Thats weird... I get the choice to go to 1080p both on 4g and on wifi. App version 5.14.5

 

[mkim055]

Same version. This is whacked…. So much for 1440p streaming on note 4…
I wonder quality is region locked.

Yeah maybe. I've yet to see anything above 1080p on my mobile though. Never really looked for it, since my note 3 can't do higher anyways (note 4 being reviewed as DOA atm).

DOA?

DOA = Dead On Arrival.

Why dead on arrival?

It shut off at a random point while using it, and on boot merely vibrated with a 2 second interval until battery pull. Display worked as I could get it to download mode, but refused to boot.

This sucks. . I tried reinstalling older versions and rebooting and 720p crap still.. even tubemate won't download 4k anymore. . Seems like Google is limiting

This really is incredibly annoying. I only get 720p and have tried everything. 99% sureure it's server sided. I only got my phone 5 days agoday and have never seen 1080p on it. Good damn Google.

Desktop YT on browser has 1080p.

Desktop YT on browser has 1080p.

Unfortunately, most videos are disabled for mobile when you switch to desktop view.

I've had 1080 consistently for.few weeks now.
but nothing higher

Narek: how could it be if I'm getting 1080 all the time?

Well there are a lot of factors that could be the cause. It could be the country/region, my account, when I bought the phone, which model I have etc. But one thing is sure. It does not work and I hate Google because of it. Non of the tutorials fixed it either. So for me it is server side problem as I have also completely removed YouTube with Titanium backup.

 

[Slai]

Damn shame.

 

[Narekrocks]

Damn shame.

I just hope they get their s### together and fix as there are more people who have this problem not just. Sad thing is there is no good alternative app. Like on my iPad I use MCTube and is very good.

Tried to mod latest Youtube APK named 5.17.6 Google have made it all impossible to change something all methodnames and classnames are random alphabetical marks and file directory itself is a real mess, no potential by finding somethid through folders, ad removal also hardened through a method, after hours of searching I finally found line which was getting phone's capability to stream higher resolutions than 720p or not, but after a change of it's code verify error popped up because of other method checking the value change, thanks Google...
But for older Apps with normal structure I could enable screenoff, up to 4k streaming and adless.

I've resorted to using the desktop version if I want 1440p, but for most videos 720p is fine for me. I'm sure as more YouTube channels start using QHD and 4K google will let us increase the resolution in the app
