Hey guys, I'm on stock rom (non-rooted, bootloader unlocked)
Youtube videos looks pixelated even in the so called 'HD' quality.
But regular offline video playback is great..
Hell, my micromax funbook P300 (7 inch, 133 ppi) displays youtube videos better than my XL.
Any solutions for this?
Yes I have exactly the same problem. I can confirm this is not a bug with the you tube app, this is a bug of our XL because in my Asus MeMoPad there is no pixelation at all while you tube app version is same.
Yes, me too :/
try this app

The problem is in the youtube app itself, uninstall updates and see, no pixels
The problem only appear in some device due to weird reasons

Thanks man
1st of all i must say sorry if there is another post about this but, is there a way to improve youtube video quality on our XL?????
the best quality im getting on youtube is 360p... our phone can play 720p videos without problems or lags but youtube only gets up to 360p
my phone is full stock device and bootloader is locked
you need to have root access
2 ways to improve quality:
1- With a modded youtube app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529715
cons: old version of youtube
pro: have many extra options like playing in background etc etc
2 - fake resolution: you can use xposed with "app settings" ,module to set the youtube app working with a higher resolution with lower dpi, this will enable 720p in the app

Hello,
I think I found a strange bug on my nexus 5. I just recently installed the xposed framework and now inside the youtube app I can not use the 1080p option anymore. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a solution to this?
Thank you very much!
Occasionally it even works but only for one video and the next video then only has the 720p mode option.
(All the videos that I have tested are HD videos that I know and which do normally have a 1080p option)
Anyone else has this problem?I have only the 144,244 and 360 option not even 480,my signal is great when I use it but still not 720p option,I have an htc sensation

Hey I wanna know that Sony's doing the same thing like they did with Z5 Premium?
Like this is 1080p by default but only when you open in gallery and maybe amazon prime video app triggers the 4K?
I remember Erika Griffin mentioned that you can change the resolution but another YouTuber said it's 1080p by default.
Erica's video (Watch at 3m4s)
Mathew's video (Watch at 2m17s)
I think you can toggle it manually, pretty sure I've understood that and it only makes sense.
Not that you should want it to run in 4k all day but for vr or something and actual 4k content.

i want 4k in games ! is it not possible to render games in higher resulution ?
My understanding that the default to 1080P is a Android N default to save battery life, you can set it to 4K under display in system settings

You can change the resolution in the settings menu and if you choose 4K, all the contents will be shown in 4K, same thing with 1080P and 2K.

Are you sure? I am waiting someone to confirm it. Someone who had the phone and used it.

Well I'm sure at 100% but if you want to wait soneone that have the phone, you must wait until June
Sadly
"Fingerprint recognition not available in the US
Defaults to FullHD screen resolution for anything other than native 4K content
Battery capacity is not stellar"

Are you sure these guys even checked? Kinda sucks if it doesn't. I mean its something that really isn't needed. I owned the z5 premium and had it emulate 4k all the time with a kernel and then in the end just went back to stock but it its also something reviewers would target as an issue
I hope there will be simple hack to enable such a feature. This will be needed for example when you want to watch VR video with cardboard using custom app, even if content will be 4k by default app will not enable it.
Yea you can enable it to 2K 4K with abd. I just wanted to see if Sony had implemented to change the display res under the settings, Guess they did NOT.
Youtube now supports 4K resolution for the XZ Premium. That's what i like most!

Yea bro I saw this too awesome
I got another video confirming that youtube supports 4K option, which is nice.
No.
Nothing in Displaysettings - to switch the Resolution to 4k
Bad
Galaxy S8 has a switch Option between 1080 and 2k .......

You can try this method when you get the phone.
Plus I saw it in a video that Sony mentioned that they may include an option to change the resolution in future update. I think they should but I would just use it in 2K once I get the device.
yes i knew this adb trick from the old sony xperia 4k Handy, i make it so bevor i sell it, but this was not a good option, the apps/players for the VR 360 movies working bad, to small on the Display........you would not happy with this Settings
then Sony make a new 4K Handy, and what? Same fuc....k
4K only works in Sony Photo App and Sony Videoplayer........but this can not play 360 or 180 Videos corretly with motion, only still.
Techradar says:
"You won’t find a sharper screen on another smartphone, and unlike its 4K-toting predecessor you actually get the full resolution all the time. The Z5 Premium would only deliver the full 4K experience when you were watching video of the same resolution, whereas on the new Xperia XZ Premium it’s 3840 x 2160 all the way – from the home screen and browser to the app store and your social media profiles."
I think it is a mistake from Techradar, but what do you think, can it be true?

You won't get higher resolution graphics in any game by changing the resolution to 4k. All you will do is zoom out really far making things really hard to see and the ui will be tiny. It would only be worth it in games that use proper scaling and there aren't many aaa games on Android that might do it. Buy a 4k phone for videos and photos. Don't expect people to quadruple their graphics production workload for such a niche gaming market.

if you check mods section of the XZ Premium forum, you will find a ''trick'' (by ADB) to change the resolution to native 4K, with this method everything will be displayed in native 4K resolution (really appreciate this mod), hope I helped !
