Yeah, it was me :)

Ok, the screenshots as i've promised yesterday are attached.

First one is the page after opening, the second is after the double tap, which i call "overview" maybe "zoomed out" in the US :D

UI feature request. Skyfire browser has this nice UI rotation feature that makes landscape browsing very easy and I was wondering is something simular could be added. Having it be an option in settings would be great too. This would, atleast for Evo phoneputer users, remove the need for a custom browser UI as well.
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
guys, I just updated our thread with a brand new templates and listed many great suggestions gathered from here....
[Android Apps and Games] eskostar:
Just caught this one, good job, replaced Opera Mobile for now, just needs a way to customize the home page and it will be just perfect, thumbs up.
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@britoso, Maxthon Mobile is based on Webkit; Maxthon PC is dual-mode with webkit and trident.. Give it a try...=)
[Android Apps and Games] Joecascio2000:
Great Browser!

I love this browser's UI. Its replaced my stock browser and Firefox mobile (Which sucks but I used it to sync bookmarks)!

My Thoughts:

1. Add bookmark syncing for other desktop browsers. ie. Chrome, Firefox, IE9

2. Add a option to set a different Home page, although I really like the current one, as said before, we should be able to customize it.

3. Add an "In Private" browser option.

4. **I am currently using the green theme and I don't like the tab bar. (Instead of solid black its a weird greenish grey color. I'll include a pic)

Thanks, love the browser. A serious contender against others.
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@Joecascio2000, we're very happy that you like it...

thanks for the 'in private' suggestion, also, we'll come up with a better skins in the future....=)
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
What do you think of a 'Desktop UI' feature in Maxthon? Would love to hear what you guys think... =)
[Android Apps and Games] Lokifish Marz:
Take a look HERE to see the advantages of a "Desktop UI" feature. It's currently only for the HTC Evo but I intend to see this applied to other devices. There are over 30 devices that this could be applied to.
[Android Apps and Games] sageDieu:
That looks awesome. Wish my phone had HDMI lol

@Lokifish Marz, it looks pretty good..Lokifish Marz... thanks much for sharing..=)
[Android Apps and Games] pendevous:
This is now my default browser. It's much faster than Dolphin and Firefox, and is stable now. Looks absolutely gorgeous on the Galaxy Tab.
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@pendevous, thanks for the kind words.. we plan to release another update next week. the new release will fix many existing bugs and come with many improvements.... please stay tuned...=)
[Android Apps and Games] Lokifish Marz:
Browser Benchmarks and Analysis

Some of you may know me from the benchmarking and testing of both HDMI apps for the Evo. You know how much effort is put into making sure the results are accurate and how unbiased my results are (even in the face of flaming). I am providing the same level of testing for Maxthon as a part of my work with them. In order to save time I however will not be testing using multiple ROM/kernel combinations. I will consider doing so at the request of the Maxthon developers only.

The following results were obtained using the following parameters:

HTC Evo rev003

16Mbit WiFi connection and 4G

CyanogenMod 7.0.0

Savaged-Zen 2.0.0 BFS

CPU locked @ 998Mhz

Browsers installed from market on 4/22

Default browser settings were used

ATK used to verify no other browsers were running during the test

Tests performed were Sunspider and Acid3

Each test was run three times for WiFi and three times for 4G. Below is the average of all runs.

Results:

Stock Browser: 4359.9ms & 93/100

Dolphin HD: 4143.1ms & 93/100

Firefox Mobile: 2841.8ms & 97/100

Maxthon 2: 4315.1ms & 93/100

Miren: 4308.7ms & 93/100

Opera Mobile: 3376.4ms & 100/100

Skyfire: 5021.4ms & 93/100

XScope: 4687.9ms & 93/100

Real World Testing:

File uploading to sites like XDA via the browser: Stock Browser, Firefox Mobile

Desktop version of Youtube and Hulu using Adobe+Hulu apk: Stock, Dolphin, Maxthon, Miren, xScope

