flash player not working on new Galaxy S3

**sammiagalac** · 08-20-2012, 10:59 AM

Well I now have it on successfully. I would just like to be able to backup my current flash player, just in case, but I don't know how to do that.
And it seems that I was downloading the wrong flash player or my phone...

You can download Easy App Lock - Manager in the Play Store. It's made by 2Easy Team, and it has a function that allows you to backup your apks to your sd card. Hope this helps so that you don't lose the version you found

yeah theres a few back-up apps. i have MyBackup Pro that i bought for a previous device but how do they work with the way the s3 handles storage? SD on the s3 is the internal sd and the sd card is called EXT SD so do these back-up apps work with this new way of handling memory?

Doesn't Dropbox just let you upload apks? I used Box.net, and when I want to backup an app, I just backup the apk to my sd card, and then manually upload it. Does dropbox let you simply backup the apk to your account, without having to use another app? I know when I rooted my Droid 4, I tried Titanium Backup, and I believe it had an option to backup apps and settings directly to Google Drive, Dropbox, Box.net, etc. But of course you have to be rooted, and I havent even bothered to root my GS3 yet.

Has anybody checked in their google account in the play store? Every app I have ever downloaded or updated for any phone I've had is there including Adobe Flash Player which I have successfully installed on my GS3.

Play Store > menu > my apps > scroll to ALL and look for Adobe Flash Player there

Check out Colorado_Dl post, this worked for me, while others didn't, so this may work for you. But before downloading it, read up on it first before you do because you're downloading it at your own risk.

Hi,

I solved this quite simply.

I browsed to

This loads the BBC player that requires Flash.

The load fails, but with a friendly explanation and a direct link to the Flash Player that you can install to fix the problem. Click the link, follow the prompts.

Worked for me.

play store just updated my Adobe Flash.. will the people who side-loaded it get updates?

**sammiagalac** · 08-23-2012, 08:53 PM

Well I typed in flash player in the play store, and it's gone completely, so for me, I may not be able to update, unless there is something that I'm missing.
And what did the new update included?

hold on il get a screenshot. yeah i got it from play store b4 it was removed....

**funkylogik** · 08-23-2012, 09:05 PM

**funkylogik** · 08-23-2012, 09:08 PM

seems like a contradiction between the "whats new" and the description lol

**sammiagalac** · 08-23-2012, 09:16 PM

So this means that they would still update previously own flash players?
I thought that they were completely finished with it?

I just downloaded Flash Player 11 from my list of purchased apps in the Play store. Seems like the app is still available in the play store, but Google just took away the ability to search for it. If you've downloaded it before, you should still be able to get it using your list of all downloads. Now, if they would only alphabetize that list so I wouldn't have to search through everything for it...

**sammiagalac** · 08-24-2012, 11:43 AM

That's why I don't have that feature, because I didn't previously downloaded it from the play store.

Sammiagalac have you ever had a phone that had flash player on it?

**sammiagalac** · 08-24-2012, 12:45 PM

Believe it or not, the AG's was my only smartphone, and I purchased it after adobe pulled down flash player. And it also seems that it was never installed in the first place...
