Is flash player good for a 3g droid, might there be a better app

is flash player good for a3g droid, or might there be a better app to choose

Hello mario831,
As most of us may already know, Flash is the most popular format to use on the web. The Motorola Droid 3 is a great device that does support Flash. There are several benefits of having Flash on your device. For example, streaming embedded videos on websites like www.cnn.com and www.forbes.com are super convenient while on the go. Also, Flash allows all of the advertisements on websites to show properly. Some common websites that come to mind are www.msn.com and www.phonearena.com.
In my opinion, I am pro-Flash. It's an excellent addition to the Droid 3 and it brings the user closer to a seamless web browsing experience. Although there are other options available in the App Market, Flash Player and other Adobe products have been known to have the least amount of maintenance and work extremely well across multiple browser and operating system. Even though this is an opinionated topic, hopefully you will find some value in my opinion by using Flash on your Droid 3. If you decide against it then please reply to this message as I am eager to hear about what alternative that you decided to use.
Thank you...

    Your best course of action is to email the web sites that use Flash and request that they support iOS. If you also mention that there are now well over 200 million iOS users worldwide that can't use the web site it might get their attention. A colleague of mine has been bent out of shape over the Flash issue since day one but he has finally started to contact web sites and request they support iOS. He has gotten several "we're working on it" responses so far. If all iOS users started doing this it would wouldn't be long before the issue would disappear. Strength in numbers and all that.

  • I have Adobe Flash Player Plugin for Firefox, but I'm still missing Flash Player?

    So I have installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player Plugin for Firefox, and I'm able to watch youtube videos on my browser and other things that require flash player, but I have a disc that i got along with my Samsung monitor, and when I put it in my computer, it says that I do not infact have flash player. Also, when I try playing a game, DawnGate, theres a black box where a video should be, and it says that i do not have flash player, and it is required to watch these videos. I tried uninstalling, and I was unable to watch youtube, and when i reinstalled, I was able to watch youtube again, but that did not fix my problem. Is there something I'm missing? I look forward to hearing from someone soon.

    Odds are it's looking for the IE plugin: (A lot of software just assumes ALL Windows users are "slaves to Microsoft" and only have IE installed.)
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    or the standalone Player:

  • Flash player worked for months but now I have audio but no video / Windows 8 / Help

    Flash player worked for months.  But today suddenly the video part stopped working.  So I have audio and a blank screen.  This is across all applications: youtube, live streaming, etc.

    To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
    Operating system
    Browser
    Flash Player version - http://adobe.ly/wNzNAu
    Web Page URL
    Steps to reproduce
    When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details.  Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
    Windows - http://adobe.ly/KShBWi
    Mac - http://adobe.ly/16Odlzb
    Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player.  I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform.  If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing.  You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.

  • Flash Player 8 for PPC

    Why isn't there a Macromedia Flash Player version 8
    compatible for the PPC? YouTube use version 8 for it's FLV content
    and my Audivox 6700 is plenty fast enough to play the video and my
    network is plenty fast enough to stream the content. Now I see ads
    for the iPhone showing YouTube playing on that little media darling
    and I am wondering now whether Adobe is not releasing a player
    compatible with YouTube on purpose. It's been over a year now there
    is no excuse for this delay.

    > Hi, Have been using flash player 7 on my ppc but the
    video quality is
    > really
    > bad as it does not use the ON2VP6 codec. Also one cant
    see youtube coz it
    > requires flash player 8. When is the Flash player 8 for
    ppc releasing.
    I think Adobe has moved away from Flash Player versions for
    Pocket PC, and
    is instead concentrating on Flash Lite for PocketPC. So I
    don't expect to
    ever see Flash Player 8 for PocketPC. Look instead for Flash
    Lite updates,
    applicable to later versions of PocketPC OS - maybe WM 5 and
    6 or later, at
    a guess.

