I notice that people use a youtube app and would like to know why.
I have had no problem accessing and playing youtube videos from youtube.com using my Dolphin HD browser.
Prolly convenience. Same reason they use bank apps, pandora app, hulu app, etc.
Easier to use plus you don't have to deal with flash which is being discontinued anyway.

Speed.
Flash is slow.
PLUS YouTube.com is designed for computer monitors. YouTube app is designed for android.

Fullscreen - I can never get the in-browser window to fill the screen properly. I think the buttons are easier to hit in the app too.
Thanks for all the input I will give the app a try. I don't go to Youtube very often but it sounds like the way to go.

Some videos on youtube give the message" not available on mobile". I have tried multiple players, including the skyfire browser. Even using dolphin hd with desktop mode and using wifi.. Nothing works on these locked videos.. Is there a way around this?

Very odd, I only get certain videos that say that in the YouTube APP, but when I launch said videos from my browser on YouTube.com they work just fine.

Whenever I run into videos with that message, I just open up the YouTube app and it works fine.

Some youtube videos just don't have a mobile version (the mp4 file).
If you try to use a program on the desktop like Video Download Helper on those same videos, you will see that they only have *.flv downloads available, no mp4.
Even the ipod gets this error every now and again.

Ok do you guys get insane stuttering when trying to view these flash videos .http://www.logotv.com/video/episode-4-season-4-queens-behind-bars/1679428/playlist.jhtml#vid=730696
haha my girlfriend and her friends wanted to watch this show so I told them I could connect it to the tv with my hdmi adapter. then I loaded the video and it played back with the most insane amount of lag. I tried it with and without the mhl hdmi adapter. the problem exist either way. the phone itself didnt seem to lag though. because i could scroll smoothly through the webpage. any of the full episodes dont play right. I know it's a show about drag queens. haha but they wanted to watch it and I wanted to show off my new phone. of course that is when i find out these videos all lag. I have gone through two notes and both have had the issue on this website. Can anyone else test this out. sorry about the video content haha.
I experience the same lag on my note... And on wifi....

thank you! What can be causing this. I've tried using the fix for 10FPS video on stock and dolphin browser but it does nothing for this website. does anyone have a theory. The note should be able to handle that video. Especially a over clocked note. It was really embarrassing trying to show the note to a iPhone user haha

Except for the part where iPhone users can't even play Flash in a browser.
Edit: by the way the above video was flawless for me in Opera Mobile full screen mode. Unwatchable in the stock browser.
I think its LOGO`s WEBSITE!.
I have problems sometimes with it Producing Video on my 1080p TV with a 2GB Graphics card that I can play World of warcraft on ultra with 60fps on. SO I think its what logo uses.
same goes for Fox`s Website
Try using the Skyfire browser and see if it runs better. It's what I used for flash when I was on iOS. It will take the load off of your device and put it on their distributed computing network, and just stream you the transcoded video.

Haha true but still not a good way to show off the note. Interesting. I couldn't get it to work in dolphin. Let me try opera. What could cause these browsers to play these videos so poorly.

This must have updated after I tested with opera browser. It is finally watchable. I'm just curious what can cause the stock browser struggle.

Maybe try using a user script (usersscripts.org) which allows you to download the video, possibly also the audio track? These are snippets of Javascript which inject themselves into specific sites when you're viewing them. I use one named "YouTube to MP4" on Firefox on my desktop PC. Since the Android browsers are fully functional I expect the same option applies there.
For this option, Firefox requires Greasemonkey addon, but I believe it's a native option on Opera and Chrome.
Also try tubeGod(tubex) its no longer in the market so you have to search for it(its free so no problems)
Much better quality than tubemate imo and mp3s dont come as large as tubemate either
I extracted the audio from a video a few days ago
Tubemate(17mb)

Tubemate's file size is big because it downloads the whole MP4 video and renames it as MP3.

As of ics when you move browser in the background, that is switch from browser to another app, the flash content on the web page gets paused, like the waiting seconds countdown on a file sharing website, it simply means you can't multitask,
So is there a app that can prevent the browser from being dead in the background, or a floating browser will do the trick

I meant with browsers not YouTube app. With opera we can easily browse other tabs while listening to music on YouTube, even without ram manager. Well I guess I'll just have to stick with SuperVideo.
Btw, what other improvements ram manager makes? Other than keeping flash on file sharing sites while background, which opera does by itself, I think, there seems to be no visible changes..
Found a workaround in Firefox
Thought I'd share this workaround.
1. Flash Player (I'm using version 11.1.115.12)
2. Firefox for Android (version 17)
3. Use site requiring flash
4. Open settings menu in Firefox
5. Press Home/Power button to multitask/shutoff display.
Useful for flash music / radio / video.
You may want to use another browser to surf with music in the background.
cons:
Music continues playing if headphones pop out.
Not too sure of the battery drain.
Works on my stock Verizon S3 Jelly.

Hi JJeng, i use note s2 and downloaded firefox v18 but couldnt find an option home/power - multitask/shutoff - do u know where to find. and is it possible to use ram manager pro without rooting my phone.
Got it. Misunderstood your steps. Working fine now. Thanks a lot.
Tnks, fr tc suggestion,
But wht I'm looking for is live gold rates, wht i exactly want is, when i move to another app from a browser, i still want the browser to run in background, it will be helpful to others when they r downloading files from megaupload etc where the timer stops once u leave the app

Try OverSkreen. It will keep Flash running even with the screen turned off and while using other apps. The only drawback is that you need to keep it laying on top of everything. You can make the window tiny so it's less bothersome but it would still be better to find something that runs completely in the background.
Since updating my S3 to JB, all YouTube videos open in the browser instead of the app. How do I get them to default to the app instead?
I've tried resetting app preferences, Internet browser, YouTube app and nothing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Had the same issue. When you browse by Firefox, it does the same but in the last instance before playing the video then finally opens it in YouTube player.

You can blame apple for that. It was included in their lawsuit so it was removed from stock browser. Dolphin browser does the trick for me.

Agreed. I also think the default browser is still the best. Don't like that Chrome doesn't have an intelligent full screen mode like Samsung's browser.
Any fix for this yet? Really don't find Chrome as smooth or quick, but need the YT app since the video quality is so much better than the browser version...

Really hate apple... They think they invented the world..
I bought an S3 just because of this lawsuit. Would buy an Iphone, after the lawsuit i searched more about GS3 and discovered how much better it was :laugh:
Go to settings --> apps --> all --> browser --> clear defaults.
Now go back to a link to a YouTube video and now choose the YouTube app selecting "Always".
