Okay so I live in Canada and recently got the Rogers update for KitKat on my HTC ONE. For the most part I am happy with the update except two issues that I have noticed. Please note I am on Stock with no Root.
1. I lost my Flash support in my browser. I used to love being able to have flash in my stock HTC browser I hate that it is gone. Is there any way to get this back? Some one mentioned that another browser from the app store may support it. Does anyone know which one and also is there a way to get it back on the stock browser?
2. My MuraCast is now broken. Before I used to Muracast to my iview Muracast Dongle which would work with slight lag...Now once I connect it keeps disconnecting like after 5 seconds and I can no longer get a stable connection it just keeps disconnecting. You would think Muracast would work better not worse under 4.4
Anyone else see these issues. Are there other things you do not like about 4.4?

Yesterday I upgraded my Tab to ICS 4.0.4 a total of 157MB update which apparently seemed cool and a bit faster but has plenty of problems...
1. It does not play any video's in browser e.g. from youtube or daily montion, etc... (I even tried dolphin HD but still same) seems like some plugin
2. Browser crashes plenty of time
3. Some Apps stuck while loading.
If there's any solution to it please post, i really appreciate your concern.
Or shall i downgrade to older version but how???
I think n°1 has to do with the fact that Flash Player is not supported anymore from Adobe. So you won't be able to play those videos ever again my friend, sorry to say so.
As for the others, I don't have a clue.
However, could you consider this message from isi : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30852516&postcount=117 ?

First things first you probably should have not posted this in dev, This a General Question, so probably should have gone their or posted in the ICS update thread. :good:
On issue number two and three, have a look at logcat, ie the log of how thinks work in android. You view your log by installing Android SDK.
Then go to command prompt and cd to folder of where you installed the \SDK Folder\platform-tools
type: adb logcat
it will output a lot of text, look for errors regarding the app that is not loading. Best would probably to output text into a file and opening the file.
like this:
adb logcat >> logcat.txt
After a few second press ctrl-c
Then open with a decent texteditor, not Notepad, like Notepad++

Thanks Danny,
If you want and are willing you can go back to stock 3.21 by first flashing 3.01 via ODIN, you know how to use ODIN?, if not let us know we can help, then update to 3.2.1 then root. Then wait for update again which should happen immediately I guess then fellow my instructions in post mentioned by Danny. Everybody here would be extremely grateful. :laugh:

After upgrading my HTC One from 3.4 to 4.4.2 I am missing flash support in the HTC browser. I know the workaround using Dolphin of FF, but I prefer the HTC browser.
My question is: Do you think it is possible to extract the 4.3 browser´s apk (and obex file?) and to install it on an HTC One running 4.4.2.
Is there a chance to get flash support back this way?
Thanks for your opinion,
Randolph

not possible 4.3 app will not work in 4.4.2
If your problem is flash then install flash apk from internet then open browser settings tick on enable flash

But this is exactly my problem! But after updating from 4.3 to 4.4.2 I can not find this checkbox to enable flash in the HTC browser on my HTC One M7... It is missing -
Do you think I have installed the wrong flash apk?
I installed the package recommended for Dolphin Browser but it is not recognized in htc browser - definitly no checkbox to enable flash...
Any chance to get this fixed? How did you get flash running - what .apk did you use??
Thanks in advance,
Randolph
By the way, the top-bar on your screenshot looks nice and interesting and different to mine: data rate, htc logo, power percentage - but no battery icon...
Flash player version see pic
Border color all stuff after sense 6 update
Battery icon hide by sense 6 toolbox
HTC logo is just notifications of get started data rate sense 6 toolbox

Thank you for the hint! I finally found this version on Adobe website, I installed it, an the checkbox for enabling Flash reappeard...
BUT Flash is still not working in HTCs stock browser (I checked "Flash Settings App" and some websites
Is flash working on your HTC One? What site?
My HTC Oneis:
Android 4.4.2 Kernel-Version 3.4.10-gc35527f
HTC Sense 5.5
SW: 4.20.111.21 CL324876
HTC SDK API 5.69
Send me a link which you wanna test
from HTC One
Really too bad, that HTC stock browser displays the flash checkbox, but doesnot play flash ...
Flash will be around for some years and the kick it off portabel devices.
I presume, there seems to be no generic solution to bring back flash without switching to an other nrowser like Boat, Dolph or Forefox...
Anyway thanks for help & testing

Don't think you can get flash player working in Chrome on Android.
If you need flash in browser, try FlashFox browser, you can find it in Google Play, works for me.

All working with Dolphin Browser + apk from here https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
Download the Flash APK from Adobe's website and use a browser other than Chrome. Firefox has Flash support last I checked, though the recent security scare may have changed that.
Chrome does not have Flash support in Android, at all, so you'll need something else.
I used the latest dolphin and jet pack and found the new mediafire link for the hacked flash and Im still getting just blank windows on forums where video should be .
Did the work around fail or summit ?
Same issue with me.
Ok , let me rephrase the question then . Does anyone with a SM-n910t have working flash ?? I just came from V13firekat 4.4.4 and the dolphin I installed long ago had flash embeded in the dolphin " lab " on the speed dial page and now the lab doesnt show up in dolphin apps on the speeddial page .
If you use Firefox beta from the play store it will work just google search adobe flash archives that is what I did ones you have to app on your phone it works

Hello, have you ever downloaded Adobe Flash Player on your phone? If your phone had it, then just make sure that flash setting in Dolphin Browser is on. For more details, click here :https://dolphinbrowser.desk.com/cus...ble-the-flash-player-in-android-4-0-?b_id=317
I use Firefox and it's the only browser that I can get to work 100% I go to a few pirate sites to watch sports and mma.... And all of the videos use flash and they ask work perfectly with Firefox browser
Yea. Confirmed flash is installed. Firefox nor dolphin work.
