Plz help! Vídeo download question - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys I've got a question... Normally with my ex s3 and s4(4.3), when I used to get into certain sites, and tapped to open a video, it used to gimme an option to open or download that video... Now I've got a new s4(4.4.2), and it only give me the option to open it. I realize that if you open it on stock browser, it still give me the option to download it, but I use Boat Browser... Boat browser its not giving me the option to download anymore, but I realize that is something in the system, not the browser problem... Tried maxthon too without success... Flash player is correctly installed... What is happening??

Download filesusing stock browser

Hi to everyone, I would like to know if there is a way to download file from internet ( mediafire, etc) using the stock froyo browser.. it keeps. Saying me that the content cannot be managed by the browser. If I use dolphin hd everything works fine. But I want to use the default browser, so there is a solution? thanks in advance

Just download bytetornado in the market. Allows u to download any file extension using the stock browser, im using that..
Download astro file browser. It integrates into the stock browser giving you the ability to download anything.
Yeah i use Astro too. I can now download from rapidshare/megaupload .etc... and then use Astro to open them up. Good combo
Thanks to everyone... do you think that in 3.0 Rom will be implemented in stock browser the possibilities to download every kind of files?

Well, if you have a rooted N1, the stock browser in CM6 allows you to download any file type. I think Enom 2.11.x also does the same...
Stock CM6 recent nightly here, downloading files without any market file explorers.
Plus it's awesome. Serious.
My Custom ROM downloads any file as well. More info can be found here

I've been wanting to get this feature back on my wife's KF that I flashed to ICS.
the Amazon Video app WILL NOT work on a Nexus 7. It won't run on ICS or higher.
You have to download the flash apk and use an alternative browser such as firefox, ics browser + or dolphin and watch through the browser.
i have read reports that Jelly Bean 4.1.1 breaks flash so you can't even install it, in which case amazon video is impossible on the Nexus 7.
Questions go in the Q&A section
Install the apk & use Dolphin HD to watch Amazon Instant Video via web browser.
EDIT: I included flash player from my TiBU

Got it working!
Have an SGS III with CM10 JellyBean Nightly (cm-10-20121008.....). Ran it from the stock browser provided by CM10. User Agent was left as default (Android). I installed the flash file provided by the above link. I did have to request Full Site to view. Cannot view from mobile site.

There's plenty of ways to get Flash working
As for me, I do absolutely nothing on my Nexus 10 that requires flash.

Nothing. I hope the developers are using HTML5.

I installed the newest/last flash apk and load whatever sites in firefox that require flash I've found it to work the best so far.
A few sites I visit still refuse to move over to html5 and a few want you to purchase their app/subscribe to the site for mobile. This works as a good enough solution in the meantime.
Backup the apk from my Bionic still on 4.0.4, upload to Drive, install on N10. Then I use Firefox when need to watch flash vids.

Avoiding flash all together.
I have other computers for that.
This is how you get it to work. You just need a browser that supports flash. I use Boat Browser whenever I load a site with Flash: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gunFYgj-au8
there are so many ways to get flash working on nexus 10...boat, ocean browsers r good but for me Aosp browser is the fastest and the smoothest... Never had any problems with Aosp... just use search to get Aosp browser working on nexus 10 stock rom... all AosP roms comes with Aosp. browser hope it helps.
I did nothing.. Never needed flash on my mobile devices.. Ever
Good riddance to that horrible piece of code

You guys clearly don't want as much porn as I do. :laugh:
AOSP browser with the latest flash apk (available from the "archived versions" section of the adobe flash website) is my solution. :good:
Puffin browser works for me well, but its 3 bucks. I didn't mind paying for it because its works great. You get a free 14 day trial
Latest version of Flash downloaded from the Adobe site, and Dolphin Browser.. I have both frozen via Titanium unless I need them.. I'm all for not using Flash, but I don't want to not be able to access a site just because it uses flash.

It won't matter, 4.2.2 doesn't have the native ability to use flash. There are a couple of threads floating around with people claiming different browsers will work with flash on 4.2.2, but I have only tried "Boat" browser and could not get it to work. I also remember seeing a thread that has a mod in it that that uses a different build prop and modified APK to make flash work with 4.2.2 but I haven't tried it either. You can use the search function to try to find the thread I am talking about and maybe it will help you. Good luck.

