Anyone getting an annoying triangle-shaped black flicker across the left of the screen when viewing content on iplayer?
I'm using stock browser, Flash 11 stock 3.1 Tom with TouchWiz.
If so, any suggestions to clear it?
Thanks
Did you manage to resolve this issue. Just recently bought my tab and have the same issue.
I saw one fix which suggest to come out of full screen view and go back in (sometimes requires a couple of attempts).
The above actually works for me (requires to be done for every session). But would be interesting to know what the cause of it is. I have not experienced it in any other sort of video.
Same here
I have this problem also, really annoying.
Hopefully a future Flash player update will resolve this.
Same here, p7500 16GB. Same issue
All stock no custom roms tried at all
Signed, quite frustrating and only seems to be iplayer for me
I still have the issue but find the full-screen back to small-screen toggle seems to help. How annoying. The most recent Flash update didn't fix it, and the most recent ROM update in the UK (Vodaphone) didn't solve it.
Had the same issue on my 8.9 tab after an automatic update of Flash.
Uninstalled the update and all was well again.
Your mileage might vary on a 10.1 but here's hoping this sorts you guys out too.

Yes that also worked for me, however I do wonder what we are missing out on from the later releases. Hope adobe will release another update that fixes the bits it broke with the last update. Thanks.
Ive noticed this once on mine, but i had my bluetooth headphones connected and just thought it was interference from them. After i disconnected them and just used the internal speakers, it was fine again. Ive not had the problem since. My problem is with the iplayer itself, you cant keep it running in the background which prevents you from multitasking!

I have the black triangle issue with latest version of Flash Player. Can someone let me know what version of flash you are using to get rid of the triangle please?

I've been experiencing this problem ever since I've had the phone. More often than not, accessing the Gallery will cause the system to freeze and I have to take out the battery to reboot. I applied the OCLF and it seemed to help for a little while, now this phone is back to it's old tricks. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there something I can do to fix it? I'm running stock btw.
I personally have not seen anyone else post that issue. I had an issue before when pics would not show because Media Scanner was not running... the roms I am on lately seem to resolve that though (back then when I had the issue I used an app in the market to scan my media and then the pics would show).
You say stock, do you mean stock JI6... as in you have done nothing to the phone?
Maybe not an option, but why not try a custom rom and see if that fixes the issue... if it does not, unroot and tell Samsung what's wrong and get a replacement.
I usually hate when people mention getting replacements, but you sound like you have a legit problem and not trying to work the system.

yes, this is a common issue on stock 2.1.1 firmware right now, happened to me constantly, when it does this someone told me that when you open gallery, theres a memory leak bug which opens and then phone can't handle so it freezes.
Flash a custom ROM, i use axura 2.1, so far its been the fastest, most stable for me.
idk if this will work but ask for a gallery.apk from different roms where the leak has been fixed, and then try that, or just flash a new rOM.

i had this problem when i just wantes to use stock with root. this is actually common problem with ji6 roms that still use the stock gallery apk.for some reason the stock gallery in ji6 always tends to lock up.there's a fixed version of the apk floating around somewhere.
I had this same problem with JI6, but it went away when I updated to the leaked JK6. This or any recent custom rom should fix the problem for you.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
As i said its a memory leak bug, which has been fixed, you should either get a different gallery.apk from newer roms, or get a new rom.
I suggest a newer rom, but its up to you.
If you are running JI6, then this is a common problem for many people.
i had the same problem with my first and second vibrant, i updated to jk6 on number 2 and it went away.
can anyone post the apk to fix this????
Also interested in a the new Gallery .apk.... probably would have to push it using adb? I'm probably just gonna jump right on JL5 tonight.
Hi Guys,
Not sure if this happened to anyone yet. I looked through the threads but couldn't find anything.
Issue: Apps sometimes do not launch and require a restart.
Has this issue happened to anyone? Let me know if you have a fix. I thought it might be a problem with a patch or kernel. But my coworker is running stock and has the same problem.
Thanks...

I've had the same problem. It happened on a stock touchpad, just after installing the case, and placing on the touchstone. The app that would not open was the AccuWeather for touchpad.
I solved this by deleting the app, and re-downloading it. So far no problems.
fyi, just received the touchpad on 9/27.
thanks.....
I had the same issue and had a feeling that Accuweather was the issue considering it was not updating properly when on the touchstone.
Hi all, well finally some update came yesterday, I was really excited thinking the jelly is here, anyway I am happy at least is an improvement.
Usually when an update comes I try to see if all the apps work fine, however my sling player ( version 2.0.0.52) will only play on Sd,. HQ will connect and freeze on "optimizing".
My internet connection is fast, I tried to look around for solutions, but nothing yet.
Does anybody encounter the same problem, any solutions? Thanks

Galaxy tab 10.1 with Android 4.0.4
There are similar threads regarding HD video playability on latest ICS and no - there are no solution rather then going back to HC.
PS: Samsung rep (looks like non bright one but trained to read a script) suggested to do factory reset. You may try it.
Thanks I guess Sd will do for now.

