[Q] Flash annoyance - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if anybody else runs into the following problem and if anyone had found a convenient workaround.
When trying to pause or unpause a flash video, if you tap the screen it seems to register two clicks instead of one, pausing it for a split second and then playing again. The only way I found to actually pause is the touch and hold on the screen for a few seconds then release.
I realize the problem probably has to do with the less than stellar touch interface used with flash (since you can't really hover over the video like you can with a mouse).
I am using boat browser. Will all flash compatible browsers have this problem? Is there an easy(er) workaround?
Thanks!!!

Yea ive had the same problem, the only real way which works is the long press method. im not using boat so im guessing its for any flash enabled browser. its annoying, wish it would get fixed..but doubtful

I get the same problem using boat, but full screen fixes it for me

Screen Lock while playing video

Not sure if this has already been addressed? I am looking for a App or some sort of control on my tablet, so that when I am watching videos it locks out the screen. My daughter is almost 1 year old, and likes to watch Mickey Mouse on my tablet. The issue is, she likes to hold my tablet, and ends up turning off Mickey. I wanted to be able to disable the touch screen, or have a certain area to activate the touch screen again. Not sure if there is a app like this? Thanks for any help!

I'm pretty sure mx player has an option on screen that allows you to lock it down while playing, I also find it to be a very nice, straight forward player that runs all my files nicely.

More than that I've been searching for an app that turns off the display completely while hooked up over hdmi. That plus Ps3 controller = replacing the wii in my bedroom. Ha
Is this real life?

Browser problems on ICS?

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.

GT-I9500 Bug - Lock-screen appears for a split second

Hello everyone,
I've been having this problem ever since I bought my phone 6 weeks ago.
I'm currently running XXUBMEA rooted stock ROM. And I've had this bug even before updating.
I searched the forums here but couldn't find anyone complaining about it, although I know a friend or mine who has the phone and is also facing it.
Sometimes the Lock-screen appears for a split second, during that, the brightness also goes to max. If it happens while I'm typing somewhere, the keyboard disappears, and I have to tap on the text box to make it appear again.
Also, sometimes it happens when I'm playing a game in landscape mode, the screen rotates to portrait just less than a second, and returns to normal.
It's very annoying, it happens to me daily, I'd say about 5-7 times.
Anyone else facing this?

Multi touch issue s8

Hello all
I just got a UK unlocked s8 and I love it but I'm having an issue with the multi touch.
It cannot register multi touch properly. I notice the issue whilst typing on the keyboard.
I downloaded those multi touch tester and if I put my left thumb and 2 fingers from my right hand then place them on the screen at the same time, it does not always register 3 touches. If you move your fingers then it will.
Anyone have this issue?
Could it be another app that is causing the issue?
Faulty screen?
Thanks
Okay so I've worked it out. The issue occurs when I set the phone to qhd! If I use full HD then the issue goes away. How lame is that!
Edit. I've set qhd again and this time it appears to be working. I'll monitor this
I got 10 touch registered with no problem, before running out of fingers and screen is set for maximum resolution, never noticed any missing touches either. Not sure why yours would be different.
Well I guess me changing the resolution messed something up. Changing them back and forth sorted the issue out
I was having the same problem with my galaxy s8 plus. It couldn't recognize more than 2 fingers. At last I got a solution. That is, just go to your call dailer and then ty-pe *#2663# then update TSP. And you are ready to rock 10 fingers.
same problem

I have the same problem. Whenever i play a FPS game using 4 fingers it only allows me to use 2 fingers. Rebooting the phone only temporarily solves the problem before it comes back. Changing the resolution solves it temporarily as well. Is there any other solutions?

Emulation issues across most retro emulators

Hello all, just joined because I couldn't find info on this on the web, at least no info that included answers.
I have most of my GBA collection backed up and often load the roms onto my Android phone to emulate. I have never encountered this issue until now, with my first OnePlus phone. This leads me to believe that it is an issue with the phone/phone settings rather than the emulators themselves.
I use the touch screen controls when playing GBA. The buttons are not registering my presses unless I hold down the button for a second or two. All input requires me to touch and hold the button. I digged through my phone settings but nothing stood out that could be causing this.
Everything else with the phone has been great, but this is definitely a deal breaker that will force me to switch back to Google devices.

Hey there,
Using MyBoy emulator, and a super Mario Bros room, I had 0 input lag. Has to be something on your side. Positive here is that it's not One plus phones

That's good news, I really like this phone otherwise. I guess it could still be something in the phone settings though. I have my emulators set up exactly how I had them before.
I'm also using MyBoy GBA.
Figured it out! The triple tap to zoom feature in the phone settings was causing it. Turned it off and it works normal now.
