I'm pretty sure I wasn't imagining things but I successfully went on megavideo and watched an episode of the scrubs (=P) but now when I try it says this type of flash is not supported :S and on Youtube it used to load videos fullscreen when I pressed play but now it says Go Upgrade...
Is this due to a new firmware update? I heard a new one was released but I never went through any installing process.
I'd like my megavideo and Youtube back! =O Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
I've noticed video on the BBC website isn't working now either which it was working fine before.....
same thing here, youtube videos says, go upgrade....
The desire runs flash lite version 4. YouTube, iPlayer and most other flash apps run on the full version of flash, 10.1. Some things in 10.1 won't be backward compatible with Flash lite 4, so won't display correctly, or even run atall. When Android gets flash support officially it will run 10.1 but for now,you will have to do with the app variants.
ah but why could I view them before?

I know that iPlayer won't work and never has, but the other videos for example clips on the BBC News site always worked fine and now they dont.

I think they might have updated their application, and perhaps increased the minimal version number needed. That would explain why you get that message now.
I've been getting this too, been trying to load videos from various sources, as flash seemed to work in Farmville on facebook (I almost died when I saw it loaded up), and now nothing, the only ones that work for me are youtube videos, which I believe are handled through the HTC Streaming app. All other flash files on sites just give me the yellow '!' triangle, not a pretty sight at all.

BBC website works fine on my Desire, as does playing a full flash movie. Try this:

Just watched that full screen with no issues over 3G
UStream.tv doesn't though - get a triangle
Hi guys has anyone had trouble streaming? For me specifically via m.tvcatchup.com? Even on low quality option I get loading video every two mins and sometimes 'sorry this video cannot be played'. I have been using wifi as I do not have unlimited internet data.

I dont think you have problem with phone.
You said that youtube, facebook videos load with no problem.

Try to open on to your pc...start > run > cmd > ping m.tvcatchup.com
ive just tried pinging
it all seems normal...packets are sent and received
i think that is some problem with mobile site of that tvcatchup...
Because all other sites work properly :/

I am running ARHD 7.03 ROM on my HTC Desire HD (with nosense patch) and also finding problems ...
The display is all distorted when running the standard inbuild HTC Stream Player v1.5
If I install the ARHD 6.32 ROM it all works fine and very smooth indeed
This uses HTC Stream Player v1.0
I have tried to install Stream Player v1.0 over the top of ARHD 7.03 but this still does not work ...
Unfortunately I am new here and still not 'worthy' enough to post a comment in the ARHD developers thread
Has anyone any idea why the display would be distorted for me and if there's a fix or a HTCStreamPlayer.apk I could patch over it to get it working

We'd love to help you out mate but tiny problem. You're in the SE Xperia arc forum and not the HTC Desire HD forum.
Plus we don't have that ROM for our arc. So even if we want to help, we're pretty clueless.
I hope these are more likely to be problems with Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) that the Galaxy Nexus, but I have found quite a few apps which no longer work.
FLASH ("not compatible")
BBC iPlayer ("not compatible")
BBC News (official) ("not compatible")
Hancent SMS ( Not locking default 'messenger app')
Awesome Drop (not connecting)
Anyone found any more?
How about:
Google Voice?
Any of the console emulators?
Any of the EA games?
Any of the Markiet Gameloft Games (I am pretty sure none of these will work, don't know why I am bothering to ask, lol)
Any of the advanced video players (MX video, VPlayer)
Netflix?
Skype?
Any file managers, (ES, Astro, etc)?
Dolphin, Opera or other third party browsers?
Facebook works but has glitches and no way to go to the settings page within the app..

N64oid and FPse both work fine. Most games play without any issues. Majoras Mask looks amazing!
SNESoid doesn't work yet. It launches, then when you try to load a rom, it stops working.

This is an interesting thread. I wonder if these are the reasons the Nexus failed Verizon testing here state-side.
Dolphin Browser HD starts to work but then freezes. I have contacted their support team, await a reply.

I think these app problems are due to Ice Cream Sandwich, not the Galaxy Nexus, and the developers of the apps just need to tweak them, mark them as ICS compatible and then send out the update.
The apps which are unavailable from the market, haven't been marked as compatible with ICS... so the market wont show you them.
I don't think that app availability/problems would cause delay of feature in Verizon testing.
The phone itself works a treat
Prey closes on me. That's something I'd really like working on such an expensive phone
Latest version of root explorer has a few issues (minimises to a small area on the bottom left of the screen) however an older version (2.16) works fine.

