Problem Watching Flash Videos [JB] - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

When I watch a flash video on full screen, after a while the screen goes to the CRT off thing and after a second or two the video comes back but it loads very slowly. There is a problem causing the phone to not understand that it may not go standby during a flash video in full screen.

hi,
I'not verry sure but i've read that jellu bean will not support anymoreb the flash technology and will only cares about html5.

As announced by Adobe, Flash support will be withdrawn, it has warned that those already with the JB may have problems with compatibility.

But flash is there so should be able to use it.

Screen Shuts off when viewing full screen flash videos

The problem is when viewing flash video in full screen from the browser, the screen automatically shuts off after a period of time. This never used to be an issue with ICS. I have tried to take steps to fix the problem however I have been unsuccessful.Does anyone have a solution to this annoying problem? Cheers

Well I didn't had any problems like that, but found flash to be unstable, which is because Adobe stopped mobile flash and jelly bean is unsupported

This happened on my mytouch 4g slide. Its a flash issue. This doesn't happen to me on my gnex I'm using com.adobe.flashplayer-111115012.apk on jelly Bean

Is that the latest version of Flash Player or an older version which has been tweaked to make flash work better?

Did you try different browsers. I have a similar problem when using XScope, the screen goes totally dark when switching to full screen.
This doesn't happen with the default browser.

I'm having this same issue on a galaxy s3 running jelly bean, I didn't have this issue when running ics. Did you ever find a fix?

XDA Premium HD

So, I just decided to install the tablet refined XDA Premium HD app and really all I can say is WOW, this app looks amazing and works great on the Gnex. It's like night and day using this as opposed to the regular XDA App or even the regular XDA Premium App.
Also, it's on sale for only 99cents right now on the Play Store.
Definitely recommend it to those of you that get your fix of XDA from your device more than on your PC most of the time.

I'll wait for a few more positive comments. App notoriously sucks from xda. Bought premium in the past, as you can see I don't use it.

I bought it a while ago for my N7. It force closes a lot, like every time you leave the app for a second and return. I wouldn't recommend it.

Fair enough, I just wanted to through it out there for people especially since it's only a buck for a limited time.

I think it may have updated since then because I have been using it constantly for over one solid day with not a single hiccup in how it runs let alone a force close.

Sounds about right. Thanks for the heads up. I took one for the team, not taking 2.

I use it too. Much better than the premium, but still very closes more than I'd like. And downloading attachments is hit and miss, mostly miss. Still, it's better.
already using it from lots of time.....one simply word-the best!-:good:

I've heard nothing but bad things about the premium app. The Premium HD as I've said is amazing though. Still, going on 2 days and not a single force close issue whatsoever.

It is pretty frustrating.

Judging from reviews on the play store for both the N7 and Galaxy Nexus the app is broken and force closes more than occasionally. It's usable but if you're bugged by force closes I'd recommend Tapatalk.

I think these issues are device and rom specific, possibly even kernel specific depending on gov and clock settings. I have yet to encounter that popup while using XDA HD app in almost 2 days. I'm at my PC right now but for the majority of the weekend I have been only using my phone to view XDA and everything has worked perfectly smooth.
I'm using the xda premium app and it works fine. I'm presuming it's for tablets only?
It's powered by ANDROID 4.1..1 JellyBean AOKP ran by Devil Kernel 1.6.0

The XDA Premium HD app is optimized for Tablets but it looks and works amazing on the Gnex using Paranoidandroid.

I'm running 100% stock, odexed and rooted. So I doubt it is device, ROM or kernel specific. Try opening a forum then exiting the app for a minute then open the app and press the back softkey. Alternatively try the xda button at the top right instead of the back softkey.
Please let me know if you get a FC so I can try figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Sounds cool, but I've already bought the XDA Premium app, and I can't be bothered to buy the HD one. The regular one works fine, I can't see how different HD can make text..

