Glad to fnally hear I'm not alone.

As a test, would you mind going to thatguywiththeglasses.com and seeing if you can play any videos whatsoever on there?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
nope couldn't play vids on there either (sent me to blisteredthumbs.com for the vids I tried)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cphil19:
Quite odd.....

Most are able to play all flash videos without a problem while some of us, like you and me, are having problems with some videos.

What could it be?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
So I tried uninstalling adobe flash with inentions of reinstalling it but noticed it simply say's "update" when I uninstall instead of "install". So after uninstalling I tried other flash sites that worked before and they still worked despite uninstalling flash (seems to only uninstall an update and not the whole thing?). blip.tv still did not work.

reinstalled flash after and still no go.

Not sure whats up with these sites. They have the same video player look though so something to do with the player they are using? I also notice that in dolphin, where I normally get a green arrow that I need to press first to enable flash on a site, doesn't show it for this video player they use.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cphil19:
Do you get the same screen that I get when I try to view these videos? Meaning the gray screen with the little cinema sign in the middle?

As mentioned though the super confusing part is that most people are having no issues playing these videos.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
Yah I get the same screen.

Well I am curious if they tried the blip.tv specifically and had it work or just mentioned that it works because all other flash sites they have tried work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cphil19:
I posted this issue originally on transformerforums.com and every single person said it works fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
hmmmmmm very weird then. And youtube doesn't work for you as well eh? Are you going to the mobile version or full?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cphil19:
Havent tried the full version yet, just the default youtube page. Sometimes it works though on youtube, however i cant control the player at all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
Well I have no idea at all whats going on. My youtube does work fine though which makes it pretty odd. Although I just noticed that when a video finishes on youtube it shows that cinema icon on top of the usual youtube play icon... Still works though
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cphil19:
Exactly the same as me. It almost seems like two different codecs are conflicting?....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] js931:
maybe a rooted device with blocked ads (adfree/ad-away)? this can mess up things, too...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fedefedefede:
I have 100% the same issue as the thread starter. It is a NON-rooted unit and I am afraid that the only fix would be to actually root it and uninstall completely and re-install but with the ICS update coming in 6 days I think I will just wait.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
No flash issues here at all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cphil19:
Thanks for the response. Keep us up to date as I dont think there's many people out there will our issue. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
ICS still doesn't have flash support we are waiting on adobe!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] farplaner:
Really? I had read it's been out for ICS:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
flash videos play fine on my stock browser. my only gripe is that it doesn't play on opera mobile. which is a faster and better browser in general, IMO. opera mobile needs to update their app. I think they haven't updated since October or November.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
Thats not correct. The latest version is supposed to support ICS.

Flash works great on my Prime.

Has the OP tried clearing the data and cache for the browser and Flash. Maybe a bad bit is stuck in there and causing it to bomb out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] farplaner:
I have problems playing live streams from Justin.tv... initially they would run fine, but after a few dozen seconds it would pause, especially during high action sequences, which makes it kinda useless...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fradworth:
Same issue I am having. Stock browser works fine, Opera just shows a giant circle with a "play" icon in the middle of the flash videos. Click on it and it just goes black.

Disappointing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cphil19:
Yep.

Even went so far as to do a factory reset. No luck...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
Could any of this be drm protected material? Wonder if that would affect it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JanetPanic:
I am able to replicate the problem on blip.tv but believe the problem is the javascript on the page (which is not very efficient BTW) not flash. I have my plugins as on demand and the grey cinema box shows up and does its thing (basically shadow box around the player area) and no video or prompt to enable flash. As an experiment I enabled plugins, performed a test, then disabled plugins and retested. In all 3 scenarios (plugins enabled, on demand, and off) the blip.tv site behaved in the same manner. This suggests that the site (blip.tv) is not getting far enough for flash compatibility to play a factor.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
I thought I should share: I am madly in love w/ Dolphin Browser HD and all flash content seems to play fine. There are some intensive flash games that you're better off trying to find out if there is an APK.

But, yeah, If it's a browser issue, try Dolphin.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JanetPanic:
I would also point out that youtube (one of the sites that does not work for you) does not require flash to play videos on honeycomb. I don't know if youtube uses flash when you have plugins enabled but for me it uses html5, not flash. Disable your plugins, go to youtube and try it.

youtube videos embedded in external sites use flash but not the youtube site itself.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newellj79:
I only read the first page of this thread. I'm using dolphin browser because as noted flash doesnt work in opera right now. Dophin seems to play all flash videos just fine for me, including those in the OP. I breifly played with the stock browser and did not have a problem using it either. I'm really hoping that opera gets updated soon as it had become my browser of choice.d
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
great tip but if using opera.you have to put it in tablet mode. then when you go to YouTube site and play a video, it kind of directly sends you to the you tube player, for honeycomb, within the app. it is a working solution though. if you disable flash and go to YouTube while in desktop mode it'll say you need flash plugin. Hence putting it in tablet mode will work.

