[Q] New captivate user - Captivate General

i got myself a samsung captivate i896 firmware 2.1 eclair.uxji2 ( i have no idea what this all means) oh and i've never rooted because i don't know what it all means and why i have to do that.
all i know is i cannot watch any videos or play any music from internet sites like radioblogclub, imeem, etc.
all i can use are youtube and crunchyroll application i installed and my music player from the phone's icon. the urmusic application which was installed when i bought the phone doesn't even startup. it waste up my space i tried to uninstall it but the installment process wasn't even done yet. so i couldn't even uninstall it much less delete it. sigh.
anyway, how can i watch videos on internet sites when i am connected to wi-fi? it keeps on asking for adobe flash player and i tried to look for it in the market and install it but it kept telling me my system requirements are not enough for the plugin to be installed. i need to install adobe flash player to be able to watch through the internet? my audio doesn't even work when i tried imeem.
please help.

You need FroYo 2.2 for Flash. Have you rooted or anything?
I suggest checking out these threads and doing some reading.

Enjoy your new phone!

Being the i869, we have something the i897' s don't have, official froyo. Download kies from either samsung site or rogers site (in support), follow the instructions on the website. Upgrade to the ofw 2.2 froyo. Start there, if you don't like that root, and try different roms.

[APP] TV Shows Stream LITE

Hi,
We have been working on this app, is my fourth android app.
The aplication searchs over internet for tv-shows links capables to be played directly on your device, with full screen support using megavideo, frogmovz, karambavidz and other hosting services. The search resoult are shown in a intuitive and easy to use interface.
EDIT: This application is not available anymore.
Samsung galaxy vibrant user here:
Using Nerov3+voodoo
on wifi
While the interface of the app was very easy to navigate. Non of the the videos I tried to play from the few websites I selected would play. I picked monk and the x-files. I also tried multiples of the sources.
It basically opens a webpage and ask you to verify that you are human. Nothing happens for "me" beyond that.
Vibrant user..nerov3..no voodoo Dexter works fine !!
Will this ever support HDMI out for the EVO?
Try megavideo servers first
The best integration is when megavideo is used as stream server, it goes directly to full screen.
I have been watching X Files and Dexter without any problem on my HTC Desire.
Sounds Great I'm in
I purchased the full version. So far so good
I have not had any problems loading videos on the Droid Incredible. However, there seems to be a delay on the sound by about a second or two.
I downloaded the lite version and experienced it both on Prison Break and Lost.
Excellent so far when I use megavideo streams. Awesome that its got its always sunny - thats not even on netflix streaming!.
watching dexter on my nexus one running MircoMod777 Gingerbread V.19
havent tried any others yet but im sure most if not all work, theres alot of sources to choose from so dont start crying if the first one doesnt load up right away, its the lite version, deal with it
Can you add Fringe?
I m a fan.
Beauty! I bought the full version right away. Great app.
same here, great app but would like to suggest maybe an integration with tv show favs app, maybe. I see the bookmarks app which is good, also how often will these be update, are we looking at 30 mins after show aired?

same with me full version on EVO cm7rc0. I will try fresh ROM later.
Hi,
This app has not been tested with custom ROMs. If you experience problems try uninstalling the rom flash player and install flash player from the market before changing your ROM.
so far so good.....most likely will upgrade soon...........great work..........
AWESOME
Bought it right away. And I never buy apps haha

thanks for the great app
works flawlessly with cynagen only problem is that still no 4g only in alpha stage when done, it will be amazing, try to see if it will work on my nook.
Running Rod's latest MIUIMOD rom on my N1(running on base 12.31). I didn't even screw with the lite app, I went to the jugular and bought the app.
Watch a few mins of a show and works great! Thanks for the app!
Works fine on my Droid X. It's running Rubix 1.9.5.

[Q] Android- Application requesting flash upgrade to play embeded videos

Recently attempted to view a embedded flash video (youtube) posted inside a android applications internal browsers and was confronted with a black box saying I needed to upgrade flash.
I'm currently using the most up to date version of flash available in the android market place. I'm just wondering if this is an issue on my part or if it's the way the video was posted? Does the application need to be coded in order to point to the player or flash embedded somehow into the application itself?
Not sure if an answer can be found without me giving more information that I don't have but figured I would ask anyways.
I have a samsung captivate but the issue was faced by all android users.
PS- We where able to view the video without issue if we simply went to the forums via our phones browsers.
Thanks for any information,

[Q] Is there any way to get Adobe Flash to run on the ChaCha?

