How to download Adobe Flash Player?

[Manami]

Hello everyone! I'm new here

I need help. I got myself for Christmas a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 32GB and I love it. But I don't know what's wrong that I can't watch netflix or other series from their website like cwtv.com or abc.go.com. When I tried to download adobe flash player it says that my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 does not support it...is that true?

Go here: Archived Flash Player versions
Scroll down to Section titled "Flash Player for Android 4.0 archives" and download latest archived version (11.1.115.81 as of 9/12/13).
Transfer the .apk file to the Download folder on your Note 10.1 and launch it to install it.
Go to your app page, find the Flash icon and launch the app.

[EDIT]
Inserted latest version number
[EDIT]
If you get a message that install is blocked for security reasons because app isn't from Play Store, go to Settings>Security>Device Administration>Unknown Sources and check that box.

Should be GTG

Have you done this? Did it work.
I am a bit disappointed that the tablet does not support flash.
One of the reason I bought this tablet was because the salesperson assured me it supported flash
well...he lied.
cannot access many apps that actually need flash

It works. I did it. And no android device supports Flash any more. Some people use the Foxfire browser to get Flash.

Flash download with the stock browser works. It will not work with Chrome; no flash with Chrome.

It supports Flash.
Flash just doesn't officially support it or any Jellybean device.

Yes and Yes. Salesperson didn't lie but didn't tell you (may not have known) that Flash is not pre-installed. Also, what Lanhoj said above is true as is the fact that Chrome doesn't support Flash but most other browsers (including the stock one) do.

I don't understand how to make Flash work. I followed the steps listed above for installing Flash, and I have version 11.1 installed, but if I try to watch anything on Hulu I get an error message saying Hulu is not supported on my platform. I've tried using the stock browser and the Firefox browser and am not able to view any Flash video through either.

I did this for my Nexus but had to install Boat Browser from the play store. Once it installed, I went onto Boats settings and enabled flash as always on.

Also, I can run this on Dolphin Browser as well.

I just bought a galaxy note 10.1, I can say that is a hell of machine. except for the OS . My tablet came already with the new Android 4.1.2 jelly bean.
The new OS has been a nightmare as most apps are displaying a message "isnt compatible"! flash player forget about already try all gouges and it didn't work. Other thing is using the email app, keep showing emails with question mark all over with writing between.
Does any one here knows how to solve those issues on email,flash and incompatibility of some apps? Is all related on flash pulling the plug ?
Thank you for any advice, I'm new on android OS, and is getting little frustrated not being able to see a litlle thing as such email in full body.

So dumb question I know but if I already have adobe reader I need to uninstall it before I install the flash player?

Nope, has no effect on Reader.

I followed your directions, Bluzman, and installed the archived version. When I opened the 'Download Folder' and selected the Adobe Flash Player 11.1, I received this message: Install blocked - for security reasons, your tablet is set to block installation of applications not obtained from Google Play." Now what should I do????

Go to Settings>Security>Device Administration>Unknown Sources and check that box. That should unblock the installation. FWIW, I usually leave that box checked but if you're not comfortable with that, go back and remove the checkmark after you install Flash.

That's because they know you are on a mobile device. It doesn't matter if you install flash or not. They block non pc devices and force you to pay for Hulu Plus. There are work around that involve streaming it through a pc 1st. Look into Plex for that. Works and it's $5 for life.

hey bluzman....thank you. that worked out great for my acer iconia a201 tablet. now I have to get my s3....thanx again.

I have followed your instructions. After downloading I installed it thru the download folder. It then opens up in a browser and gives the settings for local settings and peer assisted network settings, made these settings and closed the browser. I get the same result if I open the app from the apps menu using the flash icon. If I try to play flash I get the no flash player installed. What have I done wrong ? I have a galaxy note 10.1 with jelly bean. File is there and app is there but it will not play flash.

Adobe Flash Player is the standard Flash player that allows you to view media content on the Web using many browsers (Chrome doesn't support Flash and perhaps there are others that don't as well). Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that the implementation for phones and tablets is meant to be a "stand-alone" player.
