[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Test Setup: All tests were performed on the ACS SRF 1.1 rom, with a 1.3ghz overclock and governor set to "on demand". Wireless was over an Actiontec wireless-g router connected to FIOS 30/30 fiber. The phone was connected to a wall plug throughout each test, as I don't think even my extended battery would have lasted 4 hours of screen on time, overclocked, with constant wifi use and cpu stressing. All tests were also performed in landscape mode. No idea if that would have an effect at all on any of the load times or benchmarks, though I doubt it, but it certainly impacted my opinion on usage of screen real-estate.

Test methodology:Before each browser is tested, the phone is restarted and allowed to finish media scanning and settle in for a minute so that each browser has a level playing field. Each site loading test is an average of 3 visits using wifi and after each individual test the cache of the browser is cleared. All load tests are performed with flash "always on" except for Opera Mini which has no flash capability. The Flash rating for the stock Browser was set at 3 so that I may easily score other browsers better or worse than the stock browser. All tests were performed in the exact same spot so that no browser had a stronger wifi signal. All of the rundowns that I give in the second post are basically play by plays of things I discover about the browsers as I use them and my particular gripes with them.

Flash Video: I used the site http://labs.worldtv.com/ to compare playback in each browser.

*Bookmark import is specifically to import bookmarks from the stock browser. Many of these browsers have options to sync with a particular service or with your computer's bookmarks.

Best Flash content browser: Opera Mobile Web Browser

Best everyday browser: Miren/Dolphin Browser Mini/Opera/Dolphin Browser HD

Coolest feature: Miren Panorama mode, Opera Mobile amazing flash playback

Best potential: Firefox v4.0.1

Note: Nothing here is scientific although I have tried to reduce as many variables as possible while testing. A lot of the things I tested were judgement calls on my part, especially relating to flash, scrolling and p2z behavior. Also, my opinions/needs may not be the same as yours.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
I use Dolphin and I love it. Opera is faster (atleast it seems so), but it doesn't let me log into Sprint.com (wont allow me to select the password field). So I just stick with Dolphin. I'm ALWAYS interested in trying out something new, though!

I'll give SRF stock browser a try, I've never even touched it. lol
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Its fast, but buggy. Doesn't like auto-rotation either.
[Epic 4G General] tbob18:
You can change the user agent, although its not as easy as it should be, the upside it that it works almost 100%.

I used:

Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.0; U; en) Presto/2.7.39 Version/11.00

[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Ya need to include Maxthon browser.

It is the best looking one,had themes,faster than Dolphin HD and goes back to previous page instantly without realoding it!

I been using nothing but Dolphin HD for a year now but im begining to like Maxthon more,only thing that Dolphin HD got that i miss is swypeble side panels.Other than that Maxthon is better in every way.

I need second opinion on this one,is it me or is Maxthon actualy faster at loading pages than Dolphin HD?
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Maxthon reminds me of Miren but better looking and more polished and faster.
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Now that is how you do tests, nice work, but if you looked at the memory and cpu time those browsers use (other then stock) its crazy, I forget what the worst one was 4 months ago when I tested on my Moment, I think Miren was the worst.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Wouldn't doubt it with the panorama mode. We are pretty well off with ram though, so ram was less of a concern for me to test.

Added to the OP.
[Epic 4G General] tbob18:
If you use Opera 11 for desktop, you can import bookmarks using Opera Link.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
Haha, if only I could get Maxthon's theme w/ dolphin. It'd be perfect!
[Epic 4G General] tbob18:
Angel Browser seems to work fine for me, it feels pretty quick on some sites, but on heavy sites it does slow down quite a bit.

In V8 I got 208 @ 1ghz, similar in performance to Dolphin Mini.

There sure are a lot of options, not really sure what do with all of them. :D
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Yeah i feel same way.Another thing that Dolphin could use is instant back button,Maxthon can go back a page without having to reload it,it saves alot of time.

But i would reather have Maxthon with Dolphin interface(the way Dolphin's menus work but keep Maxthon's look) because i think that Maxthon loads pages quicker and thats with flash enabled,now imagine how quick they would load if Maxthon had option to dissable flash.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Yea. A few browsers had similar options. I was trying to limit it to importing bookmarks from the stock browser on the device.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
I wish I could get it to work just to try out all of those settings. The thing refuses to work for me though.
[Epic 4G General] tbob18:
Strange, which rom are you using?
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
ACS SRF 1.1.