Sorry if this sounds stupid, but I'd like to ask if anyone has figured out how to run Adobe Flash properly on the ChaCha. I've checked Adobe's website, and no, the ChaCha/Status is not listed as a supported unit. Between Adobe killing off further support for Flash and what seems like so far non-existent updates from HTC (there was supposed to be some sort of secruity flaw on certain HTC Android phones, but I've got no firmware updates from HTC or AT &T on my phone from the Settings of the phone ... I've had the phone since almost the second week it came it in America, where I am) it looks like there will be no official release of Adobe Flash 10 or 11 showing up in the Android Market Place for us ChaCha users. I have tried out .apk files from various websites (probably XDA would have been one ... not sure) and got it to install, but wouldn't display flash like it should, just like the default flash support of the ChaCha, which is very limited. I have been able to play a flash game and some videos over the standard web browser with the default flash, but nothing extra with Adobe Flash. I've tried this with 10 and 11 versions, one for Droid, which is supported for Adobe Flash. The 10 did nothing but install without actually doing anything else, and the 11 took me to an Adobe settings page, but I couldn't navigate it fully as there were parts of the screen cut off and an icon I couldn't click no matter how hard I tried. I am guessing there must be some configuration issues in the internal memory files, or just isn't compatible. I can't root right now as I need to find a shop in Sacramento that can do S-off (can't afford XTC Clip now). As a related note, on standard Nokia and Samsung phones (that aren't smart phones) I have successfully run various J2ME programs that were not intended for the device. I was even able to run a game for the Nokia Series 60 phones on a Samsung BlackJack, which is of course Windows Mobile 6 based, but couldn't play due to the keyboard layout. I have had two Nokia Series 40 phones, one which still works, sort of, the Nokia 6030B. The point of this digression is that I figured there would likely be a way to run Android software not intended for the particular device I have, the ChaCha of course. Oh, and since I mentioned J2ME software, anyone been able to run it on the ChaCha, or any Android device? Just curious.
Ask and you shall recieve: http://www.androidcampus.in/2011/10/adobe-flash-player-102-for-armv6-and.html
Full adobe flash for armv6 devices like ours. Not flash lite but the real thing. It runs out of the box on the SuperOSR rom, but you'll probably need to remove flash lite from a Sense based rom in order for this to work, which ultimately means having to be S-OFF.
Sent from my A810e using XDA Premium App
Thanks!
Much as I suspected ... would need to root. After Christmas I will look around for a repair/mod shop that can S-off with the XTC Clip or reliable clone. There were several operating out of the Westfield Downtown Plaza (Sacramento) but I do not know if they are still there given how barren much of the mall is now. Also I had a Nokia or Samsung 'dumb phone' I wanted a cable for, and ended up getting one that didn't work, with the wrong drivers on a mini disc. Once I do get S-off by this or other means that may come up in the future I will look into the post you mentioned. According to Wikipedia, Arm 6 is supposed be similiar to Arm 7 but with less instruction sets available. I suppose this is why Adobe's official flash app would not be compatible, but there is no reason why some other flash app from homebrew or whatever might not do something better than the default Android flash (well, default if you didn't get a phone with Adobe Flash on there from the get go ... I think those are all higher spec phones, like some of the Motorola Droid phones). This may be for the best anyway, as Adobe has forsaken the mobile phone users of the world as far as flash goes. Hopefully they will keep Acrobat going. That is a good app to have, albeit not as good as on PC (and Mac?). Sorry if I sound newbish, because I am a newb as far as the technical details. Not since my Nokia 3030b have a had a phone with as much independent development as the ChaCha. I could have done more with that Nokia if it only had an SD card slot or a readily available cable for purchase. Oh well. No point in bothering with that now.
awesome...didn't know there are any flash versions out there for arm6...
so are there any news for version 11 of adobe flash player for arm6?
Tried out the download
After installing the modified Adobe Flash 10.1 APK I tried a some from the Marketplace that said Adobe Flash was needed and a couple worked. I also tried a number of Flash videos and Flash sites and got mixed results. Some wouldn't show up but most ran, but slowly (except for sound). Maybe one or two ran right but I think they may have been optimized for mobile devices. I ran some NicoVideo viewers on my phone and only one was actually able to display the video (complete with Nico's unique comments flashing by during the videos). However, it actually downloaded the videos to the SD card, and MoboPlayer already runs FLV files so it's a bit hard to gauge how effective the Adobe Flash would be, or even if it's running. I checked Adobe's Shockwave page and the little animation came up as well as 'you have version 10,1,1,102,54 installed'. The same would later prove true for the regular Adobe Flash page as well. I repeatedly installed and uninstalled the Flash from the list of installed programs on my phone, but am still able to get the same results regardless of whether it was installed or not. I have a feeling some files must have been stored permanently in Root, which I cannot access as I am S-On, but am not quite sure. As the ChaCha does have rudimentary flash support from the get go despite not being a phone officially supported for the Adobe Flash APK, I cannot be certain. Does anyone with an officially supported phone for Adobe Flash 10.1 get similiar results? How about a rooted phone? Also if anyone has successfully gotten Adobe Flash 11 to run on ChaCha let me know if your flash performance improved from 10.1. Of course even an Adobe Flash APK that is fully useful for our ChaChas would only be of limited use, given Java, Silverlight, and various other plugins, scripts, etc. that currently are in use for videos, video games, and online apps, so don't think that you will be able to run anything. Having Adobe Flash working, even on a so-so level, is a big help though. Please post any experiences you may have had with Adobe Flash or basic Android flash players on your phone and any monkeying around you may have done to make it work or work better.
Tried out some .SWF files off line successfully
With Smart SWF Player (would be good player for just watching Shockwave Flash videos, as opposed to .FLV, files, which run fine too but MoboPlayer already does that well, were it not for the ads. Did not see any ad free version for sale in Market) and SWF Player File Viewer (this has an ad free version, but couldn't press any of the keyboard buttons but space ... maybe I need to look more into it) I was able to successfully run flash files, other than FLV which several video players already do, such as MoboPlayer. SWF Player Filer Viewer said that I had not installed the Adobe Flash Plugin, but ran the files anyway. Upon clicking it I was taken to the Android Marketplace, where it pulled up Adobe Flash 11 which of course is not officially compatible with the ChaCha. Thought I would report my findings. It seems hunch in the last post so far seems correct - Adobe Flash is still on the phone, somewhere, based upon what I have been able to do and see thus far, but isn't quite working as well as it ought to. Perhaps Adobe Flash 11 would do things right? By the way, in the official Marketplace one will see an app called 'Flash Player 12' - I have not tried to run it as the same developer also supposedly had Chrome and GTA (like on a PC or PS2) for Android. That seems quite fishy to me.
here Adobe Flash Player 10.3 for ARM6 Processors...
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23720575/do...d_higher_com.adobe.flashplayer_10.3.186.3.apk
Update: seems like it's not installing....
not sure why
Don't know why your 10.3 did not install. Did you try going to Adobe's Flash plugin site to test it out? If it installed it show your flash version and display an animated banner.

