When I updgraded to ICS, Dolphin HD behavior changed in several ways - all of them for the worse.

If these were global issues under ICS, I'm sure I could find info on them elsewhere.

I'd like to narrow down whether changing ROMs would resolve any of these problems, or whether it's something specific to my setup.

So, if you're a Dolphin HD user, can you reply with info on which ROM you're using and whether or not you've seen any of these problems? [Yes, I'd like to hear from people for whom Dolphin is working fine.]

1) In Gingerbread, long-pressing on an empty area of the screen loaded a menu (close tab, find on page, etc)

I can no longer get that menu on ICS

2) In Gingerbread, when I highlighted text and chose Share, Dolphin would send the URL and Page Title along with the selected text.

ICS only shares the selected text, without any contextual info.

3) Open Link in New Tab / Open Link in Background Tab only work intermittently under ICS. Frequently, no tab is created at all - foreground or background.

4) The Dolphin: Evernote Add-on (com.dolphin.browser.addons.evernote) creates notes with empty bodies. In Gingerbread, it copied the webpage into Evernote.

5) New tabs frequently display a label of aaaaaaa instead of the title or URL.

FWIW, I went from Stock Gingerbread (rooted) to the Kies update (which I then rooted).

Thanks for any info. Needless to say, this has been extremely frustrating.

Yea I also experience #3 pretty often, it is pretty frustrating. I'm using Team Objection ROM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
I've used dolphin for 2 years, I'm currently on a Rom that is not on xda, it's a cm9 based Rom though.

Long pressing on a page only brings up the text selection, can't recall the menu you're referring to haven't been on gingerbread since the first leak.

New tab opens every time with the proper url displayed. Actually, open link in New tab, is my default behavior.

Don't use any add ons so Idk.

Don't use the share option, never have, o just copy the url and send that to whomever i wish to share with
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] silver03wrx:
Same here been on dolphin since the htc hero lol

Best browser. None even come close.

Long press brings uo text selection

Long pressing links. Prompts. Such things as open in new window/tab

Havent had the issues you is.

I used dolphin browser for a while but then I switched to chrome, its awesome I love how everything is synchronized with my computer and how smooth the tabbed browsing is

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] canufrank:
#1 and 2 are true on stock Motoblur ICS, so this is not a ROM issue.

#3 - 5 work fine for me.

#1 works on Dolphin Mini. #2 crashes Dolphin Mini

I, too, don't know why this issue isn't found elsewhere. I'll be raising a bug report with Dolphin, for whatever that's worth.
[Nexus 7 General] coddy:
Hello everyone,

I've been looking around for a tablet for a few weeks and the Nexus 7 is on the list of possibles.

I was just wondering if it would be a good idea to hang on for a refurbished Nexus 7. Are there more 8gb versions going back than 16gb's? Reading all the feedback Google must be awash with returns and I was wondering how they intend to move these products on. (Apple sell refurbished ipads on their website)

what do you reckon? Worth waiting for a refurb? :confused:
[Nexus 7 General] BrianDigital:
If they do openly sell them, I say go for it. I only experienced the screen lift, and is probably an easy fix.

As for people with screen dead spots/washed out color. I can only imagine the only way they fix it is with a new display, so that would be another go for it. That's if they sell as refurbed.

Bit seeing this device has such a small profit margin, I doubt they will sell refurbed devices
[Nexus 7 General] aliaselchore:
i would buy a refurbished one. im currently in the process of returning mine, screen lift and light bleed, and i would definitely buy a refurbished unit. all refurbished items i have bought before (phones,laptops,tablets,ipods) have work just fine like new............ and their always cheaper
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
I was just thinking of how much these will sell for in a year or two. They're cheap new.... so ~$100 resell? Seems crazy.

Refurbs probably won't be THAT much cheaper, maybe $150. I'd almost rather just buy new. I don't think your really going to save hundreds like you could with a 10" tablet of yesteryore.
[Nexus 7 General] Evo_Shift:
Refurbished units will have gone through more QC than new units. I would go for it. I bought my kindle fire refurbished and it was perfect.

>Refurbished units will have gone through more QC than new units. I would go for it. I bought my kindle fire refurbished and it was perfect.

