Finally got around to trying the fix, still doesn't work. Commercials play without an issue, actual video is just black. So damn annoying. This doesn't appear to be a issue with most people so I have no idea what the heck the problem could be.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AverageCanadian:
Thansk for the help but it did not work. Finally got it working following this directions from another website

Instructions from here. http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/25239-flash-player-update/

It appears there are many more people having the same issue.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCinToronto:
Perfect, thanks much and works for me too.

For other's not too unix friendly.

start an adb shell, might have to adb remount too

su for superuser rights

cd to go to the affected directories

chmod 000 config.data to revoke rights to the file
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JRShield:
Thanks dude! It also works to just delete the plugin folder and install flash again.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pativets:
Thanks guys, but how do I delete the plugin folder, or remove permissions? I'm a total noob for rooting, please help!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drpsyko:
Use any file explorer that can access nand files e.g. root explorer, es file explorer. Just make sure that you have S-OFF and root your phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pativets:
thanks, but the plugins folder apparently doesn't exist on my phone, the only folder within that directory is /lib. I think will try to install 10.2 on my phone and see if that fixes the problem. Perhaps 10.3 and 11 is not supported by the Infused v2 ROM.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metaldood:
Make sure you have root.

Force close all browsers.

Using Root explorer/Fileexpert .. go to /data/data and look for app_plugins folder for each browser.

in app_plugins/com.adobe /.macromedia /Flashplayer

Remove all permissions for config.data file. Do the same for all browsers stock/miren/dolphin etc.

Flash video will work on all sites.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pativets:
in /data it says that the directory is empty. I'm using File Expert

[General Questions and Answers] Kingdomfalls:
Hello, I am with Virgin Mobile ( AKA Bell), in Canada and I was wondering whether the unlimited mobile plan is equivalent to the T-Zones in the States?

The only reason I ask is because I think it would be wonderful if I could get a smartphone on a data plan and not have to pay the charges given ( $30 for a basic 500 MB on Virgin), and not have to worry about data.

So, is it equivalent or if I were to buy a compatible smartphone from elsewhere would I still have to put on a smartphone plan?

I just updated my system and now my WIFI just reads error. I did a factory reset two times and still no luck does anybody have any suggestions?
[Acer Iconia A500] bonzer2u:
What if anything did you do/load on your tab before you updated?

were you rooted and or applied removed any hacks or programs???
[Acer Iconia A500] androidA500:
I don't know if I was rooted I didn't do anything to change the system when I bought it. All I did was download some games and use the browser. The update failed the first time, so I tried it again and it succeeded. As soon as the tablet restarted it had no internet access and on the setting menu under WiFi it just said Error.
[Acer Iconia A500] bvdrax:
i had to reset permissions on the wpa_supplicant to rwxr xr x.
[Acer Iconia A500] androidA500:
How would I do that?
[Acer Iconia A500] minotauri:
this has also happened to me. i'll try changing the permissions.
[Acer Iconia A500] androidA500:
i used chmod 755 wpa_supplicant in the /systems/bin/ and my wifi still reads "Error"
[Acer Iconia A500] minotauri:
did not work for me neither ;(
[Acer Iconia A500] androidA500:
i think i will just send it to acer
[Acer Iconia A500] bvdrax:
You did reboot after making the permissions change, right?
[Acer Iconia A500] minotauri:
yep i did. i did a system reset too and still came back as wifi error, and little did I know that when you do that it also wipes the "SD Card" internal storage as well, which had my system backup on it. UGH. Now, alot more troubleshooting :(
[Acer Iconia A500] minotauri:
Ok I got wifi back up by restoring a system.img i found for the US to the original 1.04 version. After installing the patch manually, wifi failed to work. again. :(
[Acer Iconia A500] lostsoul3471:
After letting impatience get the best of me, I managed to extract the update from a posted link back to acer and successfully updated to 1.141. Now I have the same problem here. Error - No wifi.

Log reports an error loading the wifi driver. Tried to fix the wpa_supplicant permissions, but once I had the system folder set to r/w, the permissions were already at 755.

Anyone else figure this out? perhaps there's an old wifi driver we can use and replace the existing borked driver file?

Update: After searching though the forums, only two "fixes" are available for lack of wifi and neither of them do anything. Permission changes for the wpa_supplicant file does nothing and the two kernel mods also do nothing. In fact both those modules are the exact same size so I'd guess they are the same files. It has to be something else. Looking at attempting to revert back to 1.04 until this can get resolved (once I find the 3 images to do so)

Update2 (RESOLVED): Ok, this is something one would not expect from an update. From what it looks like, the update does NOT update the kernel in any way. The kernel modules were the cause of the error as the 1.141 update will update the modules but not the kernel itself. I found a set for my kernel here and after copying those to the /system/lib/modules folder (and changing the permissions to 755 or rwxr-xr-x) after rebooting I got connected. Hope that helps.

It will put you back to stock 2.1. Then you should do a fresh download and install of your custom ROM.

