[Q] Boat Browser flash crash on galaxy s4?

It seems that I cannot get flash to work on the boat browser. Any fix available? It works fine on firefox.

Adobe stopped supporting the Android platform. That might have something to do with it.

Go to Adobe's standalone APK installer site to get an updated version of flash. Just scroll down to "Flash Player for Android 4.0 archives" and install that, restart phone and you're good to go

Tried it doesnt work.
It crashed, and exits by it self after freezing.

Same here
I have installed last updated flash player.
and when i use flash content on Boat browser it crashed.
any fix possible ?

I can confirm that flash in Boat Browser, and Boat Browser Mini, does work. I had some crashes in Boat Browser before I tried mini, and mini has been running smooth.
I followed the process in this videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_md3foVM58&feature=youtube_gdata_player.

I find that many websites don't load the flash video correctly and displays a black screen. What I do is open another tab and type in settings.adobe.com/flashplayer/mobile/
then when I go back it shows the video play button. Normally you do it once, but it doesn't save the settings. I love firefox but man boat browser has a killer bookmark manager and speed dial.

I haven't had any issues using flash in boat browser.

maybe its different if you bough the gs4

Gogoanime rocks!!
And from your video it appears you are using a hosts file to block ads?
Use the original hosts file and use Firefox with ad block edge add on. Perfect experience for flash.

agree firefox does a great job with flash. boat browser is pretty swell as well.

Every browser crashes!!

Hi guys. I have a really annoying issue that I couldn't solve by myself. Every sammy based rom i flash i have this issue. Sometimes the browser ( every browser like boat, chrome, aosp browser, stock browser, firefox ecc ) freezes and close without any FC message. Tried to unistall flash player, reflash a rom with a full wipe without restoring backups of user data, fix permissions, wipe cache and dalvik but the issue is still present. I had this issue with several sammy roms and i don t know how to solve it.. can anyone help me? I don t want to go to aosp roms!
Thanks guys

Also tried a megawipe script but no luck... Maybe I will try Chrome and see if it happens again.. even if I hate chrome cause is very slow and laggy at the moment...

Sometimes it's the same with chrome on my note 2. I'm using now chrome beta and that works perfect ...

I also have stock browser crashing when it never did before. I suspect one of the google updates that went through recently since besides app updates I haven't changed anything in months and I don't think any of the apps I have is embedded deeply enough to affect the browser. I've considered nandroiding back to trace it but it's a tough one to do since the crashing is somewhat random. Btw I don't have your video app installed (Maxthon).

I have the exact same problem with my N7100. In first thought I was sure that it was a software problem and I did all the steps you mentioned in your initial post...but there I had no luck as the problem kept coming. Then I gave it a try to my local samsung service point. The first time I sent them the phone they didn;t manage to solve the problem and they onlt did a factory reset. The second time I sent it they changed the mainboard (pcb/motherboard)...I thought I was done but guess......the problem was still there! But I am ok, I am now sure that it's a software bug.
I am using the opera browser which doesn't give me the stock browser problems (boat browser is also giving problems to me)!

Chrome constantly crashing

I unlocked/rooted my device today, and it all went smooth, but chrome seems to be crashing non stop. It will open for a few seconds, but if I touch anything or scroll it will just crash to the wallpaper with no errors. I don't *think* it was crashing prior to the root, but I'm not entirely sure. I didn't use the browser much before then. This same crash also happens to the chrome beta.
I tried clearing the chrome cache, I even did a factory reset/wipe. I haven't tried unrooting yet. That's gonna be a last resort.
Everything is stock except for the root and TWRP. (Kernel, rom, etc)
Chrome is really the only browser I seem to like on android, so getting it working is pretty important for me.

Mine was doing that also until I install the jassy kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383361

Chrome crashes even when un-rooted. I switched to Firefox for my nrw Nexus 7.

I saw a demo unit in best buy doing the same thing today! And when I tried to download any apps from playstore it gave me 497 error code. Not sure what's going on.

I can attest that the Chrome browser will freeze up or crash. Browsing this site will produce a freeze or two per session. Other sites I do not use as extensively.
I purchased my N7 because browsing on an iPad 3 gen was impossible with Safari or Chrome which I installed because Safari was so bad. Chrome on the iPad was unusable. Chrome on Windows 7 also crashes and hangs very frequently.

I use chrome and it never crashed and it pretty smooth.

Did you install Xposed? I did and Chrome always crashed.

Indeed I did! That's the main reason I rooted....
That could very well be the culprit, but chrome isn't worth not having xposed, so I will stick with an alternative browser for now.
Thanks!

I've not added any plugins or other extensions to Chrome on my mobile devices. An attempt to add one on the desktop version similar to what I used in Firefox ended miserably. Just crashes and freezes, similar to the experience on the N7.

[Q] why all the pop ups on xda with N7

I keep getting redirected to the play store and other websites when I'm on xda with my nexus 7 and on my phone.
Also every time I move a page up or down the page refreshes and I have to move the page again to see what threads are at the bottom of the page. It is getting to the point where I'm thinking of deleting my xda bookmarks and not bothering with the site on my tablet.
All other websites are fine by the way. I have avast installed and I'm using chrome.
Please help, thanks.

Get adaway https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.adaway

Cheers for that I will give it a go tomorrow. I have just installed boat browser and xda is working as it should so before I get adaway I will try boat to see if the problem is caused by chrome being sh!t.
Thanks for your help.

Chrome

To stop the browser from auto refreshing change the forum style at the bottom from 2013 beta to 2014 beta. For whatever reason this is broke on xda with the chrome browser.
Edit: I mean change to the 2013 beta 1024 not 2014

I'm experiencing the same scrolling/refreshing problem on Chrome Beta. (But no pop-ups)
It would be great if Boat works.

I have been on here for the last hour using boat browser and not a problem, and it's a bit faster as well. Try it and see.

I tried taptalk and boy is it me or is that horrible to use.
I'm getting pop ups and redirections on boat browser now. How come it doesn't happen on any other websites. Also I don't have a problem with xda when on my windows phone. Looking forward to getting my 2520
On the "ad away" link above it says root needed, I don't have root so is there any way of getting it without root?
Cheers

It's happening on web browsers for Android (Chrome for Android and Firefox) as well as for desktop (Chrome and Firefox)
Tapatalk and xda app works just fine.

I'm really sorry but I have no explanation about this "strange problem".
I hope someone will read your problem and maybe give you a solution.crossed fingers
