no flash support for nexus 7?

[jiwon0522]

The N7 plays flash just fine. Buying an inferior Samsung tab for flash would be a foolish decision IMO.

flash+microSD support are really important for me from a tablet, but yes that would be stupid considering it's $50 more at only dual-core speed, on top of samsung UI.

No SD kinda sucks but I've been getting by with my flash drive.

I use flash in Firefox Beta fine. Just needed to install the Flash 11 apk and restart the browser.

Scope plays better flash, just a tip.

i bought a nexus 7 on the 2nd sept 2012, and yes, i found it would not load flash... i dont want to have to sidedoor, backdoor, root, install apk. install dolphin, whale, tuna, cod, fox. cast a magic spell, pray to whoever --.. i just wanted the thing to work. i did not pay 200 quid for something i have work around to get it to work. i was lucky, the shop (c.p.w.) i got it from gave me a full refund...

I'm sorry that you'd rather get a refund, rather than spending 60 seconds installing an app to make Flash work for you. The rest of us will continue enjoying our N7s with Flash. I'd also note that that Adobe made it quite clear that they were officially ending Android support.

I don't see how installing flash yourself as opposed to already being there is that big of an inconvenience, especially given how easy it is. That's like taking it back because the youtube app wasn't preinstalled.

There's an app that makes flash work with chrome?

flash had already been taken off the market when i bought my tablet, and silly me did not even think of checking such a thing with the shop... i must have missed the memo saying it had been taken off..., i did try firefox, but that did not work either..

Googling "Flash Nexus 7" would have told you how to solve it in a jiffy. Anyways, whatevs.

Have the Nexus 7 and I am running Flash using Firefox Beta and it works really well.

To EJT,

Saw your posts above and wanted to thank you. Your clear instructions were dead on. I simply searched my Nexus's default Google Chrome for the Adobe 11.1 link you provided, downloaded that .apk program to my Nexus and touched the completed program on the download screen. No icons or other indicators that the flash program had actually been installed, but it clearly was. I didn't even need to install firefox or dolphin. Now when I open google chrome, all my flash video's play (after some time downloading) complete with video (and unfortunately also with all the pre-emptive commercials). I don't know why this worked (was this sideloading?), but it clearly did, and my flash video problem is now solved. By the way.....shame, shame, shame on Google. They developed a beautiful, inexpensive tablet (the Nexus 7), then loaded it with their own default browser (Google Chrome), which is clearly aimed at on-line purchasing, then failed to even provide it with a working flash video player......completely ridiculous, insulting, and counterproductive to their mission.....I would fire the bozo's who allowed that to happen. So thank god for the android forum and contributors like EJT...and his Xmas present!!

P.S. I've already jailbroken my iphone 4 and set it up for tethering so now I can use my Nexus 7 to capture my iphone's 3g data stream when I'm away from any WiFi sources.....and that also works beautifully. Finally, I downloaded "Photo Transfer App" to both my Nexus 7 (free, from google maps) and to my iphone ($2.99 from the apple app store) and the two programs beautifully sync my iphone and my nexus to my home WiFi, allowing me to use my iphone's cameras to take picture, then transfer them easily and wirelessly to my Nexus 7 for large screeen viewing, editing, e-mailing etc. Now I feel completely vindicated in buying my first android device (the Nexus 7) instead of supporting another one of Apple's monster monopolies, i.e. the ipad. And so far, no need yet to root, unlock, or brick either my iphone or my nexus. Goooo Android!!!!
