True I used it for my old Galaxy s II and totally forgot about it on this. However one thing I dont like on stock browser is that comment section on sites are very slow and buggy. It really isnt friendly with disqus etc

Handwritten from my Galaxy Note II
[Galaxy Note II General] zeeshanonlyme:
Stock browser FTW :D
[Galaxy Note II General] shahidhussain:
Stock browser is the fastest among. Much faster than Firefox or even Chrome.
[Galaxy Note II General] zeeshanonlyme:
In terms of sheer speed, i would go with UC browser. But then it does so cause it formats the webpages on its server and sends it back to you.

But for a desktop like browsing experience , Nothing beats the Stock browser!
[Galaxy Note II General] MohJee:
I use the stock as well, mainly because it has features I find useful like full screen, quick setting, save for offline reading. Chrome is good as well and the fact the Google now brings it pre installed in android means that they dedicated to developing it and making it much better.
[Galaxy Note II General] WCF:
I use Chrome, Opera, and Dolphin browsers.

I am an Opera loyalist, but the mobile Opera interface does not scale well with the Note 2. The main bar is small and most of the functions are towards the upper-left of the screen, which is inoperable one-handed using your right hand. I still use Opera sometimes though and it is otherwise a good browser.

I use Dolphin for its private and desktop browsing. Chrome is my "main" browser.
[Galaxy Note II General] DanDroidian:
Stock. Chrome for Android sucks.

I save all my bookmarks to my Google account (not device) so they're all they're when I switch devices, etc..
[Galaxy Note II General] irish-sid:
No, you can drag it down. Takes a bit of practice though.
[Galaxy Note II General] kebabs:
Chrome was updated yesterday, anyone findit improve at all? Or is it still ****?
[Galaxy Note II General] Randles:
I find stock the fastest :good:
[Galaxy Note II General] tameracingdriver:
I don't get this at all?

I used Chrome on the Nexus 7 - fair enough, it was quite slow at times.

On the Note 2 though, I don't get any of this slowness. Its only very marginally slower at scrolling as the stock browser, but the interface and general usability is MUCH better IMO.

I suspect in the coming months or years, Chrome will be regarded as the best browser on ANY mobile platform - it's already amongst the best on Android.
[Galaxy Note II General] slekkas:
How can I use the quick controls? Can I use them to change tabs?
[Galaxy Note II General] Pat.:
What's the note2 like for text reflow .. any good?

On my old note only browsers giving it were Opera & Maxthon browser .. both better than the sh!t ones like chrome / Mozilla
[Galaxy Note II General] MohJee:
You enable them from settings then activate them by swiping from the side. And yes you can use them to do pretty much anything you need.
[Galaxy Note II General] Laynee1:
Activate them in Labs section of settings :)
[Galaxy Note II General] irish-sid:
It's not really reflow like opera does it, but it formats it so when you double tap to zoom (you can set the zoom level) it will have the article/post fullscreen so you don't have to scroll sideways.

edit ^ stock browser
[Galaxy Note II General] Pat.:
Hmmm.. if it fits text to screen at any zoom its reflow. If not then it sounds like old note.

I read alot of text articles online & i really see reflow as important (at least the choice of it in browser settings) no idea why its not an option on stock.

Maxthon & Opera can manage it & i can't see a down side to it.

