hello everyone,
after looking for days I found Opera browser that works really smooth and has scroll to top and bottom buttons. But it's having problems with running flash content. the flash section of the page goes black. the videos play sound and see nothing does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Also Flash video is jerky in the official browser that came with honeycomb on htc view 4g does anyone have a fix for this?
thanks

Same problem here....
Sometimes if you double-tap the video (the black bit) it will go full screen and start working.
If you check the Opera website, the specifically say their browser does not fully support flash in HC and newer android versions at the moment (works great in 2.2, 2.3). I really like the speed and fluidness of Opera myself. I hope they get this resolved soon.
I experience all the same problems with opera. also the honeycomb bar button with the 4 lines doesn't pull up any options like it does in other apps. wondered if that was a bug.
The options are found in settings by pressing he big O on the left side.

thanks for that info tried to look on their website before posting didn't find anything. but what you're saying makes sense. hope they update it.soon. personally I think opera is the best browser for android.
I use Opera, too. If you click and hold the video it will usually play full screen in another window.
That said, I do hope that the Opera team get inline videos working again, as it's nice to have the desktop browser experience reproduced 100%.
SOLUTION!!!
I INSTALLED Flash 10.2 and flash is working fine on Opera now. opens flash content in streaming media player.
other browsers flash playback jerky any solutions? all versions 10.2 and latest.
YOOOHOOO THE LATEST OPERA UPDATE FIXES FLASH!!!!
At least it did for me.
Yep, Fixed my issues with flash as well on the HTC View and my Galaxy Nexus. Unfortunately, it did not fix it my Asus Prime. Matter of fact, completely removed the flash option on the ICS and prime.

Cool. I saw in the changelog for the newest updates that it fixed Flash for some devices. Wasn't sure if ours was included in that, and haven't had a chance to test it.

my first thread. just received viewsonic gtab. charged it turned it on and there was no option to update to 3588.i tried to update it but says system is up to date.. current version is 3389. when i connected to my pc i noticed on the root there was already a recovery and a update zip. file..also angry birds did not work out of the box it would just go to an empty screen. downloaded new one and works fine.somehow i also lost the stock video and pictures that it came with. i hate to go through the trouble of sending it back.. oh cnn videos work a little sluggish though. any thoughts thanks i do plan to add new rom but i got to figure problems first.. i am not very good and tech stuff. hope this makes sense. oh also there is a white spec that seems embedded under the screen protector,not visible when tab is on but bears another mystery.seems like this may have been pre owned. thanks hope to hear your guys opinion. cheers
At this point you might as well follow the instructions to put a rom on it. I didn't update mine but I just put clockworks on it and a rom. Yours sounds messed up already. Worst case you have to send it back.

I have a related questtion. I flashed vegan and did all the fixes, but I still have a small problem. Youtube app works fine, as do youtube videos when I surf there on my browser. However, YouTube videos embedded on other pages do not work (some gibberish code appears instead). Any clues?

Sorry about the double post, but I need some help figuring this out. My inability to play YouTube videos embedded in web pages only happens in dolphin HD (best browser IMO) but not on opera. Do I need some kind of a plugin? Or is there any other fix? Thanks in advance.
Hi, first of all sorry if this post is hidden somewhere but since i upgraded my tf201 to ice cream sandwish igot this problem : I can't play megavideo videos in fullscreen it just lead to a white page, on stock browser video works but after 5-10 mins the browser shutdown im kinda out of ideas. I tried uninstalling flash, dolphin browser hd, reinstalling both and tried iphone,ipad,android and desktop mode everytime with same result video hang then whitescreen gotta restart browser. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Anyone had this problem???
Have you tried with the Flash update that came out today for compatibility with ICS?
Is it a different version than the one from market? I just uninstall/reinstall flash and dolphin hd tonight from market thx for reply
So nobody got this problem since ics??
Try using a 3rd party app such as Mobo or Rockplayer. If that doesn't work try a factory reset. Also ask Jerdog to move this to Q&A as this is a question.
I am also having this problem on my tp running ics dolphin and adobe. everything is up to date and says that it will fix the problem, but it does not. it happens on random videos, some work in full screen and some white screen. I think it has something to do with the flash player because I did not have the problem until i installed adobe (it was needed to play some videos that are now white screening). Videos work fine until they go fullscreen. My stock browser works fine and rarely crashes. I just like dolphins ui the best.
Any fixes found?
I am also having this issue, have tried 10 browsers, it is happening in all of them when you try to play embedded video and full screen videos. Frustrating as hell. I am sure an update is coming that will fix it.
No Problems Here...
My TFP is working flawlessly since ICS, the HD video play pretty well without any lag. I have a bunch of them... try a clearing the data from the app.
You know, you should give us some kind of link or example so we can try some specific thing ourselves instead of just asking whether "videos" work for us or not.

