you have to uninstall the program all together (might need root) using some sort of 3rd party app. I used clean master to uninstall complete and installed the APK posted. Works great.
[Verizon LG G3] bpyazel:
Anyone know of a way to force it to default to that quality on every video available? Having to select the quality on every video gets old.

Obviously, people are having mixed results. Edited OP with Root instructions that work every time. For me, uninstalling updates worked.
[Verizon LG G3] PiousInquisitor:
I have root (obviously from the screenies I posted) and have deleted the stock YouTube app and installed the one you posted. Still don't have any resolution greater than 720. Not sure what the problem is.
[Verizon LG G3] spotmark:
Same here. Deleted the original with Root Explorer, and installed the new one. No dice.
[Verizon LG G3] transfo47:
Updated with Surefire instructions from the post I posted in the General G3 section.

[Verizon LG G3] bostonbassman78:
Do u have to be rooted for this ?
[Verizon LG G3] transfo47:
No.
[Verizon LG G3] bostonbassman78:
Well I've tried every way in the op and nothing at all is working I'm,rooted and unlocked
[Verizon LG G3] spotmark:
Hasn't worked for me at all, either.
[Verizon LG G3] transfo47:
Odd. Seems to work for some and not the others. Perhaps the troubleshooting in the G3 General section (same title and OP) will be beneficial to you.
[Verizon LG G3] bostonbassman78:
I'll check it out when I get home
[Verizon LG G3] droidrev71:
Worked for me.. thank you
[Verizon LG G3] transfo47:
Glad I could help!

Prior to being shown this thread i had the correct apk but just didn't do things in the correct order. It's nice to have 1440p back.
[Verizon LG G3] Chilidog:
Thanks a lot guys, first option worked for me! Does anyone have any idea how to force the highest resolution playback every time?
[Verizon LG G3] bostonbassman78:
Well I tried this again and it ended up working this time around option 5 is what got it this time around

So this means that the vanilla Android ROMs can be more stable than they currently are with camera running without issues?
[Xperia Z1 General] hiepgia:
Camera and modem disabled. Don't sure camera issue will get fix.:rolleyes:

Ah! What a bunch of mofos. The main things still dont get fixed then. Whats the point of releasing something that is already available?
[Xperia Z1 General] kingstonkhan:
From what I can gather from the post on the Sony Mobile Developers blog, some things, such as the camera and modem, aren't working yet and will be fixed. IIRC the situation was similar to the AOSP announcement for the Xperia Z.

I'm really looking forward to this, just being able to run stock Android on my Z1. I may finally give it a go at building an image from scratch if I can get myself a build machine setup. :)

YouTube version 5.18 puts back 1080p and 1440p for all.

(Thanks very much to [MENTION=3823308]jruasap[/MENTION], he's the one who uploaded the APK!)

Instructions:

1. Settings>Application Manager> YouTube> Uninstall Updates

2. Install https://www.dropbox.com/s/k1z2y730k9cmqdo/youtube-5.9.0.10.apk

(make sure allow installation from unknown sources is checked in Security)

3. Uncheck Auto-Update on YouTube's Play Store Page.

4. BEFORE OPENING clear YT's data in the Application Manager.

4. Enjoy and hit "THANKS" if I helped!

INSTRUCTIONS FROM THIS POINT ARE COURTESY OF [MENTION=2704237]Syntax323[/MENTION]

If you have the option for 1080 and 1440p, it does work! Just because it doesn't switch instantly does not mean it doesn't work.

Youtube changed, they don't switch instantly anymore. It buffers in the background, and while watching it will switch automatically.

Though, that is ONLY if your connection is fast enough. Just because you're on 5ghz, doesn't mean your download speed is fast. That is just a faster radio frequency your router is putting out.

You have to realize you're trying to stream 1080 and 1440p which is very high detail, meaning the file sizes are huge. So, if your download speed isn't fast enough to download it/buffer while watching than it isn't going to switch.

This is a little 'trick' I do to 'force' it to go I to 1080/1440p whenever I want.

"Forcing" LG G3 into 1440p:

http://youtu.be/e9aIf7Uq378

Given, my download speed is 25-35mbps.

Do a speed test, and post. You're results. If you're only getting like 8-10 chances are it isn't gonna buffer 1440p. Wont be able to catch up.

Okay, here is 2nd Solution if my first post didn't work for you. Only do this if my steps did NOT work for you.

Move on to step 5 ONLY if 1080p/1440p are still not showing for you.