Another trick I found out in Opera mobile is that if you have flash on demand or enabled in desktop mode and then go to a YouTube, the box will stay black and you'll only hear audio. But if you can remember where the expand button is in the black box and press it, it'll go to fullscreen and play the Flash video good. you just have to try to remember where the lil expand button is at. might work the same for all flash video in opera mobile.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JanetPanic:
Good points and very valid though that was not my intent in suggesting to disable plugins.

The OP lists two sites as highlighting that most flash videos do not work for him. The first is blip.tv, which does not work but the failure does not directly involve flash. The second is youtube where the videos freeze after a second. In the latter I would like to know for the OP if it works or behaves the same when plugins are disabled. If it behaves the same then the freeze was probably using html5, not flash. If this is the case (freezing in html5 where it works for others) then I posit that the source of the problem may be external to the prime, most likely the wireless router that the prime is connected to. If the video plays correctly then it tells us that it is likely an interaction on his device.

Right now though his failure of flash has been demonstrably countered to not be a problem with flash. (BTW blip.tv does not work on my galaxy nexus either so I would not hold out hope for a fix when the upgrade comes.) So rather than continue down that path I would like to probe more carefully and see if we can determine why some people are having problems and others not.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JanetPanic:
By the way blip.tv worked using the desktop user agent. (So did youtube but based on the home page and style of spinner I believe he is using the default user-agent)

Edit: all tests performed using the default browser.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cphil19:
Wow, you are absolutely correct Janet. Just disabled plugins and the result is still the same! So, its in fact NOT a flash issue but actually a JavaScript/HTML 5 issue.

But still, why are only some of us having this problem and others not?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JanetPanic:
Let's take them one at a time

- blip.TV

-- reenable plugins

-- change your user agent string to desktop

-- go to blip.TV and retry

Does blip.TV work with the desktop user agent?

- leaving UA as desktop try YouTube.

Do videos play on YouTube?

Hopefully both answers above are yes. If so we have eliminated flash from these particular problem sites.

Now is the harder part. Why html5 video is freezing for you.

- set UA back to tablet (UA manipulation becomes less of a deal in ICS since you can request the desktop site on a tab by tab basis in the browser.)

- confirm video playback on YouTube is broken again.

Do you have anywhere else you can connect to the internet from? I would prefer to avoid a tether to cell phone and whatever your connection was that caused the problem. Tethering will do if you have no other options.

My guess is that something is breaking the tcp session that the video is playing on and this is causing the problem you are experiencing. Cell tethering would be a possble culprit if the type of data plan used a proxy. Other than that maybe an interaction with your router. What type of connection were you using in the video and if applicable what is the make and model of the wireless router?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cphil19:
Thanks a lot for your help on this Janet.

So, as you thought, when UA is set to Desktop, anything on Blip and Youtube work perfectly fine, showing that it's indeed an HTML 5 issue.

As you suggested, I tried connecting my tablet to another connection, with the only available one at the moment being my cell phone so I'm forced to tether. The result is the same, unfortunately.

For your reference though, the router I usually use is a Buffalo one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JanetPanic:
Hmm not sure on the youtube problem. I like the bufallo routers and they tend to be relieble, besides you had the same problem tethering.

Googling about youtube freezing after a few seconds has a number of hits but no reliable fix that I can see. You already tried wiping browser cache as I recall. Wiping the device won't help. About the only thing I can think of would be to pause it as soon as it starts and let it load more (most?) of the video before you let it play.

Sorry, I am stumped, though willing to continue to try and analyze if you want. It would be easier if I could replicate the problem as I could with blip.tv. Ah well.

Dolphin HD is the winner and it will show hyper links for Amazon.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] compuw22c:
Anyone having issues with certain sites like hulu that block android flash (cant be fixed with user agent) try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1427095

My little script so flash identifies as windows instead of android. Also noticed Youporn blocks stock browser's "desktop" user agent. Use dolphin or something and it works. Once we can set true custom user agents we can set it to mirror windows firefox or something very generic.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cphil19:
Not too worried about youtube as worst comes to worst, i can always use the dedicated app. But the whole HTML 5 has me really stumped, particularly with Blip videos. Any idea why this is?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] farplaner:

-720p resolution screen

-1gb ram

-Android 2.3.5 but ICS soon after launch

-HDMI output

Not much else needed ;)

Worth a look, will be annouced at CES 2012
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
So it has worse specs than an SGS2 and it is something to get excited about? Even worse...its a Sony!

Anyway OP..in march the HTC Edge should arrive (quad core) and if you are into the Nexus, the white and the 32gb model is supposed to be available in february.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CraigLloyd:
Off the top of my head, ViewSonic is releasing a phone in March. The Samsung Galaxy Note is coming, as well as a new Xperia from Sony Ericsson.