Thanks for reply :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Jamolah:
One of the things I liked about Chrome was the fact you can sync your Chrome bookmarks across all devices, but it seems like the stock NOTE 2 browser allwos this as well. if you go into bookmarks and click on bookmark icon you'll see 2 drop down menus "My Device" and a whatever your google account is. If you click on it you'll see any bookmark you've saved in Chrome.
[Galaxy Note II General] xFilthyxJesusx:
Naked Brpwser for the win. Noticed it rendered quicker than stock
[Galaxy Note II General] Pat.:
I tried it on the note & it has a reflow option in settings that says it doesn't always work, but it should say doesn't EVER work in my experience.
[Galaxy Note II General] xtra10000:
It seems that I am the only guy wholikes Firefox :confused:
[Galaxy Note II General] Evil_Cid:
+1. I find it easier to manage tabs on chrome and I also use it's ability to sync my bookmarks to chrome browser on my PC....saves me the effort of having to find my links again.
[Galaxy Note II General] hagba:
The only reason that I'm not using Chrome is not having fullscreen option. If Opera had Flash support, for me at least ,would have been hands down the best browser.
[Galaxy Note II General] padlad:
I'm with you on this one, Opera does the best text reflow, but since they decided to take the flash option away in jelly bean, I hardly ever use it :( Boat browser is the second best at text reflow.
[Galaxy Note II General] Pat.:
Maxthon Browser is as good as Opera for reflow but a way faster browser with one touch switch on screen for full screen toggling, flash download etc
[Galaxy Note II General] TheMach:
I like boat browser, but I'm trying the stock Samsung browser since the Note 2 is my first Samsung phone. Seems to be good, can't decide yet which I like better. I find the pop up browser to be a great feature! Am I right in saying that if I want to use the pop up browser, I have to stick with stock? Doesn't seek like I can change the browser it "maximizes" to.
[Galaxy Note II General] Ghetto Geeksta:
The stock browser is fast plus you can sideload flash and the stock browser can run it.
[Galaxy Note II General] rockky:
But do you not have to keep clicking desktop to maintain that view on stock? Screw that.
[Galaxy Note II General] padlad:
Not when you have a modded framework you don't, mine defaults to desktop everytime now ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
How people tolerate Chrome when the stock browser is so fluid, so good! Just the Google name? Jeez!
[Galaxy Note II General] DanDroidian:
Learn to read, or did you do that on purpose?

Where did I say ANYTHING about it being slow? Oh, I didn't....

I like it because my touches seem more accurate when the page is zoomed out; that's important to me.

And even YOU say you notice it's slower than the stock browser. I'm not a fan of "slower," sorry.

:thumbdown:
[Galaxy Note II General] marikbrest:
What is the quick control?
[Galaxy Note II General] kEvinErd:
Hmm I personally feel the quick controls made accessing the tabs harder due to the smaller icons and hence the need for more precise tapping on the screen.
[Galaxy Note II General] kamicase_bb:
i have tested and samsung default browser is more fast than chrome
[Galaxy Note II General] hagba:
Why don't you use pinching to access or add tabs.
[Galaxy Note II General] Dr Tone:
Latest chrome update has improved performance enough that I'm back using it. I can't stand the page management in the stock browser. I like having quick access to the last pages from my other devices running Chrome.
[Galaxy Note II General] yahyoh:
Guys u really using crappy chrome !!!!!!!! there is no comparison with AOSP browser ( samsung browser) at all

its sucks laggy stuttery choppy its the worset android browser i've ever used

even ios version is better , and the funny thing ios build based on 23 android one based on 18 :eek::eek:

WTF google r u kidding

i'm fan of chrome for PC though ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Can't agree more with the above comment.

Sent from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II General] kebabs:
For me, chrome is slow in the way it's doesn't respond to finger input the same as safari for iOS does. Once it's loaded, it's turbo for me..

Still it's funny how it can run on a desktop with 2gb ram just fine, but not on a phone with 2gb ram.. Aren't the mobile versions suppose to be more optimal, especially on your own platform?
[Galaxy Note II General] m055:
Until I read this post I would have said chrome, it's all I ever use, mainly because I'm heavily invested in google, I've never thought it to be slow, maybe I'll give samsung a try see how they compare.

M
[Galaxy Note II General] JVogler:
Maybe I have a different version, but you simply "pinch" and your tabs pop up, swipe to the tab, and select. I can switch to any tab in half a second. I find it the best way to manage tabs as is doesn't waste real estate on the page.

Which part of the process is driving everyone crazy with tabs?

-- Note II, TapaTalk II--
[Galaxy Note II General] mug2k:
So the stock browser on the note (4.1.2) is basically the AOSP one with the quick controls and chrome bookmarks sync ?.
[Galaxy Note II General] qazibasit:
Stock browser it also support flash. Google tried to make chrome smooth but it simply is inconvinient.
[Galaxy Note II General] yahyoh:
yep and themed :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Sobakel:
Chome seems laggy to me. Other 3rd party browsers (dolphin/opera) I don't like because they don't offer a complete package. Stock Samsung browser however is very smooth and I like that.

I do use chrome on the side to move my tabs from mobile to pc and vice versa with chrome sync
[Galaxy Note II General] irish-sid:
Yep, pure sex. Plus flash.
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Lol, Chrome and Stock browser? Really? They can't even be compared! What a horrible browser Chrome is.

Be the stock browser based on AOSP or whatever (which I don't believe, AOSP is nothing but a God Damn hype), it's a damn good browser. One negative side, it can't download everything.

