It's probably your data connection. Try it over wifi or lte (when available).

You could if you clicked the hd button on the top right. I used to all the time. I was on cm7 though but it would work.

I have ruled out dns, and I have plenty of bandwidth, however every youtube video on my wifi stops every few seconds.
There is no 4g, so I would be most appreciated if anyone has any pointers.

Is the red staying ahead if the little drag icon? I know on 3g it does it a lot for me but not on 4G or WiFi.
Sent from my EVO 3D on the now or later network
Where the 4g seemed to stream and cache, the 3d streams only and constantly stops. I have 12GB WITH UVERSE, so it's not bandwidth.

I can tell you it might be that the recent release of YouTube is wayyy messed up... I could be just that. Try going to mobile YouTube website and see if it streams normally... At least until they fix the app in an update.

Does anybody use this app? If so, has anyone noticed a bad lag when using it to download videos, especially when dragging down the status bar?
Been using it for a while now. Haven't noticed any lag but I usually don't pay too much attention. Gonna D/L something now.

Cool, let me know.
The only thing that really lags is when I try to pull down the notification bar when it's downloading. Scrolling through the home screens seems fine.

Well I just download about 10 different videos over 3G, 4G & Wifi. Didn't see any lag when pulling down the notification bar or the phone in general. Maybe you need to do a restart maybe? Sorry I couldn't re-create the problem you are having.

I've used it for years. No problems here

Still having the problem even after rebooting, uninstalling and reinstalling. Is there any advantage JetVD has over TubeMate?
So uninstalled JetVD, installed TubeMate and downloaded a Youtube file without any lag. I like JetVD's interface a lot better but I can't deal with the notification bar freezing up so I guess I'll keep TubeMate unless there's a better option.
I've been using FreeDi Youtube Downloader since I got my OG Evo 4G and I've loved it. Now continue to use it flawlessly on the Evo 3D.
I prefer to get vd slow, I would not like it jet fast

Been waiting for them to update this as HD clips look incredible on the Rezound!!!

Can't you get it from the market? Why would you need a HD YouTube app on the sensation that doesn't have an HD screen?
Edit. There is a new chrome plug in that lets you download apks, to your desktop.

Just do a search in the market for 'youtube' and go into it. It will allow you to update from there. It wasn't showing under my apps list to update.

If you tap on the screen while playing an HD video, the screen will show a button in the top right corner of the screen with 'HD' and a green light
Since I'm running 4.0.3, I had to revert from the 3.3.0 version of the YouTube app to 2.4.4 in order to get hd.

I figured out the problem. You only get the hd option on 4G. I can watch a video in hd on 4G then if I switch to cdma I only get the hq option.
I also presume wifi would work too
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
Yea, HD only works for me on 4G and Wifi. HD on a 3G connection would have to buffer too much and render the video practically un-watchable.

YouTube will not work. When you try to play a video it just black screens and freezes. This also happens when I try and use an app that opens YouTube. It will not work once it tries to launch YouTube. The two in particular that I have is Funny Videos and Top Music Videos. Anyone else experiencing this?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Nope, works fine for me.... Well, at least when I'm on WiFi and off of Sprint's crappy 3G -.-
Edit: Well, I'm used to getting terrible 3G service but now I can confirm its more than that.. When on 3G YouTube is indeed broken.. Stock, never been rooted
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling? My YouTube app works fine

I could only uninstall tbe last update, which I did. I also tried power cycling and neither worked. I would hate to have to do a factory reset

All streaming, YouTube etc works perfectly for me as designed. Currently on Fresh 1.0 w no wipes and newest PRL. Note, that's also on WiFi and 3G.

no issues here.....stock updated no root no tamper.....works in updated youtube app on wifi and sprint 3g.
...try and clear you tube app data?
mine does this sometimes but a refresh normally fixes it. and this is not with the app that i have noticed it is wit videos on sites and only happens when u make them full screen also sometimes if u just watch it a second the vid comes back
I did a little tinkering and I found that switching to Firefox browser fixed this.. I was using Chrome and it may be related to that. What browser were you using?

barely use it since its not convenient to pop out as it was on the OG Evo.
I've probably used it a handful of times at the most.
I've found it useful for using my phone at the table while eating to read articles and such.

I use it almost daily. When browsing and eating, Netflix, and reading articles.

I like having it. I had the original Evo, and was upset my Evo 3D didn't have it. That said, I rarely ever use it! Lol. I never watch TV shows or movies directly on my phone. I use my Asus Infinity tablet for that. If I do watch TV or movies on my phone, I stream them to my HTC Media Link. My TV has Netflix, YouTube, an Internet Explorer, and other apps built in to it, so I just use that sometimes. The Media Link is great, I use it quite often!! I pay for DroidTV, so I stream it to my Media Link from my phone or just use the special HDMI cable to hook up my tablet. The kickstand is a GREAT feature, and I hope the next Evo has one as well, even though I may never use it either, lol

It's really nice when you are trying to show a video to a group of people: just prop it down and everyone has the perfect angle. Then start the "oohs" and "aaahs" as they see this amazing phone.
