Flash content problems - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi i recently updated to version 2.3.4 via Kies since then i have been having issues with Flash based content specifically YouTube videos.
When i watch videos in the YouTube app the videos have constant stutter where the it will be smooth then pause the smooth and so on.
Its not just limited to the YouTube app. Videos in the browser on anything higher the 480p are impossible to watch. With constant slowdown and pauses. Not all YouTube content in browse r is like this Vevo music videos even in 1080p are perfectly smooth like everything else used to be.
I have everything updated im just wondering if anyone has any ideas. I have already done a factory reset and tried watching videos without updating flash or YouTube app no change.
Im not rooted completely stock any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou.

I find it a little strange that nobody answered that question yet.
When I thought back, when my SGS2 shipped with Android 2.3.3 , flash content ran ultimately smooth in stock browser, even with 1080p. Now I'm on Revolution ROM 2.7.1 (Gingerbread 2.3.5) with Siyah Kernel 1.7.7, and flash content runs horrible.
During playback in stock browser, the videos stutter all the time! There is a small but annoying trick to get it smooth: scroll a little up and down, keep your finger on the touchscreen all the time. now you can see that the video runs great, but you have to keep your finger on screen during the whole playback!
Had the same issue with CM7 and MIUI, too.
What is the matter with that?!

Come on, is there no one else here being a little pissed with this issue, too?!
Compare your browsing experience with that:

The Firmware is at least 6 months old, but browser performance is far superior and the stock browser has this fancy rotate animation, too!

[Q] HELP!.Need Youtube Working

I wanted to play YouTube videos on my A7HT v1 and found that version 1.3 works.But the videos do not play in fullscreen.some are small while others are large. .I also tried using Skyfire browser but the video quality is bad in it.
Then i switched to 2.1 beta 6 ROM(you can find it at archosfans forums) and noticed that the YouTube app in it displays videos in fullscreen but the videos cannot play on any ROM higher than 1.5.
Now i have decided to decompile the 2.1 apk,copy the properties that tell it to play in fullscreen and paste those into the 1.5 apk.So can any one guide me on this.
Thanks
Make sure that your browsers are up to date. Im not much of a youtube user but I think that they just started using HTML5 for the videos as opposed to flash. So if the app is working but the browser isnt, that could be why. Aside from that, try to empty the cache for your browser or the app? This might not be related directly to your ROM, I have heard a lot of people (running stock roms) complaining that youtube has been broken on their android phone. Does it work in your stock ROM?
Hope this helps, but I doubt it haha.

Video Quality

Just got my G-Tablet today and installed a few different roms on it with no issues (first time with a droid device! These forums and gtablet for dummies have been a very big help) but it seems that all the videos from say youtube or any site for that matter play with low quality. If I go to youtube and watch any clip that is suppose to be HD and open up the video it looks like 360p on my tablet (sorta blocky/ugly but plays fine). I can't select 720/1080p etc on the video. It just lets me click play and then it goes full screen. In the top right of the video it says "HQ" but it really isn't.
I'm currently using Calkulin + Clemsyn Combo Overclock at 1.5 ghz V6 ROM (flash works) and everything works pretty darn good. I tried CM7 and Vegan 7 and couldn't get flash to work at all and the video quality was poor as well.
I've tried playing the videos with the youtube app and 4 different browsers all to the same effect (opera, dolphin hd, firefox, and the broswer that came with each ROM). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ps: I searched the forum for my exact problem and did not find any threads on it. Sorry if this seems to be a recurring thread. I'm also use to my iphone 4 which plays videos in very good HD quality and the only reason I'm switching to a droid tablet instead of getting say an ipad is 1. price and 2. customization.
anyone have ideas?
If you look around there is something on HQ video. I think until they get the proper drivers it will not work in HQ.

[Q] Phone locks while playing videos in full screen!Help??

So i am running Resurrection Remix v9.1 (ICS 4.0.3) in my galaxy s2. Everything is good, except that when i play a video in any internet browser and then switch it to full screen. The phone locks while playing the video. So its like the phone doesn't recognize that there is a process going on and does the auto-lock.
This doesnt happen when i play videos using a video player or in youtube or anyother app. Just for flash videos in the browser.
Does anyone know how can i fix it? Any Help is appreciated.
ask in resurection remix rom section....
This happens on all ICS roms i think. I have this issue too on the official ICS...
Just checked the Asus padphone video in browser with screen off time set to 15 sec. Watched more than 2 minutes without problem.

PlayOn Troubles

My issue pertains to a particular ROM, but since I haven't yet met the threshold for posting in the development forum I thought I would try here. Also, thanks to all the folks who put together all of these things for others.
I use PlayOn to transcode/stream video content from my PC to my E3D. Since installing MeanROM ICS (version 2.0 at the moment). I have not been able get any videos to playback. I can see the preview images and the play button is responsive. When I click the preview image it asks me what video application to use (ES Media, MoboPlayer, Stream Media Player). Regardless of which one I choose, they all just sit there until the screen turns off. I've verified that Flash is working by browsing to YouTube mobile site and playing a video. Also, I've flashed a CM9 nightly and it had no problems. Any ideas?
Update: I tried MeanROM 4.3 GB and it works fine. I believe it has something to do with the DLNA middle layer, but I'm not sure where to look.

[Q] HD videos from youtube choppy after upgrade to ICS

Hello!
After upgrading to ICS 4.0.4 the video from Youtube are playing not smooth. This happens only to HD videos, SD videos are okay. This happened after I upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 from 3.x. Before that everything was good. When I enable "Show CPU usage" in "Developer option", I see that skipping frames starts when mediaserver uses the cpu (I attached a screenshot). Tried to to "Factory reset" - did not help. When I did factory reset, tried to watch any HD video - same thing. I use the tabled only to read news and watch something from youtube. Some other application are installed (for Kids).
WIFI signal is strong, I see that video is buffering ahead of playing, not rooted.
Question is - what to do to fix this issue with ICS 4.0.4 or how do I roll back to 3.2 or even to the ROM that was in the box when I bought it.
You cant really fix it if you are not rooted. Samsung's fault.
The only way of fixing it is going back to HC and rooting and installing Custom ICS or JB roms did not help at all for me.
In HC, the Youtube plays smoothly in the app, but still lags in the web browser..in www.m.youtube.com
In ICS and JB, both options lag like hell.
I downloaded Pimp My ROM from google play, and set everything possible that is present to make the tab faster and perform better, and the youtube is a little bit better now, but still there are lags. It's definitely better though.
But still, Youtube in HC plays better.
