[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbhoyc:
I can't get kies to install on my old windows xp pc (my laptop is broke so need to use pc for now)

I'm looking for a way to get the drivers from kies installed so I can re-root my device through Odin (I updated to stock 4.0.3 a few weeks ago but want to re-root as I'm not a fan of 4.0.3)

Kies wont install on my pc tried a factroy reset but no joy. This is all I get

Can anyone help?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
yes. it is possible to install the drivers without kies. check samsung website or search this forum for the usb drivers.

What is Dolphin Engine in Beta?

Dolphin Engine (in Beta) is an improved webkit version with extensive canvas enhancement and behind-the-scenes technology that makes it the highest performing HTML5 browser available today.

What does highest performing mean?

Dolphin has placed particular attention to canvas element, 2D context and text rendering. In addition, Dolphin Engine made significant GPU technology improvements around GPU accelerated canvas rendering and optimized CPU / GPU parallel computing.

How fast? Dolphin Engine’s HTML-5 Rendering is:

5-10X faster than the default Android browser

100% faster than Chrome (at times)

Scored over a 450 when tested on HTML5test.com. (HTML5test.com is an a respected tool for testing a browser’s support of HTML5)

Try it out our latest version of Dolphin Engine, the behind-the scenes technology that makes this Dolphin Browser the highest performing HTML5 browser.

Wow, this apk is pretty legit. I can browse desktop sites on my phone with little problems whereas before on previous browsers (stock, opera, chrome): the page would have problems rendering partial frames. I'm on AOKP mtdvibrant.
[Android Apps and Games] youliaming:
test it on my defy.

through i donot like dolphin at all.
[Android Apps and Games] raycaster3:
Very fast. I dig it thanks
[Android Apps and Games] nazfalas:
Very nice! Loading of pages is the fastest I have seen, yet.

Page scrolling on my Nexus One (CM7 Nightly) is still ways behind Opera Mini, but that is not a full-fledged browser so a comparison would not be fair.

Opera Mobile has about the same scrolling smoothness as Dolphin HD so that's that, but stock browser is smooth as a baby's butt for me...would love that for Dolphin as well.
[Android Apps and Games] drpsyko:
Hmm? Dunno if it is just me or there is nothing displayed at all in the browser. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] CADude:
Ok this just became my default browser. Nothing tops this. Not even the Linaro Firefox nightlies.

[Android Apps and Games] DnaPolymerase:
Is this related to the same company who runs dolphin browser? If yes I don't want anything to do with it.
[Android Apps and Games] Static-Noise:
Installed it on my Sony Xperia S. It froze on first use and I had to reboot the phone. Tried it a second time and it froze again.

I think I'll stick to the original stable version.

because of the rush (i was late) i forgot my phone at home.

can someone tell me their html5 score on dolphin hd 8.2.2 please?

i remebre i tried it before and it was great even before the beta
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Randomly freezes loading sites for me.. I certainly don't have to reboot my phone, about 15-20 seconds later Android offers the FC/Wait dialog.. Tried it 4-5 times, sometimes it loads a few pages, other times it freezes first try.

Stock rooted Gingerbread on Galaxy Note i717.

As for the Dolphin paranoia... Ignore it. Rumor turned into fact after going around the blogs/forums a few times, you know how that goes. Was related to their "Magazine" function, which IMO useless, but wasn't any cause to freak out about. Just something about their permissions as I recall; all long fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] illcat2000:
Gimmie a break.
[Android Apps and Games] warrenis1234:
same here. although I've never been a fan, and I love my stock, and Chrome, I set it as default just to really give it a chance with everyone calling it the best browser ever..... fast, but not fast enough to accept freezing. uninstalled

also, am I the only one who thinks it just doesn't look good?

The add ons make it really custom to me, Default browser.

Can't waittotry the new one.

Just hope it can use thr same add ons.
[Android Apps and Games] Fun With Drugs:
I really can't tell a difference between this and the Dolphin HD I already use, except this beta makes all the text on the page blurry when I scroll.

What's supposed to be special about this one?
[Android Apps and Games] xstokerx:
Love dolphin HD and this beta runs nice on my optimus 3d scored 435 plus 3 bonus on html5 rodent quiet run as smooth as HD but hey its a beta can't wait for full version
[Android Apps and Games] robertsu:
Official browser should be best, but google doesn`t care, at least there are ppl who actually make this android working...

Google should get rid of their ANCIENT compiler they using to make android. Android will be ~100% faster than we have today if they use new compilers, and they probably asking why there is so many customs ROM out there...

edit: Browser working nice on HTC Desire, far from Opera Mini but better than stock on big pages. Ok, it`s still beta.

