Trouble with flashplayer on htc hd2 - General Questions and Answers

Hi there,
I am a complete noobie and just looking for advice and help to understand certain aspects of my smartphone. My main question is - why can't I view video footage posted on facebook and other websites? A message appears saying I need a more up to date flashplayer to view them. I thought as this was a new device it would have up to date software already installed.
I have installed flashplayer 7 but nothing has changed and i don't want to start downloading everything I read about as I not too sure what I'm doing. The funny thing is I can watch videos on youtube which just confuses me even more and i wonder if I have bitten off more than I can chew with this phone. Its fast becoming like my wife - its very complicated and I love it and hate it at the same time!
Please help
Thanks Nick

Flash 10 maybe?
Hi Nick,
From what i have heard, it is only the windows explorer (not the opera browser) that supports flash on the HD2.
I have also heard that there is a new flash 10 from Adobe that is available for mobile devices.
Sorry I can't be more help. But I would recommend that you place the thread into the HD2 (HTC Leo) forum. You will definitely get the response you deserve.
Pm me if you get it working

flash 10
im having the exact same problem, and flash 10 doesnt work..... Its pretty damn annoying!!! anyone know what to do???

due to my research I've find out that the only web browser without any problems in opening flash sites is skyfire. Here is the link for that enjoy...
Ups I can not post a link so try to get it from get.skyfire.com

Skyfire
How do you turn the phone to landscape in Skyfire. Watching BBCi, as it would not work in Opera, but would not rotate as the web does in Opera.
Cheers

opera mobile 10 beta 3
I actually tried the new opera beta and it plays flash movies pretty good (simply enable plugins from the advanced settings menu)

HTC HD2 Flash
I have the same problem, i even downloaded skyfire and different adobe flash software
But nothing works..
Sometimes it says: install failed, no matter how many times i try
And sometimes nothing happens at all
Now i've read a post about a tool called FixOperaFlash
I followed everything but still when i try to open a radio stream
It shows a flash button(this time bigger, so something has changed this time)
But still i cant get it to work
So what i need is just a flash player so i can listen to this stream radio
If you have found a solution and u can get this stream radio to work: realhardstyleradio.nl/player/
Then plz tell me, coz im running out of options
Thank you very much in advance!!!!

I am also pulling my hair out over this flash issue.
I have the ATT Fuze and I have been going to Talkstreamlive.com for a long time and now all of a sudden, I see they are catering to the Iphone users and when I try to listen to most any of the radio streams I have used for many many months now, I get the dreaded Flash player not installed or incorrect version error, and it just sits there showing the Adobe icon.
I have emailed TSL but as of now, still no answer to my questions...
What else can I use to get around ths adobe 7 issue? I keep hearing about adobe 10, but as far as I know, that version is not for WM devices, right? If not, where can I get it to try out?
Thanks for any help and please hurry, as I am running out of hair!!

sounds like there are corporate wars being waged over this and we are in the middle. Only if Adobe wants to give in to the rest of the world OR everyone boycotts them to force sites to abandon Flash for something else-will we ever get access to all our favorite streaming video.

hafıza kartına atıp uygulamayı yükleyebilirsiniz.
rar içerisinde "Adobe_Flash_Lite_3.1.cab" adlı dosyayı install edin
bütün problemler düzelecektir, youtube, facebook gibi sitelerin htc için ve windows mobile
için flash sorunu kalmayacaktır.

Almost all the Flash sites work.

lazomi tried, and doesn't work for me. This may be the flash app everyone says won't work for the US HD2

HELP!
Yes I have the same problem. Had a look at several "fixes" around the web including the ones on here. None have worked, and the "fixopera flash" one may as well be written in Chinese, as I have no idea how to perform the fix, even following the idiots guide!
Any simple help would be much appreciated!

Bump! please help!

Answers to all your questions
I've read all of your replies and I researched on Flash Player for HD2 and I got result. Answers to all your questions are given below:-
Does HD2 Support Flash Player?
Yes
Can we get flash player of HD2 from adobe.com?
No
Which Browser Supports Flash Player?
IE Mobile- Flash Player Lite 3.5
Opera 10.1- Flash Player 7.0
Skyfire- Flash Player 10.1
How can I get Skyfire?
Skyfire is available for download from WM Marketplace, Omarket, and other App store Markets.
Can Skyfire be easily Installed?
Yes
Will Flash Player work after installing Skyfire?
The Answer to your question is- 'NO'. And the reason behind it is- Skyfire has started developing things for Android and Iphone and currently they have changed their servers. So every time you open Skyfire Browser, it shows connecting but it says 'connection error' or makes any other excuse. Skyfire is No Longer Supported for Windows Mobile.

