Firefox or Xscope for Flash?

**nobodyisherenow** · 09-15-2012, 11:38 AM

the only issue i have with xscope pro is that when i'm playing a facebook flash game, it seems to double click on things a lot and i don't know how to keep that from happening. for instance i'll select the next page and it'll jump me 2 pages instead of 1. kind of annoying.

I tried Firefox and it would crash every time. No thank you.

I've since moved to scope Pro and haven't had any problems viewing flash sights so far. *knocks on wood*

Then why does it identify itself as safari to websites. I was told that it was built off safari similar to early Linux browsers. The "stock" browser is ready to retire. Google just needs to polish the chrome first.

As per my experience “Xscope” Really fast, and flash works perfectly.

Used Xscope, Firefox and Boat. Xscope is the most reliable and smoothest overall browser for Flash playback. I highly recommend it, but not for anything beside Flash content.

It doesn't, many websites detect it as Safari because they detect anything mobile as such. Whoever told you that, told you very, very wrong. And Early Linux browsers most certainly were NOT based off of Safari.

I tried xscope and it was ok. I also installed boat and I couldn't get flash to work on it (NBC.com).
Then when I went back to xscope, it crashed almost every time. I uninstalled boat, and xscope didn't crash, and played NBC full episodes just fine, even in full screen.
So I'm sticking with xscope. Crome doesn't have an add blocker. Xscope blocks adds without telling it to.

I can't even get NBC videos to work on my Asus Slider with ICS and the stock browser. It says it's not available on this device. Other Flash works fine and Flash works fine with Boat on my Nexus 7 but I get the same error on NBC videos. Is there a setting I need to change somewhere?

I couldn't get any browser to work with NBC.com except Xscope.
I tried Dolphin, Boat, Firefox beta, arora, and Xscope.

I'm trying to ditch cable TV, but without HD flash and Full screen video, it just isn't close enough to the 'TV' experience.

This would be cool: Use the N7 to browse to a TV site with streaming videos (free preferred), play them while streaming them over my Wifi network to my networked Bravia TV.
That would kill cable for me.

Or, better yet, just plug a 200 dollar laptop into you TV, and use your N7 or phone as a remote. For TV, nothing beats a PC/TV combo.

Is there an app that will allow me to use the N7 as a bluetooth keyboard to another computer?

I know I can stream a computer desktop and control it that way, (splashtop 2 HD) but how about using it as a bluetooth keyboard. (no network required)

**corydorcutt** · 09-27-2012, 12:38 AM

PC Remote Controller. It's free in the play store. Let's you use your N7 as a mouse, keyboard, remote control, pinch to zoom tool and lots more.