Just tried installing it again. Force closes the instant I try and visit a website.
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:
What no dolphin browser mini? =/
[Epic 4G General] sceptor:
Wow opera is so much better theb skyfire or dolphin feel wise
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
I pretty much gave up on browser switching when I found dolphin mini. Its fast even on 1x and NEVER force closes. The start page bookmarks makes following phandroid and engadget even easier than their native apps.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poontab:
Pretty simple question; how do I change the screen density on an AMOLED Dinc w/CM7? I used to do it all the time on my D1 through build.prop but it doesn't affect it so I tried some apps which caused some boot loops so I'm in need of direction.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsmacked4653:
https://market.android.com/details?id=lv.n3o.lcddensity&feature=search_result

Have you tried that? I use it and have never had any issues with it. It resets itself after a reboot, too, so it's (relatively) safe to play around with.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poontab:
Thanks for the reply but yeah I've tried it. Are you AMOLED or SLCD?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsmacked4653:
AMOLED. I got mine right before they switched screens. I'm guessing you have an SLCD and that's why it doesn't work?

Are you running a Sense or AOSP rom? I don't see why it wouldn't work on Sense, but I've only ever tried it on CM6 and 7.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vamp6x6x6x:
Found a video saying that it should be out by the end of this week and it is demoed on a Xoom so that means it will be tablet compatible.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] sharma06851:
Will be free on Amazon Appstore...

Will be free of charge on Amazon App store for a day some time end of this month.

From the web:-

PopCap is finally bringing its quirky, bright colored games to Android. The Seattle based company has signed an exclusive agreement with Amazon to bring its first Android games to the Amazon Appstore. Leading the launch will be the googly-eyed furballs game, Chuzzle. And at the end of the month, the fan-favorite Plants vs. Zombies will be made available. Both games will be featured as the "App of the Day" in the Amazon Appstore and will be free of charge those days. After that, the games will be priced at $2.99 each.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vamp6x6x6x:
I hope everyone is right and this is coming tomorrow.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] p2flol:
Yeah its free on amazon app store today, since its not for tablets its kind of pixelated, oh well!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vamp6x6x6x:
hmm...thats weird, bc in the youtube video it is played on the Xoom.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vamp6x6x6x:
Ok, this game made me take the leap and join the amazon app market; which so far seems to be cooler then the Android Market...for now...

Anyway, about the game: It is very very cool. On the Xoom you can def see the pixelation(hope they fix that), but it is more they playable on the Xoom.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] wang1404:
You should have joined Amazon appstore already just for the reason it gives you a free app everyday. It is definitely playable on the xoom. The only downfalll is when you collect new plant, it slows down a bit and pixelated.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vamp6x6x6x:
Yea, hope they fix that, but then again if I remember right their is no iPad version for the iOS only a iPhone verson...at least I think whats what I read somewhere...

And as far as Appstore on Amazon, I was glad to see that it gives me the game on each android device I have and what about updates are those free also?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Nate2:
Is there a setting on Tablets... sprite translation, or something like that?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jiwengang:
Yes. It is awesome.

I just played this morning. It is fine on Xoom, just slow down when you got new plants ...

But nevertheless it is great first step!!!

[Xoom Themes and Apps] spirit32:
The one in amazon is not tablet optimized but if u search for it on google pvz lepad u should find the tablet optimized. The i've been playing it on my zoom for a week now. I its for tegra devices only. It's weird though the tablet optimized is 47mb only and the one in amazon is 70mb
[Xoom Themes and Apps] wang1404:
Yeah updates are free. Every app that you get on free day is free for life.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] poontab:
I've been playing Leave the Devil Alone HD waiting for this to drop. Good rip-off of P.v.Z.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] cowballz69:
they have a tablet version thats been out for over a month, search plants vs zombies levono in google. full HD and not a Phone app they have for free at amazon
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MRCANNADY:
Thank you thank you! The lepad version is MUCH better than the Amazon market version by a mile. Guys, you will have to delete the Amazon version before installing the optimized version or it will not work. If you get a black screen when trying to load the new version, just quit the app and start again..great graphics!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] senaca:
works like a charm. thanks for the hint :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] cwizardtx:
Its also v1.0.0 and the market version is like v1.1

I suspect they will put another version out. Something has to be missing in the v1.0.0 build.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vamp6x6x6x:
I suppose this explains why I see two different versions of PvZ out there, but to be honest I will just stick with the Amazons versons...No, offence to plants vs zombies levono, but I usually like games like this that are still fully supported and can be updated with a click of a button like with android market and amazon appstore.