Flash content displays on top of browser UI: Firefox,Maxthon, Miren, xScope

Hopefully these results will be passed on to the development team so as to allow for further improvement of Maxthon.
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
Thanks for running the test. I've already shared with our team.... =)
[Android Apps and Games] xcom923:
that's interesting. I didn't realize FF was so fast. I'd also want to point out they have the longest load time of any of those apps (at least it feels like it) since you've gone through the trouble already could you measure the load times of each browser on initial start?
[Android Apps and Games] Lokifish Marz:
I had intended to however my PC died and I'm having to update my site using my Evo Desktop which requires HTML hard coding. As so as I have the time I will add load times to the list.
[Android Apps and Games] windsor_2007:

thanks for your post. i installed it but not good than gingerbread orginal browser... thanks for your upload:):):):)
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@windsor_2007, please stay tuned for a new release this week. It has many improvements.... =) Feel free to try again...
[Android Apps and Games] runedrune:
lovely browser. but i had a problem while browsing the desktop version of facebook. i have secure browsing set on facebook so it browses on https. but the problem is whenever i went to a new page, the browser added http infront of it aswell creating an error in the url (http://https://) so i had to edit it each time and remove the http.
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@runedrune, it is an known issue, and it will be fixed in the new release, which is coming out later this week.... =)
[Android Apps and Games] runedrune:

[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@marcedli, I went to google.hu, and enter a search keyword, then press the 'magnifier' to search, it worked... hummm,, am I doing following that you did?
[Android Apps and Games] marcedli:
ok, that was the point, if you cannot reproduce it, it's only on mine....maybe I shouldn't use custom beta roms always :) NOT!

testing further it seems to me that it happens only on hungarian site and magnifier icon in mobile view of the page. I tried searching through the maxthon address bar and went flawlessly on google.com too, and on classic view of the page too....so weird a bit but not important at all...

glad to see the ongoing development, I think after making it a bit more comfortable this definitely will be default browser on my sgs

as I could see the passport did not sync the quick dial links...am I right?

congrats for the new release!

maybe it's just too early in the morning or I'm a bit retarded but what the hack is in the winning rules? I can't see any top banner on mx://home page...only the search is on top...

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Android Apps and Games] sageDieu:
Uninstall then reinstall, then sit on mx://home for a little bit so it can load. That's what I had to do. You could also try navigating directly to mx://board as that is where the banner takes you.

[Android Apps and Games] runedrune:
Is it possible to include a feature to invert colors like the cm7 browser has? :)
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@runedrune, what do you mean by invert colors? =)
[Android Apps and Games] stemnin:
White background become black, black text becomes white, blue becomes yellow.. etc.

Great to read at night and maybe uses less battery.

edit, just downloaded, very nice.
[Android Apps and Games] krackers:
A few suggestions!

When you click a youtube link, make it open the default youtube app.

Could you also match the speed of dolphin browser mini?
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@krackers, thanks for the youtube suggestion...

Yes, the goal is the be the fastest browser out there...We're confident that we'll get there.... =)
[Android Apps and Games] runedrune:
what he said:

:) think it's possible?
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@runedrune, are you thinking of, an UI that's suitable for night reading? Maybe a Night-mode? By the way, I've passed this to our design team..
[Android Apps and Games] pendevous:
Very speedy, and thanks for fixing the https problem. I'm still usong this as my main browser.

A minor bug, though; in the Galaxy Tab, I only need to click the browser tab for it to close instead of the "x" mark.
[Android Apps and Games] jonny68:
will keep an eye on this, ive been using xScope now for quite some time after much chopping and changing and am happy with that but thiis has potential.;)
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@pendevous, do you mean by clicking the tab ONLY once, then the tab will close? please advise.... =)
[Android Apps and Games] pendevous:
Yup, but it only happens when I'm in the tab I'm viewing at, though. :( for example, when I'm viewing xda and I click on the nba tab once, it's ok. But when I'm viewing xda and I click on the xda tab once, it closes. O_O
[Android Apps and Games] Joecascio2000:
What's up with the weird green hue at the top by the tabs. Is it suppose to look like that?
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@pendevous, we understand what you described, and we're working on a good solution for it....=)
[Android Apps and Games] runedrune:
that would only change the color of the browser. no.

what i'm talking about is inverting the colors of the website itself. i could post some pictures if you want?
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
please post some pictures of how you'd like the UI to be. this will be much more clear... thanks =)
[Android Apps and Games] sageDieu:
This isn't a bug, it's on purpose. Pretty much all tabbed browsers behave that way.

