    Hi folks,

    Got the aforementioned tablet recently, has been serving me well. One fairly minor issue is that, in the default browser, whenever there are images, it has a Lego type block with a question mark on it. Also, YouTube bids have a green arrow pointing down. Does anybody know how to sort this out? I've been looking at flash players and plugins, but can't see anything.

    Cheers if you can sort it out for me,

    Mushy

    Hmm

    Try custom ROM and flash an unlocked bootloader,Flexreaper/Lightspeed/Thor ROM would be prefered choice

    You need to install Flash Player & enable it in the browser settings.

    Its no longer available on the market, so you'll need to find it elsewhere... Macromedia have it on their site.

    The green down-arrow usually means that flash videos are set to load on demand. does anything happen when you press the video?

    Alternatively, try Opera mobile and see of you can get flash to work there.

    No nothing ever happened when clicking that arrow. Have just downloaded dolphin browser, but when went onto full boards site the problem was the same. Seems like its just a pile of crap.

    Couldn't find any flash player that would download.

    Are you running Android ICS 4.0 or JB 4.1?

    You need to download and install the Flash.apk it should be available from Adobe's website.

    The easiest way to play flash videos is to enable them to load automatically in your browser rather than 'on demand'. Depending on what version of android and hence what version of each browser you're using the exact steps will differ slightly.

    Shouldn't be too much trouble to fix it for you. If you run in to trouble let us know :)
