Streaming on Note 9 - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

I've been having issues streaming 1440p on YouTube on my data plan. I previously had a pixel 2xl and had no such issues. Is there anything I can do to try and troubleshoot this? T-Mobile customer here

Try the vanced version of YouTube. Maybe it can help. You can find it here on xda.

Android Market.

I found a link the other day, I don't have it currently but I can try to find it if someone wants, about a new Android Market. I want to install this but not without a file to reinstall my current Market. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Thread to get the new APK is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166152
it dosent really matter because i think android will be rolling out the new market so it will just replace it
I have been running it for the last three weeks. Visually it looks great and is alot better organized. If anyone would like the APK pm me your email address and ill send it to you.

Do you mean the APK for the new or old market?
Just install it. There should not be any problems. I've been using it for about a month now. Its great!
Alright. I just installed it. I think it's an awesome market. I was just afraid to lose the other one in case something was wrong with this one.
With Google made apps (market, gmail, maybe more... ) you can uninstall updates if something goes wrong as opposed to having to uninstall and find the old apk
menu>> settings>> applications>> manage applications>>all

Thanks. I would hit the thanks button but it yells and says I can only thank 5 times a day.
I have the new APK.
Just sent it to Scott!!
Updated OP. Added a link to get the new apk.
New Android Market!
I saw a new market app on the new Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1" yesterday and when I got home my market app asked me to agree to market terms and boom, I had the same market on my phone! I'd assume that this is the market you all are talking about. I would guess everyone will be getting it, it was even pushed to my Droid 1 that's just on WiFi at the moment. Thought it was pretty cool.
Just got the update yesterday....great update.
Movie Rentals eh?
So it looks like Google is launching their new movie rental service with this market update. I don't think I'll use it because I have Netflix, but has anyone tried that feature yet?
I watched "The Switch" with my girlfriend through google movies. It went really well, was cheaper than a lot of places, and it was basically a Youtube video. It had the typical controls and quality selection of youtube, and the picture quality was good. It was quiet, but many video services are, and that may be because of my computer. Overall, 4/5. Could have had better sound, but the quality was really good. Now just wondering if you can download those movies like you can normal youtube clips. Oh, and it doesn't play on rooted devices.

Google just launched their Videos App in the market. You can also view you on device videos through it and the interface and organization is pretty nice. The videos you rent can now be watch through videos instead of YouTube. You can also browse rentals through the app.

Tab S included demo video

I got my tab a few days ago and found in the video app an awesome demo video, but somehow I've lost it. Can someone provide me with a copy of that video? Much would be appreciated.

He meant the demo video that Samsung provides to show off the AMOLED Display.
It's called wonder of nature. I'm trying to upload it to my drop box but it's taking forever! Lol
I found it on you tube though

I got half way through that video before reading down the page. That's hilarious
The exact same thing happened to me. I watched the video once, then it disappeared. There's a widget to display it on the desktop but the video's gone. Can anyone suggest a good free YouTube downloaded that actually works?

Have you tried looking in your My Files folder under Video as that's where mine is.

Trouble with YouTube

I'm getting 30+ Mbps down and YouTube still stops to buffer every couple seconds. Anyone else have this problem?
I'm on Verizon. WiFi or 4G makes no difference. Developer edition w/ exposed and gravity box.
I've tried everything I can think of except wipe 100% back to stock.
I was having this issue today. It might be on google server's side.
Just ran a video on YouTube, vzw 4g lte not even hitting 30 Mbps in my location and not a bit of buffering here. Running kryptons ROM. Clear cache/data on YouTube worth a shot before a full reset.
I really think this is a YouTube thing

My wife's GS4 can play the same YouTube videos flawlessly. Super frustrating.
Did you try uninstalling all updates to the Youtube app?
I have issues with YouTube on all of my internet-connected devices.
It's most likely Verizon, though sometimes it might be on Google's side.
Here was my scenario (Verizon performance issue):
Had Verizon 4G LTE with 63Mbps down ("XLTE")
Tried to load an HD video, and it just stayed in the loading/buffering stage and would maybe play 1-2 frames every 15-20 seconds.
My friend's internet was from Time Warner Cable, so I connected to his Wifi, and I **** you not, the video loaded and fully buffered in about a second with 15Mbps down.
Once I turned off Wifi, the video stopped playing once the pre-loaded/buffered section ended.
So, I'm pretty much done with Verizon.
This **** is also driving me crazy, get 35mbs and can't stream 480p YouTube

I don't think its verizon. I can tether my tablet to my motox and the tablet will play youtube just fine. Try to load yhe same thing on the x and it pauses and buffers. I'm going to do a full reset. Ill post my results here. (Willprobably be a few days.)
I'm on vzw as well. The YouTube app buffers as soon as launched on 4G. If the same video is opened via chrome there is no buffering.

I wouldn't give Verizon the benefit of the doubt usually, but I just streamed 10GB of data from my Plex server over the weekend without so much of a hiccup
If you uninstall the youtube app updates it works without buffering. It must be an app issues with our device. I am using Verizon and was having the same buffering issues and once I uninstalled the youtube app updates the app works again without buffering every 5 secs.
So we can't have the latest YouTube updates.....amazing

I said to uninstall updates to the Youtube app in post #6 in this thread. Did you read it, or find out on your own that this solves the issue?

I actually found this solution on another website forum, but I did notice your post after posting and even thanked you with the thanks button. But it did seem like people missed your solution based on the posting after yours.

Yeah..I thought some might have missed it as well. The fix worked for me a long time ago, and I haven't updated the app since. I most likely won't update it again, as it works great for me.
For everything else there's Viral Pro

For Christ's sake YouTube...

