YouTube Throttling? - Verizon LG G3

Is anyone else experiencing issues while trying to watch YouTube videos? I have great coverage but whenever I attempt to watch a video it plays for 5 seconds then pauses for 3. I've tested this in the Austin and San Antonio areas but the results are the same. Works perfect on WiFi though.

i have been in contact with verizon over the past two days on twitter over my speeds. I also can't watch a youtube video unless my speeds are great or i turn on wi-fi. The youtube thing has recently started so I thought the same thing!! Speeds that i get I use to be able to watch youtube with no issues. Now i can't even watch in the lower resolutions without it buffering..Hopefully, more responses pop up here to see if Verizon could be throttling.

I have the same problem as does my wife on her G2.

I've had that issue as well lately on my M8. I would reboot the phone and the buffering problem would be gone. I toggled data the last time it happened and that fixed the issue. I was actually thinking it was my phone. At least in not the only one with this problem. I'm on unlimited data. Are those of you having the problem on unlimited as well.

I'm having it on all my devices. One account is personal unlimited and the other is business unlimited. A coworker, who is also on the unlimited business plan, does not have the issue. I've been going to the browser.

I have it on my G3 watching YouTube. I am in an XLTE area and pull down 68Mbps. I tried to watch Netflix and others such as Epic and there is no buffering issue. I even.had the lowest quality on YT and had the same buffering.

I'm on unlimited data too. If this thread keeps getting this response I'll definitely will be calling out Verizon. $200 a month and I can't watch YouTube!!!!

Working fine this morning. Both lines. Odd.
Edit: it worked from the time I woke up, 530am, until 10am. I'm wondering if they're getting us during peak ours because now I'm on lunch, and once again, it's buffering.
Edit 2: quick video showing what it's doing on 2 different lines. One business and one personal. Both unlimited. Here's Google ±, add usual, YouTube wasn't playing nice.. https://plus.google.com/101459856886344167523/posts/hpiQmPL3ZyA

FYI I'm not on unlimited which annoys me even more!

I'm having the same problems on my G3 with Verizon. I can have excellent reception full 4g LTE and no matter what the resolution same problem. Glad it's not just me.

I have no idea if this has anything to do with this problem. My line of thinking is that _maybe_ they're testing ways to throttle. However, with tiered data users having the problem as well, it doesn't make sense. The fact this is happening, doesn't make sense. I guess if this was a test, it wouldn't last this long either. http://www.droid-life.com/2014/07/24/verizon-network-optimization-throttling-unlimited-lte/
I will say that the mobile YouTube website is pretty good.

Edit: once again, YouTube is working fine in the morning. I will continue to check it throughout the day and try to see when they begin to throttle.
Edit 2: working great at 9:30am EST. I'll see if it does the same as yesterday and throttles me by my lunch at 12.
Edit 3: 11:15am, I've been throttled. I tried it at 10:30 and it was still fine so it looks like 11 is the magic number.

Having unlimited data with high speed was the only reason I was still with verizon, with their locked phones. I'm jumping ship to tmobile's unlimited data plan and getting me an unlocked bootloader g3.

This is why Google needs to put the watch later cache feature back in. Maybe they could even beef it up and let us choose how much to cache, and what videos are most important to cache. I'd love to have a way to rearrange the watch later section also. Maybe have 4 options; oldest to newest added, newest to oldest added, shortest to longest videos, and longest to shortest. I really hate that they removed the feature. I didn't update just because that feature was the most important feature in the YouTube app (followed by playback with screen off that they also removed) but a few days after the update the feature stopped working on the old version I was on as well. A lot of times it seems like they take one step forward and two steps back. I think I'm just going to have to try and find a decent 3rd party solution.
Edit: I'm sure share nothing users would love this back as well. I think Google is getting money from some of the carriers to remove the feature to force people to pay for more data (or scale back their usage).

GNote Data Being throttled? Data Stopping frequently.

