adobe flash FAIL!!AARGH!!!

i have searched like an SOB to no avail...
i cannot watch youtube via web..WTF!?!?!
or even on my facebook app, i cannot watch videos..
however the youtube app works fine...
and the games i have that require flash are fine as well...WTF!!!!!!????????????

What browser are you using? Some browsers like Firefox don't support flash yet. The default Browser, Dolphin HD, and others do support flash.
This might not apply to you, but sometimes when it seems like my flash plug-in isn't started, or maybe it's crashed (ie. a website says "Please install flash"), I run Adobe Showcase which seems to reload it. When I go back into my browser, whatever flash website I was trying to view always seems to work after that.

phaaawk!!! i cant run flash on FF? i LOVE ff!! AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!! is THT waht my problem has been? i need to use a different browser?

Edit: Apparently they can't port it .

For me, Opera is the best mobile browser.
This is still in beta, so we will see how will they fix the flash problem.

Hmm, I had to stop using opera because the flash on it kept bugging out and pausing videos. Is it fixed? (I loved its speed though)

Opera is working fine for me. I don't need chrome.

Give it a month or so and hopefully the cm9 port will be ready.. I have been using it and its pretty much done... just camera, deep sleep and gsm/wcdma needs fixing..
I dont really use the browser any more, pull all my info via rss in to feedr

Thank you, it works on RCMixS (android 2.3.3)

It is very smooth on cyanogen. But i bet it'll lag a bit on sense roms.

Play Market, silly name. Sounds more like a toy shop.
I've had some problems connecting to and downloading apps using mobile data on Sandvold ICS. Using WiFi usually works.

Here is version 3.4.7 (just check OP's version 3.4.6).
Hope OP doesn't mind I post the updated version here.

That's exactly what I thought when the name and icon changed to "Play Shop" unexpectedly. I thought perhaps they were launching a seperate one just for games and entertainment, keeping apps seperate or something.

It's smooth on Redux 1.2
thanks

Thank you!!
I was looking but he was not finding her, and neither the update was bringing in me...

And you probably got that xda premium app there for free right?

The new market is absolutely brilliant! Great smooth transitions and elegant graphics! ICS Style baby!

Why google play says "your device isn't compitable with this item" when looking Death rally (free)? Tried already to clear market (google play) data and cache but that didn't help.

Yes Google Play is more fast than Android Market. But he's capricious with Market Link

Supports Google Play Store 3.5.15. Please note: Play Store is capricious with Market links because it relies more on Google's servers. If you want more control we encourage you to ask Google. It's their app. Let them know the goal you want to achieve. Once they provide a way, we'll give you full control of it!

I never use the app... web browsing is far comfortable to use and my apps are automatically updated. No lost time.
The only missing feature to the website is the installed applications on the device (from GPlay...).

Best Web Browser?

lol, these threads are usually annoying, but I'm desperate!
Tried Ocean browser but it's fugly with that grey color scheme (couldn't find a way to change it). It matters to me since I'll be browsing the net a lot.
Dolphin is the one I'm settled with at the moment and so far it's nice.
Will give Opera Beta a try.
Any others people use?

Definitely the best browser. Its android browser. Yes you need root. Once you do its very simple to install. Its the smoothest and does flash full screen videos without issues.
If you don't want to root, naked browser is also very good.

so far I'm loving firefox, it has adblock and it's smoother in flash videos. =D

+1 for Boat Browser, very fast and stable, supports flash and is very lightweight with about 3mb in size.
my default browser now for weeks

Chrome is the best browser, for me
Works fast (after the V8 Javascript update), and I haven't had it crash yet that I can recall (I do wonder what people are doing to have it crash "repeatedly" though since I haven't had any issues).
AOSP Browser comes in second for me. Anything else isn't an option for me unless it syncs with Google.

Have you tried Boat yet? I'm curious what you thought of it.

I'm using Boat as my browser at the moment actually.
It's great so far.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Chrome for almost everything. I use the "other devices" feature several times a day. It's great being able to instantly pull up any tab open on the desktop, laptop, tablet, or other phone.
Firefox Beta or Dolphin Beta for stuff that requires flash. Don't really use AOSP browser anymore.

How do you get Dolphin Beta to actually play Flash? for me whenever I try and enable it, Dolphin tells me it's naughty and refuses to let me force-enable it!
edit: I have installed the Flash APK already, it's just Dolphin Beta fighting against me...

I think you have to change some parameter to Ipad, it's on Android I think, sorry but forgot which option is it. Say if it worked!

Browser from previous Android versions

Coming from HTC ONE to the Xperia Z2. I love this phone but I seriously want to throw it against a brick wall because I am so frustrated with the browsers on offer. I am used to the ease and simplicity of the old stock Android browsers. Chrome, Firefox, Dolphin etc are just terrible in comparison. For **** sake, I can't even sort bookmarks with these things. I want to open my browser app and have a home page (google) open and ready to search, be able to sort my bookmarks in order and be able to zoom in and out by double tapping.
Is there any way I can get an older version of the stock android browser back?

i seriously second this thought... stock is so very pure and user friendly...

I thought Google made chrome the stock browser in 4.4

My replacement z2 from 3 that had customised firmware had the stock android browser included along with chrome, mind you I have flashed the stock UK rom which I don't think includes it.

Is there a third party browser similar to stock android browser?

Unfortunately no, not as far as I can see. They all seem to be pretty much the same, unnecessary difficult.

AOSP Browser will use an old version of Chromium Webview which is very laggy compared to the one used in Chrome...

Yes. I've followed instructions on installing the older ASOP browser. It installs, but won't open for more than a split second.
I'm slowly getting used to Firefox, but not being able to organize my bookmarks is just ridiculous.

Do you mean it will be laggy on Kitkat or laggy compared to Chrome? Honestly I'd put up with the lag for the ease of use and ability to manage my bookmarks.

At great personal risk, based on the previous LMGTFY posts, I would like to bump this thread.
I just got my Z2, and I notice that there is no AOSP or similar "generic" browser.
Interestingly, my Nvidia Shield Tablet (also 4.4.2) did come with a version of the "standard" ("stock") Android browser as well as Chrome.
Yes, I can try whatever I find in the Play Store, but I would like to hear other users' experiences.
