Flash player

Has anyone else had issues with adobe flash player? I've been noticing that things won't play. These are things I've used before, and now it won't work. I've gotten messages that say need flash player 6.0 or higher or 8.0 or no flash player installed. I'm updated to flag player 10.3 now, and that hasn't helped. It did start before I updated. But I'm not absolutely sure when it started. Any ideas?

After you have plug ins enabled in the browser, please ensure Javascript is enabled as well. Then clear cache and form data, after that power the phone off and on. Try the flash player again. Also contact the developer in the Market for additional troubleshooting.

Thank you!

1. Which browser are you using?

2. Are you on Froyo 2.2.1 or Gingerbread 2.3?

3. Do you have the Flash option turned on in the browser because sometimes this option id disabled in some browsers?

Not getting errors but have been seeing blue arrows where flash content usually is but it still plays if I click it. I have seen this the last 3 days on stock and dolphin browsers also it seems pages aren't loading all of the time on both browsers

Give Opera Mobile a try, I haven't noticed any issues with it playing flash sites so far. This is a only for testing....

Opera doesn't show the flash or arrow just says get flash player with a link

Try removing older versions of Adobe Flash Player first.....then install the latest version.

I'm using what ever browser came with the phone. I've had the issue with both froyo and GB. I have plug ins enabled, is there some other option I should have on?

That is a strange one, I havent seen any issues playing flash... Maybe try removing the flash player and installing new version like other poster reported?

I did that and reinstalled still hit and miss the stock browser is more consistent but all 3 are buggy acting and im sure its a dolphin issue but it seems site are failing to load now where I had no issues before.

not really an issue.

when i upgraded to 10.3, a message said old version had to be removed 1st.

I didn't have to uninstall the previous version, it just updated right over it.

If you're using the stock browser, try clearing the cache in settings.

Also for tabbed browsing (which I thought stock supported), try using Dolphin HD, IMO it's the best 3rd party Android browser.

I've tried xscope, miren, firefox, skyfire, but I always go back to Dolphin.

Been have a lot of flash issues and page loading problems with dolphin ...as far as I can tell no tab option in stock browser and the open new window seems to open right over the current window but not in a separate window which leads to having to reload pages
