Just wanted to let everyone know this worked on my Imagio.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544770
Which device did you choose to get this to work? I just tried it with diamond 2 selected and it appears that it's not working.
I used the diamond 2 turns out it worked or appeared to work for a while then stopped. I ended up uninstalling it. I just got a replacement Imagio due to a dead pixel and i'm going to see if i can get this working. It would be nice to have flash on our phones. It worked on my old diamond.
Works on my Imagio. I am able to watch Youtube with Opera, but not crackle.com or anything else.
What I was really hoping for was getting pandora to work with it. No success yet though.
Can't get it to work. Care to share your setup process?
Alright
Just use pocket Internet Explorer. It already has flash embedded. Check out Skyfire also.
A browser with out flash is stupid. People want full featured ****.
Pandora you might be able to get working with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4093037&postcount=1
IMO skyfire is much better at handling flash.
IE needs tabs
I've been trying to watch megavideo, because megavideo stupidly redirects you, you can only watch the video if you have a Mobile browser with tabs and good flash

Hi Guys, just thought id post my thoughts on the Leo.
Ive been using mine now for over 2 weeks having come from an N95(and several failed attempts at finding something I liked inbetween including various iphones, N97 etc etc) so to the thoughts.,
The screen for me was a bit tricky as many have said before, I have huge hands, but decided to persevere.
Has to be said that after about a 10 day period typing messages etc became much easier, after 2 weeks it was brilliant, but then came the eureka moment, which it has to be said was'nt good for me, but telling all the same.
After flashing the ROM, the typing experience became similar to a fair proportion of others on here, infuriating!
Now thinking logicly about it, I decided it couldn't be the screen as was fine before, only thing changed was the ROM, so was software, tried a screen align, hmmm, worse still, did it again, slightly better, but still no cigar, went and checked settings and set to how id had it before, no vibrate(seems to fubar typing), keyboard click on, screen click on, correct as you type on, complete words in both XT9 and ABC both on and did screen align again, now zoila, its better than before(after another screen align) no more false inputs although xt9 has to learn my vocab again(annoying) but it really is a revelation.
Now the only thing annoying me is the long sms list issue (although partialy sorted by selecting all messages and going in through WM)
Can I just add, absolutely epic site guys and thanks to all those that spend there own time making the WM experience better for all!!
Noooo! you've got it all wrong. You're supposed to try typing for 5 minutes, throw your toys out the pram and go buy an iPhone.. *then* come on to xda developers and post a nice long rant about how poor the entire phone / windows mobile is (bonus points for expletives and spelling mistakes).
Fixing problems in an intelligent, logical manner? whatever next?!
I just got my HTC HD2 from Royal Mail. Everything seems to be working flawlessly. The screen is just gorgeous and the navigation is really smooth and snappy. The videos online really do not do it justice.
I've just got a few of questions. I heard that Opera does not support flash, is this true? and will this change in the future?
I tried using IE to open youtube but it doesn't seem to play anything. It has the flash 9 logo and that's it. How do I play videos via the web browser?
Also, when I open up IE it says that it connects using my data plan and I may get charged. Does it not work over WiFi?
I'm just uploading files onto it right now but yes, this device has had my jaw on the floor since I opened the packaging. By far the best phone I have ever owned.

Opera doesn't support flash.
Use the You Tube app already on your handset, it works perfectly.
For playing videos within your browser, download the Skyfire browser for free. I don't like the interface and therefore only use it when I have to but it supports flash and you can play videos and surf for porn on it lol.
gamma500. looks like you still need to find the return key (aka as enter key) as this is the only thing missing in your message. Or did you type it on a PC keyboard, and is the return key (aka as enter key) broken?

I don't have the youtube app, where can I find it? I got my phone from T-Mobile UK if that helps. And I thought IE did support flash?

Opera doesn't support flash and IE only has 'flashlite' which isn't suitable for playing video. You will need to download Skyfire but the You Tube app will be in your start menu - press the icon at the top left of the screen or the windows button in the middle at the bottom - then scroll through the icons.