5. Only do the following steps if the above does not work for you still.

6. Download YouTube 5.9.0.13.apk from here -> https://www.dropbox.com/s/qh23f5yaajv5dlh/com.google.android.youtube-5.9.0.13.apk?dl=0

7. Now unlike the above DO NOT uninstall updates.

8. Once finished downloading, go ahead and open it and install it, again do NOT uninstall prior versions/updates of youtube.

9. Once installed, like above do NOT open.

10. Go to settings -> Apps -> All -> YouTube -> clear data

11. Open YouTube, find 4k video (GoPro has some particularly dazzling videos) You should now have 1080p/1440p again.

12. Enjoy and hit "THANKS" if I helped, and thank [MENTION=2704237]Syntax323[/MENTION]!
[G3 General] Mahapederdon:
Didn't work. Not sure why. I uninstalled and installed the download. Nothing changed. Still 720p max on a known 1440p video
[G3 General] transfo47:
Odd. Works for me.
[G3 General] Mahapederdon:
Add a link to the video your playing. Maybe the videos I'm watching got reduced in quality on YouTube all together.

[Ultra HD] MAD MAX Trailer (1440p): http://youtu.be/4n9LuihMt-Q
[G3 General] Rodeojones:
Also didn't work for me. 720p is the highest resolution I can choose.
[G3 General] Syntax323:
Hey, for everyone its not working for.

Follow steps, it will work.

1. Uninstall updates

2. Install APK in link from the OP

3. Don't auto update....dur

4. BEFORE opening the app, go into settings -> Appear -> All -> YouTube -> Clear cache -> Clear Data

For some reason clearing cache and data after installing the 5.9.0.10 and before running it fixes it. I had same problem and everything I did wouldn't work. Even clearing cache and data after I ran it didn't work. Have to install it, than clear, than run it and you will have 1440p back.
[G3 General] dictionary:
Even that didn't work for me [MENTION=2704237]Syntax323[/MENTION]
[G3 General] Syntax323:
Really? That's odd! Let me do some digging. Post back shortly.
[G3 General] Rodeojones:
Well, this only sort of worked. I was able to get 1080p and 1440p options to appear, but choosing them does nothing. The videos, even those with 1440p in the description, still play at 480p or 720p. It's like YouTube is going out of its way to keep the UHD videos from being played.
[G3 General] Syntax323:
No, that's good! It works, trust me!

What its doing is trying to load it. 1 video in 1440p is very large. Your download speed on internet had to be fast to be able to play it. Even 1080p. So even when you click it, its going to go to the closest resolution to play so you can continue to watch while its loading the resolution you selected.

When you load a video, select 1440p, than drag the little thing to the beginning of the video so it starts from beginning.

Trust me, 1080p and 1440p are working for you, they are just buffering in background.

Or, after you select it, it will switch to it automatically when it buffers enough. Just have to have fast speeds on wifi or lte.

That's good. So it worked for you.

You better have unlimited data if you try using LTE. The videos are MASSIVE.
[G3 General] Rodeojones:
I disagree with you. It's not working. In the past, when I've chosen a higher resolution video, YouTube immediately paused for a second or two while it buffered. It's not doing that. When I click on 1080p or 1440p the video just keeps playing. Also, if I go back to the settings to choose the resolution again it shows that I have 480p or 720p playing, not the high resolution I wanted and clicked on previously.. Furthermore, there is no visible change in resolution, something that I was able to see in the past. I truly believe YouTube has simply disabled the ability to watch videos above 720p - at least via mobile devices.
[G3 General] Syntax323:
Okay, here is 2nd Solution if my first post didn't work for you. Only do this if my steps did NOT work for you.

1. Uninstall updates

2. Install 5.9.0.10.apk from OP's post

3. BEFORE opening the app, go into settings -> Appear -> All -> YouTube -> Clear data

4. Now, run YouTube , or click this link for a 1440p video and check yo see if 1080p/1440p are show.

Move on to step 5 ONLY if 1080p/1440p are still not showing for you.

6. Download YouTube 5.9.0.13.apk from here -> https://www.dropbox.com/s/qh23f5yaajv5dlh/com.google.android.youtube-5.9.0.13.apk?dl=0

It had to be pretty high to play.

You want me to take a video of me showing you what I mean, and how I play 1440p on my g3? Cause it does work. Its worked for 10-15 others I've helped as-well.

