[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fliplyricist1:
Ugh.

Just got my shiny new 920 a few days back. What a beauty she is. Tested out the camera/vid function (which was one of my primary reasons for upgrading my Atrix to this) and it was just as advertised.

Then I immediately hop onto one of my favorite websites. To be greeted with the dreaded blank video box. No biggie, right? Just head over to the apps store like my old android and download...end of problem. Wrong.

So digging deeper, it appears Windows Mobile 8 may never, ever get a flash driver, even in future releases. This irks me to no end. Over in the android world, there are numerous workarounds which allow you to view any website in its entirety, while taking advantage of the phones' improved hardware. But looks like Microsoft is pretty adamant in its course to not only withhold flash in all future releases, but PREVENT its users from implementing it.

The odd thing is, there are like 2 apps in the store that will actually somehow play flash streams from a list of predefined websites...but do not work on other, user selected websites. So there 'has' to be a workaround here, since it appears there is limited success?

My question is: since I have 14 days to return this thing to att for an exchange, does anyone on here foresee flash functionality hitting win mobile 8 as a fully functioning hack similar to android in the not-too-distant future? Or am I holding out hopes for an absolute lost cause?

Thank you for your feedback!

I don't think you'll find flash support being added, it's all changing to html5, I think that's the right term, even on newer androids now flash support has been dropped.

Thanks much for the reply

Oh, I am not questioning Adobe's stance on the matter regarding phasing out support for all mobile devices.

However, fact remains that the Android OS still has full flash support available from 3rd party hacks or apks (even for the latest android devices), while it seems like basically nothing is available for Windows 8. It probably has a lot to do with the less users on this platform, and how amazingly tough Microsoft has made it to root or customize their platform.

I know the shift in the future will be towards html5, but that still does not discount the fact that majority of the websites (especially ones that are not huge or particularly mainstream) are currently on flash and will be on flash for awhile. And users not being able to visit and enjoy the content 'they' want seems to be yet another form of limiting and censorship that I do not particularly agree with.

Oh, and I don't buy the vulnerability excuse either. Your have a better chance of getting a virus through an email. So does that mean emailing should be eliminated altogether? It's all about the user visiting/opening trusted sites and being educated.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fliplyricist1:
Windows phone 8. I think you know what I'm referring to, seeing what forum this is posted in. Sorry for the 'technicality.'
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevieBallz:
If you look at the statistics at the moment you will rather catch a bug through Flash, Adobe reader or some other Plugin than through the browser itself or an e-mail - at least you rarely have drive-by-downloads.

There won't be Flash in IE10 as the mobile version simply has no plugin-support whats-o-ever. The Flash support in those Apps seems to isolate the Video stream in a way customized for each website and then play that through the regular video capability - that's also why it won't work that way on all websites.

The only reason why the community is able to keep Flash alive for Android is that there actually is an implementation of Flash (albeit an old one) but there has never been one for WP7/WP8 so the basis for creating something like this is completely different.

In the end: you won't see Flash support on WP8 anytime soon and given that Flash is not actually a favorite of the development community I don't see people putting much effort into creating an alternative either.

Every time someone gripes about the lack of flash support I instantly assume they frequent porn sites on their phone.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radeon_x:
Ah, the old "it doesn't matter to me, therefore it doesn't matter to you" stance. Whenever I see that I instantly assume you're a ****.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poecifer:
Well, it's just that it's severely outdated and buggy stuff. The point of the higher quality operating systems is to eliminate those kind of problems so why introduce one yourself?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radeon_x:
I wouldn't argue with that (and neither would Adobe, clearly). And I also can't fault Microsoft for not including it in a new OS.

But. There is going to be a transition period where web sites transition away from Flash... and it's not going to happen overnight. There are still quite a few web sites that rely on Flash for proper operation (and no, I'm NOT talking about porn sites). So until the web at large catches up with the times, there is still a bit of a gap for users who can't display Flash. Some users may be affected by it, others not.

