Might get more replies if you post in the correct section. Evo development is only for people who create roms

Yeah, wrong section. This would be a Q&A thread. Anyways, the best way to fix it is to do a factory reset. There are some problems reported after running the update without wiping, so definitely wipe to make sure everything is working.
remove adobe flash and reinstall it. works perfect afterwards

I was also have the browser issue, and I did that, and now it doesn't crash, but it does say Adobe Flash player version 9 or high is required when I try to play a video... and if I try uninstalling flash player, it says cannot be uninstalled...
Anyone have the exact name .apk of the flash player so I can delete it via root explorer?
Fix
EDIT: Mkay if your getting problems with Flash player, set your cache on your browser to the second highest under 8MB, then install the flash.apk from here, and boom! Working flash

Better yet, just try this:
Code:
$adb shell rm -R /data/data/com.htc.flashliteplugin /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer

Yeah apk which is posted on forum tested working on my Galaxy S. Now browsing with flash.
Were can I find the apk? Thanks.
Are you sure it's not the Flash Lite 3.1 that is working?
http://galaxys.samsungmobile.com/specification/spec.html?ver=low
Here it states that SGS comes with it, not sure Flash 10.1 has overriden it.
APK Here its posted on Evo forums
Its 10.1.
Try it
wow if this is true it is amazing, i dont actually need to wait for 2.2 to come out
Thanks for the link.
couldnt get it to work, tried youtube.
It doesn't work.
Edit: Used Astro Apps manager to uninstall. But before that, tried to launch it directly. A popup message said that Activity not found.
Went to check @ www.whatismyflash.com, and it stated clearly no flash was installed.
Didn't work for me either :-(
Wow for a second I thought that it really will work and I dont need 2.2..... check it before posting false info -.-
whatismyflash does work for me though.. Also some sites seem to work, but not all.
enable/allow plugins or flash from your phone's default browser
yup,try that. afterwards try accessing a flash website.
this might help you enable flash in galaxy s.
"whatismyflash"
After checking this site it detects my flash a 9.xx.xx
im using the stock browser, do i need to power off after installing flash 10.1?
hmmmm...
not really. after enabling plugins from the browser settings.. went to youtube straight away and watch some videos straight from the browser.. and played some amazing puzzle games at eyemaze website.
some websites that require 10.xx.xx flash and other websites doesn't seem to load.. for the reason.. don't really a clue.

I am also Galaxy S user.. i also install adobe flash 10.1.. also cannot work..
check with Whatismyflash.com ot show Flash player 9.1.xx not 10.1.
How you make it to work?
Doesnt Work
This is my first android phone and not sure how much write access the installers have to the system on the i9000 but...
I have just installed the APK and still get flash player 9 which is the pre-install lite.. (apk is stored in /system/apps/flashlite)
/system/ looks to be readonly and cannot be overwritten unless you have root access.
not sure but this could be why its not working.
Might be worth someone with root access testing.
Can someone check is justin.tv works woth this?

Market BUG
After I flash this firmware, I only able to download a few applications and then something weird happened. The Market start to download the program that I don't download and it say download unsuccessful and after that when I want to download other program, It stuck at starting download.
Only solution I found is factory reset
I originally used DXJF4 rom

Hey Luke,
Been experiencing this problem ever since i got this phone, i've now tried every firmware update possible, no real fix as yet. I suspected it had something to do with the fact that i moved from a Nexus One with Froyo back to Eclair, but it sounds like you haven't done that.
Let me know if you find a fix... would love to be able to use my market the way it was intended.
No YouTube connect

Camera Geotaging stops working after some seconds.
Simply no position inside the EXIF Tag.
This issue is not new in this Firmware.

Thanks for the tip but it did not work. I'm having a problem where the imei number on the phone using *#06# is different to the case imei. I don't get how the numbers changed, but would desperately appreciate if someone could tell me how to match them up again?
I also have a problem with try to correct by changing .imei in /system /efs to match case imei but after reboot it keep changing back.

yes thanks that was the solution iforget todo factory reset
now works fine
I already had 2 crash/freeze with this kernel, it looks definitely unstable.
2 crashes situation :
1/ Pressing stop/play in xiialive lite
2/ listening audio in the standard mp3 player.
It crashed both time using the audio device.
I waited 1min the first time, hoping OOm killer or something else would kill a bad behaving process; without success.
The second time, i did not had time to loose :/
Very disapointing !
2 days after installing JS2 I'm still unable to connect to Market.
I'm unable to setup the Google login. Error is always no server available or something in that manner. Selecting clearing cache in recovery also did not help either.
Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
Thanks.
If you are not able to login to the market, then you will have a general problem..
Because you can even login if you dont have the market fix..
The market fix is just for secure apps...
I rooted my Evo today with unrEVOked version 3.32 to get root to watch Hulu on my EVO. I've tried putting Hulu on my Evo, but all I get is the blue box on the Hulu app or Hulu needs Flash 10.1 something on the browser. I've uninstalled Flash with Titanium Backup and reboot the phone to install Flash for the hex-fix, the Samsung Capative and the flash from 10.3 to 99.99.99.9, but they all don't work. Can someone please help me get Hulu to work on my HTC Evo Stock rom with 3.70.651.1 firmware?
i dug this apk's up here on xda, i forgot where
Using titanium scroll to your current flash player, wipe data then uninstall. Now go to your file manager (root explorer, astro etc..) install modified flash then HULU.apk.
It should work. From HULU app choose a vid, hit hour glass/white screen, wait, then it should start playing.
to view HULU site (better IMHO, easier to navigate) from stock browser type, about:debug ,then enter then menu, more, settings change UA string to desktop.
should be good to go
It's doesn't work for my phone. I get the Blue Question Mark box when I click on a video link and when I search for a video it says my flash need to be updated. I did everything you told me to do.

