My 1st post...need help, please.
I got my Transformer yesterday...everything's great except Flash Player 10.3 won't install. Yet no problems with other apps I've done.
I done it about 10-15 times through android.market and just end up with the message 'this app will be downloaded to your device shortly'...only it's been going on over 12 hours and it hasn't.
Tried it through default brower (app store directly)& DolphinHD...I can see it download, but it won't install.
I think on the 1st download I got disconnected from the server, but retried a lot of times since.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
PS Just tried something I found where Facebook app took a long time to install.
I hit the upper right 'app', saw the download appear and installed from there-that worked for this one and a couple others...but, not for Adobe Flash-tried it numerous times. Still looking for a solution, since this is why I wanted the transformer(s)
Find the thread named "flash 10.3 modded for hulu" or something like that and download the apk from there, then sideload it. From reading your post it seems u were trying to install flash from the web market and not the market app on the phone? If you haven't perhaps try that. Sometimes even on the market app some apps might take a few tries to install.

i've had issues with the market where it will say it is downloading something, but never starts.
easy fix, back out, then go back to the app you want to install and click install again. this solution has worked for me the handful of times I have needed it.
Thank You both for the help! Boy, this shows me being a newbie
I got it and I don't know how long I had it after trying 30-40 times. When I go into settings/applications/Manage applications...it was sitting there!
But, when I look at My Apps it was still sitting there to install and never gave me a message that I already had it. And when I looked at app icons it didn't show up...since learned it's not an application, but a plug in-so I was looking for it in the wrong place.
Lacrossev, Thanks, I did find that thread. Got as far as manually downloading it to my computer, plugged my TF into the computer which it saw....then I got totally lost on what to do. Now I'll search for more info on 'sideloading' in case I need it in the future.
In the end I spent 4-5 hours fighting this and had the fool thing-wow!
Thank you again Elgenja and Lacrossev for taking the time to write! Just yesterday I was going to send it back, now I really like it and not having any other problems...really pleased and learning.
Unless watching Hulu is a must for you right this moment, I wouldn't bother with the modded flash package just yet. It's still a work in progress, the current version bugs out if your browser is ever closed, and requires you to uninstall then reinstall flash to get working again. The install process for it is also a tiny bit gimmicky at the moment. If you just want flash working for everything else, just stick with what you have and enjoy hulu when the modded package works more easily and is more stable. That said, I follow those directions there everyday when I watch hulu on the TF, it works.

I had flash already, but when I upgraded to 10.3, it kept on saying done, but still shows that it's not installed and the "update" button was still available. No matter how many times I press update, it didn't install. But after rebooting it did. Try that.
Had the same problem updating Flash with mine. Had to go into settings and Manage Applications and uninstall the Flash that was already there. Then killed Market app using Advanced Task Killer. Opened Market again and it installed fine.
Chrome browser is out
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.android.chrome
Got it running on existz's aospX rom. Liking it so far, seems at least a bit faster than default browser.
Cool! I've been waiting for this, I use Chromium on both of my computers so I was looking forward to chromsync. It's good to see it being developed even if it isn't quite perfect yet. Flash support and add-ons are all they need to add for me to be happy.
Has anyone had any issues with this browser?
I downloaded it, and it seemed to work fine at first, but upon typing in a website, Chrome would freeze and my entire phone would reboot. I've never had any smartphone react so badly to an app. I'm running it on my Inspire 4g with LC's Icecoldsandwich 1.4 .
Posting this from the chrome browser on the same rom, must just be you. You should clear data and cache in chrome and the default browser and see what happens.
Is there any chance you could give me a quick rundown on how to do that? I'm familiar with wiping caches for flashing roms, but don't have the slightest idea how to do it for individual apps
EDIT* Never mind. I figured out how to clear the caches. Still the same problem. First I loaded XDA and it worked fine. Then I typed in boingboing.net (which is the site I used to test it every time I had this problem) and it crashed, again... My phone reboots and every app is gone from my drawer (Except for Cordy). This time, for curiosity's sake I tried to run that game. Started it up, then hit the home button. Trebuchet crashes and the phone works again.
I'm pretty bummed, honestly. Chrome has been my favorite browser for years on the computer and I was really hoping it would come to android (Lucky for me, it did only 2 weeks after I got my first android device). Maybe the next beta update or the next LC update will make them play nicer together. Any other recommendations for the meantime would be appreciated

