I've checked around and haven't seen anything pertaining to this. 1. I enjoy downloading ALOT of stuff, but I have been met with much difficulty when doin so on my HTC view. The general site unavailable msg is what I get everytime. I have yet to successfully download anything from the browser...DRM? I've tried dolphin hd and stock no luck.
2. The xda app has turned into window shopping, I can't do anything but surf the forum until i wanna read a thread or change setting. Then it FCs on me.
3. I saw somewhere and noticed it myself, you cant turn off the network radio.
A: search for LTE switch on the market. It will shut of your radio without having to mess with airplane mode.
Anyone have any input?
I'm sure there's a simple fix for the browser downloads, anyone?
I've never been able to download much of anything with the stock browser. All apks and zips download as .htm for me. So, I started using Firefox to download and I haven't had an issue since. Not the best browser, but it at least downloads things properly.
If you getting constant FC's on the XDA app, you might want to wipe data on it and start over, that might fix it. I was having the same issue with Tapatalk and wiped, problem solved.
Thanks for the input. I successfully d/l'd an APK for the updated market and it worked properly. I wonder if there is a transfer cap on file downloaded....hmm been using dolphin HD any others you recommend?
If I can't dowload something in Dolphin, I shift to Firefox. So far it works.

Playing full flash content from browser other than skyfire.
Edit: Reverted back to original stock. I have called Samsung, and they have told me desktop browsing from the fascinate is not supported. Then they proceeded to tell me that Flash 10.3 is not supported by this phone. I was then instructed to revert back to 10.1. Now i have this whole chat saved, and would be willing to show it, but my anger got the best me. I look like a Giant D*CK. In all the trial and error i was able to do as a Fanny "noob", I have found out that No matter how hard i tried, with whatever browser i could download(other than skyfire), that you can not play full flash content from the original site. I have found that if you download the right hulu files, you can play most of the videos from typical t.v. sites.(example.. Fox.com, Nick.com, cartoon network...). I also found that you can play the full sites through skyfire. The videos were kinda grainy this way, and in a pinch it worked flawlessly. This phone has alot of nice features, but the guts of the internet experience were lackluster. It's weird where people make a line in the sand. This was mine. If you want to delete this entire thread, i would completely understand. If i am wrong about the flash content, sorry. I had a mod, and rescue squad member from another forum give it a go, and they couldn't either. Thanks to anyone who tried to help...

I have been trying for hours to watch videos on fox, espn, and others, and have had no luck. I have installed dolphin hd, set it to desktop, installed modded versions of flash, and still no luck, I have used the best of my google fu, and still can't find anything. The closest i have got is audio without the video. Is there some magic step that i am missing. I have just come from an incredible, and the fascinate is a whole other animal. I have had better luck with my nook color than i am having on this phone. Sorry if this has been answered 100 times, i just can't seem to find an answer. By the way I am on evil fascination 3.6 if that helps at all.Please, all i ask is an answer, can anyone explain why this is so hard for me?

Hmmm...If you're on Evil Fascination, it's kind of odd. My suggestion? Try the "UKB"/Community ROM. See if those issues persist. I've never had above mentioned issues, yet I tried Evil Fascination and had so many issues, it just wasn't worth it to me. Try a different ROM, see what that does.

