I just got a brand new Android tablet and was excited to try out Skritter, which was one of the main reasons I got it. Unfortunately I cant seem to get it to work.

The study page comes up OK, but my finger just drags the page around, rather than write anything. I have an Asus Transformer Prime running Honeycomb and Flash 11. Is there some secret to get it to work?

It sounds like you haven't tapped on the writing area to focus flash. Try single and double tapping the flash area and then trying to write.

Also, is it saying "Tap to focus Flash"? If not, what is your user agent string on the tablet?

Wow, I couldn't get it to work at all yesterday, but today it worked right off the bat. This was the first time I saw the "Tap to focus Flash" message though, and I was tapping like a madman yesterday.

Cool I have my fingers crossed it keeps working, thanks!

Here's my agent string
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.0.3; en-us; Transformer Prime TF201 Build/IML74K) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Safari/534.30

I have exactly the same problem since I upgraded my phone (also ice cream sandwich).

My agent string:
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.0.3; en-us; GT-I9000 Build/GINGERBREAD) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30

What's with all these delicious-sounding platform names? Honeycomb, Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich...I'm getting hungry...

mats, does it work if you add ?android=true to the end of the URL?

If so, then I'll try to see what's not working with that user agent.

Now it works, even without adding something to the URL. I was already worried that I have to downgrade my phone again after trying 4 different browsers...

Thanks for you help, now I can study again on the way to work :-)

here's my user agent string:

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_3; en-us; Silk/1.0.13.81_10003810) AppleWebKit/533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/533.16 Silk-Accelerated=true

I think I found the solution, which I posted in another thread:

found this on the amazon website:

*** The "Enable plug-ins" setting in the browser settings has been changed to "Enable Flash." The Flash default is "Off" but if you'd like Flash to be turned on, it's easy to do - simply go to Silk settings and select "Enable Flash."***

so it seems that if you are having trouble on the Kindle browser, make sure that you go and change these new default settings, esp. if this problem is relatively new, as this was part of a January 18th update.
