Hi there...
I found 3 major problems recently... a)First of all I tried to install the flash plug in for Firefox. As I found out later, Firefox crashes every time I access a flash site. After several installations and unistallation - Firefox still had problems even without the plug in - now I can access flash site while Firefox ask me for the plug in, but after a while, when I go to an other site - without flash - it crashes! I install the java plug in this weekend. You think that this is might be the problem, or shall I search for something else?  I install some ipks on IDE2 and even with 20 MB free, the free percentage shows 0%. Why?c)I use to overclock my Z without problems, but yesterday it halted 3 times. It did not went white screen or else, just halted. Is this problem caused from the overclock? I really need to have my Z totally functional and these are really problems for me. Any help is really welcome... Regards, Neo... P.S.: I have a C3200, running pdaxrom beta3... |

Isn't the C3200 supposed to have problems under/overclocking? STA.

Were the Firefox plugins for ARM CPUs? If not, that could easily cause the crashes.

I could never get the Flash plugin to work in Firefox -- it always crashed when accessing a Flash site. I just removed /usr/lib/firefox/lib/firefox-1.5/plugins/libflash.so* and now Firefox never crashes (although I still don't have a working flash plugin).

A while back I was also trying to get flash to work on my Z. But I remember
reading a lot of stuff in the license agreement that prohibited the use of the flash player on mobile systems, other than Microsoft-based ones. I also read that if you did manage to get it to work, and used it on a prohibited mobile system, you could be subject to all kinds of fees. I figured I'd mention this, but it was a long time ago, ad the details are foggy. |

I think maybe we should have a good look at gnash. edit: also there seems to be some interesting develpment in cpu frequency control in pdax going on just now.hopefully your clockspeed issued will be resolved |

FYI - I double checked the license agreement about the flash player, and it
still seems to be the case. See section 3.1 at the following link: http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/players/flash/ |

Hi there m8s...
First of all I would like to thank all of you for your answers. Well this is what I found out... Both plugins - Flash and Java - cause problems to Firefox. Java is working but some times crashes Firefox or halt the whole system - it was not an overclock problem. The Flash plugin crash Firefox always when you visit a flash site. The only time worked out for me was when I install the plugin with Firefox running. When I visit the first Flash site, it was working perfect. I tried all the possible options on that site - I know it very well cause I build it - and all were ok!!! But when I went to the next Flash site it crashes again... So I have to uninstall both plugins and disable Java and Java script in Firefox options and now all are working as before... Also now I got correct left space on my IDE2. I have less than 1 MB but now on package installer it show 745KB, which is the actual free space - before it was showing 0KB, while I had the same free space. This happend after a few reboots... I feel that soon we will be able to have Flash and Java to our Firefox explorer, that will work correctly... Thx again... |
