Droid Razor will not stream Flash videos after ICS Upgrade

[cRAZYHOTWHEEL]

Are you able to stream flash video after ICS upgrade on the Droid Razor?

My Razor will not stream Flash Video after the ICS upgrade (v.4.0.4).  I spent numerous hours on the phone with Verizon Wireless Techs and I was told basically that Flash would no longer be supported for Android Devices after ICS. Verizon advised me that this is a Motorola issue; although Verizon Wireless own website states very clearly that the Motorola Razor supports Flash. I called Motorola and they passed the blame to Adobe and thier decision to no longer support Flash after Android v.4.0. I went to my local verizon store and was able to stream video on every ICS platform but Motorola. HTC and Samsung phones worked just fine. The local manager promised to call me back after he was going to "check" possible solutions.

Has anyone found a solution? 

I have tried various solutions from resetting the factory default to installing Dolphin and Opera web browsers. Nothing seems to work. I have reinstalled Adobe Flash.

Any help would be great!

Did the same and they said they would let me have a

HTC Rezound.

That's the only one I got so far. Did not buy it the first time, so why should I this time.

Adobe flash support with DROID RAZR Ice Cream Sandwich

Why did Google/Motorola remove Flash?

Adobe Flash is not removed from the device; however, due to Adobe's discontinuation of Flash development, Flash Player is no longer preloaded and is not available for download from Google Play to your device. Existing installations of Flash Player may or may not play Flash video properly. Alternatively, the new HTML5 standard is on your device and is supported for Web video .

I heard Flash was no longer available, but mine seems to be working

Existing installations of Flash Player may or may not play Flash video properly. This will vary depending on the specific device configuration and on the website.

I purchased this phone because it had flash capability, why was it removed?

Flash has not been removed, it simply will not be supported moving forward, as Adobe is no longer supporting the development of Flash Player for Android 4.0

Is there an alternate application or something I can use in place of flash?

Alternatively, the new HTML5 standard is supported for Web video found on your device. Many sites already support this standard and should be viewable with no additional apps.

While we do not endorse or guarantee these solutions, or provide support for them, some owners have reported success using a 3rd party Android Applications like "Adobe AIR".  You can search the Google Play Store for 3rd party applications that are available that may enable you to run the flash video on your device without a browser, providing the convenience of a native app or browser.

What is HTML5?

HTML5 is a new standard for rich web content that is already prevalent and in wide use today.

What about the Apps in Google play, will those that required flash be updated?

Some applications may be impacted, but most developers are working to ensure compatibility. You can check the specific specs for the app you are interested in.

I am only able to stream flash contents when using Sktfire on my S3... All other browser ask for flash to.be downloaded that does not.work any longer.

Splashtop works well for flash although you need to have your computer on. That's how I watch web only videos on Hulu without subscribing to Hulu+. Depending on connection speed it works really well for running other applications as well.

I may have to Try that wildman skyfire is that the Name

Flash is still used on the overwhelming majority of sites. HTML 5 may be the future but it's nowhere near being standard to not support it is stupid. When I surf the net I use desktop mode on my phone and thus many sites still use flash and without flash the browser is useless. If my phone ever gets a upgrade to ICS( which I WAS looking forward too ) I will NOT be upgrading it if I can avoid it if it means no more flash.

In order to use or view Flash Based video in ICS you need to install a different browser. The ICS browser (chrome) does NOT support Flash so you cannot use it to view anything in Flash.  Dolphin Browser and Skyfire both support Flash and are actually a bit faster and more robust then Chrome. I have Dolphin installed on my Razr and Skyfire installed on my Maxx, and both play Flash based vids with ease.

I'm going to try Dolphin Again. They Changed it to Dolphin only i guess not to long ago they Dropped of the HD they also offer a Mini Version Dolphin mini:  i'm not sure if it's just for The Smart Phones only i'm a summing that's the Case..

This is What i'm running into on this deal with Flash:  i like to check the wind Direction and Speed from time to time and i Go to k.s.n. com our Local weather and i Go to the Pinpoint Weather Network it shows the Local Temp and the Wind speed & Direction of it But with Adobe being Pulled it doesn't Function at all.

Here is the Site i'm referring to

I use the stock ICS browser and have been able to watch streaming video from the Olympics without a problem. I'm not sure if it is Flash or HTML 5 or what, but I liked the stock browser better than Chrome.

Yea it Gets the Job Done i'd be a little bit happier if the Voice search worked better than it is but hopefully the Update that is supposed to be coming will fix it..

[4ktvs]

I got it fixed by swapping my razr for a S3.

P.S Good luck to all of you still on the Razr trying to get flash working.

[B33]

Well with Adobe being Pulled Soon i wonder how Long it will even Last on the SIII..

[Wildman]

Well since it was reported that new devices wont see any Flash love but for the moment devices that flash works on will continue to be supported...  At least until the next big OS update.

[B33]

Well Wildman that's were i was a little Un-sure  when i Look to see if my Maxx with I.C.S is Supported it shows it's not and it states that one's not supported by Adobe could Destabilize if it's Used.. So that's were i was kind of at.. At Downloading and using it.  I'm not too much into Messing up my Devices if the app doesn't work.

Now as for my other Maxx on Gingerbread i think i'll still have a bit of Time before having to Let it Go.. that is i Hope.. b

It's official as of tomorrow. Once ICS comes, and you upgrade to a new device that doesn't have flash you are SOL.

May be wise to backup Flash apk with es file explorer now and hope you can install it on ICS after update.