All of them said same thing as you, but it doesn't switch instantly anymore. It does what Netflix does now. You know, when you see the quality changing... when its pixelated than it gets hd without even pausing...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.zwanoo.android.speedtest

If your download speed is not that fast, you'll never get it to play. Its just the way it is now. I'm getting 35mbps down so it plays without a hitch for me.
[G3 General] Syntax323:
Here is a screenshot I just now took playing in 1440p the Gopro video I posted above.

Mine seems to switch to 1080p/1440p easier in landscape than it does in portrait for some reason though.

Also, if YouTube disabled it, you wouldn't be getting the 1080p/1440p option at all.

Its not like we are doing a hack, or modified apk. There is nothing crazy going on here, its not a glitch. Its straight from there own app .

Plus, 1440p still works on pc, and other phones np. I'm guessing it was a bug that is happening here.

They wouldn't disable it for the LG G3, when LG has been a partner with Google making the Nexus' and main selling point of this phone is it's screen.

So, its not disabled. Just has a hard time playing if not on a fast/stable connection.
[G3 General] Rodeojones:
You must be the lucky one. And I appreciate your effort. But it just won't work. I have 1080p and 1440p as options, but clicking on them doesn't change to that resolution. It stays at the original lower resolution. Honestly, though, it's not a big deal for me. I don't watch YouTube videos all that often and watching at the highest resolution isn't a priority for me.
[G3 General] Syntax323:
You're not reading my posts.

It isn't going to switch right away dude. It will take awhile, and its a huge pain in the ass. You have to select it, than start video over from beginning.

Do a speed test, and tell me what your download speed is.

Like I said, you have to have very fast download.

I promise you, on my life, it does work for you. If you have the options it does work.

Keep your eyes on this thread, ill post a video of me doing it on my phone so you can see what I'm talking about, and how it get it going.
[G3 General] dictionary:
I'm showing the options .. but no matter what I select, it stays on 720p. It LOOKS 1440, but the actual selector stays on 720. Even when I select 144, it plays it super high resolution. I give up lol. It's probably just playing 1440 and I don't know it. [MENTION=2704237]Syntax323[/MENTION]
[G3 General] Syntax323:
It wont switch right away. When it is in 1440p you'll know it. Its stunning.

I'm taking a video of me doing it now, ill post it for you so you can see how I get it going. Than you'll understand what I mean.
[G3 General] dictionary:
Looks 1440 to me, but the option is stuck on 720. Very odd
[G3 General] Syntax323:
If you think it looks 1440p. It will blow your mind. Haha . Its crazy how amazing it looks on a phone!
[G3 General] Rodeojones:
Dude, my apologies. It is working. I now see what you mean by it buffering in the background while continuing to play the lower resolution video. It's nearly 1am here, I worked 15.5 hours today, and I just took two percocet to ease the pain from my 13 week old broken leg. In any event, thanks for your effort here. I hope others stumble upon this thread. Cheers friend.
[G3 General] dictionary:
If it gets better than what I'm seeing then I'm keeping this phone for sure lol. Really don't get why I can't get it to work. I'm not new to this stuff by any stretch.
[G3 General] Syntax323:
Awesome! Congrats . Haha, you're fine man, just glad got it figured out for you! Can ya hit the thanks button? Would appreciate it!

Anyway, I made a video, check it out, it forces it a lot faster instead of waiting for it to go by itself. Watch it you'll be a lot happier instead of waiting.

Man, the first time I saw it my jaw dropped... I can't even afford a tv that looks that good!

My fricken eyes don't even see that good! I didn't know life had that much detail! Hahahaha!!!

Makes me wonder why people go and drop resolution of the phone and dpi . Come in, the focal point of the phone is the screen. Its gorgeous. Why would you disable it? For a little bit of battery life? Not worth it to me .

No matter how many times I watch a video in 1440p, it still blows my mind every time.

You ever watch 'Planet Earth' or 'Life'? I would love to watch those on my phone!
[G3 General] dictionary:
Haven't watched, but I'm sure to start lol.

I drop DPI because I need more screen real estate, and things are way too large for me stock. I'm using 530 now, but would go lower if it didn't mess up the stock apps. Once a fully functional AOSP is out, I'll probably go down to 480
[G3 General] Syntax323:
Oops didn't mean dpi. I mean resolution. My bad.

