I use the uZard web browser on my HTC HD2 mobile device (running Windows Mobile 6.5).
Recently I have found that the flash player cannot actually play any videos. On the whole it will open but the Stop, Play/Pause, Volume and Close buttons will not respond. My only choice, thereafter, is to use Windows Mobile Task Manager to forcibly shut the player down and return to the browser itself.
I do not know why it has suddenly started doing this after many months of working with few real problems. I have tried soft-reseting the phone and re-installing the program but I cannot get the flash player to work.
Very occasionally a dialogue box will open saying 'File Not Found' (which I have seen before) and then the player buttons will respond to the extent that they normally would - obviously without actually playing the video. However, when the file opens properly the player simply opens and freezes - even before showing the first frame of the video.
Please help. I have tried to contact the developers through the uZard site but received no reply. If anyone knows anywhere else where it would be worht enquiring, that would be useful information too.
Many thanks!
Further Experimentation
I have found that, after freezing for the best part of two minutes, the player produces the 'Error' message; "Could not open URL!"
After hitting 'OK,' the player responds again. That is to say, you can change the volume level and hit the buttons. If I hit the 'Play/Pause' button, the player will freeze up for a while and, again, produce the message "Could not open URL!"
It looks like LogicPlant, who make the browser are not going to reply to my requests for help so if anyone has any bright ideas, I hope you'll share them.
Many thanks.
I have the exact same problem with my HD2. any solutions?
I'm afraid I still have not found any solution to this; I have experimented, I have researched and I have posted on here - all to no avail.
Interestingly, I recently re-installed uZard on my mobile (having taken it of within a month of my last post). The flash player was able to play videos (and I tested it on a number of websites too).
However, after attempting to use the program a second time, the problem re-occurred. Sure enough, as was the case back in December, simply uninstalling and (at least immediately) re-installing makes no difference.
I literally have NO IDEA why this does not work. I have also tried contacting the makers of the program through the E-Mail addresses provided on the uZard website. That was back in December as well and I received no replies.
Please let me know, anyone, if you have any ideas. Many thanks.

I think I've put this in the right place, but Mods please feel free to move it if I haven't.
My O2 XDA Ignito (HTC Touch Diamond in a different housing) has worked perfectly with iFonz for many months. I'm on version 1.1.2. I am very, very happy with iFonz and would not want to go back to TouchFlo which is nowhere near as good.
Yesterday, iFonz suddenly started operating extremely slowly. I thought I had crashed, but in fact it responds to commands but takes anything from 15 seconds to over a minute to do so. Until then, it has been virtually instantaneous.
The first command I issue after it's been left for some time will work as normal, but if I open (say) the PI Calendar, then close that - the nothing else will work for about 15 seconds after the keypress.
The only change I know about is that I had a problem with ActiveSynch to a new desktop installation (the familiar 0x86000107 problem) which I fixed in the usual way by deleting and reinstalling the pairing. Activesync worked fine after that.
I have S2U2 running - but that's always been there.
I noticed from the time I first installed iFonz that it would not update its header bar for several seconds after starting, but everything else worked OK.
Can anyone suggest a cause or a fix? I'm reluctant to uninstall and reinstall because I've set up 4 pages of icons and don't want to lose all that work.
I never used iFonz but i'm pretty sure the settings are kept somewhere so you can export them and not have to set everything up from the beginning. I always suggest uninstalling to check what causes the problem.
Thank you. Indeed, that is what I would have expected. I've searched the machine carefully, and found the iFonz software but no settings file.
I've PMed the author, and meanwhile I've taken iFonz off the startup list and running Touchflo instead. I don't like it anything like as much as iFonz, but it works.
Well, there's been no reply from the author, and everything I've tried (including uninstall and reinstall) has made no difference. Sad, because I liked iFonz.

Please tell me how to fix the above a bit more specifik...
I don't understand what you mean by: "pairing"
"Pairing" is setting up the ActiveSync connection between the PDA/phone and the PC so that they will synchronise when you connect them.
If you get the error, you have a problem. I fixed mine for a few months, but then the problem came back worse, and the fixes that used to work stopped. Basically, I don't think ActiveSync is capable of doing the job reliably. It deleted all my contacts (losing me a load of names and addresses that I needed and couldn't recover). I threw it out some time ago.
I now use an iPhone which doesn't have any of those problems.
My Fuze has started soft resetting itself whenever I try to play a mms stream. I've perfermed several hard resets and the issue will not resolve itself. I did a search and found information on MP3s, but nothing about streams. I have internet access with no problems in both Internet Explorer and Opera. I'm not new to Windows, just WinMo.
