Firefox non beta works just fine for me. Video flash are mostly fine. Ctv.ca works, watchop.com works, I'm happy.

Yes some site has pixelated vid but try the latest flash apk from adobe.com.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Rsotbiemrptson:
Hello,

Sorry, yes I am rooted. It is stable for me. I haven't had a page that doesn't work yet. Any pages you want me to try?

yesterday i tried some browsers to test flash perfromance..and after seeing that some of them load without problems a flash site,i'm sticked with the aosp one,default on non n7 devices (with installation of flash.apk separately)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] opz187:
Between browser and xscope, flash works perfectly on my n7. Xscope is def the best
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Pandemonium2k4:
Can you say this in human terms? Lol I have no clue what asop is? :confused:
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] blackhand1001:
Look up how to side load the aosp jellybean browser. Its the best in my opinion. Boat browser is great as well.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Pandemonium2k4:
Looks like you have to be rooted for that, correct?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] blackhand1001:
Yeah. Its pretty easy to root this thing though.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
Is it worth rooting? Is ASOP as good as Firefox? Firefox has improved a LOT, and is as good as Chrome IMO, but with flash. I've been looking for a reason to root... but with ssLauncher's ability to change any font and any icon, I don't really see much of a need to root (yet).
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] blackhand1001:
Its definitely better then Firefox.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] R3dbeaver:
Aosp. Not asop. Lol

Yes, better than Firefox in terms of performance. In terms of feature, well, depends how much your use Firefox already.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Metallice:
Android Open Source Project. For every device running jellybean except the Nexus 7 the stock browser isn't Chrome, but an awesome fast and stable browser that fully supports flash. Its just called "browser" because it is the default browser you get when you compile android from the source code. All custom roms that are built from the source code have this AOSP browser as the default and it is much better than chrome. In order to get it to work in the stock rom you must have a custom recovery and flash this AOSP browser using a custom recovery install script.

It is far and away the best option for flash.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] kratos313:
What site do we go to to get it I've tried pulling the browser from my GNex and pushing to the system/app folder but it will not open even after I fix permissions and wipe the data

I'm running stock ROM rooted
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ÜBER™:
You should have been able to just install like a normal apk.

Nope it said unable to install

I used the one you linked to in dropbox and it gave me a install error message
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Pandemonium2k4:
You have to be rooted, which I will if I find a good tutorial on how to do it.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] kratos313:
As I said I'm running stock ROM Rooted
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] :
You can't just install it. You need to copy it to system/app, and chmod.

Google it.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] kratos313:
Is tried the flashable zip for the aosp browser from the S3 forums and still no luck

I've tried pushing it to the system/app file and it keeps force closing

Even after wiping the data and cache

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 PM ----------

I've Google it that's how I found the flashable zip

I know how to change permissions and thats been done every time with no success

I've even tried the data/app folder

Only thing I can honestly think of is that I'm having issues because the ROM is odexed

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1913562 this is my current ROM......
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Metallice:
Copy browser.apk out of rasbean jelly for nexus 7 (close to stock aosp rom). Copy the app to system/app/. Set the correct permissions for that file. Reboot into recovery. Wipe dalvik cache and cache. Reboot.

See it that works.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] kratos313:

I'm just going to install a custom ROM and call it a day

I cant find that folder uhg I'm great with PC's but on tablet and android I'm a bag of poo lol
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Metallice:
Download root or solid explorer. You need root to mess with system.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MRsf27:
im going to try that zip file... sounds pretty straight forward and saves me the hassle of side-loading flash.apk
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mrRobinson:
Should be easy. Let me know how it goes for you.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Pandemonium2k4:
Well ain't that confusing lol a program called root that works on an unrooted device, maybe its not me that's dumb lol thanks!

OK so these programs are not in market so obviously I do need rooted like I said wtf!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MRsf27:
Tried to download it straight to n7 and it said download unsuccessful :( I'm putting it in my computer now and I'll flash it soon.. I'll update u on how it goes ;)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Logic_:
Solid and root explorer are both in the market and can be downloaded without root, however you will need root in any case, if you want to access 'system'.

