+1

HTML5 exists and websites should stop being cheapo's and actually upgrade to support HTML5. That way, by the time Flash stops being supported in August, everything will be fine :)

I don't use much Flash myself, if at all really so it's not going to affect me that much.
[Nexus 7 General] nerfman100:
But what about the loads of flash games and movies? Those can't just "upgrade".
[Nexus 7 General] sparksco:
I agree but when will this happen? Does anyone have a ETA or anything?
[Nexus 7 General] Meaple:
Tough? Flash is good for all the other content out there but I think most of the Flash content is video related stuff. To be honest, it's not any of our fault or Google's fault since Adobe are dropping Flash. I've never played a Flash game on a smartphone or tablet before, but I bet the experience is terrible.

Support is being dropped around 15th August 2012 but you can still install the apk from Adobe's site.

Flash will probably be supported in other browsers like Dolphin, even after Adobe drops Flash. It's not the end of the world, just some people may need to compromise a little.

If I've missed anything, just Google it. There's plenty of articles out there.
[Nexus 7 General] nerfman100:
You're right about this. :eek:
[Nexus 7 General] TidBit:
I agree. I ordered my Nexus 7 and thought I would use Chrome on my work and home computers until it arrives. I wanted to be able to sync up, like they showed in the Keynote address.

What a piece of cr@p. It was slow and buggy (that is putting it in nice terms).

Uninstalled from my home and work. Using Firefox is a JOY compared to Chrome.
[Nexus 7 General] nerfman100:
I love Chrome on my PC. However, I hate the Android version. It's buggy and ugly compared to the stock browser.
[Nexus 7 General] c5satellite2:
Chrome is still very new. Give them some time and I'm sure it will be great. Until then, use dolphin, Firefox, opera or the normal android browser.
[Nexus 7 General] MaxCarnage:
:eek:

Other browsers are TRAIN WRECKS compared to Chrome for me. I have to suffer with Firefox at work because we can't use Chrome here and it truly has become worse over time. FF used to be my browser of choice until Chrome came along, and I have not looked back.

To each their own, of course, but to say that Chrome is slow and buggy...your experience is not the norm.
[Nexus 7 General] mojo22:
But is it fully open source? or partially?
[Nexus 7 General] sparksco:
I agree. For pc windows I use Chrome and pc linux I use Chromium. Haven't tried the android version yet so no opinions there.
[Nexus 7 General] Aus_Azn:
I use the stock ICS browser on my phone and have been a die-hard Firefox user on my PC since FF1.5. Now, I use the Aurora build on my computer.

I've never liked Chrome on PC (again, always been on dev channel) solely due to how much memory it uses with lots of tabs open. Chrome on the phone just seems...less seamless nor smooth, and makes browsing a bit of a pain.

I'll be interested to see how it runs on JB. Worse comes to worst, I'll just rip the ICS apk from my phone.
[Nexus 7 General] Brac20:
I love Chrome on the PC although it still bugs out occasionally, like earlier today I opened one window and the task manager reported about a dozen chrome processes running.

The android version is a bit buggy too at times. I find it fails to load the bookmark page every now and then so I have to close the tab and open a new one to fix it.

I can over look these issues though as I really like the functionality and design of the browser.
[Nexus 7 General] MWBehr:
If you're not using a nexus device, your chrome experience will be very hit and miss (leaning heavily towards "miss"). These devices are what this app has been built around as well as a pristine version of ICS. Anything else seems to break the app.

Also, while flash support is nice and so is Dolphin, I do love the syncing with desktop features of chrome. I personally expect to run Chrome as my main browser with Dolphin as my backup for any flash dependent pages.
[Nexus 7 General] The_Zodiac:
because google makes chrome..... ?
[Nexus 7 General] sparksco:
Really? I wasn't aware of the plain ol' Stock android Browser being on the market.
[Nexus 7 General] foxorroxors:
there's a few places that mention the stock browser will be available on the market
[Nexus 7 General] nerfman100:
That makes no sense, because Google also makes Browser. They're both powered by Webkit.
[Nexus 7 General] DropThePuck:
I've been using Chrome on my Galaxy Nexus since the day it was released on Google Play. I use Chrome on my PC on a daily basis so the syncing capability is great for me. I've had no issues using it on my GN. I do miss the flash capability but have gotten used to not having it.
[Nexus 7 General] savagealien:
Been using Chrome on my Galaxy Nexus since it's been available and have had no crashes or other problems. I even have had 10+ tabs open and it runs just as smooth.
[Nexus 7 General] nerfman100:
The only syncing I need is bookmark sync, which is a feature of Browser too.
[Nexus 7 General] lhayati:
On my Evo 3D chrome is very fast at rendering web pages, but sometimes there are some weird graphical glitches which just ruin the experience e.g. a common one is that the keyboard goes invisible, but you can still type...
[Nexus 7 General] foxorroxors:
seems like some of the reviews aren't too impressed with chrome either