Also, ask and search this question in the thread you found the ROM.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belvadier:
I've had the MT4G since it came out in November and I used to absolutely love it but recently it has become increasingly sluggish and certain aspects have become much less responsive.

Pulling down the notification bar is much less responsive than before as is installing apps. Apps take much longer to install and when I reset the phone it now takes FOREVER (3 or more minutes sometimes) for the apps that are installed on the SD card to become usable. This wouldn't bother me quite as much if it weren't for the fact that it didn't used to be like this.

I do have a lot of apps on the phone (around 200) but I have plenty of free space on both internal memory and the SD card. When I go into the running apps section of the app manager it doesn't appear like there are any unwanted background apps running - just the essentials.

I'm not sure what I could have done to slow it down so much but is anyone else having this problem and is there a known solution?

Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
Same thing happened to my friends mytouch. What ROM are you running? I rooted her phone and installed CM7 and she's even more in love with the phone as to her it's 100x faster. So maybe you can go that route? Or you can install Faux's Orange Glacier if you want mySense, maybe ext4 will help you.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belvadier:
I am running everything stock. My phone is not rooted or running any custom roms. I haven't rooted because there honestly isn't much for me to personally gain from it. I like the MT4G interface and appreciate the things that it does well and ignore or workaround the things that it doesn't.

Also, I know Gingerbread has been confirmed so it's just a matter of time. So I guess I've just not done it because it's easier and I'd like to avoid doing it.

The thing is, when I got it and it was stock it ran like a dream. In fact it ran like a dream for quite some time. It's only been quite recently that it's begun to decline...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDV28:
I dont like suggesting rooting/flashing to fix errors when its not needed, but in your case, it looks like it is. Because you say you like your rom, i would look at THIS one. Its the same as what you have now, but with root and you can get the version that has some of the bloatware removed. Hope I helped!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belvadier:
But why would this fix it? Something had to have happened to make it so sluggish. If you can't tell I really don't want to have to resort to rooting my device. Maybe I'm just not familiar enough with the functionality of a rooted phone: do all of the features work? (camera, gps, etc). Is it easy to update to a newer version of a custom ROM when a new one comes out? I don't really want to root because when an official Gingerbread update comes out I imagine it will be a nice and painless update whereas with rooting there is always that X factor that I could brick my phone and be worse off than I was before...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDV28:
I got the hint originally that you dont want to root, but it really is the best option for you. All the features work, you can get those Gingerbread roms right now, if you would like. My favorite things about it are: WAY better performance, customization, choice of version of android, choice of Sense (or another UI overlay) or stock android, etc. I could go on forever with a list of whats better. If a new version of the ROM you are using is released: you download it to your SD card, (re)boot into recovery (something you will learn), three clicks of the trackpad and it will be flashing. Then you reboot and its all done!

If you would like, PM me and I'll walk you through all of it with links/guides/tips and opinions :)

EDIT: As far as the sluggish thing, i can guarantee you its something with the (currently stock) rom. I'm not saying its unfixable, but this is a good reason to go ahead and root, flash custom rom, etc.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
Just to add on to what he's saying:

But I can understand why you're hesitant. I think the sluggishness is just part of the stock ROM, every person I know that has the stock ROM it eventually slows down after some time. But a custom ROM should be faster because it's just lighter over all, it's been deodexed (whatever that means) and all that stuff plus bloatware taken out. Plus it would be in EXT 4 format which has proven to be faster. There's wonderful youtube tuts if you need em, and of course you got us! :D
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilchip85:
You're aren't they only one with the sluggish phone. My wife told me that her phone started getting sluggish about two days ago. She's also stock and not wanting to root. She only has about 50 apps installed. So like others have said it's part of the stock rom.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentsnow31802:
You could always factory reset it and start from scratch. That will bring back its original speed but you will obviously lose all your apps.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Having a faulty SD card or having a bad sector in the internal memory might also be a reason for it. In that case, formatting the "offender" will solve it (formatting internal memory means factory reset).
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belvadier:
If I root my phone and install a custom ROM do I lose all my apps and/or other personal data? Also, which is the most highly recommended ROM for this phone? I'd like to use the most current and up-to-date one and preferably one where all the features work, etc...

I'm really unsure about this but I'm left with little other choice I suppose...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
As others have said - if you truly don't want to root for whatever reason, your other option is to factory reset the phone, which will revert it to its original condition when you first got it. I for one totally support the rooting option, as it really does make you feel like you just upgraded your phone to a better model. Phone will be faster, more responsive, and offer better battery life (depending on the rom you flash). Plus, you just get a world of customizable possibilities that aren't available to you on stock. You can choose between Sense (and many different versions of Sense at that), stock/AOSP (i.e. cm7), or even something totally different like MIUI.

If you do decide to root, but enjoy the stock experience, I'd suggest Iced Glacier (correct me if I'm wrong) which is pretty much the stock UI with bloatware removed...or if you want to try a different version of Sense, I'm on Royal Panache right now, which is gingerbread Sense 2.1, and it's really awesome and works flawlessly.