[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@Habarug, this is not a trick at all.....Some users are having trouble seeing the banner, but we're working on a fix. In the meanwhile, you can go to directly to mx://board as a short cut
[Android Apps and Games] sageDieu:
With the tabs thing, you could maybe make it so that only pressing the X closes it but this could be a problem on smaller screens. Maybe have an option to have it ask if you want to close the tab.

[Android Apps and Games] sampy14:
this is definitely the most promising browser out there. Just a few things to be fixed before it will become my default browser:

-Flash plugin on demand

-search button working

-save to pdf function (not essential but very useful)

Keep up working, you are doing well!
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@sampy14, what do you mean by search button working? it seems to be working for me.... =)
[Android Apps and Games] runedrune:
@maxthon

can you see the pictures now?
[Android Apps and Games] sampy14:
If I press the search button on my nexus s the search bar does not appear.
[Android Apps and Games] pendevous:
To be honest it is already better than most other browsers out there. Keep up the great and awesome work, man. :)
[Android Apps and Games] BanziBaby:
Still seeing the browser crash (not force closing) You can be opening a page & then drops you back to home screen, sometimes it will open right back up where you where or it will try & load the last page again.

This really needs flash on demand setting, very annoying seeing most pages flash once or twice when loading flash content.

Still a damn fine browser though, just needs a few bugs fixed & a bit of polish, once this is done it will most likely replace Xscope Pro.

Cheers,

Banzi.

I am having issues with it saving my login details and favourites.

I sync my bookmarks from my desktop and i can see them all fine.

Then i close the browser and re-enter it go to favourites and they have gone.

I then have to re-login and sync to see my favourites.

Is it just me that has this issue?

It just does not seem to be saving the fav's after it has sync'd

THanks
[Android Apps and Games] Skreedi:
Nice and fast browser, it's the same speed like opera but a bit slower than Miren Browser. Now I will wait until You boost it and add flash support ;)
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@indesisiv， thanks for the feedback.. =)

One quick item we'd like to confirm, your favorites should go with your account. When you login, you will see the favorites that belong to your account. Before you login, you should see a different set of favorites because they do not belong to your account..

hummm,, I am not sure if the above helps, but please let me know if you're experiencing something different.. Thanks so much =)
[Android Apps and Games] indesisiv:
My favourites are blank ... then I log in and it syncs them across. I can then see them all and they all work. As soon as I then exit out of the browser and go back in they are gone, I then need to log in again and sync to see them again. Otherwise there are no favourites there. Because I have not created any on my phone I guess.

Edit: just created a bookmark locally on the phone ... it is there everytime when I start maxthon so it is saving local bookmarks.
[Android Apps and Games] zerkai:
Sometimes when having multiple tabs opened causes lag when closing one which then causes me to close all of them because I'm constantly trying to close a tab but it doesn't close right away.

It'll also be nice if there was a power off button for the browser like in xscope so that it doesn't stay running in the background taking 30mb+ ram.

So far I've noticed that this browser doesn't like filesonic. Finishes all downloads at 319bytes. Other download hosts seem to work fine though.

Overall its fast and I like it and can't wait for more updates!
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@indesisiv, once you logged into your account, your account should automatically be logged in next time you turn on Maxthon Mobile. Then all the favorites should be there
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@zerkai, glad that you like our browser. BTW, a new update will be out next week. Please stay tuned. =)
[Android Apps and Games] raiderep:
Been using this for two days on my epic4g and am liking it alot. The rom I'm using has issues with all browsers but miren and now this which I like better than miren. Thanx for the app ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@raiderep, we're very happy that you like the app.... =)
[Android Apps and Games] marcedli:
it will take some time to greet all who likes mx :D
[Android Apps and Games] indesisiv:
Thats the problem i think ... when i restart the browser i have to log in again to sync the bookmarks. It is not staying logged in.

