There are many variables involved in what the speed of a Browser is going to be on any given device, Not least of which is the Data Connection. Which plays a large part. That being said the same Browser, on the two of the same Devices, with two different Data Connections, will act differently.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brokemember:
Cant say which is the fastest...but personally prefer Dolphin Browser (and chrome for the sync features)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaikun97:
opera mini is very speedy however because of the fact the pages are loaded on a server it isnt very optimal for downloading and pages with javascript or flash player
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechEdge:
Dolphin, Chrome, Opera

I had never installed Dolphin, I tried it recently & i think is fast. Chrome is still heavy on resources for my Galaxy Grand where as Opera saves on bandwidth.

I've tried all the android browser's and in my opinion the fastest one is next browser. It also supports flash and as user agent so you can view HTML 5 without much fuss. Try it for yourself I think you'll be impressed. ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aminaked:
Next requires intrusive privileges, and is created by "GO Dev Team" who have a poor privacy track record. It is the latest in a long line of garbage Android browsers: Dolphin, Boat, One, and most other Android browsers are all crapware.

Spying is not only an invasion of privacy, it wastes battery power, bandwidth, and CPU.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ph0enix_216:
Opera Mini. Chrome can be pretty fast with the right tweaks as well.

I used Boat a lot because HTML5 videos would run very well. Now I found Baidu Browser and it's the fastest I've ever used. Despite having just 512 RAM, it doesn't even reload images on complex web pages when you scroll and loads completely other pages when opened in background.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iceman2894:
chrome is the best

try it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singa76:
For quick browsing on the go, you might want to check out the new browser "Lynx Browser(Free)" at

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.weejim.app.lynx

It does not load images by default and in addition, you can also turn off javascript for added speed boost.

[HTC One X] tiagoSequeira:
Hey guys, I have a terrible problem here. The problem is that I got tired of Sense and I love stock android 4.2 and I just cannot use roms built on that android version because the battery drain is humongous. Using my phone just to check twitter and facebook and it goes down in 3 hours. I tried Cyannogen Mod and I'm now on Icecoldjelly both with Xm kernel and it is always the same. This is terribly annoying because the roms are perfect and so is the phone, except for that battery. Does anybody recommend I do something, are there some mods/tweaks to increase battery life? Is I cleared battery stats and performed more than 3 charge cycles, in case you ask. Thank you, hope you can help me
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
haha! and I thought I was the only one... I see people who are getting 15-18 hours on ICJ...

I also get terribly low battery backup... even though battery is calibrated.. Sync off... Auto Brightness.. etc etc...

However, on sense roms I get great battery!
[HTC One X] nogotaclue:
I would suggest a faulty battery, I use mine for twit and fb too and a whole load of other stuff but i get a lot more than 3 hours. I am on slimbean 4.2 now but I have tried cyanogen 10.1 and icj, both of which gave me similar battery life to slim, although neither of them could equal slimbean they were not as bad as you are experiencing
[HTC One X] tiagoSequeira:
But the battery is fine in sense roms so that is a bit hard to believe. This is really crazy, in 4 hours today it got to 25%, one of those hours being in standby. I'll try some other roms

[HTC One X] tiagoSequeira:
I'm going to try SlimBean and try to check if any app is causing the battery drain, thanks for the screenshot
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
LOL... You have charged the device in between a lot... We are talking abt battery backup with a single charge... then from 100%-0% !! :silly:

Look at his screenshot dude... he has charged the phone in between many times! :P
[HTC One X] nogotaclue:
I have charged it in between but i got about 10 hours before it went down to about 20% then i put it on charge, but i'ts still way better than the 3 hours the op is getting

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

The reply wasn't intended to get you to try slim, only to show that not all 4.2 roms are as heavy on battery. there are plenty of others to try, I just prefer slim
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
I get around this much:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/q9phy4j15ocv7t8/Screenshot_2013-05-07-22-44-34.png

Not that bad... Not good either! :/
[HTC One X] nogotaclue:
I'd say thats about normal, but the op's 3 hours is seriously wrong. I would have to use navigation, music, facebook, twitter and XDA all at the same time to run my battery down that fast :eek:
[HTC One X] tiagoSequeira:
With minimal usage I got around 5/6 hours. I'm going to try other roms and settings to see if I get this right. I'm currently on slim. I'll see how it performs tomorrow. If it goes bad then wth, I'll just go back to a Sense rom
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
Disable auto sync/fb location... use trickster mod and set governor to smartmax and IO scheduler to row/sio...

Cap the max frequency to 1.2 GHz... Use greenify to hibernate apps which you don;t need..

There is absolutely no lag for me... When I want to play some games I just switch to interactive or gaming governor! :)
[HTC One X] tiagoSequeira:
Thanks everybody, I found my daily driver, today I got 13 hours with regular usage and still 25% to go, slimbean is the best. Even if it was not a recommendation to test the rom, it helped a lot

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] santiagoboari:
Hello everyone, I'm Santiago, from Argentina. I bought an Xperia Mt11i (Neo V) smartphone last year from argentinian phone carrier Claro (ex-CTI).

