Issue with In Browser Video in Chrome? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got a strange but very annoying issue on a pair of Nexus 7's I have. When trying to watch a video (youtube or other) in the native chrome browser when I change to full screen the controls on the video eventually (after about 5-10 seconds) become non-responsive. Specifically the play/pause/ffw/rwd buttons don't do anything, you can't reposition or scrub video on the timeline any more and the time counter becomes frozen. The video will continue to play however.
Anyone else have this issue? Does it repro in other browsers? Note these are not flash videos and I've now seen this on both devices I have. Neither have been rooted or otherwise customized yet.

Anyone know how to file a bug or support issue with Google?

I just tried it and the controls seem to work fine. A little lag, but pause and play work fast. FF and RW move if you just keep tapping. I just picked a random video within Chrome, not the YouTube app (which is what I normally use).

Strange I can definitely repro this on two devices. We do have some common apps/settings but perhaps I'll do a factory reset and see if that clears it up.

I have a related question. Is there any way to "pop out" a Youtube video in Chrome to the native YouTube player? This can be done in the AOSP browser by tapping the Youtube logo in the bottom right, but I can't seem to do this in Chrome. It's VERY annoying. If this could be done, we wouldn't have to worry about the flaky controls in Chrome (they can get flaky after using them a lot - native app is much better).

Did factory reset fix the issue?
I have the same issue, did factory reset fix the issue?

I don't know. AFAIK it's a Chrome bug because I started using Dolphin HD which did not have the same problem.

Browser Crashing

Is anyone else having the browser crashing while browsing. Nothing repeatable but from time to time it crashes and just dumps you back to the desktop, no warning or error message.
That has not happened to me, but I have noticed that at times, the browser is just super slow. Pages won't load, etc. It's not my connection, YouTue loads fine, and so does Doplhin Browser.
This has been happening to me as well, not only the browser though other apps as well. I would go as far as to say every app I have used has crashed on me a minimum of twice yes EVERY app I have used. I just received my gt10.1 today so it might just be stretching pains.

I have the same issue. Like you said, nothing repeatable, almost kind of random, but it closes down completely... this has also happened in other apps, in addition to multiple force closes in apps.
Yep..I noticed it FC's on me mostly when I'm forums..never other sites.
On my 10.1v the browser is crashing at every start so i cant use the stock browser. Other apps crashing to. Yesterday the gfx at my live wallpaper was overwritten by an other programm or task. I think there are a lot of bugs in honeycomb but this can also be an hardware problem. Anyone here without problems/crashes on 3.0?

Yep. mine crashed three times trying to view one particular website. I finally gave up.
Some apps crashing too, and the Yahoo mail app is LAME. My phone does a better job than the 10.1 displaying Yahoo mail. Tab forces you to open any email containing HTML in the browser. LAME.
I see what people mean when they say Honeycomb is not ready for prime time.

using my 10.1v for about a month now, i've never had such serious problems. just 3 or 4 fc, different apps, not repeatable.
go into setting, applications and clear the data from your stock browser. then you might be able to use it again.

Thanks, clearing the browsers data and cache works fine...
me too
I have the same issue. Glad to see its not just me. It just dumps and goes to the desktop. I just got this today and not too excited about the browser failing right out of the bo
Stock browser crashes on me too. It will randomly freeze when accessing web pages and then home and back button does not work. I have to hit them multiple times before it goes back home and sometimes the only way to fix it is by rebooting the device.
Anyone had the same freezing experience?

I've had this happen a few times. Try force stopping the app and clearing data like mentioned in a previous post. I had this happen in the YouTube app as well while trying to search for a video. It wouldn't return any results and crash until I force stopped the app in settings. Once I did that I was able to re open the YouTube app and find the video with no problem.

My brower crashes often when browsing forums.clubsi.com
It seems some sites make the browser crash
Im having the same issues. I was using dolphin browser HD and the stock browser. This error seems to occur in both.. for me it seems like it was more video/flash sites.
Yes, stock browser crashes, but crashes less than 3rd party browsers which is why I've stuck with it so far.
I too am having this problem. As far as I can tell it has happened mostly if not always on forum sits for me as well. I am subscribing to this thread hoping someone will figure out what is happening and help us fix it.
Oh, I just tried force stopping the browser and clearing data. Within five minutes it crashed again.
me too... once crashed, i reboot device. i find that whenever i change the viewing mode from mobile to desktop while browsing gmail, my browser crashes. and of coz some other sites too
anyone?
Yup, mine crashes on sites that have a lot of newer HTML5 ads or complex javascript. I have flash turned to OnDemand so it shouldn't be causing any browser FC's. I also see crashes on sites that have a lot of images on them which has led me to thing it's crashing due to memory issues.
yeah me to. crashes on certain websites. techradar is one it allways crashes on. im pretty disgusted that they`ve let this bug make it to the retail version, this and the high pitch noise issue really get my back up!!
sort it out samsung ffs
Same here. One way that is repeatable on my end is when following a link to track a UPS shipment. I try to open the link from my email to the lenovo site, and it never makes it - drops to desktop every time. However, I've also had random crashes while trying to load flash, simply browsing, etc.
HC definitely needs some more spit and polish, but so far I'm liking it. Also, the Opera Mobile Browser, atm, is the best one that I've tried, among stock, Miren, and Dolphin HD. However, they all have occasional crashes.

