[Q] 10.2 flash issues - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm having trouble getting the S2 to accept the flash 10.2 upgrade. The android market successfully detects and then installs the upgrade to 10.2. However if I go to the BBC website and try and watch any sports news, it says it is still running the old version.
Am I the only one getting this? I've even done a full wipe and tried it again, but with the same result.
Regards

i had trouble with flash as well but first check your setting on web browser and allow plugins. by default the flash/plugins is disabled.

[Q] Android Market 3.1.3 on SGS2

Has anyone installed andriod market 3.1.3 on the sgs2 in the UK?
If so, does it work?
Installed it last night, it's a slight improvement on the previous version which was a nightmare, there is still some lag which needs to be addressed, only a slight improvement.

Have you had any issues in installing apps with regards to clicking on an app, then clicking the install button, and then you just get the loading screen, but it never actually goes through with the install?
This is the problem i keep getting - i flashed the stock firmware on last night and it updated the market but fails to pull all my apps back from my google account...
Only way i can get them to install is via the market website through pushing them over the air...
Be interesting to know if this is as a result of the KG6 firmware i flashed before going back to the stock, or whether it is just a bug with the new market...
All works fine for me, on stock 2.3.3
Where can we get the apk with this new Market?

Try clearing the Market cache...
settings > applications > manage applications (all tab) > market > clear data
Can you add the apk for direct download?

I got something like that.
I flashed my SGS2 to the latest XXKH3, wiping user data and cache. The first time I entered my google account my apps starts installing itself over wifi (so far so good)... During this process I launched Android Market app to see the progress, and I see the Android Market app updated... nice! But I saw that pending downloads with no progress. I switched wifi off, and the downloads continue over 3g connection... But I don't want to use my data plan downloading apps, I back to wifi but still the problem, no downloading progress...
I cleared cache for Android Market, but the same behavior
Any solutions will be appreciated... thank you

I got exactly the same issue.
This is what prompted me to go back to stock as I presumed it may be something to do with the unofficial version of KH3 causing the problem, but after going back to stock i still had the problem.
However, after leaving the phone alone for a couple of hours it seems to have fixed itself, and i can now download via wifi (albeit i'm testing it using a mates tethered sgs2).

Flash not working on Prime

I just purchased a brand new Prime and am having problems with flash not working. It is still completely stock, have not rooted or anything yet.
I have tried 3 different browsers (chrome, dolphin, and stock browser) and flash works in none of the three. When i go to Adobe's flash checker I do not see the video that needs to be seen, it's just a grey box. I made sure all the updates are installed through the play store. It is version 11.1.115.17 right now.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

did you try a reboot after the software install? I know you shouldnt have to but it never hurts.
Yes, I uninstalled Flash, rebooted, re-installed flash, rebooted, updated flash in market, rebooted. I made sure in the browsers that javascript etc is enabled
Does anybody have any other ideas??

No, though I do notice you mentioned trying it in Chrome. Flash is not supported in Chrome on Android. So even if you get it to work it will work in Dolphin or the stock browser but not Chrome. And in 4.1 Chrome replaces the stock browser so if you want flash I'd forget about the other two and concentrate on making it work with Dolphin.
Have you tried all the methods in this thread? You may need to be rooted for some of them.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846225
So Update, I just opened my Tablet, and there was an update for Dolphin, I proceeded with the update and it seems that flash is working now on that browser, atleast on the site that I needed it most, my college class site, more tests will be ran
Thanks to everyone for their help

[Q] Vodafone 4.1.2 update - phone unusable

I believe the Vodafone UK 4.1.2 update has only become available this week, updated mine last night OTA - previous update was OTA and worked fine. I constantly get the 'Unfortunately android.process.media has stopped working error' and it's also not keen to load the keyboard, and the battery life is now hopeless.
I've googled the error message and I can see that it's a common problem, and the poor battery life is linked to the error message I'm constantly getting. I've tried to raise a thread on the Vodafone Eforum, but there seems to be some problem trying to login at the moment (the forum software has always been hopelessly slow and glitchy).
After all my googling, despite it being a common issue, I can't seen any real solution - can anyone help?
Re-flash the 4.1.2 firmware via Odin. But this time go inte Recovery and wipe data/cache and Dalvik cache if necessary before flashing.
You're right it's a common problem, and wiping usually fix it. Try it.
Cheers.
Thanks, I presume Odin requires the phone to be rooted?
This is the first android phone I've had where I've been happy with the standard rom. I've connected to Kies and it seems to think there's a further update available, I'm backing up and I'll try this first.
If that doesn't work I'll be looking to root and try some of the custom roms.
Ok try Kies update.
And NO, Odin does not require your phone too be rooted. You can although root your phone via Odin.
Cheers.

[Q] Flash Player Issue

I need some help. I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (Version 11.1.115.69) installed on my stock (rooted/unlocked) Verizon Note 2.
On some videos (that are not a mobile version or through the video player) I get this issue where the sound works fine, but the video is completely messed up. It looks like a bunch of colored lines. The lines move as the video goes along. I don't know what to make of it because it only happens on some videos. Also, this has happened with every version of Flash that I have ever tried (which is all of them, as far as I know) with this device. Anyone else have this problem? In any case, can someone on a stock Verizon Note 2 please go to the page below and try and watch the movie? The lines problem has happened every time I have gone to that page and tried to watch the movie, both on the stock browser and with Dolphin Browser. I attached a screenshot of what happens below.
http://viooz.co/movies/19479-monster...sity-2013.html
Any help regarding how to fix this would be most appreciated!
By the way, that movie is an excellent sequel to the first Monsters Inc. and I recommend it.
(And there is no need to freak out about not paying to watch the movie; I am planning to purchase it for my Nephew in the near future.)

