Bad flash performance since ICS, look here! - Eee Pad Transformer General

Since ICS update to Transformer 720p flash is completely unwatchable on my Asus Transformer.
After googling a bit I found a bug report in Adobes public bug db with a confirmed problem, GPU acceleration is not enabled.
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3099866
However, Adobe isn't planning on fixing it because of lack of time.
Please register on the bug tracker and press vote, if enough votes come in the issue might be prioritized.

I do not have these problems. Updated Flash once I went to ICS. However, I am using the latest Revolver ROM, so that might make a difference

Flash is dead, long live htlm5

I don't have problem with 720 flash youtube videos.... Stock ICS

I already voted.
Have been experiencing problems on every variant of the stock browser (ICS+, Dolphin and vanilla stock) despite doing a complete wipe prior to updating.
FWITW, Opera updated their client and flash plays nicely on 720p.
Don't know how Opera can make this work and stock doesn't....

Please be more specific. Are you using stock browser, Dolphin or what? Also, is your user agent set to desktop?

Those YouTube videos may not even be flash. It may be defaulting to html5

HTML5 is not a solution yet. Flash is critical for things like twitch.tv. Nothing bugs me more than apologetics trying to dismiss the lack of Flash because "HTML5 is the future", this is the same thing Apple users have done for years while Android users have mocked them.

I also have problems, but only when I try full screen mode. Otherwise it works fine.

Couldn't agree more! I use my tf for a bit of stream browsing on twitch.tv and it bugs me as hell that while everything was fine and dandy under HC it is now crap.
I can confirm that windowed mode works after dolphin's upgrade yesterday but fullscren is still not there. It's like it opens on a "ghost" window somewhere and you can't focus on it to bring it to the front.
Finally can others please try opera to see if this resolves the issues? (Their latest changelog speaks specifically about adding flash functionality for 4.x devices)

Music videos not on youtube app?

My girlfriend was trying to watch a Lady Gaga video on my N1 but it did not show up in the search results of Youtube. Then I tried to search another music video and had the same issue. We got on the laptop and noticed that the videos we were searching on the phone are actually on Vevo. Is there anyway to watch music videos from vevo?

Short answer: For you, no.
Long answer: If you flash the Desire ROM (click my sig) and change the UAString to desktop, yes. I just tested it on the following video and it worked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrO4YZeyl0I. But it's probably way way more trouble than it's worth for you.

Whether ANY video appears on mobile devices is up to the person who uploads the video. There is a setting to specifically allow mobile devices to see the video that has to be set.
Most video companies do NOT check that option to purposely block mobile devices.
A fantastic work around is the App TubeDroid. It lets you search and download ANY Youtube video to your phone, whether it is enabled for mobile or not
It seems like rooting is a headache if you don't have the patience. I think i rather just for the official release of flash on the Nexus 1. And besides I don't want to void my warranty.

TubeDroid is the sh!t! There are free methods to do the same, but none of them are as alsick, IMHO, and well worth the $3. (Even Dolphin sucks compared to it, and I don't like Dolphin Browser). I think the best part is, you can DL it in different quality levels, the best is for HD on a PC, the next level is for the full use of the N1, and so forth.

Elocity A7 tablet section request

Hi guys,
As we know that Elocity A7 start shipping and some had received their toy.
If possible can someone create a new Elocity section.
I am sure a lot of people exited with its new tegra processor
Thank you.
I second that thought
Third it!!!
So far scouring the net i have read one review on Amazon only by someoen who actually got theirs.
Its not vapor eare ad is quite intriguing. Seems it could also be a 7 inch kin to the g tablet
Yes, please!

can't wait for your unboxing
Keys for me are :
1)viewing angles and that resolution is good enough
2)responsiveness of Ui
3)rootable to get market on it
4)battery life
Well my A7 now is at ups truck, can't wait until ups guy knock my door
For resolution I am sure will not be a problem since my archos 70 has some resolution.
Agreed, this needs a section. How can Notion Ink already have a section yet availability set for late January???
Yes new section for Elocity A7.
I ordered yesterday and it shipped today. I'm so excited I shaking.
Received my A7 few minutes ago, it is extremely fast.
The only let down is this device doesn't support hardware multi touch, I think.
Browser that come with it have pinch to zoom support but its jerky and does not render properly, pinch to zoom on dolphin hd is not supported at all.
This defeat the purpose of having tablet as internet browsing machine.
Well, I will wait for few days to see if there is any fix about this issue, otherwise she will go back to tigerdirect

Agreed. Please create this section.

