What's the quickest and easiest way to check that Adobe Flash is working? I don't have wi-fi so can't check BBC iPlayer. And it would appear not to work without it on my phone.

I use this site on my laptop http://www.radioplayer.co.uk/ and when I accessed it via the phone it said flash player required, so thought I'd try with that, but I can't get any of the 3 versions to work. Actually looks like it's playing (current song showing as per on laptop), but no sound. And volume is up and I checked with headphones. Nothing.

I've tried rebooting after each install to no avail. Also I'm sure in my first attempt with v11 the app appeared in my tray of applications but after that all I get is the Flash Settings icon there.

I'm running an unlocked, rooted OMC on Atomic v2.5

Any suggestions?

Are you using dolphin browser?

Is there any discernible difference between the 10.1/2/3 and 11 versions? Or should I just plump for 11?

[dadashi]

I use flash 11 with cm7 rom. Using elitmovil I found 10.3 was better. It depends on the configuration.

Just try 11 and if that doesnt play all your streams try 10,3...

Yes, using Dolphin. I also tried on the stock browser and Opera but no joy. Not sure if I tried all 3 browsers with all 3 versions of  the flash player mind you, but would have tried all 3 with Dolphin.

What's the best way to test given BBC iPlayer won't work as I have no wi-fi?

What procedure needs to be followed to do this. I'm still confused about this rooting business - all I've done is unlock and install the Clockwork mod. I did reboot several times with no luck.

Thanks for your reply.

Try playing a YouTube video embedded in a website or go on the YouTube desktop site and try to play a video

With no versions of flash installed I seem to already be able to play videos from YouTube - although I am automatically directed to the mobile version of the site. I think I'll quit while I'm ahead as flash is maybe something I don't seem to need anyway.  Thanks for your help.

Have a look at the FAQ on 'Rooting for beginners'. It's a pinned topic at the top of the ZTE Skate forum page. Part 1 explains what rooting is all about and Part 4 describes how to root the phone by installing Superboot. It's an excellent guide that I found to be very helpful.

Yes, thanks for the tip. After rooting I finally got iplayer working BUT some videos only play for 1 sec only.

video looks strange and small

It's been fine for me watching top gear, full screen video and now has a subtitles option too.

[jikobutsu]

Just to remind everyone who does not know which flash to use.Flash 11 is a fake,it is flash 10.3 wrapped up to seem like 11,so just install 10.3.

[H3ROS]

I've noticed the same thing. People seem to think that if they take the files from 10.3 and add them to 11 that it's actually 11 that's working, but that's simply not true. It's a shame Adobe haven't released an update though as using 10.3 is a security risk.
