just google it skyfire then download its for free......
seems to be working, but the "loading video" screen stays on top at 50% while the video plays in the background.. hmmm
Thanks for the heads up! Skyfire works like a charm, it maybe isn't as smooth as the standard browser. However the 'video tab' works really well! Finally 'kinda' flash support.
Install?
Im having problems installing the app. Once I get to the screen where they ask if I would like to install Skyfire and click install it goes back to the same screen again. Anybody else experience the same thing?
worked a treat for me.. are you downloading from the Market?.. try the old fashioned trick.. power off and on then try again!!

For Vimeo videos it does this, for youtube it plays them fine, weird.
Tried this on the BBC News website, it was supposed to show a summary of this evenings debate, what I got was a download screen that stuck at 74% while a video of Obama talking about the oil slick played behind it. Several other sites I tried it loaded the mobile version of the site which automatically assumed the browser had no flash support. Another site I tried it failed to notice the video content.
I think it is a little optimistic to call this a Beta, it shows promise but there seem to be quite a few fundamental bugs that need to be ironed out.

are you using wifi or 3g (GPRS) for 3g gprs works fine for that but for wifi some dugs occur thats the problem....
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.

Got the update notification yesterday on my X Style but after installation, I noticed that regardless of what browser I use, the phone lags. I tried clearing all data via the chrome settings and restarting my phone but that didn't fix anything. The lag is really noticeable on every site I visit. It definetly did not do this on Lollipop.
Browsing on the phone has now become really irritating. Anyone else experiencing this? Is there a fix?
Regards.

Yeah I am also noticing lot of lags during browsing after marshmallow update. It's very irritating hope Motorola releases a update to fix these.
WTF

WTF.. is this happening to everyone on this update 24.11.18.en.US? That sounds like a significant issue..
I downloaded the update yesterday over Wi-Fi after taking out the SIM tray because it wasn't showing up on T-Mobile but haven't installed it yet because I keep seeing people complain about browser-Wi-Fi-call connection issues.. where is the update downloaded to so I can uninstall it to avoid the annoying reminders if there are so many issues..
Same here.Some websites lag,sutter in chrome after updating to MM.Did a factory reset,didn't solve the issue.
Same here...
Browsing via chrome is really laggy!
Try to read some long article on Wikipedia website.
I'm using FireFox instead it for now... no lag there.
There is also a problem with some 4K videos on Youtube!
Try to play this video (make sure you are on 1440p).
Video freeze after about 10 seconds and the audio is running

Have you tried updating-uninstalling-reinstalling Chrome? What about other browsers like Boat & what % of new-regularly visited websites lag?
Just curious, what size MXP-32GB & what carrier?

I did try to uninstall and reinstall chrome (and even tried chrome beta). It didn't help.
FireFox is working well...
I wrote everything on my comment above
Use chromium from the themes and apps forum. Fastest browser I've ever used.

Reinstalled Chrome but that did not work. I've tried other browsers such as Firefox and a handful of others but they all perform the same.
Every single site I visit now lags and stutters during and after the page has loaded. On Lollipop, I've never encountered lag/stutter doing anything on this phone. I'd usually have 5-10 tabs open and the phone would still fly. After updating to Marshmallow, sites such as XDA, OCN, Reddit, and basically all the sites I usually visit that loaded and performed fine on the previous Lollipop install now lag and stutter very noticeably.
The MOTO X STYLE I've got is the 32gb version bought from Handtec in the U.K, and I'm on o2.
Reading through this thread and many others, it's clear that I'm not the only one experiencing problems with the new update. Just wish Motorola would fix it already. They obv test new versions before release but I just can't understand how they messed this release up so bad. Lollipop was amazing on this phone, how could they screw up Marshmallow so bad??

It is frustrating..do Nexus devices also have such update issues?
Could try to contact them at: https://motorola-global-en-uk.custhelp.com/app/mcp/service?g_id=5141&session=LBEOPUDm
Unfortunately "You cannot downgrade to a previous software version after installing this update" according to https://motorola-global-portal.cust...prod_answer_detail/a_id/109124/p/30,6720,9541 (I'm in USA currently on a T-Mobile SIM) so my downloaded update will likely go uninstalled until the update issues are figured out.. Anyone know where the update is downloaded to so I can delete it or how to stop the reminders to install it?

I just noticed this on youtube, and some times even the keybiard lags while using a browser. It justs sucks.
I am also seeing this problem. With MM, Chrome seems to stutter and lag much more on sites with heavier graphics and ads/pop ups.
I don't have this kind of problem, but i did a factory reset as soon as the MM upgrade was over, i think it's always a good idea to do so after a major release. My browsing experience is as smooth as before with facebook website for exemple as i don't use the application.
Nevertheless, I have also experienced troubles with youtube, some video starts with only the sound, i have to relaunch the application to find a correct behaviour.

Never had that issue its been the smoothest Android I have ever used. I assume you guys never did factory reset,while its not required you are doing big os upgrade. You guys should try it.

It's the same hardware with same OS update so why is it affecting users so differently? Is it some software conflict caused by impacts of different apps? I'm assuming MM will prompt users to update their apps specifically for MM (where available)..
I'm resisting installing the update to MM until this is resolved..
For the past couple of days I've been unable to resume videos on YouTube, for example if I went to another app to text someone and got back to continue watching, the play button is there but It doesn't work.
I either have to go to another video and comeback or close the video and open it again. Does anyone else have this issue ?

Thank you for your time!! Everything came back to the way it's supposed to be
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.
Anyone has the same problem?

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.

You shouldn't even be using Clean Master at all.

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.
