I'm having only one serious problem with my Vibrant, and while it's a little problem, it's frequent enough that it is driving me nuts, and also doesn't allow me to use (at least) one of the apps I use every day.
The issue is, when I go to some web sites, whether in the stock browser, or in another browser, like Skyfire, or whether it's in the browser within an app (for example NewsRob articles) I get a psuedo-crash where it opens the stock browser and says:
In a pop up box: "Problem with file The requested file was not found. webkit/"
In the browser window itself: The Web page at file://android asset/webkit/ could not be loaded as: The requested file was not found. webkit/
In the address bar: the same url as above.
If I hit back a couple times, it will take me back to whatever content I am looking at. But this is incredibly annoying when it's half the articles I'm trying to go through on NewsRob, or when I click certain links and it comes up and I have to hit back a few times before I can look at the page.
I have noticed the following:
- it seems to happen on pages that use Flash, it might be javascript as well, but I'm not sure. HOWEVER, disable plug-ins and javascript in the browser setting does not change the error from happening.
- thinking that it has to do with Flash, I looked into it more on the device. I noticed in Applications, it shows Flash listed, as well as Pineone Flash lite" so I don't understand what level of flash the phone has.
- I also noticed that (coming from a Nexus One and myTouch Slide) I don't see thumbnails for a lot of flash video content like on those devices. If I got to sites with Flash content that is not a video, it's just not there.
Anyway, if anyone knows how to fix this, I'd be much obliged.
I searched google and found almost NOTHING, which is shocking and makes me think perhaps a hard reset would fix it, but I'd really rather not have to re-set up my phone if it's not going to help.
The only thing I found online was that apparently some Droid X owners are having the same issue.
Anyway, any help would be great.
I have the same issue and just assume that samsung modified the browser so it broke whatever plugin its trying to access. The problem is any articles in newsrob that have an embedded video.

But I've found that it's any link from anywhere that leads to a page that has a video. Which is immensely annoying.
any other ideas? does anyone else have this issue?
Captivate too
My Captivate has same issue. Thought I had broken the phone rooting, enabling sideloading,or hiding the bloatware.
My guess is it's probably related to flash lite 3 which is a plugin preinstalled on the vibrant. I'm going to assume that this problem will disappear once froyo rolls out.

I'm getting the same problem as well on my Samsung Captivate. Very annoying since more than half my articles have links to videos in them.

I tried removing the flash files from /system/app and rebooting. It still happened. Disabling plugins in the browser doesn't help either. Irritating as hell, I sure hope CM6 or the official 2.2 release come out soon and fix this. And the GPS, compass, etc..
I had the same issue with Dolphin Browser HD, but I haven't had the issue yet with the stock Vibrant browser.
Does anybody have any insight on this? It's still plaguing my newsrob whenever there is an embedded video in the feed.
It's a problem with flash lite files. The vibrant has trouble with its implementation.
Not sent from my Vibrant using XDA App 'cause I returned it.
I hate to make froyo this holy messiah but will froyo fix that as well?
I'm actually hoping froyo literally cures cancer.
Btw, I'm on a Captivate, but this topic wasn't in that forum. I thought it would be relatively universal though.
Hey all,
Any Copilot users here? Are you able to create any new favourite locations? The process all seems to go through properly for me but then no favourite is created, even my recent destinations doesn't update itself, it's like something isn't able to be written to. Anyone else?
I'm using OD 3.1.0
Thanks
Russ
I'm sorry to say, but if you bought copilot you have to contact the official support. If you did NOT buy it: GO AWAY - these requests are not wanted in here!

Woah there horsey, that's a big assumption! Someone needs to decrease their righteousness.
I did indeed buy it, no dodgy copies here and I have contacted support directly but sometimes knowledgeable people with faster response times can be found on here.
i have no problems saving favorits on my copilot, im using version 8.2.0.218, i dont know if this is of any help but if you run copilot without the gps on it dosent seem to save anything you do
Same version here, GPS is definitely on too. Could be an Opendesire ROM issue maybe?

try clearing the data & cache in settings/applications, see if that helps
That was the first thing I tried. Then I uninstalled and even deleted the folder from the SD Card and reinstalled from scratch downloading the maps again and everything...no luck

maybe you should try a diffrent rom then sorry i cant help more, but its defo working on mine
Thanks anyway, appreciate the input. Lets hope an OD user stumbles upon this thread
I'm going to make a suggestion here, now don't think am saying this is better than that but have you tried sygic mobile maps instead? I use it myself and it's available from the HTC store so does that say anything for it?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I had this on my Hero when I took the sim out so can't really help. I tried NDrive when my Copilot expired (even though I purchased it months ago) and didn't like it at all (the UI wasn't very polished). Good luck if you contact Copilot support, they aren't the quickest.
I had that problem, updated to version v8.2.0.251, and the problem seems sorted.
Ooh yeah just noticed a new release today, has fixed it for me too, must have been a bug.
On a loosely related note...do you still have the option to turn off the "Welcome to Copilot Live" speech greeting when you start it? Seems to have disappeared on mine or I forgot where it is
No, lost the option to turn that off, along with the annoying beep every time you select something.
Same here...I'll send a message on twitter to their support
Good Luck,
I did report these as a problem by email a couple of weeks ago, and they notified me about the update 4 days ago. At least they solved the major problem in my eyes, only two more to go.

