[Galaxy S II General] Digital1325:
That lack of reflow was quite annoying. I'm also using Opera Mobile. I like its Chrome like start screen.
[Galaxy S II General] tameracingdriver:
I never had a problem with text reflow in the stock browser.... but the fact it gave checkerboard patterns all the time when scrolling made me try other browsers.

I've tried Miren, Opera and Dolphin HD. Personally, I find them all about equally as good, but in different ways. I like the interface of the latest Dolphin HD the best but Miren seems a smidge faster, and Opera faster still.
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
I think chrome's start screen is Opera like ;) (seriously opera looked like that, with the speeddials, years before chrome was released)
[Galaxy S II General] Digital1325:
Ah, never knew that. Thanks for the correction :)
[Galaxy S II General] grisha1:
Opera Mobile.

Had Miren for a while, also Stock, tested Dolphin HD.

Opera mobile brings its own presto engine, not using web kit like stock and Dolphin.

This results in best rendering and by far better HTML5 compliance (best of all mobile browsers on all platforms).

Speed is great with ~60'000 in browsermark, slightly more than stock and Dolphin.

Different flash contents on one page can be activated separately.

I like opera link a lot as well.

With opera:config countless settings are available, including user agent.

We gotta admit safari is a damn good browser for phones :( i seriously wish it could be ported somehow.
[Galaxy S II General] Stitch!:
U guys recommend opera mini or the normal browser? Mini is supposed to be faster right?
[Galaxy S II General] benjatt:
You've got to get Opera mini for when you you only have g, not 3/4g signal. It will still download the webpage when normal browsers just get stuck.
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
nope, I would never even consider it for my shortlist, it really has no remarkable features (it has few features period), no outstanding speed, no great UI either if I use an iphone I start op opera for browsing, safari is just utter crap really...
[Galaxy S II General] w4yn3s:
I tried Dolphin hd its a little bit smoother then stock

But until now i haven't found a browser who can handle with Rapidshare sites

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II General] Dr.Sid:
Mini uses Opera servers to compress and preprocess the pages .. but it has less features, and the pages may look a bit different, some may not work at all.

So as long as you don't really need to minimize data flow, go for mobile. Btw. mobile too can use this preprocessing (Opera Turbo in settings).
[Galaxy S II General] tolis626:
If stock had text reflow like HTC's browser(For some reason I love HTC's browser,although it's slow) and was coded smartly enough to remember the change in useragent,I'd be happy with it.For now I'm not.Opera,Dolphing,Firefox...Depending on the mood! :p
[Galaxy S II General] mkioshi:
Opera Mobile works with duckload, filesonic, megaupload, megashare... Haven't tested with rapidshare specifically but it's the only one which works with no glitches on these sites, presumably because it uses its own rendering engine.
[Galaxy S II General] krabman:
Mostly use opera, the text reflow is the best of the lot and syncs with my desktop browser. Occasionly it has issues with some sites and I use the stock browser for these as it seems to be able to render most anything.
[Galaxy S II General] dinan:
Opera Mobile is my alternative browser... I use it about equally with the stock browser.

Pros:

-VERY responsive (iPhone like), as in when you're dragging a page around the page will stick right under your finger, rather than have a delay like with the stock browser

-Text reflow at any zoom level

-Not as intensive as the stock browser, uses less battery (so you can browse longer as tested on GSMarena)

Cons:

-Not quite as smooth when zooming in but it's negligible

-SOME sites don't seem to load correctly but it's very rare, 99% work. If not, I switch to the stock browser.

Other:

-No separate brightness control... this may be a pro or a con to you, to me it's annoying to have a 2nd brightness control for the browser
[Galaxy S II General] abel06:
Two reasons for me against stock browser:

No text reflow

No exit button to really quit and free the ram.

My default browser: Dolphin HD: everything I want, even text reflow by double tap.

