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.
Bill
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.

Is there a way to use desktop Google Docs on the GN, within the Google Docs app? And if there isn't, could you go on the Google Docs website, use desktop version, and tell me how well it works? On my iPhone the screen gets messed up, the toolbar gets weird, and you can't really do much. Editing any of the text is laggy and hard
Also, when you use the "Request desktop version" feature, does it only do it for that page, or does it change your user agent until you turn it back off? For example, if I want to do ALL of my browsing on the normal version of sites. Thanks in advance! I appreciate the help

I wouldn't know about the first question, as I don't have the Galaxy Nexus, but users have said that the "Request Desktop Version" feature is only applicable for the webpage you are currently on.
Hope that helps,

Ah, that sucks. Thanks!
I am using IE9 (x86) on Windows 7 x64. And I am having a lot of trouble while browsing XDA on IE9.
The tab become so unstable and it can go not responding whenever i click "Thanks" or "Quote" . The tab crash most time when i clicked " quick reply" on the last post of the page and IE has to recover it.
I don't know if it is just me, or something else?
Anyone can confirm this?
Change browser. Use Chrome or Firefox.
If you want to keep IE, let me check it.
The browser lags to rool the page. IE 9 was a huge improvment over IE 8, but it still sucks.

same problem here ... i suppose since the latest chrome v 23 update ... but some threads are working, some not ...
I have an other problem with Chrome and XDA (Windows).
Whenever I close Chrome and restart it, I'm logged out at XDA, although I check "Remember Me".
This is pretty annoying.
Maybe someone has an idea what I can do, I have this problem only on XDA.

No problems here, using Chrome Version 23.0.1271.64 m
I face the issues described here when I use Firefox 16.0.2 on Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit doesn't matter, same problem on two different PC's). The forum will reload the page over and over and over again until I deny to run scripts using NoSript for xda-developers.com. Using Google Chrome (23.0.1271.64m) there is not a problem.
Edit: Now Chrome starts to reload the forum pages over and over again, too.
The others are talking about desktop, not mobile. There is no App for those.

Same issue with Firefox and No Script on windows. I'd be interested in what is causing it if you find out. Likewise, I am enabling and disabling the MANY ad and tracker scripts running on this site.
A fresh profile of Chrome sorted this.No idea how.Same add-ons.

Whenever I hit the back key on my mouse on XDA in Chrome I go back two pages instead of one. Very frustrating. Does not seem to happen in Firefox.
My default browser is Firefox and I have none of the mentioned problems. On Chrome however the pages reload over and over again, just like described here.
Same problem here... Attachment loaded but UI messed up... And I couldn't add smilies... -_-
Happen on mozilla firefox too...
I have issues while using. Xda in browsers too,
But only in my home,
I cant even use the 2013 theme it gets garbled up
In my gf's place everythings fine,
I think it's your ISP, DNS, or browser extentions that is causing the problem

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 guys, im sure a lot, if not all of you have been in this situation.
your sent a youtube link on whatsapp or via text, and instead of watching it on your phone, you want to watch it on your tablet. But wait, the link's on your phone!!
is there an easy way to send the link to my nexus, like via an app? i know chrome can share open tabs, but still seems a bit too long winded.
at the moment, im copying the link and emailing it to myself which i open on my nexus :l
I'd you use Chrome sync it will do it automatically