if you use the tts voice it doesnt say it, well atleast on mine lol
i have version 8.2.0.368 but i can not seem to save anything from home to favorites. wherever i exit the app, they are gone
Is ANyone NOticing the lag in Browsers.
I have tried Miren, Dolphin HD, Opera and STock Browser and neither of these browsers was ale to open even www.streaksmart.com and few other websites.
There is something wrong with the radio signals may be.
I have successfully applied D_Steves Performance tweaks and others mentioned here, Yes, the phone is getting a Quadrant of 1600+ but being not able to Browse some websites sucks big time.
It has nothing to do with the tweaks, Dell ****ed up again, Not to mention there no App with Front Facing Camera usage for Video Chat.....
Why the Hell is this happening???
Anyone else having sluggish browsing, Fards or DJ_Steve coould you Please look into that since you are the only Genius Chaps I know of....
I've noticed this too, I'm on T-mobile 2g and even though that may seem slow, it worked like a charm with 2.1. Then I switched to the 00 baseband with steve's build, and google seems to be the only site that works half the time. I was about to switch to the official 2.2, but hearing that you're having trouble as well is discomforting..
Its an identified bug.
Apparently opera and firefox work fine.
Dell are aware of this problem.

I can't find what's causing the error admittedly I'm no longer on stock so stopped working on it si much) I. Suspect its an error in the dell webkit Source code, and is likely to need a fix from them. they have stopped the roll out to fix it
As I know from dell facebook page, dell is working on this "too many redirects" problem, but I have worse case and I don't know if it's just me or everyone on 12332 build with smokku performance fix, on 3G very often some random websites can't be open (web page not available) even when I start default browser on which google.co.uk is default, it can't be open - it's loading and loading and after a while a web page not available error appears, and just a bit later it works again, so I visit another website and it's loaded stright away but after a while the same problem. I don't have it on 2G or via wifi, the same behaviour is on dolphin hd browser, so it does not depend on the browser, could you check that for me, please?

Yeah, I have the same problem too mate, don't worry you are not the only one suffering here, dell screwed us up again, Dolphin hd didn't work at all for me, i was unable to open a single webpage especially in desktop mode, right now i am using skyfire v3.0 and it is working very efficiently, give that a try and let me know how it works out for you, we can only wait for dell to fix this...
Bbtw I hour the same issue but it only started today, everything worked fine before I've been on stock 2.2 for a week now and til today browser, stock and dolphin worked fine
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
ok, so I'm not alone yes, I'll try skyfire then,
do you think that dell can fix that issueing just kind of patch or it has to be complete new froyo build?
cheers
Just checked now I only can't get the default browser and dolphin to work on 3g but on wifi its fine, btw it worked on 3g 2 days ago really weird that it stopped now

As they were mid roll out when we highlighted this, im presuming they will push new complete builds out.hopefully they are looking to fix other bugs in there as well
RE: Slow Browser
my pc's internet connection is very slow too, which always drive me crazy, I want a program to solve my slow computer, several days ago my friend recommend me a software tuneup360, now I'm waiting for the result. i wonder do you guys have any good recommendation?
Copilot is freezing (not force closing) on me after about 30 seconds of doing anything in the menus. If I can get to the destination screen quick enough I can put in my destination with no problem and it won't freeze on me while giving directions. Anyone else having this problem?
No one else is having this problem?
freezing
im so glad its not just me
random freezing with co-pilot if you open o
in portrate i
locked it will try to work
i sent them email please do the/same
Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone either I sent an email on Friday about it.
Saw this on their twitter feed (posted 31-March):
@copilotsupport CoPilot Live Support
@pappyxmas We are adding support for Xoom in the next update coming soon.
Seems like the Xoom would be most like our Acer.
And on the list of supported devices:
Motorola - Droid 2, Droid Incredible, Droid X, Milestone, Milestone 2
So... seems like it's not there yet.
yes same for me. The 15min. Refund policy is robbery.
How do u get a refund if it never works?
im sure they will get this fixed soon. i do really hope so very blonde here and need this app to work.I have not found another turn by turn nav that comes close
HI All
Im an ex-apple Fan boy....who has had his Galaxy S4 for 3 days.
The Good.
Responsive as hell
Camera Rocks
SD card should be a standard on all cell phones no matter who makes them
Love the vivid colors.
The Bad
My first problem was with the brand new version of gmail. Every time i got mail in my notifications....instead of a list view it was a giant mother notification and then a few small ones after that. I later learned you can resize that with a swipe of your hand...then that if you uninstall the update that, that would fix it. It did....kinda. I then tried the samsung mail app...which sucked. It didnt scale to fit the content. I tried aquamail...which was ok, but not as responsive as gmail.
Second. Browsers. I know there are like a thousand of them. I started with the stock browser (which i ended up liking the best). But i had a major glitch. Every time i tried to do a google search and use search tools (time..place) it would die on me. Either freeze of would not recognize what i was trying to do. I tried them chrome...ehh, boat...ehh, next. double ehh.
I contacted a rep from samsung....and he told me to try wiping the cashe...try this try that. Even tried a factory reboot.
Nothin...
Then he tells me i might have a lemon.
Wonderful. What the ^#%#[email protected]!! are the odds that i want to try android for the first time and i get brick.
Everything else works great....but im unsure what to do. The two things i use this phone for more then anything else....email and browsing dont work.
Anyone have any helpful hints at a fix?
Thanks

Did you try to update to the latest firmware available? It may worth trying see if it fixes your problems.
If you only use Gmail, try Boomerang email app. They will also feature other email providers in the near future...
For the browsing issues I recommend you try dolphin browser. It's quick, stable, feature packed, has a bunch of add-ons available, and supports Adobe flash.

I was also qurious to find out if there are any heat issues while gaming.
And bro, use something from the store, now that I think of it, I'm not using a single stock app. Even the gallery.
