Is my Galaxy Tab 8.9 screen broken? - General Questions and Answers

Yesterday I watched BBC iPlayer in full screen mode and notice a weird behaviour.
Please have a look at the video, you will see a black triangle flashing every few
seconds.

Anyone an explanation for this behaviour? It just happens on BBC Iplayer and in full screen mode, no problems when watching youtube though.
It is very distracting, your input and help would be appreciated!

Try other full screen apps.

sorted, thansk
Some more googling gave me an answer to my problem. It seems
that there is a problem with the flash update:

I just got rid of all updates, and the iPlayer is working fine in full screen mode.
Great that it is only a software issue, hope this is then resolved in the ICS version

[Q] Videos not playing anymore from gallery (solved)

Hello!
Weird problem occured today. Any of the videos I have on gallery wont play anymore. When I click the preview image from the video screen just darkens a little bit and then nothing happens?!! When I touch the screen the second time it lightens up again?!
It used to work before. Couple days ago I watched few videos throught gallery which I recorded with HTC desire. When I pressed the preview image a pop up window showed up which asked which player I want to use, either the stock player or MX video player that I also have installed. And it worked just fine no matter which one I used.
Now there is no pop up anymore, it just darkens. And yes Iam trying to watch the same videos which worked before. Even if I record a video with the TF's own camera it wont play it when I try to open it up either from gallery or from file manager.
If I open the MX video player and launch the video throught there it works, but why it doesnt launch it from anywhere else?
Any help is appreciated!
Edit: Stock 3.2 android, so its not rooted.
Forgive me if this is a dumb question...have you tried to restart it? When mine does that I end up having to restart to get things working again. If you have tried that then Im not sure...

Yes I have restarted it.
Man this is getting even more weird. I received email about your reply and when I tryed to press the link from Gmail app which would direct me to this thread screen just darkened again just like with the video. No pop up asking which browser I want to use, it just darkens and lights up when I press the screen again?!?
One other option is this...try rotating the screen and see if the menu pops up for you.
If you have installed any 3rd party browsers, try uninstalling them and see if this resolves your issue. Let me know so I can keep looking for ya if not!

Heh, I think I got it solved now. I unmounted TF from the dock in order to try that screen rotation and decided to see if the email thing works. And it did, so does the videos now! I hooked up it on the dock again and everything seems to be working again.
I didnt even rotate the screen, seems like just unmounting and mounting it on the dock did the trick. Thanks.
No prob man, I noticed when I searched google it was a problem in general with the 3.2 update on a few devices. Glad you got it fixed!

[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?

Youtube app Audio but no Video (black screen)

I have starting to notice this has occurred more frequently lately with the Mate 9. Sometime when I opened a youtube video on the app, the video is just completely black. The audio played just fine, but there's just no video. I have try clearing cache and even go as far as factory reset several times but this issue always comes back. Is there any recommendation or settings I can change to get rid of the issue once and for all? I did not experienced this with any of my previous snapdragon phones so I don't know if it's a Kirin thing or not. I would appreciate any input from anyone that'd experienced this. TIA.
common issue among several devices. It is a youtube app problem.
I switched to newpipe for viewing videos. Never looked back.
I had this problem. Assumed it was YouTube as I've had zero issues with my Mate 9. Probably issue their end.
I have the same issue. It's very annoying.

Video playback issue on my S6

Heya everyone!
I am having an issue with my S6 that involves video playback.
The 2 scenario's I am experiencing this issue in are:
- youtube app: it will play audio, but video gives a black screen
- whatsapp: will open a video, but it doesn't play (as if it was just a picture). also doesn't open gif files at all.
yet youtube works fine in the browser, and i can watch my whatsapp gifs and video's from the gallery as normal too. (but it is still a BIG problem!!!!)
Sometimes when I restart my phone, it will start working. and other times it will just randomly start working again too.
But after a while, it will just break again and goes back to the problems described above.
I am experiencing this on different versions of the Stock Nougat firmware, even after full data wipes (including wiping the internal storage).
So I am totally clueless, but I find it hard to believe this is a hardware issue, since it does work sometimes, and then it doesn't work other times.
Any help, advice or insight in this issue is appreciated

YouTube TV Black Screen when attempting to play video

Youtube TV opens fine, and video plays in the preview windows while browsing for shows. But as soon as I click on a video to play, I just get a black screen and video never starts. Anyone have solution for this issue?
I've got an MTCE_LM, PX5.... have had the issue on both the stock ROM and Malasyk's customer 8.0 ROM. Thanks for any advice you can share!!!
Did you enable the play videos while driving option in car settings?
Oh yeah, of course. I've searched far and wide. On a few other devices it seems changing some display settings works.... Things like disabling auto brightness, etc. I've tried everything I can think of or find out there.
I'm out of ideas and I've searched everywhere I can with no luck.
