I have had my transformer for two days now. At first the flash player worked okay. Yeah, there was lag when watching videos in 720p, but whatever. Today, however, when I went to YouTube to watch a video, it wouldn't play and gave me an error message saying that flash player needs to be updated. I checked the market and there are no updates available (I'm currently running version 10.3.185.25). I even tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling it and rebooting the transformer, but to no avail.
Thanks for any advice.

Try clearing the data for the YouTube app and open it up again. Does the message still come up?

That won't work because I'm trying to watch YouTube directly from the browser, but that did give me an idea. I went to my applications and I cleared the data and cache for the browser. This time when I went to YouTube it worked!

Great, Bluetooth doesn't work. I really hope that I'm just doing something stupid which is causing this problem. When I went to connect my magic mouse and apple wireless keyboard to the transformer they paired and said connected. Everything seemed fine but when I went to move the mouse, no cursor appeared on the screen. Also, when I tried to type something with the keyboard nothing would happen. I have tried unpaining and repairing but that doesn't work either. I really like the device and don't want to have to exchange it for an issue like this.

I have a non rooted, XOOM running 3.0.1 and everything seemed to be great but for some reason when I start the CNN app from an icon it starts up fine and then a second or two later either closes or force closes everytime without fail. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it. I've tried rebooting the XOOM as welll. Still happens and I can't figure out why - it may have been the 3.0.1 update.
I usually use the CNN widget to launch videos/stories and that still works fine without issue. But if I try launching it with the app icon it crashes.
Anybody with 3.0.1 not having this issue? I'm not sure what else to try at this point other than to accept it's a bug and move on for now.
I had an update waiting for me in the Market this morning for CNN. Try updating and see if its still happening.
LOL, will have to wait until I get home. Hopefully that will fix it. I have to say though, the CNN app on XOOM is very slick and a better implementation than the current iPad one (although similar).
i get a lot of force closes as well. the update fixed some issues, but i still cannot play video since the 3.01 update. anyone else have this issue of videos not playing in CNN app?

i had the exact same problem. I couldn't keep the app open and then when it did open it wouldn't play videos. I was able to fix the issue by going into the settings, then applications, then click on the CNN app and finally click clear data. You will get a warning click OK. Now open cnn it will say opening for the first time. It should work well now, this worked flwlessly for me.
Which cnn app? I see several and want the good one

That doesn't make sense. Dolphin Mini/HD are not standalone browsers, they are UI and tweaks but use the stock webview browser (same as stock). So if it works in Dolphin, it should work in stock unless something is really screwed up.
Go into your Browser settings and make sure Plug Ins are set to On Demand or On.
In the stock browser, I'm able to load, say, Bejewled Blitz on Facebook. But when I went to hbo.com (I wanted to try HBOtoGo) it tells me that it's a flash site and I don't have flash installed.
I get the same message on HBO.com. Also, I am not able to watch videos on Hulu.com.
Try CNN. I think those sites block mobiles and tablets.

Flash doesn't work in third party browsers... It only works in the stock browser. Also, some sites like Hulu block mobile devices from accessing their content for what ever reason.. It has nothing to do with the actual device. Hulu is working on an App for Android that will be released in the next couple months. We will probably see a Netflixs app even sooner.

Saw this myself today. Tried multiple times. Changing different models..ex.. HTC Vision, Nexus S and nothing was working. I was really hoping that with the new update it would have been possible to use netflix on Bravo.
install fine. starts to stream BUT stops after a second. goes back to home page of netflix.
Any idea if there is anything I can do about this?
I could describe the problem, but the pictures attached do a better job!!
NB: The Last picture shows the on-screen controls are not corrupted, just the video.
BTW... Netflix support were hopeless..

I had the exact same issue and with trying multiple ROMS, the only one that worked was an old one. It is software-build related.
The build that worked for me was "update_mk808b_400j1401" I found via one of these links that the eBay seller sent me:
1) http://www.mk808.com/MK808/en/Download.html
2) http://blog.geekbuying.com/index.php/firmware-download/
I used flashing software found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070390
It works great, but not their latest Android Build...
I did have issues trying to find Android Phone software working with this device build, but LANmote is a pretty good solution, and the only one I could get to work. I tried like 4 paid versions of apps for this stick, and this is the only one I got to work... Most services(/servers on the machine?) didn't want to start and/or function with this build.
I was thinking about buying another ROKU, but for 1/2 the price and a full-featured Android PC for half the price of a ROKU, I knew what the better choice was!
("Android phone" remote control "android touchpad" tablet control "use android phone for HTPC stick control" MK808B)
Is this build I referenced working for you?
I got sick of the antiquated interface, and tried a build for 1080p...
Works GREAT, until I was streaming Netflix for a while and the screen just went black.
Maybe I will try a finless ROM.
Hi,
I tried finless 1.7, and it works great! An older version of JB, but that's fine, I can live with that!
Thanks for the help.

