I have a GSM Razr and for some reason whenever I open webpages that requires Flash player, it says that my device does not support flash player. Checked my settings and my plug-is are always enabled. I am running the most recent Adobe Flash Player 11. Any ideas??? Thanks!

witch android are you running?
2.3.5 and 2.3.6 should provide flash, but ics alpha isn't able to show it (maybe only now)
I'm running 2.3.5 so it should be good. Any suggestions?

yeah, this should normally work...
had you tried to de- and reinstall the flash player update? maybe this went wrong? did this happen already before updating to flash 11?

I did try to uninstall the flash player but I was only able to uninstall the update and not flash player itself. With the update uninstalled, videos still didn't play. My phone is only a few days old and received the update right away so I wasn't able to test it pre-update. Is there a way to uninstall flash player completely?

yes, there is a way but only if you are willing to root your phone.
step by step:
root your razr with ZergRush
install Titanium Backup root
open Titanium Backup
switch to "backup / restore"
choose "Adobe Flash Player"
be SURE you made a backup of the app with Titanium
uninstall the app
install Flash Player from the market
try if it's working
if it's not working restore the backup using Titanium
disclaimer: i won't be responsible for any damge you do to your phone while doing this

Ack!! I was hoping i could avoid rooting my phone. Its weird that it doesn't work though, that alone should be resolved without having to resort to rooting. Other options??

don't know exactly if there are other options, but the android installed on RAZR prevents you from uninstalling some 'important' apps... so there should be no other way to uninstall flash player, because rooting changes your permissons
PS: other threads tells the same (made little research for you ) ... seems you have to root your phone to remove stock flash player...
EDIT: you have to root for removing stock apps because it's sometimes a bit 'dangerous' could happen you remove some very important ****
Have you tried using different browsers? I wouldn't leap straight to removing system apps without troubleshooting first.

Thanks to onslaught's suggestion, I got my flash to work with the Dolphin Browser HD.....for a week. Just yesterday, Dolphin updated and now its back to being unsupported again!!
What could it be? Real strange though.
Have you tried factory reset.

Try to wipe cache and data in setting/application/manage app/system app/flash player there & wipe.Hope will solve the problem.
I received a notification for an OS update to 2.3.6 and after the update, my flash was working again. Weird. Next time it stops working I'll try to wipe cache and data. Thanks.

As the previous poster said, you can just download another browser app from the market. Your phone does not depend on the browser app for a data connection. If for some reason you can't do that:
Check the I9k forums and find a CWM flashable, stock ROM. Download it, use 7zip or winrar (or any other windows archive program- google search 7zip, its free to download) and open the ROM file. Go to: system/app. Find browser.apk and extract it to your desktop. Use adb to install it: adb push /system/app/browser.apk and you should be all set.
thanks for that did kinda help...is there anyway i can just remove everything on the phone and re install everything....kinda like re-booting with all the preloaded samsung apps...regardless if i deleted some or not?

No, not really. You would need to reflash the stock system image. Factory resets just wipe user settings, app data, and other stuff like that. It won't restore anything. If you want to do a reinstall, look into using Odin to flash back to stock. Just BE CAREFUL. Odin can brick you if you don't know what you're doing. Better off following the steps I outlined, or installing CWM and flashing a stock ROM. Again, the safest way to do what you want is what I previously posted.
if i updated through kies not a month or 2 ago and im using an australian SGS GT I9K 16BG with optus what would i be running (eg...gingerbread, Eclair, Kernal, Froyo)?
just get an market apk file n install

Tried to go to my apps in the Market and keep getting this crap!!!
I get that after a fresh wipe and ROM install. I think it's a matter of Market talking to the phone and reading what apps you do and do not have currently installed.

OK well first relax. Issues like this are common when flashing custom roms. Your best bet is to do a full wipe and then reflash the rom. Also don't restore any system data at all as this can cause issues. Only user apps and data
Reboot! Always helps!
Same here factory reset worked

That happened to me once. I just rebooted and fell asleep. When I woke up it was fine
Guys I'm Trying everything!! I Reflashed a Rom and it was Working... Then All of a sudden it said Android market process Force closed, then I couldn't get to my apps again. I just reflashed for a Second time and its still Not working...
Also during the Time when i got it working, all the apps I already purchased were asking for me to buy them again! WTF?
Anyone have any other suggestions?
I thought about contacting Google, or whoever the Hell could Restore my user information!

Hi, I know this problem. When you flash a new rom and afterwards apps were installed with a backup tool (e. g. titanium bu) and not with google market directly this error can occur.
When there is one app which was removed from market the error in your screenshot is shown. In my case it was the old version of "cut the rope". To solve this problem it is necessary to remove this link to the market or deinstallation of this app.
As long as there is a mismatch in the app-market-assignment it is also possible that you get the message that apps were not bought.
It is possible to un-link apps using the "rom toolbox pro". As far as I know it is not possible with the free edition.
I would make a nan backup and try to uninstall all apps directly in the market (on your PC not on your cell phone). Afterwards it should be possible to use the market on your cellphone. When something fails you can restore your backup.
Update: when you know which app is the source for your error --> use ur backup again and uninstall just the known erroneous app.
Its a lot of work

Hey Thanxx Alot man!! It Worked... Tried everything before your advice! Your the Man! Lol...
I purchased a Razr Maxx with the intention of keeping Gingerbread on the device. This morning I woke up to a reminder to install the update.
I've been searching on google for a method specifically for this model phone to ensure it doesn't happen again, but haven't had much luck.
I am aware wiping the cache will delete the update files, but is there a way to prevent them from even being checked/downloaded??
Appreciate the help.

Thank you for your reply. I thought I remembered something about otacerts.zip, but the only info I can find leads to HTC phones having this app/process.
I will freeze the updater and hope for the best!
Using titanium to freeze the updater works perfectly. You need be rooted of course.

Hi all.
I was uninstalling unnecessary applications from my phone yesterday using root file delete and it seems I deleted something wrong so now my TwLauncher keeps crashing.
I downloaded another Launcher (which is not a very nice interface) temporarly because I was told that clearing cache from TwLauncher in settings would fix the problem but it did not. TwLauncher still crashing.
I re-installed TwLauncher from a file I found in another posts again it crashed, and tried installing TwLauncher 4.5, after istallation it also keeps crashing!!!
Please help I need TwLauncher to be good again and not crash coz other Launchers suck.
Factory reset. If that doesn't work, re-flash the rom you're currently running.

You should make backup before you start deleting apps. Never would you get into this situation.

Best post I've seen here this week. Wise words indeed. These phones are essentially mini PC's nowadays, fail to backup regularly at your peril (people who don't backup regularly always seem to be the people who really need them/could have done with one).
Is there any way of doing that without installing a ROM again or doing factory reset???
Even when I install a new TwLauncher 4.5 it still crashes..
any tips?

*Sigh* I think you're missing a trick here, you may lose your files/messages but the point is, if you also make a BACKUP of those, it doesn't matter if you do or don't.

for messages u can use 'SMS backup pro' app, and for apps u can use 'Mybackup' or 'Titanium backup' apps (which require root permission though)

1. U can flash complete ROM using Odin and wipe data & dalvik from cwm. (u will loose messages & applications, but it'll work fine after that)
2. Never Uninstall/Install anything unless u are very sure about that. Uninstalling required apps can lead to this.

Do offline flashing of KDZ of same Rom you have. Everything will be restored as it is, including data. No need to be rooted for that. Or you can root and flash with lelus method.