The majority of times, refurbs aren't actually refurbs, but new units marked down and relabeled. It's one way to move excess inventory w/o impacting the SRP. That KF you got is most likely new.

BTW, you can definitively tell whether a CE is "new" or refurb by cracking it open. Those that have been opened (refurbed) will always leave tell-tale traces.

N7 is still supply-constrained for the near future, so chance for an "unofficial" markdown is slim. One way that could change is if upcoming competition from Amazon and Apple is fiercer than expected.
[Nexus 7 General] KyleK29:
I'd wait. I've had good luck with refurb devices in the past. Amazon sold the Kindle Fire for $140 refurbed a few months after release.

That wouldn't make sense from a business perspective. It's better to replace the screen (or parts) and sell refurbed for a $60 loss over just trashing the unit for a $170 loss. Not everything has to turn a profit, just minimize the loss.

I would almost guarantee there's a refurbed unit. But whether it's available in the US is another thing.
[Nexus 7 General] jsm7483:
I see a long time ahead before refurbs hit the market. Probably a year. In the meantime they will take the parts and use them when someone sends in for warranty repair. Just because thee is screen separation does not mean you get a new unit. It might right now due to their inventory. But give it a month and you will start seeing refurbs sent out for warranty repairs.
[Nexus 7 General] theslowhand:
Aaaahhh... maybe they're selling to other countries as new...

A little shady, but possible where their laws wouldn't prohibit such an action[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
If you want it, why torture yourself and wait for a used unit only to save a few bucks?

You could check the XDA Market for guys selling theirs for a few bucks less or do yourself a favor and Buy it now and buy it new, with a warranty at a brick and mortar store in case you need to exchange it for another in the event there is some defect (screen lift).
[Nexus 7 General] Mwinggg:
refurbished ones should have more qc, new ones are like beta coz of the numerous issues, i say go for it if u can find it, saving a few bucks is another plus
[Nexus 7 General] csm121295:
What is that "tell-tale" traces?

What is that tell-tale traces left on opened refurbs you are talking about? And what does "CE" mean?

Just curious...

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rakhov:
My apologies, I linked to an image but apprently new users can't do that quite yet heh. Well, I suppose the next best thing is to discuss this.

Is it possible to get it back/front mix of both colors for the forum image.

Now that I think about it, wit this red one coming out now...this could get a lot more difficult then first imagined. I suppose its just going to have to be one or the other. Not that I don't like the white ones, its just I think the blue is a lot more...distinct?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rakhov:
I like the white, I really do. It's clean looking, it's damn sexy.

I just...I don't know... I see some light bleed with the capacitive buttons. Though that's not much of a turn-off for me, it just doesn't give that "defined" look I guess. I really like the brushed look on the blue. I wish they could of done something with the white, maybe a silver brush? I hear people that usually get the white one aren't a fan of this brushed look though.

Still to this day one of the sexiest plastic finishes for laptops had to be the HP's for a while. They weren't much for scratch resistance, but some of the designs and textures were awesome!

Has anyone gotten to play with the red one yet? Thing looks amazing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stumpyz9:
You can get replacement battery doors off ebay that are white with brushed aluminum for like $12

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] a legacy reborn:
Let's change it to a neutral color that the S3 doesn't come in! Maybe something like pink?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] matt868686:
if you go to settings->display->touch key light duration you can set the capacitive buttons to be always off. since they flank the physical home button on either side, you can't really mess up hitting them as long as you memorize right side is back and left is menu. i think it makes the phone look super sleek and clean if they never light up. i do have the pebble blue version tho and my capacitive buttons are essentially invisible when not lit up.

probably adds a little battery life too...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kgbkny:
I have the Pebble Blue, my wife has the Marble White. I personally prefer the blue, but to each their own.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyebeekaii:
Hello,

I am a kind-of-advanced Android user. I know my way well around the os, but i'm not a programmer of any kind.

I recently bought a fairly cheap Yarvik tab (TAB264) running ICS 4.0.3. with a USB host and so far it has nothing else than impressed me !