I am seriously in no way trying to mess with you but I really cannot recreate your force close issue. I've tried.
Thanks for trying anyways. Well there must be someone who can help. There's heaps of reviews on the Play Store about the FCs so looks like I'm not the only one.
Or maybe it's just a Nexus 7 thing?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I run XDA premium and premium HD on a nexus 7 and havent had a force close problem. I've run it on about 10 roms but I do completely clean installs and full wipes between Rom installs.
Just wanted to report that's its not force closing on mine.
It doesn't mean you don't have an issue or its not a freak conflict with who knows what, just reporting my experience in case its helpful.
I do have a minor issue where when I get a notification and click on it, it just sits loading for a long time. But I don't like notifications I discovered it purely on accident and didn't try to wait it out a really long time or address it, I ran across a thread that said they're working on that issue already.

Why does it lag?

Why does the GN lag so much when installing a app from the playstore?
And can something be done that i can use the device while a app gets installed?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I think it's because Android is just not so optimized, it lags on almost every debice
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
On my stock optimus2x or anfriends note 2 there is not the slightest lag when installing a app.
GN basicly locks up so i doubt its android somehow...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Because the CPU takes a hit with processing the install (unpacking resources, etc). OMAP CPUs are very open for development/modding compared to other CPUs, but the side effect is they're not quite as powerful due to avoiding some libraries and hardware techniques other CPUs might use that are proprietary in certain cases.

Personally I don't have that problem with my gnex . Its smooth as ever but, I don't leave unused apps using resources like fb or other rogue apps.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
so i went back to stock (with the exact same apps as before) and this is a huge difference, no lag at all, no even when installing apps from the playstore. no need for any seeder or lagfix hack to get the device working as it should.
so now the question is wether the lag apears as well after some time or if the lag thing is only present in custom roms. and if so then the question is why.
i will keep my device on stock for some weeks to see how it goes.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
It will almost certainly come back, and it's not only present in custom ROMs. A clean install of a custom ROM should result in the same speed boost as a clean install of a stock ROM. See the following thread:
Nexus Storage Performance Over Time & TRIM
I would also say it depends on what governor and I/O scheduler you use. I would say try the stock settings of interactive and cfq.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
as far as i can remember all custom roms literaly froze when a app was installed. so far i have not seen this on stock and i dont think that is a mather of trim or sheduler/governor.
but i will find out soon enough i guess...
Edit: forgot to ask, you are on a custom rom and your device doesnt freeze while installing apps?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I have tried 3-4 ROMs so far and never faced this problem.
While downloading apps, I can parallely do other tasks, play games, make and receive calls.
And if this helps, My GNex is 7 months old.

I agree. I'm using XENON HD Stable-4.0 Franco kernel r364. Ever since dumping the stock ROM, the Play Store performance is painfully slow. I have 276 apps on my Galaxy Nexus and the Play Store seems to be the only app that impairs the phone's performance so dramatically.
As a previous poster said, a lot has to happen when installing an app. So I tear myself away from my beloved comm dev from a few minutes and do something else. Like relate to my wife

YouTube v5 update - landscape issues

Seems like a samsung problem, just wondering if anyone on xda has been able to find a fix...
with the new youtube update (v5), there is no longer a time bar on landscape so you can fast forward/rewind a video.. and there's also no way to go back to portrait mode since that whole bottom area is missing (have to minimize the video, and then click back in... )
the app has ad 3-4 updates since its release and the problem is still there. been using v4 as the app is pretty unusable at this point. seems to be an issue with all samsung phones. i really love the new design but it's too bad that there's this huge glaring bug.
Are you talking about the mobile app? Because on my s3 it runs flawless and all the buttons work just fine...your issues are odd to say the least

Same Problem
His issue is not odd.This issue happens on all Galaxy devices with 4.1.2 JB android version.So if you have 4.2 or even 4.0 just shut up!

I think my problem was due to me having the Rogers stock version of 4.1.2 installed, when I changed to the AT&T Stock Rom it was fixed, now it's working flawlessly

Screen turns itself back on

Hey guys. I'm new to the Galaxy Nexus forum and I need help. My phone has been turning its screen back on after I lock it. Most people say its a hardware issue but I just got this phone and its brand new. Is it a software issue?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
You bet it can. Try factory resetting your phone. I do assume you're still running stock everything.
If you are and that fails, a hardware issue could be due to a sticky or faulty power button.
I'm running stock 4.2.2 and there's barely anything on it right now. I'm the second owner of this phone but the original owner never used it so I don't know what else is wrong with it.

usually caused by an application (generally by a live wallpaper). boot into safe mode and see if it persists.