Video Player in Elocity to play 1080P movies?
Can anyone tell me what kind of Videoplayer insalled in the elocity to play 1080P movies. GTABLET doesn' t play 1080P movies with Hardware decode. Also i like the launcher if some can post the APK!!!
Initial feedback
Just my random notes, I'm not an Android developer, but I have been running a rooted Droid for quite awhile. And advanced novice...
-Rooted out of the box, able to install Superuser. Getting fc with SetCPU, but Titanium Backup works fine.
-Wifi connected immediately. Hasn't lost connection. Streaming Pandora for two+ hours.
-Feels very quick. Page downloads in Dolphin HD are quick with minimal latency. Quadrant = 1900
-Able to stream video from Orb via the web interface with no changes to settings (nice!)
-Running apps with no problems: Newsrob, Pandora, Skype, ADW, Act 1 Video, Dolphin
-Winamp wifi sync working
-Speedtest.net: On my 10/5 Comcast account, scored 5/3.5. Droid scored 1.3/.7
-No multi-touch: Tap to zoom in Dolphin.
Wish list:
-Cyanogen ROM
-Overclock
-Marketplace
-Multi-touch
Overall, I'm very pleased for a $299 tablet and I'm definitely keeping it. If 1-3 on my wishlist come true in the next few weeks, I'll be absolutely thrilled with this.
I'd love to see a elocity section. Thanks!
Elocity Section
I'd like to see one created also
Thanks
Give us an eLocity forum please XDA.
Please make this happen XDA! We're making progress on this thing!
It's rooted, out of the box, we figured out how to get into recovery, we got adb working over wifi, we got LCD Density working...
We really need a forum so that we can pull together and get a better recovery installed, we need GApps and the Market, and on to custom roms!
TIA,
Billy

Flash 10.2 update is out!!!

Hello Xoomers! I just noticed an update for Adobe Flash player 10.2! The marketplace states that the update takes advantage of multi-core processors and includes other performance improvements. Checking it out now.
I think it's been out for weeks now

you should be able to run anything in flash now i.e. facebook games and other things like that

I did a clean install after flashing my Xoom last night. I installed Flash 10.2.157.10 then and just now I got a notice that Flash 10.2.157.51 is out.
So its a new update...
a lot of mention of "Android 3" in the update description. I guess they mean Honeycomb 3.0

I just got my Xoom today, Android market report the Flash as 10.2.156.12.
Hopefully this will change soon. Im located in the UK.
The update does show up on my Galaxy Tab running 2.2
Update:
the newer version is now available for the XOOM. but flash in Opera mobile browser don't work any more.

Android 3 = Honeycomb 3.0. What's wrong with calling it Android 3? We call all other phones with Android 2.2 or Android 2.3 etc.. We're on 3 right now lol.
I'm only seeing the beta app for honeycomb. Not anything new.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
Definitely a difference. Amazon Prime videos weren't working before and are working now. Some Flash games had updated recently and broken and are working now and with better performance.
Great, I can download 10.2.157 on my thunderbolt, but it doesn't show up on my xoom
well the best features from this update
wont be available until google updates honeycomb apparently.
people whose update isn't showing up..
restart your xoom, then immediately go to the market
then hit my apps and your update should show up in the left
i got the update today,it says the hardware accelerated flash was for 3.1 only, but it runs flash way smoother now then before, also flash doesnt drain the battery as much as it did before
Sweet! Thanks for the heads up OP!
this updated a big improvment if you let your gf play fb games on the xoom
all the popular fb games work perfectly now

Yep. Hate to get all pedantic but it's either Android 3/3.0 OR Honeycomb. The number is a version of Android OS, Honeycomb is just the codename for it.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
plus our software is listed as 3.0.1
so maybe it was a typo by them saying 3.0.1 lol
if motorola updates the xoom software, i wonder if the google version will even change
I hope someone patches this new version quickly with the hulu fix!