  • Install Flash Player 9 for OSX

    I’ve installed Flash Player 9 for OSX and it
    doesn’t seem to work. I’m not experiencing anything
    similar to previous threads. I don’t get any errors and the
    installation seems to go fine but when I return to any site that
    requires Flash Player 9 it tells me that I need to install the
    latest version, which I’ve done. I’ve even uninstalled
    and then reinstalled with the same result. Did I miss something
    here?

    I have been having the same problem since installing Leopard.
    I have tried suggestions from others:
    there are no browsers running when I install Flash Player
    I have repaired permissions (both before and after
    installing)
    I have uninstalled before reinstalling
    None of these work. I am unable to view Flash content in
    Safari, Firefox or Internet Explorer. I am using a G5 Mac desktop
    and have had no previous problems with the Flash player on this
    machine.

  • Error when trying to download Flash Player Update for Firefox

    Hello,
    I am having a issue while trying to download 11,5,502,135 for Firefox on the destop.. keep getting the errror message (have the same issue while trying to use IE) .. I currently have version 1,5,502,110 on the desktop and works just fine.. been having this issue for some time trying to download 135..have tried everything that Adobe suggested but to no avail... I do have 11,5,502,135 downloaded on the laptop, same company, same system, same browser, same setup...the only difference the desktop has Norton, the laptop has AVG... but Norton don't seem to have a issue with the update...
    Any suggestions?...
    Larry Woller

    Hello,
    I was getting a script error..I had been to the website that you had posted and tried several suggestions.. this time I went to the site and used the " Flash Player Plugin (For all other browsers)" and for the first time I got a popup saying something to the effect "will finish installation when Mozilla closes).. in the past I would leave the website to access the Flash player download and the Firefox download window open and apparently the player installer and Firefox were  having a conflict.. I closed Firefox and the download window and the download continued and was successful.. will have to add that to my notes, make sure Mozilla is closed once I get the Save window before downloading Flasy Player...
    Thanks for your prompt reply and help...

  • Is there an archive page for Flash Player plugins for PORTABLE versions of web browsers?

    Is there an archive page for downloads of Flash Player plugin installers for the PORTABLE versions of web browsers like Firefox ESR?
    One of my web browsers is Firefox ESR 10.0.7 and it is a PORTABLE version of Firefox that apparently needs a different Flash Player plugin than the normal Flash Player plugin that regular versions of most web browsers require.
    I do not want to install the most recent Flash Player plugin PORTABLE version because I've read about problems with it and that's the only version that this Firefox ESR will give me the option to download and install when I try to install the needed Flash Player plugin through the browser.
    I already know about the normal Adobe Flash Player plugin archive page, linked below, but that does not have the Flash Player plugins for PORTABLE web browsers.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
    I also looked on OldApps.com and I couldn't find anything there.
    Where can I download an older version, possibly one of the 11.2 Flash Player plugins from around April 2012, that will work with this PORTABLE version Firefox ESR?
    I tried this question on the Mozilla Firefox help forum but no one could answer it.
    Thanks for any help,
    digiday

