I'm assuming it doesn't allow you to download either? The best thing about my Nokia 5800 was the iPlayer app as you could download the programs for viewing later.

It won't let you download but you can do that from your PC and copy a program across so it's no loss.
 
Nexus18, do you find the USB connection for file transfer takes ages to connect on the CMa8.3 software? or is that just my phone being gay? lol

Lol, nope haven't noticed that at all on my configuration based on CM 8.3, will connect within a second or so, although I don't really use it that much anyway, only when transferring a large number of files i.e. 20 or more or something large in size i.e. 50MB or more. I use estrongs file explorer to transfer most of my files etc. across to my mobile from PC or vice versa.

Roughly how long are you talking about?

Plus I am using lukiqqs kernel at the minute, which is extremely quick and smooth compared to just stock CM 8.3, and I haven't tried it out at all with just stock 8.3, so could be a problem with it maybe, but I haven't seen anyone else mentioning it in the discussion thread.

Apparently lukiqq kernel V4 is even quicker/smoother now, going to put it on later tonight, just a shame that battery life for me so far is crap with his kernels :(


Also could you try this out on dolphin mini please? As this hasn't worked at all for me since CM 8.2, if you try loading the below URL, which has 4 youtube videos on it and see if they display for you and launch the youtube app when you select them:

Also make sure that you have enabled plug ins in the settings menu.

Also I seem to still have this problem where youtube videos won't actually show at all with 3rd party browsers, it's just a blank space, where as with stock it shows properly :confused:

Any ideas?

Also I have made sure that the plug ins are always enabled.

Thanks.

Would appreciate it if you could try that out. Thanks.

Yeah sure, will try that out in a minute... Lukiqq's v3 crippled my phone lol might try v4 and see if it's any better :)

No mate, doesn't show the videos - in Dolphin Mini or xScope

Same issue with my Hero CM7 (gingerbread). Even default browser doesn't show youtube vids. Yet if I roll back to 2.1 with sense, it works fine in the default browser.

Thanks very much :)

Shame it doesn't work, guess I'll just have to stick with the default browser then :(

Lol, it's very fast and smooth but comes at the cost of poorer battery life and not being as stable compared to all the other kernels etc. also I think I might hold off on V4 till this bug is fixed:

but sometimes lock screen not work.. [reboot needed].

And the other existing bugs at the minute are:

4 Recovery Screens - 4 recovery screens because of 24bpp - Will be fixed
Screenshot Problems - Some screenshot apps don't work because of 24bpp - Might be fixed in future

But the V4 change log does look very impressive, I must say:

v4 changelog:

- fixed Framebuffer by tom3q, thanks

- changed CPU frequency scaling, now in sleep mode we have 266MHz which can be boosted to 400MHz and 800MHz by ondemand governor (now used by default), now all is even smoother.

- some minor tweaks

- fixed broken menu in Camera

- replaced CONFIG_USB_GADGET_VBUS_DRAW=2 with CONFIG_USB_GADGET_VBUS_DRAW=500 which should affect faster charging via USB. (thanks Ch33kybutt)

It is very annoying, surprised it isn't working on the default browser for you though :confused:, same as well for me when I was on 2.1, all the browsers displayed the youtube videos.

AngryBirds doesn't work with his V4 (or with V3 for that matter...) so I'll be sticking with standard CMa8.3 for now ;)

Plus the 4xRecovery bug really does my head in lol
 
Lol, yeah forgot to mention that as well, everyone keeps posting about the textures missing or something, I don't really play any games on my spica apart from the SNES, NESOID and sega genesis emulator roms.

Yeah same, he said he would fix it in the next version, but I think he said that it would be fixed in V4, which it clearly isn't :p, unfortunately he doesn't seem to bothered about it though as well as other little things like angry birds, battery issues etc. seems to care more about the performance/speed and the display at the minute.