Why is the note 4 the only quad HD device that doesn't support max YouTube resolution. 720p is all I'm seeing even in the latest update.
Yes I have wiped data and cache, yes I have uninstalled and reinstalled both the play store and apkmirror sideload.. And no I don't want to edit my build prop.
I don't have this issue on the LG g3 or my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5.
Is this ever going to be resolved and who the hell do you have to contact about this?
I'm not looking for 1440p.. But 1080 would be nice. There is a huge difference between 720p and 1080p imo. If you think otherwise you need an eye exam[emoji1]

You contact nobody.
There's absolutely nothing you can do unless you modify the build prop at this point.
You think we want to modify the build prop to get what should be official/stock? The answer is no, we don't.
But if you want YouTube to run 1440p, this is what you must do. No other way around it unless they update YouTube through the store for our device's support.
I've used this way here, and it worked for me.
If you know how to use xposed framework, you can do this...

BAD ASS NOTE 4
Why... because Note is Google Nexus' most formidable competitor... that and because they can. I would send a letter to youtube, directing your question towards them. I'd be interested to hear how they respond. In second thought, maybe we should all write them letters.

True... Limiting to 1080p kinda sucks but 720p is a slap in the face
you could always call them; I doubt they will care though.

I sent an email.. I'm sure it will be disregarded
believe it or not, they actually answer that phone number, and will respond some way...
Sent an e-mail a month ago. No response. Maybe I will call too. I wholly agree that there should not be hoop jumping for native 1440 or even 1080. Ridiculous!
I agree with you but when the Nexus went 2k, i knew that it only meant that we would get it in time. Its just googles way of saying they are in control and they say when users get that option. For what its worth, even on 1080, you tube stops 1/4 of the way and stops loading for a while. Ive always hated this about youtube and has forced me to go Vevo for music videos.
For me, bandwidth on AT&T here in Honolulu sucks so bad that streaming YouTube above 720p is impossible (in fact I frequently see buffering at 720p in some areas of town) so I really could care less BUT I do think that those of you who have better bandwidth or want to use the device to its fullest potential on WiFi should have the option. If I'm on WiFi chances are I have my Note Pro or Macbook Pro with me so I'll reach for those devices instead and watch at 1080p or higher.
Wasn't long ago that HD quality video was new to YouTube so surely in time things will continue to improve.

I don't know you guys but I fixed it for my friends' Note 4 and LG G3, also for my Galaxy Tab S and my S5 and all of them had the issue for the last month and the instructions once worked stopped working about 1 month ago.
Follow the instructions on this link and it should work.
Forget about the Root part (Steps 2 & 3), I did it skipping all the root related stuff, and it has worked on ALL the devices that I've been trying for the past month and hadn't worked. All of them now have the 1440p option except the S5 that it gets up to 1080p.
The only one so far that didn't work was a Sony Xperia Z3, but I just sold it yesterday anyway.

Really? I don't know what to tell you, like I mentioned before, it worked for all the Samsung devices I tried plus the LG G3.
Only thing I forgot to mention was that after step 4, where it tells you to go to Play Store to update, before going to the store I opened YouTube first and entered the credentials then I went to the store and followed the rest of the instructions exactly as they appear.
Try it again and see if that helps.
Just an update.
Today I read that there was a new Youtube version, the one that finally has Material Design, so I went ahead and downloaded from here , installed it and I still have the 1440p option in my Galaxy Tab S and 1080p in my Galaxy S5. I'm waiting for my Note 4 to arrive today, first think I will do after setting it up is to do this procedure, if it works I'll let you all know, but I don't doubt it will work as I did the same to my friend's T-Mobile Note 4 and it worked as the first try as I have mentioned already.

Well, those steps worked fine on my tab s 10.5.
Rooted running cm11 latest gapps.
Awesome. Super easy fix. Did it today. Just change build prop android version to 5.0 and then Uninstalled the youtube app. Then installed youtube version 6.0 (material themed) and BAM. 1440p option is there. I'm rooted on Dynamic Cat 3.0

I don't think Netflix has ever allowed us select download location for their contents on any platform.
The Mi Pad 4 does not support Widevine L1.
I'm happy watching Netflix on my Mi Pad 4. Widevine L3 is not disappointing & is good enough for me. It's not like watching 480 & below.

Yes, I have just found out no HD, shame. Netflix does now allow you to select storage location but does seem to be limited, I have it on my Samsung Note 8, running Android 8.0. Very handy if you don't have much external memory available.
Mi Pad 4 still looks a good tablet, I shall keep an eye on prices.
Thanks for your help.

I have a very strange situation right now.
I bought the Mi Pad 4 Plus last year, haven't switched to global rom yet, still the original rom. At first is just MIUI 9 and installed google service through some other app store, and everything is fine. I can use Netflix, download, offline.
Even one day I noticed the system updated to MIUI 10 automatically, I think it still works fine. One day I have to do a hard reset then reinstall all the apps. Then this time Netflix won't start. It tells me it's not supported, but it never happened before.
I wonder if that's something special in my case or it's happening to everyone on MIUI 10?

found a working version from another post.
I've just received my brand new mipad4+.
Installed twrp and miui.eu. 9.4.18 but Netflix does not work.
If I look for it on the play store, I cannot find it. If I install the apk from an other store the app says that it is not compatible with my device [emoji53]
Any idea?

Hi where did you find the working apk?
Install Pixelexperience, Netflix is available right from google store and has ability to downlowad movies, what was a problem with older apk.
Streaming HD Netflix with Pixelexperience?
Not HD, that is impossible without widevine.
I think with a modded version of netflix app it will be fine. Used for 2 years now.
not HD I think
