Hi,
I've been using Xscope for a couple of weeks, and really like it. Everything was working with it, including Flash, until today.
Today, when I try to access any webpages with Flash content, instead of the flash content, I get black boxes in those areas.
I've tried resetting Xscope to default, and also uninstalled it and re-installed it, but still no flash.
I also have tested with the default browser and Dolphin mini, and flash still works with those two other browsers, but I'd really like to have flash working with Xscope again.
Has anyone encountered this problem, or does any know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Jim

Hmmmmm... I just noticed the same thing.
Running stock, not rooted.
Same here, on all my browsers actually. I reinstalled the .apk and it appears to be working on stock and xcsope now. I wonder why it stopped in the first place?

Tried that. Still no good in xScope.
Reinstall Flash then you need to kill xscope in task manager or force close it in settings->applications to force it to restart.

I just did this and still no good. I'll try again.
Question here: I am new at xScope, but isn't closing xScope from the "OFF" button on its toolbar enough to shut it down and then it will restart the next time you use it?
No, you will need to close it completely as turning it off will keep the browsers caches for files like "flash" open.
When all else fails... reboot.

Well... I force closed xScope. I cleared xScope's cache. I uninstalled Flash. I reinstalled Flash. Rebooted. Still no good. I get the black box in place of Flash. Once I did get a Flash at Staple's site but later I only got the black box there too.

Okay, I've never seen that nor heard anybody else report this issue. So no ideas here, sorry. Maybe clear all data for xScope, assuming you don't have anything too important in there? You can always back up the app data in Titanium Backup first, then try that to see if it helps...
Hi,
Can you all check what Xscope version you have? I didn't note the version I originally installed, but I'm wondering if an update was somehow applied. Current version on my Gtab shows 6.37. *I tried to contact the developer, but no response, plus their forum has only spam for last couple of weeks ...
Also, I don't know if I'm imagining, but xscope seems a little slower loading pages since the same time...

Mine shows v6.21. I downloaded it from the developer's site (Trial). It did not change since I installed it about a week or so ago.

Thanks for checking... Since you're on 6.21, and it was working before, it's probably not a problem with an update ...

It looks like I am getting somewhere:
Using xScope I went to the Staples site and tapped the "Load Flash Arrow". The Flash box turned black.
I tapped the Menu soft key (which removed the tab bar at the top and the command bar at the bottom). The Flash box displayed properly.
I tapped the Menu soft key again (which brought back the Tab bar at the top and the command bar at the bottom). The Flash box turned all black.
This behavior appears to be consistent on several sites with Flash.
Wow! You're right, and it does that even with the 'on' setting.
Why would this have changed from before?
Same here. That trick at least got the news feeds working but only w xscope flash is not working at all with dolphin nor the stock browser where as it was a few days ago.
What has happened?

For me, Flash is still working with dolphin mini, miren, and the default browser. The only browser that's a problem is xscope. Have you tried re-installing Flash?

I just went to their site. Says I have version 10.1.1.20.1 installed.
Do I need to reinstall?

I don't know for sure since we don't know why it stopped working. Might not hurt to re-install the one linked on the Viewsonic favorites page.
Has anyone looked into why Firefox for Android keeps crashing on the Xperia V whenever a given page has one or more embedded videos or animations in it? I have three V's, all running the 9.2.A.2.5 firmware, and they all exhibit the problem, to the extent that caused me to stop using Firefox altogether, even on my Windows machines.

I have SG4 stock and since last update FF crashes within about 5 sec of loading a page (any page). Tried to download the beta and have the same problem. So, for now, stopped using ff altogether on the desktop and mobile... since I need the sync feature, I switched to chrome while waiting for this to be resolved.

Ditto. Alas, Mozilla and Firefox used to be so good...
I have tried to leave feed back on the android/google app store. But, f***ing google requires you to sign up for Google Plus account just too leave feed back (talk about trying to passive-aggressively force you into a service)... and I am absolutely refusing to sign up with that stupid service. So, for now can't leave any feed back for firefox or any other ****y/good app.