Settings>Apps>(Click on app in question)>"Clear data"
A lot of small issues that pop up with apps can be solved by clearing data. Its one of the most useful tricks, IMO

I like it, but it doesn't really offer much more than the stock browser in ICS. I like the UI of stock and the speed boost isn't massive. Also the fact that the search bar/ url bar stays in place while scrolling is an annoyance. I have it for fun, but its not ready to be my everyday browser

Chrome for Android will not get flash support.
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...mfnJBQ&usg=AFQjCNFlhAiIr9uqpfRpzGfJFfonhohyLw
I checked it out. Seemed to work well enough. I'm running the aospX rom
So excited to check this out! I'll post what I think later. It seems that no flash support is a killer for me though.
I installed a Chrome Beta apk I got from some of the other forums here at XDA, but I seem to be getting FCs every time I launch the app, was wondering if anyone got it working or if anyone has found a fix for this issue.
It requires hw acceleration. Won't work for us yet until we get that achieved.

That makes sense, I did manage to download an apk that does not FC every time, but I can't really says it's usable.
Here's hoping the CM9 team or some other dev manages to make it work someday.

I got it directly from the market and it loads but all pages are blank.

I can't download it from the market since I don't live in the US, but I get the same results as you, it loads but all pages are blank, and I can see the synced results on the omnibox but no page returns.
I have it installed. No FC's, but it doesn't work. As stated, it needs hardware acceleration. It went through the entire setup, sign in, and import of all normal information. But when you try to load anything, you stare at a blank screen.
have u try texasice' ROM, igoogle chrome beta work great with ICS AOSP

I also had serious problems with Chrome constantly freezing and crashing on my Xoom wifi upgraded to Kitkat Omnirom 4.4.2. I've installed version 33 as advised in another thread (a developer one that doesn't allow me to post there), using an apk file linked on that thread.
I haven't tested this yet but, assuming it works ok, how do I stop it from updating automatically? Any idea on how we'll know when an update appears that is safe to install, and will work?
Chrome Beta
I had the same problem too. Chrome on Omni and TeamEOS kept freezing. Only to kill the running app was helpful till it freezes again.
Then I've installed Chrome Beta (v37.0.2062.55) and since then everything seems ok. Until now no more freezes.
Maybe anybody else to prove that?
Simple fact of the matter is, KK is just slow on the Xoom. I'm amazed that we even saw 4.4, seeing as how mine (wingray) is over 4 years old.
I ran CM11 there for a while, but the constant freezing of Chrome and the slow clunkiness of the interface was enough to drive me back to CM10.1
I finally jumped on the wagon as i was sick of my POS phone being so slow. I got it rooted with kingoroot.
I just want it to be faster when using my main apps.
Pleco Software
Skritter
*FB Messenger (I don't love this, but i need FB messages)
*FB Page Manager
*Camera
LINE
*MP3 Player
*and a few accesssories. Calc, Google calendar...
*oh and the contact/phone of course.
* i would be willing to change these to some other that will do the job.
I am not the most able, I can follow instructions no problem buy my lingo is outdated.
Just wondering if any one would like to lay it out for me.
i read i should. get a new ROM (which), I should switch my Kingo to SuperSU and i should do the ole APPS2SD, but i don't know which order and will exactly how to do it.
Current An Ver 4.1.2
I still have about 6 months on my contract so i will get a good
Well i ended up gettign it roots and putting Phliz Touch C-Recovery and Droidwin Lollipop on it. It seem great. Actually i works a charm. There are a few bug here and there, but all it ok.
