So I was loving the CLEAR improvements in the browser over dk28. Web pages load so much faster, they scroll easier, reformat quicker, etc etc.
Then I tried to watch videos, and it tells me I need the new flash player....are they talking about 10.2? Almost every website I go to says I need the new flashplayer...

What kind of browser you have i want mines nothing compared to what's yours doing .. checkerboard tiny lag but flash works on mine and also no lag in video ...
I'm so Epic
Flash is working EXCEPTIONALLY well on mine. Pretty sure they are talking about 10.1 in your case. Maybe try uninstalling it and reinstalling it.
I'm using dolphin hd the stock browser feels all....clunky to me. No matter what phone/android version lol
Yeah I uninstalled flash updates and then let it update again and now my videos are working! I guess there was something in the cache idk but I works now

Installed but not sure if its changing anything. whatismyflash.com is showing same version before and after install
I'm not seeing a difference either. Maybe on next release.
Funny all the things they say they are doing I am doing from my slide without this apk. I can play the flash games and watch the bondocks
Im pretty sure we have this already stock..
Flash is stock on the slide. Use dolphin browser HD it's sweet.

is there anyway to install stock android browser on the epic? i believe it's better than the one on the epic or is it the same?
Try asking in the general section -- this forum is for development threads like ROMs, kernels, and other projects
Our browser is stock. And yes, this belongs in General.
It's stock, but oddly enough, Sptint, Facebook, and Google's mobile sites ALL identify it as an Intercept. I call that laziness. And also probably the reason for a lot of problems.
Threw dolphin hd browser is awesome.

what problems do you speak of? works fine for me!
My bad for posting the wrong section. If a mod can please move. Anyone knows how to remove the zoom buttons on the bottom of the browser or maybe a tweaked apk a dev could make to remove them? There so dam anoying! Btw can the evo browser be installed on the epic?

Tried to install the evo browser but it force closes
i too 2nd dolphin browser..by far the best browser for the epic.

Stock browser is good, but if you want, what I think might be the fastest android browser (sans server side rendering a la opera mini), then I highly suggest the new xscope browser. It looks great too.

I just downloaded the dolphin hd browser and it is awesome. Just wish those menus didn't slide in when I scroll left or right.
Any of the browsers above support some kind of flash

I second this, the Xscope browser is by far the best browser out there. Better than Dolphin HD. I have used them all and it is fast and light. I don't even know why anyone would want to put the Evo browser on there phone. What a POS.

I have downloaded and installed Flash 10.1 on my EPIC 4G using instructions found on the web.
My EPIC's stock browser and the Dolphin HD browser still do not display flash content. Any ideas?

...... that's because Flash doesn't work on 2.1.
Period.
We have Flash Lite but that doesn't really count.
Try the stock browser

Doesn't work, at all. No matter what you read online. Believe me, I have tried.
it does work... so does search... lookie here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792231
Flash through skyfire is not the same as flash on the device. Skyfire converts flash video server side so games will not work, only video.
Flash on 2.1 does not work on the epic. Even if you install it, it uses flash lite.
Nobody has ever shown me proof that it works. If I'm wrong I would love to be proven wrong though.

We will have to wait for froyo for flash. Bo real flash on 2.1 . Skyfire doesn not count they just convert flash video on their servers into playable format. And hulu has them blocked:-(

I was able to get some type of flash working with my phone...
I can only assume its flash anyways since it works on facebook flash games and albinoblacksheep games.

That's weird. I just played some flash games no problem when I couldn't before. Maybe it will
work if only flash 9 is required but not 10.1
I'll fully admit I was wrong in my initial reply. So flash is working, flash 10.1 is not. This means some things will work fine, some will not.

Have you tried going in to Dolphin Hd and changing user agent from android to desktop as well?
This does make a difference

No clue how this could help. The same content that doesn't work in the browser doesn't work when I point it directly at the swf. I'll give it a shot though.

Well that would be because in android phone mode it compresses everything down so small to make things more legible.
While in desktop mode it's meant to give you a full and rich desktop like experience. It's supposed to include flash content in this mode.

Just ran across this browser and its handling pretty well. Streaming videos work pretty well too. Its like a blend of safari, miren, and dolphin! Try and post feedback!!
**Here is a test an evo member did (not sure if he used the latest version)**
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092139
thanks, will do.
Ill try it, but Xscope is blazing fast and is my default. Edit: I just tried it and its nice, but Xscope just blows the doors off it. Its speed imo, is unmatched for a non rooted browser.
I just tried both xscope and boat browser.
Both are extremely fast.
Boat browser wins imo. The ui is alot simpler than xscope. Less clutter is superior.
Both are awesome though
Someone should really do a comparison between all of the browsers and post a handy chart or something. Might do this later today with a dozen or so of the best known browsers.

I am confident xscope and boats will come top. With personal preference only going to which ui someone prefers.
Don't forget to test for flash and html5 comoatibility. Opera mini mobile can't do flash.

Agreed. I think Boat just rocked the boat. Been XScope user for long time. Way cleaner UI. Just can't figure out how to sort bookmarks.. or a way to save them for the next flash? Guess it just uses stock bookmarks whereas xscope uses it's own, with a save to sd option.

Can't figure out bookmarks...not just synched with stock. Can't figure out how to sort stock either?

I would love to see that. I'm using Opera Mini now but was using Dolphin and tried several others. A chart with positive and negatives of all would be a great help.

Gonna do it tonight after I finish dinner most likely. Going to test as many as I can with load times of web pages, flash smoothness (subjective), a bunch of browser tests like acid3/html5/browsermark, features and available screen real-estate. Hopefully it wont take too long, but it probably will as I will restart the phone between each browsers test to give a level playing field.

Yep, please test.
It would indeed be a sauce of awesomeness.
It's definitely faster and nicely simple. If I can just go without the extras, I may wean myself off Dolphin HD for it.

Yes... but how do the bookmarks work? Mine are all deleted now. I cleared stock and then used xscope to send all my saved bookmarks to stock... but they don't go to boat B! If there's no way to save/sync bm...then it's a no go.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
I just use Opera Mobile. Renders well and is sickeningly fast. Works with Flash too.
I really like the "exit and clear records" option. The one thing I hate about the stock browser is that it runs indefinitely and keeps windows open etc.
I like it. Its a little iphone-ish lol but it looks good. I usually use dolphin HD but I'm going to run this for a while to test it out

Ahh, I love competition. ^_^ Kinda reminds me of how Firefox 4 got me much more loyal to Mozilla again.
i have searched like an SOB to no avail...
i cannot watch youtube via web..WTF!?!?!
or even on my facebook app, i cannot watch videos..
however the youtube app works fine...
and the games i have that require flash are fine as well...WTF!!!!!!????????????
What browser are you using? Some browsers like Firefox don't support flash yet. The default Browser, Dolphin HD, and others do support flash.
This might not apply to you, but sometimes when it seems like my flash plug-in isn't started, or maybe it's crashed (ie. a website says "Please install flash"), I run Adobe Showcase which seems to reload it. When I go back into my browser, whatever flash website I was trying to view always seems to work after that.
phaaawk!!! i cant run flash on FF? i LOVE ff!! AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!! is THT waht my problem has been? i need to use a different browser?