My alternative browser: Opera mobile: the best text reflow system, but no exit button...
[Galaxy S II General] jasontschan:
And the stock browser couldn't let me set the user agent to desktop permanently, that is also annoying me.:(
[Galaxy S II General] kersey:
What's the difference between Dolphin HD and Dolphin Mini. Is it the same principle as the Opera browsers where the mini one compresses and renders the web page via their server first??
[Galaxy S II General] jasontschan:
Quote from Dolphin official blog:

Dolphin Browser is built on 1.6 android platform while Dolphin Browser HD is built on android 2.0 platform. So users with 2.0 above devices can try Dolphin Browser HD, which had powerful add-ons for you to choose.

Dolphin mini is also built on Android 1.6

I played with the lapdock at the store and enjoyed the mirroring, however, is there a mod to enable or emulate multi touch scrolling? Is it a hardware limitation or is it fixable?

Also, any news regarding any major webtop changes with the supposed GB update?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Mgamerz:
Use two fingers? Afaik it is by default, just scroll in reverse.

Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G on the network with the most backhaul, whatever that is. This post might have errors as I hate touchscreen keyboards.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] bleuiko:
Multi-touch is not supported by the Lapdock out of the box.

I would love this mod too if available.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Mafisometal:
it should support multi touch, the device itself has the capabilities...

I was considering asking the AT&T rep to sell me the dock they have on display :D
[Atrix 4G Accessories] tkmking:
Exactly, how are we supposed to do things like zoom out when playing angry birds fullscreen?!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Mgamerz:
I thought it did? Look for lapdock video reviews... I could have swore I saw them scrolling.

Playing games with the android screen on the webtop is so slow games really suffer.....

[Atrix 4G Accessories] barry99705:
The display models have multitouch enabled, the retail models don't... :mad:
[Atrix 4G Accessories] skunz35:
so has anyone tried to figure out how to enable this?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] pukemon:
if somebody can find out the manufacturer and model of the touchpad you might be able to google it and find out if it's capable.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] barry99705:
If you google it, you'll find that the hardware in the stores is different than what consumers get. The general consensus is it's different hardware.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] NibblerWeather:
Different hardware for display units and review units is kind of shady.....Im crossing my fingers that webtop gets some improvements with the gingerbread OTA

I went back into the at&t store, and tried the laptop dock on display. It wasn't multitouch.
[Nexus S Accessories] kyleds:
Hey guys,

My headphones broke on my nexus s, wondering if the One that came with the evo 4g will work. Honestly I dont like the in ear one that it came with. Anyone know of one that is black and is like the evo 4g or iphone headset that works with our phone.

Thanks
[Nexus S Accessories] zephiK:
Why don't you just try it? I don't see why it wouldn't work. They're all 3.5mm jacks.
[Nexus S Accessories] mntbkr:
Yes they work.
[Nexus S Accessories] HarrisY:
Not sure if you were saying you didn't like the in-ear headset the Nexus S comes with, but here's a link to that pair. They're also included with the Galaxy S devices, and I personally think they're very well built Samsung headphones at an absolutely unbeatable price.

[HTC Sensation] eadred:
I got a sensation replacement due to a defective previous unit. I have somehow the feeling that when set on auto brightness, it is not as luminous as was the previous one.

Do you guys believe it is possible to have different screen luminosity between two different units of the same model?

I believe both screens were made by sharp.
[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:

I received my galaxy tab yesterday .

Today i noticed the the LCD screen seems to be a bit off center .

Nothing major but it is not alligned with the black frame .

I looked at a friends tab and he has the same issue but in another corner .

I think its a build issue .

RAM mounts (http://www.ram-mount.com) claims to have a holder that will fit that Tab 10.1 It is model RAM-HOL-TAB6U which they claim also fits the Motorola Xoom. It seems weird that these tables differ in all dimensions by several mm and yet the same mount is listed for both. Anyone have experience with this or with RAM mounts in general? They seem to be a pretty big name in this field. They certainly charge enough.

I just pre ordered a 4G one from Verizon this morning.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] TabGuy:
I got it and it does the job. I use it as a passenger when my wife is driving and stick it on the passenger window in front of me.

It's a lot of weight hanging off the end of that arm so it bounces a little.

It's not the greatest but it's certainly worth what I paid for it.