'Swyped' from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II General] irish-sid:
Out of interest, what can't it download?
[Galaxy Note II General] yahyoh:
chrome very fast but its not smooth at all :/ LOL even Android 2.3 browser smoother O_o

google should fix it :silly::silly:
[Galaxy Note II General] D3_:
I'm not sure what build the ios one is on now, but the official chrome in the play store is now on 25 and the beta is on 26.

I keep both simply because I prefer chrome as my main browser due to the syncing with my desktop browser, and the default browser for flash. I also have Firefox installed because it's much easier to share images with it (no need to save the image first)
[Galaxy Note II General] splasenekladivo:
I am pretty satisfied with Chrome Beta. Its fast enough for me, love the tab management and the beta version is much faster and more often updated than regular one. But I need to say I did not give the stock browser a shot, so I will try it now after I read all good about it.
[Galaxy Note II General] GeorgEveS:
Chrome has double the points in BrowserMark v2, than the stock... So I'm using Chrome all the way!

the only thing that chrome is missing is fullscreen mode :(
[Galaxy Note II General] hagba:
Mostly from sharing Web sites, sometimes you get "Download unsuccessful" or "Download failed".

However in most of this cases I use the Opera Mobile which never fails to download anything that is thrown at him.

Anyway for everything else I personally use the stock browser that came with 4.1.2 which in my opinion is even better than the Quick ICS Browser.
[Galaxy Note II General] mankind_18:
For me, stock browser rocks.. especially after enabling csc features, such as added exit confirmation and always open google.com whenever you open a new tab :good:
[Galaxy Note II General] aguadilu:
Hi! Does anyone know if the stock browser restores the previous tabs as the Chrome Beta?

I discovered this amazing Japanese browser Sleipnir. The way it manages the tabs, gestures and flash support make him the best possible. It's only negative side it also files to download certain files as the stock does.
[Galaxy Note II General] crizolli:
Chrome has been improving a lot lately..

It was stuck on a very old version for a long time, but it's now on Chrome 26 and with the Beta things are moving pretty fast, on track to having simultaneous releases with the desktop version.

Bottom line, if you haven't used Chrome for some time, try it again. You'll be impressed.
[Galaxy Note II General] splasenekladivo:
Check out this below for Chrome Beta fullscreen mode, it looks like its just around the corner. Need to wait for it.

First, you need to have an Android 4.0+ device and download Chrome Beta (not Chrome for Android). If you fit the lonely requirement, you can go full speed ahead! Simply follow the next steps:

Type “chrome://flags/” in the address bar

Enable WebGL

Go to the Boids and Buildings Chrome Experiment page

Click on the “Launch Experiment” button

Click on “Run”

You are now on full-screen and can close this page

Keep in mind this is not an official feature just yet, so it’s not perfect. Full screen mode will go away after you close Chome Beta, but you pretty much have to kill it. It continues to work if you leave the app running in the background. If Chrome Beta gets closed, though, you have to follow the last 3 steps again.

This is more than likely no accident or bug. We are willing to bet Google has been secretly planning to introduce this this as a feature in a future update. The coding must be there. If it is a bug, though, we agree with Smackel that is is about the coolest one we have seen.
[Galaxy Note II General] 0711nimajneb:
For me Chrome is first choice.

I use Chrome on different devices and like the sync between them.
[Galaxy Note II General] daz_2000:
The tabs are dreadful in stock. Chrome all the way for me. Only use stock for flash sites.
[Galaxy Note II General] irish-sid:
You having a giggle?
[Galaxy Note II General] fly2dheaven:
hahaha.. chrome all the way.... :cool:
[Galaxy Note II General] Sammath:
I use Chrome just becouse it syncs my desktop sites.

But when flash is required I use the stock browser :).

Boat browser is very nice as well.
[Galaxy Note II General] JVogler:
Would anyone care to explain why they are saying tabs in stock are dreadful. From my perspective they seem way better than chrome. They don't take up space showing all the different tabs so you get a much fuller screen. And there are multiple ways to switch. You can use the Quick Launch which is very fast, or quickly pinch out with your fingers and then swipe between them. Both in my opinion are much faster than Chrome, but maybe I'm not understanding what everyone thinks is so dreadful about them?

-- Note II, TapaTalk II--
[Galaxy Note II General] hagba:
Fully agreed, Stock browser with Quick Controls is hands down the best I've used.
[Galaxy Note II General] daz_2000:
Nope. I hate the stock browser tabs. Horrible to clear and they always seem to come back. Chrome is very smooth for me.
[Galaxy Note II General] irish-sid:
You clearly haven't used the quick controls.
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Nah, I don't think you actually understand what you are saying!