Hello, all.
I have the GNote on the $50 5GB plan and up until today was experiencing some fairly quick data speeds. Today, however, when the Data is 'flowing' it is working well, but I am experiencing quite a few pauses in the delivery of the data.
I am completely stock using the original SIM and the original APN (AT&T PTA).
I have an AT&T Tablet right next to the Note and am not experiencing this on the tablet, which is on the Broadband APN.
Anyone else experiencing this? Thoughts? Thanks.
I am. I am on the unlimited LTE data. It works fine most of the time. But sometimes when i go to a full website it just hangs on a white screen loading the page.
Xda app sometimes wont connect on initial launch.
Some other apps like amazon wont load all product data.
Rather annoying. Especially when im only at 1300mb for this billing period.

I thought it was just unlimited plans and certainly not if you have not passed your limit. Sometimes they are adjusting the network etc which can lead to issues like you are describing.

It would most likely not affect you coming in since only unlimited plans get throttled. They have not been offered for a while but some of us were grandfathered in.
Depending on where you live and how strong the network is there. Here in DFW and Texas for that matter, I must say the ATT network is top notch. LTE is reliable and fast and in most of our larger cities.

Verizon upped data for same price

I had the 5gb data plan for $50 a month. I just logged into my account and hit change plan because i was thinking about getting more data, and they are offering double data. Now i get 10gb and dont have to pay any extra. Pretty surprised on that one.
Wonder if that works for Hotspots too. Will have to check as I have a 4G Hotspot on a 5GB plan right now that I use for a bunch of non-3G devices.
Updated: Answer is no.
You guys could get unlimited data and unlimited hotspot if you did this.

That's good news, I pulled 5 GB last month basically streaming music in the car and with normal usage and that's with being on wifi all day at work because my building is a signal black hole. I don't know how they expect people not to go over these tiers they have, I can only imagine they are getting a lot of complaints from people going over and getting billed for it.

New att throttle policy really not affecting my usage

after being throttle to .6 mb this cicle i have to say im not seing a difference in my usage
i currently am at 9gbs of usage this month and am able to still stream my nba games live at throttled speeds still.
i currently am doing my parctice were i use my phone a lot for video chat and photo taking for price checking and inventory.
I aint tryying to denfend att in no way in fact i did start a complaint here in puerto rico fcc equivalent when this whole five percent thing started to the point of having to talk to there customer service manager.

That sucks. That almost happened to me this time when I changed my phone to GNote from Atrix. ATT tried to pull a fast one by charging me the same price for 3gb of data. It wasn't a difficult process but they did have to make a claim. Nowadays even supervisors can't change the plan... Thankfully, i keep a good eye on my usage.
I wonder if you guys can get the unlimited data plan back with the iPhone 2G (aka Original iPhone) trick. Get an old iPhone, activate it on iTunes and it will get you the unlimited data plan since that was the only plan available for the iPhone 2G. Don't know if that loophole was closed but some people have claimed they tried it in December and it was still working as of then.
EDIT: Looks like that loophole has been closed and no longer works
Beats getting overcharged i guess buat am able to use my phone normally so maybe now att is using there heads
or you can go the verizon way and have an 10gb plan (20gb if ya bought it at christmas time)
now theres a plan i dont think anyone will cross

They've been doing it for months and its everywhere not just in select areas but most people wouldn't ever use enough data to get throttled.
The only real change is that now they've set the throttle cap at 3gb for HSPA+ phones & 5gb for LTE phones. Up until last month they were basing the throttling on being in the 'top 5%' of other users in your area, which resulted in people on 'unlimited plans' getting throttled under 2gb.

Well thanks for the thanks anyway lol.. I was always suspicious of how they were throttling but now that they've set some actual numbers in stone I feel a little better about it. I'm a little irritated though that I pay for two identical unlimited data plans (for the past 5 years) and now one gives me 3GB while the other gives me 5GB.. even though I pay the same for both.. Oh well, its better than randomly being throttled at 2GB I guess.
At about 6.5gbs (which is pretty low for my average monthly usage) and have not been throttled even after reviving notification.

