New problem all of a sudden. When I try to play video from a web page such as ESPN, my browser crashes and the phone returns to the home screen. My clock screen, not the browser home screen.
I have to reboot the browser and reload the page that I was viewing. I am running the stock browser on a bone stock unrooted Inspire. Any thoughts or similar problems ?

Thanks, I already had Flash player, but I installed the update, went to veiw a video and browser crashed again.
Go to settings/applications/manage apps/all, click on internet, clear cache and data.
Had a couple of questions on the Youtube HD playback issues.
1) There is a lag in playing Youtube HD videos in both the app and the browser using Flash. Flash 10.2 with HC 3.1 claims to fix the browser playback issue. Does the Youtube app also use Flash for playback ? Does HC 3.1 fix the app playback issue also ?
2) The YT app has an option called HQ, but doesn't specify if its 480 or 720p. Any idea what resolution it plays the video under HQ option ?
Any takers on this
I like better the mobile site version of YouTube and it plays videos a lot better than the full desktop site version.
Both have lagged for me (the app and the mobile site). I'm pretty sure the YouTube app works without flash installed, so not sure how a flash update will fix it.
I'm going to download the latest Flash when it's released (10.3) and try it out.

That's interesting to me at least. The CNN app plays videos in full screen without lag or chopping frames, while the native Youtube app does lag and they both don't use flash. This makes me skeptical, if 3.1 would fix the issue with the playback lag in the app.

How's 10.3? Any better?
Not really, performance wise. We need honeycomb 3.1 and flash with hardware acceleration!

That's right, the 10.3 can be installed on 3.0.1, but the hardware acceleration stuff is for 3.1+
The other things this update have are security fixes for 3.0+
The 10.3 update seems to pretty much fix my Youtube lag problems. And a lot of the update might be for 3.1, but the release notes indicate it enables hardware acceleration by default on 3.0+ devices. So it should have helped you guys.
Strangely, the choppy playback in the app seems to be a non-issue on the Xoom, even on 3.0.1. So, makes me think what the issue could be on the Transformer
after updating to 10.3 my web flash seems smoother... even at 720p its definately watchable and seems decent... the app seems to still be a bit choppy... maybe not as bad (hard to say)...
Don't know if this has been mentioned yet as a workaround for the youtube app stuttering but it worked for me.
Install Dolphin HD and set the user agent to iPad.
Then when you touch play on a youtube vid choose Dolphin HD again if you get the app menu. DON'T CHOOSE THE YOUTUBE APP.
Dolphin should then load the default media player app and play the mp4 stream off of youtube instead of using Flash. Most HD vids were a lot smoother for me.

Tried this and doesn't work for me. Problem still exists
I'm working on a review of the Transformer and I emailed my ASUS PR rep.. speaking of Youtube, I asked him about this and his response was:
As for 720P+ fullscreen playback in Flash, this will be fixed in 3.1 as it will allow Hardware Acceleration for Flash, so for once Adobe is waiting on the OS guys to implement something first.

Yes, that would fix the flash playback issue. But, how about the playback lag in the Youtube app ? Does 3.1 fix it too ?

Yes that will be fixed with 3.1. I emailed him for clarification on the YouTube app being fixed and he said yes

Thanks. That really clarifies it. Will wait for 3.1
OK I returned my TF at PC Richards today and got a replacement. The speaker volume out of sync is gone in the new piece. The Youtube app playback is also much better in full screen, although it still lags for some videos. Also updated to the firmware .9 and things seem to be smoother. The audio fidelity also seems to have improved surely in this new piece. I'm more happy now
Using Hellfire ics, stock browser and dolphin do not let me play flash videos for some reason, I can hear audio, though.
Boat browser lets me play flash but keeps crashing whenever I rotate the screen.

You download flash player?
I heard there was a problem being addressed with the rotate fc tho, I think people are using chrome...
Pin it to Win it.
Yes, version 11.

Okay well get Google chrome and rotate the screen prior to starting the video and you should be fine

I've noticed this problem in Opera too.
If you are using YouTube, you must play in high quality, otherwise the video playback won't work properly.
Kind of inconvenient, but ics is still new for us.

Could be worse... you could have to watch in regular quality all the time lol

Hi, maybe some problems with flash player.
Try uninstalling the flash player or update it via the play store.
There is a small possibility that your gpu is ****d up, you can test this by playing a game or try to play a self made video that u captured with your phone. If all works well, the flash player itself is to blame.
Good luck!
??????Question
:cyclops:When did it work last without doing that? Have you changed the device in anyway since then?
reflash the rom
I fixed it, just updated my rom , flash player didnt work D:
Thanks anyways <3

I'm using the Dolphin browser but I tried the other browser suck as the stock one and Opera. When I'm watching anime on dolphin browser, I use anime44.com. Every few minutes the video pauses for an unknown reason and yes it's usually buffered by the time that happens. I have to fast forward a bit so it can re-buffer and w8 until it starts to play again. Then, I have to go back and re-buffer it again to start playing. I'm using Jelly Bean. Any1 know how to fix this?
I doubt this is a problem with your ROM or even your phone. It is probably a Dolphin problem. Have you tried using the Chrome app?

Yes I did but Chrome doesn't support flash
Maybe try using the request desktop version button on chrome. Or use the same on dolphin and it may help you out.
