I've noticed that I'm never able to play youtube videos while on 3g and was wondering if this was common or the norm. I can watch them without a problem on 4g but I'm unable to get a 4g signal while at work and was curious about this issue.
Do a speed test to see what your download speeds are, if they are to slow then you have your answer. You don't have WiFi you can use?
Well I get around each time tested 672k down and 80k up. Not sure if its the speed as I can go to the youtube website(desktop version) and the videos will play. Its only on the mobile site and app that get the messages that there was a problem when loading. I'm just curious if anyone has had this issue with the app.
I have had an odd issue for a while now where intermittently YouTube videos refuse to load. I can try multiple times and it will just not buffer at all. Sometimes if I wait a couple hours it will finally work if I retry. This is usually using the 4g network and the latest YouTube app. Anyone else experience this?

Just loaded up BAMF SoAB 1.03 yesterday, so on a fresh rom. Disconnected from WiFi and connected to LTE, tried multiple YouTube videos and no problem. Connected to WiFi, and all was still good.
Working good for me.
Has anyone else experienced a decent bit of lag while watching shows over netflix? It's not connection based since my line is 150mbps, and clocking it to 1.2GHz from stock didn't change anything either.
Could just be Netflix itself lagging, or a problem with your service provider. Just because they claim 150 Mbps doesn't mean you'll always get it.
On my device, Netflix usually bounces between 800 MHz and 1 GHz (Netflix apparently does not support hardware decoding... )
Yes, I had the same problem - Netflix audio slightly out of sync. I tested on other devices and determined it was NOT the video source or data stream (no sync problem with other devices viewing same videos using same Internet stream at same time). I installed Tegrak overclock and pumped clock speed up one step (1.1 from 1.0). That solved the Netflix sync problem and hasn't had any negative effect I could detect on my SGP5. I set Negrak to add that slight overclock at boot. So far so good.
I used chainfire on it (4xmsaa)and it has a lot less lag.

Can't think how how that would do anything lol, but I'll try that!
as soon as The video starts I pause it for about 30-90 seconds,
then the video plays fine for about 20mins...
It might be a problem with buffering
if we could take the app apart maybe we could increase the buffer size?
For some reason, it seems super slow on my S. I am not sure if it is a Wifi issues with the S or just something with Youtube. I use the Youtube app on my Samsung Epic Touch 4g just fine on the same wifi in what I can only assume is the same quality stream, since the youtube app only has HD and non HD as a option on both devices.
On my Tablet S, all the videos seem to load very slowly and buffer a lot. Watching the progress bar load when you pause a video is super slow, like it will load a small chunk then just stop. I tend to think this is something with the App itself because netflix and crackle work fine, as well as embedded flash videos on sites like vimeo and facebook.
Another thing I have noticed on this devices, is that the default web browser seems slow as well. Often, when I go to a site, it will show the progress bar load across the top of the browser really fast, then stop at the last 1/4 and wait for a while, before finally popping up and then loading the page. Seems like there may be some optimization issues here?
This is all on a 12 mbs connection.
Exactly the same here - youtube extremely slow and browser sometimes as well (seems to depend on the website)!

Don't have these problems on my new tablet, both youtube (including HD) and internet browsing run very smooth with wifi router.
youtube gives no problem here it is even faster than my asus transformer, stock browser i dont know i use dolphin hd with boost mode this is always faster than stock browser
I think this is something to do with Wifi. Try altering the security type that you use on your router to see if that makes a difference, I think the Tablet S has issues sometimes with WPA so maybe try using WEP and see if that helps.
Hopefully Sony will sort out the underlying issue soon.
I have the same issue after upgrading to Android 3.2. Videos loading extremely slow and buffer every 10-30 seconds.
Mine does this as well. One other thing worth noting is that my google TV suffers from the same issue. This is a 3.1 or 3.2 HC device as well and it is hard wired to my router at 1000 mbps. I think this is a Honeycomb issue.
My ISP is ATT Uverse @ 12 mbps. My galaxy s2 running 2.3.6 has no issues and is generally blazing fast.
Mine run perfectly, youtube app every hd movie very smooth
I use dolphin browser HD very fast and smooth too
Sony s tablet is amazing
sony tablet s
No issues here.

Mine works fine on my home router with WPA but went slow at my mates house, when we switched it to WEP it was fine. Worth testing for people having issues.

I agree with you after i reconfigured buffalo wifi router( Security WPA-PSK AES), myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy unrooted sony tablet s never buffers now when i watch youtube on youtube app, default broweser works super fast and wiffi never disconnect at all so awsome
I'll try to change my router. Currently using WPA AES + TKIP. Maybe it does not like the dual AES+TKIP option... I'll try changing to just AES first before changing to WEP.
Also, as a update since I posted this... Youtube app was 4.x on the Tablet S when I posted this. It was this when from when I bought it as far as I know. I noticed that the market had Youtube 5.x, so I updated. This did not present it self for update, manual or otherwise, the numerous times I updated my apps in the market. I had to search for Youtube in the market and then click update... The new version seems to be a bit faster, but still does not load as fast as my Galaxy. Still buffers a lot, but not as often as before.
I tried both WPA and WPA2 - always the same issue... using totally insecure WEP should not be an option nowadays! So it seems to depend on the router a lot - nevertheless I am disappointed...

Why not try the Buffalo router that I'm using and have no issue connecting my desktop, cell phone and tablet in any corner of my house even with WPA2-PSK, it only costs US$33.

Mine was the same over WiFi until I changed the security to WEP. It works well now.

I would guess you need to change your WIFI router security to WEP. Android doesn't seem to like WPA. I hope this works for you.
(1) The connection throughput of internet service provider (ISP) may be one;
(2) Stability of wifi connection may be another.
You may try connecting your Tablet S to (i) another wifi router; and/or (ii) use another ISP to see.
I've noticed when I'm downloading files sometimes I get full speed but then it drops down to a max of 180kbp. I'm struggling to stream hd YouTube and I never had this wifi slowdown problem on my i9003 or any other wireless devices. Any ideas?
