5 years ago, there wasn't HTML5.

Adobe is doing us a favor with getting rid of adobe flash, if it wasn't so resource hungry then it would've kept going. Adobe dropping flash will not effect it either, in fact it'll probably free up resources for them (i.e. ongoing support) . They've already started to get on the HTML5 bandwaggon (see Adobe Edge).

Hot Air Won't Substitute for Flash
I've heard all kinds of baloney about the use of Flash being sooo bad on Android phones. Well without this, the Samsung S3 and the HTC S1 doesn't work for streaming video on some sites. Now, complainers, give me a GOOD alternative. Or is this a plan to cripple Android phones so they will work as bad as an iPhone?

Chill, and go sideload flash. Problem solved. Android is still not crippled.
And well this is the first step of moving over to HTML5

Basically Flash is obsolete with the introduction of HTML5 video just like 32bit Windows programs are obsolete since 64 bit has been around for years. Yet in both cases most sites still use flash and most Windows programs are still only 32bit. I think discontinuing flash support this early was a bad move by Adobe. It was one of the top apps in the Play store and had mostly good reviews. Its just too early to call it dead. Flash was pretty well performing, it allowed 720p youtube videos on my Droid 3 without noticeable lag and 1080p videos on my Touchpad. Since HTML5 has no DRM its not replacing flash anytime soon as its very easy to download an HTML5 video.
If you want flash you can download it from the site in my signature. It runs okay on JB even though its not supported.

Jelly Bean+Flash Player

I've read that Adobe Flash Player will not support Jelly Bean. What does this mean for us? Android going to have their own form of Flash? Honestly, one of the best parts of having Android over iPhones is Flash support.
Flash has serious security flaws and is rapidly being replaced with HTML 5.

Indeed, especially on sites that are good at actively developing mobile versions. Plus, Flash and Android never really seemed to mix in my opinion, especially on Android phones (tablets make more sense for some Flash apps, but still not all). However, it's still around out there, and many users still seem to use it and complain about it when they don't have it.
Of course flash is needed to our phone, so how could we watch porn on our device?

Any good porn site should have a mobile version sure, the mobile version won't always be as good (as is true with any site), but it should get the job done.

We may or may not get Jelly Bean pushed to our phones, but I will most likely be using a Jelly Bean ROM when they are stable.
Ended up ordering a nexus 7. As far as it goes for our phones, i really don't see us getting an official JB update anytime soon. It is taking them forever to get ICS out so I don't see them hurrying to compile a JB update for us.
ill just back it up and use it until it finally dies
Jelly bean is only 4.1. Not 5.0
We may see it...but not for along time

Citation needed
It's hard to determine any actual percentage, but Flash remains dominant in most YouTube-esque sites. It's also about exclusively used on sites that have an image gallery, like an Associated Press news article. You know the type, a slide show with an arrow on each side of the picture... that's all Flash. If you're on some site with a stupid little arcade game... Flash. I know ESPN has a LOT of Flash content, from gamecasts, to all kinds of other interactive content.
Adobe made the decision to stop supporting Android. At least starting from 4.1. I think that's great from a security stand point. Maybe people will finally stop using flash for Web menus and the other half can start navigating sites. It's easy to ignore the iPhone users being android fans but from a business perspective, using flash on your sites, especially mobile sites is just stupid. Or you're ignorant of your Web traffic.

So I know this is probably well known by now, but for those of you who don't stalk phonescoop daily:

Looks like the AOSP source code has been released. Granted, this doesn't mean we're going to see a Jellybean rom tomorrow or anything, but we're one step closer to getting it!

Flash is obsolete, even adobe admitted it as why they quit developing it, it works fine on JB, just that you won't find it in the market place, you have to manually install it but anything you can do on flash html5 does with the same ease.

But HTML5 does not read flash, and there are still a lot of flash sites out there (unfortunately). So I think it is a bit early to delete it from a system.

Any relevant site that has been around since html5 was released should be updated by now, youtube supports it, fb supports it and just about every other major site. If they don't support html5 and prefer flash, you sir better have good anti-virus software, plus using html5 and not flash reduces the number of ads showing up in your browser, also increases security. Adobe didn't make flash support available for JB but if you install the actual app, it works fine.
Pretty sure all the ones complaining about no flash support will be all over JB the min this device gets a taste of it.

Has Verizon or Moto replaced your phone?

I have had many lengthy discussions over the last few weeks with verizon customer support. My intent has been to have them swap my ICS upgraded razr maxx for an non upgraded one. I have not had any luck.
Have you? What tactics/facts supported your needs for the swap? The phone is non functional for my needs now, but verizon wont seem to agree with me.

Don't tell them that you only want a replacement because of ics, you'll never get anywhere duh. Make up an excuse say your phone is constantly freezing and you've already done resets and stuff and you'll have one at your home yomorrow.

People need to realize that with you cannot go back to GB from ICS IF you updated your phone with an ICS version >= .8x. Once you have flashed that, you are forever on ICS. This is due to a new bootloader being put onto the RAZR. There is no going back to GB once you've update to ICS version .8x or greater.
Go to one of those used cell shops, they can do it usually, it's how they fix bricked phones, they usually have the Dev software required to do it

Actually you can go back you just need to root and find the right boot loader, it's how you fix a bricked phone... It's hard to do and finding the right stuff is almost impossible but it can be done

The inability to play embedded flash videos is a huge problem for me. Having the option to lock in 3g was also an important feature for me. The keyboard on gingerbread worked better with my thumbs, but it is not cause to return to gb. The other 2 reasons, are.