But ty for clearing up my confusion as to why their are two different looking versions of PvZ.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] xtkxhom3r:
thanks for posting the tablet ver it looks so much better than the one on amazon... i still got the amazon anyways so when they do fix it i can just redownload it :)

[Xperia Arc General] diggedy:
whenever im out running listening to the radio the FM radio always shuts down after about 25-30 minutes. It will restart ok once I reopen it but its still annoying having to stop. Does anyone know why this happens?
[Xperia Arc General] ronniecross:
yeaaah!! I have come across this, but normally when i hide the radio app in the background to use another app. Is this what you do? I think it may be something to do with Android's memory handling, but it's worth taking note of; maybe it's not completely unavoidable...
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
if you use auto memory manager off the market, the One with the fish logo, you can white list anything that you want to stay alive.. that will help if it's the android system killing the app..

Sent from The Arc!
[Xperia Arc General] ronniecross:
Yeah I use ATK. Whitelisting is normally the first thing I check though I'm unsure at the mo and not able to check, but will do so as soon as I can to make sure it's whitelisted...
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
ste.. auto memory manager works with the android memory manager, so you can stop the built in mem manager from shutting it off, through that..

You can turn mobile data off and have the phone on but I've never heard of a way to turn the phone off and use mobile data.

Unless its pure wifi and which you CAN use in airplane mode.

You can change how often it polls the towers but data and voice are done with the same radio. It just switches over to 1x instead of 3g to talk.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daftsynth:
Hi

I recently acquired a Nexus One that I'm having memory issues with. I'm running Gingerbread 2.3.4 (GRJ22). I've tried all sorts of options in erasing / clearing memory. After each of these attempts, it always only shows 13MB free. No extra applications are even installed!

I've done the following:

* Factory Data Reset

* Clear Storage during HBOOT

* Wipe data/factory reset during RECOVERY

* Wipe cache partition during RECOVERY

Any other ideas? I've recently rooted it too.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
What does it read if you do

df -h | grep /data

in the terminal? (The line is called a pipe and on the computer is located on the backslash key '\' and comes up when you use shift. I don't know where it is on the stock keyboard, but on swype, it is under the 'D' key if you use shift and long press on 'D'.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
There is a possibility that your internal memory is filled with bad sectors.

As noted above, please post the output of the "df -h" command, so it'll be more clear.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munchy_cool:
I have 19.45kb free with CM7 + gapps only (edit - that is for /system and that too only 40KB free).

when I give that df command in terminal I get

/dev/block/mtdblock5 196.3M 41.1M 155.2M 21% /data

what does that mean?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Just do

df -h

and you'll see the headings...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munchy_cool:
filesystem size used available use% mounted

/dev/block/mtdblock5 196.3M 41.1M 155.2M 21% /data

so that means I have 155.2M free on /data.

that's good but my /system is only 40.0k free (cm 7 +gapps) only ..bad sectors?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daftsynth:
I can't seem to install terminal thru the marketplace. I think the low memory is preventing any additional application installs. Is that possible?

Is there another method to access a shell prompt on the device?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KAwAtA:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiNJiN76:
Doesn't CM7 already come with Terminal installed...check your app drawer.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
What gapps are you using? Because CM7 on mine has 8.56MB free after having gapps installed and DarkTremor's a2sd. If you are using one of the gapps that adds gmail, maps, facebook, etc... then that is probably your problem. That is why we have the smaller gapps (and to have gapps that are independent of the screen resolution). All those separate apps can be downloaded from the market. The tiny gapps gives you all the apps and framework needed to get onto the market so you can download the other apps.

And yes, Terminal is normally included with CM7...

You should definitely have more free on /system on a CM7 install with gapps.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munchy_cool:
How much is CM 7 + gapps from CM team on the /system (coz I use gapps which has gmail etc).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
I don't know as I also have DarkTremor's a2sd installed, but I still have over 8.5MB available... so I would guess just over 10MB free.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsaxda:
I had low space problems on my old Eris. I just rooted & installed GingerShedBread (CM7) & have over 100MB free after installing 45 apps to internal storage.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
I've just done some partition tweaks and now have 200+ apps with 118 mb free... xD
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
That is weird that the -h option isn't working. It works on mine. Anyway, I guess it is the default with the df command (designed to show things in MB or GB instead of just bytes).

