When I access several websites such as ESPN, they require flash. When I have tried to download it, the adobe website says my device, platform is not supported. However, the website shows android 3.2 being supported. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

The device already comes with flash installed. You can try downloading an updated version directly from the Android Market on your tablet. You should have Adobe Flash Player 11.
Flash 11 shows in the apps, but it is not working when I access websites. Any suggestions from here?
Thanks,
Roger

Don't mean to be insulting. Try rebooting if you haven't done so. Or maybe uninstall and reinstall. *scratches head* Are you using the stock browser?
I was having the same issue with Flash 11. Websites such as the one linked below report that I need adobe flash 11 to view this content.
Sorry not able to post links b/c of n00b status.
After looking up the app in the settings menu I found that adobe flash had been disabled and was at the bottom of the apps list as a result of being disabled.
I clicked on the uninstall updates option and viola I didnt experience the issue with flash content.
Hope this helps.
Check if flash is enabled in settings and that you are using the default browser that came with your device then check other flash sites to see if they are working it might be ESPN's problem.

Loving my gtablet! Installed vegan and the market and im rocking and rolling with one issue left to solve. So i downloaded and installed the latest version of flash, but in firefox and the stock browser no flash videos will play. They show a link to download flash, which leads me to their site saying the device is not supported. What am i doing wrong here?
Firefox doesnt do flash. I am not sure why the stock browser is not working. What flash did you install and what rom you running? In the settings of the stock browser do you have plugins enabled, off, or on demand?
Info
Flash version is 10.1.120.1
Running VEGAn-Tab v1.0.0b5.1.1
thanks for your help!
Uninstall that 10.1, look around and get the more recent Flash 10.2. You can get it from freeware lovers if you dont have the market set up... Also, not sure about Firefox, but with any of the browsers make sure you're looking at the site in 'Desktop' mode
Got it to work!
Hey it works! I had to fool with the browser settings and install the version of flash recommended and i couldn't be happier! thanks you guys. this is an awesome community.
Can you post the steps you took to resolve this issue? Ie, 1. Uninstalled Flash 10.1, 2. Went to Market, searched for "Flash 10.2", etc. That would be helpful for other people that have this problem (especially what browser setting you had to change).
I know that Flash is bundled with VEGAn 5.1.1, but all of the sites I go to say that it isn't installed (or need higher version than 8 or 7 or whatever).
I went to the market and it doesn't list Flash no matter how I search. Shouldn't 10.2 be listed even though 10.1 is installed?
Thoughts?

I couldn't see Flash 10.2 until I did the market fix.
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Press the 'All' tab
Scroll down and look for 'Market'
Clear Cache, Force Stop
Return back to the list and look for 'Google Services Framework'
Clear Data, Force Stop
Now go to your Market and it should error (that's normal)
Reboot and load Market back up and Flash should be there
I did the Market fix 3 times until I could see it.
But that might not work for everyone. In that case you should look into this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020130
I still cannot see flash videos on sites like espn.com. it just shows a picture instead of the video.
I have done the market fix a number of times and still don't get Flash to show up. Grr...
Maybe I will try a few more times for good measure or try the alternate method mentioned by Hachi2go.
This method worked on the first time when I needed to get the Facebook app.
I was unable to get Flash with this Market fix up.
To frustrate me more, my co-worked just tried this easy fix and Flash just popped up for him. Grr...
I had to go to the other thread and change the device ID in the build.prop file.
Anyone know how to set the browser to only allow flash on demand per instance? (in other words, only run the flash that you click on, leaving the rest disabled)
For example there's a page that embeds three flash video players and you only want to run one... just like firefox's flashblock

In browser go to more=>settings=>enable plugins=> select "on demand"
voila..
Press "thanks" if I helped..
well... yes thank you but no not quite yet...
even with that setting on,
say if I'm on a page with more than one flash in the page (eg, ads and flash video player) when I click on the arrow to load flash, it will load both.
I just want to enable the flash on the one I clicked on.

unfortunately flash is only able to have Flash on automatically or have the page load all flash entities on demand, there is no known way to choose specific Flash instances to load individually as far as im aware
Dang. That makes two things I'd like to fix on my sgs2.
Thanks for the info though.

Hulu working on touchpad cm7, and any other android rom or devices. Working on my archos 101,touchpad, Huawei s7 and vibrant. You must uninstall stock flash player if installed then install Flash player attached here. Also there's a Hulu app attached.
Which archos 101?
Thank you for the post. Does this work on archos 101 Gen 8? Or only on the newer Gen 9?

I too own a Archos 101and yes it does work on Archos 101 with custom rom installed like cm7 or others. But it seems to not play so good in the browser,browser crashes. Browsers I tried are dolphin,xscope,boat browser might work in others. Should use the hulu app attached for better results. Also make sure to change browsers user agent to desktop.
THANKS!!!! Works great on Touchpad but also on my LG Revolution. The app, not so much but works fine in Dolphin HD.
*Just an FYI, on any other device you might have to uninstall/reinstall Netflix.. had to on my LG Revolution anyways, TP was fine
reinstalled flash, didnt work. do i have to install the app too? tried it in dolphin hd.
Worked for me, I just need now to find out how to trick Hulu since I'm not in the US... (Is there another solution than VPN?)
Sine, you could try running through a US proxy. I do the same thing in reverse for Europe, so I can get the online broadcast of Top Gear.