I just don't think it's fair to say Flash is useless and completely unnecessary right now - because that's really not the case. At the same time, buying a WP8 device and complaining about a lack of flash is a bit ignorant if nothing else.

[ROM][ODIN]Odin One-Clicks(AT&T, ROGERS, TELUS, BELL, SASKTEL, TELCEL, KOODO, PCT)

This is a set of Odin One-Click Packages. If you're unfamiliar with these, it is the factory firmware loaded in a compacted version of odin and flashing is executed in a single click. No need to check boxes, or worry about what slots to load etc. Although these have been confirmed working, I do not own this version of the s3 so these have not been tested by me. They're packed in self-extracting 7z archives. They will not affect your flash count. Every device has a rooted version. Most have an unrooted version as well. If yours does not its because I damn near got carpel tunnel making these and my hands needed a break. Unrooted versions will be up soon.

Windows PC with Samsung Drivers installed is required.

Shouldn't be any problems but I am not responsible for any that may arise.

DOWNLOAD FOR AT&T

Thanks a lot I could not find that anywhere. That gave me a quick heart attack I usually go from TW to CM and I stay there but CM 10.1 is not very stable right now so i wanted to give TW a shot.

BTW, do you know if this stock version is 4.x for telus. I can only find 4.1.1 for telus and not higher just wondering if this compiled version is higher than 4.1.1 and I could not test it as I flashed another version of TW from another thread thinking I had a corrupted file or something.

Great work BTW

I haven't got my Nexus 4 yet but I saw mixed comments made here and there that enabling LTE will result in GPS unable to lock at all.

What is your experience? Google Map still works with accurate location reporting? Google Now working or not?

What did you set the LTE to? LTE/GSM/CDMA? or LTE only? etc

Maybe indicate which provider you are with, looks like it is also a factor to consider.

Post your results, comment and lets tabulate the information.

[Nexus 4 General] comminus:
I just went to a Bell store and picked up an LTE sim for $5. After I received the phone I went to mybell.ca and transferred the service to the new sim - took less than 5 mins.
[Nexus 4 General] Matt1408:
GPS works perfectly fine. It is the cell tower location that doesn't work!

Go into your settings and disable GPS and Wifi and try going to Maps and you shouldn't get a location.

This has been discussed greatly in the LTE thread.

- *#*#INFO#*#* Phone Settings shows an Unknown under location and no neighbouring CID

- Since there is no location, Google Now fails to load properly

- HSPA establishes all locations as it should. Check *#*#INFO#*#* again
[Nexus 4 General] morrislee:
What is the real problem for Google Now? cant it get the location from GPS directly?
[Nexus 4 General] Matt1408:
That's that I think. If you open Maps with GPS on, then get a lock in. The location will save into your cache or whatever. So if you open Google Now right after it will grab your location.
[Nexus 4 General] kaiser_tytnii:
If you use the build.prop method and never touches your APN setting you will be fine after master reset. (Except rogers and fido cos they have different APN for lte)
[Nexus 4 General] morrislee:
Wouldnt you need to add the APN for Bell too? I do know for a fact that Bell's HSPA and LTE share the same APN, but is the APN built into the stock ROM already?

so no one else is having issues with the gps when they are on LTE?

i'm on rogers in toronto... when i set preferred network to any of the LTE network settings my gps fails, gps works fine when its set to the default WCDMA preferred.

I added these lines to build.prop in the flashable zip file's build.prop's end:

telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1
ro.telephony.default_network=9
ro.ril.def.preferred.network=9

Factory reset the phone, and then flash the zip and gapps. in the Settings -> System -> Notification drawer -> Widget buttons

you can find LTE button there.

Once LTE is toggled, it hops on to LTE after a delay, it stays on HSPA+ first for about good 15-30 seconds before it shows full 4G and LTE in the settings.

Google Now works most of the time like this, but if you stay on LTE for too long, the location cache gets reset, Google Now wont get location until you go back to HSPA+

what does the "9" represent? is that LTE/GSM or LTE/CDMA?
