[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt.one:
well i havent played with the new chrome version(s) but back then when most of us tried chrome it was hella 1) buggy 2) slow 3) didnt support flash. and i believe it had that annoying feature of constantly refreshing pages (again not sure if newer versions have smoothed everything out)

and the fact that it's the stock browser was quick, snappy and that it was able to synce my google bookmarks too, it was a winner winner
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thevuman:
Chrome is trash. It's slow, no flash, text is blurry. The only redeeming quality is that it syncs with chrome desktop.. But even that isn't enough to save it from being a horrible mobile browser

The constant refreshing pages is annoying as heck. Hate that! Safari on my iPad Mini does the same thing. Pisses me off. It's not even a memory issue either, cause I'll leave the tab and come back and it still refreshes smh
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilks3y:
So true !

I was a die hard Chrome fan on my laptops etc, so when it came to Android I never looked back.

Until literally a couple of months ago, I though I'd give a different browser a go.

I'm afraid to say, EVERY other browser I tried, was better than Chrome.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groid:
Being rooted, I replaced the default N7 browser with the AOSP browser and side-loaded flash. It works great. Fast browser and excellent flash videos.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
AOSP browser is just smoother than Chrome... a light feather gossamer touch is all that is needed to scroll up or down - and apart from frighteningly fast page download speeds, it's also Adobe Flash compliant.

The one feature missing, that would make the AOSP browser a 10 marks out of 10 browser is 'text-flow' (pinch zoom, and text 'flows' and automatically reformats into the space created, instead of going off the edge of the screen). But even Chrome doesn't have this feature.

Dolphin Browser Beta - (

http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dolphin.browser.lab.en&hl=en

) has 'text-flow' , but unfortunately isn't entirely stable... and doesn't support Flash.

An interesting new contender is the (relatively) new WebKit version of Opera...

Opera Browser Beta - (

http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.browser.beta

).

Smooth scrolling and a nice 'clean' interface... supports 'text-flow'... but not particularly fast... and doesn't support Flash. Like Dolphin Browser Beta, it's also a bit flaky.

--------

So for me, it's going to be the AOSP browser everytime... it's fast, smooth and supports Flash. It's not perfect, but it's the best Android browser available... IMHO, of course:).

Now... what was that question about Chrome again?:):):).

Rgrds.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PVL_93_RU:
I can live with Chrome pretty much, it's slowly getting better with each update. But it would be follish to reject the fact that AOSP Browser is faster and simply more appealing in terms of UI. Though the address/search/control bar in the upper part of the screen takes too much space, while Chrome's panel is minimalistic (though nowhere as close as Opera Beta one - the smallest bar evar)

Lack of Flash support in Chrome is again not a big trouble, since it's not OFFICIALLY supported in 4.1.x and above => Browser tends to crash from time to time forcing me to completely close it and reopen with opening all the tabs again or wait until it opens the same cached tab again until it hangs dead once more. HTML5 is more than enough (at least for the sites I visit from my tablet)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] issak42:
I'm thinking of changing browsers from Chrome soon, lately EVERY click gets that popup balloon and I have to click it again, even if there is no other buttons around what I pressed, it's getting kinda annoying. And what they do with the text, instead of just displaying everything nicely, browsing the forum looks awful. These two 'features' should be disabled somehow, other than that I don't mind chrome. It's not the best, but not the worst either.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groid:
If you zoom to where the text goes off the page, double-tap the screen to make the text flow reformat back to fit the screen.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Yeah, I know about the 'double-tap'... it just enlarges/zooms... but doesn't reflow - or at least on my version of AOSP browser it doesn't.

If you have (or know of) a version of the AOSP browser that does that... then I would be most interested in it.

So any download links, CWM/TWRP flashable's... or even something I can 'push' to /system... or maybe flashable ROMs... that would be most appreciated.

Such a browser - (AOSP, Adobe Flash Compliant... and Text-flow capable) would be the sine qua non of browsers... IMHO.

Rgrds,

Ged.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groid:
Yes, if I just double-tap it zooms or zooms back. But if I have zoomed the text too much to fit the screen, a double-tap will re-flow the text to fit the screen. The ASOP browser I'm using shows in All apps as Version 4.1.1-eng.sparkyman216.20120801.074324. I think I got it from an XDA thread but I'm not sure which one. It is dated 8/5/12 and is about 1.6 Mb. I have the .apk available if you want it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Sounds ideal!

And it also sounds like 'not all AOSP browsers' are born equal!

I would definitely be interested in a copy of your .apk... probably going to have to too screw around with some ODEX stuff to make it work.