I would venture to say that the problem is the site not flash. So far I haven't run across this problem. Try clean wiping and re-flashing. Also what stock rooted ROM are you running?
Hey. Most likely if you are running stock verizon bloated touchwiz, verizon likes to include a file/apk that is hidden that blocks flash player. To get rid of this you generally have to be rooted. After rooted you can either install a custom rom (any will do) OR if you want to stay stock you can use titanium back up and browse through your list off applications. You will noticed a "flash disable" application in red or something like that. Selected it and uninstall it. Once you do that you should have the flash player working properly.

It has happened to me on far too many sites for it to be their fault. I am on 4.1.1 I605VRALJB. I haven't updated my phone since I bought it in December (bad experiences with updates from Motorola). While this problem is frustrating, I don't think I want to wipe my phone just yet.

There are two apps that have the world flash in them. I froze them both with My backup Pro and it didn't fix it. Any idea what the name would be if it didn't have the world flash in it?

What are the names of the apps? you might have frozen the app that runs flash which you want, and then youll have also frozen the app that blocks flash, so over all do you have no flash? (I dont know exacly im just speculating now from what ive read youve done)
edit: maybe try some simple things first, use yet another browser, such as nakedbrowser- its fast and flash works great in it. i would say maybe try unistalling then reinstalling flash, to a newer version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190346 i forget its not on playstore anymore. mines currently at 11.1.115.48

The names of the apps are:
com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService (v1.0)
and
FlashAnnotate (v0.8.6) and FlashAnnotateSvc (v0.8.4)
I tried that browser and it still had the problem, both with that version of Flash and the newest one. I think I'll need to re-flash eventually.. I was hoping to avoid it.

yeah ok well thats where my knowledge really ends as to what might be happening.
I understand your hesitation, but if flash is a thing you really want then that alone could be a reason to update. I have not had or seen any instability, or experienced any glitchyness myself and I have also only stuck to the touchwiz roms (simply personal preference). 4.1.2 on this device, well there isnt anything to fear, no getting burned here. lots o great roms to check out.
edit: oh and one last word if you want to stay as you are. did you try the 115.48 flash version?

ok I havent really worried about flash i guess on the custom roms there must be some libraries or plugins or something to have flash fully functional.
Make a full nandroid back up of what your on now. Im not 100% positive but if you want you can then just flash back to 4.1.1. Make sure you restore with the same version of the custom recovery you backed up with if you want to go baack.
You should probably also search that question. I believe it has been answered several times. I might have seen it in passing.

Right, because the backup backups the OS as well as your phone memory. That has always boggled my mind. So I could just restore that and be good.
One last question: When installing this update, I probably don't want to be unlocked, right? I know I can temporarily unroot so no problem there.

yes your nandoid will save the image of your system and data(if thats what you mean by phone memory) so youll restore you to that state.
no if your bootloader unlocked and all that, leave it. I recommend looking over droidstyle guide too, i usually do every now and again just to refresh my mind. You can simply flash a stock 4.1.2 rom check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387635 so look for one that is basically untouched except for being rooted and unlocked still. You can also try out any 4.1.2 rom too
Nah, jumping between threads is fun!
But seriously, is it completely necessary to factory reset before flashing that?

Yup. Sorry for late resposnse. So um id suggest if you havent don anything yet. Update to latest recovery proabaly twrp since 8ts easy to use and it seems to be the most versatile (but some customs roms prefer clockwork) then back up efs modem boot system data for a full image of your 4.1.1 so you can be fully backed up. Then do the factory data reset wipe cache and dalvik in recovery after. Af6er wipe then flash rom.
Since you are rooted, you can download the latest version of flash and run it from the stock browser. Chrome has issues with it. I prefer the stock browser as it does exactly what Chrome does but with flash support. And I would suggest atleast upgrading to a 4.1.2 rom. There were alot of bug fixes between the 2.
I'm pleased to report that I flashed that 4.1.2 ROM and the flash player issue is gone.
I was pleasantly surprised to see my sdcard0 remain untouched after I wiped data from custom recovery.

Flash Player Issue
I think the problem lies with the website. Viooz.co is full of malwares and other viruses. I hate those pop up ads which just pop out on just one click.
There are many websites which you can rely upon :
www.solarmovie.me

Need advice. Having trouble with downloading videos I own on google play movies app

So, I've been having issues off and on with google play movies and downloading movies I'd had on here previously. For a time everything worked fine, slow but fine. Then this started. I decided I'd try another rom. Then I start getting "can't fetch license -1". cleared cache in play services, movies and all of that.
Now, I'm thinking that I may just revert back to stock, (I'm not rooted, running TWRP latest version, believe I was running slimkat or a cleanrom. Anyways, big question is what's the easiest/best solution? If I go back to stock firmware, now on cm 12, do I need to treat the Tab as if its rooted or can I just download, wipe and flash older firmware? BTW, I've used ODIN, adb etc. before on a few old phones with no problems it's just been a long time. Thanks in advance for any help!
