My wifi Xoom doesn't seem to be playing embedded videos. It plays ads fine though. I have tried all the settings in stock and opera browser with no luck. It just displays a image where the video should be-
Is anyone else having this problem
Go to settings/apps/manage apps/and select the adobe flash app and wipe data. Then try again

Thanks for the response. I tried that. It doesn't show any data or cache. They are both greyed out. I uninstalled and reinstalled and still shows the same
So I know flash is working with TV show stream, but it will not work in the browser...hmmm
Ok I tried Dolphin and flash works with it. Still not working in stock or opera

Flash doesn't work in Opera for me either but it works fine in stock browser
That doesn't make sense. Dolphin Mini/HD are not standalone browsers, they are UI and tweaks but use the stock webview browser (same as stock). So if it works in Dolphin, it should work in stock unless something is really screwed up.
Go into your Browser settings and make sure Plug Ins are set to On Demand or On.
In the stock browser, I'm able to load, say, Bejewled Blitz on Facebook. But when I went to hbo.com (I wanted to try HBOtoGo) it tells me that it's a flash site and I don't have flash installed.
I get the same message on HBO.com. Also, I am not able to watch videos on Hulu.com.
Try CNN. I think those sites block mobiles and tablets.

Flash only works on the stock browser and not on Opera mobile on mine.

Flash doesn't work in third party browsers... It only works in the stock browser. Also, some sites like Hulu block mobile devices from accessing their content for what ever reason.. It has nothing to do with the actual device. Hulu is working on an App for Android that will be released in the next couple months. We will probably see a Netflixs app even sooner.

Huh? I apologize for bringing up a non-Xoom device in this forum, but that is just plain wrong. I have 10.2 on my Gingerbread running Nook, and Opera 11 works with flash just fine (videos and otherwise); and i don't think Opera is exactly stock....

It works fine with Dolphin. I have tried espn, gametrailers, worldstar, ign. It doesnt work in the stock browser for me for some reason. It works on ads, but doesnt work on videos. It just displays and image of the first frame of the video.

Works great on my xoom. Just watched tekzilla 10min ago. I will try other browsers. Hulu is not working on android or less you got the evo hack files. (That's just for the evo people) Coming soon...
For me some flash sites work in the stock browser. And TV Show Stream works fine too.

Thanks for the replies guys. Im at a lost as to why its not working in the stock browser. I also tried Miren and Skyfire and it doesnt work with those either. For some reason it only works with Dolphin.

Does a modern html5 site like this http://sammystodos.brandonaaron.net
works on Nexus One or Desire?
It seems that the browser doesn't support standards as much as safari on iPhone..
Chrome is by far the best browser on the market, followed by Opera.
Eventually they will merge everything that desktop's Chrome can do into Android..
But so far - yes, that website works fine, except for editing the fields that you added. I assume that can easily be fixed by tweaking the site itself.
I can confirm that its working on the nexus one with to stock browser.

I tried it on the Desire browser and it looks exactly like yours, but I cannot type. Holding the Menu button to bring up the keyboard doesn't work either.
Checking the checkboxes and using the trash can icon to delete items do work.

How is it better?
It's Fennec, which can do everything Firefox can do, including making use of the desktop addons, and it supports Flash 9.4
This will be an ongoing problem with HTML5.
"how does it look on this browser ??"
This is what people dont get about Flash. You have complete control over how everything looks. You dont have that control in HTML , everything is still browser dependent.
Not saying this cant be ironed out..but the impression that a <video> tag is going to solve HTMLs shortcomings is silly. As it stands the browsers are already divided over codec support.
Hi guys, i wanna take advantage of this thread to now more real-life web browsing issues.
How well works this sites on the N1 or HTC Desire browser? (without adding any ad-hoc apps)
- www.facebook.com (does the chat work?)
- www.google.com/reader
- www.google.com/analytics
- www.youtube.com/html5 (how well run the html5 video)
Can u compare them to a normal web browser or iphone?
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.

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.

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!
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!

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 .
so far i have tested this on two different froyo build browsers and they both work
in the address bar type about:useragent theres a couple different things you can change it to
i also have a stock browser that i modified with a bigger apn file and it just seems to work all around better.

And what (if any) differences there are between this and the stock Samsung FroYo browser?
Also, I believe Hulu enforces viewing policy based on information it receives from Flash itself, not based on the browser user agent. Hence, different browsers/UAs shouldn't matter.
I can confirm that the "about:useragent" trick works on Cognition Beta 2.2 v9. Only problem is it doesn't persist if the browser is restarted. Still very useful though.

UPDATED: Release 5.0.1 fixed the problem. Back to being my favorite browser!
If the update to version 5 of Dolphin HD refuses to load pages or won't load them at all on your A500, please go to our blog and comment with specifics so we can refer them to Dolphin in the next day or two.
I had the same problems with the beta version and uninstalled it immedietly. We want to keep this A500 specific, but are interested to know if other devices are having the same issues.
Please comment here:

We are not doing this to make money, so don't click any ad links while on our site unless you see something you just have to click on. (We only make a penny per click anyway).
Let's make sure Dolphin pays attention to this quickly.

works fine for me. i just dont like using it because it doesnt seem to be able to download any file over 1mb. it just saves the html if its over. so im using opera. seems to be a better browser anyway.

Agree i too using Opera Mobile since it can download anything.
Only negative is no Flash in Opera yet.
It's because that Google hasn't open the Android 3.0 source code.
but it seems that Opera Mobile support HTML5.
Yeah, the update gave me problems, it is sporadic and hard to track down. When it occurs the pages fail to load properly, and I have to force the program stopped (application manager or task manager) to restore it to a functional state.
But, when it is working, it is a very nice update...
Same for me...I tried the Dolphin beta and had all sorts of issues where the pages wouldn't load any more. I uninstalled it and went back to the stock browser, which is working pretty well since the update. The previous Dolphin HD version was awesome.
Yesterday I installed the newest released version of Dolphin HD and am sharing it's use with the stock browser. It seems to be working okay, but I haven't done much surfing in the last day or so.
Update
Go the Dolphin home page and under the goole search bar you will see "page loading disturbing you now?". It appears this issue may have been addressed with a new beta. It has worked for me but I have only been using it for a short while.
