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.

Hi,
Any thoughts, ideas comments greatly appreciated.
Since purchasing my Desire S I have never been able to play BBC iPlayer or the embedded clips in the BBC website (specificaly those showing highlights of Scottish Football - yes, that's probably a good thing!).
One of the reasons for experimenting with Rooting and flashing a new ROM was the hope that this would provide the solution I needed as no amount of updating and reinstalling Adobe Flash, using different versions of this or using different browsers seemed to make any difference. Changing news.bbc.co.uk/... to cdnedge.bbc.co.uk/... doesn't work either and doesn't actually address the iplayer issue either.
Now, running a rooted Desire S with a Custom ROM, I thought that this would resolve whatever hidden issue was causing the problem.
All other video types play fine in the stock video player, so I don't think its a hardware issue.
Meant to add. I can hear sound fine, and can see the scroll bar marking progress of the iplayer episode/eweb clip as well. It's just simply that the video is missing.
Could there be an issue with the phone itself?

Now this may be entirely unrelated and possible a shade off-topic, but if I use my DS internet browser to check my flash version using URL:
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
It tells me that I have version 10.1 installed (note: take care not to confuse this with the boxes which say what versions are available)
Even after installing Flash version 11 from Android Market, the web page above still tells me that I have version 10.1 on my DS.
Other people claim that their DS responds with version 11 on this page, so I'm puzzled. But even after installing Flash 11 right from factory-reset settings it still reads wrong for me. Perhaps it's related to phone ROM version.
Flash 11 never seems to use any of it's cache on my DS - I do wonder if it's actually "connected" to my web browser at all!

Exact same problem with me. Iplayer just shows a black screen.

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.

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
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.
Dear XDA members,
I’ve been playing Forge of Empires on the PC and last week I thought to try playing it on my phone (Samsung S3 Android 4.1.2 stock rooted) as well.
But when I tried to start the game I get the message that it needs Flash player 11.7, which of course, Android does not have.
So I’ve been looking for a workaround. What I’ve found and tried so far is:
1. Install the latest version of Flash for Android 11.1XX, no luck of course
2. Use a Cloud browser (tried Dolphin and Maxthon), it gives the message it needs Flash 11.5 and not 11.7, but still doesn’t work
3. Use adobe air, no luck
A friend of mine mentioned I might update to KitKat and then try to use a hacked version of Android along with the Dolphin browser found on this forum, but I’m not really up for updating to Kitkat right now.
Not unless someone knows for sure that 1. KitKat works ok on a Sumsung S3 and 2. The game works when using flash on Kitkat
Does anyone have an idea on how to either get Flash 11.7 (or a newer version) on my phone, or make the game think that I have android 11.7?
I’m open to any and all suggestions.
I know it might sound a bit silly trying everything to see if you can get a certain game running on your phone, but the thing is, it’s not about the game anymore, now it’s about finding out if I’ve really done all that can be done.
Any advise would be appreciated.
Yoora
