Flash not working - Epic 4G General

I have seen posts of videos working in Dolphin, Maxthon, stock browser with Flash 10.1, but I have yet to see it work for me. When I click on a flash video, nothing happens.
I am on EB13 (from Samsung.exe update) and rooted with no custom roms. What can I check to get this working?

There should be a setting for Flash in Dolphin. The first time I open Dolphin, it always asks me during the setup if I want Flash on Demand, Always or never. I always put Always because the "On Demand" doesn't seem to work well.
I'd get you the setting in Dolphin but I'm in the process of flashing my phone.

Did you install flash from the market?

I installed flash from the market and flash is enabled in dolphin.
If I go to espn.com (this calls up the mobile site) and scroll down to bottom and click espn.com it will open the full site. If I then click on Sportscenter Videos tab, none of those play.
Can someone test that out as well? Are there other sites where this works so I can test as well?
Thanks in advance!

I don't have a "espn.com" link anywhere on the page that I can find. The last link I have is Sprint.com and no link shows "espn.com".

Dude what are you smokin'? ESPN.com doesn't have a link to Sprint.com???
To the OP: I followed your steps (with no trouble) and also cannot watch the videos on ESPN.com. I tried setting plug-in to ALWAYS and still no video. The website may be detecting the user agent string and disabling flash server side.
EDIT: just went there on my desktop and when I right click on a playing video it says "Disney's Media Player Framework" - this may be the cause of the problem, they are not using standard flash plug in for video.

I don't smoke. I consume edibles and pills. Sometimes I eat the ice cream but it doesn't always taste right. But I don't think you meant that to be a literal question, eh?
Here's a screenshot of ESPN.com when I navigate there through Dolphin HD. Not the greatest quality because I'm grabbing the screen through Droid Explorer video recorder but you can see, plain as day, the Spint.com as the very last link and no espn.com anywhere in that screen.

I usually test with pornhublive .com
Something about the flash on that site is unusual....it NEVER with Clockwork 3.0 OR CUSTOM ROMS.....but I works fine with stock roms on RFS

skyfire renders the flash content on their servers and pushes it over the air to your phone.. it doesn't process it on the phone itself...
Can the Op explain more about what he means regarding Flash for 2.1.. working? It's just that I doubt it.

Sorry, its only than do you say.its possible install on eclar but dont work.
The only 2.1 with working flash was htc sense...
Skyfire has its own video decryption which is why when its buffering it says "this will save you up to 75 percent bandwidth over flash". The flash player should let you view video on some full version sites on stock browser.

The flash player does work for some sites on 2.1 but most mobile sites and most others still wont work even if you install flash 10.1

HBO Go app

Anyone have the HBO go app? Its not showing up in the market for the tablet, but its shows up in my phones market. Unfortunately I can't use the app on my phone since its a droid 1, but I'd think the tablet would support it. If I dl it to my phones SD card, then put that SD card in my tab and move the app from the SD to the tab would this work?

Figures, the app can't be moved to the SD card. Anyone know of a work around? Or have the apk?

its not availed for android tablets yet.
I sideloaded the .APK to my tablet and it says it won't work on my device (Iconia), nor does it work on my Droid1. Seems to like HTC devices

i'm lazy, so instead of switching back and forth, i just have another browser handy and pull that up when you want to go to sites that you know work better in desktop mode. ;D i have dolphin send a desktop ua all the time, the stock browser android.
I have been watching HBOgo and Cinemaxgo through the browser every since I got the Acer 500a. I was so excited to be able to watch HBO on "the go" on a bigger screen than my iPhone 4. I heard today that they are supposed to have the "Go apps" available for all platforms in ist a couple of months. I hope my ears were not deceiving me. It would be a lot easier.

No Flash on KG1,Edit: Solution found

I am unable to open youtube videos on my web browser despite installing Adobe flash 10.3. Am i the only one ???
I am on KG1 rooted with CF-4.0 KG1.
EDIT: Solution
Ok guys. Got the solution. Go to settings--> Enable Plugins-->Always On.
And this works. By default it is "Always On" but still you have to select "On Demand" or "Off" and then select "Always On". Try this back and forth until it works. Also try updating the flash player to 10.3 from Market.
I hope it works for you as well.
Thanks to "tfn" for the idea.

I know a few ppl who cant play any flash videos on KG1 including me.
Very strange, I just took a photo with the flash, watched a Youtube video and a video clip from the BBC website and all worked perfectly.
That's weird, flash works fine here just using the leaked version, no mods.
Have you guys tried going in to browser settings and enable plugins?

If i go to bbc website to watch a flash video it just states to update your flash version, but i am on the latest version 10.3.
I have flashed a few times, done a factory reset etc etc , still no good,
Very strange

Scrolling in box on browser

Hi,
I have problem with scrolling in the browser, whether it is stock or dolphin browser.
If you look at the link below there is a list of players, in this case the goalkeepers to choose from in fantasy league, I am unable to scroll down on a box such as this. This is just one example of the issue :

Does anyone have a solution? I know on iphone you can use two finger scrolling.

Use another browser like Opera Mobile or Firefox Beta 6.0
Do you have updated Adobe Flash Player?

Got no updates showing on market for flash and always update when available. So should have latest version.
I've tried opera and switched to desktop mode and still not working.
There has to be a solution!

Can't get it to work as well... Kind of frustrating...
Firefox beta works fine, wish dolphin could do it though.
If you haven't installed flash 10.3 then there might be an update available.
When I got my SGS 2 and when I factory reset it, no updates show for flash or gmail, but when I search for flash and gmail in the market, and click on them, it has the option to "update" rather than install.
Dont know if you know what I mean, but search for flash 10.3 and it should allow you to update it.

Basically, make sure you've got the latest version, as per this page...

The part of the webpage that the OP is having problems with does not use flash, it's a table.
I tried the site myself in several browsers, and can confirm the only ones I could get the list to be scrollable in were Firefox and Firefox Beta. Even then they don't have a scrollbar, you have to swipe within the table area. I presume this is by design.

Good point. I just checked and it's just a div with overflow set to auto (show scrollbars if required). This is old CSS and really should show in all browsers. Some investigation is required.
Thanks guys, will give firefox a whirl.

Opera works fine if you download from sites where you don't have to wait a certain time, if i try to download from sharing sites where you have to wait 30 seconds or 1 minute untill you can start the download, the counter gets stuck and i can never get to the point where i can start downloading, so that's why i stick to Firefox for downloads.
on stock browser works ok with me

Almost all the free ac in RS, MU or FS have a timer set and with Opera I could download almost anything. Timer never got stuck for me.
I'll give a look at Download All files however. I hate moving to another browser just for downloading. The Stock browser should download all file formats, don't know why it doesn't !