[Android Apps and Games] TheDude:
Dolphin HD has been my browser of choice since it was released. This beta is incredibly fast and smooth but it also has many bugs. I have been testing it for over a week now and find myself using Dolphin HD again. They will get them all ironed out and this will as always has been, the best browser available.

On galaxy s3 and stock has a great score but it is improved with dolphin. Will stick with stock though as I find it's smoother overall

Dolphin
[Android Apps and Games] DocEsq:
I downloaded it a few days ago from the Dolphin site. It seems to load a bit faster than my Opera Mobile. What I have noticed though is that when it zooms into a page it does not fit the text into the width of my screen. As such I need to physically scroll to the side to read what is on a website.

I have not noticed any other issues with the beta.

[Android Apps and Games] tetrahedonism:
Same here, I guess us O2X/G2X kids are out of luck, for now anyway. Dammit LG!
[Android Apps and Games] carbonize:
HTML5 Test is the new acid test with browsers rushing to get a higher score despite the fact you'll be lucky to find even 5% of HTML5 being used in the real world.

I am all for mobile browsers having better support for real websites and being leaner and faster though.
[Android Apps and Games] Jleeblanch:
As others have mentioned, Dolphin HD is my Browser of choice! I've seen Dolphin do some serious growing up!!

Unfortunately, as others have also mentioned, this new beta in it's current form isn't usable for me yet. It went thru the setup process just fine, but when trying to open ANY website, it crashes. When I open Dolphin Beta again I get the "Dolphin has crashed" message!

I'm using a MoPho 4G on CM9-unofficial-ICS by jokersax... just saying!
[Android Apps and Games] yeahmann:
What I hated about previous versions of Dolphin was that I'd zoom in on text which then reformats to fit the screen but then the text isn't where I originally zoomed into. That doesn't happen with this beta. Makes reading blogs and forums much easier.
[Android Apps and Games] Putrid Polecat:
Big Dolphin fan here. However, this beta lacks Hebrew language support so it is un unusable on those sites.

Also, it isn't noticeably faster than regular Dolphin. That may be because Wifi speed is bottlenecking it, or that I'm running gb, but I can't make this a daily driver.

Finally, it takes up a whopping 20mb which is understandable given the engine, but would be nice to pare down.
[Android Apps and Games] mattmartin77:
gifs activated on mouse hover (long click followed by back button for me on gnex) dont show up, and force close everytime i load a page with a flash video in it.
[Android Apps and Games] yeahmann:

[Android Apps and Games] carbonize:
But why would you want to watch YouTube in a browser when there is a dedicated app?
[Android Apps and Games] socos25:
Nothing but crashes for me on Epic 4g running CM9 nightlies.
[Android Apps and Games] Dathen:
At last built-in support for GIFs. It's not as smooth as in Opera or UCBrowser for example, but since it's beta I hope it will be fixed one day. Still, great job. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] yeahmann:
Why would you want a dedicated app when there's's an identical mobile site?
[Android Apps and Games] Nighty0:
On my Phone it frozen so hard that my phone rebooted automatically.

Steps:

1. A search on google by html5test

2. Then clicked on html5test.com website

3. Scored 418

4. Then m.wikipedia.org

5. Closed the tab and tried to exit the program.

After I clicked exit my system became unresponsive.

Oh and half of my launcher's icons disappeared (due to the hard reboot)

My ROM is a slightly modified Sony rom, not anything hardcore. (2.3.4)

Phone: Sony Xperia Play R800i
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
I have been running the beta now for 2 days without any problems.

No FC's, freezes, reboots, also YouTube is working without any problems.

Reading about all the problems people are having with this early beta I realize I'm one off the lucky ones :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] tidoubleger:
I hated that fact as well until I found that there was actually a setting to make it not do that. Settings > Web Content > Auto-fit Pages OFF
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I had zero luck with the beta, uninstalled it. But I use Dolphin HD as my default browser. Opera is okay, but I really only use it for a handful of sites that for some reason behave better in Opera. Plus I believe Opera is the only one with a functioning file browser, so when I need to upload a file to a website via a form, Opera.

Try Dolphin HD if you haven't, it's stable. This beta seems to have some.... specific needs or something.
[Android Apps and Games] santhoshssx:
Where is this app available. Pls give the link
[Android Apps and Games] r-l:
please buy glasses

anyhow.. it's fast but i got 2 FC today :(

i sent te report to the devs
[Android Apps and Games] daredavepl:
on my note 4.0.3 no problems. very fast. Good browser
[Android Apps and Games] washyourhands:
Does the icon for Dolphin browser bother anyone else? It is too small. When placed on the bottom of a launcher (like TW, or Sense) it is too small compared to the rest of the icons it is next to. It just does not look very uniform. Frankly this is the only thing that stops me from using it as it is a very fast launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] LGXX:
This is just the perfect browser!

