Hey guys,
I posted this question in the Nexus 7 forums too in hopes of finding an answer.
I'm a long time Android user, and a very proud one at that. I recently got my Nexus 7, and I'm extremely happy with it.
I was shocked to see that some "flash video" works in the default Chrome Browser? I have not installed Flash or any other add on that I can think of. But I'm pleasantly surprised to see that I can view and play some videos on website which I believe is using Flash.
For example:
http://ca.ign.com/articles/2012/08/03/new-super-mario-bros-2-review
http://www.comingsoon.net/
These sites work perfectly fine with my Nexus 7 Chrome Browser.
However, how come these don't work on my Chrome Browser for my Galaxy Nexus?
The Chrome Browser is the same version 18.0.102523 on all 3 devices.
Can someone explain why is this the case?
Thank you all for your on going support in these forums.

This Question was resolved... see last post
Can anyone else confirm if the videos in the links above work for you? I'm told its working on the Nexus 7 because its HTML5. However, this should be enabled anyhow for the Galaxy Nexus Chrome Browser too. I tested some sites that specifically says HTML5 video, and I have confirmed that they play in my Galaxy Nexus Chrome Browser.
So I'm still mind boggled as to what is the reason they still play in my Nexus 7 but not on my Galaxy Nexus.
Any ideas?

IGN article worked. Second link, no videos showed up.

Thanks for your feedback DirgeExtinction,
Oh sorry,
in the 2nd link, the video needs to be clicked on the right side of the page, right under TRAILERS and VIDEOs. When I click it, the "No Plug In" page pops up, which isn't the case with my Nexus 7.
Damn, so you got the 1st link working huh... I'm wondering why I'm not able to see this.
Can anyone else confirm this?

Works here tooooo

Hey Guys,
Thanks for your confirmations... I finally figured out what was causing the problem... although I feel this is a bug:
When you view a website with the "request desktop site" option checked (which I prefer),
the HTML5 video links are broken.
However, if you view the desktop website using the website's "View Full Site" link instead of using the Chrome Browsers "request desktop site" option, the HTML5 video links work!
Thanks Everyone.
For the first link, the video is played under HTML5, not flash. If you force the browser to load the page in desktop format, you will see the flash addon is not available.
Ya, I realized it isn't flash now, thanks to all those that replied., but it's an HTML5 video issue when you use Chrome's Request Desktop Site option.

Hey guys... I'm just curious about, why Google Music censored my music?!
I bought Marvin's Room from Drake, for example, on Musicload (a German site for legal music download, powered by T-Mobile) uncensored.
Today I decided to upload my music into Google play for easy access...
Just tuned into it and it's censored now... no dirty words... is it normal that Google Music do this?

Yup, another one affected, states "clean" in the name now... this is... ??

Lol.. I have thousands of songs in Google music, none of which are censored.

just tested it out, it isn't altering my explicit lyrics mp3s
It's probably this 'match' feature which, rather than you having to upload your copy, adds songs from Google's server to your Google Music user space. It's probably taken the clean version instead of the explicit one. Try putting 'Explicit version' on your and see what happens as both are available on Google Music
The one was called explicit version... Confusing... I'm going to delete them if it's possible... I rather put them on my sdcard than fighting for dirty words

This is ridiculous haha. I'd noticed it with a few songs having the odd word censored or changed, which I thought was annoying but tolerable.
Then I just tried to listen to Benoit & Sergio - Walk & Talk. All of the lyrics have been replaced with a humming, presumably because it's drug references.
Who knew Google were so puritan?
I can live with that I just don't upload dirty songs

Where do you live? I believe Google is testing the Match service in Europe. Check your labs settings on desktop version of Google music as well. I would figure it would default to clean versions and a setting to switch to explicit

hmm, havnt noticed that, must not be paying attention enough
You just shouldn't listen to explicit music you bad boy, google is doing a good thing here

so i just noticed a few of my songs have this issue so i emailed google and this is what they told me:
Hi there,
I understand that some of your music is not being matched correctly by our scan and match service. In order to fix this, please go to your library on a browser and right-click on the song(s) that are experiencing this issue. Please then select "Fix incorrect match."
If your Music Manager is running, the actual file will be uploaded within 24 hrs. If after that time period, you're still experiencing this issue, please let me know.
Best Regards,
John

and it worked.....so i hope this helps others.
Is there an option in music manager to not scan and match stuff? I have 0 desire for this to touch my music...already invested the time for a full upload. Scared to turn the program on and have it mess up stuff now. I read that it has issues matching various artist albums too, and I have some of mine configured in non standard ways that I'm guessing it would butcher (or ignore, who knows, that's the scary part!)

