Hi all

I have a sony ericsson xperia ray with Gingerbread flashed. When i try to turn on the wireless it freezes and wherever i touch on the screen it is not responding. I unlocked bootloader, rooted and installed CWM and after i flashed a new rom and a new kernel (doomlord and Ray onium) the problem still exists..

Any help?

Thanks

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UzEE:
My friend's Galaxy S II's battery had died so he got a replacement battery (original was made in Japan, the new one is made in Korea).

After changing the battery, the phone is unable to connect to mobile network. It reads the SIM card and shows the network strength as well but still says "Emergency calls only". It can't text or make phone calls, but weirdly enough, the data network works fine. It can connect to EDGE and GPRS networks and browse the internet etc.

The phone is running Android 4.1.2 and appears to be running the official update. Any ideas what's wrong with the device. I can't see why changing the battery would cause problems with the network.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
Check if the imei number in settings is correct and not missing (compare it with the number behind ur battery).

Don't post the imei here.

Just curious to see what browsers people are using on their Manta. Do you go for fast and stable browsers or ones that are feature rich?

I use UC Browser for Tablets myself I feel it has a good balance of speed and features.
[Nexus 10 General] abdel12345:
I used chrome for a while but then I stitched to aosp browser and its a lot better. Faster smoother and it shows downloads whole chrome sometimes didn't.

Must be rooted... Go to /data/data/mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser/shared_prefs

Delete the file mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser_preferences.xml

You won't lose any features, and you also won't be able to turn off flash... You could just rename the file to .xml1 or something so it can't read it

They did but they turned it off when adobe stopped supporting new devices... It won't let you turn it on... Deleting the file above turns it on, I couldn't figure out what it is in the file that turns it off, so I just deleted the whole thing and it worked...

I use Firefox beta. Fast, reliable, synced with my desktop and my nexus 4 and, of course, with flash support :thumbup:
[Nexus 10 General] spacetaxi:
Boat Browser (paid version). I'm using it for ages on my Galaxy Note and now I'm using it on the Nexus 10 as well.

I'd like to switch to Firefox, but it is heavily lagging when scrolling slightly complex webpages (e. g. www.spiegel.de). So I'll wait for this to be fixed.
[Nexus 10 General] shahed26:
Same here as well. Using paid boat browser on my nexus 10 and S3 but would love to switch to Firefox but its so laggy on some heavy pages compare to boat thats so smooth.

Haven't tried Firefox beta yet though. But to be honest I dont think firefox even the beta version will come close to boat browser in terms of performance but UI wise I prefer Firefox because its very neat and clean.
[Nexus 10 General] bigmatty:
Boat, because it has flash non rooted, and because it does "mouse over" well.
[Nexus 10 General] c19932:
Xscope. But the only good thing about it is that I can swipe to go back and forth. It can do flash as well and rendering is not bad
[Nexus 10 General] rubene66:
i use aosp browser but i think and i use to lightning browser is faster
[Nexus 10 General] KejPi:
I am still not decided which browser to use on N10. I like bookmarks sync of Chrome but I do not like that it is not hiding tabs and address bar so it has not so much space to show web page contents. I like the way of automatic hiding of address bar of Boat browser but it does not work in full screen mode for some reason. On top of that there is no sync with Chrome bookmars. And last that I was trying is Dolphin with Jetpack. It can hide notification bar on top, it can somehow show and hide tab and address bar infull screen mode but it it not as userfriendly as Boat. It can also somehow sync with Chrome bookmarks. At the moment I tend to use Dolphin but still not fully satisfied with interface in fullscreen.

