Videos dont play on the web - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I have played with my new Galaxy S3 4G now since yesterday and i have a mix feeling about it. First of the videos on the net
Ex: http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/04/lg-optimus-g-att-hands-on/
This i can play on my iPhone which dont have flash but i can not see the video on GSIII. Why is that?
As i understand i cant download Flash either nowdays (actually i hate Flash but i'm puzzled how my iPhone can play them?)
Lastly my GSIII 4G is crashing quite allot, only today i think it happened 3-4 times (even after it updated to latest SW ALI9). I'm just doing a call using Bluetooth or going to options and enter a menu or start the camera....
I'm not all that impressed with the stability to be honest!

You have to install flash, Google is your friend. Hint flash and apk

Either that or just download the lastest and last updated player from the market!! Never understood why people felt the need to get it else where as this is the last & most up todate version. (I know i downloaded both and there are the same)

Are you using the American s3? If so you are in the wrong forum, don't flash anything on here.

Thanks for the link, will try it a bit later. It seems its not working very well on other browsers then Dolphin though, and to be honest my phone is already very buggy and crashes allot so i'm not sure now if i want one more crappy software on it (yes i hate flash to be honest)
I use the global (EU) Galaxy S3 4G model (black color). I'm really disappointed how unstable the OS/software is really. It crashes like once every hour now. Maybe its the Bluetooth headset that makes it jumpy. When i'm on the call it crashed twice and fast re-booted, call was up but transferred to the phone. The sound was badly distorted so i had to hang up and reboot the phone before i could get good sound. Going to test more without Bluetooth now to see. But overall it is unstable even when doing other simple tasks.

I am on 4g. I also think I am on the wrong forum. I am using the american sg3 on t-mobile. I have put my phone to 4g only. That my have something to do with it

I replaced my phone with a new one and its working perfect now. I just had bad luck and got a bad sample.

Didn't know some roms had it built in. You could always just use one from the market. There are a few options (Tango, GTalk video works if you enable it, ooVoo, yahoo messenger has a plug in, and I'm sure there are others).

Sounds like your front facing camera is blurry? Try it in regular camera app...if it is still blurry, you probably have a hardware issue. Condensation inside camera lens? Scratches or blurring from a screen protector?

In addition, his poor english leads me to believe he's probably an I9100 user, not an I777 user.
There are VERY few I777 users who are not native english speakers, since to own an I777 you need to have either:
1) Purchased from AT&T
2) Purchased from a native English speaker on eBay

S Voice

So I installed the new s voice.apk from the gs3 this morning. The app seems to install and work properly except for "connection to server" errors. Does anyone have this working on their 7510?
Everybody, on any device, is having network errors.
Mine was working last night on multiple devices, now it's network error all over.

Hey there pals, don't know if you have seen this floating around, but apparently the S-Voice app from the GS3 was leaked.
Its not very stable.. crashes and what not when you try to change the wake up command..
And you can fix the Server error by changing (in build.prop) the ro.product.device and model to GT-I9300.
Just something to play around with hehe
Haven't tested it on my old SGS4G so I'm not sure about your results.. Anyway, have fun tinkering! Maybe one of the sexy devs can get it fully usable for you guys

flash of camera doesn't work

Hi everybody,
The camera flash of my new Samsung S3 haven't worked since the first day I've got my new phone. Factory reset didn't help The phone is in repair now, but I 'm wondering - did anyone have the same problem, or it's only my bad luck.
Thanks!

Try a flashlight App from the market then you'll know if it's just cam software related.
You're the first one I've heard of who has a broken LED light, so it's not a common issue.
However even with the most rigorous quality control, when building several millions of a device there are a few bound to be broken upon shipping or have loose connections.

It's not that it won't play stock, it's because it is being phased out by Adobe. They canned it from the Market sometime in August and will no longer be making regular updates to it, in order to progress movement over to HTML5 content.

well if it will play a flash video out of the box then why do we need Adobe
I know it wont work with the build of chrome but is there anything we might be able to mod or adapt so chrome will work with it? Not a developer at all, so sorry if this question is blatently stupid lol. Thanks!

Actually, Adobe and Samsung made an agreement to keep Flash updated for the Galaxy S3, which also means for the Galaxy Note 2 as well since they have almost identical hardware/software. Flash was just updated again a couple weeks ago to .34. I've been using .29 on my devices.
And even though the latest Flash versions are only for the S3, they will work on most any device running Jellybean.
The following thread is keeping updated with the latest versions of Flash, along with text and video tutorials on how to install:

I also experience lag in the YouTube app. Switched to the app Viral, and all is good.

The YouTube app does not on 4.4.2, nor has it ever on 4.2.2, lag. There is no lag in HD video, as long as your internet speed can handle it.

Lol. I love people telling me how I should perceive my phone.
I have 5 smartphones in the house, and this is only one with the issue.
I'm connected to the Internet through a 50 Mbit fiber optic connection and last time I checked that is sufficient for YouTube.
It lags at my end period.

You are allowed to perceive whateverthehell you want. I didn't quote you, I was responding to the thread question, and the OP's original thread. And out of that other 6 page thread, maybe 3 or 4 people said they experienced lag. Most likely, all things considered its YOUR phone, not an problem with G2's in general or a version of JellyBean or KitKat. It's a small set of people who experience odd lag, which is extremely hard to remedy when no one can reproduce it.
That said, I have not experienced any YouTube lag at any point with any firmware on this device. That's all I said, but it may not be what you "perceived".
There are many on forums who experience the same.
The odd is only youtube 5.xx lags, the 4.xx doesnt lag

Have you tried on KitKat? If it is out for your phone, give it a shot. Who knows, maybe it will resolve your issue. I have not seen or spoken with these people and the overwhelming majority do not experience such lags. If it is an issue with the firmware flash that was initially flashed by LG when it was new, then upgrading to the KitKat may resolve the issue. Likewise, if a person with no lag gets a bad flash of KitKat, it could create the same lags that do not affect the majority.
For what it's worth. It never lagged on AOSP 4.4.2. I flashed a stock ROM, and boom, lag. I'll test again on the new ROM I just flashed.
Lag still there, at least from me, i've install an inverted apk of youtube and lag is gone.