Also it appears that they are not saved locally after syncing. They really should be so that they are there on opening. Even before syncing occurs.
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@indesisiv, that syncing problem is very strange. Everytime I turn on Maxthon Mobile, a message will pop up saying 'Login successful'. I have all my Favorites from my account. Have you ever seen that message? It should be automatic.

If not, please provide me with the app's version number and build number (About button under Menu), as well as the Android OS you're using, and your device model. We will need to reproduce the problem from our end.. Thanks so much =)
[Android Apps and Games] indesisiv:
Im running v2 build 2775 on the sony ericsson x10i running android 2.2.1.

No I have never seen the login message on start. I have it checked to auto sync ...

Is it supposed to save a copy of the bookmarks locally once synced?

If there is anything I can do from this end let me know.

I will try reinstalling in an hour or so once I get time.

Edit: I have reinstalled it and its still the same.
[Android Apps and Games] marcedli:
try to manually delete the corresponding maxthon folder from /dbdata/databases then reboot

(i hope it exists on sony too, on galaxy s it stores the settings of the app, root needed for that)
[Android Apps and Games] indesisiv:
Not even seeing a maxthon folder which is a bit odd ... did a search with root explorer too. ... will have a proper look tomorrow.

Edit: Made sure that database folder deleted and reinstalled ... checked permissions etc still no go with the saving of synced bookmarks!! I can manually log in and sync everytime but thats not the best way to go about this.
[Android Apps and Games] noogai93:
I recently installed maxthon mobile on my HTC Dream running ginger bread and I found that it wasn't as fast as the stock browser, so i went to uninstall it and found out i couldn't. In manage applications all i can do is uninstall updates and when i tried easy uninstall it wasn't listed though the app still works.

Anyone have a clue here ?

[Android Apps and Games] raiderep:
Some more feedback...

Sync doesn't work on 4g, if I switch to 3g it works almost everytime. Auto login seems to work on either 4g or 3g so it seems odd. Not that big of a deal as long as I switch to 3g before I sync. Sprint's 4g does seem to sleep too much so this may be a factor but I have tried the sync a few times while making sure it was active...

When using the open link in a new tab option it would be nice if it went right to that tab. Or maybe make that another option, unless I'm just not seeing it.

I'm using an Epic4g on sprint running froyo...

I really like this browser and am hoping to see more good work, thanx for your efforts ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] shaxs:
Maxthon,

I IMPLORE you to please be the first android browser on the market to allow installation and passing of client side certification files. No one does this except Sandrob which doesnt work on Honeycomb and is just a modified version of the stock android browser.

This is a huge need and I wouldnt even mind buying, yes buying, a "business" version of Maxthon that allowed this. I know a few other people in my company who would also!

I need to be able to install a .p12 client side certificate to be sent to the admin section of my company's site to authenticate me as an employee.

Heck, you can even use Sandrobs SSL example code as a starting off point:

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.sandrob.sslexample

But seriously, this is a huge gaping hole for Android browsers in the enterprise work place. It is the only thing holding me back from ditching my laptop and using my Asus Transformer as my main travel device for work.
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@noogai93, you can uninstall anytime when you go into Manage Applications.
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@shaxs, that is a good suggestion. I sent you a private message in regards to that.
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@indesisiv, this is a really strange problem. Before you login, you belong to a different account, so for privacy and other issues, you should not be able to see Favorites associated with your Passport account.
[Android Apps and Games] indesisiv:
@Maxthon

It is purely because it is not logging me in when it starts i think.

So i have temporarily cured it by copying the synced bookmarks database and relabeling it as the default so that i have a local copy of all my bookmarks.

It will do for the time being.

It syncs once i log in fine :D
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@indesisiv, very glad that you found an alternative solution.....=)
