I cant get Netflix app to play videos with higher resolution than 720p and 30 FPS. The S9 has hardware capability to show 1440p and 60FPS, but Netflix seems to limit this to low resolution.
Any fix for this?
I have tried it on out superfast Wi-Fi and superfast LTE, no difference.
You can check this with Netflix own "Test Pattern" videos. Actual FPS and Resolution is shown in upper right corner when you zoom out to original video size.

If you are rooted then that is the reason

No root. Actually have the same problem on my Tab S4.
But we get full 4K and 60 FPS on our Samsung TV built in app, and also our Nvidia Shield TV.

I believe resolution is limited by your Netflix subscription, if you only paid for 720p then that's the max res you can watch with

Nah we have ultra 4K subscription. Running smoothly 60 FPS and 4K on our Samsung Q-Led tv and on our Nvidia Shield TV player.

App limitation apparently, this one might get you 1080p
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/netflix-inc/netflix/netflix-5-3-1-build-19296-release/
all versions up to 5.3.1 operate at 1080p and a bitrate of 5800kbps which is the highest quality possible on smartphones.

I tested this method today, it works! So it is indeed app limitation NOT subscription. Tested it on my s9 and girfriends s9+, both worked. However, getting to 720p resolution on the newer versions is much faster than getting to 720p or 1080p on this older version. So maybe locking to 720p is the effect of some network and streaming optimizations.
Had to go older to get mine working

I tried 5.3.1 but it immediately prompted me to update to continue. So I used 4.12.2 and my content was watchable again. I’m on an S9 with Pie.

When I go into video recording mode, the max resolution is displays is 1280x720 even though this phone supports 1080p. I checked the hardware with software info apps and the camera is supposed to be able to capture 1080p as well. Is this a hardware or software problem? Anyone else not able to record video in 1080p?

not quite.....i think SGS Glide only has 720p....
there is a disclaimer at the bottom, but after reading a few reviews of the device, everything says 720p, no 1080p.

That's weird because the video camera is reported to support up to 1080p in apps like Elixir and I vaguely remember rogers showing 1080p recording unless it's been changed now.

In fact, it was changed, just like the NFC, crap, no 1080p video recording, no NFC, what the f*ck was Samsung thinking ?

Nothing guys?
This article says someone tested it, so I'd say yes.
http://techcrunch.com/2013/11/29/go...o-hurt-video-playback-performance-on-nexus-7/
Now that doesn't mean that all apps can do it, but the hardware, when using the proper app, is capable.
Are you looking the N7 to play the video at 60fps itself or are you mirroring the video onto a TV or other monitor of some sort?
I've noticed that any 60fps 1080p video or 4K video that I take on my Pixel XL and upload to Google Photos always shows up as plain old 1080p. Has anyone else noticed this?
I've noticed that if I download the same video in Google Drive to my machine, 60fps or 4K remains intact- but not when playing back in the browser (either in Drive or Photos).

When playing back in photos, do you adjust the quality in the bottom right? (Similar to YouTube)
Update: I see now. Even though it's got the quality options in the lower right, the options are limited to Auto are various resolutions from 1080P on down. No 4k or 60fps. Weird.

Yep very weird. I haven't seen anyone else talk about this issue either.
I am guessing that like YouTube that because the screen of the Pixel XL is 2k it doesn't give the option for 4k play back on the phone itself
That's a shame.... It should at least do the 60fps
Hi!
Anyone can stream at 1080p in Netflix? The maximum I am getting is 480p.
It can be tested searching for a video called "test patterns". While playing it, the resolution and frame rate appears in the top right corner (yellow text).
Netflix works:
Not certified device = 480p even if you have paid for 1080p
Certified device = maximum resolution you have subscribed
I think maybe the htc10 is not certified for 1080p video.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/netflix-hd-ultrahd-ultrahd-dolby-5-1-l1-t3535349
Thanks!
So, the HT 10 is a L3 device, right? I mean, only can stream at 480p.
I've tested 1080p without problems.
With the official app or the one modified?

Ok, so confirmed that the htc10 is a L3 device.
I am going to test the modified.
Just noticed this in Netflix app. It seems my S20 Ultra isn't capable of playing Netflix in 4k hdr and is capped to SD. Screenshot is from Netflix. Does anyone else have this issue too?
S20 ultra can only output 1440p. It wouldn't stream in 4k. That being said it should be doing 1440p or 1080 at the least.

FHD is 1080P, QHD is 1440, UHD is 4k
Your DRM is L3. Are you rooted ? If so, there is nothing you can do to go back widevine L1 as I know.
It might not be your phone. There were several reports back in March that Netflix (and other streaming services) would be temporarily capping their streaming quality to SD. Whether this is the case now I don't know for sure. I just offer it as a possible explanation.

I was about to say the same thing - it should say "VP9 (Secure)" and "AVC-High (Secure)" - the phone's security is likely flagging as unsecure and copy protection is locking the resolution to SD.
In other words, for some reason Knox is telling Netflix you messed with it.
Mine says Full HD
Whats weird is snowpiercer is available in HDR but Dark is supposed to be UHD but is only available in HD, i would have thought that it would be HDR at least.
I assuming HDR is higher than HD or am i wrong?

HDR = 4K + HDR
UHD = 4k + SDR
On Netflix anyway. Some of the times... They make it confusing. You can get uhd 4k with dolby vision which is also hdr but different to hdr10

My other issue is Did netflix reduce data/quality based on Our Wonderful Government here in Australia requesting restrictions. What may be available in higher resolution might be restricted.
https://amp.theguardian.com/media/2...an-to-reduce-data-to-avoid-broadband-overload
I would check but I'm rooted. My TV plays Netflix in the correct resolution so who knows
Netflix on my S20 Ultra on DBT, 96Hz & Full HD says the following:
Incidentally Stan is the same Breaking Bad is supposed to be 4KUHD however it is only available to me in HD
