Galaxy Note 10.1 - Amazon Prime Instant Video on Android

[ilovetospell]

So for the past two days, I have been searching nonstop on how to make this happen. I downloaded flash 11.1, Dolphin browser, set the settings to enable flash and still nothing. A lot of places never mention to go into the settings of Dolphin and change the user agent to Desktop. It works!!! Hallelujah. Thanks to this guy I don't have to send my tablet back. I just thought I'd post since I didn't see much else that mentioned this step. Sorry if posted elsewhere already, I am a total newbie. How to Stream Amazon Instant Video on Android Tablets - The Digital Reader

Same for stock browser in desktop mode! I am so excited/ feel like such a dummy haha. Maybe other people that aren't good with computers can benefit from this like I did

Thank you for posting this!!!!! Seems easy to most I guess but for myself, I was frustrated and disappointed. Just gave up trying to figure it out! Now voila'! Finally, I get the scoop after a year of owning the Note 10.1

So just remember, some of us need more instruction than others. LMAO. I am slowwwwwwwwwww.
Happy 2014 to all!

I deepest apologizes, I know how frustrating this process can be! I misspelled the add-on, it should have read, Phony. I corrected my response.

I found that if you go to the movie you want to watch, then go to your browser settings, check the box for desktop view. Then the warning about your devise is replaced by the watch nowbutton and you can now watch the movie. You must have desktop view enabled.

Thank you so much. My Amazon Prime membership is coming up for renewal in a couple of weeks and I was seriously considering cancelling it because I wasn't able to watch videos on my new Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition. I followed your steps exactly and now it works just fine. Thanks again.

Actually I did all this and even that other website but the only thing that actually switched the green button to play on Amazon Prime instant video was the switching user to Desktop. However, it still says it needs flash player installed, but when I click on it, my device is incompatible .

Any ideas?:'(
