Hi all, when i first got my diamond, it played youtube clips via HSDPA internet without any problems. Since i've installed newer roms, youtube does not play clips anymore. The only way to get it to work is activate Wifi, and play it through wifi internet. With HSDPA internet, i can download lists and search for clips in the youtube application, but as soon as i try to start the clip, it errors after a while saying the clip cannot be played. Im using the newest official dutch rom 2.03.404.2NLD with Vodafone. A friend of mine, who has the same phone and rom, has the same problem. I've tried installing different versions of the youtube application, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Does anyone else have this problem?
Does your ROM have the Adobe Flash player?
Yep, i've installed several flash lite versions, no luck... Strange thing is, every once in a while it will load the movie, so it seems like some movies will actually load. Still, when I turn on Wifi, it'll allways loads the clips... BTW, i have full clearance, so it isn't like im not getting enough 3G signal...
Got the same problem.
I'm using a rooted Samsung I5700 (spica) and youtube fails to play videos over HSDPA. - It loads thumbnails and all the other bits and parts.
Wifi works. 2G works. And 3G works if I disable HSDPA.
So what is wrong?
I've got a Tmobile Note 4 running Lollipop (updated OTA yesterday). I use a Samsung Wireless Dongle and Screen Mirroring to watch some shows. I noticed yesterday that video playback has become extremely choppy since the Lollipop update. Anyone else experiencing this issue? I double checked my network settings and everything is working smoothly. Video playback on the Note 4 itself is just fine. Just choppy on my TV screen when Screen Mirroring through the Wireless Dongle. Any ideas about how to address this would be much appreciated. I am rooted, running stock TouchWiz Lollipop ROM, if that matters.
Try without the dongle? It does work wireless if you have a smart tv
I have the dongle because I don't have a Wi-Fi Direct/Screen Mirroring capable television. I did dig around in Application Manager and found Wi-Fi Direct Share, and I've cleared the cache and data for it. I'll try it out this evening to see if that will get it working smoothly again.
Should note that on KitKat, the Dongle worked just fine. It is a Samsung brand wireless dongle.
There is no data nor cache to clear on Screen Mirroring app itself nor on the Wi-Fi Direct app. So crossing my fingers this Wi-Fi Direct Share has something to do with it.
I have the same samsung wireless dongle but since I updated to 5.0 i havent had the chance to stream, ill give input in a few when i get home. Also i had a lot of freezing while watching movies on 4.4 not sure if you ever experienced that, it was very annoying. Also I'm stock.
Still not resolved
Wireless dongle playback is still choppy as described in OP. Interested to here from others. A better description might by jerky... Audio is just fine. Might dig around in the build.prop file later. Otherwise, any feedback from others experiencing this issue or others who might have an idea for troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.
Try booting up in recovery and wiping cashe partition that seems to fix a lot of strange problems for me.
No such luck, mate. Thanks for the suggestion, though. It's bareable as is right now, but it does bug the **** out of me. Haha. I'm just wondering if anyone else out there is experiencing this. I'm thinking of borrowing a Chromecast off someone to see if it has the same issue. I mean, the video in every app is smooth as butter on my phone screen, but the TV is jerky ever so slightly via the Samsung Dongle. I know it's not just me because my wife who typically cares less about tech noticed it.
Leave it to good ol Sammy. Sort of like that BS way they built screen mirroring to break on rooted devices using third party (read:non Samsung dongle) back on the Note 3. Anyone have an idea of something I could try to edit in the build.prop file? Any other ideas? I found an app on the Play Store that's meant to fix Screen Mirroring issues after an update, but when loaded it doesn't give me the option to run it, apparently it thinks I am already patched. Oh. And Samsung was the manufacturer of that app, go figure. So apparently this has happened in in the past?
If all else fails, I may just try a fresh install. I'm trying to wait for the latest version of TWRP because I heard some folks have had no luck flashing ROMs through TWRP after upgrading to Lollipop OTA and then rooting (which is what I did; I never rooted on KitKat because I wanted to keep my 1 yr Sammy Warranty intact, just in case). I know tripping Knox apparently doesn't affect the Tmobile insurance, but I've read varying stories on whether it affects your Sammy factory warranty.
Well. I'm off off to play some AC Unity on the PS4. I'll check back later. Happy trails
I am experiencing the same issue ever since I updated to lollipop. Video mirroring to my Samsung smart TV very choppy.
Nobody has any possible solutions for this? Please give it a shot if you have any ideas whatsoever. Now we have two confirmed reports.
Quick update. Hard reset and even unroooting the device didn't resolve the issue. Definitely something baked into to the latest TMO stock ROM
I've even had the screen freeze on the chromecast when mirroring but audio still plays
@knarfies I used to get a similar issue with Netflix but Lollipop resolved it. So can you connect with Chrome cast, but it freezes occasionally? How often is it happening? The Samsung Dongle works without freezing audio or video but is jerky enough for me and the wife to notice. Wasn't like that on KitKat.
I'm running stock and im using the samsung dongle and the video actually plays smoother on 5.0, when I was on 4.4 it use to freeze all the time I'm not sure why is not playing gird for you guys, plus whatever I was on 4.4 the video playback in general would freez during playback even when I was not screen mirring.
I am currently rooted with a custom kernel and stock ROM, but even before the mods, it was no longer working correctly. Samsung has an app on the Play Store to patch problems with Screen Mirroring after a software upgrade, but when I downloaded it, it said I was already patched. Even after a hard reset and completely non rooted stock everything it hasn't worked perfectly like it did on KitKat since Lollipop.

Thats strange because its the complete opposite for me.
Hi guys,
I've got this new device four days ago, and experienced this WiFi issue:
Connection was very slow, and sometimes freezed. I've seen this happening while i was upgrading from 5.0 To 5.1, then experienced the same issue after the upgrade.
I've tested 3 different routers, made a speedtest every time and tried Play Store downloads and Youtube HD videos. Did a facotry reset twice, too.
Is it possibile that the hardware is malfunctioning?
Thanks and kind rewards,
Francesco.
Hi,
I'm facing this problem since 1-2 months which is really annoying:
I dont get Hangout, Instagram, Gmail, Whatsapp.. Notifications/Updates when I'm connected at my home WLAN. It's working everywhere else fine. I "forgot" the network on my Nexus 6 (5.1.1), resetted my modem from my ISP AND also bought and installed a new WLAN Router (Airport Extreme). Nothing helped.
My chromecast also stopped working and I cant connect it - also working fine at other locations/networks!
Does anybody know this problem and how to fix it? Would be awesome <3
Cheers
It really does sound like the router, but seems odd that the issue persists after replacing it.
So I've been having this issue for a few weeks now, that netflix doesn't load videos anymore. I can browse with no issues and can stream other vod apps no problem it's just netflix. I've tried rebooting, reseting changing roms (of which could not find a good and stable one ) anyone else having this issue? My coworker has a 6 edge and has no issue and it works fine on my note 3
