Definitely Maxthon for me. I've been using it on a PC for many years, and I like it very much on Android, too. It is fast, has a convenient interface. Dolphin is not bad, but I still prefer Maxthon (however, on Android it substantially lacks in config options and available plugins, compared to a PC version; hopefully, it will improve). I never really tried comparing them, but Maxthon feels snappier to me. I could never get into using Opera -- tried it on different platforms over years (PC, Palm, WinMo, Android), and always ended up abandoning it. Something about it just doesn't feel right for me...
[LG Optimus 2x] Pascalwb:
Opera Mobile, fast, smooth, simple UI. It's only one browser that isn't focusing after zooming.
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
Dolphin on my O2X, as it's the only browser that doesn't suffer from as many FCs as Opera and stock GB.

On my DZ, I just stick with stock.

Once CM10 is out, it'll be chrome for sure :) I have tried chrome on my friend's Nexus S and was quite impressed.

As for what I use on my PC, it's Chrome when in Windows and Firefox on Ubuntu.

I like opera because it supports hwa.
[LG Optimus 2x] coolacrille:
Maxthon is good, but it seems to get sluggish over time for me. Especially when browsing websites with lots of images. It probably relates to me having the quick back setting activated, but still very annoying. Therefor I prefer Dolphin in most cases. It seems to handle multiple tabs more efficiently.
[LG Optimus 2x] sanjib734:
Just used boat browser. First impression is that it is preety quick and have got some cool features.

i find Opera Mobile the best browser for speed of chargement and pinch to zoom, then absolutely mozilla firefox is good also, it have a spectacular pinch to zoom, but it sucks to much battery!
[LG Optimus 2x] lcsdms:

Dolphin browser. Stock browser provides cancer to my eyes and the booting time of opera mobile is wayyy to long for my patience
[LG Optimus 2x] maharu567:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zodiac100:
I know the title is a little misleading but I couldn't be bothered to think up anything more appropriate.

I previously compared my S to the T in store but only fleetingly.

Today I spent a bit more time comparing them and it was just so obvious how inferior the T's display is to the S. It was like two displays from two totally different companies.

I have always felt that the Sony Ericsson partnership was never a harmonious one and I believe this display disparity lends credence to those beliefs.

The S designed by Sony in my opinion as its more in keeping with Sony designs when compared to their tv's has the vastly superior display but crippled by Ericsson software while the T designed by Ericsson, I say that because it's design has Ericsson's over stylish language written all over it, has decent software on it with a crappy display.

This points to some tension. Like both parties are holding back on each other.

With Ericsson finally removed from the equation, I hope we'll see a phone next year with everything done properly on it.

Just my opinion as to why such a disparity. What you fellas think?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] osharaf:
What??

R u talking about the T28?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zodiac100:
I'm talking about the glaring differences in the displays of both the S and the T.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] adsada arc:
nice pun, though tbh I don't agree.

I think they were both developed under the sony ericsson partnership, and by then sony had already taken over the design of the phones (imo). I also don't think the differences in screen quality are due to the two companies, but many sony trying to keep the costs down by using a inferior display.

Actually the T is in more ways far more sony then the Xperia S. Sony has had almost a year to finalise the Xperia T and make modification. This isn't the same for the Xperia S which was announced in January a mere 2 months after the announcement split. So much so, that on receiving my Xperia S, the headphones label, the info sticker on the back of the phone, and the manual still said "sony ericsson".

I nfact still the device is still picked up as SEMC on benchmark tests and android market reviews etc.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] doministry:
Who the f.... cares who designed what?!

And I have no idea what are you talking about really. I saw comparisons and all looked like T is on par with S if not slightly better.

Reviews say it's a great screen.

