I have seen multiple problems posted about issues with the various browsers crashing while viewing flash video and then switching to full screen mode.
I have found that ICS+ browser is the most stable. Also, I found a way to make it work 100% of the time.
The problem seems to stem from the fact that even though I have desktop mode enabled and flash set to run as "always on" this is not the case.
When you start a video you still have to "activate" flash by pressing somewhere within the video screen (I press on the slide bar) or you get a black/blank screen after switching to full screen and the browser becomes unresponsive. I have done this and videos have worked 100% of the time.
Just now I tried to play a video and forgot to activate flash on the screen and the video crashed (black/blank screen plus unresponsive browser) and I had to force a stop of the browser in the application tab under the settings menu. I then reloaded the same video, pressed on the screen (got a green flash) and switched to full screen no problem. So it seems the issue is with the flash player and not necessarily the browsers, the rom/kernal or tablet (hardware) itself. Don't know if this is just an issue with our device on ICS or if the problem exists on other devices as well.
Curious.
just thought I'd share my experience/discovery? for other to try out.

Whenever I make a video go full screen within a browser (be it Chrome, Dolphin and others), the video controls constantly flash on and off the display whenever I slightly move the phone. It seems as if any movement registered with the accelerometer triggers it.
I'm running Franco's latest nightly (still happens on stable), rooted and unlocked bootloader. No other notable changes have been made. Any ideas? Thanks!
Sometimes, when I watch videos through mx player or the build-in video player, it freezes. If I wait long enough, it turns green and it might play the video or if I pressed anything on the screen, it might exit out (pressing home button) or causing it to restart...not sure why
I'm on 5.0.2
enabled gpu rendering (even disabling it does the same)
I wonder is it because it used up all the ram...

Hey, I have MX5 with the latest "stable" international version of FlyMe installed and I keep getting a weird glitch or bug with the lockscreen while playing music (I'm not sure if it's only happening while playing music but it's certainly most common)
The standard lockscreen with music playing on background looks like this:

And sometimes, when I pust the power button, or try to unlock/wake the screen or even without touching anything it "switches" to this weird lock screen, which is smaller, has different wallpaper, can be swiped to the right (and doesn't even show the right song playing) and overall it's just a ****up. Several tries to lock/unlock the phone get rid of it, but it appears again few minutes after.

This happens both with the stock music player and the Google music I tried afterwards. I also tried hard reset and it didn't help either.
Any suggestions?
I figured out this bug may be caused by a magnet in my leather pouch. If the phone gets close to the magnet it opens the weird glitchy windowed lockscreen. I made a video about it:

1) Now, I have enabled the fingerprint scanner and have my phone secured with a pin. But when I swipe down to open the notification bar and press the settings button, it takes me right to the settings.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong..?
(Real point having a pin security and fingerprint scanner when you can still open up the phone without knowing the pin or having your finger scanned in..)
EDIT2: Now the same thing is not working, and I have no idea why it did that..
2) The second thing that pisses me off, is these black bars under some apps. I think some apps(like Snapchat, see the Imgur link) think that I've enabled the virtual buttons. I think this is a bug.

3) Not sure if this should be under bugs, but like the recycle bin button makes switching between apps really awful, it has a 5.5" screen and I'm struggling between switching apps. (see Imgur link)

EDIT:
4) When on youtube, some videos don't have the HD option. When I head to my PC and open up the video, I can switch between up to 144p and 1080p, but some videos have like 480p maximum. But some videos have 1080p. Not sure why this is like that..
I haven't experienced any other problems or bugs(besides the focus bug in camera app, but it's a pretty known problem). Overall, the phone is really great. No lags(I've been only using it for a day now). It does overheat when charging and using the phone, but since it has a quickcharge charger, it's okay I think. Loving the LED light. Build quality is 10/10 - ign.
Anyone else having these problems?
Should I report them and to where? Is there a place where I can contact the developers?
The phone model is a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime G530AZ.
It is on stock 5.1.1 firmware.
Experiencing the problems in a couple different ways. The first instance that I'll mention involves the keyboard while in the stock messaging app.
The area that you press on to bring up the keyboard in order to compose the message is completely unresponsive while the phone is turned vertical with screen in portrait mode .... now, I found out today that if I turn the phone sideways/ horizontally and the screen rotates into landscape mode, then the messaging area becomes responsive and the keyboard pops up just as it should without any problems.
The next instance with the issues that I mention is with playing certain games from the Google play store such as candy crush ... etc.
While the screen is vertical, with the rotation in portrait mode, then the touch screen becomes unresponsive with certain aspects of the game which involves usually, tracing a line with your finger across various Adams on the game screen... Though if the screen is rotated into landscape mode attempting the same action which the touchscreen was previously unresponsive to suddenly works like it should /Touchscreen working normal versus how it was working whilst in landscape mode
I know there's gotta be a fix for this I mean it really does not seem like a hardware is you though i'm not a professional So I'm reaching out to everyone here that might possibly be able to help... If anything at least maybe direct me the right direction for a fix or solution you-know-what I mean ...
Just recently achieved root user access with KingRoot apk ... Though the issues with the touchscreen began long before achieving the root user access so I'm fairly positive that that is not the reason for the problems due to that fact .
Now i've tried looking everywhere online and google search is not returning any where close to the results that I am looking for about this issue...
Any and all assistance/advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Please and thank you for your time ...
