Jelly Bean update and Adobe flash functionality

M331 · Oct 4, 2012

Can anyone that has updated to Jelly Bean comment on whether or not flash still works in the default Samsung browser? If not this may be a show stopper for me upgrading when available in the states.

Thanks.

If you install the APK, it noticed it works, more or less, on the stock browser. It should work with Maxthon as well, but I'm not sure. As of now, I'm running ICS again.

On stock browser it works just fine. I tested it with various JB builds and it worked as designed. I do not use 3rd party browsers so cannot say about them

On the Canadian SG3 atleast, Flash does not work either in Stock browser or in Chrome. I was surprised by this as I thought one of the big selling points of Android over iOS was ability to play flash.

This is for 4.0, not JB, as we don't have that yet in Canada.

I have the GS3 in Canada and Flash is running in stock browser and Firefox. I installed it wit a flash install package, I can't remember where I got it though! ;-) ... but I am still on ICS.

Flash on Chrome will never work anymore. When Google removed Flash from the Play store it removed Flash support from Chrome (maybe it could work with a previous Chrome version but try with stock browser of download Firefox). As for a site, I've seen it work but not all Flash sites will work (I can't find one now). Probably some are detecting that you are using a mobile browser and that it is not supported.