Have no idea what you're about here.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] viiv:
Looks wise the silver Xperia SL is by far the best looking one. You can get it direct from Sony here:

http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/st...10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666493354
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zodiac100:
Have you compared both yourself side by side. Do that then talk you stupid idiot. There was even a topic on Xperia blog highlighting the washed out display of the T. Just didn't think it would be as bad as it is. The T's display is ridiculously inferior to the S's and that's what really shocked me. Sony is now becoming synonymous with confused. I just don't think they have a clue anymore.

Now they top it off with JB in mid q2 3013.

Strange company indeed. Nothing they do makes any sense anymore.

I gave them one more chance but that's it.

Moving on in 2013
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LegibleEel:
I have the T and I can say that that information on the xperia blog was rubbish. I think it was a defect model that that guy owned. the screen is fantastic,

Though I don't have my Xperia S anymore I can say when I did have them the screens looked identical at first glance. (Quality wise).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zodiac100:
Well the T I compared with in the Tesco store didn't seem to be defective in anyway and it's display was markedly worse. High res yes but of very poor quality compared to the S. I think the Xperia blog were even being generous
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] doministry:
Call me idiot once more and you'll be reported, spammer.

Troll somewhere else with your crap.

And before you reply, please visit Esato forums where people posted real (not biased) comparisons

of the S versus T incl. screen. With good, not faulty devices.

Both screens are totally on par and T screen is great, read reviews too.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MadManMark:
Are you implying everyone else is biased? despite being sony fans? :s
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] doministry:
Why everyone? Don't get it really.

Most reviews/opinions are very positive. Minority is whining.

So who is biased?

[Windows 8 General] DarkyHero:
Hi Guys,

I really want to get a dual booting tablet, as this means I will able to use the fantastic touch-based applications that Android has to offer, but when the need arises, I can use the Microsoft Office Suite or similar programmes, that are only available on Windows .

My two possibilities at the moment are either the Asus Transformer Infinity or the Windows Surface Pro, which comes out in three months. I know that the Samsung Series 7 Slate can be dual-booted, but I would prefer a tablet with a nice keyboard dock.

Do any of you guys know if Android X86 will work with the Surface Pro, and if so, with which functionalities?

Thanks :)
[Windows 8 General] lumpaywk:
or you could just use bluestacks and get away from the extra hassle. Not only is it less grief the having to reboot every time you want another os its also way more secure as it runs in its own sandbox and if you get infected just uninstall and go again as it wont be able to get to anything else on the device and brick it etc.

If you go for an AMD based tablet (non announced that I know of but AMD said they are already selling the oems for release tablets) then it runs with hardly any performance loss and in full screen with full touch everything just like it was android.

That said I do see the point as you can get all sorts of custom roms etc to play with :).

I would be surprised if MS didn't try to lock you out from running other os's on the surface pro with some method in the bios but I don't think it will take much to get around as its basically just a laptop with a click on keyboard.
[Windows 8 General] DarkyHero:
I already have the HTC One X, which is an Android phone, so I would like to sync my apps with the tablet. I have tried Bluestacks before, and I don't think the performance is the greatest, but that's just my opinion.

Which AMD tablets are you talking about?

Hi,

I installed the beats audio drivers installer * root or w.e. from the playstore. after running the app and "installing the drivers" my phone soft bricked and i reflashed stock rom. since then all my audio files with all audio players and all video files have a crackling sound on both speakers and headphones. this never occured before attempting to install these drivers. i think they may have altered my original drivers or installed halfway or something. Can anyone help me just get my original drivers back so the crackling will stop.

im using a galaxy s3 i747M from bell, unlocked and being used with rogers. rooted and running kyan rom.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sound Anarchist:
Hey :)

I got a bad case of the lag (sometimes i have to wait 30s for the launcher to show the icons after unlocking the screen <.<'). Tried the Forever Gone approach, but i'ts still laggy and i guess it's because i'm still on the old code base (with Paranoid Android 2.14). So i've decided to do a full update - new bootloader, last PA (2.2), and a new kernel (i'm still with the stock one). Also i think to do a full wipe as i'm going along with it. I'm using TWRP.

