[Q] 2.2.1 hinders adobe flash? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

At 2.2 [SuperOneClick with OCLF] my phone could play all flash content (in desktop client mode) and even struggle to play 720p flash media although this was fairly jerky.
Since upgrading to 2.2.1 Galaxy S wont play any regular flash content unless specifically designed for mobile it seems. Tried many things to put this right in 2.2.1 but to no success. Even went back to factory defaults.
I'm thinking of going back to 2.2 but would like to know if anyone else has had the same problem at 2.2.1?

I have been able to play flash whenever needed. I have had my browser set so that it runs flash upon demand. I don't know if that had made a difference.
Any specific site your flash failed on?

Have you updated flash player .

iplayer (desktop agent) and 4od play very slowly, unwatchable.
iplayer in mobile view works fine but the quality is relatively poor.
When everything used to work well, flash 'on demand' or 'always on' made no difference. I've also tried different versions of flash 10.1, some work better thhan others but all inferior (by a long way) to before froyo 2.2.1 update
Glad to hear yours is working well. I've since istalled Darky's rom 7.7 and still no dice for me. strange as I've wiped everything and done fresh install.
depending on whether others have got flash media to play well on 2.2.1 then I'll thinking of downgrading to 2.2
Let me know please

So nobody else is having problems with Adobe Flash on 2.2.1
It's just me?

Hi there, my wife and I both have galaxy s, on 2.2.1. both can watch bbciplayer over wifi ok, and we could watch 4od ok, but we think that it was ok at 2.2. and thinking the same as you that maybe the update to 2.2.1 has caused problems with flash.
We have tried all sorts of things.
As you have wiped everything already are you going to try going back to 2.2?
If so how do you do that, any idea?
Let us know how you get on, if we find any other fix we will let you know

iplayer (desktop agent) and 4od play very slowly, unwatchable.
Suggest BBC iplayer forum as possible source of help .

[Q] Browser crashes watching certain flash video

Hello,
I have had my nexus for about 5 months now and really love the phone.
One big feature that I use is flash video online and I watch streamed TV channels. A few months ago, when 2.2 was originally released I was able to watch any stream I cam across.
However, within the last month, certain video stream will result in my phones browser crashing immediately. The browser does not force close, and there is no error message, just immediately booted back to home screen.
The funny thing is, 2 of my friends who have the HTC desire, are unable to view the same streams. The browser crash is 100% repeatable without fail.
I am currently running STOCK 2.2, with stock recovery, stock (non-korean) radio, stock everything. I reverted entirely to stock from CM6 to see if it would fix my problem but it has not. I have tried CM6, Enomther, Kang and stock roms, Tried the froyo 4.06 radio and the Korean 5.08 radio, all of which have the exact same behavior.
A specific stream that does not load for me (there are others) is The Poker Channel, over at atdhe.net
I have tried both OnDemand and always on for flash settings but nothing seems to help.
If anyone has any ideas or also experiences these problems I would love to hear it. If you need more information or a video of the problem I can provide whatever is needed. I desperately would like to fix this problem.
I have been having the exact same issue with Justin.tv streams it was working when I was on the beta flash and right after the official flash was released. Very recently I want to say two weeks it crashes my browser. The only thing I can think of is maybe its being blocked from there end? I also tried wiping and installing the beta again and same crash
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Well that is good news and bad news Im sorry to hear you have the same issue but its nice to know I am not alone.
I would like to get it fixed but I have no idea how to go about it. I have tried almost everything I can think of, including changing User Agent and all that stuff.
If anybody reads this, Is anybody able to watch the Poker Channel from atdhe.net on your phone? Other channels dont work as well, I dont even like poker, but I know that channel is a for sure browser crash for me.
So there is a new flash update that I just downloaded on my phone. Flash Player 10.1.95.1. This seems to have fixed my problem 100%, as every flash channel now works flawlessly.
If only I didnt revert everything back to stock... hahah At least I am happy to have my issue resolved.
I made sure mine is up to date and it still doesn't work it might be my build
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Actually I came back to post that upon going through more channels I find that some still don't work. A majority of the ones that didn't work now do work but I still experience some channels on atdhe that crash my browser immediately. This is while using stock 2.2 still.
That changes my thoughts a little knowing your on a stock build it might be a problem with the stream itself I notice it does it only on Justin.TV streams the ones work great still
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I had the same issue today. I was trying to watch a steram from atdhe which I'm pretty sure is linked to Justin TV. Just keeps crashing my browser .
Another issue I've had is watching Colbert report on CTV's and comedy centrals website. The audio plays in slow motion but the video plays normal. Everything else on those sties work for me.
I'm using CM6 nightly build.