Right, for example give use the Hd Video type you are trying to play...
It happens to me. Here's an example: if I'm at a page that has flash video, I will start seeing the video, hit the button for full screen, and the whole screen turns white, the video does not play.

thanks alot for all you're answers, i tryed a system restore yesterday with no success i already tried to push back and retry fullscreen didnt work as for the 3rd party i'll try that tonight same goes for the link ill post it tonight since im actually at work. Anyway the videos i tried was from animefreak website i tried using a different mirror (different player than megavideo) with same result. Ill keep you updated, thanks
Hitting back does nothing as the prime will freeze on a white screen. App must be rebooted to function properly.
I have seen this problem on pc due to the hardware acceleration option, i wonder if that might have something to do with it. Although it would be weird to have hardware acceleration on a flash player meant for a tablet. I tried to mess with the player settings but found nothing that would help.
Although the stock browsers is not so fun it seems to work so I would just use it until the issue is fixed.

I am just watching streaming on the default browser now
Waiting for adobe or dolphin to fix
im doing the same as susko using the default browser even if it crashes randomly when im watching videos. thanks alot for you replys every1
EDIT : btw, 3rd party softwares were just for local video, couldnt find how to open an url with them. Tryed megaplayer software but havent managed to make it work thanks
I have the same probleme yesterday. But i have an fix that works for me.
1. First deinstall over Apps the Flash Player.
2. Then install the flashplayer 11 over the market!!!
This is important because, if you open the browser without flash it ask you to install flash and with this package it doesn't work. I dont know why, but only the package in the Market work with fullscreen flashvideos!
I hope i can help you
EDIT:
It work for the first time, after it shown the with screen you describe
EDIT2:
It works, but only in the AndroiBrowser! In the other Browser only a white screen is shown.

I'm constantly switching between stock and opera atm...I like stock for quick controls so I have a full page of viewing and for flash but it seems like it stops responding frequently and then you click wait and then the browser is immediately responsive, I love opera for its fluidity and the start page but no flash is killing me
Sent from my rooted TF201
Opera mobile is by far faster and smoother IMO.... major issue is that imbedded youtube vids will still not play in opera mobile. Quite the annoyance. Without that it would be perfect.
Opera mobile still the best n fastest. crazy thong is we just got a flash update the other day which is to support ICS and flash still doesn't work right on opera. Opera mobile on my Atrix plays flash the best out of the other browsers I have on there.
Why does it seem that Opera mobile is the only one wth flash not working? I know one thing, Opera way overdue for an update as they haven't had one since November..lmao

If this is the case then Primes are the most inconsistent device I have ever seen..... My stock browser will pause for a full second sometimes before I can start scrolling whereas Opera seems to load almost instant and I can start scrolling right away.
Opera mobile is better but lacks flash. Also using the google search from the top bar always defaults to mobile, which I really hate, so I don't use it
Also thought I would share, for me flash works in opera but its wonky in order to see what your watching you have to click on it once to activate it, then click it again so it starts playing then you must be magical and click the expand to full screen button without seeing it and it will work just fine. I keep seeing ppl saying flash doesn't work, it does but not correctly they need to update soon tho

Anything that lacks flash sux by default. Not being able to watch special movies on my tablet gets a no go from me
For me, the stock browser was so much worse than Dolphin HD that I couldn't stand it for a second. For me Dolphin and Opera performed the same, and I dumped Opera.
ye opera is smoother then the stock browser of ICS... the stock browser will get stuck at loading pages for a few sec.
But the stock browser has more options then opera. Hope they will update the browser in the next OTA.
Q. Does opera support flash player like (own3d.tv) cause its not working for me... while the stock browser plays without prob.