You'll have to wait until CES to get release dates or anything like that.

Hardly. Most ROM's don't flash modem's, so that's fine.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrAndroid12:
I was hardly using the phone for about 4-5 hours and battery is almost dead (26%) since removed from charger.

Few bugs I have read from the forums was native battery drainage in android 2.3.3 where android system will be using 50%> of battery.

However, it doesn't seem to be the case for me, android system is only using 3-5% yet battery life is donkey ****.

Kies says my phone is up to date.

Is there any methods on solving this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] .Slane.:
Installing a 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 Samsung ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Raider0001:
Yeah, on mine phone every 2.3.3 activates battery drain in the moment i run gameloft game...

go for 2.3.6 its the most stable
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrAndroid12:
So can I basically install any Samsung based gingerbread roms?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Amboe:
+1

And don't install Samsung Push Service from Samsung Apps, because it drains your battery!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrAndroid12:
Thanks for the suggestions, I have decided to go with JVS 2.3.5 just for the bounce effect. I will test battery life and hopefully it is going to improve :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] LukeSP:
You should use XXJVU
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrAndroid12:
Everyone is going for latest. Is there any performance or battery life advantages over earlier builds of gingerbread?

Changing the build.prop on my HP Touchpad to:

ro.product.model=GT-i9100

ro.product.brand=samsung

Allowed it to see all gameloft games in the market place and download the data. I tried this on my Prime but it doesnt seem to work...

Anyone know of a method?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gr4ybu5h:
I did the same thing when the apps went on sale. The crappy thing is I bought most of their games on my phone thinking I would be able to just get them in the market when I get my prime but no.

I read somewhere that you could email them and they would give you the apk's for the games you bought if you let them know your email address and your phone number. I emailed them and I'm waiting on their reply. Granted I didn't tell them its for my prime so I'll see what they say.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
be careful when editing build prop. there's a guy now who his prime is in some sort of boot loop from doing the same and hasn't been able to fix it yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny-B-:
Order and Chaos wont work, the latest update broke it when i was running it on the TF101.

Previously we had to run the Xoom version of the game to get it working, but whatever they did in the update broke it :(

Its seriously ****e for gameloft not to support the TF. When i did some digging about on their forums, it seemed to be due to a licence problem, IE someone wanted to charge them too much to support the TF/ TFP officially.

Stupid really as im sure TF and the TFP will have a massive share in the tablet market now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
the problem is even with the APK the game does a check when it loads to see if it's compatible, i've gotten MC3 to work but other games will just tell you they aren't compatible when you load them.

it's ****ing lame of them, and i won't support them until they change their policy. ALL tegra2 compat games will work with the prime technically.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SquareBare:
Most companies will write games to work with OpenGL ES which means they work automatically for pretty much every phone that has the hardware to support them.

Unfortunately Gameloft had it in their heads for a while that it is a good idea to write directly for each individual phone's processor instead of just creating one copy for OpenGL and being done with it. Thus massive fragmentation ensued.

Things are a little better now, they are releasing newer games directly to the market and those are generally compatible with all devices. When I got my VZW Galaxy Nexus I was very surprised to see that all my Gameloft Games installed right away without issue. (The one exception was Modern Combat 3 which was updated a week later).

I am pretty sure that the only thing keeping these games off the transformer prime is an arbitrary compatibility check. If they work on the old transformer directly from the market they should work on the prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gr4ybu5h:
Hopefully they give me the apk's, and hope they get updated to work on the prime. Seeing as this a very popular device, hopefully it won't take long. Its the only reason I bought them
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
maybe we should do the same like people did with Asus and bootloader. start writing them and complaining to them. that by not making their games compatible for TF/TFP devices they are missing out on a huge market share. our devices are more than capable of running their games. I have all the great gameloft games on my Ipad like Modern Combat3, Nova2, Splinter Cell conviction, and lots more. I really wish I could get them for my Prime. I think if enough TF/TFP owners complained to them then we might see the results we want pretty quickly.

I purchased most of the Gameloft games during their sale (Knowing that they don't support the prime).

So far I have working :

Modern Combat 3

Spiderman HD

Hero of Spart HD

N.O.V.A 2 HD.

Not working :

Order & chaos (Downloaded data but won't update to latest version)

Asphalt 6 (Errors out whilst downloading data)

Backstab HD (Semi works - Initial download ok, game runs flawlessly though without sound (music plays, but no sound effects). After exiting and re-running the game, you have to download 2-300mb.

Dungeon Hunter - Downloaded data and installed, FC's after intro movie.

For the working games, I simply used APK's which I believe were modified for the original Transformer (Don't think I can post links, google is your friend however)
