    Nope no such app exists. Its up to thr website to change over from flash to HTML5. Also I highly doubt that phone will support it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,923 ✭✭✭cloptrop


    Oh rite so its the websites stuff just isnt compatible with my phone. Google play tells me i cant have adobe for my phone . What a letdown if i had of known this id have got a different phone. Its a long time before i get an upgrade again


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,284 ✭✭✭ongarite


    That phone, Galaxy Mini only has an ARM6 processor which Adobe Flash doesn't work with.

    No, it a very basic smartphone. I hope it was a cheap upgrade.

    lol had a galaxy s before my galaxy mini which got stolen so was a big jump of a downgrade.

    So the bigger samsungs allow this ? I thought it was to do with some sort of dispute with samsung and adobe. Not to worry i think im due another upgrade around 2013. Ill just sit here and wait until then . Are you going to finish that yogurt ?

    As mentioned its due to the processor and not the manufacturer. Low end smartphones cant handle everything thrown at them. There will be more issues with compatability at lower end as most apps and software will be targeted and developed at mid and higher end phones.

    Just a heads up when you are upgrading the iPhone doesn't support flash neither does the iPad.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,012 ✭✭✭✭thebman


    Download an app called MX Player.

    It can play a lot of online video's.
