Miren.

There is a setting to only show images over wifi; I greatly appreciate that option.

You can also change what folder your downloads go into.. another useful feature..

You will want to trash the default rss feeds that are running by default in Miren..

Ymmv.. I really like it.

Dolphin for me
[Fascinate General] rand4ll:
I used to use dolphin, but opera mobile with a desktop user agent is by far the smoothest and fastest I've used yet
[Fascinate General] chefthomas99:
I'm a Skyfire guy.
[Fascinate General] tripacer99:
I just tried out miren after experimenting with all the browsers suggested so far, and this is BY FAR my favorite. Very smooth and fast, but it's a shame it hasn't been updated in awhile.
[Fascinate General] CPCisHere:
I like the standard android browser.
[Fascinate General] saps:
I always use the stock browser, its always been good enough for me
[Fascinate General] joe_knowitall:
Stock browser works super fast for me.dolphin hd deleted.
[Fascinate General] Dj-Dubster_TN:
Boat browser mini, seriously the fastest broswer I have ever used

[Fascinate General] JWFokker:
Opera works the smoothest and most consistently. Best page rendering too. Xscope handles what Opera can't, though page layout is wonky sometimes. Firefox is slow. Wasn't impressed by Dolphin or Miren. Not much better than stock really.

MIUIWiz 1.0 ROM - OTB Reloaded 1.5 TW kernel - EB01 radio - XDA App
[Fascinate General] PeterGunz:
After reading this thread, I decided to give Opera a try. Couldn't decide between the Mini and Mobile, and after using it for a short time I still can't tell the difference. Except that Mini is much faster, but most Opera users in this thread seem to prefer Mobile to Mini. Anybody mind explaining what makes Opera Mobile their browser of choice over Mini?

Update : Wow. Loving Opera. Opera mini is so fast when I want to open a quick link from twitter.

Opera mobile, while slower, handles great. Might take this over Miren.
[Fascinate General] JeezyMT3G:
Any one tryd Netfront Life Browser V2 ? omg Opera who? Lol that's all I have to say ....I'm on stock froyo and its FAST! !! Give it a try :)
[Fascinate General] eibbed0001:
The same for me. I've tried most of the ones mentioned here and like the simplicity of Miren. I don't do much streaming video on my phone so I can't say how Miren is with that but I have a few other browsers on my phone for when I want them; Dolphin HD, stock, Firefox, Miren, Opera Mini, Skyfire.

I don't remember if I tried Dolphin Mini but I've tried the regular one. I may try the Mini version and see what that's like.

Edited to add that I'm trying Dolphin Mini but don't see how I can import my bookmarks...

Another edit to add that I liked that Dolphin Mini sized the page by default so you could read it without zooming in. Miren didn't do that for me but I just checked the settings and unchecked the box for "Panorama mode" and now it does it like Dolphin Mini. I like that.
[Fascinate General] streebs87:
I've been using Dolphin Mini. No complaints so far.
[Fascinate General] JoeProcopio:
stock, i use the location stuff all the time to find stuff on the road
[Fascinate General] Scrappy1:
I've been pretty happy using opera mobile but have one annoyance. I set a custom user agent to be same as stock browser. This way cnn.com, news.Google.com, and gameloft.com all look correct in mobile version.

However, when doing a Google search with built in search box, the results take an oddly long time to come back, and search results are formatted way too wide for screen.

