[Q] lag free youtube? - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using gharmony gingerbread and dolphin HD browser and YouTube works good for the most part but lags slightly every 4-5 seconds or so. Is anyone else having this problem and is there anything I can do to fix it?

[Q] YouTube App Lag?

When I use the Youtube app on my 3vo, it scrolls smoothly and all, until I begin playing a video on it. Once a video begins playing, when I try to switch tabs when holding the phone in portrait mode, the transitions suddenly become choppy and laggy, whether it be scrolling through comments, or pulling down the notification bar, the entire phone seems to lag once a Youtube video is playing, regardless of it being HD or not. Is anyone else having this issue or have a possible solution? Thanks (Stock ROM)
Maybe upgrade YouTube app.

I believe it already is the newest. 2.3.4 from the market. Do you think it could be a device issue? I've tried wiping 2 times, and the same issue is happening.
No its not device issue. What r u streaming YouTube videos 3/4g or WiFi??

I use WiFi and 3G mainly, but I've experienced the issue regardless of the connection type, and also whether it be in HD or SD format.

Ok are you rooted? Have you cleared cache and data on the app??

I am not rooted, I also cleared the data and cache as you suggested, but I have the same issue. I noticed that when I pause the video, however, it seems to respond faster.. Not as fast as no video playing, but a noticeable improvement over when the video is playing and I attempt to scroll.
I hate to be a downer but this phone does not handle a few things very well, namely the youtube app and it also is slow as hell when you get thousands of texts. I think this is a sense issue personally.
I thought Sense may be the cause to it. I'm not sure if other people are experiencing the issue though, whether it be that a custom ROM solves it or my device is just 'special'..

The problem you are experiencing is universal. Scrolling while watching a video causes lag in the youtube app.

Thank you. I thought it was just my device that did this, because there were no other threads which mentioned this, which I find strange because my old HeroC did it smoothly, and now the 3VO is struggling with it. Do you know if a custom ROM or kernel resolves this?
I have the same problem as well. When playing videos in the youtube app, I get a lot of lag.
I can actually navigate the desktop version of the youtube site with less lag than the youtube app.

I've experienced this problem on numerous ROMs. In regards to kernels, I don't even know. I doubt that a kernel will eliminate the lag, but I'm not one to say.
I am also getting this issue with both youtube and vevo app. When i play videos from my sd card with mx video player, they play flawlessly. So hopefully when ics comes out this problem is fixed.... :/

This is normal and I think it has been posted a few times. Basically it's the lack of gui hardware acceleration on Android gingerbread. If you try out an ICS rom you will see its smoother. Probably not as smooth as you like but smoother than it is on gingerbread.
Don't think its normal. YouTube works fine for me. HD and normal videos play without an issue. Upload and download works fine as well. I'm running SteelH's rom with Chads#50 kernel. Youtube has never giving me a problem in the app or VIA stock browser. So I don't think it has to do with the hard ware acceleration at all. My wife has my old hero and YouTube works fine for her as well. Also my sister and brother both have the EVO4g and youtube works fine for them. Have you guys tried a different version of the app ??? Like an older ver?? Or a newer one ??

I get this issue too, no way is it normal as this is the first phone I have used to have this strange behaviour.

Yeah its weird for me because all my movies and videos that are loaded onto my sd card work great. No lag or issues but when it comes time to YouTube or vevo and even vimeo.... It will lag or skip the video around the end or halfway but the sound keeps playing.. Very frustrating.

If you try the YouTube app on ics it works fine and no lag...
I wish I could go on ics.... But I use the camera and 4g a lot haha

Browser and YouTube hangs

Hey I experience hangs in browser every 5 seconds. Its unusable. YouTube also. And loading time for stock apps is awful. I mean Settings stays black for 5 secs. Thats my only issues. Someone know how to solve this or i am going to RMA it.
dear friend,
i was having the same issue then i download youtube app taking from Galaxy tab 10.1 and its work great.
Hmm maybe a other browser

When switching to full screen with the youtube app OR in the browser flash plugin, flash stalls and there is no other way than to force close the apps.
Sometimes it even leads to a reboot.
German ICS Prime here (.11 build).
Same problem here, youtube stops and buffers lot on HD videos.

YouTube lag

When watching YouTube videos the whole phone becomes laggy, swiping between comments and related videos and pulling down the notification bar. Also the video slows down every 5 seconds then goes back to normal speed, repeatedly. The only Rom to ever fix this problem are ICS roms such as joelz. If anyone knows anything about this or experience this as well, If there is any fix..I miss using the YouTube app I have to resort to the website, thanks.

Odd, when i rocked ics roms the YouTube app showed the same results that you get not on ics, however when I'm running a 2.3.4 ROM it works flawlessly...

Flash - Full screen video problems

Is it just me ??
I'm sure full screen video in youtube (not the app, by using the browser) used to work. Now when i try to watch a full screen video in any streaming site that uses flash just makes my browser hang.
BBC iplayer
ITV
4OD
5OD
Youtube
They all play the video in the small screen but hang when i expand to full
I've uninstalled flash and rebooted etc etc
P.S. tried using stock browser, Opera mobile, Dolphin HD.
Mine does the same, put it to full screen and nothing but sound, then when I minimise it, it plays the video back to small and just won't let me shut down the browser.

that's strange as my fullscreen still works fine in all browsers. maybe try clearing all data from those browsers then trying again. I've been using opera nonstop lately since they added back flash support. watched several movies through there on fullscreen by hitting the little fullscreen button on the box.
Mine does the same thing.....it really bugs me.

I'd recommend trying ICS browser+, I have the exact same flash problems on Opera and Boat; however, ICS browser plus handles going to full screen near perfectly.
Same for me, in all browsers I have tried!
When I try full screen I get a white block and I have to force close the browser.

Been using ICS Browser + today and i'm happy to say its working flawlessly !
All flash loads full screen and plays without issue and it actually works better than all my others as an everyday browser !!
Thanks Tekara

Is there a fix for laggy, jerky, YouTube app?

I see lots of mentions and complaints about poor YouTube performance with hd videos, especially on cm10, etc. Is there any fix, modded app, setting, etc that alleviates the problem?

I really want to see if there is a fix to this too. I can not watch hd videos at all.
A bump.

I tried both CM10 (experimental) and AOKP 4.1.2 and both are excellent ROMs, however, I did experience some jerkiness in both the Youtube app and via the browser but not in all videos. I've gone back to a ICS 4.0.4 ROM and HD video via youtube app (4.1.47) and browser (Dolphin) are jerk-free and smooth. I think I'll wait until all the issues and bugs have been ironed out before going over to JB.
Jerky? Laggy? YouTube works fine for me. HD videos sometimes will load slow, but it will do the same on my galaxy s3 occasionally
