what's with the Hype with Chrome?

I see most people are using Chrome as their default ICS browser... Why? What advantage does it have over the stock ICS one?

I recently switched from the stock Sense 4.0 (terrible IMO, slow, laggy, stupid pop up menu, 4 tabs) to ICS Browser+, essentially just the stock ICS browser. I love it, but I see everyone using Chrome, why?

I tried Chrome, but somehow, the web page format seems weird, and fonts are large etc, its kinda hard to explain, but if you load up the same page on different browsers, you will the difference.

Also, Chrome takes up like 60mb+ :eek:

So why do you use chrome? :)

Desire S • Fallout V2.0.0 • xda premium
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Chrome is AWESOME. It syncs all my bookmarks between my PC and phone, I can open pages that are on my PC on my phone too. This is enough for me, I mostly use my PC for browsing, and I find syncing bookmarks among devices too useful to switch to another browser. Another thing I like is that fonts are bigger, chrome adds some kind of zoom to all the pages which increases font size and makes them more "readable" on the 3.7 inch screen (which you don't like for some reason, even though you were one who always wanted bigger fonts on Sense 3.5 :p )
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Lol, doesn't the normal browser kinda do the same thing already? I mean it syncs your bookmarks from your Google account? Is that different from Chrome? Cause I have Chrome on my PC, but I rarely use it, I use Opera 12 :)

Also yeah, the fonts lol. On Sense 3.5 I complained because the icons across the whole platform shrank, like the settings menu has tiny fonts etc.

But it just sort of looks weird in Chrome, like squashed up, but like you said, I guess it's a feature :)

Desire S • Fallout V2.0.0 • xda premium
[HTC Desire S] jacmeister:
Shrome99 is right

Chrome is perfect for everyday browsing especially if its your daily driver on your pc.

Chrome to phone is awesome and the interface is the same as the pc.

I use Chrome mostly but if needing to look at flash content I use the stock browser.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I used chrome but also didn't like it.

Dolphin is miles better. Chrome is the browser on my computer as well but the app doesn't live up to the expectations set by the desktop version at least not for me. Flash player was one big reason. And like Oly said, not a big fan of how it lays out web pages. I think once it matures (Jellybean maybe?) I'll switch to it but for now, Dolphin does everything better + more. I don't really use my bookmarks anyway. Although does chrome on android display the pages I frequently visit on my desktop and lay them out like the desktop version?
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
Yes it does......

Tapatalked from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3 sources. WAKE UP HTC!!!!!!
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
You need to remember the fact that dolphin is at a really stable stage. It's been dominating the list of Android web browsers for a long time. Chrome is like a new kid on the block, still in beta. A lot of stuff is being worked on, and I'm pretty sure it won't be the stock browser in JellyBean for exactly that reason. I had Dolphin on my phone till today, I decided to uninstall it this evening along with a few other junk apps that I no longer use. But I agree completely, the desktop version of Chrome smashes rest of the competition, while the mobile version has a lot of other browsers' expectations to live up to.
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
I was using Chrome till now on ics, gonna give ics browser plus a longish run, looks promising

[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Looks great! I was told this by the One X forums, and I was searching for it! Your forum is soooo big!!

Anyway, I'm confused, why is this posted in the General forum, and the the Android Development forum??
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Yes it is damn big, if you respond at a thread and go back to the forum the chances are high you need to scroll down to open the same thread again.

I really can't tell why it is at the general forum, maybe because it isn't released yet, but that's just a suggestion.

[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Yep that's why. They did the same for the Nexus S build and it was moved to development when they released it.
[HTC Desire S] danutHD:
Hello,

I have an Desire S and i am quite happy with t, but still there are some issues that i wish i could solve. My phone keeps restarting during calls and then recovers with an messae telling me that sense had stopped working. Htc told me that i should run the phone in sfe mode and see if works. Well it kept doing that.

Is there any way that i could flash the whole original rom without s-off and rooting? It has come to my mind that maybe, the update from sense 2 to 3 did not go well.

Thank you.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Got a few hands-on minutes with the S3 yesterday, didn't have a chance to properly test it off course, but it was usefull:

- Seems snappy enough, but off course it would, wouldn't it?

- Sometimes does feel "slowish", but that's due to the animation speed on the interface, easily modded

- Screen beats the **** out of the One S

- It's not that big. This was a revelation to me!

- I'm sorry to say, but out of the box, Sense 4 is way more polished. This is purely aesthetics. I'm a sucker for the new "whitish" menus on Sense 4, going into the S3 settings was like going back in time.

