How to remove lag when streaming videos

[pistol44]

Ok it's getting pretty annoying to the point I have to ask.. Is there a little trick or something I don't know about to stop the horrible lag and stuttering when streaming videos like from YouTube or whatnot?

I'm on wi-fi, download speeds arent the issue and I can see the video buffering way ahead so I know it's not an issue with it freezing because it needs to buffer. No matter what while it's playing it stutters and freezes like nuts no matter where I stream video from. It's actually a little embarrassing when I'm trying to show someone a video and it freezes every few seconds.

I know about disabling SRS from the sound options to stop lag in games so I thought there might be a similar fix.

Tell me about it. It is in my case so bad that it after loading for a bit just stops loading and doesn't do anything and basically YouTube is just incapable to play anything. Sometimes low quality works but that's more a gamble as well. But everything else works perfectly streaming like VEVO or so no lag nothing. Its only YouTube. It started for me excatly 3 days ago that it stopped working. Before YouTube worked great. I sadly have no fix for it either. I know it is darn annoying thought.

Same thing here - since i got the phone. Had a samsung focus for the last year and never had it stutter even once when playing youtube

Mine is the AT&T titan - what about your guys?

could be a problem with the AT&T rom maybe?

Update i just hard reset titan thinking it may be apps - no fix - still freezing. So incase you were thinking about trying that - dont bother :S

No issue here with my AT&T Titan, though I opted in to the YouTube HTML5 program for videos in the browser and use SuperTube otherwise. Don't even have the YouTube app installed.

jeremyshaw how did you get your ATT Titan to update to 8107? I have tried a ton of different times all giving me the dreaded error message 80070013 no matter what I do I keep getting that error message.

Updated mine to 8107 as well and it seems like html5 youtube video's layback properly - still getting hickups in the metrotube app and other website players though they do seem like their slightly less frequent - though that may just be a placebo

some people are saying it may be a hardware probem or bad flash from the factory?
anyone swap their titans under warranty because of this and find the new one any better?

Here's the link if you want to update to Mango 8107

At least it fixes the keyboard dispearing issue
- Make sure when your push the files you make a backup at the same time - just incase

I got a Clean install on my titan, so shouldn.t be an AT&T problem

on my phone, it stutters, but only if the video hasnt buffered all the way. Once it's 100% buffered, no issue

this is the kind of thing were having problems with, I had a Samsung focus with a 1ghz processor for the last year and I never had any videos hang like they do on the titan - buffering or not

Also on mine it was at the point where videos made with the built in camera were freezing and hanging as well
