If you time the speed to load up a site and compare it to some of the other web browsers out there, ull see that opera can be faster.

You can notice it if you're paying attention, but it's not like you keep track on the time in your everyday life? The same thing goes with

Google DNS, it's noticeable faster (by <1 seonds) if you choose to pay attention.

In the long term the time you would have saved (and data usage) would be a great amount.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] Falc0nPuls3:
Alright, opera speeds things up by using the least amount of graphics or decreasing the image quality to 1 use less data 2 speed things up ( in some cases) but If you please try the browser I have mentioned you will see that it will do everything much faster without reduction in graphics or web page styling. Try it its free and wont loose anything yet you will gain something my friend
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] SMillerNL:
It doesn't work that way. It speeds it up by caching the sites onto their own server. And then sending a heavily compressed copy to you.

Ok, but that doesn't have anything to do with our case. Im saying that there is a browser called UCBrowser made by Chinese devs and as matter of the fact before this I was a fan of opera but once I found this one I became a fan of this and in comparison uc is better please give it a try.

I'm not advertising UCbrowser or anything there is nothing in it for me. I'm only sharing my experience that I got while using these two browers and putting them into the test. The final result that came out in my opinion UC was better.

first thing.. stock browser sucks! in my opinion it always has & always will. slow to respond laggy buggy scrolling. download speeds and page loads take too long even with full wi-fi connection. I have tried many browsers.

Dolphin - mehh. it's okay slow after a while?

Opera/Opera Mini/Opera Mini Next - all garbage!

Boat Mini Browser - I used this for a while and liked it alot, was so fast at first then became slow.

Google Chrome (mod) - very bad. not worth testing.

Maxthon Browser V2.3.1!!

in my opinion works very well in my phone no lag. smooth scrolling fast downloads and most important easy to use. I think its style is similar to Boat Browser but Maxthon just works so much better. Give it a try you may just like it.

Ok. I have looked around and haven't found much on the Acer LiquidE. I know its older and not that great of a phone.

My sister bought one to replace her Nexus that she smashed and when trying to do updates and stuff on it it comes up saying "error, no network connection". Have tried it on wifi and 3G.

Anyone have any idea how to resolve this problem? Or if their is a custom Rom or kernel that I can flash to it?

This can be deleted. Found out that their is an extremely high risk of the Acer being bricked and from what i have read its virtually unbrickable.

Hi, do you mean the desirefanatics video? I've been through that procedure one week ago and had problems with the RUU. You can try to extract the rom.zip from the RUU and rename it to PG88IMG.zip, put it on your SD-card and boot into bootloader. The phone will find the zip and start the update!

Edit: Oh, and my phone is branded as well. If you find the rom.zip, look for a txt file called android-info. If your CID is in there, it should be fine to use without goldcard or whatever.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZunRob:
Since a few days I have a very interesting problem. I have my SGS3 for a few weeks now and I was very impressed with its battery life. Until a few days ago.

Then I installed PhotoEditor (from Samsung itself, using Samsung Apps). When opening Samsung Apps it installed an update. This also included the Push Service and some adservice. After that my battery drained really fast. After uninstalling all three apps (PhotoEditor, Push Service and Adservice) this high battery drain went on.

I then performed a hard reset. And even then, without even installing any apps it drains the battery too fast.

However, it only happens when I'm connected to a wifi network. 3G is always off. When wifi just stays on, but is not connected to a network, battery life is very good and nothing strange happens.

When wifi is connected, and when looking in the battery settings menu I can see a very high Keep Awake time in Android OS. However, it doesn't show which process actually is causing this high Keep Awake time. So I installed BBS, but this doesn't really give me a clue either.

Anybody having an idea what could be causing this battery drain? Even after a hard reset?

I'm not rooted, just using the stock firmware. All help is really appreciated!

Edit: I'll post some relevant screenshots soon.

I have the exact same problem!! Very frustrating. It started when I did and ota update so I decided to flash a custom rom. I have since then done numerous hard resets and re flashes to try to fix it. No luck.

I am now on omega v11.1 with the stock kernel and it still drains. I've installed better battery stats and this is what it shows:

View attachment 1258060

View attachment 1258062

View attachment 1258065

I can see the biggest problem is Google talk. But what are the others? My wifi is set to never stay awake when sleeping.

Very annoying as I was having great battery life for the first month of use but then suddenly this starts happening.

This needs to be solved as I see I'm not the only one.

Edit: I don't even have gtalk installed because it was part of the bloatware removed by omegas rom.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZunRob:
Android OS draining battery, ONLY when connected to WIFI

Please find my screenshots attached. I discovered that my battery is only being drained when my phone is connected to WIFI. WIFI is on all the time, but when it's not connected to a network, nothing strange happens.

In the battery history details the first 9 hours are "recorded" when WIFI was on, but wasn't connected to any network (I was traveling). Then you can see a steep decrease when I got home again, and got connected to my WIFI network. This decrease continued than for the night.

In the BBS stats you can see that something from Google talk is listed quite high, and it is a large wake time.

