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.

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

[Q] megaupload

I am trying to download some files using megaupload and i can't seem to be able to do it!
The default browser just doesn't do it, firefox does it but only if i stay on firefox and wait(as in, i can't go to another app). Does anyone have a solution?

yeah use opera mobile or dolphin

Works fine in my stock browser. But since I use Opera Mobile, I have never had any problem using it to download off megaupload. Just make sure you stay on the tab while it counts down since it pauses it for some reason if you minimize the app or go to another tab.

Works fine for me on stock browser. Try changing the useragent to "Desktop"? Maybe

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 :
http://fantasyfootball.telegraph.co.uk/select-team/
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.

[Q] Xperia Play wont download from certain places

Why is it that when I try to download a file from places like megaupload, it saves the file as a small ".htm" file or if I try to open the download link in a new tab it gives an error message saying something like "you can not access this page directly. Please use the website to download"? This happens with both the default browser and Dolphin browser.

hm yeah I had that EXACT same problem today when I tried downloading an /apk from a filesonic link and it downloaded an .htm

yep,thats the crappines of DOLHPIN and Built in Web.
I thought Dolhpin was a good browser until this,Opera Mobile is 100x better and you can actually download,browse fast and its WAAAY easier to read than Dolhpin;
Dolhpin has better DIsplay and is faster,but oPera is my main

Ok so I need to get Opera Mobile eh? Damn just when I was getting all my stuff integrated into Dolphin. Anyhow I will give it a try now. Thanks guys, this forum is the best!
***UPDATE***
Tested Opera Mobile, downloaded the item without any trouble. Unfortunately I cannot copy all my bookmarks from Dolphin or the default xperia play browser to Opera Mobile. That sucks.

Thanks for the advice dude....trying it right now.
Is there a way to completely clear that status bar at the bottom temporarily while surfing?

I use download buddy. Whenever I have had that issue I use download buddy and it works. Lets you save any downloaded file to anywhere on your phones SDcard.

Nope,but if you want,you can use Opera exclusivly for Downloading,and Dolhpin with Browsing.
I have both and use both equally

Opera mobile has more functions then mini.. Use mini when using 3g connections because it's optimized to use the fewest data.
While on wifi/downloading or watching streams, use the full version of opera mobile.

Can't open up pdf

For my work we use kinnser.com to track our patients info. We do receive efax and can attatch pdf into this online website. We can open these pdf from any computer. Calling kinnser support, they stated both Android and iOS cannot open the pdf from kinnser.com. I have tried on my rooted Evo running Mik 3.0, totally stock non-rooted Evo, Lenovo K1 tablet, and ASUS TF-101 to confirm this. When I click on the pdf attatchment, I would get the normal downloading started message. I would then click to view the progress of the download and it would stay at 0%. Would you know if there is something that is preventing me from opening the pdf from anything other than a PC? Thanks.

Not being able to download it is a different problem from not being able to open it. If you can't download it, perhaps they have a secure server or something. Are you trying to open from an email app or from a web browser?

Web browser

I currently have cm7 and as soon as I click a link in browser it automatically downloads the PDF. And is read with adobe reader app.
I cannot recreate this issue.

Since they told you the option want available on Android, I would assume that's specifically the website and that it wouldn't work. However you can try to set the user agent to desktop. I have been able to download files with Opera Mobile that wouldn't download with other browsers, perhaps you could try using the desktop ua with Opera and see if it works.
If not then I'd think you're sol without the website adding the ability.

Pure brilliant, that's it. I installed Opera and boom, I was able to open up the pdf in Kinnser. I guess the stock browser doesn't like to do it. Thanks everyone as always.

Glad you got it working. Opera Mobile has always been good about downloading files from sites that other browsers couldn't handle for whatever reason.

The other big reason I keep Opera installed as a backup browser is because of its support for "browse local device" on websites, a feature most android browsers shockingly lack.