I'm having the same problem with my Galaxy 7.0 + running ICS. Everything works perfectly EXCEPT the HQ mode. Another post says it is a port forwarding issue. But if it were, wouldn't the problem be on both SQ & HQ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473144

Thanks for the info Scott I shall in investigate further about the port forwarding settings in the router, but I think has to do with a software related issue more likely, since I couldn't find anything regarding any settings that will solve this beside the comment of the post you mention.
First off here is my info:
Phone: AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note i717
ROM: Cyanogenmod 10 quincyatt nightly build 12/23 (in attempt to remedy my problem)
Using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1958944&highlight=install+cyanogenmod in installed the 11//14 stable build initially without too much trouble.
I did find right away that I was unable to locate any camera application or any way to access it other than the lockscreen shortcut.
When I attempted to use the shortcut from the lockscreen it simply does nothing. It doesn't crash my phone, but it also does not open my camera.
I also tried installing a couple of camera applications from the play store and they start up, but the camera never activates.
This problem persisted even when I upgraded to todays nightly build 12/23, also so far I have noticed no new problems with this build as opposed to the 11/14 stable build.
I have searched for a solution for this problem in the forums, and perhaps I missed something, if that is the case then please direct me to the proper thread.
I tried posting this in the development section only to find out that I am unable to (I've been using this site for a while but never needed to register to ask a question).
If anyone has had this problem and/or knows how to fix it I would greatly appreciate your input.
I apologize if I have left anything out, if I have then let me know and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
Edit: I updated to the 12/24 nightly build today and it appears to have resolved the camera issue right away. If anyone else is having this problem then I hope this helps.
ill give $5 to the person that fixes this.

Well as I stated in my edit, the 12/24 nightly appears to have fixed this issue so far as i can tell. Also updated to the 12/25 nightly and the camera still works. One bad thing about this is that I have experienced more than a few reboots, but my phone starts up so fast afterwards that its a small price to pay for having my camera back.
As always, make a backup before you flash the newest nightly but I haven't seen too many problems other than the occasional crash of a couple apps and the unfortunate reoccurring crash of Apollo which is annoying.
Let me know if this fixes your issue, if it does then I'm glad I could help.
Tried CM10 nightly myself tonight, and was quite happy with it, until ....
Random reboots ....5 in 3 hours.
Camera is good, but the menu button was iffy ....
It's getting better, but I'm gonna stay with my backup for a bit longer I think ....g
12/25 is a bit sketchy

Yeah I decided to try the 12/25 build and didn't notice any improvements from the 12/24. Ironically about an hour after my last post my phone then went into a reboot loop that I couldn't stop until I removed my battery. I had to boot into cwm recovery and then reflash the 12/24 build. So far this is the most stable nightly that allows for the camera to work without causing too many issues besides one incident I had the first day I flashed it.
I recommend people stay away from 12/25 as it was extremely unstable in my experience. I may try the 12/26 build simply because I can, but I'll definitely keep the 12/24 on hand if that fails as well.
I've done as much searching on these issues and I cannot find anywhere that references my particular symptoms. I've tried both AOKP 4.2.1 latest release and supernexus 2.0, and the fact that the exact same issues happen on both roms I would assume it's either a 4.2.1 problem or just some particular issues with my device...
1.) just about every video playing app has some sort of problem. Biggest example being the Twitch tv app only playing audio, screen is black except for menu options. Trying to go back crashes the app. flash video embedded on Web pages (installed flash so regular browser supports flash) works until you try to watch full screened, which makes the browser lock up until you force the process closed. youtube, like the twitch tv app, will only show a black screen where the video should be, however everything else shows up fine (examples being menus and, most interestingly, the preview pics that appear as you scroll through the video show up, but when it buffers it's back to black screen) For the record, I had to install the fix here to get netflix to get even that far, as before it would just stick at the loading screen when trying to play a video.
2.) SwiftKey loses its languages after each reboot where typing does not bring up any predictions (boxes where they would be are blank), and the only way to get it working is to go into languages in SwiftKey settings and updating them. I saw some other places describing the same issues with jellybean but i couldn't find if there was a solution.
3.) connecting to my car via Bluetooth and listening to music (power amp currently installed), if i get a call while music is playing the device will lock up for several seconds and the only way to get everything back to normal is to turn off bluetooth once the phone actually starts responding, call the person back on the device, and then reconnect via bluetooth and continue the music only at that point.
Any help or guidance or info on any of these issues would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
if any of the issues I mentioned are discussed elsewhere that I just haven't found, would anyone be able to link me to the thread/article where it's discussed? or if there just isn't any way around it, let me know so I can just put an ics rom back on

Why not drop back to 4.1.2 rather than ICS?
Bluetooth is a know issue with 4.2. Never seen the swiftkey issue before, but quite a few apps are not compatible with 4.2 yet.
SwiftKey is a reported bug with the gs2

the video issue is the biggest issue in terms of affecting my day to day use, as i like to watch streams from twitch.tv as well as having netflix that works (has anyone seen or heard about the netflix issue i described? thought that was particularly weird...). I guess I could try a 4.1.2 rom before going all the way back to ics, but if it means more apps/features are stable and compatible compared to either version of jb, then that's the way i'd probably go. thanks for the replies

if you're referring to the fix i linked in the op referencing the stuck at loading issue where the fix is to install xposed, that was the only way i even got past the loading screen initially which brought me to the issue I described. if there is another fix he provided for the issue, i'd be interested in seeing the link if you could provide.
I switched to shostock3 using 4.1.2 and everything is working perfectly fine, so I guess all the issues, officially confirmed as problems or not, are 4.2.1 related. I'd still be curious to see if any further fixes exist as I definitely liked the supernexus rom and would love to use it if I can get everything working.

I'm having similar issues:
- SwiftKey works fine
- Google+ Hangout during a call video rendering is all glitchy, often freezes and crashes.
- Skype calls work fine
- Chrome freezes and crashes often
- Gmail Reply All either adds me to CC (if not updated to the latest version) or removes one address from the list (if updated). Saw other threads on this issue but couldn't fix it.
- Automatic timezone switches to GMT
Feels like most of the google apps aren't working for me, but rather than that the rom is cool would definitely want to fix the issues.
