[Galaxy S III General] dodgebizkit:
Some good points well made, since Google make both browsers its strange that they should be so different though maybe stock is optimised to each device and chrome is one size fits all.

I love a lot of things about chrome but for raw speed as far as I can tell like you say, stock is the Best in that department. Difficult to Test without 2 phones
[Galaxy S III General] yahyoh:
stock browser all the day

its faster smoother have more feature like full screen mode

but chrome has cool feature too but its suck :silly:
[Galaxy S III General] Jay794:
The stock app is awful, I have Firefox, Chrome and Skyfire installed on my S3
[Galaxy S III General] omegajester:
None. I don't like the stock browser's messy menu configuration. Chrome is just... odd. I rather enjoy Dolphin, but I've been using Boat Browser for a while now, and I've grown fond of it...
[Galaxy S III General] poldie:
Chrome causes S3's running Jelly Bean to reboot when you use cut and paste, so I'd have to vote for the stock browser, or dolphin, or firefox, or any other browser.

Seriously, try it. Load up Chrome (on your GT-I9300 Galaxy S3) and long-press on an area of text, select some text and then either press on the selected text or press the copy icon (two overlapping rectangles). Do this between 1 and 20 times and your phone will reboot. It's great!
[Galaxy S III General] For_itembine:
after so many months, the chrome browser sucks, i admit it looks nice, cool features, but its so laggy, even scrolling mobile sites, its a joke, i feel sorry for the nexus 4 owners
[Galaxy S III General] cb_jimmy:
Nothing beats the fluidity of the stock browser. Sure, it might not be fully compatible with all the websites but it is miles better than having frustration over laggy scrolling found in Chrome.

Moreover, the browsing convenience and speed using Quick Controls is unmatched.

I don't know why Google doesn't implement these things in Chrome.
[Galaxy S III General] tanjiajun_34:
Stock is noticeably smooth in scrolling.
[Galaxy S III General] redcom7:
i think stock is better but chrome has better sync abilities with desktop :cowboy:
[Galaxy S III General] dodgebizkit:
Back before I was an android user (and therefore didn't pay much attention) I'm sure I read that they intend to eventually replace stock with chrome as default browser in android... Is there any truth to this? I hope not, while I love having chrome I like to have the choice, and the different things that stock browser has.
[Galaxy S III General] thaBuzzed:
I really want to like chrome... I really do. I keep giving it a chance for a few days every time they push an update out. The deal breaker for me is the lack of full screen mode and the relatively choppy scrolling in general - emphasis on 'relative' ! I guess if the stock browser wasn't so smooth (and very fast to use with quick controls) I would be perfectly happy with chrome.
[Galaxy S III General] Stanerefor:
The new JellyBean stock browser seems very nice, has some features from ICS Browser+, this is from my limited time playing with it at least. Which of them all probably would make this one my favorite browser, but of course it could be because it is new.
[Galaxy S III General] kickassdave:
Couldn't put it better myself. I also "give it a chance" every now and then... but get annoyed about the same things as well as lack of flash support.

When referring to "stock" browser, I feel the cm10 stock browser is also far superior to stock Samsung however...
[Galaxy S III General] XDA mark:
+1, totally agree. Though since I am making UCCW theme's, I kind off have to link my widgets to Chrome for universal support :p

Still use the Stock CM10 browser more though. Chrome sometimes feels slow and not so smooth when scrolling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marcelloLins:
Hi everyone, i have medium to advanced experience with flashing tools, android drivers, adb, fastboot, recovery mode and so on.

This evening once i installed the OTA Update for my Galaxy Nexus (which was running Android 4.2) the process failed at the end (as usual -.-) and i got stuck at bootloader.

I've wiped it completely ending up with no OS installed on it, nothing on SDCARD (Internal storage in this case).

The problem is that, i have no drivers installed on my PC for this phone.

I've already downloaded the latest version of Android 4.2 to flash (.zip), but there's no way i can transfer the file to the phone without the drivers.

I already tried GNex toolkit but it's stuck on "waiting adb device" (i have no fastboot drivers installed and can't install them because i can't find a easy way to do so).

NexusRootToolkit fails on pushing the zip to the phone and flash also won't work.

Any idea of what can i do now?

I may even pay on paypal for a quick help to get my phone back on working
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ttabbal:
Get into the bootloader and use fastboot, or if you have a custom recovery installed (sounds like you don't) then you can adb push from there. ADB doesn't exist in the bootloader, only fastboot. Those are your options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marcelloLins:
Actually i do have a custom recovery which is CMW, but i can't seem to get my internal storage mounted using i'ts options.

I will try to push the .zip using the ADB on the recovery mode.

After checking the logs i can now see :

Enable to mount /usb-otg

(Using NexusRootToolkit i just flashed TWRP as recovery mode)

Solved : adb push <romname.zip> /sdcard/<romname.zip>

After the push was completed, i flashed the new .zip using TWRP in recovery mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NPasta:
Has anyone found a solution to this? Same thing has happened to me and I'm freaking out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
You mean besides the post right above yours?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Save the pain, just flash the stock ROM from fastboot already....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GldRush98:
This. I don't see what the problem is here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gunner1937:
If you have the experience you say you have why do you use a Toolkit:eek:? Just learning for myself.

Yep, i do have it installed, mainly because i'm a developer myself ; )

I've solved it already, as i've said, pushing the rom using ADB.

The upgrade to 4.2.1 probably failed because i've had the phone rooted.

Thanks for all the support and links by the way
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
You are mistaken, root doesn't stop a system update. I can vouch for that myself, even though i know that it doesnt matter just from reading some people's posts around here.