Now we will figure out what is using all the space in your /data directory.

su
cd /data
du -hd 1

This will show a listing of your data directory with sizes next to each folder. Normally the data and app directories will be your largest (maybe app-private if you have a lot of private apps installed). You can cd into each of the directories and run the same command and if you add "| grep M" it will only show items that have a capital 'M' in it which will show you all the files that are rated in MB vs KB.

So the command would read

du -hd 1 | grep M

Hopefully you can then figure out what is taking up all your space.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daftsynth:
It appears that I have bad sectors. The actual total size of /data is less than what shows up in "df". Any ideas on how I would repair the bad blocks?

I was able to run Ubuntu and get my Nexus One recognized by it. How do I fix the nexus one /data partition from Ubuntu? I'm assuming I would need to mount it.

I'm able to mount the /sd partition but can't see the other partitions. GParted only sees the SD partition as well when its attached with USB Storage turned on.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
I don't have my Ubuntu box to confirm, but you should be able to mount /data as rw through adb (you only need the Linux adb, not the whole sdk).

Should look something like:

$ adb-linux shell

$ su

# mount /dev/block/mtdblock5 /data yaffs2 rw

...I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daftsynth:
I will try this when I get home. But when you execute the mount cmd above, wouldnt that just mount the partition locally on the nexus one?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
Yes it would mount it locally. I don't know if you would be able to mount the data partition onto the computer due to it not passing any disc info other than the sdcard. But, while in adb, you could try and run an e2fsck. I am not sure on the exactness of these commands, but I think it would be something like this in adb while in recovery.

adb-linux shell
mount system
e2fsck -pcfv /dev/block/mtdblock5

You may need to issue an 'su' command, but I think when you use adb it automatically logs in as root.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zmat:
Hi All,

From last couple of days i am facing severe problem with my phone. It keeps rebooting all the time and once it reboots then i wont be able to use it for more than 10 mins/ 2- 3 functions...

It would suddenly pop up with "Sorry the TW launcher is not responding" and either i have to wait / force close.

I noticed one thing that this thing is happening after i had installed and uninstalled the Golauncher...

I am currently running on Froyo 2.2.

Kindly help me....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrapnel2:
You could try using a different launcher like LauncherPro, ADW etc. Or if you have your eyes set on Touchwiz you could try wiping it's data in settings>Manage Applications>TWLauncher. Or if you are really desperate you could do a factory reset. And if it still doesn't work you'd have to consider installing a custom rom and hope it fixes it. Just some suggestions, good luck
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zmat:
Thanks for your suggestion, but i dont want to Factory reset my phone. Is there any other solution.

Actually now i am realising the problem is not only Launcher, but whichever application/ function i work on will hang and the phone reboots...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrapnel2:
Hmm, it could be an app causing it since you say it has only began happening lately, maybe try uninstalling any new apps you've gotten? But if your not prepared to do this or factory reset there aren't any obvious solutions. Are you on a custom rom? If not are you on stock Froyo, Eclair or GB?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zmat:
I am currently on the stock RoM, Froyo... Actually i cleared the data on TWlauncher and now it seems to be better... its not rebooting atleast, but the response time for any operation is gone very high...

Thanks for your suggestion....
[Vibrant General] Cityboy123:
Has anyone found a cookie cleaner for the default browser on Android 2.2?? I am tired of manually having to clean the browser after 8 or 10 years of setting up Windows to do it automatically.

The only alternative/work around seems to set the default browser to no cookies and use the new Firefox 4.? for Android. You have to get two plugins one is called "Cleary" and it chooses what and when to clean, and the other is a developers plugin that is called "Quit Fennec". Once, Cleary is installed it wont activate until the browser is closed with the Quit Fennec. I tried off and on for weeks, when I had time, and it would only work once, otherwise.

Some with more experience might be able to actually stop/close Firefox another way, but a two step close and clean beats the daily or sometime hourly ritual of cleaning cookies to get my speed back. I hope this helps other frustrated users like myself.
[Vibrant General] z0phi3l:
You could stop being paranoid and not worry about a few cookies the browser saves, not like it's as big a deal you're making it out to be
