I want to load an android app for flash player on my Samsung Note III phone. Model SM-N900V Android OS 4.4.2
I read that this is possible. I'm not all that technical so an app I could download and run would be great.
Merry Christmas everyone!!
How about a flash player for an Android phone 4.2.2 also?
go to google play store or the galaxy/notes apps and look for flash app
Goto google play store, type in flash, install. Merry Christmas!
Yes, looking for flash player for Android. Do you have a suggestion?
I’ve got a Galaxy Mega running Android 4.2.2 and still haven’t figured out how to download videos to it so I’ll be 10:10 listening in.
Yes, there are a lot of flash apps. The comments on each seem to vary from ‘this is a great app’ to ‘this is all crap’!
I was hoping to get a recommendation on which to load.
That looks promising. I’ll have to do my homework....
The Macromedia Flash Player was last updated for Android 4.0. It was finally de-listed from Android Market a few months ago...they want to switch to browser based video rendering.
I have a low data plan. I have an app called NO ROOT FIREWALL, It lets you control access (WiFi and cell) for every program on your phone. Its great for stopping spamware from constantly accessing advertising data. It has saved me money.
You could also download the Dolphin Browser from the play store or Amazon app store. Dolphin is flash enabled and when you visit a flash requiring site the first time, it will prompt a download from Adobe and install it for you. I believe the phone had to be rebooted before it would work though.
Two methods that I know of:
1. Go to Google Play Store and download the Puffin browser. It has built-in Flash Player capabilities. You do have to download one plug-in also that costs $.99. $99 cents.
2. This might be the method you’ll see at some of the Youtube links, but Adobe has archived its older FP versions.

Go down to the Adroid section and you will want to use the most recent one, the one at the top of the Android list.
It might be easiest to open a browser on your Note 3 and do a Google search for: Adobe Flash Player Archive. Go to the archive and down to the Android list and pick the top one, then download and install it.
I’ve used the second method on three different Android devices and it works on all three, up to a Kit Kat 4.4.2 software version.
I have also downloaded the Puffin browser and the 99 cent plug-in, but since I already had the last FP android version installed, I’m not sure which is working when I use the Puffin browser.
You might want to try Puffin first just to see how well it works. It’s a good browser and can display Desktop versions of websites. If Puffin isn’t satisfactory, you could try the first method, or both.
Looks like the Flash Player plug-in is free from Puffin until year-end. And then a cost of $1.99 per year. I downloaded about six weeks ago.
Nothing working so far.
I downloaded FlashFox
I loaded the dolphin browser
Followed someone’s youtube instructions
So I don’t know....
Flashfox does work for me. I haven’t used it very much, though.
What sort of media are you trying to play that requires flash player?
A little more information. I’ve dealt with this Flash Player for Android situation since soon after Adobe stopped supporting it. People have been downloading the latest archived version since that time. I have an older Android cell phone (no phone service) I still uses as a mini-tablet with Wifi.
I just uninstalled the archived version of FP I had loaded more than a year ago. Then I went through the steps for the Dolphin browser and downloaded and installed FP from Dolphin. It’s the same version I’d downloaded from the Adobe archives (11.1.115.81). So, Dolphin is just doing for you what some have been doing for more than a year, and what I described in #14. -And it’s working the same.
Puffin browser says their FP is “in the cloud” so you don’t have to download it. But I bet they are all using the last archived verion from Adobe.
It should work in a Note III unless you have a newer Android software version that is no longer compatible with FP software. I’d been concerned about that, but the old FP still works through Kit Kat 4.4.2.
All right, I will uninstall the flash players I have tried and then see if I can duplicate your success.
