Stock browser seems to play nicer with flash videos and using full screen.

Dolphin and dolphin Jet pack both gave me errors.

Will test on Firefox and chrome.

Chrome - working nicely too, faster than stock.

Firefox - loads video but no option to allow full screen :( Firefox allows (with addon) to download the flash videos from the page.. Works well :)

:thumbup:

Flash video plays very smoothly though...no stuttering.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Jmoney707:
i cant get full screen on any browser to work have you guys been successful using full screen i would love to use full screen mode due to the amazing screen on the phone
[Galaxy Note 3 General] logichoops:
How did you get flash to play in stock browser?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] toker_X1:
Ry2mkk is confused

Flash is not supported on Stock Browser or Chrome. Dolphin used to work but now crashes when trying.

Firefox works for me and plays full screen too, there is a flicker at the start of the video.

Using Adobe Flash Version 11.1.115.81
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ry2mkk:
See my screen shot... Flash is indeed working on stock

EDIT ** apologies, guess my site wasn't using a flash video as I've just tried the official flash test using default browser :thumbdown::(

Sorry for any misplaced hope lol.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] logichoops:
if that is the case then i repeat my question how did you get it to work on the stock browser? I have been unable to do so?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Tekara:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/get-back-the-aosp-browser-without-root/

Flash works fantastically with the AOSP version of the stock browser, which includes full screen. AOSP browser also has the bonus of fullscreen browsing + quick controls.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ry2mkk:
Followed guide... Step one didn't fail like guide said it would... Restarted and tried to install the app posted.

Failed to install...

[Galaxy Note 3 General] choch69:
Didn't work for me. Installed the old flash and tried in Chrome and stock browser. Pixlr still asking for flash. I don't want to install a bunch of browsers just to open flash sometimes. I already have two browsers and adding like 5 more just to have one function each is silly.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] micrapple:
I'm just wondering. If you remove the current stock browser from the N3 and actually install Google stock browser and then install flash. It should work because Samsung did remove some of the feature of the stock browser like activating plugin therefore you can't use flash.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] EillonCross:
Interesting I am going to have to try this. I don't really care for flash content as much as I used to, but it would be cool to have just to say that I have the capability.

Cant we get note 2 stock browset installed on n3?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Tekara:
Since I'm rooted, this is how I installed the AOSP browser. I went into system/apps and removed the old browser and placed the AOSP browser in there.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] iznee:
Can you share the AOSP browser that's working on your device please.

Thanks

Anything for non rooted?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] njfoses:
You don't need to be rooted for flash.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] blackout720:
No root needed at all. Just a once download, a simple settings click and a browser download is all that's needed. You can do all of it from your phone in less than 2 minutes. I have had success doing this on 3 Tablets, and 7 different phones.

Nexus 7, Asus TF101, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy S4, Galaxy S3, Samsung Reverb,Motorola Triumph,Lg Something,Note 3,Note 2, and actully others too.

Hi guys, I'm talking about the aosp browser to allow flash, I have four different browsers on my non rooted note 3, so do I need to root? Thanks again
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Samzebian:
could you tell me how you got this to work?

I tried a few different things already, renamed the samsung browser to the same name with a .a at the end, installing your version of the browser, rebooting, deleting and not even installing the apk, but just copying it and starting the app, I keep getting the browser loading for a second then crashing. I just rooted a few hours ago and did a few small tweaks but nothing that should interfere with this, what am I doing wrong?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Tekara:
Only real procedure for the browser.apk I linked is to copy it to /system/apps making sure the permissions are the same as every other apk in the folder, reboot the phone, and then run it like any other app.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Samzebian:
OK, so I didn't set permissions. I removed the one I had, redid the whole process and set it to 644, still crashing on me...z

just to clarify I fixed the permsissions and it's still crashing on me. Halp!

Firefox & Dolphin working fine here tho at the start of any flash video about 10 seconds in I get a black frame for a second or 2 before video returns.

Why do you think there is no vibrator in the N7?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] burhanistan:
Cost cutting.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] iamezio:
It cost money , and when you sell a tablet for 229$ with a high end CPU , 2GB of DDR3 memory , and a 1920X1200 7" IPS screen you need to cut corners where its the least noticble ..
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] GoneTomorrow:
Because it's useless.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] burhanistan:
I wouldn't go that far, but I usually disable it for keyboards and such. There's plenty of possibilities for it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] iamezio:
I really like the haptic feedback for the kayboard , the click sound does help to some degree, but when you need to mute the device it feels weird to type.. its not useless , but its better to cut this corner then something like the device's body with feels amazing, more when you remember the soft touch is just plastic.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] player911:
The motor is the biggest user of battery. It kills battery.

But it is a nice accessory to have. I enjoy unlocking my nexus to a gentle rumble. It works on something's but useless for most. Plus such a large device would probably need a decent motor. I guess they feel haptic feedback is wasted on such a large device. Cost savings, I can't say. Even at a $1 a motor across $500,000 devices is $500,000 in the pocket.