I'm telling you guys, I've tried all the browsers with flash- aosp, boat, naked browser, the only one which works consistently and absolutely flawlessly is dolphin with the latest flash from Adobe's website and dolphin jetpack installed and active. I've never encountered flash that wouldn't play properly, and it is always fully functional (unlike the next best browsers like boat and aosp, which for whatever reason seem to have difficulty using flash navigation/seek bars/play/pause, etc, which works great in dolphin). Give it a shot. You might have to do the dolphin trick to enable flash to "always on" (either by restoring a titanium setting for a previous dolphin install or by deleting a particular dolphin settings file in your phone, I forget which, but I can look it up if anyone's curious), but I'm telling you, flash works beautifully on this phone as long as you have the proper tricks/browser.
Now, as far as Google recognizing flash is still essential, I completely agree. Until the web is flushed of all things flash, it is asinine to argue that since flash is not as efficient as it should be, people shouldn't use it in their websites, and we shouldn't be able to watch it. The web is full of flash, and acting like it's not there doesn't solve anything.

How did you get it working on the AT&T S4? I tried and it would not work. Maybe your method differed from mine. If your method works then there shouldn't be a problem with others getting it to work. Thanks.

Nothing special:
1. I enabled Flash Player in Boat Browser Pro (Settings>Page Content Settings>Enable Flash/Plug-ins to Always ON)
2. Installed the latest Adobe Flash Player - use the suggested link/download.
Also, there seems to be a way to enable Flash support in the stock browser; I haven't tried it yet (although I plan on) but you can give it a try and let us know.
I don't know how you're using Flash with Dolphin. In the app itself it says that Dolphin no longer supports Flash on Android 4.1+.
It works with Firefox.

That is exactly what I have done and it acts like the flash player wants to start playing content, but just shows a blank screen and a few seconds later force closes boat browser. The only difference I can tell is that I am using the free version of boat browser but the flash plugin "always on" option is still there? I already know about the other ASOP option, but I think I might try Dolphin browser to see if it will work. So I am glad it is working for you, but I don't think it works for all.
**EDIT**
I didn't try Dolphin browser...too much crap involved. But I did install Firefox with the latest Android Flash APK and it is working for me just fine. If there won't be any ROMs with flash baked in (once the bootloader is unlocked) I will probably go with the ASOP option, but Firefox will do for now.

I keep my Dolphin browser at version 8.5.1, which I believe was the last version to support Flash. I ignore the dolphin update notice in Google play..

There are a variety of ways to get flash working on the latest version of Dolphin. The easiest is to find version 8.5.1 circulating on the web, install it, set the flash to "on demand" or "always on," do a titanium backup, then update to the latest version of dolphin, and then do a titanium restore of just the dolphin app data (not the app itself). This will restore the setting for flash to either "on demand" or "always on," depending on which you had set it to in 8.5.1. Besides this, there are a bunch of other methods including deleting a particular setting file, which will automatically enable flash. They are described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846225
But as I said, flash only works perfectly on Dolphin if you also install the Dolphin Jetpack from the Play store. If you don't, it semi works (similar to the way it "works" with boat... some files play fine, some stall, some crash, and most won't show the seek bar/pause/play during playback). With Jetpack installed and activated, flash plays just like it does on my computer.

Thank You so much. Dolphin 9.4.1 with flash enabled and Jetpack works perfectly. Flash works and live websites work now and no more crashes. I used to get crashes with any browser and any flash player version.

you need to sideload it. search google for the apk and install it by transferring it to your phone. Make sure you have install from unknown sources enabled under the security settings.

If you are using OS android 4.4 kitkat then you will have install flash player manually
1. Enable the installing of APK files by checking Unknown Sources on the settings just like on Android Jelly Bean.
2. Download the Boat or Dolphin Browser from the Google Play Store.
3. If you are using Dolphin, download the Dolphin Jetpack app as well from the Play Store.
4. Download the Adobe Flash version 11.1.115.81 on your mobile device using a browser or to the computer. You need to copy and paste the APK to the mobile device if you downloaded it on a computer.
5. Go to the File Manager then tap on the APK to install Adobe Flash.
6.As the installation complete, launch Boat or Dolphin browser then go to the browser’s settings to enabled Flash plugin.
Once your device has Adobe Flash, mobile browsers can now access and load Web pages with Flash content displays just like desktop browsers.
