Phone: Stock Oneplus One
Since I upgraded to android 6.0.1 I noticed in chrome all the videos I would watch online, the sound would be out of sync by around 1 second, tried other webpapges but all seemed to have the sound delay.
I then downloaded opera mini browser so see if the problem was only in Chrome, but unfortunately Opera to had the 1 second sound delay. I then moved on to Firefox which seems to work perfectly and there is no delay in the sound however, it is my least favorite browser and if possible would like to be able to use chrome. With the success of firefox, i though the problem lied in not having flash on any given browser, so downloaded Puffin web browser and still no luck and sound delay was still apparent.
Any suggestions on a possible fix? I have noticed twitter to has the sound delay problems when i try to watch videos in app however the facebook in app browser (which pops up when you click on a link which would normally open up a browser) works perfectly fine.

Whichever ROM I use Im finding that a lot of the time my gallery will not open to view pictures, giving me the error 'unable to start the program because there is not enough free memory...'. To give an example, the error is happening now and I have a few apps open (including Coreplayer which is playing in the background and using 23% cpu) but it seems to be Opera that is causing this problem as even if I close EVERYTHING but Opera down with Task Manager it is only once Opera 10 is force closed that I am able to open my Gallery again. I have performed the same scenario, leaving Coreplayer etc running and just closing Opera Mobile 10 and immediately everything is running fine again. Anyone have any idea why this might be happening? There seems to be plenty of system memory available whether Opera is running or not so I can't understand it....
On a side note, I would LOVE to set Opera 10 to open YouTube links with the actual YouTube app (as Opera 9.7 does) instead of the HTC streaming app - which is crap quality. Does anyone know what registry tweak I need to do to enable this??
Opera 10 = settings advance plugins on i can watch videos on youtube this way
Hi thanks for your response but i think you misunderstand; when I go on m.youtube.com through the standard Opera Mobile 9.7 and select a video it opens up the YouTube app which plays in very high quality. When I do the same with Opera mobile 10 it uses the Streaming Player which is very POOR quality.
I want to know if there is any way of tweaking an Opera Mobile registry setting so that it opens up the YouTube app instead of the Streaming Player.
I am aware that you can go to the full site and view videos using Flash Lite but for me this is also poor quality compared to the h.264 streams used by the YouTube app.
I use m.youtube.com to view my subscriptions and favourites as the YouTube app doesnt allow it from within the app itself as the iPhone and Android versions do.
Thanks

have you recently opened a file rather than save it to sd?
This is a known issue - I've seen others report this on here, and I too have the exact same issue.
If I have Opera 10 running, I cannot open the Album app. As soon as I close Opera 10, I can. It's that simple.
I guess this is an issue that only the Opera devs can fix.
The strangest thing happened when I was testing Opera 10 on a Combo 1.72+2.10 Base...
I was able to open the HD2 Album WHILE Opera 10 Final was running...
But on Full or Mixed 2.10 Bases for TMOUS, Album would spit out the "Out Of Memory" Error...
Don't know why this is though, just reporting an observation
I think it was not the build but the order of opening that matters.
Look here
i installed opera 10 mobile on my hd2,is it my imagination or is it that slow? played with it for about an hour then went back to 9.7 which has woked fine

Did you install it to the sd-card? Opera 10 runs very smooth for me but I still like 9.7 better.

THat is because Opera 9.7 was built solely for the HD2 to make use of the multitouch. This is also why there are so many registry tweaks available as it is built into the ROM.
Opera 10 was designed for all touch screen WM devices, and as such works for the lowest common denominator of device.

The way they do flash is a pretty neat idea. Heh. =)
It is back up on the Market, you can download it there.
someone try hulu -- i can't do it myself at the moment and i'm curious to see how it works(if at all)
Just tested it. Gotta say.
It's bad.
The pinch to zoom is horrible and I don't care if they can play flash. I'll wait for Froyo. Lol. Stock browser seems to be the best for me so far. Haha.

I agree, not running the way it does on the HD2. I will wait till the official beta release of flash 10.1 mobile!
It's nice, and playing flash is great, but it's pretty choppy.
I'll stick with Fennec for now, I can wait for an official Flash release.
Haven't tried pinch zoom, but flash playback worked flawless for me on tmo 3g. loaded up thedailyshow.com and was able to watch a full episode without an issue
Why don't they have this running like it was on my T-Mobile Dash 3G? This is garbage. No flash in the browser. Only flash videos. For example, Strong Bad Emails loads up on my Dash as it would on my PC, but with Skyfire for Android, all I get are those damn boxes with question marks in them. This is a huge let down. Not at all what I expected from Skyfire. As far as I'm concerned, this is fail. Especially with true Flash support around the corner from Adobe. Skyfire had a chance to beat them to the punch here, and they failed. Embarrassing if you ask me.
Doesn't seem to work with all flash videos but its still pretty quick. Anyone know of a good way to test this cloud speed compared to any other browser?
After trying it out for a few minutes i figured out that it does load most videos. I cant check hulu since im a canuck thought. sometimes you simply need to refresh the page and it will find the video. i also found that if you load up the video and it just shows a white box it will always freeze at 25%. This is easily fixed by backing out and reloading the video. Whenever i saw a screenshot of the video while it loaded, it always loaded full.
sites tried and all worked.
crackberry.com
ign.com
xvideos.com ( hey... its strickly educational!)
I cannot actually tell whether this is using the cloud as claimed or not.
For example, using opera mini and visiting what's my ip will show an Opera ip confirming that your days is traveling via opera and is bring compressed etc.
Skyfire doesn't - it shows my ip and renders almost identical to the stock browser. Pages do seem to load a but quicker but that could just be because I'm expecting them to.
maybe I'll run netstat and see whether skyfire actually connects to a skyfire server when rendering a normal page..

