I manually updated to frf 85. The other day I got the ota update to frf 91. I've had a problem with browser just closing. Certain web pages, right before it's downloaded, closes and I wind up on the home screen. I'm sure I'm not hitting the home button. No force close. Btw my N1 is stock.

happens to me all the time, especially when rotating orientation, also same goes for my music app, it renders the music app practically useless as an mp3 player on the go :/ i posted a thread a while back about it but nothing came of it, i would really like to know wtf is happening its quite irritating

Would anyone mind trying on uastring android?
When flash first came out I could watch flash vids on ESPN.com. now I can't, I've tried on stock 91, stock 33, and cyan 6 stable. I can watch if I change ua to desktop but until recently i could easily watch them like any other site. Its sort of annoying. its definitely good I can watch them but its a hassle to keep changing to desktop. I'm stock 33 right now. The vids show up but wont play.
Bump. I realize most people around here probably don't know what ESPN.com is so forgive me maybe if I keep bumping, someone who is familiar will happen across this. Thanks
I just tested it and they play fine for me. I am running the latest nightly but I doubt that matters. When I clicked the link it asked me if I wanted to play using double twist or movies. I picked movies.
I could watch in either android mode or desktop.

Thanks that's interesting. When I use desktop they work but don't ask what I want to use to play them. Come to think of it, when vids on ESPN used to work for me they never asked what I wanted to play them with. I wish I knew if clearing the browsers data or even wiping the phone could fix it, it would be a hassle but it'd be worth it. Oh well, its always something...thanks again
edit: they work when i have plug-ins set to "on demand", thats good enough for me i suppose
edit: now doesnt work "on demand" after the first time. This phone sure does test my patience frequently.
bump, just wondering if any issues watching espn videos have come up for anyone else? Im talking about the full site of course, not the mobile one.
Is there anyway the radio could be at fault? edit- nvm didnt work
Im grasping at straws here its just so irritating that the only website I want to use flash with is the only website I cant.
Im currently running a custom ROM and it still isnt working. Im on frg 33 but espn.com videos stopped working before I flashed it.
I am using Dolphin Browser HD and I watch the videos embedded in the page. They work great for me. The Volume buttons are set to scroll initially so you can go to the app settings and change it back so you can adjust volume while watching.

thanks thats interesting. I tried dolphin, i can watch vids on the espn mobile site but i still cant on the full site. I cant imagine what the problem could be since it spans stock/rooted, various roms, various browser apps and various radios, what the hell even remains consistent throughout all of that which could cause this? I love this phone but my technical difficulties sure are adding up...it would be cool if i at least had some number to call to get help with the $600 device i purchased. My fault though I did realize google wanted to forget the poor nexus one fairly early on...
Well, it is definitely slow to load up. I have dolphin set to Desktop UA. The page loads up. I click the flash player on-demand. The flash video box stays black for a little bit, then eventually the play button comes up and a commercial plays first. Then again the black box reappears and then the play symbol loads again. (this is with about 1mb/s connection or less). Its takes some patience, but its espn highlights on the go, for free, so I can't complain.
I also remember a newer version of flash player coming last week or maybe 2 weeks ago. You could try to uninstall and reinstall flash player.
When you say not loading, do you mean the flash area is black, or the area has an error message displayed?

