YouTube or Flash Works Fine on the Nokia N95
November 26th, 2006 • Mark Guim • Filed Under •
David Mannl, a Flash-lite developer, reports that Flash files like YouTube movies will be playable on the upcoming Nokia N95’s web browser. So far none of Nokia’s current phones are capable of running Flash on the browser. This is possible thanks to the Flash-Lite 2.0 that will be included in the new S60 3rd Version Feature Pack 1. This feature will make a lot of people happy. If this holds true, I can see myself spending a lot of time with the Nokia N95 during my boring lectures and during long trips. It also makes this already best-of-what’s-new phone more desirable.

Why cant you just install 'Toggle bluetooth', which would be a much better option than the above procedure. 
Anyone knows if it comes for N95 8gb????

You said that no Nokia phones so far have been able to play Flash… you are actually wrong:
My Nokia 7710 that I had before my E61 that I have right now (see my E61 blog: http://www.jake61.wordpress.com/ ) could play Flash though it was really slow and even froze/restarted sometimes (it was a touchscreen and the touchscreens of the day did that…)
Mark Guim on 4 December 2006:
Hey Jake, were you able to play youtube videos?
matt on 6 December 2006:

I’ve got an n95 and whilst it’ll display a video on youtube, if you click play nothing happens - the cursor simply gets trapped in the video window.
Mark Guim on 19 April 2007:
@tristan thanks for bringing this up. Looks like youtube will only work through video centre.
Gustavo on 24 April 2007:
Guys,
Can I open FLV files downloaded from youtube on may N73? It has a Flash Player and Real Players instaled.
Cheers
Gustavo
Mat on 6 July 2007:
I use windows media recorder to record youtube videos, then use imtoo3gp converter to convert the flv to mp4to play on the N95. Play around with the settings to get optimal outputs, perhaps someone on here can elaborate. or give an alternative
coxy on 9 July 2007:
i wish they would just say how to get my n95 to play you tube at their site, and not have to watch tif limited on video centre. Please tell me how.

I even tried to download the flashlite 2.0 in my Nokia N95, but it says not supported, have no idea what to do.
Mark on 29 August 2007:
I’ve got the same problem i can’t view any videos through my browser on my n95. has anyone got any ideas where to find an update and if one exists.
samy on 24 September 2007:
tinytube.net is a good website to use to watch videos on n95. It converts youtube and other video sites to real player format.

linkstate on 28 February 2008:
Mobitubia is great to play youtube videos on my N95. You can even use m.youtube.com without installing anything.
Alsajee on 10 April 2008:
In m.youtube.com You can watch video
In you tube But I want to play Flv Videos

the site company on 4 May 2008:
I can’t get allot of sites which had flash headers to load on my n95, one site has a flash login form and it just won’t load, it sucks.
quitania aristotle on 22 May 2008:
how can i find a flash plaeyer at my n95 8gb
Dawg on 11 August 2008:
If i remove the flash player thats already on the n95 and install the latest one, will that work for sites like redtube?
jonty on 16 August 2008:
PLEASE READ IF YOU WANT YOU TUBE AND OTHER VIDEOS ON YOUR MOBILE
I just went to Mobitubia.com on my mobile and downloaded the app straight off the site (at the bottom of the page). It is a sick program I highly recomend it. I was having trouble on my n95 8gb… when i went on you tube it would connect, try to load, then say that the server had timed out. Then I downloaded Mobitubia and it works like a chalm
respect to linkstate, for his recomendation
dawg on 17 August 2008:
couldn’t get it to work for redtube, could anyone else?
DAREDAVIL on 20 August 2008:

remenber: EmTube