You can use Titanium Backup to backup your apps/data and then restore them after you've either rooted and flashed a new rom, or factory reset...hopefully someone else will confirm this, because I'm not sure off-hand if you need to be rooted to be able to backup/restore.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilchip85:
I know titanium backup needs root before you're able to use it. He won't lose anything of he gains root. He'll be able to use it after root.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
Thanks, wasn't sure if you had to be rooted to backup/restore - so to the OP, either way if you factory reset or root/flash a rom, you'll lose your apps. In that case, next best option is to make sure you sync google backup right before whatever you decide to do, so after you reset/root, your google market apps should automatically be restored to your device. Obviously, same goes with contacts, they will automatically restore to your device provided you have it synced with google.

If you decide to root, you won't have to worry about this again as after that you can use Titanium to backup/restore apps and data when you flash different roms. Pain in the butt, but better than the alternative of having a phone that doesn't run well.

I understand the hesitation with rooting, I was the same initially, but I promise you - if you don't mind putting in a little extra time and energy, the benefits are substantial. Obviously you're into your phone enough to register with XDA, so I encourage you to explore it. I'm not a hardcore tech-savvy guy, rooting is pretty painless as long as you read a bit before you do it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDV28:
No, you misunderstood what you quoted, you dont lose anything during the rooting process. You can sit with the stock ROM w/ root, JUST like how you had it before the rooting process without doing any extra steps.

@OP, The rom I linked you to on the first page was the stock ROM that you are running now, but debloated and few minor features added. You can do that, but now there are quite a few *stable* Gingerbread ROMs w/ Sense(2.0,2.1,3.0).
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
Oh yeah, duh...I was thinking if he rooted and flashed a new rom, forgot that he can still stay stock with root, and back up before flashing anything :p
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitrouspony:
Forgive me if anyone already suggested this, but have you tried rebooting? I didn't read all the text because I keep seeing people talking about ROMS and rooting. My myTouch does the same thing and restarting always fixes it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belvadier:
Yeah, I reboot frequently - sometimes several times per day. As a last ditch effort before giving in to the root I got LauncherPro and have to say that it has solved like 75% of the problems I was having. SD programs still take their time loading on a reboot but homescreen switching is much faster as is app drawer scrolling (and scrolling in general really) and app launching is also quite a bit snappier.

The only caveat is that it really feels like now my battery is draining faster than it did before although the battery monitor doesn't show any abnormal amounts for any programs...

I was also taking a look at the memory usage and I was averaging around 168mb free which seems awfully low for a device with 768mb of RAM although there didn't seem to be that much stuff running either...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDV28:
lol its ok, we all have our sunsean moments hehehe

@OP, convinced that rooting is eternal happiness and stock is the devil yet?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaibar:
Why, it's OK actually- Android (Linux-based) RAM management has a different behavior- compared to Windows. You can use Task Killers but whatever RAM you free will soon be occupied again.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julez456:
You could always root and just keep the factory ROM like I do. Then you can install an app like Bloat Freezer to "freeze" apps not being used or Titanium Backup to remove bloatware altogether. I have 269 apps on my phone rooted and running stock ROM and its still running fine. I do have a long reboot time like you tho but that's obviously because of all the apps that have to load. Plus being rooted and running a stock ROM you will always receive whatever update T-Mobile or HTC push out to our phones OTA.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belvadier:
I like this idea. Also, if I decide to do the custom ROM thing can I still use WiFi calling? Because now that WiFi calling doesn't use minutes I use this as my home phone.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VibrantOwnr:
for all those who have a sluggish phone and are running the stock rom (not royal glacier, or ice glacier or anything based off the stock rom, but the rom your phone came with when you first turned it on), change roms to royal glacier, ice glacier or something else as for some reason, when you are running the stock rom, and you root, it just creates random problems.

not everyone gets these problems, but it might help if you switch roms
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belvadier:
In addition to will WiFi calling work on a new Rom, will rooting and installing a custom Rom solve the video FPS problems that plague me? Whenever I capture a video (even if its not in hd) I am getting video that is between 7 and 9 fps which is just unusable...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDV28:
You mean those OTA's that break root? the ones that take devs a long time and a lot of work to get working with root again of even possible? Yea, good suggestion.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDV28:
Yes wifi calling works and video recording is fantastic, for me anyways.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belvadier:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholasb:
my wife had the same issue with her stock phone.. after some research on it, i found that the issue related to location. We used lattitude. There is a bug with it, it produces continual notifications shortly after your phone starts.

If when you start the phone and it works just fine.. but gradually slows, you have this problem. This issue was fixed with custom roms however.

* some of the technical stuff is prob a little incorrect, i am working from memory.

Quick resolution is to turn off location services or update the rom to a custom one.

I think i also saw an issue with permarooting.... Had this issue with wife's phone too, it would not permaroot. Gfree was the only thing that worked.

Hope this helps!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDV28:
Some people have reported that the root.sh method doesn't work for them, these cases seem to have something in similar though, the SEMO4G eMMC chip, the "good" one. Since gfree hasnt really been linked to the failing eMMC issues, its a safe choice.