I also have the problem. I told them that fixing individual tracks in a 20,000 song collection is clearly not a valid or palatable solution. They had no other recourse, nor would they acknowledge this as a problem (typical Google).
I'm currently on the phone with them asking how I can submit a bug report, for surely this is a bug with how their matching is working (or not working, as the case may be).
The rep had no suggestion other than to email him with the problem specifics and his word that he would pass the bug report onto the germane team.
Unfortunately, until Google fixes this issue, Google Music is unusable for me.
@johnchad14:
No, there is no way to 'turn off' the matching feature, according to the rep I just spoke with. The good news is it won't touch your original tracks, just **** up the version they make available in their cloud. Surprisingly, it handled my compilation albums quite well.
Yeah, it *was* my online backup for music. As I don't know what they've done with the tracks now, I can't trust it as that anymore. Oh well. Not having issues with the whole thing other than worrying about the fidelity of my online collection there. Just been using my local backup drive like I used to to ensure music meltdown does not occur. Oh well!
Weird. I have like 17 gigs of music uploaded to Google music and its never edited. I'd be pissed off of they did that but I really don't think they have that right.
But... It is on Google servers.

Yet another problem Google causes, and then is oblivious to it. Same fiasco when they combined navigation volume with media volume. Utter incompetence. F*** you Google for ruining my music and telling me I have to fix thousands of tracks individually because you have a service that doesn't work.
So I received an email from Google now that I've activated my new Nexus 7 and as I'm scrolling through the email I notice something about the Disney Pixar Short "La Luna", and as they stated, it being loaded on my tablet. At first I think...how did I miss that?!?!
But I went through the Google Play Store and it listed it as if I didn't own it. I checked the "Play Movies & TV" app and it wasn't there either. I also checked to see if it was loaded locally....which it wasn't.
Has anyone else seen this email from Google? Does anyone actually have the La Luna Pixar Short loaded?

I had not noticed it in the email either so I searched for La Luna and found I did have this cute little 7 minute short available... Google attached it to a seemingly random account on my device... I think it was the last account I had added before they ran whatever process handed it out.

That's weird...I can't find it at all. I only have one account so I don't know where they'd hide it. I wonder if of has anything to do with the fact that I returned my first N7? I'm on my second one due to the first one having OTG issues.
I returned my first one also... Touchscreen issues and an oil slick on the back.
I found the movie in My Orders but I cannot determine which device it is linked to. It appears as if it was paid for. I check My Movies in the Play Movies app and it along with The Transformers: Dark of the Moon were available for viewing on all of my devices.
Check the magazine app too. I got a couple for free .

It shouldn't. When I turned on my original N7, La Luna still showed up there and played fine. Its tied to the account, not the device.
Same problem. I have that TV show Empire of the Sun or whatever it's called, but no Luna.
Hi All,
I recently saw the news of a Brazilian developer that put out an app called "Boyfriend Tracker". What it is, is a private eye in the phone. The Girlfriend installs the app, with permission of course, and it monitors the phone owner.
It remotely dials a number, so the receiver can secretly listen in.
It forwards all text messages received and sent.
It sends GPS Location updates and more.
I have searched, but maybe I googled incorrectly, for an APP monitor that runs kind of like avast anti virus. I was looking for something that would password protect instillation permission of apps. In other words, if an app is downloaded or copied to the phone some other way, it can not be installed without an Admin Password.
Is there such an app?

Will search and let you know. Although I think, theres a cheating boyfriend apps available, but their reviews are not good...

I have been trolling the net and I have not found anything like what I'm looking for.
Think this is the app you're looking for along with news links referencing it.

Every review I see says the active 2 has Twitter and YouTube integration.. but I got my lte version today and don't see anything or in the app store. Can anyone tell me how?
I have seen Youtube and Twitter Apps (Just not official) Also a Reddit App on the Galaxy App Store
Open the Galaxy App Store. Select Watch and Press Search.
I want the official ones they claim Samsung made and come on the device... Just not mine for some reason
As far as I know they haven't even released them yet. A lot of people are asking when Samsung will release the apps. They're supposed to be coming from the companies themselves...