But if I can get text-flow working in an AOSP browser... with Flash Support... that would be great.

Rgrds,

Ged
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groid:
OK, the process once you get the browser.apk file: you must be rooted and have a root file explorer like 'Root Explorer' or 'ES File Explorer'. Navigate to /system/app, mount as R/W, and rename BrowserProviderProxy.apk and BrowserProviderProxy.odex by adding a .bak extention (i.e. browserproviderproxy.apk.bak). Copy browser.apk into /system/app. Verify the permissions are set as owner=Read Write, Group and Others as Read. Restart the N7. Place a shortcut for Browser from the app drawer on your dock or home screen. Try it out. (Sideload Flash from the Adobe website if not already installed.)

I just noticed you have a custom rom and kernel. I don't know if this works with that combination. I'm stock rom, and kernel and rooted. You might want to check some cyanogenmod forums. If you want to pm me with your email, I'll attach the browser.apk file.

I'm basically looking for an app that would allow me to post a screen shot to my home screen and give me the option to resize the widget. My professor emailed us our new upcoming course schedule and I took a screen shot of it, now I'd like to have it readily available on my home screen. Does anyone know of any app out there with those capabilities?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GNEXUS2:
Okay so I changed the font on my galaxy nexus when it was rooted and I disliked the font but didn't think about it so I locked and unrooted my phone and then factory reseted it thinking it would change back to the normal font. So how do I get my original font back? Please help me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
Flash stock ROM with fast boot or re root and flash a ROM that doesn't have a custom font

i dont know why everyone thinks factory reset fully places everything back to when they got the phone.

all it does is wipe your data and sdcard. nothing more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Factory reset has never wiped my sdcard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
He meant a factory reset from within Android itself, I'm sure.

Sent from my Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
correct. true factory reset, not custom recovery factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Huh. Weird.

Never knew factory reset does two different things depending on if you select it from recovery or settings. Doesn't make much sense imo. Glad I never selected factory reset from the settings menu then. Now that I know this I am wondering why we don't differentiate between the two, since they are two completely different options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Good point.

I think its kinda between the lines, they're similar in the sense that both erase user apps/preferences, but custom recoveries also aimed to keep internal sdcard contents, something that's not possible with the "true" factory reset that Android had/has.

Unless stated, I assume a user that factory reseted, did it on a custom recovery.

Gonna try and kill two birds with one stone.

I downgraded to 4.1.2 . Now Android keeps making a message pop up asking me to update. Problem is, if I'm playing an emulator it will disconnect the bluetooth controller so it's a real problem. How can I make it stop?

My second issue. I'm using WiimoteController app, it works great on the emulators. Only problem, it doesn't connect sensitivity. It doesn't matter if you push it a little, it still goes full motion. Is there any way to incorporate so that the sensitivity is in place? Because it makes certain games unplayable without the ability to use t.

Thanks guys.

Need some help here...been running AOKP unofficial just fine for a while then all of a sudden my phone starts acting crazy and the flash will go off and then start vibrating and try to reboot, then it kinda gets stuck in a mini boot loop. I have to hold down the power button to get it to fully reboot properly. So i thought it might be a bad app. I uninstalled some apps and it kept doing it. So I wiped and installed the latest AOKP unofficial rom. it did it a couple of times even with no apps on the phone. One thing ive also notice is when I push the power button to sleep/lock, It comes right back on to the lockscreen...Thoughts?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeyyMyNameIs:
Is it possible to ruin my phone's battery due to overcharging? I charge my phone overnight no matter what percentage it is on, I still charge it I know this is bad, but can this ruin the battery? thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sspyed:
You should be able to charge as long as you want w no problems as long as you're doing this in a cool or room-temp environment (rather than say leaving it alone in a car charging at high noon w AC off, windows down & no sun shades on the windshield). If you have your phone charging in hi-temp conditions too long\often your battery swells & you get gradual irreparable damage.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luiseteyo:
If u make a correct use of your battery it won't get damaged. Extreme overclock, overvolt, etc can ruin your battery, but if u charge it every day because ur battery is empty it's ok, and u won't have any problem. ;)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesc760:
Normally, when your phone reaches 100 % full battery level, it stops charging and starts discharging. At around 95 % level, it starts charging again. This all takes a toll on the battery, especially over a long period.

If your phone's battery is at or above 50%, leave it alone or turn it off for the night.

I have an external battery pack for use during the day time, just for situations like this.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username8611:
It'll automatically stop charging itself when it's full, it's impossible to overcharge a modern cell phone battery these days. They are a bit more computerized than the old nicad batteries from back in the day. It's actually healthier to give lithium batteries partial charges at a time instead of draining to zero percent and charging to 100 percent.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingenious247:
How do you know your battery is getting worse if it's always charging?

My personal experience is the less you charge it, the better it will perform. However, when you DO charge it, make sure you are less than 30% battery and charge it to 100% before removing it.

For me it's easy, I basically charge my phone at night when I go to bed and that's it. I easily get through an entire day on this phone, though I admit I usually only have about 2-1/2 hours screen on time (I mostly use my tablet when I am at home)

Hi All,

This may be a little off the regular topic but it's all the same kit.. Has anyone got any suggestions for an iMate SmartPhone 2 (also known as an O2 XPhone) that failed during a ROM upgrade?

It comes up with the bootloader at power on now (1.04) and when I attempt to reflash it, the unit goes "white-screen" ...

I've got the NBF file of the ROM and a 256Mb SD card at the ready but am not 100% sure how to get an SD Rom upload happening on this device.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
Well why do you think unlocking the bootloader is even needed? You cannot do anything but root if you don't unlock the BL. No way to install any recovery.

However, where did you get this that .145 cannot be unlocked? Unlockability has nothing to do with the firmware version. If you really cannot unlock (tried and failed), it is for different reasons.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablogomez:
Svereal people has told me that this update came with many security fixes, and one of them is for unlocking the boot, that if i try, mos likely it's gonna end in hard bricking my phone via RSD lite that i guess is the only way to flash the unlock sbf..... the point is that soooo many people has told me this, that now i'm very afraid to do it, everyone's has said that this compilation and because it's a AT&T phone, it can't be unlocked the boot.....

Wich could be the consequences if i try to unlock the boot and fail??? (Please, i know that you guys know a lot about this, so i want to be very sure that there's no really high risk of bricking just for the firm, or for the fact that is AT&T)

I'm trying to unlock the BL to put th CM7.....
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberpunkShadow:
Here you go.

Old post, but here you go. I installed the 4.5.145 OTA update, then followed the guide written by "thekooliest" over on the atrixforums.com to unlock the bootloader after rooting. As always, no responsibility blah, blah. Make sure you post any further basic questions on that forum instead of here. They are better at dealing with new people. Good luck. As for a ROM, I'd recommend Epinter's 10.1 or NottAch if you want to have full functionality. If you want to overclock epinter's rom, use fech's 1.2 Kernel. Faux's 1.3 and 1.45 are on the Aroma Installer included in Nottach.

i want to go back to ics. the jelly bean downsides are becoming a pain right now. what exactly would happen if i just reflashed with ics stock? will it brick and will it be recoverable? can anyone explain in depth the issue regarding this? or will i have to put my phone up for sale and obtain a replacement that still has ics?

the jb performance has been cool but i had everything working perfectly on ics. and the jb update is just significantly less than perfect for my setup and app needs. serves me right for rushing for the latest update i guess. but ive got to go back to ics. jb reminds me of windows millenium edition.

[Motorola Droid 4] The Magician Type 0:
Sorry you aren't enjoying the upgrade. I'll throw out the obligatory suggestion of performing a factory reset on your phone if you haven't already done so since the upgrade. This will allow your phone to clear out old ics data and use pure jb. However, for some people, updates truly do kill their experience and that's a personal thing.

With official updates from Motorola, our devices also receive a new kernel in addition to a new version of android. JB uses a newer kernel than ICS, just as ICS used a newer one than Gingerbread. Unfortunately, because our devices have locked bootloaders, you cannot go back to the ICS kernel, meaning you can not downgrade. Trying to fastboot back will result in a brick, most likely permanent.

At this point, you would need to get a replacement still running ICS if you truly want to downgrade. Alternately, considering using custom roms, which at this point are all JB based, but far superior to the Motorola "Blur" version found on stock phones.

Sorry!
[Motorola Droid 4] jmagi:
thanks. looks like this d4 is going up for sale. i did the factory resets when i did the update. but some apps i really like dont work on on jb. id designated them lifelong companion apps. so jb being unable to run them means jb has got to go. my d4 completely suited my needs untilt this update. now it's incomplete. and without moto allowing the bootloader to be unlocked means athe d4 was just destroyed by this update imho.

[Motorola Droid 4] tcrews:
Have you thought of emailing the app developers and asking them to update them to support JB?

Any and every new phone coming will be based on JB so that limits you to buying older, unsupported devices which will make newer apps as they come out unavailable to you.
