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.
I never had this with the stock browser but noticed it immediately after upgrading to Touchwiz KMB. It happens very often. I have to click on a link many times for it to actually load. Anybody else experiencing this problem? I'm using Starburst ROM.

I think the browser is slower to load a page than stock...also it crashes everytime when i click on a drop-down menu
It's not lagging or slow. Links just don't start loading and I have to click on them multiple times.
i dont experience this problem on any websites except Blackboard for school. I used to not be able to download anything with the stock browser from that website but with the touchwiz update I can by clicking slightly below the actual link but it still takes a couple of tries. If you use opera it allieviates the problem
I don't want to use Opera or any other 3rd-party browser. I don't know why I'm the only one to experience this (it seems). It's not a touchscreen problem since the link blinks showing that it's been clicked but just not loading. Guess I'll reflash Starbust, if that doesn't work, I'll just go back to stock 3.1.
I just started using the Dolphin for Tab beta browser, and it's so much better than the stock browser. I do have one major issue with it though. Almost every single time I use it, the back button will not work. (I've tried not the one on the taskbar and in the browser itself.) At most, it might scroll up the page a bit.
Any ideas guys? Thanks in advance.
I don't know. I don't have this problem on dolphin for pad. Have you tried rebooting or uninstalling the app and then reinstalling it?

I had the same thing. I think its a bug, similar to like when certain roms and kernels work on certain tabs and other dont. Its nothing too serious, but Im sure they are still trying to figure the browser out for all tabs
Having the same problem. I have to wail on it several times to get it to work. I think the only change I made was to install the LastPass plugin (since it was working, as far As I can remember). Rooted CWM TPT.
Hi, I have a problem opening embedded videos link to some websites, these videos are consist of several video file which are downloaded tv programs and are played one after the other automatically after a single click of the link... I am using android 4.0.3 and sense 3.6 custom rom (GSM).... I do not have this problem before when I am still using my GB 2.3.4 stock rom.
I am thinking maybe the custom rom missed some codecs or plug ins or anything I dont know....may be there are somebody out there who can help solved this problem.... I know there are a lot of very knowlegeable DEVS out there who can solve this..... without dropping a sweat...
If you might post a link to the videos it might be easier to figure out where the problem lies. I wouldn't expect codecs to be the issue with youtube/flash videos on the web. Have you tried using different browsers Stock/Dolphin for a start?
Thanks... actually after I posted I tried using the browser that comes with Mwakious ROM the open it and it works.... but trying it again on OPERA mini.... doesnt respond at all ...and google chrome which pop a "no plug in installed" message... so.... youre very very correct to have suggested a different browser... thank you again.

Different browers handle things differently, for example some stuff that does not display correctly in Dolphin, which I'm mostly using, display fine in Firefox.
Did it work fine in Opera before you switched ROMs? Or didn't you try to view them before?
I am having an issue with stock ICS and MeanRom 2.6 with the browsers and I can't seem to find a solution even after searching. I do not have the problem with GB ROMs.
Every time I try to open a link inside a webpage like NBCNews I have to hold link and tell it to open it instead of the link just opening up after clicking on it. Same thing if the page has a drop-down menu for more stories and such. I know it's got to be some kind of setting I am missing but all the browsers seem to do this for me so I keep going back to the GB ROMs.
Any ideas on why this happens? Everything else works great but this browser bug is annoying.
AW: Browser and ICS ROMs
I also had this issue once...
Not quite sure, but do u have adblock or similar installed?
I think that was my problem...
If so put the side(s) on the white list^^

That's the linking issue that Apple sued HTC over and it's been fixed in a lot of the custom ROM's. Google search for "htclinkify" and you should find some articles and threads about it.

Thank you for trying to help. I did find a thread and did the removal of the apk. but it did not help. It seem to have an issue with just NBCNews it seems as CNN website the links open up fine. SO, so far just one site so maybe it's something they are doing at NBCNews mobile site.