You can easily change the default search engine from the ugly mobile Google site to the full one: Just go to the google.com desktop site, long click on the search box and select "add search engine" (amazing feature of Opera btw as it works with pretty much every other search box on any website as well). Then you have to hit Opera's search box at the top and hit the small google icon in the left and you can choose which search engine you want to use, including the just added full Google search.
On Honeycomb I use the stock browser 90% of the time which is smoother, has the quick controls and also the better rendering. But I'm really curious how both the stock browser and Opera Mobile will change when ICS finally hit my TF101, but I think I will still use the stock one more which should be improved again.

Thanks for this tip. It works to a certain extent, but it seems like it's impossible to set the new Google search option to be the default. Any workaround for this?

Let us know how you like Boat Browser. I initially used Boat Browser Mini on my Evo 3D and was blown away by how smooth it is. I love the simple UI. I'm kind of surprised that it isn't more popular by now.
I'm struggling to get anything to play from these websites. I know they rely on Flash and pretty much the stock browser is the only browser that can handle it.
But I have been unsuccessful at getting Comedy Central's The Daily Show website videos and CBS full episodes to play at all.
Any suggestions?
post links then ill try them out on stock browser, ICS+ browser, n boat browser to see if it works on mines

Try Dolphin HD from the market -- it can handle Flash as well. I know I got CBS.com to work at one point but I don't remember whether I was using stock or Dolphin. I'm at work so I can't test right now (firewall filters).
The only way I can view The Daily show on my Prime is through the Hulu+ app and even that requires a hack to get to work on the Prime.
How do the tablet world survive with such a lackluster of Flash support? Most sites I use rely heavily on Flash.
I just googled daily show, clicked full episodes in google result, watching full episode of daily show in stock browser right now, double click video to go full screen. I also just installed the newest update, the .14 one. I am in the US, 64 gb Amethyst grey.
I am also in power saving mode, this new update is doing wonders for me.
Edit: I also have my plugins set to on demand, so I get a white box with green arrow, I click it to start flash, works great for me.

Stock browser man, no + here. I can also use a program called stick it, which puts a small window anywhere on your screen thats sizable and movable and the video plays great.
Now at cbs.com when I click a video it asks what program I want to use to view the video. I use stick it so I can do other things while the video is playing in a small window in whatever I'm doing.
Now to make plugins on demand:
1) Launch stock browser, go to browser settings, go to advanced, go to enable browser plugins, click it, has 3 options, disable, on demand, and load I believe, make your choice and done.
Edit: Stick it
This program is really cool and works great.
Just updated to ICS .14 and testing this out on stock browser to provide my input but cbs.com goes to mobile version although some full episodes are in bits I can watch them.
If I go to setting and check off "Request desktop site" I get full site and can still watch full episodes.

Yes stock browser. When I updated to ICS .14 last night from HC .33 it asked me to download flash when I opened up the stock browser. I dont know if its newer than the flash update a week ago or so though.

I had a similar problem when I just got my Prime. I cleared data and cache for adobe and the browser, and that seemed to have fixed it. You can also try downloading Adobe AIR as well but I don't think it actually does anything even though some people recommended it. Also I DO NOT recommend Opera or Stock browser when using flash videos, instead try ICS Browser+ or Dolphin HD.
hopes that help

Hi all apologies if I'm doing this wrong by making a new thread for each question...
Basically, I use Chrome on my XTZ, generally lovely however I know it doesn't support flash..
I installed flash player and have tried some other browsers namely Dolphin and Firefox, but when I load a flash based video - it's simply not watchable and the web page completely slows to a crawl...
I actually had this issue with these browsers on my HTC One, but thankfully the stock browser on that runs flash flawlessly and is generally snappy.
Anything that uses flash properly I can use on my XTZ??
Thanks
Give Maxthon a try.

Thanks mate, your right works like a charm. If I can ask though - when watching some flash based video, some sites have a missing full screen icon...
gametrailers.com is one such website - any other way to force fullscreen without just using finger zoom?
