[Q] BBC Iplayer APP Problems - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im running 2.3.2 CM7 & 2.3.3 Detoxed with netarchy's kernel, and everytime i go to watch a video over wifi on the app the video plays normally for around 15/20 mins then the problems begin.
Video crashes totally but sound continues.
Video goes to small view on the app, with double sound with a delay between the two.
Video plays normal but with the media controls showing constantly and cant remove them.
When this happens i have to go back to the iplayer main screen pick the program again and seek to the position where it crapped out, however if there is more than 15/20 mins left it will repeat the errors again forcing me to seek back to the point where it crapped out again.
I have 10.1 Flash installed and have tried re-installing it and fixing permissions, and these errors happen under 2.3.2 & 2.3.3
Anyone else getting this ?

it's fine on stock 2.3.3

I've found it to be a very unreliable and buggy app in general. So I doubt its any problem with your device.
Just hope they are working on improving it!

[HELP] Flash Player Problem

Hello All,
I hope someone could help. I am running Wolfbreak's ROM and using Adobe Flash 10.2 from Market. The player works fine, but when playing a long video (ie, a TV show episode from Megaupload) the phone reboots itself.
I noticed that if I underclock the processor to 699 it doesn't reboot as quickly as before. However, it reboots after a while.
I disabled all tweaks on my phone (sysctl, build.prop mods, theme) so all I am missing is to reflash unless somebody else confirms the same issue.
Can someone try to stream a whole movie and see how it goes?
Not really to sure what is going on? I have streamed full tv shows, played games, but have not watched any movies. I have not had a single reboot since flashing WB newest rom. I would try to reflash and see if it fixes the problem.
I'm with up053 and I have no problem with whole movie

[Q] Video Recording Failure

So the only thing that I have noticed that is fairly annoying is this:
You open up the video camera and you start to record (mind you it's set for 720p recording 1280x720). After 8 seconds (or 10 sometimes) it stops working. Menu, Back etc. nothing works except hitting home button.
Going back into the app its still stuck. Eventually it moves to the view the video screen, and when you go back it says "Video Recording Failed".
You do this maybe once or twice, and then you're good, no more problems for that moment when you want to record.
Anyone else?

Yeah I am also experiencing that problem but there is another issue I am having with the gallery and video player. For example If i watch one video, exit the video and choose another, the phone starts to FC and goes crazy and the only fix is to reboot because it does the same thing over and over again. Its is really irritating especially since I record a lot of videos on this phone and i want to watch the video before i upload it.

I'm on stock KD1, but it was happening on stock KB5 as well.
It's not like I can't work around it, and it only happens for recording 1280x720 resolution videos. Might even be SD related who knows.
I used to have the same problen when recording on the camera's highest resolution. Once I switched the sd card to a 16gb class 6, never had that problem again.

I'm on KD1 with Stock memory card and I'm not experiencing this issue.
Possible phone defect, maybe?

yeah i made sure to go into the settings and check the 1280x720. recorded fine. Maybe a clean start and flash may do the trick?
I completely started all over again. backed up stock memory card to computer. formatted it, then flashed phone to Kxx rom then downloaded all apps and rebuilt my launcher and home screens. I now have no issues what so ever. I think it was due to all the crap that i was dl'ing and uninstalling along with flashing. One more thing, fixed all of my permissions after doing the whitehawkz mods and CWM beta. phone is snappy and happy, no FC's and all seems to be working fine.
or like smokey said, change out sd card and see what happens...
I'm using KD1 but I have an 8gb class 10 card and I'm not experiencing this problem.

Yeah I think that if I did that chadster and got a higher class SD it would probably resolve it.
Also probably not a bad idea to do what fknfocused suggested either. I've stayed pretty stock but getting that itching to mod the phone up. UOT Kitchen does have support for Edify scripting but probably has a few things that may or may not work well with TW.
Anyhow, I'm getting the urge to mod.

[Q] Flash 11 problems

I have a serious problem with my flash player I think. I am unable to view youtube videos in more than 360p, at 480p the video lags like hell and the phone becomes quite unresponsive, 720p is out of the question. Moreover, the full screen button doesn't work it just shows a blank screen when pressed and upon pressing return the browser sees the flash object as an image and the video wont load.
Facebook chat is almost always placed in wrong position, half of the buttons don't work.
This has happened to me on all ROMs but the fullscreen bug only occurred in the ICS(RC1) and I have tired several different methods to fix these issues, still no luck.
So I wanted to know is this normal for flash player to behave like this? Or Do I have some sort of an issue?

Flash player slow performance

I never have had problems with my tablet's flash player performance. Suddenly i noticed that in sites like gametrailers or ign, i have to touch the screen in order to keep the video running. I ve never seen something like that on any other android device. Keep in mind this doesn t happen in youtube. What happened suddenly? I tried uninstalling the latest update of adobe flash player, i even tried a factory reset, nothing happened. Has anyone a clue about what may causing this? When i release the screen the video lags or stops completely but sound keeps running

[Q] Camera / Video playback

So back when I was on Froyo and GB + root the camera and video playback worked flawlessly.
Since then, I've updated/flashed over to Slim_ICS + Lightning Launcher. I can record video just fine. But when I go to playback any sort of media, whether it be from youtube or facebook or something I've had on my SD card already, or something I record with the camera; the screen with flicker constantly and the frames will freeze (sound will continue to play). If it tap the video it'll pause play back and then catch up and resume. Sometimes it will work after the tap, sometimes it won't. I'm led to believe it has something to do with the latest flash over, since on the two previous builds it never gave any issues...
I also downloaded a aftermarket app ( MX player ) and still the same issue. Any ideas?

Does this only happen on SlimICS + Lightning Launcher?
Tried just SlimICS?
Try any other rom?
Does this happen on CM9 r8? (without lightning launcher.)

It seems to be on the SlimICS + Lightning Launcher.
Previously I was running GB + root + CWM + basic with a twist KJ6 and ADW.Launcher, and everything was good. I have not tried any other roms yet. I'm looking into the next one to try actually. Been thinking about going back down to GB or at least changing to a new launcher.
If it makes a difference, I did jump from GB + KJ6 over to SlimICS without previously having CM7 or CM9 installed. (I did this for two reasons, 1.) as I was doing my research on CM9 I noticed a lot of issues that I wanted to stay away from, 2.) erikmm himself said it wasn't necessary to have either version previously installed.) Now could this be the red-flag issue? I did a complete wipe/factory reset before the flash over. Though I did not flash over the zip twice as one user said to do in order to do the jump smoothly.
Just thought I'd post an update.
Went ahead and switched to GO Launcher. Cleared cache and rebooted phone. Video playback works fine now!
Though I think I'll go back to ADW.launcher. I like it more than GO so far.
