Guest cacoe Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I can't get Adobe Flash Player to show up in the Market, no sort of search shows it up, I even managed to find an apk which also refused to install. Am I missing something here?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pellen Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Yes. The Blade hasn't support for flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something here?... It's still, and very much so, that the Blade does NOT SUPPORT FLASH 10.1. Wrong CPU There's nothing that can be done about it. This has been asked very many times in the forum, and the answer is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest macrules Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hmm, you can search market but not the forums.... You can install it from elsewhere, but as stated the processor is not supported by flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jt_mcg Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 You can install it from elsewhere, but as stated the processor is not supported by flash. I know because there are 1000s of threads, hence my point that the OP searched the market, but not the forums.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest popoyaya Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 The youtube app plays fine, as does tvcatchup, etc. so the blade's processor should be more than capable of handling flash. Adobe should get off their a***s and compile it for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest _amano Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) The youtube app obviously doesn't serve you flash videos. Because FLASH is not working on ARM v6. I think that those videos served by the youtube app are re-encoded for mobile use. With gingerbread we will be able to see VP8 videos from youtube directly because gingerbread will support WebM and google is re-encoding all its content to webM anyway.

Yep, it's how TVC works, it just sends you an RTSP stream. Nothing to do with flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cacoe Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Actually, I searched the forums for "flash player zte blade" which returned only 3 results which were about custom roms, they had over 30 pages each and would have taken forever to find the relevant posts. That's if there were any because I have a feeling that the results would have been about flashing the zte with a rom rather than Adobe Flash. Anyway, thanks for clearing it up, I had suspicions that it was a hardware issue. I'd already asked in another popular forum and no one knew about this.

Adobe should get off their a***s and compile it for us! Really there's nothing in it for them to do so (plus they're probably bribed not too!!) What really needs to happen is websites using flash especially for video need to get off their rears and upgrade to html5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Afrodude Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 No offence, but that would be very bad to search for. You should have searched the ZTE Blade forums for "Flash" - this would be much better :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sudoeste Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 No offence, but you suggestion is even worst. Have you tried what you've said? Flash query returns everything, including flashing roms. So I dont see the point of your search. Many ppl forget about flash lite and that it IS compatible with armv6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Prendy Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Flash lite is only for 2.1 roms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it does :P The Youtube player sends Flash Video (FLV) stream, what can be played - but that's got nothing to do with Adobe's Flash 10.1! So, flash video =/= Flash content!

You should have searched the ZTE Blade forums for "Flash" - this would be much better :P Actually the "Proper" way to search is press the search button then click the words underneath it that say "More Search Options" Then put whatever words your searching for and click the button that says "Search Titles Only" Putting the word Flash in and doing this search brings THIS up http://android.modaco.com/index.php?act=Se...ghlite=%2BFlash Which is only 2 pages of results and MOST of the top results are posts saying how flash cannot be used and why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dadashi Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) This is an OLD and outdated CPU mate, why would they even bother? Dual cores are coming. This CPU can play flash, with the 2.1 eclair roms with Flashlite installed it played 99.9% of flash data in the browser...no probs...including youtube Someone who knows the Flashlite programmer should ask him to do it for 2.2 froyo...

Guest Pirttila Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Another thing is GPU, ADRENO 200 GPU does not support Flash. Adreno site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rotmann Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Rubbish. The Desire and the N1 have the same GPU and they play flash. The CPU is the problem because Adobe decided not to support it (can't blame them too much though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rayraven Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) ^Flash isnt fully gpu accelerated yet and needs cpu for a large amount of processing. P.S: Mods, would be nice if you could make a sticky saying flash doesnt work, we seem to have quite a few threads about it.

Guest Maz2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 This is a very annoying lack. One of the main reasons I bought this phone was to be able to play listen again radio (not TV) from the BBC via the BBC iPlayer. I do this all the time on both my PC and on an internet radio. And then I find that when I try to access iPlayer it tells me I need Flash installed in order to play audio only? This is daft. My Reciva internet radio plays all the BBC listen again radio streams and it certainly doesnt have anything remotely like Flash in it. So I'm reduced to listening to the listen again radio streams via Skyfire which works fine but is very clunky indeed. RadioTime nearly plays the listen again programmes but can only bring up a very limited number. Very annoying. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rayraven Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Get an older version of myplayer, it plays bbc streams fine on the San Fran.
