So i have never gotten flash to work on my NC. I am running phiremod 6.1, and have tried Miren browser, stock, and Opera. None of them will display flashing animation or work with many of the restaurant webpages (many use flash based menus).
Reinstalling, changing settings, etc has not changed anything that I can discern.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there a remedy?
also, a basic website to test it would be helpful in determining if it is the webpage's fault, or something wrong with my NC.
Embarrassing when I give my GF my tablet, and it fails in front of all her friends
Thanks in advanced!!

A good test website to go test out, is www.cnn.com; have you tried using skyfire or dolphin HD? Skyfire is pretty quick when it loada flash based web pages.

Have you tried all the opera options? Opera Mobile has worked for me for awhile on the cm7 builds. If you have tried it, don't know what to say.
Would just like to update:
Got it working by uninstalling flash + all extra browsers.
Installed flash first, then opera but it still wouldn't work. Repeated the process with a cache/dalvik wipe but still no worky
Finally, I installed skyfire to test it and viola! Opera now has working flash!
No idea what it did but I have since uninstalled skyfire and used the NC quite a bit and it is still working flawlessly. Thanks for the help guys (and I hope this helps someone else out as well)!
Struggled with this for like a month now LOL

Here is the NETFLIX apk. I tried it and I got stuck in the now loading screen. Maybe you'll have better luck. Let me know how it goes...
Using Preludedrew's Stock ROM and Dread 7us' Honeycomb Theme with BC's 1.5 Kernel...(max 1.267 min 768 ondemand)
place it on your SD card and use a file manager to download the apk.
*EDIT* here is the latest build (1.3) works well on CM7.
Lol I downloaded and was hoping not to have to pay for it..like just to watch their online crap movies but eh I'm not signing up for it cause I d/l movies :\ but install went well

Yeah, it won't stream video yet. Some other threads are saying that the app is checking for hardware version and/or DRM rights and failing when the phones don't pass. Seems there's a thread for this in every phone's forum and they're all having the same results. I'm betting that our talented community will figure it out though

Anyone have success yet with the Netflix apk file for the HTC EVO Shift 4G streaming media?
My boyfriend's EVO has it up and running, but my EVO Shift still won't stream anything.
This is an old build. A current one is available somewhere in the forums. Go download that one...
Try and do a search.

Well here is the latest NETFLIX APP (1.3) which I'm sure is available everywhere. Figured to skip the searching and post it. Tried it on my SPEEDY and works pretty well. No need for patches, just install straight up.
I am running CM7 nightly135, with Pershoot's V1 Kernel (245/1.6 smartass)
Haven't tried it with the latest Sense Roms but I'm sure it's no problem.

Just dl'ed v1.3 from the link above and installed via adb push. App loads up fine and logs in perfectly well. All features seem intact until I try to view a video. Phone slides into Landscape mode, Netflix looks like it is buffering, then a small window pops up saying that it is having trouble connecting to the netflix site. Same result on every movie. Can't even get audio. Otherwise, the app works great. Seems to me that Netflix is a step ahead here.
Using Sprint's newest 2.3.3 temp-rooted, btw.
Juts tried my netflix app, I am using strapped rom and the app comes with the Rom, and it worked fine.

Uninstalled, reinstalled, wiped cache, wiped davlik cache, even wiped my ass... app still behaves the same, I can login, but when I try to watch anything it just loops back to the menu. I'm gonna try some backups and test w. And w.o kernals and on different roms.

I can verify it works on cm7, shift deck, & cyclonic roms. Haven't had problems with any kernels specific to netflix.
Might be worth an ruu back to stock, clear out any accrued crud that the normal wipes doesn't cure. I have had to do that once or twice for various issues.
Good luck.

No problem here downloading the rom using megaupload or any other
file sharing site using my phone.
There is a folder on the root directory of the internal sdcard called
".downloadTemp" thats where the file gets downloaded to.
The default browser works best for me not only in downloads but in general.
I am using gtg's unNamed v1.0.3 rom right now.
I have downloaded many files from Internet since getting this new phone.
Good luck!

Sometimes the stock browser can be flakey when it comes to downloads. You can try clearing cache and user data, and anything else to reset the browser and that might fix it for you.
But the easiest fix is to just use a different browser, dolphin its the one I use.
Not that the stock browser is not a good one, but I could never get it to consistently download everything either. It would seem like I would toy with it for days to get it to work, then a day later it would be picky about what file types it would download again.
And last little note if your interested in this stuff, it seems the dolphin browser is the fastest browser at rendering java script we have available on Android (although the speed is not way better, it is a little better)

Don't use the default browser, download using opera always works. Look fire opera in market. It's a wonderful substitute for the stock browser with better interface as well.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I've used a few browsers beginning back in January and I have to agree that Opera is by far my favorite. I've used Miren, Dolphin, xScope and I think a few others and have found Opera to be the best for what I do. I don't need all of the customization options that some of the browsers provide and Opera loads quickly and easily; as well as allowing me to download the files I want to download.
If you want to download using the stock browser go to the market and download a small app called, download all files. Once installed, it allows the stock browser to save any file. Works great for me

I had some issues earlier today where Megaupload wouldn't let me download the complete file. Even to my desktop. It kept getting stuck between 80 and 90%. I had to give it a couple of hours then it worked. You may try to download a download manager from the Market as well.
stock browser seems flaky to me. usually it works, but every now and then it wont let me dl a program/app/file. like others have suggested maybe try another browser. sometimes if i restart the phone i can grab the file that failed the 1st time
Just like the title says, but everytime I load a flash site, it crashes and goes right to my home screen. Can someone else try it out to verify its not just me??
Confirmed, same here.