When its set to desktop I've gotten it to work. But videos on ESPN played when set to android uastring but this was with only the first couple of adobe flash versions. At some point, after some update I guess, ESPN videos stopped working...
OK so I have tried the stock music player, TuneWiki and PowerAmp and all three seem to have the same issue. The music will simply stop playing and it acts as though I pressed the pause button. I have my Xoom in the standard HD dock and I have seen this behaviour both through the speakers of the Xoom and when I have external speakers plugged into the dock.
I have tried to determine if a notification is stopping the music, but it does not appear to be triggered by that. I tried sending myself an email to both my Gmail and Touchdown (exchange) accounts and the notification played but the music resumed as expected.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour?
I have noticed this too but for me it only happens when loading something or deleting things and it must be using alot of CPU.
not sure if this is correct, but maybe it's not the CPU - maybe it's the internal memory. I mean, let's say you're playing music, and in the background you've got google services, tweetdeck, weather widget etc... updating data and then you open the market and so on
seems like a lot of things using the same memory. If memory was seperate like on the NExus One (some internal, some on sd) it wouldn't happen...
happens to me once in a while on my 3g xoom... doesnt bother me much. however sometimes the music app totally closes(force close) and sometimes the music pauses itself.
Happens to me sometimes too.
Sent from my Xoom
Mine does kind of the opposite....every once in a blue moon it will open the music app
I too have noticed this but only when another application is attempting to make a sound or notify. For example when I am playing music and an email comes through ... the music will pause while the email notification is playing.
I would check your running apps. Some poorly written apps might be grabbing the sound for some reason even though it is not needed by the app.
Mine does this on Wifi Xoom as well, only appears to happen on stock music player, winamp has worked fine. I think I has something to do with other apps running or transfering data over usb.
I think motorola/google need to release a stablity/bug fix update. Theres a few quirks that need to be ironed out.

Yea, stock music app seems to be full of bugs. For me it always resorts to having to reset the xoom because the whole thing crashes. This plus the constant force closes in browsers is really starting to annoy me. Winamp seems to fix the music issue but no other market browser solves the other issue. Sorry to get a bit off track. Google needs to get their act together. I don't think I've ever seen even a windows release this buggy.
Does anyone else get this?
When the 'my library' widget updates from a something like a new played song, my home screen suffers terrible lag until I remove and re apply the widget to my home screen. I notice this happens most when adding or playing a new song. I live in the UK and so dont have google music, so all my songs are from my computer.
Also the widget doesn't load the song thumbnail previews?
Someone please reassure this isn't just me?

I was getting the same thing, it was slowdown the whole device even on the app tray. Removed that widget and all is well again. Same when leaving the Play store sometimes too.
Swiping left and right and opening and closing the app drawer with this widget on my home screen was causing stutter - like above, removed and now its smooth as butter
Lag Fix
I posted this fix in another thread about lag, but it may help you too. I found that disabling auto-sync in Google "Currents" helped improve speed a good bit.
I have the media widget and the stuttering has def minimized after doing this.
You can see a video of the fix here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnJRYTKqnRc

Yeah, Mine won't show thumb nails now.. it did in the first few days then stopped...? Likewise a UK user... just deleted the widget and re added it, solved my lag so far, but not solved the thumbnails...

I have the same problem with both my gnex and my n7. if I remove the widget and 're add it to the home screen it goes.smooth again but if I click on anything on the widget the lag returns.
Facebook keeps randomly closing. For no reason on the 5.1 update.
Seems to happen when it scrolls by a video. Screen locks then Facebook closes. Only happens when I scroll past a video. Going to try changing the settings so videos don't automatically play see if this helps.
Wasn't sure where exactly to post but please move to the correct sub forum.
I need an app that does what the subject title does. Its not a necessity but more of a gimmick. I want the screen to remain on when an app is running in the background and I've tried and tested various apps from the play store and none of them are working the same with my old nexus 5.
When I begin playing a playlist from Spotify I dock it in my car cradle and then put it to sleep mode, the music is still playing and when I push the sleep button on again, it comes up with a cover art which looks pritty cool in my car.
I've downloaded several apps and when I assign the 'screen on function' to Spotify it stays on fine when loading up the app but when I get the phone to go into sleep mode (with the app still in the background) the screen doesn't stay on. The apps do what they are supposed to do when keeping the screen on when Spotify is loaded but its the sleep mode I'm stuggling to get it to work properly.
Any ideas which App can do this? I've crawled through google play store and none of them are doing what I need them to do.
Thanks

Thats working, will test later but thanks for responding. Been looking for an app for a long time. Cheers.