Anyone know a way around this?
[Fascinate General] Dueling Chainsaws:
Dolphin HD here. However, with all its praise, I want to try out Opera now. I would also Like to know what the differences of Mobile and Mini are.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elixir911911:
Alright guys not trying to start another "I heard" thread but I read some upsetting news today.....it seems the community is going to begin to dwindle.....maybe not for us specifically but more for some of the newer phone models... I took some interest in the Droid bionic today and so I decided to go look at the thread for it.....under the general topic there was a discussion about Verizon beginning to crack down on root users. This is due mainly to the theft of services (WiFi tether). This crack down will mean Verizon completely locking down the bootloader and making phones unrootable. Theyre even going as far as to back this up with network locks. If your new device isn't verified on there network with an unrooted Rom, they will potentially lock down your service so you can't use your phone for anything essentially. Now as of right now it appears that they are focused mainly on new devices and they aren't so worried with us. I can completely understand why they would want to stop the theft of this service but at the same time this news comes as a bummer. How long will it be until Verizon locks down root altogether? And this isn't even just Verizon but rather a joint venture across multiple carriers. I don't know how to link but go look it up if youre interested guys. It's under Droid bionic general. I don't know how to take this information....but anyways let's get some input rolling here. What do you guys think about this? And better yet anyone think its gonna affect our devices at some point?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fergusonfox7:
Hey man, I can honestly say that I think this is complete bull! Haha. Why would they take away the boot loader?? Thats aa main trouble shoot tool in its self, and if this does happen. I highly doubt that it would stop root. We would be able to get past it. :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elixir911911:
Read the thread....even if they do get around it there will be back ups that will kill service to any rooted device. Idk if this is true but its interesting
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACD168:
We have wayy too many smart devs to let this happen. I'm not worried
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
This is a rumor from ONE source. People have been getting all upset over this but until anything actually happens, it's just that. A rumor.

Besides, if Verizon is worried about people tethering for free, it would make more sense to charge for data on a tiered level like they're probably going to start doing anyway.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
Wild rumors and speculation based on forum posts, which link back to other forum posts, which link to other forums.... which eventually circle back to one guy who doesn't provide any back-up for his claims.

The original panic started here:

http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...otloaders-rooting-manufacturers-carriers.html

Can we please restore some sanity to the community? Will people please stop panicking based on a bunch of "I heard..." and vague references to unnamed, unconfirmed sources?

Am I saying that this is impossible? No. But as intelligent adults, should we not demand a higher burden of proof than vague references to "multiple channels"? If there really are multiple channels that can confirm this vast conspiracy, why hasn't it broken as a reputable news story anywhere? One dude cracked the case, but no one else can corroborate it or cite anything?

This is claimed to be an effort to crack down on unauthorized tethering. If that is the goal, what seems more likely?

1. The claim that "Multiple carriers were working collaboratively on a program that would be able to identify rooted users and create a database of their meids."

or

2. Phone companies will just start phasing out unlimited data in favor of tiered plans

Given that we're already seeing #2 happen on some carriers, I'll put my money on that.

Of course, people love David and Goliath stories, so I doubt these rumors will ever die, just like the Placebo Throttle Remover will never die.

Yea, maybe all the phone companies have gotten together and are developing super secret methods of tracking us down. And maybe the Reverse Vampires are involved. And the Masons.

The original panic rumor claims that these things are already happening. For example:

"More than one major carrier besides Verizon has implemented this program and that all carriers involved had begun tracking rooted phones. All carriers involved were more than pleased with the accuracy of the program."

Sooooooo..... if it's already happening, there should be some evidence, right?

P.S. - I have heard from multiple sources that XDA is going to start tracking members by injecting code into any attachment that is placed on this forum. I've confirmed it through multiple channels. No, I can't be any more specific than that: I hope you understand. After all, this is top secret information... I can't just go tossing it around. It's a vast conspiracy, but they've managed to keep it completely bottled up.