Get android, seriously

Skyfire substitute
Hi all,
I don't have a HD2 but i do have a HD that has been flashed with WM6.5 and I've recently discovered uZard as an alternative to the Skyfire internet browser.
It's at beta stage but lets you watch flash videos etc like on a desktop and considering it's at beta stage, seems to be really fast. There are a number of posts here at xda but you can just Google "uZard Web P Beta Ver.2.0" to download it from the official website.
Hope this helps some of you

Some general questions related to the td2

Hey,
I have my td2 now since july and am really sad about how they changed windows mobile. I first had the p3300 aka orbit and was so happy about it until I had some soft/hardware issues.
SOLVED
Now with the fancy new td2 I just can t get TCPMP to work or well it worked once with the 0.81 rc i think but not really good.
I searched now for days to find something but mostly useing my td2 and that got pretty annoying.
I am really tired of trying and searching so if anyone could help me with an easy solution then i would be thankful also because I have so what no idea about registry or such.
Also i found this nice Program W.V.D. which makes me want to have a working tcpmp even more or can I use any other mediaplayer and if yes, which one?
And one question to skyfire...
Does it just rendomly suport flash on pages i can just sometimes not get it to work at all and sometimes it runs just fine even though skyfire is really blurry but I read that we can not really do much about that yet.
my td2 is running on the original german xda diamond2 rom and I am just waiting for O2 to finally release the 6.5. Is that usefull or should i just take any cookedrom? If, which one is great? Or anyone any Idea when =2de releases the 6.5?
Also can someone tell me what the different blinking signals mean on the td2 because in the manual of the p3300 were they explained but with the td2 was not much information with.
Also i would be really happy to hear what kind of programs are essential for the td2 which programs do we need.
Thank you very much in advance

What I already tried:
TCPMP 0,72
TCPMP 0,81
Flashvideobundle.cab
h264.cab
TCPMP MAster codec pack2.cab und .zip
and all i get is the crash.txt or full startup but no loading of video file
Would be really nice if anyone can give me help i searched a lot now and i just don t have the will power to continue to read 50 threads with each about 40pages and maybe one useful hint.
Also tried to find a wiki but i guess i m to stupid for that
so long

TCPMP:
what do you think about the attached one ?
nota: u have to change in options/video: check Raw FrameBuffer
hopping it will works as well as it does for me
hey,
yes with this i at least manage to see mp4but flash and wvd still don't work... but hey anyway thank you very much for this mate
Okey I got WVD to work.
I used:
TCPMP-0.72RC1-ARM-PPC-wm61-recomp-03.CAB
Video set to Raw FrameBuffer
And FlashVideoBundle.CAB
Now it works just fine both files are attached
(edit: Upload for the player does not work i don t know why)
I've installed TCPMP-0.72RC1-ARM-PPC-wm61-recomp-03.CAB and the
application freezes.
I can't even get to settings.
I have also installed CorePlayer.
Is there any conflict between the two or TCPMP simply doens;t work on TD2.
hey sorry didn t see this ...
there shouldn t be a conflict especially if you have one running at a time.
Tcpmp works just fine on several td2 also on mine now.
Download he tcpmp which is attacht here and set this to Raw FrameBuffer
DO NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER BUTTONS BEFOR THE OPTIONS MENU not play not anything
best reinstall it and then directly to "options"
That TCPMP works but the video quality is bad as hell.
i don t have any problems with that at all
pfft installed any version prior and other than TCPMP-0.72RC1-ARM-PPC-wm61-recomp-03.CAB. none work. get a direct crash.txt.
when trying the one mentioned above it will only read the audio codec i put in the windows folder, but not the video codec.....anyone?>

Best browster with Flash for HD2?