So what did my time with it accomplish? It pretty much reduced the chances of me getting a One S to zero. Note that it was pretty much already Zero since this processor downgrade circus trick that HTC pulled. I would have to buy it online, and would never risk getting the overclocked-last-year-version of the phone.

Now that I know a screen that size is manageable by me, I guess that when the time comes, it will be the S3 or the HOX. Honestly, if someone comes up with a S-OFF alternative to htcdev, HOX has 90% chances. If not...

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I'll be waiting for you on the other side, my friend. :)
[HTC Desire S] jacmeister:
Agree with me entirely concerning the HOX, Im sure that S-OFF will be coming soon as i said before there is a $1900.00 bounty to the first person to do it and my friend who excels at this says told me that he is getting closer to getting it. Fingers crossed LOL :p
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
That would indeed be something, wouldn't it. But I'm kinda sure S-Off still won't rectify the many hardware and build issues plaguing the HOX. If not for the fixed, mediocre battery and these issues, I would have gone for the One X myself, being the Sensaholic that I am (@lowveld, missing the UI from Fallout on the S3). But gambling away that kind of money isn't something i'd do lightly, hence the S3.

The other BIG reason is the ambiguous warranty policy regarding unlocking bootloaders via HTCDev. That would have solved the many software issues in a jiffy, but what if I developed a faulty digitizer one day? Who's to say HTC wouldn't show me the door (or the nearest ATM) quoting their famous "illegal" software modification as the reason for voided warranty, regardless of the nature of malfunction?

Two main issues, that's all. I could probably live with the fixed internal memory (25GB) I say probably because I've already used up 5 out of the 16 GBs on my GS3 internal memory - try shooting cam videos in 1080p and see how it chews up memory... but I have my old 16GB card from the DS to back me up (3.5 GB remaining) which I can always upgrade to a new 64GB one - already available (or 128GB when it is launched - as the S3 supports ExFAT)

In the end, it boils down to getting what you want...but in this particular case, the choice got sucked right out of my lungs by HTC doing what they did and avoiding what they shouldn't have.

Peace. :)
[HTC Desire S] jacmeister:
Very salient points, which is why I never kept mine.

Over time HTC will get the HOX right , the WiFi has been solved today, apparently it was a hardware issue

Once s_off arrives I can then be confident of unlocking the bootloader. Will then buy back in and get one sim free.

I still think about that screen.The screen on the HOX is the best I have ever used on any phone period.

[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Hey guys, any of you have Tasker installed?? What can you do with it? Is it worth the price? I heard a lot about it, just wanted to know your opinions before buying.
[HTC Desire S] jacmeister:
sorry not here.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Depends, it is a very mighty tool, to set profiles/tasks related to place, context,... means i.e. you can set:

when you start maps gps gets enabled and when you leave it, it gets disabled

or

you set a profile to enable wlan, put the phone to silent mode and disable mobile data when you get home and when you leave home you let it reverse the settings...

It's worth the price for my opinion, but like already said, it depends on your usage and if your willing to get used to it (it's sometimes a bit tricky to get the profile set correctly and it isn't that intuitive to handle).
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
It is worth the price if you put it to good use. The things it can automate for you are amazing. But it does come with a somewhat steep learning curve, and while you can get the basic stuff configured pretty easily, given your aptitude, the profiles with manually definable variables are a little tricky to configure. But it's an awesome toy/tool to play around with, and I would definitely advise you to try it out.

Cheers. :)

I've been a big fan of tasker. There is a steep learning curve, but did a starter tips in that guide of mine. Actually, best update the link. It's probably expired.

Also with rooted phones you can control cpu too. Like under clocking for using sat nav to stop the phone heating up.

Well worth the money. There is also massive tutorial thread in the general android apps section. Gets very in depth in there.

Thanks for the opinions guys, I'll get the app :)

Did anyone see the Microsoft Surface? What are your opinions on that?? Seems nice to me, if Microsoft prices it right. Never really liked any Android tablet, but with bluestacks, the Surface can probably run all Android apps. Plus, it has a full USB port.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I like it but I don't think the price will be cheap. Especially with the one which has ivy bridge. With that kind of spec I think it's designed to be something much more than a tablet. It has the potential to be a serious iPad killer. The UI is very nice on touchscreens and the specs are seriously good
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
Surface really looks interesting. I always thought that a windows 8 tablet would give real competition to ipad. But as someone rightly said

"Until Surface *ships* it's not an iPad competitor, an ultrabook competitor, or even a PlayBook competitor. It's a promo video"

So we will see when it is out. And yes I am interested in the Intel Core i5 version.

