Since doing the upgrade to the new 2.1.2, i can no longer view flash heavy sites like IGN.com. When i try to watch a video review, the video will play for a while, then the browser closes out on its on. Its not a memory issues as i always have 110mb free before launching my browsers, and i have tried both the market version of flash and the droid X version. This same situation happens with every browser that i have tried so far. This has never happened with the previous firmware upgrade. Anyone else experiencing this issue??
Yes I get the same with my A70. Firmware 2.1.2, stock browser and droid x flash.
Mobile or full site? Just getting to the page or actually trying to view a video?

Yup, just went over to ign and tried watching a video review, after the commercial of dr. Pepper which played stuttery, it tried to load the video review and then force closed the browser.
And I'm using Droid X version.
Did you let Archos know? They will work on bugs, but only if they know of them.
My 70 is doing this before and after the update. Most frustrating.
Please guys update to2.1.3 actually works very good with flash! And i was just on ign.com and watched a vid very smooth.
I actually have default browser jumping out to desktop even with the old 2.0.71, this happens whenever there is heavy flash video content. The flash either caused the browser to jump out to desktop or it'll just display a "!" sign after playing the video for a while. I think both are a sign of out of memory.
i have this exact same problem, have no idea why
Update to 2.1.3 [as newfierideout said] it is worth it, And will probably solve all your problems.

Yes, I had the same problems with 2.1.2 and since 2.1.3, I can look Flash videos. But one time, the browser closed, too.

Updated to 2.1.3 same problem, browser force close trying to watch ign.com videos, it sees the ad video before tho
Edit: weirdest thing, i overclocked to 1200 and installed auto memory manager, set that to aggressive, and ign video review played, stuttering a bit seldomly with the speaker cracking sound. Then i tried a second ign video and the device crashed.

Same situation... agfer upgrading to 2.03 all works smooth with standard browser and Flash.
Some problem with Dolphin and flash... sometimes it closes.... but ... only sometimes...
I uninstalled the Droid version of flash and installed the one from the market, now I can watch ign videos! But it pauses/jerks sometimes lol don't know why.
I had trouble finding it in the market, even with the market fix, which I did many times.
Found this solution in archosfans:

In the applications tab, go to Market > uninstall updates > clear data. Open the market, you'll get the old version, after a few minutes Market will be updated. You should see Flash after the update.

I upgraded to 2.1.4 today and still get the odd web browser shut down when playing flash.
I think its more an issue of the flash not being the right one. Archos still hasnt released its verison of 10.1.
Meantime what versions are you guys using?

I just searched for flash,
Did u try the market fix if that didnt work? What about the other fix i posted above?
For some reason I couldn't find it in the market either.. I have tried to reapply the market fix several times, but still no go. I found the apk on another site. I have attached. This one really seams to work very well.

Thank ou so much. Very much appreciated.
I have tried the Market fix and according to the youtube video I can find all the hidden apps. Not this one though.
Im gonna give this one a go now.
Thanks again.
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.
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.

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.
Hi, here is a doubt / problem / question I have about the flash player in the TF prime..
I posted about this in the Android Q&A forum but I wasn't sure if that was the right place.. hence I thought I'll drop the question here as well, and I also saw the replies to threads in this forum is more than there..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1651191
Can some please help? Thanks in advance.
Edit:
I checked again and it seems the Adobe flash player is installed and working properly.
But when I try to run some Java tests or Shockwave player tests, they don't run and it looks like they aren't installed / aren't working properly.
Now, please forgive my ignorance, but is it that Java or Shockwave do not work on Android OS or browsers? I have tried this with Opera browser for android.
Thanks and cheers..
Edit 2
Ahh.. this is driving me nuts.
Now when I try to open Amazon Cloud Drive through the browser (Opera), it says Adobe flash player is required and it doesn't seem to be installed in the browser and I should get flash player..
Whats this all about? I have flash player installed I tried to check in Opera settings to see if there was anything I need to change / enable but I couldnt find anything relevant.
When I try to install flash player from that page in any case, I am not able to because it says the OS isn't supported!!!! WTH!
Edit 3
I tried with Dolphin Browser HD and there it seems to work without any problem - I can access the Amazon Cloud Drive folders for example and other sites and I don't see "no flash" error messages with Dolphin!!!
Hmm...
That was the only thing to do, trying another browser, like dolphin or Firefox
Yes, I have now checked different sites with Dolphin browser and they all work fine, while they don't with Opera!!
So probably I'll stick with Dolphin HD for those sites, for now.
Btw, while searching for a 'fix' for this issue, I came across many places which suggest Chrome Beta is also 'amazing' and 'wonderful' and the fact that once it comes out of Beta, it will be the stock Android browser? Is that true? And how is Chrome beta on an Android phone or tablet? Is it better than Dolphin or Opera, in all functionality?
Thanks and cheers.
Edit
Well, I guess I jumped the gun there.. I tried some flash and shockwave test pages.. Flash is working fine but Shockwave player test fails even with Dolphin HD.. uufffffffff... I'm a bit tired now!
