Dolphin Browser HD now has Flash!

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.

2.2 Desktop view in browser

Has anyone figured out how to stop the browser from automaticly switching to modile sitez?

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

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

Default web browser after a reboot?

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!

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

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.

Download files with Captcha (ex. Filesonic)

I cannot download files from sites where you have to set the password Captcha. I wait, I write the password, then I click the following link but instead to download the file, it download an html file of 200 bytes. I tried stock browser and Astro. Only Firefox works but Firefox is a beta then 3 times of 4 it freezes. Any suggestion?

Of all the browsers available, only opera mobile does this perfectly. I use it for all downloads.

Don't use the button on the site but use the go as darkpal says... twisted my head for ages till I put that one together...
Dolphin worked on one of the betas recently but was buggy as hell in every other way. Opera or skyfire work a treat though

Try playing around with switching to desktop/android modes.. also keep in mind filesonic has recently stopped working on Firefox on PC too so they have new systems in place to combat all the skipscreen like programs.
Jdownloader+captchatrader+jdown-remote-onAndroid = WIN.
Take WIN + dropbox and you have EPIC WIN!!

[Q] Does the HTC Desire X support Adobe Flash?

Hi everyone,
I have checked the site http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire_x-4951.php and it states 'Browser: HTML5' most of them on GSM Arena do have 'Adobe Flash' there as well, I have checked on other sites and some places do say the HTC Desire X does support Flash, and some say it doesn't.
What will it be? Can anyone that owns this phone or used it before confirm if it supports Adobe Flash?
This is taken from the official HTC website on the Desire X handset.
Rich and seamless browsing experience
Enjoy HTML5 and Flash® content on the go. And no more panning left and right. The web browser's text reflow automatically adjusts text to the width of your screen. To find out more about using the web browser, see Browsing the Web.
You can also keep a copy of what you're browsing so you can read it later even without an Internet connection. See Saving web content for later.

Please help me clear this up, it's one of the features I want my new phone to have and the other phone I have looked at is the 'Samsung Galaxy S Advance' which states 'Browser: HTML, Adobe Flash', so an advantage for the HTC would be that it is HTML5 what ever this means.
Please help me clear this up, thanks!

The easiest way to get flash is to use a browser that supports it. For example my favorite browser is dolphin browser and it supports flash. So download dolphin browser from the play store and that should work.
Press thanks if I've helped u

Thanks, but in terms of the Browser on the HTC Desire X does anyone know or tested if it supports Flash at all? Would appreciate it, if someone who has used the phone before could give me there input here, cheers.
