Seems that the Flash player is not working in my A7. Some sites, like ESPN, just show the Flash Player logo where the video should be playing.. saying "Get Adobe Flash Player". I see that it is installed on the unit, but is not the latest version(10.1 vs 10.2.152.26). Should I try to upgrade the player or try something else?? I am a newbie to this..so looking for any help out there...Thanx!!!

Google Android Market
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.adobe.flashplayer
CURRENT VERSION: 10.1.106.16
Are you sure that Adobe released new version for Android ?
No.. you are correct. Didn't think to check if the Flash Player I was looking at was for Android. When I look at the application info it says the version on my A7 is 10.1.120.4. Still I am at a loss for what I can do about getting video to play on these sites, such as ESPN. No problem watching movie trailers on IMDB though... HELP!!

Just curious, are you using the stock WebKit browser, or something you downloaded like Opera Mini?
ESPN seems to work correctly with mine. (stock WebKit)
Just the stock browser. Only thing I have upgraded on the unit is the official upgrade from eLocity. It was working then just seemed to stop..Maybe I should do a factory reset...

I get a couple weird glitches once in a while, most seem to be solved by simply power cycling the tab.
Actually the first question I ask when people bring computer problems to me at work... "Did you reboot it yet?" lol
No...dont think its that, as I turn it off everyday. Just went to cnn.com...no video. Says "this CNN feature is optimized for Adobe Flash Player version 9 or higher." The uninstall button is the only button highlighted when I select it under "Manage Applications > Downloaded > Adobe Flash Player 10.1" And when I click on "Running" tab (applications running), its not there. I think my Flash Player is disabled or just not working. Maybe I should uninstall and try to reinstall.
In your browser, go to settings and make sure 'Enable Plugins' is set to always on.
Adobe Flash Won't show under Running even if your browser is currently on a flash page. IDK why.
THAT DID THE TRICK!!!! Thanx Zahg!!!

Hi
I cant get video`s to work on video google, they dont show up when the page loads, plus i hit the download button and theres no response, also when i go to play an internet flash game, the message comes up "PLEASE NOTE : To view this page properly, please enable Javascript and update your flash player.
Now as far as i know i have the latest flash player, so where do i enable javascript, didnt find it anywhere in IE options? I jsut assumed this sort of stuff would just work onm WM5..
Thanks

since i am facing the same problem 1,5 year later is there a solution to view streaming viedeos using either a newer macromedia version (i read something aboute flash lite 3) or something else using the internet explorer?
i did try to go to m.youtube.com and didnt manage to view any videos there also.
The only solution i have so far is to use the vtap program but i can't seem to view a small photo of the video before downloading it and also i cant fast farward it when it plays. This is why i am asking if there is a solution like for streaming videos from the S200. All i want is to view the videos like i view them from my pc . is ti so dificult?
(ps i am still on wm5)
thx in advance for any answer
nada????

YOUTUBE is possible on pocket IE after all (and on WM5)
here is the solution (if there is anybody like me who didnt know it allready)

It does just have a video codec to play FLV files I think.
the direct download is up. works pretty well so far!

I disagree. are there any other browsers that can play flash video? Sure, it can't play everything that flash 10 can, but at least I can now watch a video on ESPN or CNN if I want.
most annoying no flash is there any other way to play wma 32kbs stations

exactly...the flash content doesnt just automatically play in the webpage you load, it just pops up in a little player and gives you the option of playing it....
seems like this was a good idea at some point, but i'm not sure when
They are cashing in before Flash comes to Android with a real plugin

This isn't true - skyfire has been available on windows mobile and symbian for many years now, even with flash lite/flash players around. And its free.
Also, skyfire should eventually be compatible with other proprietary plugins like silverlight etc. later on. ( I don't know exactly how they do it though...)

Also it'll be handy for people who have phones which support skyfire but which won't be upgradeable to Android 2.2.
I've got the 10.1 flash and it was updated today too but any flash videos I watch are often juddering. It's almost like stop motion animation. Does anyone else's player play ok? If I use skyfire browser they generally play ok but I prefer the stock browser.
Also, on previous phones if I click a YouTube link from a forum the YouTube app would open to play it. On my dhd it goes to the YouTube site to play and then I get the juddery issue above. Is there a way of making the YouTube app open automatically when clicking a link?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
On my phone all the flash videos play fine and in HD. (it played fine with the original flash that came with the phone, but I have now installed the one from the market to be sure to get the latest updates).
As for youtube, all the links open in full screen in the player (sometimes I need to click on the icon to get it to open in fullscreen).
The DHD comes with youtube 1.6, but I have updated it with version 2 from the market.
Could you post a link to a flash video youve watched that played smoothly so i can check mine?
EDIT: for example can you play this video smoothly?

No, this one judders as well. But when you play it there is a popup text that says "This video is not optimized for mobile devices". So, the website is at fault for not providing a web optimized video.
But this is the first time I have a problem with a video, all of the other flash videos I have come across always play properly.
You can try the videos on bbc.com, cnn.com, youtube.com, etc... Either you will get a popup asking you if you want to play the video in the play or you can play it on the page.

It's there, the only youtube version I see on the market is version 2.0.26.
Usually when you can't see something in the market it's because it isn't avaialbe for your area. I don't know if this is the problem you are experiencing.
Google also provides it at m.google.com/youtube , but I don't know if it's the same version.
Hi Guys, just bought the i9505 Qualcomm LTE version of the Galaxy S4 and after loading all my applications including the Flash player, I tried playing videos at youtube.com but found the message no flash player installed. I checked applications and it is definitely installed properly, I even installed UCS browser to make sure. On the stock browser I noticed that under settings, it is missing advanced options so I can't check if plugins are enabled.
Anyone managed to get flash to run on the stock internet browser care to share how it was done, many thanks in advance!
This video shows it working :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xA2erlhALA. However, after deleting cache and reinstalling flash, I was able to get one video to play on YouTube, but when I tried others, it said that I needed a newer version. But the one I downloaded was the most recent one for Android on the Adobe site???? Anyone have any answers.
However, when I click the video and it asks if I should play with the browser or YouTube, if I pick you tube it will play, and when I push th back button, it brings me back to the browser. I guess this is okay for Youtube but I wonder what happens if you encounter a video on a webpage. I went to Fox News and there found a video on it's page, click it played. Don"t know if it needs flash or not.
I went to ESPN, and clicked on a video, and it gave me a choice of download or Video Player. When I choose Video Player screen went blank nothing happened. Used back button to return to ESPN page. Didn't try download.
Nada, that's just opening up the video in the youtube app as opposed to viewing flash content in the browser. Looks like the stock browser is not using the flash plugin at all. Other browsers can use the flash plugin so only question remaining is how to activate plugins in the stock browser?

seems to be a rom issue. had the same problem two weeks ago. the adobe flash app just works on < gb and ics roms, it isn't supported any longer for jb+ roms. try an alternativ youtube player or another rom/build.
i downloaded the youtube app, and it works from there, but still not in the browser,
i guess there are still a pretty high amount of bugs to solve