I don't have it pre-installed, is there somewhere I can get it? It's wierd that they didn't include it. Is anybody here on T-Mobile UK who has it pre-installed?
Dont have a HD2 ...yet! But from what I have read Youtube is not included on the T-Mobile handset.
Thanks Christonabike, personally don't see the merit in ranting, seldom effective in sorting issues and htc-hd2, in an effort to be cloggy friendly have inserted a few returns just for you!

Fantastic! Disabling the vibrate response was one of the best things I could do! I can actually type for long periods of time with little errors and the XT9 and ABC is working great now, I didn't realise it could learn... so have been typing in all of my Northern Irish phrases that we use over here!
I'm happy once again, I'm really starting to love this phone; was a bit doubtful at the start and was thinking my N95 8gb looked like a good option to go back to but my faith is growing in this device by the day!
Once again to OP, thanks!
It Just gets better with time Rossimac, which only became apparent after having flashed the ROM and thereby losing two weeks of it.
Yesterday youtube stopped playing videos. I can still surf through the videos but if I try to play one it just goes to Connecting... and then eventually fails. I can surf the internet fine in opera and skyfire and get on facebook, so I know my internet is working. I tried reflashing several different ROMs with no success at getting it to work. Any ideas? BTW, I am currently using the newest Artemis ROM but I have also tried multiple Miri and Dutty ROMS and the youtube didnt work either. PLEASE HELP! I love watching youtube videos on the go. I have also tried it with wifi connect and using 3G and both get the same error. Also I can open youtube and play a video in Skyfire so I am dumbfounded on why the Youtube program isnt working. BTW, I am using the a Testra HD2 on AT&T with 3G!
I read that Youtube recently changed their Flash version that they use. Could that be why its not working this last few days?
Someone please help!
Please help guys!
I've just tried and mine works fine, try doing a hard reset and see if that fixes it.
Using a registry editor like Total Commander, go to Hkey_local_machine/software/htc/youtube/proxyname and remove the value (probably wireless.cingular.com:80). Save and restart your phone and youtube should now connect. AT&T prevents the use of youtube and this is a work around. I thought mine was faulty at first but found out this trick from another thread.

I tried this but when I run Youtube it puts the registry back! What do I do?
What ROM are you using?
Nevermind, I got it to work. There was another additional key entry that had to be deleted that had wap.cingular.com:80 too. Thanks for the help guys! This forum is awesome. I only have one other issue to work on and thats the HTC messaging.
I am using the newest Energy ROM and when I go to send a SMS it uses windows mobile SMS program instead of the HTC one. However, if I open a incoming one by double tapping on the main screen it will go into the HTC one. Any ideas?
get.skyfire.com/dl_android.php
I can't get/find it on the market (in UK) and the apk download link on their site does not work.
Anyone manage to download it, can you please post the apk on here.
tried buddy not working when you go to the market or website it doesn't bring up nothing. They must have pulled it.
tried hard but not getting it in Germany also
even the download page is not working on my computer also
they have put up a barcode also
I'm going to hope this was an indication of it coming later today or tomorrow.. Windows Mobile people seem to really enjoy this browser, and Im hoping it can be enjoyed all the same on Android.
Anyone in the US tried getting it from the market?
Skyfire was the best browser for WM. It had flash before flash even came to windows mobile. I'm in the US and couldn't find Skyfire in the market.

That's because of the abomination that is the stock browser on winmo.
Again, i am from new york and i tried its not up on their servers.
Skyfire is the ****! Full flash support on my old wm phone with skyfire. Im sure it will have full flash support just like the wm version. Cant wait to test this out.
Edit: It does support flash
Supports Flash web video with patent-pending adaptive streaming technology for smooth playback
Pinch to zoom (on Android 2.0 and above)
Multi-tab browsing - open up to eight windows and browse simultaneously using visual tabs
Choose to load full desktop webpages or mobile optimized versions
Clear session history easily upon exit to maintain anonymous browsing
well it kinda does, according to the video the new skybar feature allows you to view vids on a great number of sites, the one they mentioned in the vid was espn.com.
Still very promising and looks great! Hope their download server will be able to handle everyong trying to grab the file at once as word is spreading about the page being up.

It supports Flash video, as they seem to wont say "Flash" without saying "video" after it. I'm hoping though I'm not just thinking too critically, full blown Flash would be nice.