Mines tomorrow!!! But my summer doesn't start yet, since I'm doing A-Level Chemistry, I have to go into school for 'revision lessons' for next year... What a joke. And its like only an hour a day, so I have to go to school just for that... It's only 5 days though..

Also I have a music grading on Monday :(

And after, I have to still go to school for rehearsals for the Summer music concert.

So my Summer basically starts when school term finishes lol.

Russia? :D we are doing the USA.. do you learn about Lenin/Stalin before WW2? Sounds fun, I read an article on Stalin's preserved body recently...

Anyway, best of luck with tomorrow!

[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Thanks! We do the years 1917-1939. It's pretty interesting before Stalin. Then it just seems kinda repetitive. That's interesting. I knew about Lenin's body being preserved but didn't know about Stalin's!

I did USA last Tuesday. It was 1945-1970. Worst paper for me with all the source interpretations. Just can't do it.

German sucks. I have a week to revise for it and I won't. I would've preferred to have it first like french so a lot of the stuff from lessons would still be with me.

That's unlucky! I'm so glad to have July off but I know I'm going to be so bored. It'll pay off for you in the long run! Good luck as well tomorrow!

[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Holy crap I just used a GS3!

Enigmaamit, Tectas and Pughie, what an upgrade!

Blown away. The screen is so clear, even though it is pentile, I honestly couldn't tell.

I compared it next to the iPhone 4S, and the colours on the iPhone are really washed out, and even seems blurrier!

The speed is immense. Web Browsing is so so so smooooth...

App launching is instant. Only downside is the home button delay, pressing the home button takes about 2 seconds to register before it takes you home... Same problem on the original, and SGS2 though. Don't know why it's there.

But I am really impressed with the GS3! So jealous! :D

Trying to look for a One X now to use and compare to the SGS3...
[HTC Desire S] jacmeister:
OH OH !!

Looks like you could have your head turned. Imagine what its like with AOKP on it ??:laugh:
[HTC Desire S] dannyhoughton74:
Thanks for the info on GS3, As soon as you've tried a One X give us some info, Exploring my upgrade options, So far i'm swaying to GS3 with the Sense port :eek:

will still be keeping my DS as a second handset, Love the DS community on here and can't bring myself to move away
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Haha! It's already damn fast on the stock ROM, imagine what devs could do :eek:

I'd pick this phone hands down, given the choice, but unfortunately price is a strong limiting factor...

But seriously, it looks and feels amazing in person, the press photos don't do any justice. From the pictures, the pebble blue looks like.cheap plastic, but in person, it's got a really nice Chrome finish which makes it look and feel premium.

Sadly, there O2 and CPW don't sell the Galaxy Nexus anymore?! I asked them and they said its been discontinued and replaced with the GS3... Was looking to have a good play with that, as that is the strongest contender for my next phone!

No problem! Unfortunately, doesn't seem to be a One X anywhere to use :( Been searching through various shops with no luck :(

If I do upgrade to whatever device, I wil surely keep my beloved DS too :D

I don't really like the other forums, too big!!

Cheers guys!
[HTC Desire S] bronx:
I must admit, that although 1x looks a tad nicer, gs3 left me more impressed. I definitely need to check that official pebble blue, as the one I've seen few weeks ago looked quite cheap, like painted with some cheapo nail polish. :)
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Thanks oly. The lag that you speak of is because of a setting that allows you to launch S voice by double pressing on the home button. So after the first tap the phone is still waiting for a possible second press, and hence the delay. Just disable that option and the home button works instantly. Lightning fast like everything else about the phone.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Ah, thanks for the clarification! I bet that device is a dream to play games like GTA and Mass Effect on...

Yap! So, this is wot i tried.

Power Off Phone > Check in cmd , it shows up in recovery.

Close cmd , Open up a new window > adb devices > Nothing there for 4-5 seconds.

But, it agains pops up in recovery after a few tries of adb devices.

EDIT : I just noticed, that it doesn't show up when the charging LED is Red for the first few seconds. But, once it turns Green , the phone is visible in recovery in adb devices! Also, i am able to reboot the phone by the command adb reboot.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Wait I just remembered, isn't adb a feature in 4EXT? If that's what you're using.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
I guess he means it is completely powered off, but adb recognizes it and shows as status recovery.

Indeed wired behavior, but must confess I haven't ever checked it.

Yes, I am using 4EXT Recovery. But, how is anything related to recovery / 4EXT supposed to show up when i power off the phone ! :confused:
