[Q] Flash video problem after 3.2 update

Since the 3.2 update I have been seeing an issue with flash videos in the browser. The video starts playing but then after about 2 mins it freezes even if the video is fully loaded. It has happened on several sites with embedded youtube clips and also on the BBC news site.
Anybody else seen this?

nop.. no prob for me

I have narrowed it down to an issue with the Wi-fi. I have opened this bug on Google code:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=18648&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
Please star it if you notice the same issue.

I thought it was my router but it seems to be fine now and the DHCP error is still being logged.

Hi,
I face the same issue, the video stops after a few seconds but the the data is still streaming in, the audio still continues but the screen freezes. Trying to restart the video does not work when you press stop and resume.
Shifting the play bar to another time starts the video but it stops again after that.
Any idea how to over come this problem? Strange thing is that it is random, meaning some videos from the same web site are okay while others are not okay.

Im on 3.2 and I cant play flash video above 480p on any site. Its just super choppy.

Netflix Problem

I'm using Infamous Rom 1.2 and been asking this queston but haven't gotten a response so i'm trying it here Does anyone know if there is fix for netflix. Everytime i open it and try watching a movie it starts to play then it freezes then the app crashes.

Sadly, this problem was there since the day of the official ICS release. Neither Netflix nor Samsung has provided a fix and every ROM that builds on the official ROM has the problem. The "solution" is to change your Netflix video quality settings to "Better Quality": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29623239&postcount=40

Thanks for the help it worked now daughter can watch netflix again

I'm currently on CM9 so the problem doesn't exist for me anymore but did the last Netflix update help with that problem?
Can you watch Netflix in HD with the stock ICS ROM or custom ROMs build on the stock ROM again?

The only problem I see so far is that it really wants to freeze, but it doesn't.
It kind of lags up 10-20 seconds in but keeps playing.
Tested it on known HD movies/shows.

I don't know if it's the new Netflix version from 09/06 or if it's the new russian ICS release from samfirmware I just flashed (build date 08/23). Netflix runs great again! No stutter when switching streams and no freezes on the HD stream either!

[Q] Watching videos in the web browser(chrome)

hi,
Good day.
I have a problem regarding watching videos in the web browser specially in chrome/facebook(videos).
I recently flashed the official rom for i9505 which i got from samsung-updates via Odin after that I'm having a hard time watching videos in the web.
The problem I am encountered was the video hangs for a second but the sounds/audio keeps on playing then when I press the back and play it again, the video is in slow motion but the sounds/audio is good. I already search in the web but can't find a good one, I'm hoping that one of you guys encountered this kind of issue.
btw, I already did reformatting my phone twice.
Thanks in advance.

Do other browsers work?

Nope

I tried firefox and the default browser, im still encountering the same problem

tried restoring the hole phones firmware to stock via kies but im still having lag

i just newly bought a new logic board for the phone and when i got it i made a clean wipe with kies to load in stock rom but im having weird lagging issue in youtube or mx video player it just lags throughout the video it also have the same problem in the chrome app if u play youtube from there. i have no idea why its lagging like this it seems to work fine otherwise. is the cpu/gpu defective? its only the picture that get these lag freezes the audio work uninterrupted the video will just jump to where the audio is after the lag. i also tried dr.ketan rom and i have same issues there so it seems to be a hardware problem but might there be a software fix for it?

When you play video in youtube change quality to 720p by clicking 3dot button at top right corner..
It will no freeze anymore.

Have you tried changing the 'Hardware-accelerated settings' under the developer options?

Video playback issues

Streaming video on my stock ROM has been getting pretty frustrating lately, not entirely sure why i'm having so many issues with my p9 Lite, I cant stream in 1080p while running the latest official firmware. The video lags behind the audio and freezes up quite often. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this or is there a more serious issue with my phone than some setting hidden somewhere
