Is this possible? I have a GalaxyS3 but can't watch any amazon videos on my phone. Is there a work around?

Dolphin has disabled flash plugin by default (on ICS+ devices), you can do into the Dolphin data directory and delete a preference file to re-enable it, or you can try using Maxthlon Browser, it has flash enabled by default.

This is probably the main reason I'm not buying movies from Amazon. Seems incredibly stupid for Amazon to not make it's video streaming app available on the largest mobile OS platform.

Guess Amazon doesn't want me to buy movies from them that badly.

Maxthlon should work by default? I'm not getting that on my phone. I'll try the dolphin trick in a bit, thanks. Hope something works!

No flash support is a joke that has completely kept apple devices out of my interest. Now the lack of flash on ICS+ is just as bad. I hate adobe overall but flash is still REALLY IMPORTANT, even if performance has never been 'great' on mobile devices.

Seriously, just try the TwitchTV android app and you'll see why I'm so pissed flash no longer works on my phone the way it used too...

Flash works fine on my S4, just as it worked fine on my GNex... Just sideload from the official Adobe site, and load the appropriate browser. I believe Firefox is the most prominent browser that supports it.

Maxthon and UC browser both work well with Flash. I settled with UC browser which has a built-in downloader for Flash clips.

It's not stupid and it is intentional. They want you to buy the Kindle Fire.

Downloading the apk pack doesnt work for me. I'm guessing it's my rom. I'll try a new one when I get around to it. Thanks for the suggestions!

Umm... no. Flash was never designed to be used on a mobile device. People asking for it are kidding themselves. It's a terrible experience. :|