Any ideas or threads I've overlooked?
Ok, I figured it out. I was doing either a clear storage or a hard reset to try to clear up the software glitch. It was only when I cleared storage, then performed a hard reset at the screen setup that the problem was cleared up.
Unfortunately, it seems the problem was caused by Herg's flip clock. Time to head over to that thread and find out if there's a way to keep Media Player working.
Well, after working normally last night, we're back to either locking up or rebooting while trying to play a mms stream in Media Player. Just plain old stock ATT software. No add-ons. No customization.
I'm really at a loss here and am thinking hardware, but it's only with one app, which usually rules out hardware.
looks like the Jetflicks website has either been shutdown or has crashed. Their facebook page wall has deleted all user comments and all support methods are unresponsive (e-mail/phone). Anyone know what's going on with Jetflicks?
I have been having the same problem for 2 days.. Not sure what's up. Jetflicks has never been good about responding to support. Not sure why they even offer a way to ask questions. Hopefully they have not been shutdown..
Edit: if you go to the PlayStore (Market) and look at Jetflicks it says they are down for Maintenance until 3-28-12.
Really hope they truly come back tomorrow...they have the best mobile TV VOD service I've ever seen.
Their back.....
You might also want to try DroidTV Primetime.
It pretty much is just getting the same "free" shows you can get from ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX etc. websites. But it brings it to your phone. And your phone becomes a DVR. I have it set up to record new show episodes only when I connect to my WIFI at home. Then I can watch stuff on the go without using 3G. So Jetflicks and this combined is AWESOME!!
If you try this keep in mind the first time takes awhile. What it does is (I THINK) is it will have a server go to the Website and essentially "watch" the show you want recorded and at the same time record it to its servers. After which it will then upload it to your phone. So I think by doing this it goes through the needed loop holes to stay legal. This is what I think it does, but I noticed when mega servers were shutdown by the goverment, this program stopped for a bit.... so who knows. But just remember they have to get to there severs and then to your phone so first time takes a bit.
When you delete a show, you have an option to delete and permanently delete the show. "delete" removes from phone and "permanently delete" removes from phone and their servers. If you will want to download it again then just delete. If you will not want to watch again remove from phone and their server....
Hi all,
First excuse me if this is not the good forum for this thread, I'm new to this website.
I have a big problem with my Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
It doesn't play any video or music. Not only in a specific app but in every app I tried.
I tried the youtube app, the stock music app, shuttle music player which I usually use, but it also doesn't work when I go to youtube, dailymotion or any video site with the chrome browser. Videos in my facebook news feed won't play too.
When I try to watch a video or listen to music or simply launch an app like youtube for example, the phone becomes so slow that I must close the app. If I manage to click on a video, it just won't start. Generaly the app crash or the phone shut down or restart.
With the vlc app I can see the video but there is no sound.
It really starts to piss me off, I don't understand what's the problem.
Maybe it a software problem, I thought I could do a hard reset.
But it could also be a hardware problem, specifically something in relation with the speaker or the sound system, because yesterday my phone made strange noises and three days ago it fell on the ground.
Any help is welcome. Thank you for everything in advance.
Hi!
The easiest way to solve the following:
1. hard reset.
2. It did not help, then reflash the firmware on the stock, or better service firmware.
3. It did not help, then contact the service, as it is likely unfortunately hard problem.
Sorry for my english, good luck!
Hello, thanks for your help.
I reset the phone and the problem is still here.
But I noticed something interesting.
When I reboot the phone, it works for a while before the problem come back.
But maybe it's just a coincidence, because this morning the speaker made strange noises right before the problem came back. So I'm more and more covinced that it's a hardware issue.
So I think i will take the phone to a repair storé if thé problem doesn't go away by itself.
It's my pleasure.
But if you reflash the device previously, you would advise to try to flash ... Although, if you can carry in service, it is better there.
Hello,
there is this strange issue I am facing at the moment:
When I boot up my phone, there is internet, I can browse via Chrome, I can fetch mails and everything.
But after 10 seconds, 99% of my connectivity is gone. Chrome says, "Oh no! there is a problem with the website" I am trying to visit (every website). Tugabrowser force-closes then, Aqua-Mail tells me the SSL-Certificate is invalid, Youtube just closes without any error. I can search for apps in the PlayStore and see results, but cannot download anything.
It doesn't matter if I try it using the LTE-connection of my phone or using WiFi.
When I reboot the phone, it works completely for the first 10 seconds and then I get the same problems.
To complete the strangeness: WhatsApp and Spotify work every time (I mean even after those 10 seconds, when everything else stopped working).
Help is highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Best regards
Hecke