So i did my research, but it'll be nice if somebody does a quick sanity check on my todo list :)

0. Backup (i don't like the idea of full apk+settings backup, so i'll try to cherrypick the things i want to backup - like game saves, etc)

1. Full wipe - nuke /data, /system, /boot

2. Flash new bootloader (JZO54K_bootloader.zip)

3. Flash new Paranoid Android 2.2

4. Redownload all apps from Appstore

5. Restore backup

The kernel part is missing, because i'm still undecided with what should i go. I don't want overclocks, but i want it to be able to undervolt (apply Jay's buttery goodness maybe). If someone can recommend me something i'd be grateful.

So... that's about it :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkemist80:
This is what I did when I updated but instead with CNA.

0. Backup

1. Full wipe

2. Flash new rom ( I flashed CNA 3.7.0 before they removed it for bug fixes)

3. Reboot and make sure rom is functional

4. Reboot into recovery and flash new bootloader

5. Reboot again to test, reboot to recovery to test, and lastly fastboot

6. Restore backup from Titanium
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunder9111:
You forgot an important steps.. flash GAPPS after you flash PA. Otherwise your google apps won't work.

Do this:

1. Backup

2. Wipe Data/Cache/ Delvik Cache

3. Flash PA 2.3

4. Flash GAPPS

5. reboot

Then you set up your nexus 7 however you want, with the help of titanium etc :good:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sound Anarchist:
Ah, yes - i count this as a thing that goes hand to hand with the PA flashing so that's why it's not there.

So - tomorrow when i have some free time i'll wipe the lagging monster :)

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
I have a chip in the exact same place. My headphone jack also broke a few months ago. (the part that holds the input in wore out) I just replaced it though. Works great now!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
I figured out where mine came from- you know how OEMs like to make their phones look badass, so often you see the headphone plug itself sticks out on one side as part of the curve of the phone.

My scuffing is from my Beats right angle plug grinding against the part of the phone that sticks out the most (upper left side if looking at the headphone jack straight on) as part of my "turn the wire out of the way so it doesn't bend against the plug and my pocket" campaign.

Sooo...BEATS RIGHT ANGLE HEADPHONE WIRES DAMAGE GALNEXES. There it is.

Even the headset that comes with the GalNex scuffs off the paint in that corner.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
I had something like that as well, I think it was just from missing the hole....Lol. So much for turning 22 today and being mature.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Christ1119:
LOL. I have a chip in the same spot, same size it appears too. Happened from my headphones (duh), the little metal part that sticks out from the plug is what caused it from rotating the headphones, sucks, but it's a common issue, happened on my Nexus S too, and will probably happen on the LG Nexus from the shape of the headphone port so I'll be putting a very thin piece of clear tape or something on the headphone jack of the next Nexus or my headphones to prevent it. OP you may as well accept it as a feature or something, gives it character lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Same spot LOL!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
After closer inspection, I have the chip as well. The first *battle wound* on my nexus.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Always had a hard time getting it in the hole. But no scuffs for me. I actually have more scuffs around my phone from putting it on and taking it off a lot because I have two pogo pin docks and don't want to wear out my USB port. I transfer files wireless a lot too.

...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Christ1119:
Actually it did happen on my Nexus One as well from what I remember because the metal piece of the headphones sat right on top of the Nexus One's aluminum body so turning the headphones would scuff it up and eventually leave little indents. Unless the phone has a little headphone guard kinda thing around the jack (only example I can think of right now would be the SGS3's headphone jack, it has a little black outlined plastic circle) chances are your headphones will scuff the paint/body

Off topic: Why do people think HTC products = high quality, just because they use aluminum? They may feel nice, but most HTC phones I used in my experience were the worst with dust getting inside the screen and such (the Sensation was a nightmare) and their phones have just as much issues as other OEMs. Haven't actually used an HTC phone in awhile so I don't know if they've improved or not, but I always felt it was a hit or miss with their phones.

Sorry for the rant :/