I don't really notice it honestly.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] iamezio:
Does Asus puts haptic feedback in any of its tablets? for example I know that the Note 10.1 has it , so probably other samsung tablets has them too.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] hyperspacey:
I can't think of a tablet off the top of my head with a vibration motor. It's probably due to the fact that on a device bigger than about 6 inches, the motor either has to be prohibitively large to be felt equally around the tablet, or it's too localised.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] danvee:
The Toshiba Thrive 10.1 has one, but that's 3 generations ago....
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] PMentior:
If I remember right the Nexus 10 had one.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jonovw:
A few of the Samsung tablets I used have vibration motors so there's a few at least.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] pheonix991:
I use my tablet as a laptop replacement, not a phone. I disable haptic on my phone anyway.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] rodeo_calling:
This is something I had no idea about. Of well, a small compromise I guess. My Nexus 10 has haptic feedback and I'm quite used to it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] plznote:
I love haptic, sad its gone. Not really a major deal breaker.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sen-cha:
Agreed on "not really a major deal breaker." The Nexus 10 and Nexus 4 haptic was nice, but usually turn off it anyway to save battery.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeStonebridge:
Hello all,

I'm new to the Android world after years with an iPhone, so please bear with me if I seem to be asking stupid questions :confused:

I'm more than happy with the Z1, it's got that weighty feel that makes you feel like it's quality, and to be honest that's what's bothering me. I'm very careful generally but the job I have can get a bit rough at times and I'd like a case that will keep the phone safe if it gets a bit of a bashing.

The problem is the waiting time of one month for the case I want on mobilefun .co. uk, there is another but it's a casemate one and I've not thought highly of them in the past. So my question is does anyone know of any other hard wearing cases available? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW is it just me or is anyone else struggling with the ridiculous image verification things? :eek:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Allein8:
I'm debating between the G2 and the Note 3 and while I like both, I prefer the G2 overall, but the camera has me worried.

Note 3 so far seems to handle video fine and takes quick enough shots to capture pets/children scampering around. Low-Light isn't so good and might actually be worse then GS4 and N2 due to software changes which is annoying but hopefully fixable down the road. Overall, seems Note 3 doing well, but I'm not sure if it is worth forking over another $100 and dealing with the larger size when I prefer the smaller G2 just for the "chance" it has a better camera.

From the various reviews I've read and user reports on here, the G2 does very well in well lit situations, but may or may not be having issues in low-light and video.

I'm not big on video, but the audio and focusing problems do concern me a bit. I've read little to no feedback on taking quick photos capturing children/pets running around and am having my doubts with how the focus works (or doesn't).

While obviously low-light isn't a real strength for any phone, it's hard to get a real grasp on the G2 when review sites say it is great and does better then the rest (maybe due to office/studio perfect set ups?) and then users say it is down-right terrible without proper lighting (real world use).

Just looking for any feedback or samples of G2 users taking photos in low-light and of quick moving subjects. Search isn't working for me atm, but haven't seen any threads going into these too much. I really want the G2, but the Note 3's positive feedback is pulling me away.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geekybiker:
So what I'm experiencing is that the stock camera app wants to lock focus before it takes a picture. If you're ever used a DSLR that spends awhile hunting before shooting in low light, that's what it feels like. Some other non-stock apps are a little more free with the shutter and take a picture without confirming focus (like a lot of P&S camera where you get blurry out of focus shots). So you can trade a quick shutter for worse focus depending on the app you use. The flash does a weird step down thing if you're really close to a subject (focal and stock) Super Camera does a more standard flash, but its still substantial shutter delay when using flash. You might be able to find other apps that have different flash behavior. So if you're shooting things that aren't going to run off in low light you might be fine. If they're moving you might try turning off the flash. The shutter is much quicker that way and maybe OIS can help make them sharp enough for you.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr4nk1yn:
While this camera is really good in lit situations low light it's just plain bad and no other apps can fully comensate.

I bought ProCapture, already had FV-5 and numerous others from back in the day, (camera zoom, camera 360), tried focal. on and on.

Photos of children and pets even in "normal" lite rooms at night come out looking like watercolor abstracts and it has to be at a ROM or firmware level since all the apps do it to some degree.

If photos are you thing then the Droid DNA with a Sense5 ROM will produce fantastic results easily.

Im not really sure what is the problem is that. if anyone know how to solve it, pls reply. i think this will be very helpful for other users as well.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] randpost:
I'm looking through the 20 or so videos I took out doors with my Verizon G2 at the zoo and other places and the image isn't as bad as your representation. Maybe you are on the wrong setting or your phone has issues? Other video comparisons are out there also and I have yet to see your results duplicated.

Comparing videos I shot today with my Note 3 I would say they are both good but the G2 is better because of the reduction in noise during movement.