Having to use a widget to switch to 3g after every reboot with only 3 clicks is far from locking onto a particular data connection.
By the sounds of it you purchased your phone with the ics upgrade on it (being you've never used the gingerbread keyboard), so you really wouldn't understand how wonderful this phone use to be.

First, I've owned the phone since it was released.
Second, If clicking a widget and finding a better alternative to the mediocre stock keyboard is too much trouble to you, then I realize trying to help you is fruitless. Good luck in your quest to get Verizon to give you a new phone because you want the Gingerbread keyboard back, can't figure out how to get Flash working, and don't want to use a widget to disable 4G.

First: You expect me to believe you have no experience with the RAZR GB keyboard if you've owned it since its release?
Second: Are you truly claiming that you have the ability to stream embedded flash videos, off of websites, with your DROID RAZR on the stock Verizon ICS release? If so, you have one unique RAZR, as you'd be the only one with the ability to do so.. Adobe Flash streams do not work on our phone with the update... visit the Google Play store and read the RAZR comments on Adobe... It's broken.
Third: If you are the type of consumer that is comfortable with needing to adapt and use alternative methods to use your purchased products as they are intended and advertised, then you are of a unique breed.
I appreciate and expect merchandise to operate as advertised.. I like the items I purchase to remain fully functional.
I haven't even mentioned the issues with the battery, but I'm sure you'd disagree there is anything wrong with cutting down the life of a battery by 40%.. Got an app for that?
Now you battery doesn't work either. ....Keep going. You're almost up to a legitimate reason for a new phone.

Did I say it didn't work? Or did I say it wasn't working as it was before the update?
He probably likes alternative keyboards so wouldn't touch stock, i hate swipe and like the stock ics keyboard.
My friend uses better kb or w/e, there are a few ppl that claim to have flash working on some websites.
And on stock ics my phone chewed through battery.
So root it and use a different cpu governor which will fix it. Custom roms will eventually (they might already) have a 3/4g toggle.
Motorola's ics updates are mostly fine, you should have read the problems ppl were having.
So you can't complain
Nothing isn't perfect, and i wouldn't expect stock to be as good as this, if flash worked fine, this would be one of the few phones i'd recommend to anyone AND it will not require they come see me to "set there phone up"

Ok, sounds like the traditional issues people have with Google TV. I already ordered the Asus Cube instead of the VIZIO Co-Star (or the expensive Sony Internet Player). My only hope is that I'm able to install Tunnelbear from the play store, or install the APK from dropbox or an external source in order to get US content, if not, I'll find a use for it.

i have had the logitech revue for close to a year, but the repeated app crashes (netflix is the worst) are so annoying. the sluggishness of the entire device is also very annoying. why they stuck so little memory and such a poor processor into it is beyond me.
anyway, i'd really appreciate if you could share your experiences withe asus cube. thank you so much.

Adobe Flash on s4

I'm wondering what's the word on Flash for the s4? I've read quite a few threads filled with insight about any given 3rd party app will work, but none of them are working; for me anyway. I've tried, BOAT Browswer, Dolphin, Skyfire, Stock, and Firefox for Android, and although BOAT Browser showed hope, none of them worked flawlessly.
From what I understand, the s4 wasn't made to handle flash in any aspect which is why installing the apk doesn't fix the situation for stock browsers like it has in the past, especially for my s3.
I'm wondering has anyone come up wtih a fix for this? Or will there even be a fix for this? I may consider returning this and getting the HTC One if there isn't at least a plausible fix on the horizon.

Here is The flashplayer apk. (https://www.dropbox.com/s/4rvqr7dlm8b71z0/install_flash_player_ics.apk)
The .apk is readily available through Adobe's website, that's not the issue. My guess is that the s4 doesn't really know how to handle the Flash since it was built in expectation to not have to deal with flash in the first place. Which means someone would have to come along with a Rom with Flash abilities cooked in already. I'm not sure, but I imagine that won't be too difficult to do.
Oh, and apparently none of my more favorite...let's say 'extracurricular' websites are using HTML5 which renders them useless on my s4 so far.

Which means someone would have to come along with a Rom with Flash abilities cooked in already. I'm not sure, but I imagine that won't be too difficult to do.
Oh, and apparently none of my more favorite...let's say 'extracurricular' websites are using HTML5 which renders them useless on my s4 so far.

How about we pull the browser apk from galaxy s3 and try to run it on s4. Flash worked on the s3 browser can't hurt to try

Flash doesn't work fine. Html5 is not the same as flash. The OP already explained that the apk won't work....
Go to newgrounds.com and try to run flash movies...you will see yourselves it doesn't work.

OP was not referring to galaxy s3 browser apk he was referring to flash player apk. I will try to run it see if I can get it to work.

First of all, sincere apologies for posting this in the wrong section.
I've read that people have successfully been able to pull the s3 browser apk and port it over to the s4 mildly successfully. I actually have an s3 but I'm not confident enough in my android/linux skills to be a pioneer in this. Maybe I will put some time into it and see since I have a day off today.
So I used Root Explorer to get the Browser apk from my s3 and tried to install it to my s4...needless to say it didn't work. I even tried to put the s3 browser in the system files by replacing the s4's default browser. Nothing...maybe I did it wrong?
---Sorry for the double post...I could've swore I saw somebody else as the last poster. Sorry!
Use the opera it may work
