[Q] Phone locks while playing videos in full screen!Help?? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i am running Resurrection Remix v9.1 (ICS 4.0.3) in my galaxy s2. Everything is good, except that when i play a video in any internet browser and then switch it to full screen. The phone locks while playing the video. So its like the phone doesn't recognize that there is a process going on and does the auto-lock.
This doesnt happen when i play videos using a video player or in youtube or anyother app. Just for flash videos in the browser.
Does anyone know how can i fix it? Any Help is appreciated.

ask in resurection remix rom section....

This happens on all ICS roms i think. I have this issue too on the official ICS...

Just checked the Asus padphone video in browser with screen off time set to 15 sec. Watched more than 2 minutes without problem.

[Q] Video freezing

Hi all,
I got a recent problem since I use custom Roms such as Cognition or Infusion.
When I turn on the phone, MP4 and AVI videos run well, but when i turn off the screen and turn it on back, the stock player is stuck at 0:00 oO and won't ever work till I reboot the phone.
My solution is to download RealPlayer, it works everytime but I preder stock player.
I can't remember if that kind of things happened with stock rom.
Anyone got the same issue and have a solution ?
Maybe nobody has the same issue...

Flash content problems

Hi i recently updated to version 2.3.4 via Kies since then i have been having issues with Flash based content specifically YouTube videos.
When i watch videos in the YouTube app the videos have constant stutter where the it will be smooth then pause the smooth and so on.
Its not just limited to the YouTube app. Videos in the browser on anything higher the 480p are impossible to watch. With constant slowdown and pauses. Not all YouTube content in browse r is like this Vevo music videos even in 1080p are perfectly smooth like everything else used to be.
I have everything updated im just wondering if anyone has any ideas. I have already done a factory reset and tried watching videos without updating flash or YouTube app no change.
Im not rooted completely stock any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou.
I find it a little strange that nobody answered that question yet.
When I thought back, when my SGS2 shipped with Android 2.3.3 , flash content ran ultimately smooth in stock browser, even with 1080p. Now I'm on Revolution ROM 2.7.1 (Gingerbread 2.3.5) with Siyah Kernel 1.7.7, and flash content runs horrible.
During playback in stock browser, the videos stutter all the time! There is a small but annoying trick to get it smooth: scroll a little up and down, keep your finger on the touchscreen all the time. now you can see that the video runs great, but you have to keep your finger on screen during the whole playback!
Had the same issue with CM7 and MIUI, too.
What is the matter with that?!
Come on, is there no one else here being a little pissed with this issue, too?!
Compare your browsing experience with that:

The Firmware is at least 6 months old, but browser performance is far superior and the stock browser has this fancy rotate animation, too!

Browser and YouTube hangs

Hey I experience hangs in browser every 5 seconds. Its unusable. YouTube also. And loading time for stock apps is awful. I mean Settings stays black for 5 secs. Thats my only issues. Someone know how to solve this or i am going to RMA it.
dear friend,
i was having the same issue then i download youtube app taking from Galaxy tab 10.1 and its work great.
Hmm maybe a other browser
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
When switching to full screen with the youtube app OR in the browser flash plugin, flash stalls and there is no other way than to force close the apps.
Sometimes it even leads to a reboot.
German ICS Prime here (.11 build).
Same problem here, youtube stops and buffers lot on HD videos.

[Q] HD videos from youtube choppy after upgrade to ICS

Hello!
After upgrading to ICS 4.0.4 the video from Youtube are playing not smooth. This happens only to HD videos, SD videos are okay. This happened after I upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 from 3.x. Before that everything was good. When I enable "Show CPU usage" in "Developer option", I see that skipping frames starts when mediaserver uses the cpu (I attached a screenshot). Tried to to "Factory reset" - did not help. When I did factory reset, tried to watch any HD video - same thing. I use the tabled only to read news and watch something from youtube. Some other application are installed (for Kids).
WIFI signal is strong, I see that video is buffering ahead of playing, not rooted.
Question is - what to do to fix this issue with ICS 4.0.4 or how do I roll back to 3.2 or even to the ROM that was in the box when I bought it.
You cant really fix it if you are not rooted. Samsung's fault.
The only way of fixing it is going back to HC and rooting and installing Custom ICS or JB roms did not help at all for me.
In HC, the Youtube plays smoothly in the app, but still lags in the web browser..in www.m.youtube.com
In ICS and JB, both options lag like hell.
I downloaded Pimp My ROM from google play, and set everything possible that is present to make the tab faster and perform better, and the youtube is a little bit better now, but still there are lags. It's definitely better though.
But still, Youtube in HC plays better.

[Help] Neo - MT15i Serious video playback issues and crashing | Please help

This problem started for the first time around December 2012 and hasn't gone away since.
Here's the description of the problem:
Whenever I play HD videos in youtube they start displaying lots of artifacts, both in fullscreen and normal screen (the attached thumbnails show this problem).
Same thing happens when I watch HD videos using the stock player, although with less intensity.
If I continue watching the videos for a few minutes the phone will just reboot by itself.
It happens with any video that is HQ (possibly some problem with H264?).
It also happens with 3rd party video players.
And here's what doesn't make the problem occur:
None of the above problems happen when I downgrade to Gingerbread.
ICS - Play the videos ok in youtube with HQ option disabled.
ICS - Play ok non HQ videos with the stock player.
This is what I have already tried since then:
Full formats, resets, repairs and wipes.
Use different firmware versions.
Use original stock branded firmware via official updates.
GPU rendering off and on.
Adobe flash player uninstalls and updates.
Ugraded and downgraded youtube.
With and without root.
Installed newer Adreno 205 drivers.
Use safe mode.
My current phone specs:
Xperia Neo MT15i
Android 4.0.4
FTF 4.1.B.0.587
Kernel 2.6.32.9-perf
Operator TMN PT
Locked Bootloader
Rooted
------------------x------------------
I really need your help, I have been trying to fix this for almost a year now and I still haven't found anything anywhere that could fix this and I can't stand Gingerbread. I want to use ICS without having these problems whenever I try to play HQ videos, hope that someone here can give me a hand with this, please.
