You'll recall that the Nokia E90 Communicator recently received a major official firmware update, to v210.34.75, as reported by me here. This brought the E90 into a pretty mature state apart from the fact that Web's Flash integration seemed horribly broken, but only for some people. Read on for my investigation...

Good tip Steve, thanks. Since Flash isn't working on my phone either I'll try this as well on my E90 and post the results here, although I'm not really looking forward to re-installing everything :frown:
My 2 cents for the reasons that this works is that the Flash libraries need to be initialized before you install a lot of third party applications or synchronize your phone with PCSuite for example. With this fix, the first thing you do after the format is checking whether or not Flash works. Since the internal disk is almost almost empty at that time, the libraries get initialized properly. And, since they were initialized properly, Flash will continue working even if you installing lots of other stuff afterwards
If you first install all your third party apps or maybe do a sync using PCSuite and then try to run Flash for the first time, for example by trying to play a video on Youtube, apparently something prevents the libraries from being installed correctly, causing a browser crash.
Hi everyone, I had the same problem with bugs on FL3, hard resetting the phone made it work right. Thanks a lots for the tip.
its intersting to hear that FL3 is able to play videos on YouTube but will it play the streaming content on BBC IPlayer?
Mark.
Yes, this is something I would also like to know.
The screen on the N95 8GB is too low in resolution so BBC iPlayer doesn't really work with it. Since the E90's resolution is considerably higher I think it will probably work. Could you please try it out, Steve?
My 2 cents weren't worth a penny 🙄. It's not the additional stuff that makes the Flash unable to work in the browser.
Like Steve said before: it either works after a reformat or doesn't. In my case after reformatting and rebooting the browser still didn't display Flash content (it crashed as soon as the Flash player got loaded from a Youtube webpage). So I did another *#7370# and after that the browser played the Flash content happily. Now after restoring the backup I made and installing the applications it failed to restore (I wonder when Nokia is going to fix that) Flash content is still playing perfectly in the web browser.
The iPlayer picture is fine - though I tend to run Flash videos 'full screen' anyway. Unfortunately, the BBC's servers don't really pick up on the fact that a phone is being used and the streaming's not properly optimised, meaning that the frame rate is often unwatchable and the sound breaks up from time to time.
Shame really. BBC - please wake up to the fact that S60 phones would like in on the iPlayer action! 8-)

@ Steve. What theme are you using ? It looks really good. I also wonder how you get such a big icon for the Gmail-app, mine is relly tiny.
Theme is PiZero's commercial 'Fire', btw
I can play youtube.com videos, but they are palyed via RelPlayer (when I choose the link, the RealPlayer starts). Is it ok, or they should be played directly in the browser with FlashLite3?
That's probably because you're using the mobile version of Youtube. To play the video in the browser, scroll down in the web browser to the bottom of the screen and select the link for the "desktop version" of Youtube. Works great in the E90 browser.
I checked the Nokia website, but it is still stuck at the old release...
The new firmware is buggy, think first before you upgrade..totally mess up my E90 GPS...now cannot get GPS fix..even in open sky with no blockage at all...:con?
GPS is fine. It's just that you'll have lost your access points with the upgrade. Check your data connection and check that Nokia Maps is using it for Assisted GPS etc.
I'm not sure you're right. After I upgraded my E90 fails to get a fix from time to time. Most of the time it works just fine, but once in - say - five to eight attempts it fails. I can't figure out why, but after a reboot everything is fine again; and fast due to the AGPS.

After the firmware upgrade the phone is by default set to use a-GPS, network GPS, etc...had checked and confirmed the settings are correct...the GPS is definitely buggy, at least it is so on my machine...the problem i had is despite leaving the phone in open space (beach), no buildings or other blockage, all settings correctly set...after 30 minutes, still no fix = it has to be a bug to take 30 minutes and nothing come out..and i realize that at time it will fix and some other time it will not fix at all..it is like the phone has mood in respect of locking in the GPS...Nokia needs to address this instability issue..at least I know somebody above had quite similar experience, that the GPS fails to lock in sometimes..When I used the old 7.40..firmware, I had no problem at all...when i compare my experience with the old firmware and the current firmware, it is obvious to me it is bad news for the GPS..
Hmm.... what do you see for 'Satellite status' in the 'GPS Data' app?
Steve
under satellite status i had squares besides a set of numbers..those squares never expand into bars..
I also found that youtube mobile doesn't work..it launched real player but stuck at downloading and nothing get download. Youtube full version works fine.
Mail for exchange and company directory work fine..but after installing blackberry connect, company directory of mail for exchange cannot launch...
I seem to have a weird problem... after loading the new firmware and doing a hard reboot I have a working Flash lite however when I restore all my stuff from before the firmware update, Flash 3 stops working again!
Any suggestions?
...but when I go to other sites, they always tell me that I don't have the latest flash player. So they gave me a link to adobe and then when I finally enter the site, they told me that they don't have the right software for me. HELP! What should I do? Is my E90 outdated? What happened??? THANKS! 😊
