If you already had it before upgrading to Jellybean it is still there and works fine. You can't simply download it from the store after that as it is no longer supported.

BTW, I friggin' hate clowns!

you can always side load flash with firefor or default browser and flash will work.

You need to complain to Adobe. This has nothing to do with Android. Adobe dropped support.

It looks like you're not going to be buying anything then. Adobe abandoned development of Flash for any mobile platforms, in favor of HTML5. I'm not sure where you've been for the past year, but this isn't news.

This isn't Google's or any OEM's fault. This was an Adobe decision.

You do have the option of side-loading the Flash app and using it with a 3rd-party browser like Dolphin, but there will be no support for it. If something breaks due to an Android update, don't expect Adobe to fix it.

You'll find the same situation on any other mobile OS. Blame Adobe. They're no longer developing Flash for mobile devices.

Download lucky patcher, it has a patch for flash player that makes it so you can visit sites that will only work on a pc, like hulu, Netflix and etc...

Like I said, blame Adobe (the makers of Flash). They decided to stop developing Flash for mobile devices. You can't blame Google for another company's decision to go in a different direction. You can't blame Google for not officially supporting something that has been abandoned, from a development standpoint, by its creator.

Quite frankly, I'm glad that Flash is dying out. It is a major resource hog and not suitable for mobile platforms that need less power-hungry, resource-intensive apps. Eventually, websites will catch on to using HTML-5. Many already do.

I'm not a Hulu user. If you want someone to be mad at, complain to Hulu that they haven't kept up with the technology available, since they're still using Flash instead of HTML-5 on their website. The real issue is that Hulu, and other media-serving sites like it, don't want you accessing their content from your mobile device because of the licensing agreements that they have with the studios that provide the content. So they won't make the site mobile-friendly until those agreements allow them to.

The fact that Android, as a platform, offers you a way to get around those license agreements, should garner your praise, not your disdain. Focus your anger on the money-grubbing studios and the short-sighted websites that haven't gotten with the times.

...and good luck switching to the iPhone. If you think it will be any easier to digest Flash content on THAT platform, you're delusional.

Download puffin for 2.99 it's what I use.

**cosmos0001** · 06-05-2013, 06:28 PM

6 months later... I am surviving without a tablet... is everyone surviving without flash? did they ever make an agreement? is html5 reining supreme or was that a "flash" in the pan? thanks...

A lot of us side loaded flash and it works. Don't ask me how or where as its been so long since I did it.

Less complaining about no flash on your android, more clicking the link provided to sideload flash.

Seriously, there's really NOTHING to complain about, as flash works great on Jelly Bean 4.1 and 4.2. Just don't expect fast loading speeds with large flash files.
