Just updated to froyo and i cant watch videos on espn.com full site. it only shows a picture instead of a video. how can i fix this?

Did you download the latest version of flash from the market?
did you enable plug-ins
browser>menu button>more>settings>enable plug-ins>on demand . or always on

I found a fix for anyone out there. you have to change your brower settings to desktop by typing about:useragent in the address bar and than selecting desktop. Hope this helps someone it was driving me crazy!

This doesn't work for me when typing this in dolphin HD.

I've got the desktop user agent setting since first using Dolphin HD but for some reason Flash sites still won't load the full versions.

Cant get flash to work with froyo on epic

Ok, so i got my froyo download. All is was well except for flash, battery was getting low so i turned off phone and charged her up. When i started the phone almost nothing worked. I went right down to sprint, they rebooted my epic and everything is good to go.....except still no flash. If i go to yahooi and try to play a video, i get nothing. Hulu, nothing. Anyone else having this problem or just me. Everything looks nicer but i wanted flash more than anything! Any help would be great!!

When i do this the settings i get are:
First it asks me to check andriod
(whether i do or dont) i get the following

show javaScript console
Single column rendering
use wide viewport
Normal rendering
Enable tracing
Enable light touch
Enable navigation cache dump
Set JS flags


in 2.1 i could change it to desktop but all it did was make all web pages in desktop mode instead of moble mode. At thid point id be happy with just that. I have no flash and ive downloaded it and im running all stock 2.21. What can i do???! Just downloaded "skyfire" and went to HULU and it says Hulu is not making videoes for mobile browsers!!!