No need, I can tell you the answer:
All web pages/normal browsing is done on the device, and is rendered using webkit, and not through a proxy, a la Opera. This is the same reason videos can't be displayed inline. The only time the cloud is used is for transcoding video. If you were to watch a netstat while watching a flash video, you'd see your device connecting to Skyfire's servers.

That's pretty crap. One of Skyfire's attractions was that it worked like Opera Mini but rendered pages better. If its just the stock browser essentially with the ability to watch flash videos then it's of little value.

Keep in mind its still beta, it will get better.

In my opinion, it doesn't work any worse than the stock browser, so it's still worth using. You're still getting the ability to watch flash videos(which has worked well in my experience), plus you get sleeker tabbed browsing and easy user agent switching right in the toolbar.
The only Flash Video I have been able to get to play are the ones on the sites pre-bookmarked on the Stock Skyfire Homepage. When it doesn't work, I get the Video popup, click on it. The video loads, looks like it starts to buffer and then, instead of playing it reads something to the effect of, Content not available for your device. We're sorry for the Inconvenience.
I haven't tested a lot of sites but no Hulu, no YouPorn, and worst of all, no Sirius Satellite Radio, like i could do on WinMo a year ago.
On the plus side, its nice to have the full Google Voice site available on the phone and Google Wave seems to be rendering nicely.
Great start, flash works good for me on tmo 3g. Videos look great. Rendering is good and quick. Like others said pinch to zoom needs work, but this is now my second favorite browser behind HTC sense browser.
I tested
IGN - Works
Gametrailers - Doesnt
Espn - Works
Facebook - Doesnt
thedailyshow - works
Abc.com - Works! (watching full episode of better off ted !)
Worldstarhiphop - Works

Yeah, I tried it on the daily show as well, and it worked great. Due to the way this is set up, it'd be impossible for them to cover every site. I noticed they do have a 'report non-working video' option in the menu, so people may want to try using that to help improve the service.
I noticed that you can pinch to zoom and with two fingers still on the screen you can scoll around the page.
I have humble 1.25 and Youtube flash and other flash will not work. Anyone else getting this. It starts the video and says dolphin browser has crashed. Same thing happens with google browser.

It works fine for me. Youtube app, youtube site, and other flash work fine on google browser.
if you have the official twitter app, get rid of it, restart and try again.
First thing i did after rooting was disable twitter and facebook lol. I dunno why it wont let me play anything on youtube. it makes me force close everytime it starts.
EDIT: this is way annoying just tried dolphin browser, skyfire, firefox, google and they all crash right when I push play.
EDIT#2: I cant even play videos from the video camera. I might have gone a lil crazy with titaniumbackup and uninstalled the video player. What is it called?
Question with dolphin browser? Is there a way to listen to music on one tab while browsing another?
I wanna say no.. try using 2 different browsers in multi-window..that might work
Sent from my GT-N8013 using XDA Premium HD app
nope this cant be done, it would be laggy on most tablets with 2 windows even with the notes quadcore 1.4.

No this works fine. Just tested it out with stock Internet Browser in one small window streaming BBC radio music programme and then running Chrome in a second, large window (80% screen size). Everything works fine. No stuttering on the music and the browser works perfectly smoothly with multiple tabs, no lags. I don't even have a fast internet Wifi connection (around 4Mps total).
Don't have Dolphin but, if this is what you want to do, I'm pretty sure it will work with stock plus Dolphin as well. Just use the Multi-window apk to make the two browsers work together.

In addition if you use the advice in the following new post and pin both browser windows then you can keep the music playing in the background while browsing full screen.

Could also try OverSkreen Floating Browser.
I have a xoom UK WiFi. I'm running Omni 4.4.4 (I think).
I have an issue where any video I watch in any browser doesn't work properly.
Chrome/Chrome Beta crashes when I try
Firefox plays the video sound is fine but frame rate is like 0.5FPS
Stock Browser black window unless you go full screen, then it is the same is firefox.
Videos play fine in the Youtube app or from a file
I did a system update a while back and I think this is what screwed it up. It definitely worked before.
Any Ideas how to fix?
I am not sure the cause, but I have the same issues (with the exception of the 0.5FPS issue). If the videos work in Stock Browser, they play at the proper speed - sometimes I have to full screen them, other times not.
The resolution I've found for videos that do not play properly in the stock browser is to use Dolphin Browser and ensure that Flash is installed.
Chrome - I was having too many issues with it crashing/freezing (irrelevant of videos), so I gave up on it quite a while ago.
I haven't used Firefox enough to comment.
