I gotta back and check out the YT on that phone now. 5.5" screen, gorgeous, very bright, very high def IPS LED screen, but alas no S-Pen, and battery life not nearly as good as the Note 2.
#VMEYE NOT WORKING PRO#
I had truly wanted the Note 2 due to the S-pen (and the 5.5" screen), but I think I might end up getting the LG Optimus G Pro now. I've now decided that an AMOLED screen is not for me. Maybe so, but why wouldn't their iPhone have the same issues as their Note 2 since both were on the same router?Īs another asides.the Note 2's screen at Verizon was just as disappointing as the one at AT&T. I did raise the question to a saleslady at Verizon about the YT issues I was seeing, and she said that was typical because all of the phones in the store are sharing the same network.

So, that 's 3 Android phones (1 EVO and 2 Note 2's) that cannot seem to play YT videos without buffering multiple times. The Note 2 had issues while the iPhone had none. I tried the same test, but with the the Note 2, and the iPhone 5 nearby. The iPhone played the video without issue.
The Note 2 started playing a few seconds sooner than the iPhone, but within a few seconds, the Note 2 started buffering, starting and stopping throughout, and just before the end of the video, it crashed to a black screen (maybe the demo phone turned off, but I don't know). I queued up the same video on both phones and let them play. While over at Verizon, I tried my 3GS connected to AT&T's cellular network versus Verizon's Note 2 on the store's WiFi network on YouTube. So, thinking that maybe the Note 2's screen was maybe defective or lost some of its pizazz over its life as a demo phone, I headed off to Verizon across the street, just to see if their Note 2 would have a brighter screen than the one over at AT&T. Maxed out brightness and with the color temp set to the brightest white, it's still no match for the brightness and sharpness of my old iPhone. My phone ran fine while the Note 2 kept buffering and stuttering.Īs an asides, after playing with the Note 2 I can't get past the dull, bluish, very little white AMOLED screen. At the same time I queued up the same video on my iPhone, also connected to the store's WiFi network. So, while lusting over a Galaxy Note 2 at AT&T the other day, I tried YT on the Note 2 which was on their WiFi network in their store.
#VMEYE NOT WORKING FULL#
Glad I found this thread! I've been looking at switching over to Android from iOS, and was wondering if there was some issue with YouTube on Android.Ī coworker's HTC Evo 4G (on Sprint, with full signal bars) was always buffering or not connecting properly while at work, while my iPhone 3GS (from 2009) had no issues on YouTube and AT&T (or while both were on the same WiFi network). I've tried some of the fixes like clearing YouTube's data and cache and restarting, but it did not fix it.Īnyone have any ideas? I don't have Netflix or Hulu, I do have Amazon Prime with Instant Video but there's no app for it, so really YouTube is the only place I want to go to watch videos, and it makes me mental when it does this buffering crap. Sometimes switching from the HD version to the lower quality version helps if the video has the option, sometimes it doesn't help at all.įrom searching around the internet it seems lots of other people have this same problem. It does it at work too, and we have a 100Mb connection there. It is absolutely maddening, especially when I'm on a 20Mb connection and have zero issues playing YouTube videos on any computer. Whenever I try and watch videos in the YouTube app, they will stop and buffer from what ranges to about every 20-30 seconds, to every 5 seconds.
I have had this problem since the beginning, and was hoping upgrading to JDQ39 would fix it, but it didn't.