You weren't exactly explicit on your first post, so I presume you didnt/dont have the correct baseband version for that specific OTA to apply. Very common.

Oh and if you've never been able to OTA update successfully, it's not "usual" for the rest of us. You should work towards becoming more verbose and objective when troubleshooting. That will make you more experienced.

Hey, I have this exact problem. My os is gone and all i have is my cwm.

I am also having trouble installing adb, my comp doesn't recognize my nexus.

Please help, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marcelloLins:
Try installing the ADB Drivers manually in order for your PC to recognize it.

Have you tried putting it other modes such as Download Mode and check if your pc installs any driver?

You will have to ADB PUSH the OS image to your internal memory and use CW to flash the rom from the sdcard, but you will need the drivers installed or adb wont be able to see your phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edgarzin:
i have the same problem you had...

i read some stuff and installed adb, sdk and whatever...

im trying the " adb push" command, but i think im doing something wrong.

the rom is on c:\users\edgar\downloads

rom name is abc.zip (i renamed)

what is the correct command format i must type??

thanks guys...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndyYan:
Use "adb sideload c:\users\edgar\downloads\abc.zip". "adb push" is for transferring files from PC to phone, not flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edgarzin:
thanks, but isnt it what am i supposed to do? transfer the zip file to sdcard and then flash using twrp?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miszko77:
for example usb mount via twrp dont work for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndyYan:
adb sideload does both transferring and flashing within a single command. The "sideloaded" ZIP gets saved as "sideload.zip" under the root of the storage.

Glad it worked. Cleaning flashing is a good habit, I won't dirty flash a new ROM. However, if you mess up system files the easiest way top fix it is just a dirty flash.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chowfun:
Is/has anyone experiencing/ed issues with their AT&T HTC One X's Bluetooth A2DP capability when streaming music and/or playing any types of audio?

Mine is a new phone, and it makes a continuous crackling / jitter noise when audio is being streamed to the car's BT stereo. I have also tried this on my computer's BT headset, and it does the same thing. It sounds like the white noise you get from an old TV when you do not get a signal, only the frequency of that noise is less frequent. Using my LG Optimus S right on the side, I do not get any disruptions in my audio stream, so it doesn't seem like it is an environmental interference problem.

Unfortunately I rooted and flashed my phone to Noctural Dirty ROM before I got a chance to try anything out on the stock ROM, so I am not quite sure if this behavior is limited to the ROM (software issue) or if there is actually something wrong with the phone (hardware issue) that I should go get a replacement.

Searching through the forums I am getting mixed feedbacks (some folks are saying that they are getting replacements, while some say that the issue comes and goes).

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chowfun:
Well, for the heck of it I flashed the stock RUU back and lo' and behold, the problem vanished. Crystal clear sound... How can this happen?

As soon as I root the device and flash to a custom ROM, this problem again resurfaces... :eek:

Perhaps I am doing this wrong?

From stock:

1) Unlock bootloader

2) Flash recovery

3) Flash boot.img

4) Wipe system, cache, davlik-cache

5) Install rom

6) Reboot

7) Install streaming app + BT pairing

This seemed to happen on all the ROMs I have tried so far - ViperXL, Noctural, CleanROM, Calkulin...

Maybe I also need to flash the radio or something?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Anyhow, I exchanged my device for another one and it seemed to have resolved the issue.

What remains curious was, why did the original phone not have any problems on stock ROMs but problems on almost all other rooted ROMs? Perhaps the Bluetooth stack was different or there was some kind of settings difference between these? Ummm... :rolleyes:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] crabnebula:
I have the same issue with my Rogers One X.

However, it does not go away if I revert to stock with the RUU, though it does become much less intense than with AOSP ROMs.

I spoke with HTC tech support on a couple occasions and after several diagnostic steps they concluded it was a hardware problem and issued an RMA. I made it perfectly clear with them that my device's bootloader had been previously unlocked, which did not seem to be a concern since this was hardware-related.

However, after sending my device to their authorized repair center here in Canada, it was returned to me untouched with the mention "Unlocked phone - Return without repair". At the time of sending it in, the bootloader had been relocked and the device was 100% stock.

I called HTC back again, asking why they'd issue an RMA number after I mentioned upfront that I had unlocked the bootloader if the device would just be sent back to me, and they said that there was nothing they could do. They disagreed with this policy but it was that of their service provider called FutureTel here in Canada...

In short: I don't think this issue can be fixed, it is probably a defective motherboard.

Hey all,

Now, I have done the searching, and found the thread about getting tablet UI on my Nexus 7, It looks nice and I'll probably end up using it... However, I like the way the UI is laid out on the Nexus 10...

Now, I know that the 7 will switch to landscape mode and look similar, however, I want the App Drawer and associated buttons to be across the bottom and the google search bar to be across the top like the 10, as opposed to the sides on the 7.

Now, I understand that the N10's screen is a higher resolution, but I figure if anyone has figured it out, it'd be someone here at xda.

So, my question is, has anyone figured out how to do this yet?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuzone:
Are you running 4.2?

If you're running version 4.2 or over and don't mind having slightly smaller icons, I would recommend changing your DPI from 213 to 160 in /system/build.prop

Of course you will have to be rooted to do this, but this would be worth trying and should give you what you're looking for :).

If you're running 4.1.2 maybe try this this method also (as I can't remember the layout when you change your DPI on 4.1.2, and you can always change it back). If not, try some launchers from the Play Store like Apex or Nova.

Hope this helps.
