For those of you that pulled the trigger on the official sprint update and lost the flash capability of the custom roms, there is good news. I found Dolphin Browser HD in the market and it runs flash content better than any browser I have seen thus far for android. Check it out, I was pretty excited to see this.

hmm really? like real inbrowser flashh?
It displays my website that requires Flash 10 and the default browser with the official sprint 2.1 won't. I like the look of the UI too.
Sweet. I'm gonna check this out.
Are you sure about this? I've been using dolphin browser for a while and I've never got flash stuff to work

You know this has got to be an fluke of some kind. I can run flash content on my Dolphin Browser HD with no problems. I can't run flash in the default browser.
Last night I installed Dolphin Browser HD on my wife's phone and her phone says she needs to download a flash player to view content. I have tried over and over to get hers to work and nothing, but mine works. I have no idea why. Is there a way to do screen capture video on these devices so I can show you?

Change your user agent to desktop.
it works when user agent is Android too, but a lot of pages default to mobile, so changing user agent helps with that.

Even Hulu loads (not the movies though, just says not available for your platform)...the user agent string for desktop can't be changed in Dolphin by chance, can it? Not that it would be much use on my Hero anyway, it seems pretty slow.
I tried both user agents on my wife's phone and it won't load flash, but mine will. I still can't figure out the difference.
Wouldn't work for me.

Aye works in DolhphinHD. For IMDB at least...Some other sites want me to open the flash content in another app...
why can't i play movies in You Tube with Dolphin HD?
flash plays on android 2.2 or above.
I've been wrestling with the Flash issue for months. I tried SkyFire and that doesn't work, tried Dolphin HD and that doesn't work, Youtube App doesn't work, Hulu App doesn't work. I'm pretty frustrated but I'll uninstall Dolphin HD and download the latest from the market just in case and try it again.
I managed to find a Flash 2.2 APK and it works about 15% of the time so it asks for an upgrade to the new Flash Player. It sucks we don't get native Flash on teh Hero as I use this now as m daily business phone.

Has anyone figured out how to stop the browser from automaticly switching to modile sitez?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
hopefully someone will correct me on this, but it is my understanding that whether or not you get a mobile site is not dependent on your browser, but rather some of the information that is given to the website when you contact it for content.
Here's to dreaming about hulu on my captivate while I work out... *swooon*
Just use skyfire it has the ability to make sites think that your using a desktop browser

I know but I like the standard browser and on 2.1 you could change it. Thx
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
On every other android phone you can enter about:debug in the browser & it will give you more settings like ua string where you have the option to choose between android, iphone & desktop but on the captivate this bricks the browser & you have to do a factory data reset to get the browser working agin or use an alternative from the market to go online agin! (SO DON'T TRY IT!!!) Someone should really try & fix this! I actually like the stock browser other than this. Now im using dolphin because of this but its not as fast as stock.

I've been running SkyFire and I am still not able to view Hulu regardless of my browser settings
Posted this in General but did not hear anything. I dont mean to spam. Just looking for a solution.
For those who have an android phone running froyo your probably aware that hulu had blocked their site from android users. Generally in the past there were methods around this which involved installing a modified flash.apk.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688054
Okay so I went ahead and removed the previously installed flash apk (use root explorer to do it) then I use adb to install it. The next step involved using the debug mode in the browser to make our seem like it is a desktop. Well when I type about:debug in my browser and go into the settings there is no option to change it to desktop. I only see these options:
So my question is, how the heck do we get hulu working?! When I used skyfire to and switched it to the desktop view, it said I didn't have flash installed. Any ideas?
update:
okay so i found a thread on XDA that seemed to get me a lil further but not where i wanna be.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...794512&page=12
this thread suggest that you just install the latest flash.apk and just replace the lib file they give u with the one that comes preinstalled. doing that gets me an error on hulu:
"Unfortunately Hulu is not supported on your platform. We apologize for any inconvenience."
Before, I just got an error saying that they are gonna bring hulu plus to android but thats about it. yes i changed it to desktop and even tried it on skyfire. nothing.
anyone?

Ive gone through the same steps ( own a nexus one and had hulu running fine) ran into the same issues on the tab. Hulu is on it, they dont want mobile browsing on the site without paying. Channelsurfing.net and atdhe.net work on the tab just fine.

Thanks for the sites but unfortunately it doesn't have my anime. I'm following a new series and its only available through funamation which posts everything on hulu. Would really love to get this working.

I've had this problem on my Evo and now also on my TF...
Every time I reboot my device when I click a bookmark or URL link of any sort it asks me which browser to open it with and asks to check the box if I want it to always open with that browser. That browser will then truly be my default browser and automatically open such URLs and bookmarks until I reboot and I have to select which browser again... Is there any way to change this so that it remains the default browser and automatically opens links after rebooting? I use Dolphin HD by the way. Thanks in advance!

Yeah, its happening to me too. Hope it gets fixed.
I had the same problem with Dolphin HD on Desire S as well as on Nexus S. Still no fix for this issue?
SOLVED
Ok, I got it All you need to do is to keep browser in phone memory. Concerning Dolphin HD, only browser must be in phone memory, you may move add-ons to SD card...
This worked for my Nexus S but I hope it's universal.
Hi guys,
I had heard of it, but never really experienced it. The main feature I could annoy Apple fans with is now gone. Flash is not availaible for Android anymore.
I just switched to ICS and realised it's not avalaible to my chrome browser.
I searched the web to try to find something to replace it, but haven't anything yet.
I understand that HTML5 will eventually replace flash, but what about existing flash application? There's no way to run them anymore except switching to an older browser? There must be another workaround. what you guys use to run existing flash application?
Can't believe i'm at the same level then apple fans now
P.S. If there was already some threads about that, sorry to repost. This forum is so huge, can't see everything.
Chrome will NOT and ever support flash. However other browsers (dolphin or FireFox) still do and getting flash is as easy as downloading an apk and installing it

I confirm it, after installing the apk of flash there's no troubles, excpet for Chrome as it is not supporting flash. I personally use Firefox for example.
Running 4.1.2 and have flash player 11.1 installed but when i try to watch a movie online it says "flash player not installed" is it just me or does it just not work anymore even being installed from an APK file?
I remembered reading somewhere that flash player doesn't work on some browsers. For example, it doesn't work with Chrome.
Flash is not supported on android starting with Jellybean.

I'm in agreement with bkoon. If you happen to be using chrome or another browser, have flash player installed and are receiving that message try the stock browser and you should be fine

It was actually not supported starting with ICS 4.0.hmm... was it 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 when they officially cut updates and made it no longer available?
But yes, it was still ICS when they said no longer available and the various browser apps stopped supporting it.
Positive note, if you're still holding on. Lightning browser will try to support it, is free, and tiny. Negative note, if you look at both sides of an issue. It warns you that Flash is not really stable and will probably crash.

Updates continue for "approved devices" (basically those that originally shipped with Flash) for Android 4.0, but not present on Market/Play any more.
Definitely working in Boat Browser for me, though not reliably as a system app, for some reason.
Somebody showed me this browser that has flash support built in.