You know if it's just flash you're after, side load an old flash apk from the Adobe site and use Firefox beta? Or any of the other many browsers that still support it.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
Firefox, or Firefox Beta installed from Play store work fine. I side loaded flash 11.1.115.17 from Adobe site and have no issues, not rooted. Boat and Xscope also work fine, but I find Firefox formats pages better when zooming. FF does load a little slower. I don't like the way FF does bookmarks, but have no problem with it by linking to an html document on my sd card.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] koreanheman:
You can try Puffin

I have been using this for some time - specially to watch videos on websites still stuck with Flash and I will say, it works great for me. Search for puffin browser on play store.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MRsf27:
OK so I went through a successful flash but I went to CNN.com to see if flash worked and it still asked me to install the newest flash player... any way around this? I'm using aosp browser :confused:
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Pandemonium2k4:
You rock! Seems very stable, I'm liking the puffin lol
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MRsf27:
Agreed, just got puffin and it works great!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] wantabe:
I've been using the aosp stock jelly bean browser basically from day one and it works flawlessly. I personally do Not like Chrome on the N7 and Firefox works well but I like the stock jelly bean browser the best out of all of them. And I should mention that I've been using Firefox (Pale Moon now) on my computer for years and still like the stock jelly bean browser better. First of all as far as I know you will have to be rooted because you need to move Browser.apk to system/app and correct the permissions to show rw-r-r, I could or someone else could probably re-sign the apk to install from storage but you will still need to remove/delete BrowserProviderProxy.apk and BrowserProviderProxy.odex from system/app because if you don't that will cause the Browser.apk to constantly close. After removing BrowserProviderProxy apk and odex I do not know if the Chrome browser will work anymore because I don't use it and I removed it. If you don't want to remove the BrowserProviderProxy apk and odex you can just rename them by adding a 1 to the end of both (BrowserProviderProxy.apk1 and BrowserProviderProxy.odex1) that way the system will not see them. As far as flash goes I'm using the newest version which is version 11.1.115.17 which will install from storage fine. If anyone is interested I've included links to my copies of the browser and flash apk's.

AOSPBrowser_v4.1.1-6.apk

Flashplayer_11.1.115.17.apk

Puffing is great but not free, I mean they give you a free trial and it works great with flash, no need to root if you are afraid of it because they handle flash on their servers... I don't remember how much is it after the trial...

Tried Puffin. Doesn't allow file:/// to an html file on sd card. Also seems a little slow. I tried opening a trailer from Rotten Tomatoes (Dark Shadows), and has real problems with it. Many of the browsers I tried had the same problem. Firefox seems to work with it, but still a bit slow. Can someone try the link with ASOP... if that opens quickly, I'll root!

Reading file:/// is not a real issue for me, I figured out I can link to the file with a Solid Explorer bookmark, to open in html viewer. Actually opens more quickly that way, then I have all my bookmark links that will open directly in whatever browser I end up with. Example:

Naked Browser

I'd like to throw my hat into the ring. Just minutes ago I announced a brand new Android web browser that I created:

Naked Browser

You can find it in the Google Play Store and it supports Flash (on demand).
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Pandemonium2k4:
Flash didn't work for me
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] aminaked:
Flash has to be installed separately. Also, it is on demand only at this time meaning that you have to touch the placeholder to activate Flash.

That being said, this browser was literally launched today so it may not work on all devices. YMMV.

Thanks for trying it.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Pandemonium2k4:
I have flash installed separately and clicked to activate the flash content, oh well maybe it will work later in time.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
Quite snappy, but flash doesn't work (tried a CNN video), just sits with a black screen after hitting the flash arrow. Needs a black color theme. Firefox is working great for me, but a smaller faster app would be nice!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] aminaked:
Oh, that's too bad. Well, it is untested on newer devices. Maybe that's the issue. I should probably run out and get a new tablet right now...

Perhaps others will have luck or can shed light on the problem.

Hm, you have a Nexus 7 too. I'll search the web and see what I can find about this issue. (Re: quite snappy. Thanks, that was a primary goal.)