Yes! Flash 10.2 is running on my HTC ChaCha, I've shared how I did it in a tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475575
Root is required, but as you probably know, the XTC clip is no longer required for root. I've added instructions for it all anyway
Currently, there is not a option to run Adobe Flash but a flash edition for BlackBerry is in the performs hopefully this season. Actually, I heard about it at ChaCha as well.
so nice
Usefull question thx

[Q] DivX web player support

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to play divx files in-browser, i.e. to stream video files from the internet and not to play downloaded .mp4s. I've tried several apps that are supposed to do that, such as moboplayer, MXPlayer etc., and none of them worked. Am I doing something wrong, or is it impossible to use this plugin in any way on android any more?
Device: US MZ604 on stock 4.1.2. I've tried the stock browser and chrome* so far
*which apparently now doesn't support any plugins anyway...
Welp, no replies eh well..
I may have solved this issue by downloading a newer version of Flash anyway. I say may have because while the plugin now works, it seems to be very slow to load anything. Frankly, I'm out of the time (and the data allowance) to test it thoroughly, but give me a few days and I may be able to call this solved. Later then...
OK, the plugin has been tested repeatedly now and, I am pleased to say, works! So the message is: if your version of flash isn't working, delete amd sideload another one. I presume everyone knows where to go for those ersatz updates by now, but if not the answer is of course a website like http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/apk or right here on this forum
So, we can call this thread SOLVED.

