Hey all,
I got my S II about a week ago and I love it. My question or comment is; when playing videos using the stock video player, if i jolt, shake, tilt the phone a bit the video stops playing. It pauses, then I have to press play again. Is this normal for that player? Note, I used MX player from the market and it works fine. My phone is rooted.
thanks for the help...

Do you know any solutions to this annoying problem? Its impossible to watch full screen flash videos with stock browser. Screen turns off automatically. i tried turning on/off smart stay, no difference whatsoever. I even installed 3 different versions of flash player, cleaned the browser cache ,nothing. What the hell is this? I am so sick of this stupid bugs.
do you know a way to fix it? and no I don't wanna use other browsers.

Smart Stay works for me when watching on the actual device. Not sure why it doesn't work for you.

No, smart stay works when the room is lit but I like to watch videos in bed which makes it impossible because smart stay doesnt work in dark.

Ya could try to find an app in the play store that overrides the screen timeout settings? I dont think its a glitch i think its just how this phone is

I just want to open browser and be able to watch damn videos. Why do I need to install screen timeout apps and click it everytime I need to wqtch something. How convenient is this?

Yeah , it's annoying.
But I guess Android Jellybean system files dont support adobe flash out of box so maybe tweaking system files for screen time to support flashplayer is needed.

Try Screeble, best App to keep screen on while in use, by using screen orientation / gyroscope/apps
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keyes.screebl.lite
Highly recommend!

Thank you, I downloaded. Seems like a good app

Search for "Screen On" on Google Play. Free app, no ads. Tick the stock Internet browser and enable the service within the app (disable the annoying icon in the notifications bar within the settings). Voila, issue resolved.

Thanks a lot for that, works great
I can't seem to upload the video, pics only it seems, but it looks like its shifting left and right quickly while the video remains smooth. Like the player is going nuts or something.

It happens on mine only when the antishake is ENABLED. It's driving me crazy.

I talked to Samsung about it and they said it could be a software error and they want me to send it in for repairs. The shaking only happens when Anti-Shake is ON and it makes the video hard to watch, it kind of looks like a small earthquake.
I was able to use the Youtube app w the screen locked to listen to the audio, I can no longer do this, also happens with streaming any content on the web. Is this Jellybean centric? I searched numerous combinations and nothing. Anybody have any insight or solutions?

I have never been able to do this ever on any phone. When you put your phone to sleep, it shuts everything down. only way to keep things active is by using a wake lock and some apps dont have this built in. but youtube app will stop immediatly after leaving the application.

Actually I was doing the same thing, but that was long time ago. I still had my sgs vibrant. But I think google made some update or whatever and stopped that future from working, it was before I got my sgs3 (I've skipped sgs2) and loooong before jb come out. Were you able to do it on sgs3? I would love to see someone bring it back.

Knew this was possible! Thanks for the link boss!!! Now if it could just play playlists id be so effing happy!
Yeah thanks guys. Im sure I was able to do it with this handset maybe it was my Vibrant. Seems like a silly thing to remove since you may want to listen to audio wo the screen on.

SOoo I often use first row sports to stream different sporting events. When I click to fullscreen in the browser window I can still hear sound but the whole screen goes black.....I have flash installed and am using Firefox.
Does anyone else have this prob with full screen videos?

Do you have auto rotation enabled? I modded my Firefox to automatically enable it and then after I hit the full screen button and rotate me phone the picture comes back.

Thanks for the reply. I do have Auto-rotation enabled, I just cant figure it out at all, the streams will play fine if I rotate my phone and zoom it to screen size, but not if I try to play it as a full screen video.

I tried Samsung Music Player and set auto-off to Never but it still stops or gets choppy as all get out when the screen shuts off. So is there any other music players with a specific "Screen Off" option? Thanks

I tried that but didn't see a screen off option... Where is it? I tried PlayerPro and saw a stay awake option but dunno how my battery and phone being in my pocket would like that much. LoL
