[Q]HTC Touch HD: Adobe Flash Player issues...?

Hi,
I have a HTC Touch HD (Rom version: 1.14.405.3) and sometimes when I try to watch a video online (streaming using Opera or IE) I get a message: Adobe Flash outdated or Javascript disabled.
You Tube Application plays videos fine, but any videos on different websites does not... is this a flash issue...?
I tried to download Adobe Flash 2.1 or 3.0, but I couldn't find the download link on Adobe.com.
Is this a known issue...?

Flash on Windows Mobile
Flash on Windows Mobile is rather problematic at the moment and very hit and miss. Some sites work fine, others do not. You can try looking for a new version of Opera, which I believe has some better flash support. I've also found that skyfire is working quite well for some of the different sites I've tried (e.g. Hulu, Youtube, etc.).

I have opera version 9.5, build 2682.
Can I get the link to the cab file of Adobe Lite 2 or 3...? I found a thread here but the link was removed due to Adobe Compliant.

Hope it helped,

anyone have any links for the flash lite 3.1?

get mach5 browser any site any video it plays everything and pretty faster

Skyfire 1.5 supports WVGA resolution on Leo :)

I've just installed it (you can download it from http://www.skyfire.com ) and is working nicely in WVGA resolution.

Thanks, just tried it out.
Not as fast as Opera 9.7 it seems and no multi-touch support.

Gonna try it soon.
Really wondering if this will actually work. It's cool now with flashfix for opera, but there are still alot of video sites I can't watch.
Watch any video
Looking for a free mobile video player? YouTube, Yahoo Video, any web video - you name it - it's playing on Skyfire. Skyfire is the only mobile browser that supports full Flash and Windows Media videos, including Flash 10 and Silverlight 2.0. You can even watch TV on your phone!

It really works!!! Even flash games on neopets work. So does veoh, youtube, vimeo and other sites. Much smoother than IE. Only lags if you try to zoom via pinching.

Works great!
Tested quite some sites, and most of them worked.
If you pan around the page, the video goes quite slow, but if you just stay on 1 place, it goes at a nice speed too.

YES it works! but it doesn't support video streaming sites that are regional I'm in Hong Kong and want to watch some documentary dramas and it says it's not available as I think their (skyfire team) is elsewhere
Great program though!

wow, it is MUCH slower than the previous version.

This is not quite actually wvga resolution, it fits the wvga screen of the HD2 but you can see is not as clear as Opera is. The flash, quicktime, wm player etc integration is indeed something that makes this app a must-have.
EDIT: Whoops, sorry, i now see that you guys were talking about the newly 1.5 version my bad, this one supports wvga i think

Pretty slow compared to Opera 9.7, but full flash support is definitely nice to have.

trying to get nba.com videos to work and doesnt which sux

Default Browser
Very insteresting.
According that I'm interessted by Skyfire only for flash pages, I would like to keep Opera as my defaut browser.
Is it the case after installing Skyfire.

Skyfire will give you options to set if you would like to make it the default or keep what you have now. I only will use skyfire for youtube PLAYLISTS watching and listening to programs as the YOUTUBE program do not do that I as far as I know.

Does Skyfire work in landscape. At moment everything in Portrait.

Wow - it is MUCH improved. Skyfire was always such a painful experience before
As for rotation - I suspect you'll need an app such as Gyrator to make it work. It works fine on mine.

You mean the screen rotates without any software on yours?

if you install chainfire's alternative 3d driverpack for leo, skyfire works a lot smoother, especially scrolling through webpages...

New：Full-featured browser（ Uzard ）Support flash

Full-featured browser (Uzard) support flash
Similar speed and Opera 10
Please forgive my poor English
wvga version
Individual Test experience: play video,support WIFI hotspot; can upload / download files; most important thing is can quickly . . . . . . . BUG: prone to dropped calls, I do not know whether use the connection (network) related？
All in all; is a powerful browser
download experience will know..

This browser is very good better than skyfire.plays flash 10 videos in full screen its stable tabbed browsing favorites superfast( close to opera 10 )
i gotta mention that the videos are a bit laggy but then again its still in beta
Really recommend to try this browser and share your feelings about it with us

I have to say, although I have barely used this new browser, I am very impressed with what I have experienced so far.
Excellent job.

It's similar to Mach5 Web, is there anything to do with it?

I like the browser. It will play Hulu videos. The only thing I don't like is that it detects videos and plays them in its own player. In its own player the videos are playing normal. If for example a site has a video ad then the clip you want to watch, the ad opens in the player then the clip stays in the browser and is very slow. If you try a video with Hulu, you will see what I mean.
Just to compare: Skyfire is blocked with Hulu, Opera seems to work but needs Flash 10

Fantastic - must be a catch somewhere. If i had to pay for this I would. Only issue so far is TVcatchup.com - won't play vids because it says i'm non UK - but i am. Any woraround for this?

