[Q] Unable to download MP4 vids with Paragon - Captivate General

I've flashed Paragon RC 5.1 with the updates. AWESOME Rom!! I have noticed that it says that this phone does not support MP4s when trying to download them. I can play the ones that I had downloaded before going with Paragon. Is there a setting that I'm missing to get my MP4s to download again?
Thanks

Try installling astro file manager and enable the downloading option in its settings.

That was it. I had Astro already downloaded but forgot to click that setting.
Thanks!!

Glad I could help

Download that App, connect your phone via usb and drag it onto the micro sd card. After that disconnect the usb cable, then go to the" files" application. Click on phone and then click on the file! That simple

I have the Asus TF300 (Android 4.1 JB) which is listed as not compatible (WHY GM, WHY) with Onstar in Google play. I download the APK a few months ago and it worked until a few weeks ago. Now when attempting to log in to Onstar I get the message "Authentication failed. Unable to perform request. Please try again. If this problem persists, check for an application update. (403_2)"
I have Onstar app version 1.1 (108). Where may I obtain the current version APK to download?

run .apk without file manager

I have some issues with a device I bought (coby internet tablet 7015) that have resulted in my being unable to use the android market (I always get a 404 error) or the app that came with it (appslib) I seem unable to install any apps (with .apk) because I do not have a file manager. I'm looking for a way to install apps without one, or maybe one I can install that is not in .apk format!

Go into your browser on the device and find an apk for a file manager, then download it. when it's downloaded you should be able to open it through the browser. Then you can copy over an apk for ME (MarketEnabler) and install it. ME will let you use the market.
I wrote down some options:
1. If you rooted your phone and such you can just use adb from SDK
Code:
adb install [dir/package.apk]
(usb debugging enabled).
2. If you have internet on your device, upload a file manager apk you downloaded from a pc and put it where your phone can download it from with the browser. So when the download on your phone is complete you can click on the finished download in the notification bar and install it the file manager.
3. You can also try appbrain.
Though I think you should first fix the market problem. How about resetting the phone?
You can also use DropBox. Download the .Apk to your computer, pop it in your DropBox folder, open DropBox on your device, tap the Apk, and voila!
technically its not a phone its a "Coby internet tablet" but I get what you mean, and I have actually reset it to factory default's twice with no success.
To the first poster thanks, that did work to enable to to get the file manager but what is market enabler? and any suggestions on where I can find it?
http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/downloads/detail?name=MarketEnabler_v3.1.1.2.apk
It can fake a provider to get access.
How does it work? Every time I tried it would say "We've got a problem Houston"

errmmm... every time I install ME it's ok...
try installing the 2.2.6 market from this child forum??
try appbrain. It should let you start a direct download from your PC.
If everything fails then the only thing I can suggest is installing all apps from .apk

He would need root for it to work.
If you do have root, try this http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess
It works better than MarketEnabler.
You do have WIFI enabled? And added your google account? Does it have a SIM card?

[MOD] Hulu: Flash 11 modded to work UPDATED 11/26/2011

UPDATED 11/26/2011
Ok so here is flash 11 which works with hulu by tricking it that the flash player is a desktop version. This mod is 100% the work of Vgeezy from thrive forums. i am just reposting it here.
Instructions:
1) Download the apk
2) Uninstall flash on the transformer
3) Install apk
4) Set user agent in browser to desktop (open browser-setting-advanced-user agent string- desktop)
5) Go to www.hulu.com and enjoy!
If these instructions dont work try this: (Credit Cowballz69)
1) Set flash to always on on the browser
2) Disable pictures to make sure you boot original flash in market (browser-settings-advanced-uncheck display pictures)
3) Play any flash video with original flash app
4) Uninstall flash from market
5) Install modded flash.apk
6) play any hulu video now
If your flash settings are set to on demand u must scroll down and click the green arrow on the right next to "share this video" to enable the flash. otherwise u can keep flash on always on in settings. (i hate flash ads so i keep on on-demand)
For a frame rate boost u can go to browser-settings-advanced-and uncheck load images (thanks cowballz69)
also if u want an easier ui to access vids some ppl prefer http://www.hulu.com/widget/player but i think that is better suited for smaller phone screen
if u are having problems and it doesn't work make sure you have the new 10.3 installed from market, install the modded apk over top of that then uninstall Flash again and then install the modded apk. (Thanks MonsterAndroid)
No luck here. Maybe I'm doin it wrong.

What is the error it gives u? Does it say platform not supported? or it needs higher version of flash?
works perfect. However please add this to instructions *must switch flash from on demand to always on

Ok will add tidbit about ondemand and pictures off as options. But u can still use with ondemand there is a little arrow next to share this video that allows u to turn on flash for those that hate to keep it always on to avoid pesky flash ads.
Does not work for me. Says hulu is not supported on my platform. Do i need root? I just tried installling on top of 10.3,it says not installed. Then i uninstalled 10.3 and used file manager to pull up the downloaded file and installed it. No luck.

try uninstalling the modded version again. reinstall the market version. then uninstall market version and try installing the modded version. Let me know if that works.
Make sure you hit all the x's on the tabs to close out of the browser ... you cant just hit the back button to exit, that will just put it in the background processes ... remember that. Once you come back in it should work.

