Installing / upgrading from Flash 10.1 to Flash 11 in Android. How may I do that?

Hello,

I got my new tablet, and I am having problems to browse facebook. I can browse it perfectly, but I cannot see the videos of the walls, it says I need a flash upgrade and that I must press over the video to jump to the adobe website, to detect my operating system and browser.

Okay.

I do that, and it says I have a Mac OS X

That is not true!!! I have Android 2.2 !!!

So it is clear the automatic recognition don't work at all and I have to install the new Flash 11.

Okay... I am very confused about this, and I want to do this safely.

First doubt, where may I get the original Adobe Flash APK file with Flash 11 ?

There are a lot of websites that provide APK in a doubtful manner... and well, I'd rather prefer to enter in an official place from Adobe, and download Flash from there. But without automatic recognitions, I just want to download Flash 11 for Android.

How may I do that?

THIS TABLET DON'T HAVE ANDROID MARKET SUPPORT, so I cannot get the APK file from Market.

There are many many tablets that don't support market, and they also need flash to browse the web.

Second doubt... do I need a specific version of Flash for my browser?

How may I know what browser I have installed? I tried to verify this in my tablet and I have no idea of how to do that?

My tablet is this:

I really would appreciate your help with this.

Thanks

According to the link you provided, that tablet supports Flash 10.1

To enable it to support Flash 11, a firmware upgrade will be required. I don't see one in the Downloads section, but there are a few User Manuals there. I would suggest downloading the one for your tablet and searching through that. If you don't get any joy, go back to the store where you bought it from and maybe they'll be able to help you.

Here's the Adobe support article for Android 2.2 in case it's of any use to you: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/860/cpsid_86018.html

A firmware update?

Why is not possible to update my flash player 10.1 as the other applications? when I update other applications I don't need a firmware update.

Why a firmware update?

???

You have to get it from the Android market according to this site: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2133314/adobe-flash-player-111-brings-ice-cream-sandwich-support


So seems to be for some POLITICAL REASON Adobe forces you to download it from the Market?

Okay, let's imagine I can get the Adobe Flash Player 10.3 APK file from other ways.

To install it? should I uninstall first Adobe Flash Player 10.1? or is not necessary?