I just ordered a RAM twist-lick suction cup mount and the generic xoom/galaxy mounting platform for my upcoming trip to ireland. Will let you all know how it works out. Nervous about that much money hanging on the windshield.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] su6oxone:
I just got mine yesterday (TAB6U) and it does *not* fit the 10.1 tab. The 10.1 is slightly wider (the narrow side) than the Xoom and so it will not fit in the two 'brackets' that hold the 10.1 tab. Maybe it fits the 10.1v, but I couldn't say.

RAM-HOL-SAM4 is the one made for the tab 10.1 suppose to be out towards the end of july.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] stupid_productions:
To re-start a dead thread, the RAM mounts for the 10.1 have been out since December, 2011 now. I've got two, one that uses a windshield mounting and one that uses the seat bolt. The mounts fit great and work great too.

Here's the seat mounted one:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] spoolmakjeep:
Ditto on the thread restart! :p

I have the RAM mount for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (RAM-HOL-SAM5U) on a twist-lock suction mount in my Jeep and it is great. Tab snaps in/out of the roller clip mount very easy, and this thing is SECURE! Great setup for using the Tab for navigation while driving.

Warning: won't work if your Tab is in a case.

Not a criticism of the Tab mount itself, but if you have the thing on a longer RAM extension arm it will wiggle a bit when you hit bumps, etc. It's a problem typical to the whole RAM series in my experience.

im having trouble downloading things in .apk format in the default browser on my sisters phone.

Do you guys have any idea how to set it up?

opera is also best browser to download with. dolphin the best to browse.

Why is downloading with Opera better?

but when i download them in html format they download too fast meaning its not the actual .apk file right?

opera works with most download sites like mediafire, filesonic, ect... while other browsers just dont and will just download a html file or just be a unsuccessful download.
[Android Apps and Games] fifarunnerr:
I just released my first application, and I'd like to share it to you guys.

Permission Monitor allows you to monitor you applications based on your preferences.

Once installed you can define suspicious permissions and permission sets. The next time you install an application with those suspicious permissions (sets), the monitor will notify you.

Never again you will need to check permissions of applications you want to download. Let Permission Monitor do that for you!

Features:

- List all your applications.

- List permissions and show applications who use them.

- Set up monitor to check installed and/or updated applications.

- Check all your installed applications for suspicious applications.

- Notify user when suspicious application is installed.

- Minimum battery usage

Bonus features of pro version:

- Whitelist certain applications you trust. No more notifications of trusted applications that use suspicious permissions.

- Show which applications use a specific permission set.

- No Ads

Because you can set your own preferences, the monitor will not bother you, unless you are installing a suspicious application.

Note: When the application fails or Force Closes, please send a mail to me and give me some time to fix it. I'll try to fix it as soon as possible.

Sounds/Looks great :) Will try and report back

[Android Apps and Games] meesterlars:
Sounds interesting! LBE privacy guard now fulfills my permission-checking needs, though. Check it out, it's spectacularly effective.

Additionally; I'm forced, against my better judgment, to tell you that "automize" isn't even nearly a word. "Automate" is and has been around for a while. I apologise for being pedantic and hope you'll accept that my intention is only to inform and not criticise you.
[Android Apps and Games] fifarunnerr:
Thanks for your feedback. I changed Automize into Automate ;)
[Android Apps and Games] fifarunnerr:
Small update released:

Version 1.01:

- Less text in main screen

- Loading dialogs can now be cancelled

- Fixed a bug in List Permissions, which caused a force close (thanks for bug report!)

- Changed notification icon, now smaller and without colors

- Fixed a bug which caused the monitor to always check updates(even when unchecked the option to do so)

- Fixed bug when there are 2 or more notifications at same time

- Fixed a bug while showing application info

- Some other small bugfixes

Sweet app!

I was looking for a convenient way to keep tabs on app permissions in a simple, generalized way, without getting entangled in any of the more over-hyped anti-malware apps, and this one seems to do the trick!

It might be nice to have some general recommendations regarding which options to check under "Select permissions to monitor." Also, more suggested permission sets might be useful. Perhaps users of the app could post their suggestions here.