I did this about 5 different times with no luck. One time my TF froze and i had to hard reboot. Then i decided to switch flash to ondemand, it had been on always previously. Dont ask why i did it, I just had a haunch. Anyways, it works now. I am not sure if it finally took or if changing the option made it work, but it works now. Thx.

Not sure why its working for some and not for others. Maybe for those who are having problems post what software build version u are using. I am on the 0423 build so maybe people who are on old firmware are having problems.
If u post as much specific detail about what the problem is and how ur device is set up maybe we can figure out a solution.
i'm on 8.2.3.9-20110423
I had flash 10.2 installed. put flash 10.3_hulu into a folder on my transformer.
uninstalled flash 10.2, then used Ghost Commander to locate the 10.3 & install it.
tried the stock browser, with the user agent set to Desktop... didnt work.
tried Dolphin HD with user agent set to desktop... didnt work.
rebooted. tried both again. didnt work.
uninstalled 10.3_hulu. rebooted. installed 10.3 (marketplace version). then uninstalled it. then re-stalled the hacked version. rebooted. tried both stock & dolphin. nothing. changed dolphin's plug-in settings from "always on" to "on demand." still nothing.
got angry. cursed out friends on xboxlive because I can. made angry post on xda forum. relived the horror all over again by typing this post
just tried installed the hacked one over the standard one. still doesnt work. uninstalled then installed hacked on again. still nothing.
Only way I was able to get it to work was by setting plug in to On Demand.
Got it to work on mine. Downloaded the .apk file and ran it from file manager. Failed to install first time. Uninstalled the stock version then reran the modded one. Installation completed then. Had to drop the show resolution down to 480. 720 was a bit to choppy. Biggest problem right now, is that the Hulu screen wasn't intended for a touchscreen interface.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
got it to work on mine but its laggy when its running on full screen.
Mine wasn't working with the apk from the older post...I kept getting the "unsupported on your platform" message right when I got into Hulu.com.
When I loaded this apk and followed the steps...I got all the way to choosing and watching a vid before I got that message....
but still no joy.

[Q] Flash player availability in my country

Hi, Just got my TF and attempted to install flash player. However, i get a message saying it cannot be installed because of my country (Trinidad and Tobago).
Flash capability was an important feature for me, so I would like to know what can I do to overcome this problem...short of moving to another country.
You could search for flash player apk and you should be able to get it that way.
edit: I've uploaded Flash 10.1 here, the latest version is 10.3.
http://www.mediafire.com/?tmggbys8czlq5mc
Okay, sorry but I'm new to android...first day actually. I understand the concept of this. The file is the android package file for flash player. If I DL it to my TF, how do I install/setup on the device?
And also...do you recommend searching for 10.3 apk, because an initial google search gave a few results for 10.3, or should i stick with 10.1 that you posted. Thanks.
just go to where you stored it with the file manager app included and open it. Also 10.3 is better.
Okay, thanks for the quick solutions. Off to try.
One thing you will need to do before you can just install it is to go to settings>applications then put a check mark in the 'unknown sources' box. You probably wont be able to install that file unless you do. Then use the inbuilt file manager to install the apk file as seshmaru said above.
And Flash 10.3 is here:

No worries, when you try to install an app from the file manager without having it enabled it tells you and asks you if you want it to redirect you to settings to allow it.

Cool. They've thought of everything then.
Success
Tried it and it worked. Got a message saying it was successfully installed.
Or maybe not....there isn't any icon for the flash player app and websites using flash tell me that I need flash player.
After DLing the apk file, i went to the location and opened it. It said installing, than said successfully installed. Any ideas??
Enable the plugin in the browser.

Enable the plugin in the browser.

Click to collapse
Sorry ....but...how exactly do I do that?
browser settings>advanced>enable plug-ins. Set to either always on, or on demand if you prefer to click and select the things that load.
Ok, got it to work! Nice.
But, can it work in firefox as well? Pages with flash work in the browser, but in my firefox app

"package file is invalid" for flash player in VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition

I flashed with "VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1". I'm impressed how everything works smooth and great. Market downloads and installs if I connect to google talk first.
The adobe flash player downloads but cannot install, it gives : "package file is invalid". Other apps installs.
I tried the suggestions that I found in the forum, including rebooting, reseting trying to install from file, trying to install different versions 10.1 10.2 or 10.3 without any luck.
Still the same error. Before trying to flash it again, I wanted to as if anybody have a suggestion ?
thanks in advance.
i also have the same problem. went to download flash player 10.3 from android market, for my htc wildfire. it just wont install
Phoned HTC up and they said it means the device dosent support flash
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA Premium App
Use Task Manager, or 'Manage Application', or Uninstaller, etc . . . to check and uninstall any flash player version that was already installed in/with the rom. Then download and install a later version of your choice. I had to do it once before. Hope that it would be the same in your cases.
Dave,