It seems to work (at least on desktop browser), I've used this free US proxy list and this proxy checker to find one to test, I'll try on my TP tonight

Are you using the stock rom or a custom rom? From my experience with the modified flashplayer is it works best on custom roms stock roms not so good or at all. Suggest changing your rom if using stock rom.
Just wondering if there is an update for this? Flash keeps trying to update on my phone and I let it once and lost Hulu so just checking..
Thx.

No there is no update yet for the flashplayer. Uncheck the automatic update option for flash in the market and use rom toolbox app to break market link. In Tom toolbox go to applications then touch the flashplayer until options menu appears scroll down and select break market leak, This will do until update.

FWIW, for those comfortable with hex editing, you can actually fix any version of flash, including the latest, to work with Hulu and Amazon VOD.
Uninstall any old version. Install the latest from the Market.
You need to be rooted (all of us on the Touchpad with the Cyanogen mod should already be rooted anyway) and go to the file /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so (make a backup just in case)
Either get the hex editor by Tuba in the Android market or copy the file to your PC and open it in your favorite hex editor. I use the app because it works and it's just easier without having to transfer files back and forth.
Open it up in the hex editor and find the ASCII value "AND_11" then change it to WIN_11 (note it's case sensitive so it must be all caps).
Make sure the change saves, so you must have r/w privileges in that directory if they aren't already set.
Reboot after you've verified the save took with the updated value.
The AND is for Android and the 11 is the version increment. It's unlikely, but if Adobe ever releases a version 12.* you will then want to look for AND_12.

I've got it rooted of course and I tried to use the kindle version I can get it to install and load but it keeps giving me an error when I try to watch videos. Any help with this would be great.
Good luck man, I've been asking this question for a few weeks now, with no solid replies

Here is what you need to do to get it working:
1) Get root !
follow this guide here (thanks globatron)

2) After you have root access you can follow the guide to get HULU working:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153196
In a nutshell:
a) make sure that you have root, busybox installed and working
b) download and install flash player 11.0.1.152
c) flash hulu-hack zip file from CWM
d) use desktop mode in the browser to watch HULU. I use Dolphin HD with mobile/desktop switcher plug-in.
I also had to install "Script Manager" from the market, navigate to /system/etc/init.d, select S98fixflash and check the "run on boot"

It works great on mine. I had it running fine on Gingerbread and right now on Honeycomb.
Do you get the message that device is unsupported? That would mean that you're not using the hacked version of flash for one reason or another. Once you get Hacked flash zip installed through CWM, try manually copying /data/flash/libflashplayer.so into /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/ using RootExplorer. Overwrite the old file. After that try running Hulu. If it works, but you're loosing Hulu after reboot, make sure that script is running on restart using Script Manager.
Yeah, something's not quite right I will double check tomorrow. Another note, are you running stock root? I wanted to get honeycomb on my tab but the ROM I'm running has been so stable and great.
Hulu on View
On the View, try Flash Video Browser. You can get it from either Android or Amazon markets for $.99. You must have Flash 11 installed.
Edit : No root required.

Hey Guys and respected devs,
I have been using my Nook Tablet 16GB(rooted stock) without a problem since january. I have some games, apps etc and so far i have been perfectly happy with it.
Then recently i was browsing the net using opera and came across a video i wished to download. And until then i had no trouble downloading anything videos, pics,apks etc.... But it came as "download failed" . Since then i have tried various methods ... Using other browsers, default browser, download managers, etc but NONE of them can download the files . They don't even start downloading and say a variant of Download error, unable to download etc .
I have combed google and xda and have come up with nothing even remotely close to solving this problem. Please if anyone has any views, opinions, suggestions they are very welcome.
Btw i can download apps and updates and anything of the sort via any type of market and thats about it.
Regards,
Moxdown
well, the first thing that popped into my head was "unknown sources". do you have it turned "on" or has it been clobbered somehow ? this is most strange because you can download but then you cannot download... . are you blocked OTA ? 9.9.9.9 versus 1.0.0.0 ?
hmm, maybe you just need to use 'rom manager' and fix all permissions.
hth.

unknown sources are for app installation
OTA block simply blocks stuff from B&N (same with the version change)
rom manager and permissions have nothing to do with this
hth is not helpful either
@ OP, are these new websites that you are trying to download from by any chance?

yes, unknown sources is not a good guess. yes, lame. my brain was connecting together... the os cooperates from a known source for goods and does not cooperate from an unknown.
i thought OTA and getting an un-wanted binary update from b&n may have scrambled your os.
i was guess a critical permission got flipped to 'read only' and that was causing troubles. so running a permission fix 'may' help. it helps get rid of force closes...
and then hth stands for 'hope this helps', which was my honest desire. but then @Cubanluke88 is just being a smart a$$ ( once again ) . . . but then he's super smart and maybe has your answer.
.
maybe the best answer is 'taking it back to b&n' and having them reset it.
.
when i was asleep, i thought of another answer. maybe you caught a virus ?

yup im using ota blocker from unknown sources.. and no i haven't caught a virus because i scanned it just a few hours ago just in case ..... Oh? websites like rapidshare, forums etc.... oh and xda of course... still looking through .... i have simply NO IDEA what's wrong...
I don't know if this is possible on the stock OS, but if you can get into manage apps in settings and perhaps clear data on the browsers and try again, that's what I would try next.