LTE question

So my girlfriend is going to be getting a note.
But we don't get lte in our area. We hardly get 4g.
Do we absolutely have to add a lte data plan on to our account or could we get like a 3g/4g data plan?
Basically don't want to pay for something we are never going to use.

You can call ATT to verify but I'm pretty sure you can use a normal data plan. Your account needs to be provisioned for LTE for it to work (and with the SIM iirc), but you should still be able to pull hspa+ with no issues.
I wasn't charged anything extra for having LTE provisioned on my account, but I'm also grandfathered unlimited.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Yeah, it will depend greatly on the actual AT&T person who sets you up. Bottom line is that technically, you can use the Note without being provisioned for LTE. My girlfriend and I both had our Notes set up on our old data plan for a couple of months before a store realized the error while fishing in our account for other stuff.
Ok. I actually just called them.
The guy basically said that no matter what I get for data 3g/4g/LTE its all the same price.
It just depends on how much data she wants.
Can anyone confirm this?
She had a 2gb data plan from like 2 1/2 years ago. They don't offer that so they said regardless we are going to be charged more once we upgrade the contract.
Sent from my Epic Touch using XDA Premium App
Yeah the 2gb plan is no longer available, it's now like 500mb for 20 3gb for 30 and i dint remember how much the 5gb plan was cause i went with the 3gb
The plans and prices are all the same regardless of what smartphone u have. Currently they are $20/300mb $30/3gb $50/5gb with tethering. if u already had a smartphone on an older smartphone data plan you are grandfathered in to that for the time being.

I miss my Unlimited sprint... cricket sucks lol. Yeah ICS has a built in data monitor. and you can change the limits by sliding them up or down, since stock limit seems a little low.
I only have 1gb with o2 Germany but it's fairly fast. I average about 3mbps down and 1.5mbps up with full signal
But once I reach 1gb then it slows down to gprs speed (barf)

how the hell did you manage to get 1GB over the internet app...
i mean downloads are in a seperate app so...
I did watch a lot of streamed content here and there, didn't realized how much. It might be counting downloads.

Downloads count towards internet in the usage.

In almost no time my EVO 3D hit the default limit warning lol! I don't remember setting the monitor up, I didn't
know ICS had this feature.
This is mostly over my 4G.
I'd never make it on another carrier.

I just got the same message on mine today. I changed the message to 8 gigs instead of 2. Let's see how long it takes me to reach THAT plateau!
i'm confused, mine shows 0.00MB for the last month and I know that's wrong since I use the internet all the time during lunch (non-wifi). Not that it matters on Sprint, but I'm trying to gauge usage if Sprint's NV rollout doesn't improve my service so I won't get screwed if I move to VZ.
gonna see if it's a known bug on MeanICS.

If you average more than 2GB on the go, you're screwed. $30 = 2GB, $50 for 5GB. (VZW)
$30 for 2GB is a joke IMHO. For limited data, $30 for 4-5GB sounds reasonable.
I laughed at AT&T when they told a guy he could use his WiFi when he was near his 2GB limit. He told them "That's great & all but are you going to be paying my home internet bill when I go over, what's the point?"

LOL, what don't I stream?
Music
Some 20 minute shows
Youtube vids that don't open the app ( I gotta fix this)
I was downloading a few ICS ROMs & a Kernel
Hahaha I usually average 6 gb data per month. Screw limits!

Ok I can't be actually using this much already. No way... How do people make it on limited data?

I thought only 4g was unlimited.
3g was capped at 5gb, then throttled when I worked at corporate 6 months ago.
Google + pertinent info = results

With the $10 PD fee, it's all unlimited. Most of what I racked up there was over 4G.

$20 for 6 GB on Roger's (Canada)
Between wifi at home and at work, I rarely even scratch the surface!