Good browser only thing is that if video is detected it work like a charm
But if not you can't even watch the video it is very slow and you got now sound ...
So the only thing that should be improved is the video detecting mode.

Here is the website: uzard.com/en/main/main.asp

does it have multitouch? because if not, why should someone change fromopera 10 when it's so similar to it?
_edit_
the download is the P version... the H version should be a better choice? am i right? like opera mini vs. mobile.

Since it can detect video on 60% of the sites so you can watch real video.
And it got flash.

I can't find anything but their homepage
I tried it, but the only thing I get is their homepage,tried xda,google opera,all I get is page not found on my hd2,I'm in australia,but surely that should'nt matter,pity it looks promising

sry, but what do you mean by real video? do you mean full screen? just doubletap on the video in opera to get it fullscreen...

Well for example if you go to youtube. And you select a video you get:
Video detected do you want to watch it now. You press ok and you get the video full screen in Uzardwebs own player. As I already said this works about 60% of the sites sometimes it don't work.
And this is not opera this is just a complete different browser. So like you got opera, skyfire and Uzardweb.

Pretty fast and most of the sites I tried worked without issues. Much better than skyfire, but still not in the vicinity of opera mobile 10. Got a lot of connection errors, but that is to be expected considering it's still in beta. Scrolling is pretty bad, but at least I always got the desktop version of the webpage(especially irritating with opera). Gonna keep an eye on this one for sure!

I tried it just now..
Flash ,Browsing works for me without issues
Good Work
Best Regards

REALLY NICE ! Videos are working very well and speedly ! ANd not only on Youtube : all flash in working great !
Simply very fast !
Already love it !
Ps : skin editable by open the exe file on pc, but it's about 1000 files to change ...

also works with megavideo. although beta, is certainly one of the best around.

Tx a lot for this tip ! Wouldn´t have found it on my own.
It´s the first browser that fully works with my online aviation weather planning program "Skyview". Also shows iGoogle-page fully and clickable. Videos work nicely (with sound)
Although beta, seems to have good potential to beat skyfire, maybe once even opera.
The only pain ita is that it doesn´t save pwds and that rotation has to be done manually. Will try now to add it to rotation in BsB .........
Will have a close look on further devs of this nice browser.
Once again: Tx for hinting

I didn't get that on hulu
the flash played natively in the browser but no sound =/
I'll try another video site

Opera 10 doesn't show video?

I like opera 10 very much. But why doesn't show videos. What can I do? Isn't there a patch for it?

Yes there is. You just have to enable it. Go to Settings>Plugins and enable plugins.

What site are you trying to view?
The flash plugin in OM10 only supports limited sites. And the performance is pretty poor.

I don't understand how people can still use Opera 10 . I find it's really crap. No text reflow, no variable zoom, no pinch & zoom....
For Flash video Skyfire or the new Uzard are so much better.

You are right, uzard is awful. I couldn't run a video by this program

i ran videos they uZard over WiFi ok but the connection time out error became quite irritating. A few more releases and hopefully we'll have a decent browser. I actually like the fact that it plays videos in its own player. Shame opera don't implement flash as standard. I don't know the ins and outs of why they haven't. Anyone know why?

Opera 10 does not show flash over Wi-Fi
I was doing some speed testing between my wi-fi connection and 3G+ and found out that Opera 10 does not work with flash on the wi-fi connection which is faster than the 3G+. Anyone know why?

[Q] Watching Flash videos on infuse

Hi
I am unable to watch flash videos through browser on infuse. It says a plugin is required and when i click that it takes to adobe flash page. But flash page mentions that this OS is not supported for flash. I have installed flash 10.3 from market but still doesnt work. Any help?
Thanks

open the browser, hit menu>more>settings>enable plugins>always on
edit:
if that doesnt work look into the "hulu fix" found in the forums for other devices. it may not be recognising the build of the flash plugin, the hulu fix plugin is modified to fake the windows plugin, if it doesnt want to play with the browser, type "about:useragent" (no quotations) into the address bar and set it to desktop, you may also have to clear cookies to get it to work on sites like hulu that intentionally block mobile devices for licence reasons.
if the browser is sluggish then try opera mobile browser, stock android browser can be sluggish on the hummingbird with 2.2. it is way better with gingerbread, unfortunately that will have to wait for a good kernel dev to port over.

Because you are using stock browser, try opera, not the mini okay.
Reason why I like opera browser, if you set flash on demand, when you click the okay on one flash it only plays that single flash that you click, while dolphin and stock browser set "on demand" if you click one flash, every flash on the web page plays, that is why it is sluggish.

I use stock browser and love it, no lag with flash on. Only downside is that 720p flash videos are slow as hell. 360p videos work the best with great frame rates.