U may want to try setirons i9000.kernel... u have to use odin 1.3 to flash the tar file

Runs fine on stock rom. 2.1
It runs great on the leaked Foyo ROM as well. Can you check to make sure it is on your internal SD? I tried to run the files from my external SD, and went into boot cycles. Hope that helps.
Works great for me on Cognition 2.3b7 I have the bought version and the early version that was leaked a couple of weeks ago, 1.0.4 and they both run without an issue.
Im running darky V6 with setirons kernel, and it just hits the splash screen, the music plays, one out of every 5 times I can get to car select and it crashes. I dont get a FC message or anything. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling also, and restarting the phone. The data it downloads is on my internal sd and everything. I have no idea what the issue is.
I'm with stock XXJPY and this crap is closing... I think we just were stoled...

Still not working here and EA hasnt contacted me back at all yet. Anyone get this game working yet?
Mine works just fine on perception 5, no lags, no fc's, just fun

How odd... I wonder what the issue is. I mean it starts up, then just exits. Hmmm....
same here
same issues here with 2.2.1 based roms. i could play once running Cronus.
Grab somewhere APK from Galaxy Tab - it's working for me perfectly
Beware: 120mb size...
Im wondering if it has something to do with the market. As in, because we are using the different baseband version, the market is trying to give us the copy made for snapdragon chips.
I guess to confirm this, what version of nfs shift do you all have? I think in my many wasted google searches I saw different versions for the phones that use the snapdragon chips.
It's not a market issue... It's a NFS game issue - version 1.0.56 worked, but .58 not
So I dont know if anyone was able to fix this, but I did find a version for the tab and its working great now. I can't share it on here, because I know its warez or whatever it's called, but mine works great now. I will add that I paid for the game, just had to find a copy that actually worked.
mine works fine and im running firebird 2.2 no problems whatso ever
I bought it during the sale and haven't ever gotten to play it either. I put a support request into EA, but 2 weeks later, I got a canned response (what's you phone, OS version, etc.... info that as already provided). I'm disappointed, since this was my first and so far only market purchase... I can confirm that it bombs on Xcal's and speedmod kernels, does anyone have it working with a newish rom (2.2.1)? If so, what kernel and game build are you running??
Mine works fine on phoenix, never have had a fc on this game.

What version of NFS are you using? I've got 1.5.7, someone mentioned 1.5.6 working, is that what you have?

Need for Speed Shift starts then shortly goes back to home screen...anyone else?

Hi!
I got NFS shift from the Market but unfortunately it starts and shows the intro for example and sometimes I even make it to the car selection but then it will just crash back to the Home Screen with no errors.
I tried uninstalling and deleting data folders but that did not help.
I had the same problem with Darky's Rom using JPY, but on Pheonix which I think uses a Vibrant base, games works wonderful and have had no problems with it. There must be something to that, might be the 2.2 vs. 2.2.1.
Ah that sucks...gonna try a different JPY but you might be right.
Same issue. on Cezars SE Rom. I wonder if it has something to do with the Android ID.
Not sure but since I paid for the game already, I installed the game from the Market then downloaded the SD content from one of "those" sites and it runs fine so something is wrong with the files it downloads for the Galaxy S when you let it do it on its own...weird.
same here on Cezar's SE base. Sad face. :C The sims 3 does this too...

[Q] Streaming Flash Video With 2.2

Could someone test this for me?
Ive got an i9000m, 10.12 hw date (3rd back from bell repair).
I remember with my previous phone being able to play (smoothly) flash video from sites such as tsn.ca
I was trying to watch the world jr game last night (first time trying flash video with the new phone) and it was extremely jerky. I was on a wifi connection which was more than good enough to stream video. This was with the stock JL2 firmware.
Knowing that flash worked great with the previous phone running a beta 2.2 version, I installed darkys v8 this morning, thinking JL2 may of been the cause of the issue, and im finding the same results.
Could it be my new phone? Could someone else load up tsn.ca and see if the video streams smoothly.
Thanks
some videos are not optimized for mobile and will be very jerky and other flash vids that have same or even better quality will run fine. don't ask me why
I get that, but its just odd, as it worked fine before.
as well, sites like atdhe.net streamed flawlessly before, now they are extremely jerky (basically unwatchable)
Updated Flash Player v????
jje
Yes I have,
flash is updated to latest from market.
I have the exact same problem with www.tsn.ca full site along with several other sites like www.ign.com. Did anyone find a solution? Thanks.

[Q] YouTube HQ videos won't play properly

Ever since I upgraded to MicroMod777's Gingerbread ROM, my YouTube HQ videos will not play properly. The audio will play without any problem, but the video will just get stuck on one frame; it is not a matter of streaming it or anything like that.
I used to have the MIUI Froyo-based ROM and stock Froyo before that, and there were no such issues. A Google search has also not revealed any answers. Initially I thought it was just an early version (v.10) glitch... but yesterday I upgraded to v.19 and still have the same problem! I don't know if this is a Gingerbread issue, ROM issue, Nexus One issue or YouTube issue. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
You need to flash the zip stated in op. You went and Google search, but didn't bother reading the entire first post. Amazing.
