The help page on the bbc says that it does this for android 3 tablets but doesnt say anything about android 4..
Then when you go to the website it wont let you watch live tv... which is really annoying..
Is everyone else in the uk getting this, or found a workaround?

Use dolphin browser and set to view the desktop site. Works for me.

[EDIT - Haha...dolphin sort of works if I go to the iplay site manually.. although it did keep freezing.. trying stock browser with "request desktop site" checked.. and that works too.]
a couple of questions please
Does it mean that the iPlayer natively only works on Honeycomb but not ICS? I have not updated to ICS yet.
Has anyone managed to get SkyGo working on Sony Tablet S please. I get error 9 and 10 on Honeycomb Wifi model.
The 'Request desktop site' button just changes the user agent and refreshs the current tab you are on.

I've been trying to play video on BBC news website with no success. The loading circle just rotates forever. Funny thing is when I first got my sgs2 it played no problem whatsoever. Also BBC iplayer main website won't let me access it, says my phone not supported. Once again I think I could access it before I upgraded from 2.3.3. Java is enabled in my settings and plugins are allowed. I'm unrooted on stock voda 2.3.5. Anybody else sufferring from this problem?

All working fine here... do u have flash installed OK?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Yeah, running latest version of flash downloaded from market. Using stock browser. Tried uninstalling flash updates, but made no difference. The red ring just keeps whirling round forever and video never plays. All very odd. Every other site I've tried video works fine e.g. sky news, t3, stuff TV, itv news, gadget show. Even BBC one watchlive worked. I guess it must be my settings somehow? But i've no idea what exactly.

Yes, I have the problem as well. It was one of the good things about the S2 that I could watch all the BBC news videos. I guess the BBC have changed something.
I have just tested and it now works OK using Dolphin HD Browser (and you can watch full screen unlike on the stock browser)
Also the videos work on the official BBC news app
I agree, the first thing I checked in shop on demo gs2 was flash playing video on BBC news website. The speed and smoothness really impressed me. Coming from HTC legend ARMv6 where flash was crap, it helped make my decision to buy gs2 final. At least now I know someone else has this issue and shares my disappointment.
Good to know it still works with dolphin hd though. But for me I'd rather stick to stock browser because if hardware acceleration. So the fact it doesn't work anymore is pretty frustrating.:-(

i have solved this problem by using an older version of adobe flash that i still had backed up in titanium backup. but i don't know if thats the best solution since then you won't get the newest versions and security fixes.....
Using titanium backup to roll back flash might be an option. Although i'm pretty sure I would need root. Interestingly I have uninstalled all flash updates back to 10.1 and it made no difference. So maybe flash isn't the problem?

Can you give me a link to try?
I know that the bbc have recently moved over to HTML5 video content.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/22/bbc-moves-towards-html5-for-websites-tells-flash-itll-still-be/
This is probably the issue though I have surfed through the site and it is all working for me.

Interesting article. I presume you want the link to the web page I'm having trouble with? It's just the BBC news front/home page.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/
If I've picked you up wrong let me know.
Also as I stated earlier BBC iplayer (WEBSITE) says my phone isn't supported. Does that also work for you? Thanks for your input

Could you give more info about your problem. Try to explain the situation and in detail your moves. If you cant open webpage give a link then someone can check this. There may be a lot of things so be clear. Btw hi everyone
Yeah, when I go to certain websites like http://almoproav.com it says ''Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player''
Then I click on the adobe link and it takes me to Google Play and instead of '' install now'' it says ''update''. I click on update, go back to that website and still get ''Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player''
Help!!!!!!

In stock browser at right upper corner you have 3 vertical dots. Tap on it. then settings -> advanced -> enable java script must be thick, enable plugins always on. You should now open flash animation on this page. If not uninstall all installed flash players and install only one. There is no need to have it both ( or I misinterpreted sth) Check if its ok. If not force desktop view. To do this you must write down about:debug sentence on adress of site to enable extra options. Then go settings -> debug-> ua string . You will have there android, desktop, iphone, ipad, etc. Try change between this and refresh site. That should help
Update.....
I just realized that it only happens with Google Chrome.... When I use Sony web browser it works just fine...
Why is this??.

