Better Youtube app than stock one?

I hate the stock Youtube app for one reason: If you pause a video and then leave the Youtube app (such as to reply to a text message, to answer a call, or even if you just press the Home button and then return to the Youtube app later - WITHOUT CLOSING IT) it resets the video you were watching back to 0:00. This is extremely annoying because I like to watch longer videos on my phone that I couldn't possibly watch in one sitting, so I have to remember or write down the time at which I paused it so I know where to start it at later.
So I'm wondering if anyone has created a better app for watching Youtube videos?
Have you tried the browser version? I multitask with it and return to the time at which is left =D

Forcing youtube app to play 720p

It looks like the HQ mode in youtube app is actually 480p.
Anybody knows of a way to coerce youtube app to play 720p in HQ mode?
Before trolls start yelling that 720p on 800x480 will not look different than 480p, let me tell you - IT DOES, BIG TIME. Huge difference. Easiest way to watch youtube in 720p right now is to use "jetvd" app, but it's not as well designed as youtube. Hence the question.

''Sorry...currently no option to play HD by default and there never has been. The "playback settings" in your account settings currently only pertain to either 360p or 480p videos.''
There is a whole thread about it here.
Yep, but that thread didn't go anywhere.
I'm just wondering since jetvd is able to pull videos in 720p, perhaps there's a way to hack youtube app to pull in that quality as well.
Although jetvd uses the stock video player app to play them.. maybe youtube app doesn't have capability for anything above 480p..
ohh nice. i never used that app. just played some youtube videos over the mhl adapter.. very nice! i dont see anything wrong with the jetvd myself.
Why can't I see the jetvd pro version? They took it out off the market? ?

Go to www.jetvd.com on your phone. Click the Download button at the bottom of the screen. Then click the red Download button at the bottom of that screen to download JetVD Plus! The dev is giving it away free now, apparently.
Yes is a huge diference between youtube quality and jetdv 720p
Thanks im download from your link

jetVD is awesome, but it's not perfect.
In youtube app you can see your subscriptions, your channel, the design is nicer.. you can watch video and see comments at the same time, plus post them.
JetVD is only for watching in HD really. And search isn't as nice - there are no "related" videos, etc.
In a perfect world, there would be a hack for youtube app to play 720p. That'd be an end-all solution.
works good for now thanks for the tip!!!

well you can use the stock web browser and type about:useragent into the adress bar setting the user agent to desktop and then access the full site. and i just downloaded jet vd and it has related videos. i dont care much for that other stuff though.

What's the best YouTube downloading app?

I really liked JetVD but it was freezing up my Evo 3D while downloading any YouTube files (the notification bar specifically) and I'm currently using TubeMate.
Are there any others I'm missing?

Yea, that's what I'm using right now.
TubeMate works perfectly for me, but if you insist, there are many other downloading out there in the Market.
But take a look at this, its a modified youtube with download capabilities. Someone add the download button in share video. (I do not own this app, credit goes to the dev I don't know who) uploaded.to/file/7yz54fcy

Did you update to flash video 10.3? because if you did the update is busted and gives horrendous problems on the G2X.
This is also true with the youtube update, so don't update to the new versions...

[Q] supertube for android?

I came from Windows phone mango. And they had a great app that allowed HD video not HQ. Is there a similar app on the android market?
are you talking about shooting video or watching hd? cause the sensation does both stock no need for an app
Watching YouTube videos in HD.
I think HQ is the same as HD
Go into the YouTube app
Click on menu button
Select settings
Then first option should be watch HQ videos on mobile or something similar, this will display the highest available quality

bummer, i somehow read supertube as studierstube, which is something completely different (and more like an api then an app)
Keepvid works wonders for watching YouTube in actual 720p or 1080p if available (however you'd never notice any difference between the two on the screen, you'd just notice a bigger WiFi/net usage). It's no longer on the market probably cause it let's you download the videos aswell as stream, so the good old phrase 'google is your friend' comes to mind. App name is "keepvid"
