No Flash on KG1,Edit: Solution found - Galaxy S II General

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.

"Its not stock its not stock its not a Samsung release" I thought you was going to break in to a song.

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

Flash not working

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.

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

Ok, sorry is the same without flashplayer.

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

Youtube Cannot play video

Since last week whenever I try to play a youtube video either through the internet or the youtube app on my phone I get a message saying
Cannot play video
Sorry this video cannot be played.
Anyone have any ideas how I can solve it?
Almost all youtube videos would play on the phone before.
Hi.
Ive had the same problem. Try on wifi. If it works that mean your network operator has some issues (o2 ireland has some technical probs with all data plans for last 5 weeks for example)

I had the same thing a few weeks ago after playing with my hosts file and some other system files (trying to install swype beta)..but I also couldn't play mp3s or most other audio file formats (which seemed to have a flow on effect to not letting youtube work).
I gave up trying to fault find (logcat wasn't giving much away) and factory reset didn't fix, so restored an earlier full backup in clockwork.

Some videos cannot be played on a mobile yet...that's another example...
Dunno...lol
I am having a similar problem..only slightly complicated. Not only doesn't youtube work, even my video files can't be viewed. Ringer doesn't work either. However a reboot temporarily solves this problem before it strikes back again. Been doing this for more than the last 10 days..

having a similar problem, cant search any video on youtube. says network problem??
That sound like what it says,a network prob...
Try going to airplane mode and back, or even just hitting retry a few times works for me.

Ihad the problem too and its solved it.
Yep. Twitter app is the culprit. Quite a few of the latest reviews for it mention the problem.
Don't know if Twitter is aware of the issue but hopefully it'll get fixed.

I also had the issue with not being able to play videos (or mp3s). I have flashed the 2.3.4 JVP rom and the problem has not reoccured even with the twitter app.

[Q] flash with 4.2.2- tried everything q.q (no root s olution plax)

As the title said- i tried everything- all versions of flash .apk from adobe website, installing adobe air, and still nothing. When i want to watch video in flash from a website (i am watching a lot of anime), dolphin cant open.it (and i cant even turn using flash on with this browser- getting info that says "using flash in 4.0+ was disabled because of crashing dolphin blah blah blah"), opera is showing white field (white = background, like there is no video) and firefox-most intresting case- allows me to watch this videos until it.is not fullscreen mode. When i tap fullscreen button, i can see only a '!' In circle. Also, i cant play .mp4 videos from sites on fullscreen. I dont have any button to change size of video...
What is the best thing- movies from xhamster allows me to make it fullscreen. But inly from that site, and olny in firefox. On 4.0.2 stock galaxy tab 2 7.0 i was able to watch everything after just installing flash .apk, and i dont even know wich version
My classmate said something about app called 'actionscript', but as i see, this is programming language or something, and all apps i can find are references and guides throught that language...
I have brought my n7 a week ago, and since last saturday i cant make that damn thing to use flash propertly ._____. Is there any solution? As the title said- i dont want to root it. Just nope, i like original software, except t this damn flash...
rry if i said something wrong- english is not my native language, so.please, grammar nazis, calm.down :d
Try mxplayer, but you may need to be rooted for the flash to work.
BTW, thanks for flagging up that xhamster is a porn site.:banghead:

Video player not working (stock, purple icon)

Stock rom, stock everything, not rooted or any kernals. Don't know a thing about hacking Android devices (soon to change!)
Stock video player doesn't work? It worked flawlessly before, now it goes from a white screen to black screen to homescreen with a message "Unfortunately, Video has stopped."
I have disabled some stuff in the App Manager but nothing that seems to be linked to the stock video player? Anyone else with the same problem?
In system settings, apps find the player and clear it's cache.

Cleared in both the app (1.47mb file) and video player (100kb file?). Still acting the same :crying:, thank you for the suggestion!
I can still access my media files by going thru the files menu, but that gets annoying after a while :cyclops:

If this started after you disabled stuff then you disabled something related. It is not uncommon, especially if you are not sure.
Reenable apps or do a reset.