    Hi Pat,
    Thanks again for your reply. Your solutions seemed like they might work, especially since you were able to tell me where the Windows system Flash Player plugin files are located.
    And for a minute or two, I thought it was working.  In my first tests in the PORTABLE Firefox browser I'm testing with, it was actually playing some YouTube videos, but then I found that not all YouTube videos apparently rely on Flash to play... apparently some do and some do not, and I found that most of them do require Flash to play.  I had tested with some of my own videos that I uploaded to YouTube in the past in my first tests today and they played just fine, but then I started testing with some other Flash YouTube videos and they would not play and I got both the yellow bar at the top of my window telling me to download and install Flash as well as the red banner across the video player that told me I needed to install Flash.
    Let me also make it clear that I'm testing this on other sites with Flash videos besides YouTube, and webpages that have relatively simple animated Flash graphics, and those alternate tests are showing that the Flash Player plugin for this PORTABLE Firefox still will not work either.
    So to spite everything, I tried actually downloading and installing the newest Flash Player plugin, 11.4 something, (which I was trying to avoid) through the browser, and that only proceeded to overwrite my Windows system Flash Player plugin and it DID NOT place any Flash Player plugin files in the PORTABLE Firefox plugins folder.
    I had pasted in the files you recommended in to the PORTABLE Firefox plugins folder, and I actaully included ALL the files from that Windows system Flash plugin folder for this test, but unfortunately that didn't work, and even after I tried changing the name of that one file, it still didn't work.
    And I am closing and re-opening the browser in between each of these steps in my test.
    So here, below, I'm including an email letter that I've now written to a Tor Browser support email address where I had been corresoponding previously.  The "Tor-Firefox" web browser is the PORTABLE Firefox ESR web browser that I've been referring to.  This is what I wrote, which pretty much sums up everything I've tried and been unsuccessful with so far...
    Hello Tor Browser help staff,
    I've now tried everything and I cannot get ANY Flash content to play in this Tor-Firefox ESR web browser, even though I've tried installing the Flash player plugin that this browser asks for when I'm on a YouTube page (and even though this computer already had a current Flash Player plugin installed previously).
    Let me make it clear that privacy is not important to me right  now during this quest to make the Flash Player plugin work with this Tor browser... I can reset any settings for maximum privacy later when I go back to that purpose for using Tor... right now, I'm just trying to make the Tor browser play Flash content.
    So even though I've UNCHECKED the Torbutton>Preferences>Security  Settings>Disable plugin during Tor usage box, and I installed a new Flash player plugin THROUGH this browser, and I even set it to allow all scripts because I thought maybe that was complicating things, IT STILL WILL NOT PLAY FLASH CONTENT OF ANY TYPE.
    Now, this, explained below, could be part of the problem that I'd like to ask for your help or SOMEONE's help with there in your department...
    If I go to the Tor Browser folder on my hard drive at C:>Tor  Browser>FirefoxPortable>Data>plugins there are NO Flash plugin files that show up in that folder even after I install a new Flash Player plugin THROUGH this browser... I believe that is why it will not play Flash content. 
    All it does when I install a Flash Player plugin through this Tor browser is to overwrite my Windows 7 system Flash Player plugin, but it does not actually place any Flash Player plugin files in the C:>Tor Browser>FirefoxPortable>Data>plugins folder, so that's why this PORTABLE version of the Firefox ESR browser will not play any Flash content... and it doesn't work from the Windows system Flash Player plugin the way that my normal Firefox (NON-TOR) web browser does.  My other Firefox web browser sees the the Windows system Flash Player plugin just fine and it does play Flash content correctly.
    There is, however, one text file that comes stock inside the Tor browser plugins folder and when it is opened it says, "Place Firefox plugins in this directory (Flash, Shockwave, etc)".
    So with some advice from someone on the Adobe help forum, I tried copying the Flash Player plugin files from the Windows system folder at C:>Windows>System32>Macromed>Flash in to the Tor browser plugins folder at C:>Tor  Browser>FirefoxPortable>Data>plugins, and that still didn't work. 
    Note that I am closing and re-opening the Tor browser between each of these tests.
    So I then followed some further advice from the expert on the Adobe help forum and I changed the name of the main Flash Player plugin file that I had copied and pasted in to the Tor browser plugins folder from "NPSWF32_11_4_402_278.dll" to "NPSWF32.dll", and that still did not work... note that I left all the other files that I copied and pasted from the Windows system Flash plugins folder with the same name they originally had... I tried only changing that one Flash plugin file name, as instructed by the expert on the Adobe help forum.
    I also tried posting a question about this on the Mozilla Firefox forum, but no one there is able to answer this question.
    What the problem seems to be is that when this Tor-Firefox ESR 10.0.7 browser installs a Flash Player plugin, it just installs it to the Windows system folder (the same way that the normal (non-Tor) Firefox browser does) and  NOT  into the Tor-Firefox plugins folder C:>Tor  Browser>FirefoxPortable>Data>plugins, as would be needed for it to be able to play Flash content.
    No matter what I do, whenever I try to view a YouTube video or any Flash video in this browser, or any Flash graphic content at all, I get the yellow bar at the top of the page that says "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page - Install Missing Plugins" and there is a banner displayed where the Flash content is supposed to be that says, "The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback - Get the latest Flash Player".
    And as I explained at the top of this email, I have already installed and re-installed the Flash Player plugin on this computer multiple times, including doing it directly through this Tor-Firefox ESR browser itself.
    So can ANYONE there tell me how to get the correct Flash Player plugin files in to the Tor-Firefox browser plugins folder at C:>Tor  Browser>FirefoxPortable>Data>plugins, and where do I get those files?  Everything I've tried, which is pretty extensive, has not worked, and it seems that someone there should know about this.
    Thanks for your help.