If you are in the latest version of Dolphin HD, in order to get Flash to play videos, when you are in the browser, hit the menu soft key, go=>more=>settings=>page content settings=>enable plug-ins and choose either on demand or always (I prefer always)
I am downloading com rom now, tried other suggestions with no luck. i can get hulu to play through the widget, just not other sites in my browser. This is possible right?
Have tried suggestions, no luck. Can anyone tell me if this is even possible?
I don't know why you are having so much trouble with this. As long as you are on a Froyo build, have Flash Player 10.3 downloaded from the market, and have plug-ins enabled in your browser, it should work. It's a mystery to me.
So after staying up almost all night to solve this problem I still have no palyback of full episodes from sites like fox.com, and nick.com. I have uninstalled, and installed flash 10.3 from the market, and 3different modded apks. I have downloaded opera mobile, miren, and dolphin hd. I have altered the user agent in opera, clicked all appropriate boxes, and chosen desktop in both miren, and dolphin. I have changed to comrom 2.0 from EF 3.6. I know this sounds like a completely noob, but have had success rooting, and modding lots of androids, but this fanny's video situation has me confused. I try to figure stuff like this out on my own, but like landshark says in a post or two back, it should just work. I have not changed my string on standard browser yet, but I am not sure how to do it. Can somebody please throw this dog a bone?
I hate bumping this, but my window to take this phone back is almost over. If i can't play full episodes from my browser, i don't think this phone is for me. I am going to revert back to stock, restore to factory settings, and try one more time. I have come across a couple news articles that say that the samsung fascinate can't do all flash based content. Is this the problem? Does anyone on the fanny get full episodes in the browser. I can even get to hulu through dolphin, and watch the full episodes there, just not on the original site. The original site acts like it is going to play then stalls, sometimes crashing whatever browser i am using. I thought flashlights crashing this phone was weak, but if it can't do as much as an overpowered e reader, then how was this ever a flagship phone?
I don't know how dead set you are on using a custom, however I am running a rooted 2.2 fascinate with Opera Mobile, and I can play video from the sites you want with no problem.

It's not videos that is the problem. It's watching full episodes of TV shows that OP wants to watch. Apparently to the phone there is a difference.

Just FYI, using Skyfire doesn't mean your phone even supports flash. The way they do it is by transcoding the flash content to HTML5 and sending that to your phone, meaning you could watch flash videos even back on eclair.
jeremy check your PM at fascinateforums (if you haven't already). One of the members got fox.com working.

This is the second TB I rooted via the adb process. The first time I did this I ran into 0 issues.
I replaced my original TB about a week ago and went through the adb rooting process on my new TB. It seemed like the second time went smoothly when I rooted my phone. I installed the das BAMF 1.7 Rom after flashing clockwork. All went well except it didn't provide rosie setting app that allows users to select the right fixed homescreen button of their choice.
I decided to go back to das BAMF 1.6.1 since I was familiar with the Rom as it was the one I used on my original TB.
Now to the issues I've experienced:
I am unable to purchase apps from the Android market. I can download the ones I've purchased in the past or download any of the free apps on the market. But I am just not able to purchase a new app from there. A network error message pops up every time I try to do so. Irrelevant I'm sure but I have no issues with the amazon app store.
Browser issues. I'm not sure what it is but viewing select web pages forces my browser to shut down. When I reopen the browser it goes right back to my homepage, not the page I was just on. I've tried the stock browser, opera and dolphin. They all experience the same problem.
Apps closing on their own. Some of the apps that pull information directly from a website will close depending on what is currently being viewed in the app. Example would be the xda app. Some of the threads cause the app to close on its own and when I reopen the app it goes right back to the home view I set it to display, not he thread I was viewing. Another example of this is pulse reader...same thing is going on with this. I realize these app issues are related to the same issue I'm experiencing via my browser but its annoying none the less.
Anyone have any suggestions, experiencing similar problems or can be of any help because I'm stumped.

I would re-download the rom, wipe everything (data/cache/davlik) and flash the rom again. Download flash from the market, and that will stop your browser from closing randomly.
mother effer! of all things I did forget to download flash. that's a little embarrassing but thanks. I'll read download the rom tomorrow and give it a try .

Same thing happened to me, and I was wondering the same thing, D/L flash and all the browser problems went away.
On many websites the back button should take you to the previous page but it only reloads the current web page. As an example go to CNN.com non Mobile site and try to navigate back and forwarded. I find this same thing happening. On many websites. Is this for real? This is basic web browsing here! Why is this $600.00 super tablet not able to navigate websites better than my phone?
Thanks for any answers to this issue.
The back button generally doesn't function correctly when the page is flash intensive.
Will this be fixed and why would this be the case? It really annoying.