Is Flash working for you via the stock browser, Dolphin (or any other webkit-based) browser?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
Stock browser is Chrome, flash not supported. Firefox installed, flash works fine on it. You should test on N7 before advertizing in Nexus thread, but if you can get flash to work, that'd be GREAT!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] aminaked:
Oops, my bad. I honestly only saw the Flash part.

Well, at any rate what I'm seeing is that people are reporting success by "side loading" their browser. I suppose that this gets around some kind of security issue when trying to run a side-loaded plugin with a market-downloaded app.

I don't blame anyone if they don't want to try it out that way, but if there are any brave souls out there, the apk is available at http://nakedbrowser.com/android/nakedbrowser.apk
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
No go. I believe there needs to be a "flash always on" option. Opera and Dolphin don't support flash on JB, so only a few browsers work (Boat, Xscope, Firefox, ASOP, Puffin)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] aminaked:
OK, I uploaded a version with plugins turned on. If you don't mind, please try it out. Thank you for helping me debug my app.

http://nakedbrowser.com/android/nakedbrowser.apk
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
No go.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] aminaked:
Darn. I wonder if setting the "plugins path" would do it. Unfortunately, I don't know what that would be on a Nexus 7 and a web search turns up nothing.

Thanks for your help. If I figure it out I'll post here. Sorry for hijacking the thread for a bit.

EDIT: OK, according to this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1008681 it looks like hardware acceleration might need to be on.

Perhaps the latest version will work: Naked Browser in the Google Play Store

APK available here if side loading is necessary: http://nakedbrowser.com/android/nakedbrowser.apk

Note, I set plugins back to "on demand" so hopefully setting them to "on" isn't necessary.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] marcolino7:
Hi all,

i'm looking for to buy a Razr Maxx.

Now I have Milestone 2 and it have a simple method to "understand" Car Dock Mode, It have a gauss sensor on its back. This sensors recognoize a magnet on the dock and switch the phone to car dock. I purchased a little thin magnet and with some glue attached it to an universal holder.

This switched my universal holder to a Motorola Car Dock :)).

I have to use a universal car dock, because i don't want to remove phone from silicon shell every time i use in the car, so i do not want to use a motorola cardock.

Reading around i found that Razr and Razr Maxx, do not have this magnet sensor, but the switch to car dock is hanled by special connection into USB cable.

So I would like to know it there is a USB Cable that switch phone to Cardock. Also a schema of the cable it's enought I can made by myself.

Many Thanks

Marco
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nikorasu:
There's no cable that activates car dock. However, I'm puzzled why you're not looking for software to activate car dock, or an alternative car dock app.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marcolino7:
Hi, app require my interaction with the phone interface, after placing phone on the cradle and connecting cable. 3 Action to switch in car mode, in front of 2 action i done today simply placing and connecting to power cord.

This is reason whi i'm looking for a cable like this for HTC one X: http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-usb-cable-activates-car-dock-app.html
[Asus Transformer TF700] HoushaSen:
So as most of us already know that the WIFI when it is actively in use e.g. browsing, it drains a lot of power. Essentially, the battery consumption doubles when when actively browsing in comparison to the playing local video (~20%/hr to ~10%/hr). This does not happen on any other device I have used in the past.

Today, one forum user said interesting thing:

Not sure if this is true, but make sense if the latter is true. I wonder if there is anyway to turn down the power supply to the WIFI unit because I like my infinity with ANR pretty much now gone, beautiful screen, not real IO issue (for practical use), my only complain is actually battery consumption of tablet alone when actively browsing. So if this can be fixed, it would be phenomenal news for me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lovekeiiy:
I personally don't know. But anytime you have radios on, there is going to be additional battery drain. Not saying Infinity's isn't excessive.

You could try using the Power Save mode.

