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....

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

Sounds like something odd with your device. I have never had a problem with flash in any of the browsers. Was it always like this with your device? Is it possible you're having some type of app conflict?

Have had 2 different x's running gb both shared the issue. Did a reset installed only flash and the browsers and it continued so its not another app messing it up ....could I be receiving my signal differently or a weaker signal after gb? Its driving me crazy lol

I guess anything is possible at this point, but to eliminate a signal issue try the same sites over wifi.

Go to hummerstuff.com and see if you get the animated pictured. That's where I always go to test flash.

Last resorts and I'm out of ideas.

 

Battery pull with the phone powered on.

Factory reset (yes, I know it sucks).

Take it back to the store.

See if they will upgrade you to the DX2. The real DX2 not the DX 2GB.

Sort of. There is the new DX2 which is the dual core, and there is the DX that you have now that comes with a 2GB card, which was incorrectly referred to as the DX2.
