Flash is not a Kobo situation... it is Adobe that is no longer supporting it on Android as of the Ice Cream Sandwich OS. I had to install Flash Player from the same location (Flash Player archives) as was given in this thread a while back for my Samsung tablet and phone.

Wow! We are supposed to do all this? Our Kobo Arc should have come with an app like Flash. Where are Faisal Abed and Kobo Robin? We shouldn’t have to spend all this time figuring things out. I did find the free book that I got from the Google play store but I can only read it there. Although on google.com they say: Keep on device. To ensure that your book will remain available for offline reading, tap the box next to "Keep on device" to check it. I haven’t come across that box yet. |

If software shows up in the play store on our device and yet it does not work when installed, that is the software developers problem. Our hardware on ICS is not the only one with this issue, i believe this to be a main reason google no longer supports flash. |

I wonder if the time might have come to stop adding to this omnibus thread on the Arc and instead get smaller, more directed threads going?

Answers.This thread started with the question, "where are all my Arc people", can we ask where are all our Kobo people. This is a new product and as good as it appears to be there is surprisingly very little information available on it and this forum is the only real place of conversation about it. the people who do have it are trying to answer as best they can considering they are still learning it themselves.If the employees taking part at the moment are only able to as time permits due to other responsibilities then perhaps Kobo needs to look at having a dedicated team to monitor and respond to questions on various forums especially in the early adoption period. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1912330 the one thread i found on XDA which iirc is the biggest forum for mobile platforms. i'm actually looking forward to what the future brings for the Arc as its owner Rakuten wll be looking to it to be the answer to Amazons Kindle HD. |

until i get to open my own arc best best i can suggest is click on this link within your own arc browser look down the first post till you see the series of flash players build numbers and click on 11_11_1_115_34 and install it. this is the most recent update for flash and is running fine on my onex. this was an ota update via the google playstore. hope it helps |

Most video sites have switched to html5 for videos to solve this problem. Again, I don't work for Adobe so I can't get flash to work for you. xda forums is a GREAT site to find out information on these types of subjects. |

When someone asks 'How do i turn off discovery' i respond you can't. I am not going to engage in multiple threads about why it sucks or not. I cannot help people having connection problems with windows. I am not customer service, I don't even have a PC to replicate the issues. What I can do is talk to users and answer questions about the product and take notes on how people would like to see Tapestries evolve. JD has been great in helping users on this forum and I applaud all of that work. That said, there has been times where I have stepped in to clarify some points. Again, we are here as users and fans of Kobo. We are in no way being asked to do this. I hope people understand. |

Good afternoon everyone
I have bought a Kobo Arc 16Gb a month ago and I had an issue with it, I asked a refund since I wanted to buy a 32Gb one (in the end, 16Gb is not much) and I am going to buy it for Christmas. I would just like to know if anyone had had this issue with his Kobo Arc: Any time I launch an app, load a web page, turn a page in a book, wait for a video to launch I get an annoying electronic-type noise (like a bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz). It was very slight but very annoying when reading / surfing at night in my bed. |
