Anyone tried BBC iPlayer yet in HD?
You have to tell the browser to use the desktop site but the HD streaming is perfect!! I've seen laptops not manage it that smooth!
In love with my TFP!!
Where did you get the bbc iplayer from I go on the market and its not there
How do you do it, I can't find the instruction?
Something I am finding are many Android apps are not optimised for Tabs only showing in portrait mode when keyboard is attached.
Regarding the BBC iPlayer app I'm in the UK and its not showing in the market. Did you install the .apk rather than from the market? It's not showing in the market for me.

hes not saying the app
. He's talking about the website, and he's right, it works great now. Just request the desktop version of the website and then choose HD channel... works amazingly, and it was crap on honeycomb, so thanks I cs!

He's talking about watching the iPlayer via the web browser, which should work fine if you make the browser display pages as a desktop computer.
it works great, thanks for the heads up.

Yes, but how do you request the desktop version--I can't see any way to do it--maybe I'm just thick...
stock ICS browser top left has a menu button... click it to access a drop down menu then click request desktop site

Ah I see just tried it and it works in the normal browser in desktop mode.
Talking about webpages does anyone know of a good sync app for bookmarks so you can have the same bookmarks as on your PC?
I use xmarks on my pc's but I'm not paying a yearly subscription just to use it on a tab.
Not using ICS as I'm s/nless--With the standard HC browser I'm getting very choppy HD play back, despite streaming speeds of 10mbs... Opera won't play any iplayer content at all.

On ICS, bookmarks are now segregated between local and online. So I have my Chrome browsers synced to my Google account that the Prime uses, so I see those bookmarks. When I save a bookmark on the Prime, I can save it either locally or to my Google account.
So, syncing's built in as long as you're using the stock browser and Chrome on the desktop.

Ah I see what you mean I use Chrome also on my desktop and can see all my desktop book marks on my Prime now. Thats an awesome feature and takes away the need for any third party app.

The few things I've looked at are fine. It's the BBC which I'm having problems with--which is a shame as it's a prime use of the prime for me.

BBC iPlayer is working fine in my Prime browser I'm on ICS. I wonder if there is or will be any specific BBC iPlayer app for tablets might be optimised better.

I think the app is just not compatible with ICS, so I assume at some point they'll update it to work. It might not be tablet optimised, though.

Surely someone knows how to view HULU from the Tab? I saw the apk for Plus users... what about those who are not plus users?
What are you doing to watch on your Tab?
Seems crazy to me....
EDIT.....
Thanks to the below two posts I did some searching and found the DroidLu developer came out with this app:
FLASH VIDEO BROWSER
Testing it out soon....
I use PlayOn as my workaround...good luck with your search.

PlayOn seems interesting... is it worth the $50 fee for life? It is basically just a server so my ps3 and phone could see what the computer is playing right?

Better off with splashtop as it allows you more control of your home pc so you watch hulu, watch movies stored on your pc and also play some of your pc games...remotely
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
That is encouraging to hear... I got Splashtop when it was the free app on Amazon... never even opened or installed it. I will explore that tonight.
The app I put in the OP works.... you can see Hulu... but it is not prime time. Lots of hiccups.
Looks like flash browser was updated. Supports ics. Still doesn't play well with cm.
Looks awesome now!

Oh no, i do not have a provider through the app (AT&T).
I watch through the website (espn3.com)
Very nice, had been killing me (at least on my galaxy nexus) having to watch through the browser.
Yeah, it actually maximizes to fullscreen now. Quality is still not as good as the browser, but I'm having problems with the ESPN3 website (doesn't go full-screen and the video keeps on streaming even if I close it).

i figured out in the browser not to click on the full-screen button, but do double-tap the screen to make the video full screen
I really dislike the default browser that comes with the s3.
Previous phones I have ran aosp browser and the miui browser. Both were much better imo.
Just curious as to what browser you guys are using and why.
Thanks guys.

Dolphin HD
Give it a try, and you'll see why.
Dolphin HD is fantastic. Chrome in my opinion is ever so slightly more fantastic. I have both installed but Chrome is my default.
Chrome
I'm still using the stock browser for now. I will be however looking into other ones in a few days!
Chrome.
Tab sync FTW. (just wish I could also close tabs on my other devices too).
Just yesterday I was "snooping" on my wife using Chrome on my PC while browsing reddit, and I was checking out the tabs she was opening... 2xychromosome?!
I have tried dolphin browser and I am not too crazy about it. Never tried chrome for android, might give that a go.

Dolphin HD for videos (flash support)
Chrome for general internet usage

I used to be a big fan of Skyfire but they haven't updated their support for ICS yet. They seemed to also be a bit on the slow side but I stuck with them from their Windows Mobile days (HD2). Now though I use the stock browser and it allows for a desktop mode. Its quick and I have none of the downloading display issues I was having with Skyfire.
UC Browser.
Stock browser. It seems to do everything I need a browser to do on my phone
Firefox beta

Chrome. I just wish i could get the widget to load thumbnails for the previews.
Browser plus
t-mobile sgs3 stock rom/rooted
Chrome .. teh best.
Chrome because I tie it up with my PC
I use chrome as my default and dolphin hd whenever I need to load a page in desktop mode that doesn't work with chrome.
Dolphin HD is what i have refereed on all other devices. Anyone have any reason this phone would be better with a diff browser than I'm used to? Thanks

Chrome if you use the google features. If you don't use Chrome on a PC or doesn't know what it offers, then Chrome isn't really useful for you.
Opera
I am currently using the stock and the Opera mobile, looks like the former got too many bugs least of which is that can't locate my device for attachments and also doesn't show certain links.
On the other hand the Opera seems stopped supporting Adobe Flash player so no plug ins.
Any browser out there that can do all of this without problem?, thanks.

I find Boat to be the most functional, lightest, and quickest.
Before I just use Dolphin HD but now after all the Mobile and desktop bookmarks are sync I just go all the way Google Chrome
Using Maxthon browser for almost 8 months now, won't ever change it, it is the best browser for me, try it.
Maxthon,ok will give it a try,still couldnt find the perfect one..hope this one is better.
I tried Chrome, but for some reason it feels really laggy on the Note. It worked fine on SGS2 and GNex. So I'm just using stock, I hate the tab management but at least it works fine. Anyone have any browser with desktop/tablet style tabs?

With all their shortcomings I am back to using The Stock Browser and Opera Mobile these two seem to complement each other.
Anyway thanks for all the suggestions.

Text reflow is not needed if you do a proper configuration in the stock browser's Settings ~ Accessibility.

Since updating my S3 to JB, all YouTube videos open in the browser instead of the app. How do I get them to default to the app instead?
I've tried resetting app preferences, Internet browser, YouTube app and nothing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Had the same issue. When you browse by Firefox, it does the same but in the last instance before playing the video then finally opens it in YouTube player.

You can blame apple for that. It was included in their lawsuit so it was removed from stock browser. Dolphin browser does the trick for me.

Agreed. I also think the default browser is still the best. Don't like that Chrome doesn't have an intelligent full screen mode like Samsung's browser.
Any fix for this yet? Really don't find Chrome as smooth or quick, but need the YT app since the video quality is so much better than the browser version...

I bought an S3 just because of this lawsuit. Would buy an Iphone, after the lawsuit i searched more about GS3 and discovered how much better it was :laugh:
Go to settings --> apps --> all --> browser --> clear defaults.
Now go back to a link to a YouTube video and now choose the YouTube app selecting "Always".