Unless I have the screen on, when the WiFi is turned, I can go all day This is just checking email, IMs, little web, and so forth. I do have a C8 release.
[Asus Transformer TF700] HoushaSen:
It's definitely true the WIFI component should drain battery; however, I think in infinity it is excessive when compared to any other tablet. And you are absolutely right that just having it on does not drain much but when actively browsing it does. The easy way to notice this is, if you watch video (local) the tablet alone can last up to 9 hours i.e. 10-12% per hour battery drain; however, as soon as you start active browsing not even streaming but simply surfing web it becomes ~20% per hour drain.

Sometimes antenna like devices can increase its signal gain based on how much power you supply to it. So the other guys post made sense to me in theory at least.

[HTC One S] kenmac67:
I’ve had my One S for 4 weeks now and every week brings a different problem plus it would appear to be worse since the 4.0.4 update.

1.	Intermittent microphone problems.

2.	Intermittent reboots with error reports.

3.	Mobile data dropping out or won’t switch off or back on.

4.	Complete loss of network signal after long period of shut down.

5.	Aeroplane mode locked the phone completely requiring a reboot.

Don’ know whether to send back to the store who might not find anything wrong because most of the problems are intermittent, or contact HTC ???

Wish I had stuck with my One V!!!!

I have the loss of signal issue, mostly indoors. Never had that issue with my other phones. It is worrying me cause I just purchased this phone on a new contract and only have about 5 more days to decide if i want to keep them or not? With this issue and seeing all the terrible issues in the custom ROM's I am afraid I will hate this phone compared to my GNex. I understand Jellybean has not been officially released yet so there will be issues but is there any ICS ROM's that run without issues? My past experience with less popular phones is we can never get a truly great daily driver. Any reassurance will be greatly appreciated!
[HTC One S] kenmac67:
Response from HTC UK.

"For further testing, we would ask you to reset the phone without the SIM card in the phone(Hard resetting the phone will delete all data on the phone memory). Once the phone has completed the reset, test the phone with no Gmail or 3rd party applications on the phone. This will then confirm whether it is the phone or 3rd party software.

I am confident that this will resolve your query, in the unlikely event that this does not please call or instant chat to one of our Technical Support Agents who will be waiting to guide you through step by step. Our Contact Details can be found at www.htc.com/uk/contact"

I'm having signal issues as well.

I got this phone last Thursday as a replacement to my Galaxy S2.

So far i'm getting less reception in my house than my S2 had.

Also, when I'm at work, it goes from Full 4G service, to NO bars, and then to 2G, and back to Full 4g. WTF?
[HTC One S] LibertyMonger:
Exactly the issue I am having on my new one s. Only have a few days to decide whether I want to keep it or not. It's not looking like a keeper! Never had the complete signal drops showing an X before. Texts keep getting denied til the service comes back.
[HTC One S] nova hands:
I hear ya.

It's a shame because I REALLY like this phone. Feels great in the hand, build quality is fantastic, and overall it's super smooth and fast.

I hate to give it up, but I can't have signal issues like this at home. Even the wifi calling has had a couple issues so far.

I need my phone to work, plain and simple.

Thinking I might go with the Galaxy S3. Probably the only phone that will make me not miss this one so much.
[HTC One S] LibertyMonger:
I'm quite sure if you went with the Galaxy Nexus you wouldn't miss this phone either.

I suppose you have fought with your service provider just like I am right? HTC is telling me to try a different back cover and/or do a factory reset. they claim they are not hearing any issues like this with this phone. I kind of figured I would have issues because Cincinnati Bell does not get the best phones, I had major issues with their XT720. I should have known better. This is why I just bought the GNex from Google, I was gonna avoid signing a new contract then CBW offered me such a great deal on 5 new phones if I resigned so i went with it.
[HTC One S] LibertyMonger:
I just tested calls with my galaxy nexus and the HTC one S by calling each other and I got to say call quality with the HTC is much better. Louder and more clear. But I am running a sound volume tweak for my Gnex and it doesn't prove to be louder with in call volume. I will have to get rid of that tweak and see the difference
[HTC One S] nova hands:
Problem is that I don't want to spend the money on the Nexus. I got the One S as a warranty replacement, so I'm not spending any money. I'd have to shell out cash to get the Nexus.