I have 2 on the way, should arrive by May 2, and I will let you know how those $4.99 10/100 dongles work...
Some guy in the UK bought them for his, and this looks like the same ones, but I will verify before dropping a link to the adapter, as this is public.
I got the 10/100 dongle and it worked OOTB, after enabling in settings, no config, just plugged it in enabled Ethernet, and it pulled HDCP from Cat5.
Here is a link if anyone wants a wired connection: http://www.ebay.com/itm/350766060467

I did have some lag in streaming, but this even happens on Netflix via my Roku sometimes, even with my 50Mbps/25Mbps pipe.

Hi,
I have same problem with netflix. I bought this device only for netflix and youtube (because Samsung Smart TV is a sucks). My device is a android 4.2. I did read here and on others sites about this problema and the solution is install android 4.1. With your links a found this instructions on this link:
http://blog.geekbuying.com/index.ph...pc-new-factory-firmware-release/#.Ua4K5EBwrqU
I downloaded the files "update_mk808b_400j1401", drivers and flashing software.
I can't perform these instructions because my PC doesn't recognize the device. I have a Windows 7 x64. I plug my device into my PC and nothing happens. On some posts I did read that is necessary to use Windows XP. Oh god, I don't believe this!
I need a help to solve this problem. Can you post to me a way to install this 4.1 rom on my device, step by step, the way you solved on your device?
I tryed to install a oldest versions of netflix, but the problem did not solved. I like very much that device with a 4.2, I would like to keep this version. Is there a fix of Android 4.2 of MK808B to solve this problem? Do you know?
Thanks!

It's a somewhat complex process, but there are step by step instructions in the readme file included with the finless ROMs. I found that getting the drivers installed was the hardest part. I also found that using the reset switch was easier if I opened the case.

Hello guys, 2 days ago i finally got the android 7.0 update (three uk) and since then I've spotted some problems with the phone. I have this music player installed its called Musixmatch and one of the features is when your phone start playing music the music player identifies it and puts the lyrics on the screen. So since the update sometimes (mostly when I'm playing videos online or just doing random stuff) lyrics to song "Over The Horizon" by Samsung are popping on my screen ( the song is not actually playing, i can't hear it but the lyrics pops up on the screen which means it was played maybe?) I've attached two screenshoots of this situation.
The other problem is since the update sometimes when i want to watch some videos on youtube after few videos I'm getting this problem saying "there was a problem while playing playback id: (various numbers)" and then i can't play any video online (i haven't tried playing videos from my video library yet) but for example on Facebook when I click on the video it acts like a photo just the thumbnail opens and that's it, can't play it. can't play any video untill i restart the phone then its alright but again after few videos im starting to get this error.
My phone is not rooted and I've never rooted it. Its running on stock rom.
Thanks in advance
Just sounds like MusixMatch needs an update. Not exactly a problem with the phone, but the app.

I agree.
It can take a short while for the developer of an app to push out an update so that it does not clash with the updated firmware. I'd check in the PlsyStore under your Apps.
You may also be able to let the Developer know of the bugs your encountering after the firmware update.
That and I'd try clearing the Apps Cache , System Cache and as a last resort create a fresh backup and Factory Reset.
So today i noticed that its not only Facebook videos nor youtube videos. When its happening i can't even call anyone on Skype or Facebook it just won't let me do it.

Had the same problem when I was on LineageOS, didn't found a solution. It was really annoying so I went back to Touchwiz (superman ROM), and haven't had any problems since then.
I dont know what causes the problem, but perhaps a factory reset will solve it for you. :fingers-crossed:
Okay so I decided to go for the factory reset and it worked for a day or two but today the problem is back. Also I would like to mention that I think today was the first time I've used device maintenance to clean ram and Clean master to turn off apps that eat battery after that the problem came back.

Why not
Some people's opinions that such software can cause more harm than good.
Personally I prefer not to use cleaning programmes or battery software either.
The inbuilt options do what I need.

One is it steals your infor and sells it in China.
Second, using it to force stop apps in background causes the phone to active loop and basically use up more battery.
The very presence of Clean Master in the phone is all harm and no good.

Don't use clean master, it's bloat garbage. plus you have that built right into the os. If you MUST use 3rd party once of those, use one that's lighter and less spammy and bloatwarish

I quick looked cm is 16mb, with a whole bunch of bloat and ads and useless features, ahh it's such an awful app. It was bad enough, but then cheetah bought it and it really got bad, same thing happened with the gallery app Quickpic.
Anyway, if it was me, I would absolutely not dl a third party app. The built in stuff does more than a good enough job. But if you must have one, CCleaner 4mb, simple, works, it's light, if there are ads, don't think they are overly intrusive, if there even are any ads. There's a few others that might be OK that are 4mb or under. Look thru the list. But dude, just use the built in option, it does a surprisingly good job.
