Nice update. It stalls a bit now when trying to constantly swipe the page to scroll all the way down. If you don't mind me referencing another browser, Opera has a button that pops up when it detects that you're trying to scroll down so when you push it, it scrolls all the way down for you. Something like that would be a nice feature to add.

After this update, on some of the web pages I visit I now have to double tap the page to zoom in. Before it would be nicely zoomed in without me tapping. That's only a minor problem for me. It didn't used to be like that though. That's also one thing I don't like about Opera (always having to be double tap on EVERY page).

Like before, looking forward for more updates :-) good work.

Update 2.1 FC

Hi, just updated through Market to the latest version (v 2.1), and I get a force close when I try to start up Maxthon. Never had a problem with Maxthon before. Running CM7.0.3, (android 2.3.3)

edit: Ok, I've uninstalled, and re-installed 2.1, and it works now. Don't know what the problems were before.

2 Suggestions

- Is it possible to have the home page customizable (like the new-tab screen, with the favorites)?

- Is it possible to store bookmarks/settings on SD? So when you uninstall/reinstall Maxthon, you will keep your settings and bookmarks?
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@odyon, although you can't customize your home/navigation page now, but you can set other pages as your new home page. For example, you can set the page where you can customize your links as your homepage. You just need to long-tap the tab of the page. =)

The ability to store bookmarks/settings on SD, great idea!!! We actually have it already on our to-do list... =)
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@zerkai, thanks..
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
feel free to try it out and let us know what you think..
[Android Apps and Games] MongooseHelix:
I've been using Maxthon for a few weeks now and it has become the only browser I use/have installed on my phone now. I like the speed and interface a lot so thank you for bringing it to Android. One feature request that is already on the list in the OP I would most like is the quick selection of bookmarks. Otherwise, it would be great to have Read It Later support. Browsers that are said to currently support it are Stock, Firefox, Skyfire, Opera, Dolphin, and xScope. Definitely isn't a make or break issue for me but thought I'd mention it. Thanks again for the great app!

Evo, Evo Shift, Hero

Gingerbread 2.3

Maxthon build 2776

It's been awhile since I've posted as work has me pretty busy. I'd like to know if anyone has noticed how much slower Maxthon is on gingerbread? I now have to overclock to get the same performance that I did on 2.2. It's out of character for me to post without data but I haven't had the time to run a testing cycle. If others are noticing this please post and hopefully this can be resolved and removed from the growing list of apps that are having issues with 2.3.
[Android Apps and Games] Lokifish Marz:
Still using as my daily and really like the improvements but have noticed that some pages give me "connection to server unsuccessful" even though stock\firefox\opera etc.. don't have this issue. I've tried using differnet UA settings to no avail. Is Maxthon running through a proxy or have some sort of content filtering I'm not aware of?
[Android Apps and Games] krankdroid:
is there a way to have the browser start up in my quick links and not on a page that has links to web portals that i cant configure myself.

making it personal is the key when i use a browser. so having it start up on a page that holds content that i cant configure and has no use for is a bit strange i think.

i love the browser and when i can set the quick links as the start up page, this browser will be my standard browser.

what is the chance of that happening ?

also.. i should have the option to set image load quality to full.

looking nice, but embeded YouTube video is overlaping bottom menu bar :( tried on Nexus S MIUI ROM
[Android Apps and Games] hirak99:
Ist gut, but often takes up a lot of CPU cycles when it is put in the background.

Installed last night, had used Opera so far. While Opera can fetch pre-processed sites & images making more efficient usage of bandwidth, Maxthon has a lot many more features which I really wanted. However I was surprised when I found that Maxthon uses a lot of CPU cycles when at background! With my habit of switching apps by putting them to background (as I believe Android users are encouraged to do for multi tasking), this is not good :(

[HD2 General] Moandal:
Why is it that no-one, not even HTC, can make another phone with a 4.3 screen without making it bigger than the HD2. Even the T-mobile version of the HD2 is bigger than the original HD2. Now that they've released the Sensation it's a whopping 126.1 mm tall, almost 6mm taller - yuk!

Is it really too much to ask to keep the size down to no more than that of the original HD2?

Big screen: yes please.

