I think it's the Facebook App honestly. Try using either Dolphin HD browser set to Desktop mode, or the stock browser in desktop mode and use Facebook from there.

Thanks worked for me

Stock browser in htc desire

Hey guys, are you able to goto the picasa web albums using the stock browser in htc desire (stock 2.1)?
Works fine for me. Using stock browser with official 2.2 update.
I'm able to get in too, just that the albums are not appearing, you have that issue?

Anyone out there facing the same issues?

I'm able to see Albums and can view pictures. Both the mobile version and desktop version of the site works just fine for me.
Sounds to me like you have java-script disabled. Check to make sure that's enabled first.
I have enabled the Java Script already but I'm still unable to view the albums.
Are we talking about the same site? http://picasaweb.google.com/home

[Q] Problem with flash videos in browser

Hi
Whenever i try playing a flash video in the browser (or in skyfire), after i press the play button, the progress bar is moving, i get the audio, but there's no video - the video area remains black.
I'm experiencing this for about 2 months now, in which i switched ROMs (iceandfire, cyanogen), updated the flash player several times, updated skyfire several times (it happens both in skyfire and stock browser), cleared cache of those 3 apps, cleared data, tried to uninstall and reinstall...
nothing helps...
Any ideas?
Thanks
Edit: found a similar thread at cyanogonmod forums:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/..._hl__+black++video__fromsearch__1#entry194047
I'll keep an eye on it over there. I''ld delete this post if I knew how...
I also had this problem, then I downloaded the 10.2.idontknow and it worked again!
i am using the cm 7.0.3 and adobe flashplayer 10.3. seems no problem. i did not do any extra setting. so give it a try.
I have a similar issue. Mine will play fine in the browser, but when I open the video in Youtube after starting a video in the browser, it will start to play, but only audio plays - no video. I am currently using a stock, non-rooted G2. I didn't have this
problem with my last G2 running CM7 though...

I have the same issue. However my YouTube app works fine. An interesting point is videos that automatically open in full screen from the browser work. I'm on cm7.0.3 with the latest flash.
I used to be able to resolve the issue with an older version of flash but now when I do that YouTube gripes that I must update flash player.

Wow I must be lucky, because I've never experience this issue. And I watch youtube dailymotion on the browser and never had this issue

I've had the black screen of death too. Only audio on random embedded videos. Like worldstarhiphop.com for instance. I'll try a fresh rom install and see if that works if no fixed is found in this thread. It's the only thing hindering CM7 based roms.

from the cyanogenmod forums (the link i posted in my first post):
@dewd write:
"Yes. I did 2 things to make it work.
1. I updated to the latest version of Flash in the market (10.3.185.22).
2. I used ROM Manager to "Fix Permissions" (and rebooted).
After these steps I was able to watch Flash movies.
This did not fix Netflix, It plays movies with sound, but no picture. "
it worked for me, took a couple of minutes to fix permissions but then i was able to see flash videos again.
i checked it only in 1 website though...
I have same problem...
Apparently the fix permissions method didn't work...
So I tried what @Tommebaas recommended, and downloaded an old 10.2 version of Adobe Flash Player.
It worked! thanks @Tommebaas
Here's a link to the version that did the trick for me:

10.3 is better and runs flash that 10.2 can't, so that's not really a fix if I downgrade.

What does 10.3 run, that 10.2 can't? I don't view a whole bunch of sites with Flash. But for what I have viewed, I've never had an issue as far back as 10.1. It seems like a lot of the recent updates have had more to do with tablets (and very minor performance enhancements) than anything else.
I moved Flash to SD and it works for me now.

the 10.2 install fixed it for me, idk what is suppose to be special about 10.3 but um if it doesnt work its not better than 10.2 so yeah.

[Q] black screen bbc iplayer

I have a HTC desire hd with Cyanogen mod 7.1.0 rc1...
since updating the iplayer app I haven't been able to see the videos, but the sound is there I tried it with flash-player 10 & now the latest.. still the same, I
can watch you-tube, and videos on my device, I tried it with video codec for Armv7 still black screen... has anyone a suggestion on how to get the dam thing to work.. please
did you try reinstalling iplayer again, i´ve found that works sometimes. i use iplayer over a vpn from spain and it requires force stopping the app to get it to work quite often and sometimes even that doesnt work so i´ve got the apk on my sd card so i can reinstall whenever clearing the app cache or fc the app doesnt work. hope this helps
edit i´m on virtuous unity 2.39 but i had the same issues on stock gingerbread so i dont think my issue was a rom thing
I tryed reinstalling, tryied older versions, the same every time, It worked when it was on stock 2.2 froyo, so it seem to be a codec issue with cyanogenmod, but have not seen any related comment. thanks for the reply.

Im having the same issue but I'm using a HTC incredible s. All other video works so it must be a problem with cyanogenmod.
I tried using cm7 and had the same problem.Fixed it using an older version of flash. Don't know why but the newest flash doesn't work with cm7.

however it went back when i rebooted.
Uninstall then reboot, then reinstall and reboot then it should work fine.
It did for me.

Ice + chrome flash question

I hope this is not a dumb question but is there away to make flash videos in the chrome beta browser play in the video player? I'm wondering since flash will not come to the chrome browser. Flash video is still floating around the web on some sites so until html5 takes over everything, it is annoying switching to stock browser every time I want to watch a video. I have seen some videos, when you tap them it gives you a option to watch on the YouTube player. Is there away to make all videos give you the option to play on the YouTube player or some other video player?

Wanamlite 3.7 youtube problem

Hey is there anyway to make youtube app launch when I press youtube link, now it just opens youtube mobilesite in browser.
Only way I have been able to workaroud it is to make tubemate default youtube app and there I can select watch and youtube app starts.
How I can make it so all youtube links opens directly on youtube app in browser, e-mail, and any other app.
It worked fine in wanamlite ics roms but on jellybean it just refuses to work.

I also have wanamlite 3.7 and when I click YouTube links it prompts for standard app to open the link and i can choose YouTube. Perhaps delete standards in browser and YouTube app

Well I will try but if I remember correctly I never saw youtube to be one on that list.

this happens to me too with youtube and gmaps links.
tried to clean cache and app default values but still the problem, seems to be a random bug of jb LIB rom.
I have noticed that if the video link starts with http://m.youtube it launchs browser youtube, tried with http://www.youtube.com links and working fine with youtube app
No dice even after I manually reset browser and YouTube apps defaults I cannot start YouTube app directly just by pressing youtube link.
Only time when it works is in tapatalk's video links, those whit little preview of the video whit that play symbol on the middle.
But if I bress youtube link in browser or facebook or any other app it ether launch it directly in browser or let's choose default app for YouTube, BUT youtube app is not one of those apps on the list, I only have default browser, chrome and tubemate.
How I can make/force youtube app to launch as default app, in wanams ics roms it was as easy as allways sense galaxy s and android 2.2 but now on s3 and 4.1 I cannot make youtube to be default youtube app
