Update : Yeah Youtube videos are supported in Latest Firmware For nokia N95. After restarting the phone couple of times, now I can watch youtube videos on the browser itself. Exploring more
.. Symbian guru has the video proof.. N95 rocks
Yeah it was my new year present to myself
, I finally ended up buying Nokia N95 8gb. It came with a two year warranty and SpiderMan 3 full movie. I was trying to get a hang of it with loads of extra features compared to my Nokia N93. Larger Screen 2.8 inch screen , 6.5 gb of free memory (yeah i found only 6.5 gb free as nearly 1gb was captured by Spiderman) , black glossy sexy looks , an improved 5 mp camera and many more. Today when I completed installing all the drivers, and PC suit, i got the information popping up about a new firmware update available for N95 8gb.
I was surprised, and quickly searched the internet about the change log. Well, I got a nifty little information over all about symbian that it now supports the normal desktop version of youtube and some speed boost. Since, the phone was pretty new and the phone memory almost empty, there was no harm in updation, and also testing the new browser capability was getting me excited.
Firmware update reset the phone into factory settings. So in order to check the browser capability, I just logged in into Youtube desktop version(using wifi connection), and tried to play a video but it didnt work.
I got the message
“Either Javascript is switched off, or you are running an old version of flash player” (javascript was enabled)
Well, as posted in all about sybian , the latest firmware updates the browser and embeds adobe flash lite 3 . But youtube video doesnt work for me. I wonder whether I have to install any software to make it work in the browser ?? Any suggestions ??
Is there a phone that can show flash based websites in its browser? and does 95 do this job?
Yeah after firmware updation nokia n95 browser is supporting flash on websites. Now this phone is even more appealing and fulfilling the concept of All in One mobile.

yes, the only reason why I was inconvenient in mobile browsers was the flash integration. Most sites which use flash in them were not supported. I was waiting for Adobe guys to do this for a while. Though they promised this months before it has just come out.
Meanwhile how about playing flash games on websites. For example the miniclip site? I dont think it can be that easy for a mobile to render all kind of flash works.
This info brings me some fear to my business, running a mobile game development company. Anyway lets see what happens.
@smackall, Yeah the sites like miniclip and addictinggames do open but you wont be able to play any game coz the flash game s doesnt identify the key strokes. Also the flash game doesnt not resize according to the screen size, so its like impossible to play such game there, but i am not sure of the future.
But still flash game cant compete with dedicated gaming..isnt it ??
@Kanak
Flash games cannot compete with dedicated games, yes. But developing a game and delivering it to the devices which is a very big hurdle in mobile gaming will become much easier in such case. As developers dont have to depend on the service providers for billing and content delivery.
This reason can have a big effect in the market, I guess.
@smackall , i totally agree, when i was trying to play the flash game , it downloaded nearly 1 to 3mb data for a flash game. Moreover it was just a waste of time coz, the game anyway didnt work. Mobile keystrokes didnt get recognized.
I’ve got the similar problem with yours before…After i update my phone firmware to 15, still cant play youtube and i got the same message as yours…Would you please tell me what to do? Thank you
@christopher,
The only reason I think it happen is when you have a slow internet connection. Seems like N95 has some problem with wifi ( not sure though ) , so when your internet speed on phone is not up to the mark , its giving that message , else its working fine . Hope this helps
I tried on youtube mobile and it works perfectly fine. Cant play on normal youtube tough. Thank you for your response anyway.
yeah youtube mobile works fine. I have noticed that youtube normal version doesnt work when i use a slow connection, so i just guessed it as a reason. Anyway, you can try emtube linked below in pingbacks, this could be best youtube viewing software you can actually get.
cheers !!