    By "running fine", flashplayer 10.1 32-bit linux library may require some "massaging" to actually get it working.
    E.G. on Debian Lenny 64-bit using 32-bit firefox 3.6.8 it requires at least these Lenny 32-bit emulation packages:
        ia32-libs
        ia32-libs-gtk
    (this has been pretty well established for a while)
    *Plus* you'lll have to grab the following libraries from a 32-bit Lenny system:
    :/usr/local/firefox-3.6.8_i386$ ls -l *curl* *idn*
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     19 2010-06-24 14:57 libcurl-gnutls.so.3 -> libcurl-gnutls.so.4
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     23 2010-06-24 14:57 libcurl-gnutls.so.4 -> libcurl-gnutls.so.4.1.0
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 233992 2009-08-17 19:41 libcurl-gnutls.so.4.1.0
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     12 2010-06-07 10:22 libcurl.so.3 -> libcurl.so.4
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     16 2010-06-07 10:22 libcurl.so.4 -> libcurl.so.4.1.0
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 271524 2010-03-26 23:27 libcurl.so.4.1.0
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root    801 2008-06-06 21:29 libidn.la
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     17 2010-02-26 07:01 libidn.so.11 -> libidn.so.11.5.37
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 200280 2008-06-06 21:29 libidn.so.11.5.37
    and plop them in the top level firefox install directory to get it working.  Otherwise you only see messages like
        "Adobe Flash Player error: could not load cURL library"
    (Not terribly helpful)
    This is in contrast to the 10.0 beta 64-bit flashplayer lib that worked fabulously (i had no issues with it ever, which can't be said of the 32-bit one).
    I wonder just how difficult it would have been to fix it for the latest exploits, as they'd done for the 10.x beta 64-bit linux flashplayer previously for security issues?
    This failure by the industry to fully support 64-bit applications is getting pretty pathetic by this point.

  • Flash player 10 for mobile

    I read that there was going to be a flash player 10 for
    mobile out soon has anyone heard when?

    It seems any post or forum that Adobe doesn't like gets "frozen" out when discussing Flash for the Palm Pre.  The missing Palm Pre Flash and the "shift of blame" by Adobe to Palm has been a common theme  (see http://forums.adobe.com/message/2748422#2748422 as an example) is becoming tiresome.
    Yet if you ask Palm they tell you its nothing to do with them, why would it be?  That is such a silly dead-end statement that I suspect Adobe are far to embarrassed by what's actually happened.  If they want to prove me wrong then how about they release the flash to me rather than Palm?  LOL now, there's a novel idea!
    I suspect this has something to do the popular rise of Android, an operating system for mobiles that was still in design when webOS for Palm Pre was already established.  It appears, and no one denies, that the demo on the Palm Pre, you know the one, the one that made us all go out and get the Palm instead of the iPhone, was an iphoney.
    We have been duped.
    While much of the web relies on Adobe technology at the moment the end of their business cycle is in site, not just HTML 5, but sentiment in general.  The lack of respect, clarity, accountability and honesty in the main to blame.

    The Adobe Reader and the Flash player are not connected in