Update: uninstalling Adblock Plus somewhat helped, but I haven't tested FFfM long enough to be sure that ABP was the actual cause of the problem yet, mainly due to another annoying FFfM issue - flickering text. On any given page, the text blurs out for about one second at five-second intervals. I'm not sure if this is a problem specific to the Xperia V or is a general issue; I haven't tried FFfM on any other devices.
Currently running unofficial CM13, but this issue has occurred on CM12.1 as well.
Every time I try to download the app, the actual download completes but the notification "Installing Facebook" just sits there forever. When I go back into the Play Store, the notification goes away, but the app isn't installed. It also causes any other downloads to lock up until a couple minutes have passed.
On CM12.1, it would download and install, but the installation process would take ~5 minutes.
I'm figuring it's probably an issue with the app itself, but I was just curious to see if anyone else is having this problem.
I face this problem quite often. Even updating the app is a hard task for me now. It either would take ages or doesn't install at all.
I don't know what could be the reason behind it but try keeping the play store window just as it is after touching the install button. It works for me at times. While the window is changed, it never installs.
Have the same. Installed FB lite.
same problem i have rooted stock rom. i thought that problem is due to download manager, my thread is also there at xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/help/change-stock-download-manager-t3252514
have the same problem, doesn't have an answer, but for me it became worse with CM13. on CM12(.1) it was just as you described, but now it slows down the whole phone, rendering it useless. I suspect it runs out ot memory.
Please post here, if someone has a solution

I think it's the app itself. Facebook probably hasn't optimized it for 6.0 yet.

It's not available in my country. Go USA, haha. Not really though.
Had the same problem. Downloaded the APK from APKMANIA and installed. It's working fine now.
Hope it helps!
I've had a similar problem, the issue was that I installed FB Messenger app before the Facebook app itself. Uninstalling both and then installing Facebook first, Messenger second fixed it for me.

They both seem to take a while to install. Probably because Facebook installs 300+ MB worth of data.
So I've recently switched from an S9+ to the P20 Pro, and I'm experiencing a really frustrating bug on the Facebook app. Whenever someone or a page posts 4 or 5+ pictures, I can't load them. I tap on one, and something flashes to suggest they're open but nothing appears. Also with comments. When opening 'more comments' for example, nothing appears. This isn't just occasionally, it's everytime.
I never had this issue with the S9+ which leads me to believe it may be a setting with the Pro.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app and no joy.
Anyone experienced anything similar?
i don't think it's a bug in the phone. More likely a bug on fb..
I've had the p20p for a while and fb have been ok before.
I have the exact same issue.
I third this issue. Was considering clearing cache and reinstalling but haven't bothered to try yet. Facebook regularly tinker with the app anyway.

Glad to see I'm not the only one. I've tried clearing the cache and reinstalling but made no difference. I'll try again, maybe it's something FB will sort
Have the same problem.... but I don't believe it's an issue with the phone. I had this same problem on my V30
I just downloaded Facebook Lite and its working fine. It doesnt look as good as the main app, and nowhere near as smooth but a good option nonetheless
Brothers, I am getting desperate, my flagship is not functioning properly.
What is the problem?
Since 2 weeks ago, Chrome started freezing in all instances, when opened directly, when opening a link from any app, when clicking tiles in google (also google app freezes some times)
How I tried to solve it?
Restarting phone
Clearing cache
Giving all permisiions to all google apps
Reinstalling the system (with backup)
Reinstalling the sistem (clean install)
Upgrading to EMUI 9.1 and updating Chrome (today I got an update)
Absolute nothing is working, Chrome is freezing like clockwork, for example when I scroll a page, it lets me scroll 1-2 screens then freezes or freezes from the beginning or would just not open , freezes in the loading page screen. It freezed even when the phone was loaded only with the basic apps, after reinstalling.
I was thinking of buying the Mate 30 pro or the P30 pro but now I am very seriously doubting I would.
All other apps are working, now when I want to browse I copy the link from Chrome to Firefox (usually it would not freeze right away after opening a link and it is letting me copy the wep address) but one can imagine that is not OK.
Please...someome with the same problem and/or a solution?

Try beta or canary to see if the problem persists. Check dev options and change the WebView option to either chrome stable or whatever version you want to test.

Thanks a bunch for the answer, I installed canary but it would not let me change the WebView implementation , it says "the choice is no longer valid, try again later" although both chrome and canary seem to be available. What I changed tho, is the "enable mulți process WebView" toggle, which is now active and it seems to have worked, at least atm.

Yes, beta option was available, with the same message when I tried to enable it.
No change anyway after I toggled that in developer options , all chrome instances keep freezing the same way.
I installed microsoft launcher and use Bing now as a search engine and when I want to open a link from gmail II copy-paste it in Firefox.
So annoying.