Here is a(nother) video how to install a skin. This video is on a SGS3 (At&T) with an XtremeGuard skin, though other skins and carrier phones are nearly identical.

[YOUTUBE]Dj-Wb-ciBb8[/YOUTUBE]

Some side notes that you may want to know:

- The video is 5:06 long NOT 16 minutes.

- Clean phone of any smudges, fingerprints, or dirt PRIOR to starting.

- Remove battery.

- I use Brillianize for the cleaner and have found it to be exceptional.

- I use Johnsons and Johnsons Baby shampoo as my Soap of choice.

- Micro Fiber towels NOT paper towels, Kleenex, tissues, or anything else that might shed particles.

- I used a plastic stick (chop stick) for my mixing tool.

- I feel anyone can perform the application this way for a near flawless result.

- Make sure not to mix the warm water and soap to rough as it will cause bubbles to form in/top of the water. You can squeege them out but why not prevent them to start with.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jirv311:
Awesome video and damn fine end result. And I'm assuming this should only be done this way for screen protectors requiring a wet install, correct?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tillithz:
Yep, wet install. Personally i think the wet install produces better results. Its not that hard as you can see either. Heck I did it. lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NA 521":
Thanks. Lets say you notice a spec of dust under the screen protector near the end of the installation. Is it possible to remove a wet install screen protector and reapply it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tillithz:
you could easily peal off the skin since it is still pretty easily moved even at the end of the install. Then just clean off phone and re dip the skin, and start over. ty
[Galaxy S III Accessories] GalaxyoS4:
this would be used for plastic screen protectors right? I ordered a tempered glass one and i believe this does not apply to those SP

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henleyryan:
Hi,

I've been using CM7.2 with fxp 119 for some time and today tried an upgrade to fxp125.

Used flashtool to create a bundle with the kernel.sin that came in the zip file.

Flashed to x10.

Booted into cwm and selected install cm7.2 zip from sd card. All ok so far.

But when it rebooted it got stuck at the fxp boot screen, left it for about 30 mins and still nothing. So I pulled the battery and tried to boot it again, still nothing (stuck at fxp boot screen).

I tried wiping everything and re-installing cm7.2 but then it came up with an error (script aborted: assert failed: getprop) which I think means I deleted too much.

My next thought was to re-flash the kernel but now the phone won't boot into flash mode, holding the back button does nothing and it carries on into full phone mode then gets stuck at boot screen.

I tried varying combinations of buttons and try to do it quickly in flash mode before it jumps back to normal mode (which has worked long enough to flash a new kernel via flashtool) but it won't stay in flash mode long enough to get PC companion to repair it.

Any ideas on how to get it back up and running again on any rom?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjornlindekens:
from what i can understand is you CAN flash but its failing on pccompanion ?

so do you think you'll be able to flash a full rom trough flashtool ?

like this one for example

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henleyryan:
Yeah for some reason after a lot of attempts it did a couple of times. I had to preload Flashtool then held the back button whilst putting in the battery and plugging the USB at the same time. However it doesn't seem to do even do that any more.

If I plug it into a mains charger it tries to boot but stops at the bootscreen. If I try to plug it into the laptop on normal mode it tries does the same, if I plug it in whilst holding the back button it just tries to boot as normal then freezes at the bootscreen.

It just won't boot into flash mode at all any more.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjornlindekens:
ive helped someone before with about the same problem .

and at the end it turned out to be something silly .

so to make sure could you do the following steps.

1-Flashtool (select what to flash) then it will ask you to unplug, turn off phone etc.

2-unplug

3-take out battery

4-Replug

5-Hold back button and keep holding it

6-insert battery as your holding back button.

try flashing something you know that works / worked before . or the full rom linked i gave you.

the reason i ask you to do this is, if you cant flash or enter recovery what left right ?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henleyryan:
Yep, am doing as you describe with a rom I know has worked before, but no matter how long I hold the back button it still starts to try to fully boot.

I've got the newest Flashtool but can't get that full ftf you linked, that file site doesn't seem to work for me, hasn't for months, just says it start downloading but never does.

answers that helped solve related!

If you didn't already have your bootloader unlocked and tools in place to reload the Android operating system (ie, ROMs or disk images), I strongly suspected you are completely screwed.

You can install an OS from scratch on your phone, but you need a specialized environment and tools to do so and those are often proprietary and/or secret. It is far easier to load a disk image (ROM) than do a base install. Either way, part of the process is an unlocked bootloader so that you can boot into an environment/tool instead of the existing OS. If you don't have a way to boot into something besides the installed system and have pooched that system - generally the only way you as a consumer have available to hack the bootloader - then you're up the creek. – Logos Apr 6 at 12:34

so basicly there saying if you did not unlock bootloader and a way of booting OTHER then the system itself ... you bricked it ..

if you cant flash

cant use recovery

whats left ?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henleyryan:
Cheers for the comments about SEUS. However, before I had a chance to read them I had already read on another forum about someone using Wotan to repair a different model of Xperia that was in a similar state to mine. So I paid the fee and the thing worked.

It makes think it was something more to do with my laptop environment than the phone. Because the Wotan client came with it's own driver, which my device loaded and used when I connected it holding the back button, this seemed to make the phone stay in flash mode when connected.

From this experience I don't think holding the back button puts an X10 into flash mode, it merely asks the host 'can I be in flash mode?' and either the host says yes or no.

Hi there, i am a proud owner of an i9300, and im searching for a proper youtube downloader/converter to use. I've tested TubeMusic which is quite good ( it embeds into the official android youtube application, and whe u see a video, you press "share" icon and it adds the "Download" option. The only problem is that the files downloaded can only be played properly with the "Tube Music" player. They are still in .mp3 format and they are stored in the hidden fodler ".tubemusic" but the names are all messed up. I'd love if they could give us the setting to download wherever we want, and if it didnt mess with the mp3 names. Any ideas? :confused:

I use Opera Mini to download YouTube vids. I navigate to the site, search for the video and when I click play or watch it automatically downloads the video in either mp4 or 3gp format depending on if I have his or low video setting enabled. Not sure if this is stock on the opera mini or if I downloaded something to enable it but it used to do the same on my Desire Z with the same app.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Google wants to leverage it's Youtube platform as a delivery network for commercial entities. That won't work if everyone can install an app to rip the video within seconds.

So they have to make it somewhat harder, since it's technically not possible to block such services/apps entirely.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalex7777:
By "embed" do you mean that this app is added as an intent from the Share option available on any YouTube video?

If so, TubeMate does this as well. Actually almost any app that is registered as a video filetype handler should be available from YouTube's Share menu.

I've noticed the contacts and SMS app are different in CM9 versus most of the other roms on here. In particular they seem somewhat limited in capability by comparison (can't join contacts, etc), and the colour scheme is a disgusting white+blue.

Thanks for the tip, looks interesting, I might try this out later.

But actually I was more just curious as to the difference between contact/sms in CM9 vs other roms. Being somewhat of a noob my thought is that the others are Samsung specific and the apps in CM9 are not.

The contacts/sms apps found in other roms seems to be more powerful and the colours somewhat match the rest of the interface. Whereas the apps found in CM9 seem to be very basic in terms of functionality and the colours are hideous.

If someone can fill me in, that'd be great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xTRUEx:
Yeah, the one in cm9 is the aosp messaging. And the ones you see in most other roms are samsung messaging apps.

Good call, will give that a try.

That's the definition of "back up". Where you were before that last step.

All SMS, logs, apps. Its really a miracle and lifesaver.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] triumvirant:
so...do you have to reflash the rom from the backup first? or can you just go straight to the backup restore?

to clarify:

1. i decide to try rom #1.

2. i factory reset/clear cache and flash rom #1.

3. i decide i don't like rom #1 and want to try rom #2.

4. i create a backup with CWM.

5. i reset/clear cache and flash rom #2.

6. at this point, i decide i want to go back to rom #1.

for step 7, can i just restore from my backup? or do i have to reflash rom #1 and THEN restore my backup?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Exactly. Go to CWM, select backup and restore, and you will see your backup. Its listed by date and time. Just select the backup, it will run for several minutes, then . . .done. Reboot, and its like rom #2 never happened.