Yeah it seems to run differently then on the wm version
I don't know how reputable it is, but midsofts dot com has some links for skyfire up. The site seems a little shady to me.
skyfire has replied asking to check back in an hour and they are in process of building latest version
Installed ok and testing now.

i got it! It works and works well!
It is Beta tho

For some reason I knew that..
Thanks for the APK!!!
Have not been able to get Hulu videos to load, may wait for the version from their site and update to see if this is something that can work.
Regardless, works great!
just google it skyfire then download its for free......
seems to be working, but the "loading video" screen stays on top at 50% while the video plays in the background.. hmmm
Thanks for the heads up! Skyfire works like a charm, it maybe isn't as smooth as the standard browser. However the 'video tab' works really well! Finally 'kinda' flash support.
Install?
Im having problems installing the app. Once I get to the screen where they ask if I would like to install Skyfire and click install it goes back to the same screen again. Anybody else experience the same thing?
worked a treat for me.. are you downloading from the Market?.. try the old fashioned trick.. power off and on then try again!!

For Vimeo videos it does this, for youtube it plays them fine, weird.
Tried this on the BBC News website, it was supposed to show a summary of this evenings debate, what I got was a download screen that stuck at 74% while a video of Obama talking about the oil slick played behind it. Several other sites I tried it loaded the mobile version of the site which automatically assumed the browser had no flash support. Another site I tried it failed to notice the video content.
I think it is a little optimistic to call this a Beta, it shows promise but there seem to be quite a few fundamental bugs that need to be ironed out.

are you using wifi or 3g (GPRS) for 3g gprs works fine for that but for wifi some dugs occur thats the problem....
Ok, I know that Hulu blocked mobile browsers from viewing its videos, but that 2.2 users can get around this with "about:debug" in their browser window. The command, however, doesn't seem to be working on my Evo.
I tried disabling Sense, which was easy, but no luck on getting around the Hulu block...
Anyone have any suggestions or tricks they've gotten to work?
I think your best bet is to wait for Froyo on this device.
My soul cried.
Yet my determination remains!
Tried to change the user agent in dolphin browser hd to desktop, but still wont work

I thought that the reason users on froyo could get it working was because froyo supports flash 10.1 or whatever, not because they changed the browser settings.
The Evo also supports Flash!
The issue is Hulu blocked all mobile devices from accessing their vids. The player will load, but it won't actually put the video up for watching...
Froyo users where (I've been told they can't now and a new work around is needed?) able to trick their browser into thinking they where on a desktop and then watch Hulu as per normal. The menu settings for this, however, is not on the Evo
just an idea i have noticed. hulu does NOT block mobile devices. i know they say they do and all but its weird. using my devices ip from sprint and all the device info i can stream hulu on my laptop threw my phone. sooo if they block mobile devices they would be blocking the browser config (i.e.-opera mini, android.)
now with all that said, another reason i dont believe it is because i did get hulu to stream way back when the eris 2.1 leak with flash came out. i watched family guy on my phone threw hulu. it was slow and horribly nasty looking and small. but it worked.
so theres some thoughts on hulu.
i hope you all can get this working..
it would be great!

They are just checking the string agent of your browser dude.
I think it has to be deeper than the string. From what I understand, when the Incredible came out, people were able to get Hulu to work with a little finesse and user-agent strings. However no amount of finagling has gotten Hulu to work on my EVO.
i tried it with my pro2 on skyfire browser. the hulu site stated that the browser was using a proxy server and assumed i may have been from outside the US trying to stream... i got reallllllll close though.. i saw the slide animations on the home page...
you'll need froyo, and the workaround flash in the nexus forums, as well as changing user agest to desktop using about:debug
it should work then. does on my nexus
What do you mean by "the workaround flash in the nexus forums"?

search. there is a modified flash apk that will allow use of hulu. you still have to do the ua string change, but otherwise it works.
and keep it on the down low, just here at xda please. last time it flew out to engadget that there was a workaround, hulu shut it down.
On my Nexus One hulu loads, runs videos for about 15 minutes (ok video quality, poor sound quality(skipping)) and then stops. Navigating their flash based controls is very difficult. So you won't be missing much with EVO .