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 PM ----------

I've had to reflash my ROM a few times and Dolphin Engine hasn't always worked. I found that I need to uninstall Dolphin HD, all add-ons, and Flash first. Then install Engine followed by all the add-ons and Flash. I don't know if all those steps are necessary but it does work.

Interesting that the html5test score is higher on ICS. So I guess Engine isn't doing all the rendering.
[Android Apps and Games] raycaster3:
Same here. uninstalled it for this reason. Gotta have a fully functional browser. It is very fast though and I look forward to more stability.
[Android Apps and Games] milanello99:
Does not work on my Galaxy Note GT-N7000...:(
[Android Apps and Games] aussiebum:
? Works fine here. Slightly modded stock LQ2 + franco r6.

Only two problems noticed so far is graphics glitch (once) and the Downloads screen causing wakelock, requiring a reboot.

It does feel faster than standard dolphin but the stock ICS Galaxy Note browser still feels faster imo.
[Android Apps and Games] HTCDreamOn:
Doesn't install but takes up space :S ?

This looked great but...

After trying to install it once it said I didn't have enough internal memory (I had around 14M) :(

Tried again after uninstalling a few apps which gave me around 17Mb.

Then when I tried to install it, I got a message saying it hadn't installed...tried again... still same message, but I had enough free memory (it didn't explicitly say I didn't)

But here's the catch: I received the beloved "You has no memories" warning, but I thought "but it didn't install? Did it? I checked all my installed apps and.. no. No Dolphin Engine Beta.

I then checked how much free memory I had, and it was around 9Mb, just on the borderline for my favorite no free storage message :crying:

I rebooted my phone repeatedly but still have only 9Mb left. I have checked in /system/app/ for a dolphin .apk but cannot find anything, and also in /data/app . Is there anywhere else it could have"installed" but not installed (if you get me)?:confused:

BTW, if you were wondering why I have such little internal storage it's because I'm using a HTC Dream, which is, err.. limited in this area.

Oh yeah, and I have not made a backup of any kind before doing the install/fail install. So... kinda my fault, but any help would be good :) . Also, this is kinda going to put me off attempting to install this in the future. I just want my space back :(
[Android Apps and Games] Galactus:
Meh uninstalled for now. Kept my phone from deep sleeping even after I exited from the app and force closed it lol
[Android Apps and Games] sinisin:
Ive been using this for a couple weeks now. Everytime I start the browser it comes up with a warning screen that informs me Dolphin Labs doesnt support my phone. But all the labs settings work just fine. As far as being faster, I dont notice any real difference in Dolphin Engine vs Dolphin Browser HD. Ive used Dolphin since my first android and will continue to use them as long as they stick around. All in all Im pleased with it, but I really dont notice any difference between this Beta and Dolphin HD.
[Android Apps and Games] sinisin:
Can anyone get the new beta that pops up on the new tab page to download? Every time I try to DL it I get a parsing error. I think its version 1.0.4.1 or something close to it.

[Android Apps and Games] primetechv2:
People are scared of this because Dolphin Browser was once infamous for data mining -- sending EVERY URL you visited, including all (GET) query data to their mothership. That includes every porn site, Google search, etc.

They got in trouble with the community because there was no notification data was going to be mined. More recently the company seems to have distanced themselves from this, but there's still a bad taste in the mouths of many users, including myself. Recently it seems better...

[Android Apps and Games] primetechv2:
Here's a link to refresh your memory. There are several more sources cited, but the short story is Dolphin was operating behind their users' backs, then when found out, they lied about having fixed the problem. That cuts deep.

[Android Apps and Games] mikeblock:
You know, its funny.. I am using an og Epic with The Peoples ROM, and this performs as advertized. True, it is buggy, and sometimes sluggish, but for a beta? AWESOME! All I can say to the people who say this is "crap software, uninstalled" or is this from the same people who have dolphin if so, I'm not interested" is: grow up, quit being a nooB, and quit blaming software for your "crap" hardware! Hell, my phone is 2 years old, and I know almost nothing about writing software! What's that say about YOUR abilities? Just saying.........

---------- Post added at 06:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 AM ----------

Quote from the Geek.com link above: "As for the ding on Dolphin’s attention to privacy concerns, webzine mode didn’t appear to be passing any information that your ISP or corporate firewall —or even Google Analytics code in the sites you’re visiting —wouldn’t be gathering anyway." What? Your all pissy about what? Sorry to be so abrasive, but I see this kind of drivel from a lot of people who should know better.....

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Don't see anything in the systems files that would indicate Mitsubishi stereos being blacklisted. Have you tried any other Bluetooth devices? Maybe go to a stereo store and see if you can pair to other car head units. Could be a defect with the phone. Maybe others can chime in on whether they were able to get the phone paired with their Mitsubishi head units or not.
