[Resolved] Web browsing question on flashed ROM? - General Questions and Answers

I noticed that live video streaming doesn't work like on the stock rom or maybe its just my phone. All that happens is it will go to the page but not show the live streaming window, its just blank. I flashed back to the froyo stock rooted ROM and it works fine, can anyone explain why? Thanks!

Did you check your network settings and wifi on the stock.

Yes, the same options were checked off in new ROM as well. So I don't know what caused it to happen. Tango, Qik, and all that works fine. It's only when I go to a web site streaming live video.

video format not supported?

i'm using both opera and miren and can't get espn mobile site to load videos. opera says video format not supported. miren says you do not have permission to access this. i also can't get espn video clips to load even on full desktop page view using these 2 broswers. it just shows a picture and no options to play. i uninstalled the stock browser since i don't plan on using it. i doubt that has anything to do with. adobe flash is already installed. can anyone help me out?
edit: apparently it does since i installed the stock browser back and it works fine on opera but not miren. the quality of the video is horrible though. is that normal? i don't see any option that relates to that.
Link? So I can try it on my phone?

Browser Problems

About twice a day, when browsing with the default browser, it will lock up, give the one vibrate followed by two...stay locked up, do the vibration pattern again and then present a black screen. About two minutes later, it appears it rebooted but never showed the Samsung or AT&T logos...
Anyone else having this issue?

Has not happen to me.
It could have been the site you visited. Try Dolphin HD, much better than stock browser.

All of the Galaxy S phones experience this occasionally when viewing certain heavy websites like the pocketnow.com desktop site, especially if you get a few tabs going. Nice to see Samsung still hasn't fixed that. I suggest Opera Mobile.
I can vouch for the browser crapping out on any large website, this was one of reasons I switched from the captivate to the inspire. Used an infuse today and noticed the browser froze right away on anything with flash content.
I like the stock browser but I will try Opera Mobile for a while to see if it helps...it was my browser of choice on WM 6.5

If I remember correctly on my captivate there were a few development who had tweaked the browser.apk to fix rendering issues and freezing. Will have to go back and read changelogs on some of the custom roms

Yes...please let me know what you find out...this has been the only real complaint I have with this great phone...

This happened again today...on both of our phones...anyone else encounter this lately? It is starting to become a show stopper for us on this otherwise awesome phone!
I had the same problem. The stock browser is a RAM hog. Use opera mobile, much much better and faster!

Just use Dolphin browser, when out of ram it will not load new tab on the background unless you open the background tab,

Well here's my quandry... I like the stock browser and I didn't have this problem with my Captivate... I am just really hoping that we can find a solution for this. I did reset the browser back to default settings and so far in the past couple days this is not happened... I'm not saying it fixed it but I will monitor it for a few days.
Side note however..
How can I make one of the other browsers the default browser and also where do I go to reset that back to the stock browser?
Thanks...

If you're having problems with the stock browser just switch to an alternative like dolphin or firefox etc. Many improvements over the simple UI and limited functionality of the stock browser anyway.

I'm trying something different now... I think I was on wi-fi each and every time that the browser locked up the phone and rebooted... I am going to try to keep it off of wifi for a few days and do regular browsing see what happens

It is quite annoying and honestly unacceptable... using another browser is only a bandaid... this needs to be made loud and clear to at&t and samsung... there is a problem here...

Download issues

Hey all, first time posting but I have an issue with my data ever since I rooted my g2x. Actually data and speed works fine, but when I get to downloading a file, like a podcast from the webpage it says download unsuccessful everytime. I am able to download a podcast via wifi connections though. So I don't know folks. Can anyone help?

Youtube stopped loading??!?

So I'm using Eaglesblood ROM. Youtube worked for the first two weeks using the ROM. Out of no where it won't load any videos. It loads youtube and home page etc etc just fine but when I click on the video to play it just stays at that loading circle forever. Everything works fine over wi-fi and cell. Facebook, browser, whatever uses data works fine. Just not youtube videos? weird? It may be some setting I did on accident and just don't realize it? Any help would be nice! Thanks in advance.
This has been a problem with EB for a long time now. You're probably the third or fourth guy to bring it up in Q&A forum. Until there is an update, it remains unfixed.
yeah I get lucky with eb sometimes. But normally YouTube is the broke

YouTube randomly force closes

All of a sudden YouTube is force closing on me when trying to play some videos.. I've tried clearing the cache and data, I've removed and installed YouTube from the market and from a good known backup..
What gives? Noting has changed that I know of.. It worked fine one hour, the next trying to play the same video it will fc. But it will play some, I guess it's just picky and doesn't like my taste of videos.

Is a common Youtube Mobile today. For exemple for me it FCs when I want to watch a video, all my subscriptions were gone etc. (just on mobile version). And it happened on my 2.3.4 SGSII, on my 4.0.3 Nexus S and on CM7 SGS
So it's an issue with YouTube then? Makes sense because I have an epic doing the same thing but not as bad as the nexus.

i have no issues with youtube..
no force closing and my account subs work fine.
same issue for me with youtube when you select video it crashes...tried on stock and custom rom and problem still exists...so something wrong the app itself
its a problem with YouTube. Its happening to IOS users too. You'll notice your subscriptions may not be showing either.