Big phone: no thanks.
[HD2 General] mustainegab:
It seems we'll have to wait for the HD3 :(
[HD2 General] pappt:
more ram, more cpu, more heat...must be in a bigger case
[HD2 General] Moandal:
Well that's clearly rubbish. The Motorola Atrix has 33% more RAM and 1600% more on-board storage than the Sensation and a dual core processor, and it's in a much smaller case.
[HD2 General] StarLog:
HTC just today announced another 4.3 " phone with Android.
[HD2 General] lude219:
What the hell are you talking about? The RAM and the CPU are identical. The only thing bigger is the ROM size, but that shouldn't make the TmousHD2 bigger and thicker considering how small the ROM chip is (probably no bigger than the 512MB one).
[HD2 General] pappt:
i compared to the HTC Sensation, which have 1.2 GHz, dual core processor and 768 MB RAM...and what are you talking about?
[HD2 General] pappt:
Yes, and has smaller screen than the HD2 or Sensation...which is limits the phone dimension
[HD2 General] Moandal:
Exactly - Motorola have managed to fit a dual core CPU and 1GB RAM and 16 GB storage into a much smaller case. So your suggestion that the Sensation has to be bigger to fit in the RAM and the CPU is rubbish.
[HD2 General] orangekid:
you're all wrong, what they need to do is start putting smaller midgets in the phones.
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
I don't think it was a technical need that causes the phone size to be different. My former phone is an TP2 TMOUS. That phone was different from every other TP2 in the world - T-Mobile had HTC design an entirely different front and battery cover. I think they simply want to be different. But it is inconvenient in that one cannot use every accessory that is available.
[HD2 General] pappt:
I think we can't understand each other. The OP ask in the opening post why is newer phones with 4.3 screen !!! are bigger than our HD2. He mentioned the Sensation. Which has 4,3 screen also, but bigger CPU and RAM. I think maybe that is the reason why the Sensation is bigger than the HD2.

Than you give the Motorola as an example, but it has only 4 inch display!!! Of course it fits in a smaller case, because the display's dimension determinates the PDA's length and width. If it would have a (for example) 3,2 inch QVGA display, it could be even smaller...
[HD2 General] Moandal:
Yes I know what the OP asked. I wrote it. I know the Motorola has a 4 inch display. But you still haven't grasped the basic flaw in your argument. If Motorola can fit more stuff than the Sensation into a phone with a smaller screen than the HD2, then there's no reason at all why the Sensation with the same screen as the HD2 and less stuff than the smaller Atrix needs to be any bigger than the HD2.

I can't explain it any simpler than that. Maybe comparing more than two phones with different screen sizes and components all together is too much for you.

OK, so the aspect ratio of the Sensation is slightly higher, meaning the length of the screen is actually about 1.5mm more than the HD2 despite the diagonal being the same, but that's no excuse for adding nearly 5mm to the phone length.
[HD2 General] arkatis:
Htc has done a great job on the devices even though some are having tiny problems on the buttons or something like that.. Now regarding your thought; internal components are the same regardless how much the gigs are or sizes... They just wanted to be proud of another bigger phone imo.. And i am starting to dislike the idea...:S
[HD2 General] pappt:
Sorry, it's a shame on me. I didn't know i am arguing with the OP...so anyway i check both phones' specifications by number (1 Ghz tegra cpu vs 1,2 Ghz Snapdragon, 5 mpixel cam vs 8 mpixel cam), and if they offer me to choose one of them for free, i would take the Sensation, no matter if it's bigger some mm.
[HD2 General] daemonfly:
It could also come down to manufacturing costs. A slightly bigger phone might end up cheaper to produce than a smaller, but more densely packed phone. Since most of these companies only truly care about the bottom line, it could be a pretty valid reason.
[Thunderbolt General] bunklung:
Did anyone else notice that their LED will faintly flash red after flashing 3.0.2.5? It has to be real dark, but I can see it flickering. Anyone else?
[Thunderbolt General] Carnage9270:
Not happening with mine in a pitch black room. Might wanna make sure you removed the previous version completely. It's in the options somewhere.
[Thunderbolt General] eschelon:
Do you mean the light shows in general?... or only when you are in CWM?

If the former, I am still on 3.0.2.4 and have seen this faint red light myself when on a phone call on occasion. So it would not be a new bug with 3.0.2.5
[Thunderbolt General] bunklung:
This is the first time I have noticed it. I tried re-flashing CWR and there is still a faint red light.
[Thunderbolt General] BotsOne:
Not positive, but I think that's the proximity sensor's light you are seeing. Try to watch it through another phone's camera if you have one handy, the sensor should detect the infra-red (near infra-red?) and it should look brighter.
[Thunderbolt General] BotsOne:
Just tried it myself and it is indeed the infrared from the proximity sensor that you are seeing. As to why CWR would be using the proximity sensor, that is a whole other issue =)
[Thunderbolt General] robdec17:
I also noticed this on my phone then walked over and grabbed my wifes bolt that is stock and not rooted and hers does the same thing. Very faint red flashing light. Hers is stock so it must just be the phone
[Thunderbolt General] MadWicket:
The infrared sensor will pulse intermittently to see if the phone is near an object or not. To tell if the phone is by your face, upside down, in your pocket, etc.. Don't worry pulses of this sensor don't take much juice at all. I'm just surprised you saw the light at all lol most people wouldn't be able to.
[Thunderbolt General] bunklung:
Maybe it's my new glasses :)

I'm glad it's just not me and/or my rooted phone.
[Thunderbolt General] Pito2k6:
I only get that light to show up when I got Skype running in the background.
[Thunderbolt General] tlk1969:
faint led flicker in earpiece

mine is doing this too, but I don't have "clockwork"-i don't think. I've noticed that it's not the "main" led, but it is right beside it!

anyone have any ideas about what this could be!?
[Thunderbolt General] tlk1969:
it is, indeed, skype, and i believe it IS the proximity sensor. why?... i have NO idea, but i feel better now that i know the correlation and that I'm not alone!
[Thunderbolt General] bunklung:
I found out the proximity sensor AND Skype was the cause of my battery issues.