Adfree installs and appears to work alright, however I've noticed some adds in a few games so not 100% sure whether it's fully working
Titanium backup is fine but app processing mode (under preferences) needs to be set to "interactive/classic"
Android agenda widget doesnt handle events correctly - puts them a month in future

I've found:
LauncherPro works but some of the LPwidgets crash the handset forcing a 'clear data'
Sandisk memory app doesn't work - presumably it's looking for a non-existent memory card
NoGravity - app crashes
Confirmed Apps that work:
NFS Hot pursuit
FlickGolf
RecklessGetawaySprinkle
Profanisaurus
Android Pro Widgets
BeautifulWidgets
Dropbox
DualFIleManager
GoogleSkyMap
IMDB
Poweramp
3dSkyOrb
Speedview
StudioClock
taptu
Vouchercloud
Couldn't use Navigon 4.0 , the wlan option to download the map failed and using the PC to transfer the map also failed.
Got a refund.
I thought it might be useful to put together a list of apps that aren't compatible (either partly, or at all) with ICS.
If this thread gets enough responses, perhaps it can be stickied?
Post your findings, and I'll try to update the first posts with updates so prospective Nexus buyers can see what may not work.
Adobe Flash - doesn't appear in market. Available from end of 2011
BBC Iplayer - Doesnt Show in Market
BBC News - doesn't appear in market at all. Now works
Blood and Glory crashes
Calendar pad won't open
CalanGoo not working/syncing. Due to new Calendar APIs?
Dolphone Browser - multiple reports of freezing etc.
Evac HD and Radiant HD by Hexage don't work. They install and launch, but you just get a black screen.
Facebook - Doesn't implement menu button, so can't set options/contact sync Update adds menu button back (but no contact sync still)
Flickr - you can't get past the signin process Update available to resolve the login problem now
Go Contacts has issues with themes
Google Earth - Loads but won't respond (multiple reports of this, although some users find it works?) Now working for me too. Maybe it needed a rest.
Google Tasks Organiser - see CalanGoo
London tube status widgets also broken
MX Video Player - Installs but says device isnt supported
RemindMe also doesn't work. It too installs, but you get a weird black screen when you start it
Root Explorer - Now updated in Market
Skype works, video calling does not.
SwiftKey doesn't bring up predictions? Several users now confirming this does work okay
Sygic (Sat nav) can do initial setup, but won't display nav screen (reverts to home). Now working
Tweetdeck - When posting, dropdown options don't appear for location, contacts etc doesn't appear. Posting box just fills screen. TweakDeck in the Market sorts all problems nicely!
Urbanspoon hangs at the loading cuisines screen
Urban Dictionary by Tim Clark FC's in use Now fixed, update in Market
- Note, I've not added every single report to this list; as some are "intermittently crashes" etc. This could be just random bad luck, but if several people post the same kind of issue I'll add it. Sorry I don't update this as frequently as i'd like!
(reserved)
BBC Iplayer
MX Video Player

Yeah i tried co pilot yesterday. After it opened it closed down immeadiatley.
Alk sent me an email with my serial key and i am now able to use it. However it still opens and then hides itself and i have to re open from the icon in the notification tray.
Im kind of gutted coming from a fully compatible Gs2. Feel like a beta tester!
So far ive have issues with
Shazam
Lack of adobe flash
Ebay app - get random network error message which stops me from viewing listings
Most decent movie players.
Citrix reciever
If you have gs2 think hard before making the jump, as nice as the device is it is lacking a whole host of useful features added by touch whiz i.e
video codecs - mkv , divx xvid
all share - decent dlna app
ability to add individual callers to a block list
split view mailboxes
flash - for now

Hey, thanks for your response. I have just tried Vplayer and it played 3 out of the 5 files that i had transfered. Thats better than nothing!

Hey all,
So I installed CM 11 on my S3 today and was downloading a Google Play Movie I got in HD but the download only shows 350mb. But if I use stock rom it downloads and streams in HD. Anyone have a solution to this? Any help would be appreciated thanks! :fingers-crossed:
Might be related to drm. Otherwise im just not sure. Have you tried a different cm/aosp based rom?
Yes infact I have tried few other roms too. However now it is doing something strange. It says that I have already downloaded to the max number of devices. Unfortunately, I don't have some of those devices anymore to unpin the downloads from. Is there any way I can delete the downloads online or something?
That im not sure about as I dont use google for movies or media. If nobody else knows you can try to email google support to see if they can do that on their end.
Sorry I dont know about your initial problem. Hopefully someone who knows more about cm than me will have an idea for you.