hiho
i have ROm 1.48 on my phone, and IE + Opera 9. The most time i surf with Opera 9. But i hear, there are more browsers for the HD2.
What is the fastest browser for the HD2 at the moment, and where can i get it?
How can i upgrade the IE, if a update is available.
Can u post plz the URLS for the Browsers. I hear only about the IE, opera, Fennec and Skyfire. But could not find any URL.
Last but not least
how can i uninstall Apps like (Bing, Windows Start, Alc Copilot etc.)?
cant find them in the Program deinstallation.
thx
Skyfire download page. It supports flash but I can't say it's the best browser I've ever used. I use my Opera...
ok thx. try this out
i use the Opera 9.7 i think. Is it better to upgrade to Opera 10? What is better in Version 10? Faster browsing? Have V 10 Flash support?
Skyfire is great for its Flash support (it even handles Silverlight) but is annoying otherwise. For anything that doesn't require Skyfire, I stick to the built-in version of Opera. The Beta version of Opera Mobile 10 isn't bad, but I don't like the whole only-two-levels-of-zoom thing.
I really begin to hate opera, it has problem with more and more sites. for example tvrage.com I can't even login. I send my u/p and I'm back at the login page but not logged in. lastpass.com doesn't work, it just goes nowhere. but I get a lot of those annoying layer-ads.
really, opera mobile 9.7 is a big ****-up.
I'll have a look at skyfire until ff mobile is out.

Opera Mini still is the best!
By the way: You can use the attached file to get a signed version of Opera Mini 5 Beta 2 so you no longer have to allow data connections everytime you open it... Just place the zipped file inside "My Documents" and "install from storage" (or whatever your version of Java says) and it should work!
Thank you

Just put that into my phone, great not having to keep allowing net access and permission... just one question, is there a way i can make opera mini into a shortcut onto the quick links page? I can make Jblend (which handles java programs) but i cant seem to make a program inside it become a quick link?
Hope you can help or anyone else please
Opera mini 5 supports flash ?
Opera Mini is better than Opera Mobile?

Yes! It has pretty much exactly the same interface and is A LOT faster, even if you enable Turbo in Opera Mobile!

depends on your point of view, opera mini (4, 5 or 5.2) has always been much faster to load up web pages, Opera (standard) is fine if you have a hsdpa signal, but its way to slow to be useful in just 3g speeds.. Opera mini still battles on and makes it not that annoying.

No, I'm sorry, I have no idea!
The strange thing is: On SOME ROMs (back when I used my Blackstone) installing Opera Mini DID create it's own shortcut. On others it doesn't... No idea, what the critieria is...
EDIT: If you find a way, please let me know!
EDIT2: Just found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=258141 Should be helpful! Since I use Esmertec instead of JBlend, you have to check for yourself!
I installed Opera mini 5 by going to the offical download page in my phone browser. It couldnt identify my phone. Does that mean it dosent support hd2?
I could install it anyway but when i try to log on facebook i cant write in the login box.

Thats because adobe have decided not to release flash 10.1 support for windows mobile

Email adobe about it. This effects us all.
But for now skyfire will work.

http://get.skyfire.com/dl_winmo.php check this out
or maybe you can find Skyfire in the MS Marketplace.
thanks guys
i installed skyfire,it has gave me video back when browsing thankfully,tho not without probs on some sites,streams really slowly whereas when i was on the same sites previously with IE it streamed very smoothly.
Also is there any option to watch video full screen when browsing,as i can only seem to make it zoom in which is ok but the fact i cant get the address bar or skyfire toolbar to dissapear makes the viewable screen too small.
tap the icon on the bottom right (where the settings are). There you will find "Fullscreen Mode" to hide the adressbar and toolbar.
skyfire available on omarket, also try uzard.com pretty good and free!

Have you ever thought about using google's youtube app rather than viewing video streams through your browser?
I've attached the cab for it in case anyone is interested.

Skyfire 1.5

I have problem with Skyfire 1.5 which shows me this issue:
"Skyfire Cannot Provide Service In Your Country"
is any solution for this problem ?
Thanks
yeah I remember hearing that here is a reference

Another good reason to use Opera ...
Opera can view youtube on facebook?
NinjaDucks Opera 10 should be able to, youtube & flash has worked on every site I've used so far.
so nobody know how to fix it ?

touch 2 (wm 6.5) wont play youtube/google videos

Hi,
Yesterday i got my touch 2 and i tried viewing youtube and google videos but everytime i tried i got a message (the "message" appears in the blank square where the video should have been) saying that i need a flash player (which i already tried to install).
i tried both IE and Opera.
what can i do to fix it? i have searched all over the internet (including this forum) for a solution but couldnt find one.
(sry for any english mistakes)
anyone????
look for 'fix opera flash' it's an app that should be able to enable flash like you want.
didnt help
Well I'm not sure what version of opera you are using, don't bother with IE. I would get a different version of opera, one that supports flash and just install it. You can find every version of opera on this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486502
I believe this is the version of Opera 10 that I use and flash works fine.