Don't believe me!?!? Well, just wait until it happens to youuuuuuuu!!!!! (Scary music)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
byrong, thank you!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elixir911911:
Damn dude.....just trying to put some discussion into this topic. Ouch. I understand and preface this with not trying to start another I heard thread.....I wasn't trying to instill panic in anyone. No need to write up an essay and a half of flame. Simply giving some discussion topic.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnyp1:
I believe a thread about this was discussed a few weeks ago and closed. I dont believe it will happen snyways
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elixir911911:
I don't necesarilly believe it will happen but is it plausible? yes....You can't deny that major carriers and development teams have more knowledge, experience, and capability then ANY developer on xda. Look at the past. Apple actually brought out a lawsuit trying to keep people from jailbreaking devices. So while we may all sit around and laugh at the idea and while it is just a bunch of hear say at this point, it is definitely plausible. And i do agree that it may just be easier to do tiered data plans, but then that kind of screws over verizon's customers who actually pay for tether. So you can kind of understand why they wouldn't want to continue to move on that route. Both options are viable and neither of them appears to be any sort of threat right now. As stated above, right now it's just a bunch of threads linking back to other threads linking back to other threads. And I don't know how much there is to believe about it but none the less it definitely could happen....:( But hopefully nothing will happen....I mean come on manufacturers hardly keep their devices up to date...2.3 has already been dropped on how many devices and we're still waiting for it. People are on to sense 3.0 and we still have 1.0 on our stock rom. If they decide to kill the independent dev community then they better start dropping crazy updates with extremely customizable roms. It just seems like too much work that would ultimately end in manufacturers and providers losing money. Sooo ya. probs not gonna happen
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnyp1:
If people didnt abuse tether, it wouldnt be an issue. So much free wifi, i cant think of last time i tethered. I also actually pay for internet at hone, yet i know several who tether for home internet.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illinicj:
Verizon would be foolish to do this. People are attracted to their service due to the freedom of android...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DustinBooyah:
It's not a flame, it's just the truth... There really is not a whole lot to be concerned about. It's out of our control so whatever happens happens, we'll have to deal with it when it shows up, IF it shows up. But why be so concerned about it?

Having said that, as far as rooting goes, they SHOULD embrace developers and allow us to use our roms and stuff legally... but I think that there is stuff set in writing and signatures that are still in effect for the time being. I see them never allowing us to root, but compromising by letting us set our own defaults and not having to use their proprietary carrier BS eventually. Whatever we make our phones into (right now) creates a market, and where there's a market there's money. We'll either have the perfect phone or the option to make the perfect phone, just like we can buy the perfect PC or make the perfect PC. Well, at least as far as software goes.

I personally believe we'll ultimately get what we want to the point where rooting is useless as far as ordinary everyday users go. But right now we don't know what this whole smartphone craze is or what its gonna be when it finally plateaus, and neither do the manufacturers & carriers so they can't exactly crack whips on our backs for doing all of this yet.

Besides, the hackers that make these roms make the phones better. They turn us into brand and carrier loyalists. The Optimus, Galaxy S, Xperia, HTC & Droids all have followings for different reasons, and the developers are the most rabid and loyal of them all. They might not NEED us, but we're still pretty freaking important.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cstrife999:
Okay I'm going to be as nice as I can about this. It's not true. We've had so many threads about this the threads are starting to scare people. Please stop. I don't mean to be rude to you. There is not on piece of solid evidence and I've talked to soooo many people it's not even funny. Don't buy it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ucluglee:
I'm rooted and I have wireless tether. However, there are apps in the market (Easy Tether and PDANet, for example) that do the same thing as wireless tether, but use a USB cable and work on unrooted phones, so the argument that VZW is cracking down on rooted users due to wireless tether isn't valid. I use WT every now and then if I need to connect my laptop for work reasons when I am at a customers location. If VZW feels the need to lock my phone, well, it IS their network and they have that right. I rooted my phone to get rid of the software that was bogging my phone down.

[HTC Desire S] mrbubba999:
I've not looked at them too closely, but they look very very similar. My Wife is getting a Desire S and I would like to get her an Otterbox Commuter, as I have one on my Desire HD and its great.

would the Desire Otterbox fit?

Just checked the width and the Desire S is a bit slimmer, so I doubt it would fit :(
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
it has a differnt desgin. different button placements. and no trackball
[HTC Desire S] baste07:
trackball? desire HD doesn't have a trackball.

and obviously it will not fit, otter commuter cases are made specifically for the model. you can put it in just be sure to hold on to it as it will surely fall off.
[HTC Desire S] j1mmy:
I would too be interested in a case for Desire S, it looks pretty solidly built but a case would be the safe way to go

I couldn't find any specifically for Desire S in my contry yet (Romania) and I was wondering if anyoane tried any of those gel/silicone soft cases for the original Desire on this one ( I don't expect it to fit too well however)

or maybe Zagg's invisible shield or anything similar?
[HTC Desire S] Traged:
desire ca on desire s

Desire S is smaller,so you need new case,try ebay,or aukro.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Amazon have some cases there already.
[HTC Desire S] tanivula:
The neoprene slip cases for the original desire works really well, because it's slightly smaller it makes it easier to get in and out but without the risk of it just coming out on it's own.
[HTC Desire S] simu_lacrum:
The cases for the Desire are of almost no use for the Desire S. Not only the Desire S is smaller than the Desire, also the usb connector and the camera lens are at different locations which renders such an old case pretty much useless.
[HTC Desire S] Starfine:
I wear nothing on my desire s.