Agreed, ics browser does work great, I guess I just got used to opera on cm7 and was looking forward to trying it again. I've noticed on some sites that opera does a better job of formatting the page. Guess I'll have wait til opera comes with another fix......

That's why I have Dolphin, Opera and ics browser + installed. I find that each one does something best.
What version are you on, they just put out an update to version 12 and one of the fixes in the changelog is "Added Flash support on Android 4.0.3", or are you already talking about version 12?
Yes, already talking about V12.
But it seems not to be a Touchpad specific issue. I just tested on my HTC Desire and had the same behavior there. When activating the Flash video, Opera immediately crashes.

Same here.. Back to 11.5.3... Even though flash does not work, it is way faster than 12 (or any other browser I've used).
The new Dolphin HD is a lot faster than the stock browser and closer to Opera Mobile 11.5.3, but Flash won't go full screen for me (it just shows a white screen) but otherwise Flash seems to work.
That's weird. I've been using Opera on my Touchpad (CM7 & CM9), my old Droid Incredible (Froyo & GB), my Transformer (HC & ICS), and my fiance's Triumph. Never had a single issue with flash.

I stand corrected. I hadn't tried it since I last flashed. Works fine on both my Transformer and Rezound (both on ICS). Touchpad resulted in instant closure of the browser. Odd. It's clearly not an ICS issue, it must be either a CM9 issue or a Touchpad driver issue.
Out of curiosity, what ROM/Kernel is everyone running? This was on CherryKang with Bricked Kernel (not the new version, my Frankenstein version lol)

That's the mobile YouTube site on opera in the first screenshot, and the youtube app on the other 2 screenshots. The mobile version doesn't use the adobe flash plugin, which appears t be the issue. Can you change your UA agent in opera settings to desktop and see if the desktop version of YouTube works? I'm sure it'll crash like the rest of us.....
Is anyone having any luck running the Chrome browser beta?
I'm on Joker's CM9 (0.5.0.1) and have previously been on version 3 and 4 builds of CM9 but I get nothing but crashes with Chrome. It loads, and I can usually navigate to a page, but as soon as I click a link or button, it either freezes and exits.
I saw there was a Chrome and CM9-specific thread that suggested making a change to the ro.build.id parameter, but I tried that and there was really no change.
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1603725)

Thanks for the feedback, guys.
It just seemed weird to me that I was having so little success with Chrome. After all, Android is Google's OS and I've never had problems with Google sites or apps running on Windows platforms. Likewise, I have very few problems running the Dolphin HD browser on CM9, though I do have it set up for forced portrait mode as it will lock up if it goes to landscape (I understand this to be a known CM9 issue).
Anyway, it's good to know that it's not user error on my part with Chrome. Thanks.
works in my phone only thing when i try to use tabs it crashes.
has anyone looked into why chrome force closes when we try to open up tabs? I would think this would be something worth fixing, seeing as chrome is easily the best browser on android.

He is right. Opera is in the same boat. I use ics browser+ on 4.0 and above.
Hello everyone, I am a fairly new XDA user and have been on topics for my Galaxy S2. I also happen to own a Transformer Prime TF201. I have to admit, I love everything about the tablet aside from its size. Not so portable but, great aside from the portability.
Since there are little to no tablet optimized apps on Android I end up using the browser on the prime more than anything. Occasionally I will run into a problem where a page will load completely blank white. Usually, when this occurs, I just clear the cache and things get fixed. But, a few days ago, even after clearing the cache, the pages will load completely blank white. I have Chrome on my prime so I can use that at the moment but, it is very unstable compared to the standard browser that comes with the prime. Does anyone know of a fix to this white page loading problem?
Sorry if this has already been mentioned or fixed before. I did a search and didn't find anything on the topic so, I figured that a new topic might be necessary.

I would say just ditch the built in browser. I use two browsers: 1. Chrome as my primary and 2. Dolphin if I come across something where I really need flash. JB does away with the old Browser app and replaces it with Chrome anyway. So why not get it and get used to using it now rather than try to get along with the old browser which is going away anyway.

There is just something about Chrome on the tablets and phones that just don't do it for me. The PC version is fantastic, but, the android version is just bad I think. I have it lock up all of the time. I guess I'll have to use it for the time being I guess.
