Galaxy Nexus arrives without Flash support and bug in the volume

The Nexus Galaxy finally went on sale last week, after much anticipation for the newest Android device with pure. And just like any other phone model that newly arrived in the hands of consumers, it also brought its first batch of compliments and complaints. Two of these complaints seem to be a little more prominent: the lack of support for Adobe Flash and a bug in volume control.


The lack of Flash support should not be surprising, given that the announced Adobe (shortly after the announcement of the Galaxy Nexus for that matter) that would be ending the development of mobile version of Flash, a fact that affects both the Android and the Playbook RIM. Still, the fact that whoever has the Galaxy Nexus can not download or install the Adobe plugin from the Android Market may have picked up some of their owners by surprise.

According to Google, however, is to be expected: they said that the site SlashGear support Flash so it will come to update your Adobe plugin. Even though she has stated it will not do it anymore.

Contradictions aside, the Galaxy Nexus seems to have another problem, this time with the volume control. Some owners report that the device control its own life, remaining completely silent or changing the volume to your liking. One of them posted the video below that shows the actual failure.

The creator of the topic of XDA-Developers that brings together owners of Galaxy Nexuys affected by this failure says that "all signs point to a hardware failure that can lead to a recall," but that sounds a lot like finding a little hasty. For while neither Samsung or Google statements on the subject.