But it's still very healthy and good-looking~~XD
[HTC Desire S] isaekrem:
Also I don't wear nothing on my desire s. And it is good.

... til it falls down!!! :( Then it it's time to regret... :D

Everything is fine until... it is not!! 500€ is money enough for me to purchase a case. Life will be easier for me... and for mi DS!! :D

Bye!!

No it won't work, I have 2 cases for both phones and the same design and they don't fit each other...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] JFH:
I've mistakenly upload HardSPL from Mega-Touch2 ...

Phone is not react on nothing

i've try soft and hard reset, phone is dead ...

is there any solution ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Use it as a paperweight?

Seriously, though, the only way to recover from that, if it won't do anything, is a JTAG recovery. See if any of your local electronics dealers can do it for you. Otherwise, it might be better for you to get a new one...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] JFH:
i've try to do something with mtty usb

but "ub port can not open".

i disabled usb connection in w7pro
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
It isn't going to work. You have the wrong SPL flashed to it. The SPL is what loads up EVERYTHING in the device and makes it all play nicely together. You won't be able to recover via USB. JTAG is the only option, but it isn't something you will be able to do, I would imagine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] JFH:
service said,procesor is fake

they said, "we try few times with 3 different recovery tools, in 75% phone go down"

is this possible, procesor is death ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
I've already said that your problem is that you flashed the wrong SPL. The device is dead. Get a new one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] deeken:
Think of this as an opportunity to get a new phone and a lesson learned:).

I gave my old broken Nokia to my nephew and he plays with it all the time. Silly kid thinks he can make calls from it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kamikaze07:
This is the ugly truth that you have to face with it. I'm sorry to hear that.

Try a new phone right now, use the old dead one as a paperweight like others have said.:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jackos:
Replace the mainboard, you bricked the device.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ryannathans:
Okay, i can not understand this guy.

Can someone translate to proper english if you understand?

What has he done?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
He flashed the Hard SPL from the HTC Mega (Touch 2) to his HTC Rhodium (Touch Pro2). Doing this bricked his device. The only solution is to either J-TAG it to recover directly, replace the mainboard, or replace the whole device. Since the OP flashed the wrong SPL, I am assuming that he is probably not qualified or capable of J-TAG or mainboard replacement (I mean no offense to the OP). This is why I simply stated that he just get a new one.

The moral of the story is to read carefully before doing any of this stuff for this very reason. He now has a $300 paper weight.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ryannathans:
Ahh, makes sense now.

As long as you sit in the right forum you should be fine OP :P
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fade2black101:
Didnt realise there was no way to recover it once it is bricked. I tend to be really careful but I still worry when flashing my phone. Makes me scared to do it on my next phone now knowing its game over if I do something wrong.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
You'll be just fine if you read carefully before flashing. The OP's problem was that he flashed a SPL from a completely different device. If he had done something wrong with the Rhodium software, then we could have helped him recover. As long as you stick to stuff to your device, you should be fine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
That's what a brick is, a paperweight. Useless and unrecoverable, that's the main point in calling it a "brick". Some have defined a brick as unrecoverable w/o opening up the phone. And some use terms like "semi-brick". But the "semi-brick" distinction in particular seems silly. If you can recover from it fairly easily, than its not a brick. You just hit a roadbump,and then you figured it out.

The OP is screwed because he messed with the SPL, and as cajun said, the SPL is what loads EVERYTHING else. If you are just flashing ROMs and whatnot, even a bad flash is easy to recover from. As long as you can get into bootloader, you're fine. Just flash a known good ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fade2black101:
Is this covered in the warranty;)? lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] connexion2005:
I can recover hard bricked phones including the TP2 and many other devices using JTAG. PM me with any questions about a bricked Tp2.
