maximizing flash videos = crash

[Jussumguy88]

for some reason anytime i try to maximize a flash video in dolphin hd or the stock browser, the browser or the tablet itself will crash. Has anyone else encountered this issue? and know of any fixes for this? thanks in advance.

I had the same issue and I posted here at:

No one responded though. If you keep maximizing Flash video this way, as I explained in my thread, you may eventually corrupt an important system file. I had to perform a Factory Default Reset just to get the tablet to work properly again. It was a pain because everything was erased.

So now I don't even maximize flash video anymore just to be safe. BTW, it happens in the stock browser and Dolphin.

Corrupting system files? That's a scary notion. Maybe Jobs was on to something with his anti-flash campaign. I've had the crash a couple of times myself, so I just quit maximizing flash video for those few occasions that I even watch flash.

Yes, this is a major issue for me. I now just pinch zoom instead, but I rather it gets fixed.

thats unfortunate that i'm not the only one thats having this issue. I too, have since, stopped maximizing my flash videos when i do watch flash. I haven't had to do any hard resets or factory resets though and the tab is still running fine, with your occasional random reboot. Other than that...its fine/

I have the same problem in all browsers including std browser Boat browser and browser ICS
Very fruststrating wish they would sort it out . Perhaps HTML5 is going 2b the solution
However I love my PRime best money I ever spent

It seems that HTML 5 will be the way to go...

I am familiar with this also, although it has gotten MUCH better after I did a factory reset. The 500+ apps and dozens of live wallpapers may have also caused some stability issues so I can't rule out installing anything and everything as a possible cause is my case.

Whatever the root cause is, from my experience flash videos will cause the Prime to reboot every once in awhile, as of right now it has been about a week since that has happened. It has never caused any corruption for me but it is annoying having the Prime freeze and reboot and after it is done rebooting the video plays fine without any side effects.

I did notice that after doing a factory reset, it did make it a little better. But I still was having issues with random reboots & freeze ups. Not like before, but still having them nonetheless.

i updated the adobe player today. i'm not having any crashes maximizing flash videos at the moment. i mean i always rooted todayand such and what not. not sure if that' may or may not have played a part in flash working decently.
