I have a problem with Flash not working on my A500. I have tried to install various versions to no avail. All I want it to do is view video content on the local news websites. I have had a live chat with local Acer support and they couldn't help me. ( Australia ) Does anyone have any idea on how to get it working ?????
All suggestions taken on board !

do you see any type of flash at all? or is it just the live video content which is not shown? please provide more details, such as a link to the website you seen not to have flash enabled?
flash should work fine, i got it running with live content for danish websites and tv stations broadcasting live video.
i feel flash works great (that is on 3.1) but 3.0.1 was working fine too.
what doesn't work? ive found that flash on Opera browser doesn't work at all, but viewing flash in stock browser works fine.
i read somewhere that you have to "tell" opera to use flash, however i looked and couldnt see how it was done.
More information
Thanks to you both for assisting. I have 10.3 installed, can play flash based games, but Opera, Dolphin or Firefox will not play video content. The browser that came with the unit can. Another curious thing, if I navigate to the home page of XDA-Developers I cannot play the video XDA TV Video, it says "download Plug in" but nothing happens when I click this .
Ok, your problems are the support of the apps, not the actual stock release.
I read somewhere Opera can be made working on 3.x with flash, but how, i dont know and i can be wrong..
you can only ask the apps makers for support here, asking Acer is really not much help..so go around Opera website and ask, or firefox forums..
All good, I suspected it was a proprietory issue rather than the Iconia so I will see what I can do with Firefox / Opera forums.
Cheers, Tom
Opera mobile does'nt support flash!
i think i use the default browser and works fine....

Is there a software to view Flash Media on the HTC TYTN ?
you can download the flash plugin from adobe for IE ..etc
if you want a standalone player Bryht Flash Player v2.0 is pretty good google it
you mean macromedia player? you can download it here or flash memory? somethink like that? if you interrested on what is inside hermes, look here.
Basically what it is is that i've just sky+ and I would like to be able to set it to record from my VARIO 2 by going on to the sky.com website/ tv guide as it you where doing it from a desktop, but when I try it loads the page ok but says "Either you do not have flash orit is disabled in your browser. Please enable or download it here.
Now i've download about 3 different flash software I found and none of them work.
I know I can set the sky+ to record by sending a text from my mobile but since these phone are not compatible for sky anytime I just wanted what I see as the next best thing which is go online and view the programmes listed.
I don't know what else to try !
Flash player has many different versions, and the versions for mobile are not as advanced as those for web browsers on personal computers. Chances are, the site you are trying to visit is authored for versions higher than what the tytn can support
Ok m8, well i'll keep on searching just in case get lucky !
I tried to find an answer in the forum, but either it is an obvious question or i did not understand it (i am new to the WM world).
I simply do not see the whole page content, and i can not "click" on some of the visible content, probably because it is flash.
I checked at macro-media site and found there is an application but according to their info it supports only WM5.
Can someone help?
I am using many applications designed for WM 2002 which work just fine. I suggest you to try that one.
Can name few?
Ok. I installed the marcomedia flash support for IE, and works. Yet IE is by far slower than Opera. Is there a solution for Opera?
there is flash lite 3.1 in the development and hacking section of the forums, but i'm not sure if it works for diamond yet. :/
you can try though.
I am having this problem too, for example on Facebook if someone has posted a video that is not hosted on Youtube i cannot veiw it as my browser doesnt support flash. I have had this problem on a lot of web pages that have anysort of video on them even tho i have installed the latest flash.cab on my device is there a work around or is it just something we will have to make do with untill a newer version of opera is released?
Install this cab :

I have read several threads on this subject, but the issue still appears to be largely unresolved...
Can you access embedded flash content within Opera using a stock ROM?
Only solution appears to be using Skyfire unless someone can tell me different?
Thanks to clarify...
Bump... I'll take that as a 'no' then?
use skyfire that resolves the embedded flash problem, other browsers are hit and miss at this time, macromedia hasnt developed a working flash application that doesnt work sparingly, flash lite works but only on some sites not all
I keep being told that Flash is a feature of the new Opera and is rife on the HD, so whats the problem?

I'm referring to content like the embedded videos on the BBC website. If you try and play them on a stock ROM it points you to download Flash. Having done this the Adobe website says that the device is not supported...
I did download a mobile version of FlashPlayer but it seems to have made little or no difference.
Skyfire is okay, but I reckon it needs some refinement to be at its best for the HD.
Ho hum...
I'm trying to watch my favorite TV-show at this address: http://ingurapresei.antena1.ro/ but my HD2 won't play in any browser I tried (IE, Opera, Skyfire). What am I doing wrong?
I don't think Flash Player works on the HTC HD2 ie Browser yet, but i could be wrong.

You are wrong matey - it does
It needs a later version of flash than the one that is installed on your device. Unfortunately, it's the latest version for windows mobile. Until a newer version comes out, there will always be some flash objects that simply won't play.
Sorry.
I'm surpised you say SkyFire doesn't work though. I never use it personally, but everyone else seems to rave about it as a flash player.
reinstall skyfire...it will work....
I reinstalled Skyfire and now it won't connect to internet although Opera does. I tried downloading Skyfire from PC and from device and then installing but no luck in any cases. It still does not connect and keeps on poking me with an error message that daoesn't let me close skyfire from menu and forces me to End Task it.
Ok. I got it working but it still doesn't play the videos. Please go to that site and tell me if it works on your device.
post link to flash player
post link to flash player that works please. TIA

I was struggling with the flashOperafix - it didnt work properly, was crashing my browser, etc. I also did not find any plugin which would start the videos in the build-in YT app. But by pure luck I found a solution which is... Opera 9.7 .
Actually it is not the same Opera 9.7 which is provided in HTC HD2 - it is some tweaked or newer version which I think is available only in some networks. Anyway I installed this Opera as mine stopped working completely...
The first thing I did after install was checking out YT and the funny thing - it works like charm! But the best thing is that the video starts in the YT app and when you close it it goes back to the browser! So it works even better than on Safari and the iPhone!
Maybe sb already found it but if not... you need to check it out . Now I'm really happy with my Opera browser and I will try some more pages . I wanted Flash only for YT videos anyway...
I couldn't attach the file (bigger than 8MB) so here's a direct link:
http://www.mediafire.com/?kmtwjynzn4m
If the link stops working it's called "Miri_Opera97_TMO201" so you can google for it.
EDIT: Dailymotion works too! It says it is not compatible with our devices but I ignored and all videos work . The only downside is it does not support embeded videos on other sites but you can't have everything .
Does it support all the functions of the default Opera on the HD2,like multy touch or text page rendering etc.
Does it replace the original opera or I can install it on the storage card an have the best of the two worlds!! as is the case with the Opera 10 which I have installed it on my SC.

Works exactly like standard Opera 9.7, supports multi-touch, etc. - and it seems to be a little bit faster and more stable. On my phone it replaced the original Opera 9.7 and I'm very happy with that - I think you can install it without worrying as it is exactly the same Opera only better .
Thanks i am already downloading it and will try it soon,my only concern was that if i dont like it I had to HR my device to get back the original Opera,now that seem to be unecessary.
thanks.
I installed it and it works like a breeze!
Just for your information:
The concept it uses is very simple. It adds a m. in front of the youtube link like: m.youtube.com so it basically redirects you to the mobile version of youtube and saves you the hassle of adding the m. yourself (wich worked very well in the original version of Opera)
I tested the ROM artemis 26 ESN, but seems to no work.
I must say that I have customized registration User Agents to be "Desktop" and can influence it, to others of other changes ...
Maybe that's what you do not work for me, anyway thanks for the link.
Greetings.
