Hi,
I found that the youtube preinstalled app with latest updates limits me to view videos with max resolution of 360p. I have D620r with v10g OS. I know that when I bought the phone I could watch 480p videos but idk what i've done. I tried uninstalling the updates but still nothing. I wonder if the v10g update broke this
Are you sure that you can't watch videos at 480p even if you could watch those specific videos in the past?

Yes. I'm very sure.
If your device is rooted, download Xposed framework and download the module YouTube for it which will make you able to put the default pane shown when app started and also force a max default resolution

Updated to latest version, already had root and xposed but the experimental features for resolution don't work tried 720p 1080p 2160p but it still remains 360p. Also activated override compatibility checks. What now?

Wait? You wanted it to stick 480p right? Then set it to that. this is just a tool I use to make it stick to it, and not degrade in quality. Don't put it higher than the hardware allows

In that case, it was just YouTube doing stupid things on their side

I can choose 480p im YouTube on my stock V10F.
I raised my g2m res to 720p with a script, so it goes while booting, so all apps recognize as native resolution, because it changes before system starts, and then this res becomes available to use in YouTube.

Anyone know if it will work? I pulled one from an Evo ROM, but it said it couldn't be installed. Would be nice to have it play in the highest def as default.
I used the one from cm 5.0.8. Worked like a charm. My girl's phone isn't rooted & she just installed the apk & upgraded the youtube app using astro
Isn't the I've from 5.0.8 just the regular one?

Right, my bad. I forgot I modded cm5.0.8 myself to have that in there from the start. Sorry about that, here's the apk I used
Isn't the factoryyoutube app on the vibrant hd? When I watch a video I click the menu soft key and scroll to the bottom and click watch in high quality.

The apk I posted has the option in the settings to set high quality as default
But When i watch Videos on the youtube app on my vibrant i go to settings and it says watch in normal quality that means it's already on high quality right?

I'm not sure. Are you using wifi? If you are in wifi, it will default to high quality. But this option will make it default to high quality if you are on edge, 3g or wifi

Thanks for the find. Works fine on my vibrant.
HQ video selection.
That would be nice. It's annoying having to go to settings and choose high quality ever time I watch a video. I get great 3g in my area so I rarely use wifi

yea the youtube hd apk works fine, im not rooted and I downloaded and works great
Very helpful! Thanks for the tip!!
Dear all
I feel very sad because Z Ultra doesn't support subtitles for watching movies from Movies app.
The only way I find is to install any other app like VLC etc.
These small required things makes me miss my Note II.
Sent from my C6802 using Tapatalk
I think the Movies can give full support for Movies purchased through the SEN store. Same with Apple's apps I suppose. MKV files also does not have sound. I think this is due to the codec licensing issue. Installing VLC is the only option unfortunately.

I don't really see the hardship about installing a free third party app like MX Player.

I use third party apps whenever possible for a couple of reasons.
1.) They are normally better than stock apps.
2.) To avoid the very issue you have just encountered when swapping devices.
Thats just me though each to his own, I agree it can be frustrating when simple features get left out
Sony heard it. Now MOVIES app with subtitles support. Thank you SONY.

Yup, got it last week. It is also possible to play videos in the background now (i.e audio). Not sure if it was there before, but i didn't notice it until the latest update.

Have you tried BSPlayer? It's a third party video player which HAS subtitle support.
Give that a go and report back.

I used to play videos by Dice Player. However, my concern was why there was no option for subtitle support for the default player in Z Ultra? Which in general I have seen in other mobile device.
I thought it's the basic required thing in all video playing apps.

True LordManhattan, but third party video/music players are always better, depending on the application and support of course.

Sure, but i hate having unnecessary 3rd party apps installed, so i'm not complaining when Sony updates their stock apps with new features
Hi, does anyone else having the same issue as what I'm having? Youtube quality isn't as good on this device compared to galaxy note 3 or HTC one.
Videos play smoothly but the quality and the sharpness of the videos seems to blur and not as sharp and I already set the youtube setting to HD.

Download boat browser or another preferred browser with support for flash and watch 1080p without a problem.
If that's not an option, get the youtube mod allowing for 1080p streaming. Although I couldn't get it to work it might get fixed soon.
Turn off X-reality also, it kills YouTube.

I already knew that option but its not as easy as playing via app. Anyway thanks for your suggestion
I tried Viral Youtube app and its quality even though max it support 720p as of now(earlier used to support 1080p) is really fantastic.I find it much better than default youtube app.
So I flashed the newest OmniRom kitkat to my galaxy SII and everything is working perfectly except for the youtube app ....the videos are now pixelated and I can't seem to find anything about this subject online.
Videos work fine on the browser or videos that I downloaded..it's just the Youtube app that is pixelated..any solution for this?
It is known bug and no solution at the moment. You can use YouTube HD app wich is modded official 4x app. You can find it here at the forum. You can use also any different apps from play store - all of them work fine.

Flash does not work anymore, unless you use a browser that still supports it. Otherwise, all mobile compatible videos work for me.