Try this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794512&page=21
It does work and has quite a while . The hulu apk requires task killer to shut it off.
The hulu web site works as is.
^^ try that. it may be that the old version of flash isn't being fully removed.
Thanks Willy900Wonka and Jalai. Willy you help me with my problem, and Jalai you were correct with the problem to. You both gave me the solution to the problem I needed for Hulu to work. Thanks!
What was the solution?
Details please.
Edit:
Found solution for 10.3 and hulu.apk.
1. Use root uninstaller to uninstall flash player
2. Use root uninstaller to uninstall flash lite. (After 4 months, finally notice that it was still installed)
3. Go to Settings>Applications>Manage applications>All> locate all of your browsers and clear cache, clear info and force stop app.
4. Install hacked 10.3 or whatever you want, then install hulu.apk (no link to files google them)
5. Do not restart phone
6. Open stock browser
7. Type "about:debug" in URL, then hit enter
8. Go to menu>settings and set "UAString" to "Desktop" (if you don't see UAString, repeat 7 & 8)
9. Exit back to browser, go to a full webpage. (ex: http://www.google.com)
10. Repeat step 7 and Clear all the following; all cookie data, cache, history, form data, password, location access.
11. Exit back to browser
12. finally go to hulu and test it out

Uninstall flash by Titanium Backup and install the 10.2. flash player modded.

It works just like it did before, any moderators if we have another Thread like this one laying around please feel free to deleted but I didn't see one
if you use Dolphin browser and is not working for you try the following:
Use root explorer(any other root explorer is fine) to go into Data > Data > Find Browser folder > App_plugins > com.adobe.flashplayer> .macromedia > flashplayer > Long press config.data > permissions > uncheck all the boxes.
its working now. Thanks
Im glad is working for you
Sorry for noob questions, but
Does this require root to accomplish? Can I use this file to upgrade from 10.2 flash to 10.3?
I only ask because I'm new to the Inc2 having come from DX where I could drop apks into a directory and install from there. Inc doesn't seem to let me do that. And no, I'm not rooted, my Inc2 came with 2.3.4.
nope no root require just unistall the 10.2 version thru applications -> manage apps and install the 10.3

Brand new Gnex like everybody else.
Every time I try to download something from the browser I'm getting a download unsuccessful error, but if everywhere else downloads work.
For example if i'm in the xda forum app and somebody post a download that shows up in the app it goes straight through but if I have to click on a link and try to download it, it doesn't work.
Also if I pull up a picture in the browser and long press and save picture it doesn't work but i can set it as a wallpaper no problem.

This picture right here didn't work for me.
I'm still completely stock right now. haven't rooted or changed bootloader and running stock browser
I was playing around with my buddies nexus and found the same problem. A work around I found was to go into the Download app in the drawer, find your download, long press it until it gives you a retry option. Might take at least two tries but the file finally downloaded

Same problem here. My workaround is just to download on my PC, and use Dropbox to move it to my Gnex.

Yeah that's what I've been doing while at work in front of my computer, but that's not really a workaround since you can only do it when you are in front of a pc.
Any updates on this?
***SOLVED***
In settings, go to "Apps", select the "All" tab, go down and find "Download Manager", press the "Force Stop" button, then press the "Clear Data" button. Reboot and you can download again.
Download astro file manager. In prefs - enable browser downloads.

This didn't fix it for me and also you don't want that because that will make Astro the download manager. You want the stock one to work either way. Try my fix above first.
Also try
1. Clear cache for "Browser" in the Apps menu.
2. Clear cache and dalvik-cache in CWM and reboot.
3. If you have Astro already installed, try uninstalling it.
All else fails, repeating these 3 steps plus the fix I posted above in this order.
This worked thank you

This was happening to me and I tried everything I could think of to fix it including wiping data on market, uninstalling updates, factory reset phone, and wiping cache in download manager. I finally figured out that it would only fail when on wifi. Turning it off would let me download. I finally gave up trying to fix it. Funny thing is it works now though. I recommend just giving it a day. It may fix itself. It did for me.

I've countless threads and people recommended this or Opera mini. I don't consider any of these a solution. It's just a "workaround" since the original issue is not resolved. What I found was the solution. Highly recommend it. Especially considering how nice the stock browser on this phone is.
