I watch YouTube a lot on my phone and i noticed that the quality is bumped down. Is there a way to change that so it can be in quality like 720p or 1080p?

It'll be slow on 3g but on wifi the speeds are fine. The issue is with the buffering and with HD video on 3g it's just slower than molasses. When the video is playing you should see an HQ button. Click it and it will up the quality to HD depending of course on if the video is available inn HD to begin with.

even though i use wifi it still a lower quality. one of my friends told me its because of boost since the phone is basically pre-paid
All you have to do is tap the "HQ" button on the video in the lower left hand corner of the app like pictured above your last post. Has nothing to do with Boost, I have Boost as well and don't have any trouble viewing in HQ. Could view in HQ on my old Prevail and Rush as well on Boost.

Exactly!
Or go to YouTube settings and click on "always HD"
