Dodgyknees Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I actually think my problems were SwiftKey & Chrome combined for VT. Not just Chrome itself. I use stock browser and SwiftKey on the S4 and it's flawless. I am using the keyboard Nayson suggested (it is brilliant btw) and having the problem, on my Nexus and S3 too.

Dodgyknees Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Btw, how can I play .avi files on my nexus without conversion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) What can we expect for Key Lime Pie? My contract runs out in 8 months time and I am thinking of the Nexus 5 - if that is out in time - I would really like some more storage it would solidify my choice.

Dodgyknees Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I'm not sure, my Samsung has become so slow it's ridiculous.. I turned down an Iphone 5 for the Nexus 4, as my boss has one and has done since launch, it is still as fast as ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Can't play several YouTube videos on my new HTC One. It's asking me to load Adobe Flash Player. But when I go to install it, it doesn't seem compatible with Android. Any advice would be welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted June 16, 2013 Administrator Share Posted June 16, 2013 Can't play several YouTube videos on my new HTC One. It's asking me to load Adobe Flash Player. But when I go to install it, it doesn't seem compatible with Android. Any advice would be welcomed. Flash isn't compatible with current Android devices and it is unlikely it will ever be. If you get this is on web sites, you'll need to talk to the site owners. All the embedded youtube videos on VT use html5. not flashplayer and will work on Android. Using facebook on a browser on Android will give flash errors, which is a pain, because no-one in their right minds would give the facebook app the permissions it asks for.

When i try to play some youtube videos on my HTC One they won't play without Flash installed and when i try to install Flash, my phone then gives me the message that it's not compatible, so i guess i'll have to just make do.

Stevo985 Posted June 16, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 16, 2013 The stock internet browser on my S3 runs flash videos. But no other browser I've come across does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 S4 browser still works with the right flash plug in. Firefox will work with flash also. Get that from the play store and then get the appropriate plug in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically in PC world it would be that you're looking to reinstall Windows. Root = permission to (amongst other things) overwrite the previous android installation. It could be that you want to overwrite with a stock ROM, or cyanogen's version or or or, but you need root.

P3te Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Rooting is very easy on the S3 anyway, and it'll make your life a lot easier in terms of getting rid of crap and adding apps that let you clean house a little easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 **But it will also invalidate your warranty and run the risk of bricking the phone. If you can live with that crack on, but you should be aware of the consequences first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