Asus France Twitter says 3.2 available in a few days

just a quick question:
i know there are tons of threads about unrooting... but has anybody after installing customs roms, successfully returned back to stock and still receive updates?
i tried to roll back to the old .9 rom, .13rom( just to check) and not a single uppdate appeared after that.
Yes, great news. 3.2 and dock RMA= perfect tablet

It will probably hit on a weekend to avoid their support getting inundated with initial update calls. A weekend gives people a chance to figure out the issues themselves and not bother support needlessly and if still a problem then they can phone on the Monday.
I believe that is the usual tactic. So maybe we will get it this weekend. You never know!
Good News!!
ASUS had real good jobs in these few updates.
They paid musch focus on Table this time.

besides the improvements to allow more sizes of tablets (smaller ones) the Android Developer site lists the following:
Compatibility zoom for fixed-sized apps
Android 3.2 introduces a new compatibility zoom mode that gives users a new way to view fixed-sized apps on larger devices. The new mode provides a pixel-scaled alternative to the standard UI stretching for apps that are not designed to run on larger screen sizes, such as on tablets. The new mode is accessible to users from a menu icon in the system bar, for apps that need compatibility support.
Media sync from SD card
On devices that support an SD card, users can now load media files directly from the SD card to apps that use them. A system facility makes the files accessible to apps from the system media store.​
But that's just what comes with stock android 3.2. Asus no doubt will have added some fixes and improvements of their own (everyone hopes one such improvement will be Netflix compatibility).
bug fixes i hope
All I want is Fix the lag on the default browser, and better battery life....Hope I am not asking for much......

I fully agree with that
I think 3.2 will should fix the lack of fps in rotate 90 & 180. Motorola Xoom [3.1] , Galaxy tab 10.1 [3.1] have got this same low fps problem like TF. This is honeycomb problem.... and 3.2 on Xoom fixed it... I hope that update will fix some problem and UI will be smoothh I wanna netfix too Better battery life? Fix of SoD? Fix somme issuses with copy/paste when u using custom screen keyboard. Add pinch to zoom on touchpad ? -> we can use 2 fingers to scroll in menu or internet browser ...and why we can't pinch to zoom? Asus please add it
With 3.2 Nova Xoom version will be working on TF

I'm hoping it activates the size down function that turns the tablet into a 7" one for portability.
I just want the battery stats to be recorded and reported correctly. Would love to know what takes up battery life on standby...
Ever since the new update browser and Opera has been crashing a lot more. It's pretty annoying. Hopefully that gets fixed too but it may be a TF thing.

Is it just me or do a ton of websites not work properly on the N4?

Maybe it's the lack of flash support or my bootlegged version but I often catch myself wondering if a page will display properly or not before tapping the link. None of these issues with the HOX.
Is it just me?
yip
I'm guessing that the lack of responses in a few hours time means to ignore the 2nd poster's response.
i think its you, i have no problem here...
would you mind giving a few examples??
If a page has flash I just use the AOSP browser. Otherwise, Chrome is fine. Not sure why you're having issues.
Don't know what you're talking about I totally enjoy browsing on my Nexus 4.

AOSP browser has to reside in system/app to work, meaning you'd need root. You might try using a different browser that supports flash. I believe dolphin browser HD does.
Then install flash player http://d-h.st/x4v
Oh, and don't forget to enable third party apps in settings.
I managed to download both Dolphin HD and flash and I still don't see some flash content.. I'm not going to root and partial flash is so crippling. . I can view flash sites like liveleak though.
You'd think there'd be a way by now!

Android doesn't support flash anymore and adobe isn't supporting mobile. Flash sucks, but unfortunately a LOT of sites use it.
Just out of curiosity, what keeps you from rooting?
I had a bad experience rooting concerning battery life and choppiness in tapatalk/browsers so I said screw that. Given, I didn't spend much time in between rooting and flashing Cm10.1 and also I flashed a really early build of CM, less than a month into development. I wonder if things have improved but I love getting 5-6 hours screen on and having everything soooo smooth that I'm not willing to mess with stock.
Somebody really needs to come up with a fix for those in my boat. Maybe I'll have to learn how to code fluently (only know extremely bare basics) and try it myself.