Bottom line: this is a very nifty app!
[Android Apps and Games] Kumabjorn:
Would it be possible to enhance an app like that and set permissions on your own app by app? Some apps wants to read phone stats for no apparent reason at all. It would be nice to keep the app but deny it permisssion to read phone stats. Could that be done?

Hi Guys

I have a Problem whit my Phone. ATM i have RCMIX 2.0 running but this Rom eat my battery in Night from 100% to ~45%. I Read all Treads about long Battery. So i have all things off (Internet, Wlan, GPS, etc...). OK i think NP, flash another Rom. I try 3 Roms (InsertCoin 1.0.8,Ginger Villain 2.6 and Cool AceS) and i have no Lockscreen and no Themes, i can nothing do... :(

my Device

Desire PVT4 S-OFF Rooted

Wipe ALL! before Falshing (Always)

I hope anyone can help me whit this Problem.

Oh, i Use A2SD Versions.

Peace SDR
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Record your desire's battery drain in standby with battery monitor widget for ~8 hours (at best over night, the time when you sleep and cannot touch your phone). If it's over 3-7mA something is wrong.

Already calibrated your battery:

Charge till full when on

Go into recovery and wipe battery stats
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vashishtuday:
Also what u need to do is reboot and check which all processes are running in the background

i had a similar issue with google maps eating my battery in standby
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] co_dominic:
Apps

Very interesting behavior...

I assume you did not install any apps after flashing any of the new ROMs? If it's not the battery, not the ROM and not any of the phone's settings, then it's another app...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul.c:
It seems that something is leaking. You have some software which is overusing the CPU. I can't remember which version had this problem with the SMS app, it dried my battery in 4-5 hours. I would suggest to upgrade to 2.1.

Q: I use always A2SD coz i dont know what CMr2 brings (other spaces on Device ok)...but why i need it? Oo
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] status_six:
You could try Oxygen rom. The battery life is superior, and if you flash the relevant hboot after s-off, you get a huge /data partition, meaning no need for a2sd etc.

Seems to tick the boxes you need, and you can always just restore if you don't like it!

have you calibrated your battery ? Try battery calibration from the market

[XPERIA X8 General] dragan985:
Sorry for making another thread about high battery consumption, but I need some answers about my case.

The problem is that After I fully charge battery it rapidly get drained, about 3-5% per hour with everything turned off (wifi, gps, data, background data...).

I tried every tip from this forum and nothing helps!

Only thing that sometimes helps me is tu turn off my phone and remove battery for 5 mins. After restart battery consumption is good but after some time it start fast draining again.

Also, I noticed when battery goes down to 25% it stays at same percent for more than 12h (although I am using my phone for talks and sms).

THis problem persist in all custom roms, but i am not sure about Stock Rom (I had it only for few days)

What do You think: is it problem with roms (should I downgrade to stock 2.1 rom?) or it's hardware problem.

p.s. How long do You charge Your battery? (my battery is charged within 70 mins from 1% to 100%)
[XPERIA X8 General] Chris95X8:

Check power management to see what causes this huge drain ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] dragan985:
I don't see anything unusal in battery use:

in standby mode it's: display: 60%, cell standby: 20-30% and all other components are less than 5%

Is it possibly that high battery consumption is caused by low gsm signal?

I doubt it can cause such a high consumption, but who knows?
[XPERIA X8 General] oskarq:
Did you freeze google maps as Chris95X8 had suggested?

It worked for me.

Besides use task manager or something to check what apps are running.

map shows only 2% but during the night it took me more than 20% when the phone is not used.
[XPERIA X8 General] dragan985:
as I already mentioned in earlier post I uninstalled Google maps, e-mail, gmail, gtalk and facebook apps.

Just switched to Xgin 5.3 and I was suprised with battery 'till I installed fancy widget pro. Maybe widget consumes a lot of energy! Going to test it now!
[XPERIA X8 General] ctinro:
This was my problem too. I prefer to activate/deactivate wi-fi myself. I bet that in wi-fi sleep policy you don't have checked `never`. Check it and That will solve the `20-30%` to a normal percentage. In addition you can activate the `undervolt` feature.