These are features that good browser should have in my opinion:

* two-way sync with chrome bookmarks

* possibility to hide top notification bar to optimize screen usage (fullscreen) - ideally also bottom bar

* easy usage of tab and address bar in full screen - some automatic showing/hiding as Boat can do in normal mode

* reasonable speed

I am affraid there is no browser with all those features :(
[Nexus 10 General] bigmatty:
Oh, also Boat has Google Cloud Print add on FTW
[Nexus 10 General] CWalkop:
Use Chrome Beta. It has a very smooth implementation of this feature as of about a week ago - you can't actually find it on the Play Store search, though. You have to use a link; there's one here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.beta&hl=en

Also, I find Dolphin is the smoothest scrolling and panning of them all - also one of the fastest to load. But does anyone else find it inconsistent? I was using it on my Galaxy Nexus today, and the auto-fullscreen was glitching out when I panned horizontally. The page caching seems a bit odd, SOMETIMES clearing all my tabs and sometimes not (not like Chrome closes almost all of them - sometimes they save for a while sometimes not). Its a solid performer when it DOES perform, the best. But Chrome Beta, even though its a bit slower and doesn't scroll or pan NEARLY as fast, is quite consistent overall.
[Nexus 10 General] dibblebill:
You just nailed it on why I finally stopped using Dolphin. That, and... Chrome BOokmark sync. My phone, laptop, desktop, tablet, work laptop, and work desktop (yes, I utilize all of the above :S) all have Chrome with my bookmarks on them. I use Chrome on all my devices now.

Also, Dolphin does weird things with Lotus Notes at work and I can't access it, even in Dolphin Mini
[Nexus 10 General] BamAlmighty:
I use Chrome simply because being able to sync across many devices is awesome that alone is worth dealing with the crashing and other problems.

My biggest pet peeve.... despite so many people requesting it Google continues to remain thick headed about allowing us to enable Desktop Website by DEFAULT.

I hate having to check that box every time I open a new tab or click a link on one page that opens another window with the mobile version.
[Nexus 10 General] KejPi:
Thanks for your information. I have installed it but I haven't found any way to enable fullscreen. I was googling it and I have only found that this feature is for phones only. How did you activate it for tablet?
[Nexus 10 General] rlattin24:
Dolphin is great but I since Swype doesn't want to auto space in URLs I had to switch away from it. Haven't really tried boat yet.
[Nexus 10 General] Homey:
+1 for Dolphin. Love swiping the left to get bookmarks and right to get full screen. Great browser!

[Nexus 10 General] stead2120:
Cool, I'll give it a try tonight! I'm running AOKP 4.2.2 with the ICS Browser, but Flash works a bit wonky, and when I'm on Reddit, I have to tap the back button twice for some reason to go back a page. Cool Beans, thanks for the rec, I will buy the full version of Boat Browser. Cheers!!!
[Nexus 10 General] aminaked:
Careful, I would not trust Boat, Dolphin, and many of the browsers out there. For example, I posted the following in Boat's XDA thread a while back and they have not addressed it.

Comment on this analysis of Boat: http://mobilesandbox.org/xml_report_static/?q=351712

0. Why is Boat reading contacts?

1. Why is Boat reading data logs?

2. Why is Boat reading last known location?

3. Why is Boat reading the subscriber and device IDs?

4. Why is Boat encrypting and phoning home data?

5. What about all of the other garbage brought to light by that analysis?

Boat users need to know the answers to all of these questions.

Because Boat knows that nobody reads that when you install it . They make some extra ice cream money with all this info about you and you and you ...

I want to use Chrome full time but the fools have yet to fix the font issue where on random posts on a forum, or random block of text on webpages the text is larger in size then everything else. Was introduced a few versions ago and still not addressed. So I still use the AOSP browser.

i want font wrap or text reflow whatever its called for Chrome at least make it an option for those that dont like it, its the only reason i dont use chrome on my phone.

Can anyone advice me on which is the lightest browser which looks good on the 10 inch screen too? I am on a limited wifi plan and dolphin uses up a huge amount of my data limit. I tried opera mini but it's toolbars and all are very small for the n10...

[Nexus 10 General] rlattin24:
One thing I like about dolphin is it asks you where you want to download your file when you click it. Is there any other browsers that do this?
[Nexus 10 General] Valynor:
Try NakedBrowser. It is very very fast and from an xda member.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fevdev.nakedbrowser

Oh, and it's 114kb. Is that light enough? :p
[Nexus 10 General] shahed26:
Fast but ugly UI puts me off. Not UI friendly and does lack on features. I guess that's why its called naked browser.

Am using boat for flash videos and chrome for everything else.
[Nexus 10 General] SacGuru:
I tried naked browser, and really liked it, thanks a lot for recommending. The thing is, I want a browser which uses as less data as possible. Does the naked browser compresses data well, like opera mini?

As I said, I just tried naked browser. I will agree with you on the fact that it's interface is not as conventionally pleasing to the eyes as say, Boat's or Dolphin's is, but I dont think it's lacking in any feature. Infact I find it has more features than Dolphin, which I used to use earlier, such as searching for text on page...

Check out Baidu browser it claims to cut data usage by 90% and unlike opera mini it looks decent on our nexus 10.don't know if it's for you though but you can check it out

I haven't actually tired Baidu till writing this post but man is fast and sweet and has the feature i like from dolphin where it lets you select your save destination per file

No, but you could try the new Opera beta. It features data compression ("Off-Road Mode"), too: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.browser.beta

[Nexus 10 General] gamepois0n:
each browser have its own unique function(s).

FireFox and UCbrowser are able to view flash and supports all ways of downloads but lack in bookmark support

while chrome able to backup bookmarks to your google account and better support on YouTube make it quite nice but lack in flash and download support is its downfall.
[Nexus 10 General] mustbepbs:
Either Boat Browser or the AOSP browser. Both are excellent, with AOSP being a little smoother.

I use the Photon browser for those Web sites which only work using Windows browsers because it communicates with the Web via own servers. For other Web sites I use the Boat browser or Naked Browser Pro when not connected to WIFI because it blocks media automaticay until allowed manually which saves money.

I also use the Split browser if I want to view two Web pages simultaneously.
[Nexus 10 General] rocketsaucev2:
I'm using the 'browser' in liquid smooth, but it has a very frustrating thing happening, was looking for some advice. When I press back it simply refreshes the web page and puts me on the top rather than actually going back. I've tried wiping, etc and the problem persists. I am able to actually go back by pressing back twice in rapid succession, but this is hardly a fix. Any suggestions?
[Nexus 10 General] bruce_aisher:
I currently use Chrome but I am getting fed up with the jerky scrolling and the high memory use

Hopefully the memory issue that causes the jerky scrolling on Chrome/FF will be fixed in 4.3

I'm using Ocean browser as it provides thumb controls and a full screen mode. When using an expanded desktop it has no display issues that the AOSP browser does. It still provides all the speed of the original AOSP and none of the instability of Chrome.

I also use LMT/Pie and the two thumb control interfaces do not interfere with each other.

It depends on what features you want. Book mark sync is not one I care about and the ui with full-screen with thumb controls are my preferring browsing interface. This is the closest to AOSP as I can get. I tried many others but they all failed the every day test for me.

As they say each to their own.

I'd spent ages playing with different browsers and always seemed to have that annoying slightly zoomed in 'feature' when visiting pages.

So I haven't seen this type of thread yet, I was at my local Walmart and the tag was there but no phone, not even the dummy. It was listed for 198.88* and the * meant with qualifying upgrade or new agreement (2yr contract). I left there and dialed 611 and asked for retention to the bot operator. Once I got through, they wouldn't budge from 149 down and 20 bucks a month deal. I've been a T-Mobile customer since it was Voice Stream and the rep noted that, but still wouldn't budge. She suggested I go third party, but even at that route, I am not eligible for full upgrade until November. I have an old grandfathered family plan and I won't ditch it for the new plans just to get this phone, I'd buy a S3 before that happened. Anyway, has anyone gotten or found any better deals, Costco, Sam's (I didn't have time to stop in while on lunch).

Thanks foyer this I'm wondering the same thing!! Not even the tmobile stores have handsets yet and I'm not due for upgrade til next April and they would not even let me get the 149 down deal cuz of my plan and weve been with Tmobile for like 15 years

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gear79:
In your case, since its a yera before you can upgrade, your best option is to buy off contract, waiting may have a drop in price, but how long to wait. At the rate Samsung has been releasing Galaxy series devices, it will be 6 months before we see the Note 3 or S5 lol. Wirefly may have deals, but third party seems to be an alternative. And if the sales rep is nice or want to make a sale, maybe there is some light at the end of the tunnel for you.