Don't know why I said dpi, I did that too...durrrr ... haha .
[G3 General] Vivasanti:
Followed instructions to a tee - still no 1080 or 1440p videos, never mind, can't be long till they fix it anyways
[G3 General] leomd333:

[G3 General] transfo47:
Good to hear!
[G3 General] screwyluie:
went backwards... originally I had 1080p, but not 1440... after following these instructions to the T, I only have 720p now... grrr
[G3 General] pside15:
Does 1440p only work on wifi? I know it's worked on my G3 on my home network but I can't get 1440p to work over mobile though. I'm assuming it's limited to wifi only because my LTE speed is plenty fast.
[G3 General] stas333:
no matter what i do, i dont have anything about 720. i am on a very very slow connection right now. will check out again at home on wifi
[G3 General] transfo47:
I've done it on Verizon LTE.
[G3 General] transfo47:
That's odd. Works for some, but not for others.
[G3 General] transfo47:
Report back.
[G3 General] pside15:
Interesting. I don't even see 1440p as an option. I was thinking it was because I'm not on wifi. Hmm, not sure what the problem is now.
[G3 General] Royel:
1440p is not 4k
[G3 General] transfo47:
I am aware, but the 4k moniker extends to 2k generally.
[G3 General] KillerPie:
I had a problem after following the directions I was also stuck in 720p with no other better res options. So this is how I got it to work. I again uninstalled updates for you tube but this time I cleared data/cache at this time right after update uninstall. Then I installed the file from box. Tried again and wala, got 1080p and 1440p back.

I am having a hard time distinguishing between 1080p and 1440p because I noticed for me even after changing to lower resolution, it goes back to highest available. I tried few times to go back and checked the video settings but it went back. Not sure if anyone else noticed this too. Either way videos looks great so not complaining. Tested it on both LTE and on Wifi. Would switch between 1080p and 1440p in fast areas while lower in slower areas when on LTE. Thanks for this You Tube fix I sure appreciate it.
[G3 General] pside15:
I've tried this multiple times and I can't get an options higher than 720p now. I suppose it could be because I'm on mobile data because my speed isn't an issue. It's 20+ Mbps on speed test and I downloaded a huge app from the Playstore to verify my speed. Strange that others had it work on mobile data though.
[G3 General] stas333:
Here is the solution for those that this didn't work for.

Use titanium backup to completely uninstall the app, including the one that came with the phone, root required . Then simply download the one in the first post, the first link, install it. Done.
[G3 General] screwyluie:
same result, 720p
[G3 General] stas333:
You must be doing something wrong. Open ti, clear data for YouTube, uninstall, reboot, reinstall the .10 version from the first link. Reboot and try again. The mad max or Mike, video from like 2 or 4 post is in 4k.
[G3 General] 17akota:
Well I tried all three of the ways that people posted on here and I can only get 720p. ?
[G3 General] screwyluie:
That worked... no idea why, but that works. Thanks
[G3 General] clanger7:
Did not work for me. While true i was able to see both 1080 and 1440 options (note I was also able to see 1080 option in the current latest version before I uninstalled to try this - previously I was ONLY able to see max 720 on any uhd or 4k video after 5.10.3.5 update...) - with this method I do see 1080 and 1440 options, but they are never selectable, I pick it, go back to settings, and its still radio buttoned on 720, tried both 1440 and 1080 MANY times on known previously working 1440 and higher vids and still cannot get the option to stick, it just stays at 720 but you can see and even select the 1080 and 1440 options, they just never "take".

Note im on wireless 5ghz connection doing this...

I uninstalled, went back to 5.10.3.5 and cleared data and cache before launching and even 5.10.3.5 gives me 1080 option now (no 1440) BUT - it sometimes lets me select 1080 and other times I have to try selecting it up to 4 or 5 times before it will show up as "selected" when I look at a particular videos settings....
[G3 General] transfo47:
Odd... Lot of mixed reactions. Mine works perfectly.
[G3 General] pside15:
It was the same for me until I got back on wifi. Once I got on my home wifi I followed the complete directions in the OP and it works fine now, even on mobile data. Makes no sense as to why it wouldn't work earlier.
[G3 General] clanger7:
Agreed, it's even weirder - I forgot to mention before I uninstalled your method and went back to 5.10.3.5 both the 1080 and 1440 options went away again...I've had that happen lots where I can see the options then they just diappear and I only get 720 after that (clear,uninstall, reinstall, clear brings it back ... for a time but thats too many hoops to jump) I'll keep trying but thanks for your post and detailed steps, I've been looking for a fix since the update broke it all :)

I should note mine is a Sprint LS990 model Stump rooted, (havent done Bump yet)