However, it must be noted that although the phone has a huge awake time according to BBS, this can't be seen in the battery history of the phone itself. It seems like the phone is almost only awake when the screen is turned on, as it is supposed to be...

So it looks like when WIFI is connected something is happening, and that is draining my battery...

Any help in interpreting the above results is really appreciated!

Edit: I'm not logged in to Google Talk...

I'm only syncing WhatsApp, and Gmail (contacts, calendar and mail)

Last, but not least: The orange download arrow is on continuously. So it's downloading non-stop?! How can I find out what it is?

Nobody any idea why WIFI drains my battery when it's connected to certain networks? While on other WIFI networks battery usage is normal?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00280:
Same problem here, battery drain is enormous when phone is connected to my home wi-fi - 20% in 7 hours. Download arrow is always flashing, android constantly d/l's something at 4-10 kb/s. Of course, I've checked anything - from mail client to android os - nothing. Tcpdump shows broadcast packets, some ARP packets, 25 out of 273 packets are directed to me - 6 from my mediaserver, others are from Google's servers - nothing that can explain constant download. Any advice?

Get a data usage app from play(onavo is good) and that should tell you what is using the data
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZunRob:
I've now been on my home network for almost two days, and without changing any settings this is the result. (see the attachment).

As you can see the phone has been connected to WIFI all night, and no such drain can be seen as in my first post. In other words; without changing any settings on the phone battery drain is normal on my own WIFI network. However, on two other WIFI networks there is a huge battery drain when connected while the phone has exactly the same settings.

So, that probably means it isn't due to some kind of app, but due to the WIFI network, or more specific to the combination of phone and WIFI-network. Looks like the WIFI network is always pushing data to the phone, to the system Android OS (as far as I could trace using Data Monitor). I know there have been some issues with WIFI on the SGS3, but they were mostly about disconnecting, and therefore different than this one.

What is most annoying is the fact that a few days ago battery drain was normal on all WIFI networks. Only after updating Samsung Apps (which included AdService and Samsung Push Service) and the PhotoEditor it started draining fast. However, after deinstalling these apps and a factory reset the problem persist. Even when disabling almost all apps no improvement.

Edit: An explanation maybe, but only for "open networks". But not a real satisfactory solution.

Do a hard reset, install 3g watch dog pro (not just mobile network.. it can also check wifi data traffic) and install all of your regular apps. Follow wifi data traffic apps by apps from watchdog..

Or second answer: install android firewall app, and choose apps which are really need internet access... dont allow the otherones.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZunRob:
Doesn't help. Even after a factory reset, without adding my gmail account or installing any apps it drains the battery when WIFI is connected. The orange arrow is almost always lit, like it's downloading something. The strange thing is that this doesn't happen on another WIFI network, it only happens on some.

These apps tell me that it is the Android System itself which is downloading/receiving the data.

Multi-band Wi-Fi?

I don't know this for a fact, but I've read some things that lead me to believe the issue may (again, not confirmed), MAY be related to the recent ~LG8 OTA push. The root (no pun intended) cause is related to how the SG3 interacts in 802.11n band Wi-Fi networks that utilize multi-band (i.e. 2.4Ghz combined and 5Ghz running simultaneously).

One of the "features" of ~LG8 was to remove Advanced options for Wi-Fi networks, switching the connectivity logic to "automatic." If a GS3 is in a multi-band 'n' Wi-Fi network, it MAY be switching back and forth between bands, thus chewing up battery without actually pulling any data.

This is unconfirmed, so don't shoot the messenger. Can any of you validate whether or not the Wi-Fi networks where you see excessive drain is indeed a multi-band 'n' network?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZunRob:
On open networks it is really bad. When I connect to such a network it asks for me to log in/accept the terms. After accepting the terms my (standard) internet browser redirects me to my own homepage. However, the orange download-arrow keeps lit up. After a few minutes the phone gives this notification that I should accept the terms again. However, when I'm redirected to the browser there is nothing to accept, and my internet is still working properly.

So it looks like this "acceptation of terms" is a major issue, like the phone doesn't remember I already accepted the terms. Is it caused by the browser? Or something else?

Hi guys,

I have an SI number of 1246-9893 and i am sadly still waiting on the ICS update for my phone from sony.

I've been toying with the idea of flashing the standard ICS rom but have a few questions;

1 - in flashing a standard ICS rom, will i lose the annoying xperia timescape overlay? I've been using launcher pro for years and love it, but i'd far rather use the standard system with android, but i can't due to sony's overlay with the funny coloured dock etc if you get me!

2 - Is there a way to remove the annoying bloatware that came on my phone? I'm assuming that flashing a bog standard ICS rom will remove these programs that i never use?

3 - Can anyone suggest a suitable ROM that fits the criteria above if it exists? I've heard there is a standard ICS rom available, would that be the best bet? I'd prefer a ROM thats as close to the original as possible, the fancy features of some of the ROMS aren't really what i'm after, just something that runs faster with the nice touches that ICS has over gingerbread.

Thank you in advance for any help if i take some time replying, dodgy connection at the moment.

And apologies if this is in the wrong section.

Cheers