:p
[Galaxy Note II General] :
stock browser is better but chrome has the tab syncing which i use a lot so i go back and forth between them
[Galaxy Note II General] rockky:
Both are inferior to a few browsers Boat Browser and Maxthon to name 2.
[Galaxy Note II General] JVogler:
Are you trolling, or have you not found the clearing options, including a 'clear all' menu button, along with them being automatically cleared if you enable the 'exit browser' button. I've never heard of a tab 'coming back'. My chrome bookmarks are synced to the default browser, plus flash, and it runs MyFreeCams flawlessly! LOL Isn't that reason enough, Chrome and Dolphin choke on MyFreeCams.

-- Note II, TapaTalk II--
[Galaxy Note II General] daz_2000:
I understand perfectly. Its called opinion. Look it up sometime.
[Galaxy Note II General] kebabs:
chrome beta is pretty quick these days...
[Galaxy Note II General] irish-sid:
You can set your Google account to sync book marks and Internet, so what I do when I want to switch from one device to another is make a book Mark of what page im on and it's instantly on the other device. Feels good with the stock browser man.
[Galaxy Note II General] matw01:
When I use the Samsung browser every now and again I get this bug where I can type into a text box on a website and nothing appears in the box.

For that reason I use chrome always, had that problem on all roms I've used.
[Galaxy Note II General] aviralsingh16:
Ok so first of all we aren't XDA call us memebers or something else and all I can say is that google chrome odd a bit faster and has sync with pc chrome browser too but it lacks air view which is in samsung browser
[Galaxy Note II General] Soul788:
AW: Google Chrome vs Samsung Internet Browser

Opera Beta is the best Browser for Note 2 ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] SirCanealot:
I really love Chrome, I really do.

But my main problem with it is it seems to have very bad tab management still. By that I mean, randomly with around 10 tabs open, it will have all 4 cores on doing random stuff. While the default browser will use 2-3 and even drop down to 1 when I'm just reading (awesome perseus kernel).

So that means it drains battery like a naughty female doggy! :(

I did try opera beta once. But I'm really not fond of it having all the controls on the top. Opera mini is easier for me still since they're still on the bottom... But it does look interesting! :)
[Galaxy Note II General] JVogler:
Holy crap, you explained your opinion with reasons...are you sure you're in the right thread?

-- Note II, TapaTalk II--
[Galaxy Note II General] razvanrudy:
the stock browser is much better then Chrome in my opinion
[Galaxy Note II General] denver2020:
Stock browser.. I prefer it to anything and everything else.
[Galaxy Note II General] klect:
since Chrome still has bugs ill sray with stock
[Galaxy Note II General] DanDroidian:
Stock browser, hands down.

I also save my bookmarks to my Google account, so they pop up across all my devices...
[Galaxy Note II General] JVogler:
The setup for this isn't as obvious as I expected it to be. Could you give me the cliff notes on how to sync with my gmail account on the Note2? I did it on my last device and now I've forgotten how.

-- Note II, TapaTalk II--
[Galaxy Note II General] nkvuong:
I think you can enable Internet Sync with your Google Account in Settings/Account?
[Galaxy Note II General] odd1ne:

Hi,

did you manage to install the update? I downloaded the update as well but when I try to install it goes into recovery starts the update and then after some time comes up with the red error triangle with the exclamation.

I had rooted my phone with a custom recovery and have got back to the stock ROM as I wanted the OTA update. I have the stock recovery flashed and the phone is relocked but still rooted.

I'd appreciate it if anyone has any idea why I cannot update.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Because its still rooted !
[HTC One X] Laahiru:
are you sure? in the link below they say that you can update with root intact. if your correct then how can i remove root? is it a case of removing the SU application?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1670433
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
No .... relocking the bootloader is not necessary......unrooting is !

With rom you need

Stock rom (root is NOT stock)

Stock kernel

Stock recovery

Bootloader can stay unlocked

With ruu you need to lock the bootloader that's it.
[HTC One X] Laahiru:
I tried using the "temporary un-root" option in rootkeeper. still did not work. or is there another way to unroot?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
You could try to delete the SU app completely ....don't know if it works i never did it myself. I have a non rooted nandroid backup to fall back to ;)
[HTC One X] Laahiru:
I have such a backup that I have taken using CWM recovery. can't seem to restore that

What's the error on the backup ?