[Q] New owner of a Note Pro 12.2 - Questions

Hello everybody,
I just bought a Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 (unlocked LTE edition). I have to say that although I am quite an experienced Windows user, I am totally new to Android. So far I really enjoy this tablet and I am trying to use it as at least 70-80% as a laptop replacement (if possible).
I have some issues though and I would like to ask for your help:
1. Adobe Flash Player: I was reading that unfortunately Android 4.4 does not support flash player any more. Although I am also not a big fan of flash, it seems that is required quite often (e.g. for youtube videos, facebook games, etc...). I found on the XDA forum in another thread that it should be possible to use flash player with the Dolphin web browser. I would like to ask you if there is a way to install flash also on Chrome or Firefox.
2. Youtube: I often get the message that the content is not available on mobile devices. Is there any way to bypass this somehow? Also is there a way to always load desktop websites instead of the mobile ones?
3. RemotePC: I tried RemotePC which comes pre-installed with the device and I like it quite a lot (although it's a bit slow). However, I have not found a way to transfer files from my laptop to the Note. Could you please help me with that? Also, are there maybe any other apps which perform better than the RemotePC?
4. Media Player: Whuch media player would you suggest? Is there a media player such as VLC for PC which can handle all different video and audio files (MKV, AC3, AVI, etc...)
5. Rooting: I have read some stuff regarding rooting and it seems that it's really worth it. I would like to ask you if is it possible to root Note Pro 12.2 and if yes then how to unroot it in case I would need to use my warranty.
I know that these are quite a lot of questions and I would be really grateful if you could help me!
Thanks a lot!

1. The problem with using Flash is that the -browsers- won't support it in KitKat. I can only get it to work with Dolphin. I use Lightning + for everything else, though.
2. Maybe this: http://imgur.com/zc2Kzan. Otherwise, I just watch the videos using Dolphin set to 'Desktop' mode.
3. To transfer files, I use either Ex File Explorer (free) or Solid Explorer (paid, but super awesome). I use a different program to connect to my PC remotely, though, and it is fairly quick: Real VNC Viewer which used to be $10, but is now free. I have TightVNC installed on my computer.
4. I use Archos or MX Player. Archos is beautiful, but you have to buy the codec pack to play everything else. MX Player comes in free and paid, but I don't care for the interface. The combination of both (I've not paid for the codecs) plays every file streaming from my computer. I'm sure if I pay for the codec pack, Archos will play everything.
5. I've rooted, and I'm 100% satisfied. I have a lot of apps that require root. I'm sure unrooting is possible, but I will never have the need. Plus, once you're rooted the Knox counter is tripped.
Perfect... Thank you very much for your help!!
I have another question regarding youtube... Is it possible to continue play the video in the background when I switch tabs or I open another app?
Also what is this Knox counter and what does it mean that it will be tripped? If I eventually root the tablet, do I have to re-install all the downloaded apps from the beginning?

There are apps that can do that, yes. PVSTAR+ is one. I suppose with multi-window mode you could have YouTube playing in one window and doing other things in the other window? I've not tried.
I'm not sure what the Knox counter is, actually. I believe the original purpose was to show if the device's software had been modified. When you root, Knox shows the device was tampered with. When I rooted, I didn't have to re-install anything.

While the Knox counter will tell Sammy and everyone whether or not your device has been tampered with / rooted etc, its primary purpose is for the enterprise. The Knox partition (if you enable it) creates a "secure" work environment which is what many companies want with their mobile devices. Software policies can be easily put into place which read the Knox counter and if it has been tripped will treat the knox device as either 1) a typical unsecured device and let it on the network however the admins allow unsecured devices on, or 2) prevent the device from hooking up to the network even with a knox partition in tact.
Knox is Samsung's way of trying to break the Windows / iOS (and once upon a time BB) lock on the secure corporate / government world. I actually think the idea is brilliant as you have two partitions, one to install all your home crap on, and a tight secure partition strictly for work.
My thoughts exactly. Knox has nothing to do with the hardware warranty.