Does it work on XDA for you?
mine does that too. Xda is a site this often happens to me.
I had to change XDA to classic and now it works. Sad that this browser can't handle this basic function. I hope the soon to be released update fixes the browser issues and typing lag.
Same here. Its quite annoying
I have had this happen but only on the xda forums. It is comical how bad the xda forums are on an android device:
- can't use search
- can't use back button
- horrible scrolling lag
I guess they don't fix it because they want us to get the xda app?

Ok this is odd but it never worked on XDA for me. Then I reflashed back to stock Rom and pershoot's kernel and now back button is working perfectly. Works everytime on XDA. Not sure what did the trick but im not complaining
Mine does not work with [Odin]Stock EH06 Deodexed with CWM 3.1.0.1/Root/Busybox 1.19/Working Browser. In the browser that is. It appears to crash the browser. I would post this in the appropriate forum, however I have not made enough filler posts to.
Mine works just fine. Rooted, stock Verizon LTE 10.1. I usually use Dolphin Browser, but just tried my stock one and went through a bunch of cnn pages and xda pages... then went back, no problem.
I've narrowed this issue down to either the mod that removes ads from the browser or the UAString mod. Went back to stock deodexed ME and back button works fine.
..as the title indicates, and on this mod. i could install apps off android market & gameloft just fine though. it's just that whenever i try to dl anything (ie, from xda, multiupload, rapidshare, etc...) via the standard browser, it's unsuccessful/failed. tried at least 3 wifi networks already and results are the same. TIA to anyone who can shed some light!
Use firefox browser.

Try this off the Market.
https://market.android.com/details?...wsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5od2tyYmJ0LmRvd25sb2FkYWxsIl0.
I had this issue but this app will let you download just about anything, I think... well, it solved my problems.
Good luck.
I'm on an unlocked Tmobile S5 running on AT&T network w/ NE6 firmware.....rooted with towelroot but fully stock otherwise. No Xposed or any other modules. The only "rooted" thing I've done is AdAway.
Every time I try to load a web page that seems to have pictures or heavy graphics or even using the Facebook app on the phone, it either refuses to load or takes FOREVER. With the web browsers, sometimes I can hit the "x" button at the top and it will show the page (as if it were waiting to load the rest of the images and I stopped it....but it shows most of the page). With the Facebook app, just as another example, the text loads fine, but just blank spaces where the pics would be. Tried Facebook from browser and thought it was better, but only on the first part that it loaded....once I tried to scroll down, same issue.
I have tried 4 different browsers with the same result (stock, Chrome, Dolphin and Opera). I cleared Cache in stock recovery and seemed to help for all of 5 minutes. I have a Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 running stock 4.4.2 and no issues whatsoever....everything loads quick. I have an S3 running 4.1.2 and no problems either. This problem occurs with WiFi or LTE.....doesn't change. I tried every Google and XDA search I could think of.
Anybody offer any help? It is VERY frustrating. Screenshots of what it looks like below.
i have the same issue when google fails i go to dolphin yes it is aggravating.i un install them and then re install them but no luck.

You don't give us a lot of detail about your phone or browser configuration to go on but it sounds like a slow proxy. So more than likely your adaway proxy isn't working properly.
Completely disable adaway for a while to confirm. Alternately your carrier may have speed issues, contrast your results from a data vs known fast wifi connection then.

I don't know what other details to give that would be significant. Every browser used was/is used unchanged from the way it was downloaded from Play store, with Mobile user agent. My Wi-Fi typically is 30Mbs/2Mbs and LTE 20Mbs/8Mbs, and afore mentioned tab that works fine using that Wi-Fi.
I did unroot and seemed to fix it. If Adaway is my problem, is there anything I can do to address that? That is one of my primary reasoned for root. Or, is there another ad blocker available?

Troubleshooting is deductive reasoning based on observation, detailed facts and related knowledge. There are some astute members here, but none of them are telepathic, nor can they see the device that you are looking at. It would be in your own interest to provide as much technical detail as you possibly can so that they understand the nuances of what is going on and more effectively help you.
Pertinent details would include browser versions, proxy configuration, adaway build, carrier and city where you are seeing the issue, the results of disabling adaway and whether the issue is present on both data and WiFi connections, a logcat and any other factual details or observations that appear relevant.
