Trouble with YouTube

[teookie]

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.

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.

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.
