I dont use the feature often, but recently I made 4 facebook live videos. I have all settings that I know of set to upload videos in HD. But these videos all playback in SD with no option to watch in HD. I coulda swore ive done videos in HD before. Is it something ive done or is there an inherent problem with the app or phone? Thanks.

I was wondering if any of you out there in Rezound land have had any issues watching videos that are posted to facebook or Twitter?
Last night I loaded a video of my daughter on Facebook and when I tried to play it on my Rezound the video was very distorted but the sound was fine. I also tried to watch a Video on my Friendstream app and it also would not display properly. I used 2 apps, mVideo player and streaming video player and they both would not work.
I also have the Incredible and my wife has the Incrdible 2 and the videos worked fine on those 2 devices.
Any idea what might be causing this
I've not had any video issues... but then I don't use Facebook or Twitter (friendstream either).
You don't say if you are stock, rooted or using a non-standard ROM. All of which could affect how your phone is working and would provide info for others to help/suggest.
My primary player is MXVideo player.

I've had problems with streaming videos on ICS. espn vids don't want to play and neither does the ncaa march madness streaming. I haven't tried any facebook or twitter vids.
I got my ATT Note the other day and I've noticed that when playing any youtube video (either HQ or standard def on wifi or network) that the video plays normal then speeds up for a sec then back to normal. It's especially worse at the beginning of the video. The audio stays fine, its like the video lags behind the audio and the video speeds up for a sec to catch up.. The status bar shows the video is loading way faster than the video is playing and even pausing it until its downloaded completely doesnt resolve this.
Anyone else have this issue or?
Yeah I have the same problem with HD content on YouTube. Perfect example for me is the LMFAO video Sexy and I know it.
Don't judge I think the video is funny

At least I know it's just not my phone. I haven't tried it with that particular video, but I will take your word for it. (The song is bad enough lol)
I have noticed the same problem. But when I watch YouTube on the full desktop site in the browser using Flash, it is butter smooth. Even in 720p HD.

I noticed it as well. Quite annoying. I was starting to think it was just me nit picking.

Have you tried clearing the data and cache under settings/apps? Works for many apps having similar "odd" issues with behavior.
I think ever since the update the YouTube app has just been so buggy...HQ videos barely want to load anymore

Same thing for me, I actually play youtube videos through dolphin HD browser and 720p and 1080p play perfectly. There is an issue with the youtube app and I am hoping it will be resolved with it's next update.
I hope so, it's kinda embarrassing to show someone this amazing device and to have the video act like it does..
It seems like there is a lot more buffering going on with the YouTube app after the update. Is anyone else experiencing these issues? Also does anyone have any troubleshooting suggestions for me? I did do a soft reset and also cleared the YouTube app data. Thanks
I have seen the same thing. Some people have tried Tubemate with success. Personally it really hasnt helped much for me.
I too would like to have some more info.
There is a thread in the Apps/Theme section about youtube lag and using Tube mate, maybe it will help ya.
If you dont mind report back and let us know if you find a solution.
I have an even better suggestion. forget the stock you tube app. it had buffering issues for people even before the update. its an android issue across several devices. get the app tubemate. its I'm the marketplace and its free. that will solve all your YouTube buffering issues. this app plus alot better than stock YouTube app. its not as pretty but plays the videos alot better. basically no buffering all. plus you can save any video you want and also save the video as a mp3 play in your Google music player as audio file.
Can tube mate play videos in HD or does it default to HQ?
^^ Yes you can play HD, where applicable it lets you pick your resolution.
But like I said earlier I still had issues with Tubemate while watching HD videos. It will even tell you this when you pick the highest resolution, and tells you that you maybe better off downloading the video with TubeMate.
Maybe it will work better for you guys.
Hmm, never heard of tubemate, going to try that out
I apologize in advance for this one...
Video's created on my EVO LTE and uploaded to Google Plus play fine for most people, but they won't play on my sister's laptop!
When she is logged into her G+ account and clicks on any video's I have uploaded from my EVO, a new window opens and displays only the first frame. Clearly, her laptop is interpreting the video as a photo.
I thought the issue must be with her laptop, because others have been able to play my videos. However, as a test, I uploaded a short video created with my web cam, and she can stream that just fine.
So apparently this is an issue between the EVO's videos and her laptop. My first thought was that some codec is not installed on her laptop, but Google converts any uploaded videos anyway.
Youtube videos play fine on her laptop.
The same exact thing is happening with my mom's Kindle fire, but I'll troubleshoot that separately I guess.
Btw, I tried several Google searches. apparently only my sister and mom are having this issue!
Anybody aware of a forum for G+ streaming video issues?

I never tried to see my videos on G yet. I'll try it out see what happens

Since no one is replying to my post, I decided to rewrite this again.
Problems:
Displaying "Samsung Galaxy Win GT-I8550" during boot
Most of the videos on YouTube (app) cannot be played
YouTube (app) and video players (Video Player or MX Player) is limited up to 360p
Crash when "Videos from the web" card is displaying on Chrome
Why do I care about these?
After countless times of installing custom ROM, I decided to revert back everything to default.
So, I installed I8552XXAMK1 on my phone with Odin3 and I found that my phone is displaying "Samsung Galaxy Win GT-I8550" when it is booting up.
I do know that GT-I8552 is just GT-i8550 but with dual SIM.
This problem might be the reason why my phone can't play any videos that are above 360p. (Problem 3.)
Recently, my phone cannot play most of the videos on Youtube. Even the videos that I used to watch with my phone cannot be watch now.
I uninstalled YouTube (uninstall updates) and I found that I can play the videos that I used to watch. But, after I installed latest version of YouTube, I cannot play them.
I don't want to use old version of YouTube since I really like the UI of latest version of YouTube.
So, I would love to know how to fix this problem without needing me to force myself to use old versions.
I think this problem is related to Problem 1.
My phone cannot play videos that are higher than 360p.
On YouTube, I always need to watch them in 360p, which is pretty hard to me when I am watching educational videos that involves text. Well, this is fine since I can at least watch them.
But, when I downloaded video that are above 360p (stored in phone), I cannot watch it at all. Unlike YouTube that allows me to change resolution, video players cannot.
So, I installed MX Player and needed to enable SW decoder to watch 480p and above videos.
Problem fixed? No, I want to watch videos on YouTube on 480p so it is easier for me to see things.
I really hate this one. Every time I am using Google, it always crashes when "Videos from the web" cards shows up.
Please help me fix this one because this is really disturbing me.
Please excuse my language since English is not my main language and I rarely ask for help online. You might noticed that my sentences are not really well-organised and really hard to read. I did my best to write this and I hope you reply to it.
