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

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??
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
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??
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
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...

hi guys,
looked through the fora but could not find something maybe someone can help me out.
I have bad lag when i watch flashvideos in my browsers. all of them same lag. standardbrowser, skyfire, mozilla, dolphin.
Anyone with the same problem and even better anyone a solution?
Yeah I started thread couple week ago. It's in a q& a section. Unfortunately, there's no solution as of yet regarding video freezing but sound keep playing when streaming on network. Playing on wifi works fine.
One thing I found helps is restarting phone before starting Netflix for example or watching from browser.
Also note YouTube app does not suffer from this, so sometimes if it's a YouTube video embedded in the Page I just click on video link to be able to watch in the app instead of browser.
Waiting for JKay mod on GT-I9300

mine does the freezing on wifi too.so i am not the only one out there. i got to call samsung holland i guess. can not keep restarting the phone. but tell me what is this Jkay mod? can i do it on a non rooted phone?
Yes I'm also suffering this problem. On network or WiFi on all browsers. Pain in the arse!

Flash doesn't lag on the GS3. But it does freeze frequently. If it lags then very likely you aren't actually using flash but the html5 player instead.
Netflix app does not actually use nor is dependant on flash. Also uninstalling flash completely, so that videos that do play, default to html5, still freeze while sound keeps playing, which leads to conclusion that it's not flash issue.

Try ICS Browser+ from Google play...
Flash videos did lag for me initially, so I tried clearing the application data but that wasn't possible. So I installed flash 10, which was incompatible, then updated it using Google Play to flash 11 and it seems to work better now.

I have an HTC Thunderbolt running Liquid Gingerbread v3.0 ROM version liquid.mecha.20111007.150023 with a kernal 2.6.35.14-imoseyon-4.1.2AOSP
My problem is that videos from the internet will no longer play, they used to play. I have tried both the stock browser and Dolphin browser to no avail.
Youtube videos in either browser will play audio but no video, just a black box. In the youtube app, no audio or video will load, just the spinning loading wheel.
In Vimeo I get vertical colored bars in both browsers with audio.
Videos from other sources either won't load or will play only audio with a black video box.
I had this problem a long time ago when I first installed this ROM. There was a Flash video fix I had downloaded from this forum that I can no longer find. Anyone know what I am talking about?
I fear I have installed a Flash video update that has broken video on my phone, that is the only theory I have. Please help, I would like to watch video again.

Try this Adobe flash player 10.2 should fix your problems ---> http://db.tt/4BnmtBlK

If his fix doesn't work for you then try using mxplayer and the codex for arm devices. The flash fix didn't work me.

Yea this version of flash worked for me too when I was running liquid 3.2 gingerbread
Also jesman you should update to liquid 3.2 and imoseyon 6.2.1 kernel if your gonna run liquid
To get Flash 10.3 working on the stock browser you need to do two things:
1) force stop the browser process
2) Remove all permissions for /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data
*Fix also works for Dolphin. Just change com.android.browser to mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser
Changing the permissions restricts the flash plugin or the stock browser or the webkit or I dunno what from reading config.data. This file is screwing with video playback of anything over 240p.
What's weird is that the config.data generated for 10.2 and 10.3 appears to be identical, except for the ProductVer string. Since the file contains settings for h264 high, baseline and main profiles, there's probably some change in 10.3 to the way it uses this information.
Either way, this is a bandaid for those that don't wish to use Opera until the heart of the issue is found/addressed.
I claimed no credit for this post. Read it in a cyanogenmod forum credit goes to OneLikeSeaBass

Deleting the config.data file also seems to have the same effect. It rebuilds that after you delete so there are no I'll effects.

Ok, wow thanks guys for the feedback. I am going to give these a try later tonight and I will post back the results.
This forum is great!
The solution from heath2805 worked. Deleting the config file only fixed the youtube app. Thanks again!

Hi guys.
Just wondering what the state of JB is since I haven't upgraded my ROM in a while. I've been running CounterShrike 3.0.1 for months and it's been good, but I'd like to try Google Now and whatnot. Some specific questions about the "unofficial CM build" -- I don't really want all the tweaks and whatnot on other roms:
-Does Google Music work properly?
-Is there still artifacting when watching videos?
-Does video chat work?
-Does chrome work well?
-Less/more laggy than CM9?
Thanks

-Music players work but when you start Google music or Apollo they crash on the first try of playing a song, than it works normally when trying again (after the last update Google music seemed to have been fixed for some people)
-yes there's video tearing
-i haven't tried video chat, so wait for someone to answer that
-havent tried chrome but the default one works amazing. I tried Firefox on other ROMs and I think default is best but I'm sure it will work fine
-I find it smoother all around except for gaming. Cm 10.1 is not completely done so gaming isnt the best, it depends on what game your playing though. Some of my games are smooth as butter and some others are choppy
If you do choose a cm 10.1 ROM the unofficial one is good and its updated every 4th night

Yep planning on going with unofficial. I hardly watch videos on my phone so that doesn't really matter. Don't game either. Google Music is pretty crucial but if it works after closing and reopening that's fine.
Thanks for answering!

The video camera is hit or miss also, something to think about if you use it regularly.

Yeah I've heard it sometimes produces corrupted files. I've never recorded a video on my phone so that's cool
Video chat works also.
Video cam can be fixed with a few things. Right now my builds are just randomly rebooting but so far cam looks good.
Apollo(default music) gives me problems every now and then. But Google Play works great.
So,I've got another problem.
Suddenly,my 720p video playback got choppy while watching in web (no issues in gallery),and again,this happens only on stock ROM. Can anyone tell what can be the cause,please? This is getting annoying,I can't enjoy watching videos on youtube anymore. The worst thing is,that changing ROMs didn't help.
Up.

Nah,man. All videos stutter. In gallery and in internet,too. Also,camera recording isn't smooth anymore,and is also having some lags.
Guess there's something with GPU. Wondering if it can be replaced? Or replacing everything under the hood could help?