What i'm trying to do is connect a game controller via USB to play games in emulators. I have a authentic PS3 controller with usb cable and an Xbox controller for the PC, with a USB dingle for wireless connection to the pc / tablet. I do not have bluetooth on my device, but i do have a bluetooth dongle. However, this is not plug and play. If i plug in a keyboard, mouse of mass storage device the tablet will recognise it. With a bluetooth stick this is not the case. I have seen serveral video's where people just plug in their xbox controller and it works, they only have to map the keys in to emulator and they are good to go. In my case, as with the bluetooth dongle, it is like its not recognised.

Is there a way to download drivers for either one controllers, universal controller support or the bluetooth stick ?

in short:

- Can i use the PS3 controller via usb ?

- Can i use to Xbox controlle via usb ?

- Can i install drivers for the bluetooth stick so i can use the ps3 controller wireless (whis would be awesome since bluetooth would be nice)

I hope for a fast response :) thanks in advance !

with the offical ota update coming for jellybean could you just flash it in cwm cause i really want to try it and will team eos speed and so on improve when it comes out
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airesch:
OTA update: only if you are on a stock release. The OTA update file only includes changes from the previous release and (in the case of JB) won't probably apply to anything other than the stock ICS rom.

EOS: only time will tell, but there is a decent chance of them getting some improvements out of what Motorola releases.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandogg:
There should be a flashable zip after a while. Motorola always releases recovery images for the Xoom, don't they?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airesch:
Yes, but like I said, the image will only work if you are on the correct ota release to begin with (it's not a full image like the custom roms you would install)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alphaghost13:
I was just wondering since we now have our own Q&A, what is everyone running? Which ROM, Kernel, custom tweaks? I only ask because I myself am running latest CM9 with Trinity Alpha 37 Kernel. It is running very smooth and have had no problems, but I find myself wanting to go back to Stock because of the little extras, ie camera. So just want to get everyons experiences. Please don't hate lol.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynoNobel:
I've read a bunch of threads but haven't found a solution to my particular problem.

I've had my Nexus since April, and all was fine until about 3-4 weeks ago when I noticed that no matter how long I left the phone charging it wouldn't go past 88%. Getting married in August and working a lot of overtime, I have been frustrated by this issue but have done nothing about it, so over time I've been watching as it was maxing out at 84%, then 80% then 76%, 74%, 72%, 70%...it now will not charge past 66% and by the end of the week it will probably be 62%!

So, I have tried three different chargers (one that came with Nexus, the one tht came with my fiancee's HTC One X, and a no name). I have replaced the battery (a friend has the same phone with a spare battery). Nothing changes. This is clearly not the "well it reaches 100% and then stops charging even while plugged in to save the battery" thing that most threads talk about. It's not the charger and it's not the battery.

It's the phone (or the software). I'm not positive I even understand what "rooting" a phone is so it's safe to say that it is not rooted. It is an out of the box Galaxy Nexus that has only had official updates (currently running Jelly Bean but the problem did begin before it updated from ICS).

I'm praying for a solution as I bought the phone in Hong Kong, and therefor cannot return it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fire n mage:
Your mistake was most likely your purchasing location.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynoNobel:
Well it's not exactly like I bought it from a mom and pop shop or from the guy with a suitcase on the corner. It was purchased from Fortress, which is a subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa which is an international conglomerate that operates in the US, Canada, and all over Europe as well. Don't confuse Hong Kong with mainland China, there is no difference in quality between this phone and one purchased in USA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Did battery calibration help at all? I'm starting to think that either the software is showing a wrong percentage (which in case you can calibrate it) or you have to get it checked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynoNobel:
I downloaded a calibration app, and realized the phone needs to be rooted. The app said that it would only calibrate the phone when it was in a 100% charged state.

The default battery meter said 66%, app called power circle said 66%, and the battery calibration app said 66%
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Ok you can calibrate the battery status by draining the battery until the power turns off and then just turn it on again (while charging obviously) and then charge it to the max and then hopefully it charges to 100%
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynoNobel:
Oh, ya I definitely did that, more than once, with both batteries. I let it completely die on it's own (which isn't hard as the battery life is noticeably shorter since it won't charge all the way). I also let it drain to 1% and then charged it full. I tried draining until it shut itself off and then charging it full while it was shut off, and then again with it powered on during charging. Whether on or off, it continues to tell me it is charging, but never reaches higher than the numbers i posted above (currently 66%).