Don't know why, but the chrome browser is a buggy piece of crap. Whereas, on my Sony Xperia S, it works like a dream. Why is that?

I don't think Chrome has the greatest tablet experiance - the tab's are just to small for my liking.
What bugs have you found?
Yes mine too. It doesnt like tabbed browsing. Sometimes when I open 1-2 more tabs the pages dont load. Even with just one tab the page sometimes does not load at all. The browser has crashed to desktop on mine a few times as well. The tablets just needs a few things fixing then it will be perfect:
chrome fix
Delay in waking device fix.
Random reboots
Ps store and dual shock 3 native support.

I have problems with tabs too! it goes blank when switching and end up closing chrome and start all over! really annoying
Sent from my SGPT12 using xda premium
it crashes on me almost everytime. I've decided to give it a fair chance by installing it a few times but still the same everytime. Had to go back to dolphin. Dont even bother with chrome at the moment unless it gets a major update.
According to google mobile official blog, Chrome browser is still in a beta phase
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda app-developers app
you have to disable the stock browser, and chrome will be better. But firefox is better on my tablet s
Just like they said. Tabbed browsing is bad. Really bad. Another thing I noticed is that when I open a couple of tabs, it crashes. Some pages don't scroll at times. And it sometimes crashes for no reason.
Its so smooth and sweet on my SXS, it confuses me. Both are Sony ICS devices.

Asus claims that you can side load flash player, but it is not working in any browser. Works fine like this on my tf300 with JB. Anyone know what gives?

Yea just install the apk and it should work with the default browser.. doesn't seem to work with chrome though..
Yes, sideload go in to firefox settings and enable plugins so it doesnt require prompt.

I hate flash - particularly on Windows PC's where we seem to get the flash player update of the week. Yet, I can't quite seem to do without it. Inevitably I'll hit some site where I need it and just saying that I refuse to visit sites that use it won't work for me. I wish it did.
However, with Apple never supporting it on iOS and now support for it on Android going away slowly, I sure hope it dies soon. For now though, I need it.

You can find some methods of reaquiring flash with a pinch zoom comparable version of Dolphin Browser here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846225
Thanks for the suggestions, but I am aware of dolphin and the other suggestions and they are not what I am looking for. How can we fix the JB Rom for the Prime to be like the Tf300 JB Rom so flash works in the stock browser? Not a debate on flash vs html5, just need it to work for one website for a family member who needs it for their internal work site for American Airlines. Again it is working with JB for tf300, just not on Prime with the same flash package and browser.

Not sure why Flash wouldn't be working for you in the stock JB browser. As long as I have Flash 11 installed, my stock browser is rendering flash content fine. Are you certain you have the latest version of Flash installed and that the stock browser is set to always for plugins? Noticed you were looking for a FLASH check box, but you actually need to look for the PLUG-INS setting which is located in "settings" "advanced". Also some flash content doesnt work in the "on demand" mode (for instance flow player)
You can find archived Flash versions here since you can't download from play store anymore.
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
You can install these as long a you have "allow unknown sources" checked in the security settings on the Prime.
Tried streaming all day had some luck using stock browser. little luck with chrome dolphin Mozilla or opera. able to watch straight from youtube using any browser. flash player installed. has any found a work around. an app. or a different website with less ads. any advice

For a start what is the exact problem? And second what version of Android are you using? Flash can be problematic on JB because it's not officially supported now.
YouTube works because I believe it can use HTML 5 which updated Android browsers support

Hi guys, I use VIPBox all the time for games on my tablet. I dont get any issues. Make sure you use the original vipbox .(vipleague.se) theres a few fake copies that arent as good and i'm unsure if that may have any effect on the browser. :victory:
