Don't forget that when you load a huge page, every element of that is in your RAM, along with any plugins necessary to display the page (flash for example) sense, let's face it, IS ram hungry so I would think that lack of available RAM is the major factor here. If only HTC had given us another 500mb eh?

That said, if only FaceCrook didn't insist on serving their buttons up in an iframe and if only devs would start loading media via html5 rather than using flash and the <object> tag which was depreciated in html4.01 and is certainly not compliant when used in xhtml or HTML5. And if only devs would stop using 3rd party hosted web fonts with crappy bandwidth and if only they'd stop writing loads of CSS hacks for IE6 which simply encourages people to continue using it and if only they'd place their analytics script at the end of the page rather than the header so when the analytics server is on a go slow, so is the page load and blah and blah and blah. Perfect world and all that.

I really do suggest trying Dolphin though, it's better in every way, the one draw back is the menu bar but no one really reads down to the very last line before scrolling so I see it as an aesthetical irritation rather than a big usability issue and they are working on it.
[HTC One X] Freka:
I love the One X and can accept any bug it has but the performance of the browser is just unacceptable to me. My Galaxy S2 ran so MUCH better than the One X in every department. I disable Flash because it stutters and lags so much that I cannot use the browser. Really is a shame because the beauty of the screen. Hopefully they fix it in an update because I use the browser daily and whether you like to admit it or not, the iPhone 4S has the best browser hands down.
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
Why nobody is talking about Opera?

It supports flash, pinch to zoom, and if you change some settings it's a great and fast browser, you can easy adjust to your likings.

I saw some suggestions in this thread but nobody suggested Opera, give it a try.

Another thread about multitasking point out that modify the min free RAM value can greatly improve the number of task system can open. Isn't this also affect browser opening huge pages? As my one x is not rooted, I can't try it out.

I think HTC just try to reserve more RAM to solve the Sense reload problem, but the value is just too high.

For me, I use stock browser, and after enable Quick control under lab setting, I found that it is actually quite fast, no lag even on complex page like engadget. Furthermore, it can display in full screen while dolphin can't at the moment.
[HTC One X] nativestranger:
Phonearena page runs perfectly smooth on my sensation xl with a single core cpu. Thats with flash enabled on the desktop site. No problems with engadget either. Not sure why the one x lags badly when pinch zooming on certain webpages. Scrolling sponse is intermittently delayed as well. The best example is the youtube desktop page. Dont tell me to use an app instead of the browser. Flash videos on the desktop page looks 10x sharper than in the youtube app. Plus many app do you need to install if you want to fully replace the browser? I buy high end phones like one x for the performance and resolution needed to display full internet experience on the go.

Some of the problems with zooming and delayed scrolling can be clearly seen here:

Notice that the sgs3 does not suffer from these issues. But most interesting is the one s running on the the same software seems much better than the one x.
[HTC One X] clank182:
Opera

Opera is the smoothest by far out of 4 browsers I tested :)
[HTC One X] nativestranger:
Opera is smooth but the layout and text management is terrible for a mobile browser. To see the tiny text you need to zoom in alot which result in alot of panning around to see pictures and text. The ics browser with text scaling and minimum font size settings let you read text comfortably with minimal zooming.
[HTC One X] Planet X:
Everybody who thinks the stock browser is ok should check this website http://www.telegraaf.nl. It is a dutch news site and it is terrible laggy in HTC One X browser. The only way to get i without lag is to disable java script. That cannot be true isn't it? But in the new Firefox beta or Chrome beta it is working fine. On all other phones I had before I never had such a laggy browser. It's a shame for a flagship phone like the One X.

Edit: Just reported the bug to HTC. Please everybody do the same...
[HTC One X] Pluto:
I like Chrome better but I'm waiting for it to leave beta cause I had a lot of FCs with it.
[HTC One X] more2come:
Maybe some sloppy rendering mechanics or caching behaviour... Nice to see that there are more users concerned about it. ICS Browser on the Sensation XL runs much better, even though it's a single core CPU! Okay, rendering resolution is a bit higher, but that's no excuse, shouldn't make that much of an impact.

Chrome and Firefox behave differently because they're based on a different browser engine.
[HTC One X] holygeesus:
All the browsers seem to react differently to different websites without any clear pattern. For example Eurogamer.net is only really smooth for me in Firefox beta with Chrome and Dolphin Browser very laggy.

So does anyone have any ideas or know of a fix.

i was using mybackup pro with mytoolbox to break the market link,,, it is the newest version of the apps.:confused::confused::confused::confused:

1-go to market setting,clean all its previuos data and cache

2-try completely uninstal the market Restart you device then Reinstal google play again and Restart then connect

3-try another google account first login on you phone then connect you phone to you computer ang login to your new google account

Hope this will be useful.

Titanium also fails to break market links on 3.5.15, and I think they said its something on Google's end that is preventing it. I'm contemplating going back to 3.4.x and stopping market updates, but waiting to see if its fixed in the next update.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungAdmire:
File Manager : Root Explorer.. If you are rooted. If you arent rooted use file manager/ Explorer

BackUp + Restore : Titanium backup for sure. Use Batch to backup all your own apps. should be easy to find in titanium backup . Menu -> batch and backup current apps. it will save all your info within the apps. to restore them scroll down and then restore apps.

Although I appreciate the additional information, its offtopic.

As far as working I would assume the same. I guess I should have been more clear in my question.

Could I buy any other Note's S Pen (in particular, since they seem to be more abundant on ebay, the GT-N7000's) to replace a lost or missing one, for an SGH-I717. Would it fit perfectly into the intended slot?

Ok here is my dilemma, I can either use my beat up refurbished Blackberry for the contest and go for the loser "price" (trade for a new Windows phone). OR... I can use my Galaxy Note against their WP for the grand prize, $1000 laptop.

[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
EDIT: I found Instagram's "advanced" camera does not work with our front facing camera.

You have to use the stock camera app for the front, the advanced camera works fine with the rear.

Will leave this up for others to see.

and as noted, to use pictures from your gallery instead of taking a new one, you have to turn GPU rendering off.

[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
Not technically.

If you turn the advanced camera off, when you hit the take picture button in Instagram, it asks you what do you want to get a picture from, camera or gallery, if you select camera, it'll bring you to the stock camera app you have, you take the picture with either front/rear camera, hit done, it'll automatically take you back to instagram with the picture ready.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robvaldy:
Is it possible to rent google movies or mspot movies on unlocked prime?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nolam20:
No. When you unlock your Prime it disables your DRM license (a program put in place to prevent theft of movies rented/bought through the Google Play Store).

(Not sure about mspot, not sure what it is)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robvaldy:
Do u think something like a hacked apk or a relock hack will be or can be developed
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nolam20:
As far as I know the DRM license can't be reforged :/

(Plus it's virtually impossible to relock, because it changes the structure of your system)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robvaldy:
Was it a mistake to unlock my prime .Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] walie:
well, have you done anything to your tablet that required the unlocking (flashing kernals, roms, etc)?

If yes, then it wasn't a mistake and you didn't consider the repercussions, like google movies no longer working

If no, then you just unlocked it because it was available and yes, it was a serious mistake and there is nothing you can do.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] apascual89:
Yes you can rent movies

Yes it is possible, get the ota rootkeeper app by supercurio. Its free n the Play Store. With the app you can follow directions to unroot watch a movie and the reroot when needed.

I believe what the play movie app checks for is root access.

It worked for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nolam20:

So just to be clear, you temp unrooted on aokp and actually watched a google play movie??? I have tried that on virtuous but have had no success...can anyone else confirm that this works?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nolam20:
Well if it asks for superuser permissions that's not necessarily it checking for root but more or less could be checking your file structure and integrity to see if you have the DRM...still, interesting...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robvaldy:
I tried that with primelicious and also tried hacked apk google videos for honey comb for **** and giggles and no luck theres got to be a way.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] apascual89:
Yes I did it again today. First time it gives me a message saying your device seems to be rooted... and it denies me access. I then go to ota root keeper temp unroot. Go back to play movies and it grants me access.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dalingrin:
Again, I'm not sure this is still true but the google movies app definitely used to explicitly check for su. It was visible in smali. It would check $PATH then also check a couple of hard coded paths. I'm guessing it does more than this now but this used to be the case.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] apascual89:
I don't know about code and those details, all I know is that I can rent movies even though I'm unlocked rooted and on AOKP build 29 4.04 by Jermaine. I was just explaining how I did it in case it would help someone.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robvaldy:
What device are u using?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nolam20:
Yes, those hardcoded paths are DRM checks.

Have you actually watched the movies. Because I have can rent a movie and view its cover in the movies app, but when I play the movie it says error 49 device rooted.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] apascual89:
Yes, unlocked, rooted and with AOKP Rom.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nolam20:
Possibly, but on the Prime let's remember that you don't need to be rooted to have an unlocked bootloader. Google considers root a security risk (Just like Blizzard does with their authenticator) . So it's not necessarily a DRM check through that, but I know it does check.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dalingrin:
It sounds like you are speaking only from conjecture. I am absolutely certain that removing the su binary would allow Google movies to play in the past. I've seen the smali and I've used this trick on my phones. Its possible that they've added additional checks but it would seem at least one person in this thread was able to play by merely moving su with one of the root keeper apps. Simply checking for the existence of a file isn't DRM to me so perhaps this disagreement is semantics.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rorytmeadows:
Keep arguing as long as it ultimately leads to development of allowing the videos to play! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] apascual89:
We're going around in circles. All that the play movies is looking for at this moment is root access. It even uses those exact words on the screenshot I posted. If you temp unroot with ota root keeper and open the app back up you WILL be able to rent movies. I don't know about any other ROM, but a least as of today I know this much:

If you unlocked your boot loader, rooted and are running the later version of Jermaines 's AOKP ROM (which by the way is extremely badass:D) you CAN rent and watch movies.

That was the original question of the OP and that is a straight answer not theory.

OP if you have doubts or if it's not working for you, let me know and we'll figure it out. If not, you can come over and we can watch some movies in my unlocked & rooted AOKP rom running Tf201.:p

Sorry for the long winded post, I'm in a good mood today.

Trust me i agree. 100%. Since i've gone to aokp, i've been trying to mount my hdd, i had to flash tons of time to try and get the oc right. But the benefit to these things is i'm learning to be more self reliant. These things are virtually impossible to screw up as long as you back yourself up.

If google movies is an important service you want, i'd go for it. You have nothing to lose.
