[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.

What browser do you use?

I am not trying to start a "what is the best browser" war here.
I am using chrome right now but, today I noticed it is seriously draining my battery. I am going turn sync off on it hoping that helps but, I doubt that will do a whole lot.
I would like to know what everyone is using and if it drains the battery a lot or not.

I've always used stock, seems to have most features I need and it seems much faster than the others most of the time, especially when compared to chrome. Chrome's always seemed really slow for me at least. Stock doesn't seem to kill the battery much either.

Between chrome and Firefox.

I have always liked opera.

I go between Chrome and Dolphin

I tend to stick with Chrome. Have used the stock browser or Firefox when Chrome doesn't display something quite right in mobile or desktop mode.

Have always used Opera, never any problems. Use Lightning sometimes but still like Opera best.

Which opera are you using on the one? I have had sizing issues with mini and mobile.

I used Chrome a lot on my old phone and my tablet but I really like the stock browser on this phone. It's what I've been using.

Naked browser is the fastest and most lightweight

Also using stock browser. Found Chrome was lagging too much while scrolling.

I've been using Next for a while now. Really fast.

I use Chrome on both my phone and laptop. I love the syncing between them. Actually using Chrome Beta on the One.

Always been a stock guys myself.

Put me down for Chrome. Love the syncing from desktop to mobile.

I generally use the stock browser, but occasionally use Chrome. The stock browser seems to have the best luck with displaying pages correctly.

everytime I try chrome, I'm reminded why I don't use it on android. Much slower loading of most web pages, web pages load weird, etc. As long as a stock browser can pull my chrome desktop bookmarks, that is what I use. Not to mention the stock browser has incognito mode.

Yeah been trying out Firefox and the stock browser lately. I like both of them more than chrome. They seem faster. Not sure how I like Firefox's tab thing though.

Browsers not displaying content.

I Ann running AOKP but this has always been an issue. What setting do I have to change to get content to display on my browsers? So the screen shots site what a lot of sites look like. It's not all sites but it's some. This one is joann . com / coupon. I was in this site with my wife today and tried to use a coupon. Her stock nexus 4 running 4.3 displays everything just fine. I tried dolphin, which is my default, stock browser, and chrome. They ask display like this. I know it must be a setting but I don't know which one.
My wife is now giving my crap because my "fancy phone that I just can't leave alone isn't working right" and she "just knew I would break something“.

Samsung Keyboard

Just noticed that the Samsung Keyboard control has a resizing option similar to what LG does.
It needs to allow a bit more stretch though ...

Use SwiftKey and if you use the TBO version it has a ton of great free themes. B

Tried it, Fleksy too. Don't like either of them.
I prefer to have the integrated keyboard be more flexible.

Anyway to get the Samsung keyboard to run on a nexus 6p?

the Samsung keyboard is garbage. use Google keyboard for keyboard perfection.

Did you find any apps/.apks that are CheetahMobile/CleanMaster crapware?
I didn't see anything obvious (on my T-Mobile variant),but,I suspect some of the apps with the "Smart" in the app/.apk name may be their garbage.
I'm hoping this crapware,if it's installed,isn't hidden as it is on the AT&T/VZW models of the Note 5.

I pretty much just clicked anything that had the word Verizon in it or didn't look horrible. Lord knows what I managed to screw up doing it but everything is running fine until I get a verified disable "OK" list. I didn't really hunt for any apks or apps in particular -- I figure I'd let the pros do it ;P

Came from a nexus 6p and usually use chrome but with ads its unbearable. Been using the Samsung browser with adblock and the samsung browser extension on my desktop chrome to sync bookmarks and its actually great.
I got rid of some verizon apps and amazon stuff mainly.

Definitely disable that damn DT Ignite! Loads random apps onto the phone.

Yeah it's not the greatest but it still works well in chrome. Also you get to use everything that you normally do. I personally set up a button widget to turn the VPN on or off.

FWIW, I have the paid version of adguard and find it works extremely well. With paid version you have https ad blocking, in-app ad blocking, and some other useful features. I forget if these additional features are available on free version. But for non rooted phones, I think this is a great option.
Also, Crystal for Samsung Browser will block ads in their app. I don't really have a need for it but it's there anyway lol.

It's super important that you reenable all apps that you've disabled with Package Disabler before you do any update. I learned that the hard way once and my phone was all screwy until I did a factory reset.