Obviously nothing to do with CWM.

i have just installed CyanogenMod 6.1 on my mt3g (without headphone jack)

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
which spl do you have?

Your radio is fine...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] galvic:
You might have silent apps installed killing your memory?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cellsafemode:
some ram is used for FS's that exist in ram so that they can be temporarily writeable and faster access. Caches and such as well.

But i think the missing "ram" is taken up by the protected parts of the OS. roughly the same is missing from the A and B models, leaving 200MB or so for A models and 90ish for the B models for userspace.

Erm, I guess should press it more than twice just right after the white sony ericsson loge appeared, better hit and combo non stop the back button till the xrec loaded, but if it proceed to the bootanimation, that means xrecovery is not install.

That means, your xrecovery did not work.

I did post ssomething in the mini general thread somethinng for newbies. And I have attached the only xrecovery that works for me.

Download and install.

Download the rom you want which will be store on your phones SD Card in Downloads then make a Backup of the rom you have now . Go into Rom Manager and select backup current Rom , you'll get a pop up were you can name the rom whatever you want , let it do it's thing , it will backup then restart the phone. When the phone restarts go into rom manager again and select Install Rom From SD Card , it will take you to your SD Card where you'll go into Download where the rom is stored , select the rom you downloaded you'll get a pop up which will ask if you want to wipe , check wipe and then ok . Let it do it's thing again when it down it will restart and ask you to set up you accounts just follow the steps . When everything is set up go in to the market and select My Apps you should see all your application downloading give them some time to download. Then it's all up to you to set up your home screens .

1. Copy "cm7-vibrant-initial-20110304" and "vibrant-efsbackup" to your phone.

2. Make sure you are on a voodoo kernel. For example: Overstock

3. Have Odin ready with "cm7-vibrant-initial-kernel" in PDA. Make sure auto-reboot and auto partition are unchecked.

4. Turn off the phone

5. Enter recovery via 3 buttons and flash "vibrant-efsbackup"

6. Pull out battery and then enter download mode via 2 buttons and then flash the "cm7-vibrant-initial-kernel" using Odin.

7. Pull out the battery and enter recovery via 3 buttons and choose "mounts and storage" Wipe System, Cache, and Data.

8. Flash "cm7-vibrant-initial-20110304" and then data wipe/factory reset then reboot.

9. Let it sit for 15 min. Reboot. Flash Update.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheAggression:
I'm new to alot of this stuff but one thing that caught my attention with the original galaxy s phone initially was its specs and the fact that it has 512mb. Now one thing I've noticed that has greatly hindered an android phones performance is memory. It's the achillies heal for droid users. Now my phone is rooted and I have auto memory manager and all is good for the most part. But my question is, if this phone has 512mb of ram, then why is 100-130 shown whenever I go into aam?

Also with the Galaxy s 2 and it's beautiful specs, do you think that it'll operate w/o the need for a task killer? I don't understand how iphone and android phone have similar specs hardware wise but the iphone runs smoother and rarely if ever lags w/o the need for a task killer. I'm just really curious because as much as I love droid and prefer it over the iphone, i do give it to apples iphone for stability and smooth operating.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kreoXDA:
iPhone is much tighter controlled and until recently it did not have multitasking. With Android you can have badly written apps running in the background that slow down the device.

iPhone is a single platform, so iOS supports hardware GPU acceleration of the UI. All those neat visuals in the user interface are handled by the dedicated GPU on iPhone, and by CPU on Android devices (because of so many GPUs they can have, core android does not do YET hardware GPU acceleration of the UI)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PartyMango:
You neither need a memory manager nor any other task killer. If an application freezes the default android task manager (in Settings, Applications) will take care of it (which happens on the iPhone as well, it has an integrated task killer - press the home button twice, press and hold an app icon).

All a task killer will do is use precious mobile resources of its own.

Regarding the question of free memory - you want the system to use up as much memory as possible, that doesn't mean the system won't be able to free up space if needed. Unused memory doesn't do anything, if Android can utilize it as a cache the free space will be put to work, that doesn't mean you are almost "out of memory". Just that the system is using its resources as efficiently as possible.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheAggression:
@ kreoXDA.....do you know if any upcoming phones will have a dedicated GPU acceleration for the UI?

@ Partymango...... I hear you but my phone doesn't do to well without the auto memory manager app i have. Memory is always an issue, even with froyo. Any tips?