Anyone getting browser freeze/FC? I'm sick of it, hardware?

Running tasks v5 rom, much better than before, but still get a lot of freezes (forcing a hard reset by me) or force closes where the browser disappears. Nyone else getting these yet?
No browser freeze on mine.
I have problem accessing seekingalpha.com. Browser (stock) wouldn't load content and than just chrashes. It happens everytime, with no exeptions. Could someone try to open it and let me know what happens?

I'm not web expert, so I don't know what's going on with this site, or in what "technology" is it written. But, they have changed site recently, and since than it started to be extremely slow on my HTC Desire (Gingerbread), like beating the hell out of the processor. And now I found out that crashes Honeycomb browser.
Is there any way to contact Google to point them to this problem? I couldn't find it...
Opera or Dolphin can open it. But also, there are some rendering problems in Dolphin with left column (adds and some links on the top). It's dynamic (moving with you as you scroll the page), so that could be source of the problem.
I haven't had a problem with this site really, mostly when the keyboard is up (using Swiftkey) or quickly scrolling. Also other things like samsung email app and a few games seem to cause problems.
All seems very random and infrequent, can't find a pattern to them yet.
Just got my first browser FC today, happened twice when trying to add a bookmark
could this be a hardware problem? The tab freezes several times a day, usually on the browser (use that the most too), also in exchange email app and various games. It's driving me nuts. Tried every rom out there as well as stock and pershoots kernel.
Anyone have any ideas? It's driving me crazy and I'm curious if I could have a serious problem or if it's something the right update could fix.
I use Dolphin for Pad browser (not Dolphin mini or HD). Never had a FC.
tried dolphin. No difference.
have u tried the v6.1, got some (few) lags on v5 but v6.1 is smooth (for me) now
Yes, I've tried 5,6, 6.1,overcome, starburst. Makes no difference.
In Dolphin use the desktop agent instead of Android. It' their mobile site that causes the problem. If your rooted you should be able to set the stock browser to desktop also.

[Q] HTML5 Video Playback/Seek Error [SOLVED]

For some reason, this problem doesn't seem to be addressed in this forum much so I'm posting again.
Using Chrome/Chrome Beta on Note 4, whenever I try to watch a video on HTML5, the video starts playing normally but when I try to drag & seek, it will pause for a second and say "Sorry, video Cannot be played" Does anyone have a solution for this? It is driving me nuts and I can't find a solution. Please [email protected]#$!#
Problem occurs during 4G/LTE usage. No problem when using wifi. (This doesn't make sense to me)
*just confirmed that my brother, who uses the same phone, has the same issue as well.
Alright people, I finally got it solved. So if anyone else has this problem, try this method.
SOLUTION:
1. Go to Settings>Application Manager>Chrome>Uninstall Updates
-----This process uninstalls all updates applied to any factory installed apps (Evernote, Chrome, etc.)
2. Go to Play Store>My Apps>Update All
3. Open Chrome
-----Settings>Content Settings>Website Settings
-----Erase all settings.
Try now and it should work without any problems. Hope this helps everyone else too!

[Q] Screen Sharing to Nexus Player No Longer Works

Just wanted to see if anyone else was having a similar issue, and if so if anyone has any thoughts.
I haven't quite pinned down the cause yet, but I've noticed that when I try to share my phone screen with the Nexus Player (using the Chromecast app on my phone), it doesn't seem to work. It will initiate the screen sharing and show a picture that mirrors my phone, but then it's frozen. When I move to a different app or to my homescreen, the picture on the Nexus Player is stuck on the chromecast app.
I did a factory reset, and immediately tried the screen sharing at that point. It did work. I've done that twice now and it seems to be fine just after the reset. I'm not sure what the cause is but I'm trying to narrow it down to some kind of app I'm installing. Possibly Kodi or the Sideload Launcher? ES File Explorer? In any event, it's a pain to isolate since I have to completely wipe the Nexus Player when I encounter the issue.
I have tried a few things to restore screen sharing such as force quitting the casting program on the Nexus Player, along with erasing the cache and data. Doesn't seem to help.

Something that would surely fix the issue is reinstalling the stock firmware. That may be a little drastic, however I am sure it will work. I know my way with fixing software issues but mostly only on rooted devices. Good luck!

I have no idea how to do that. I guess it's quite a process...
Could you explain it to me like I'm five year old please.