It's my first android phone and as I came to learn a bit about the system, I wanted to unlock my bootloader o I could install custom roms and kernels, as I have been playing with some cutom roms, but I can only access the ones that do not require Bootloader unlocked (i.e., I can't install CyanogenMod, MIUI v5, etc).

Checking in the SERVICE hidden menu, the status in my phone says "Bootloader Unlock Allowed=NO" (so I coudn't follow the official Sony guide to unlocking the bootloader) and I contacted my phone carrier to ask them wether they could do something about it, either by free or paying methods. They replied that bootloader is a device function, not a service provided/modified by them and that I should ask directly to Sony. As there is no Sony mobile branch in Argentina, I went to the talk.sonymobile forums to post my question in hope that someone may be able to tell me wether something can be done about this. Over there someone said that they thought it could be done (something about having done it with xperia Z), that I should ask over the xda forums, so here I am.

I searched info over the forums but didn't find any threads regarding my specific problem, which is changing the "bootloader allowed" status from NO to YES with phones bought from a telephone carrier. I've found tons and tons of info on how to unlock the bootloader, but all of them are for "bootloader allowed=yes" cases, so I thought it was worth the shot asking about this.

I should also add that my phone is in fact SIM-locked at the moment, and I have no idea wether this is a limitation for what I'm trying to do or not. Reading throughout the web I encountered several places that said that SIM-Unlocking your phone via NCK code (which I could obtain from my phone carrier) does not, indeed, unlock your bootloader, but I was wondering if it might, at least, change the status to "Unlock Allowed=YES" (this, I read, is sometimes the case).

I am eager to find a solution to this situation, so any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Santiago.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] zadrozny91:
Sorry mate, but as far as I'm informed, You can't unlock bootloader in Your NEO V.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] santiagoboari:
Well that's too bad, I was really hoping I would be able to somehow.

After calling Customer Service a lot, I'm now waiting for a direct reply from my phone carrier about the subject. Over at the sony forums they told me that Sony couldn't unlock it because of legal issues with the phone carrier, as the phone carrier is usually the one that demands to have a locked bootloader. I'm still hoping, however, that there'll be some sort of workaround and that either Sony or my phone carrier will give me some sort of solution. It's been done before, apparently, with Movistar in Spain. Apparently Sony was able to unlock the bootloader for those that bought an Xperia 2011 phone with Movistar Spain that had "Bootloader Unlock Allowed : NO". I can't post a link that thread yet, as I'm still new here at xda, but I'm quoting what it says over there: "In a nutshell "The Solution Sony proposses is, for those of you with a code-unlocked terminal, to contact Sony at questions.es@support.sonymobile.com, with your email, imei and unlocking code".

I know it's a particular case with Movistar Spain, but I'm still trying to get some info on wether something similar can be accomplished between my phone carrier and Sony.

Thanks for your reply, and I'm still hoping someone over here can tell me something about all of this.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] bitoyz13:
It's your phone carrier mate, they locked up the phone. Call them everyday until they remove the sim-lock on your phone..

For me Linus Torvalds is the greatest man on earth
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] santiagoboari:
Well that seems to be the case, even though they are playing dumb and saying they are not the reason for locking the bootloader and that I should contact Sony and have them solve the problem for me....

I think I'm about to go into war with these guys. I kinda get why they lock the bootloader, what I won't forgive is being lied to like this. It's outrageous.

I'll check this post periodically though, maybe there's one of those miraculous solutions that I can try in the meantime.

Thanks for replying anyways.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
Sadly even if your bootloader is unlocked you won't get to install the custom kernels

As your fastboot would still be SIM locked

And that can't be undone by Sony ofcourse

--You've to unlock fastboot

--Unlocking bootloader is no big deal -you'll have to pay few bucks and use wotanserver or s2 tool

There's a guide on using Testpoint (unofficial) unlocking in Neo V development section

Hope this clears out your issues more clearly :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] amin-:
my phone had the same problem and i briked my phone and then repaired it with preset.ta file and then used s1tool to unlock it and it is unlocked now

you can also use plasma tool for free unlock(i tried it also and it worked)

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sartheris:
Hello I am from Bulgaria and today I went through all the stores in my city, and there was no Xperia V anywhere, just T.

When I asked in the last shop, they told me that the Xperia V had some problems, that many customers had with their devices, and had to wait for long repair...

So my question is, are there really problems with the Xperia V? And why they don't sell it anywhere? I would've settled with the T but it had too low loudspeaker performance, and the shape and design is just crappy to me...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vonotny:
I bought my V here in Germany and didn't have any issues at all. The "Sleep-Of-Death" issue seems to have been solved in the latest firmware. Mine also has the good screen with great colors and contrast. Some people report that the flaps for the USB and headphone plug get loose over time. I try not to use mine too often. I've got the DK25 dock and just ordered the SBH20 bluetooth headset.

So, no complaints here. Great phone. Great size. Great performance. Great call and sound quality. LTE + waterproof + HD screen. I'd wholeheartedly recommend it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sartheris:
What about the loudspeaker, is it loud enough? Because on Xperia T it was very quiet...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vonotny:
It's loud enough for my taste. But I guess it depends on what you expect. I have no way of comparing it to the T.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianmay.dev:
Hello friends, I'm new on this forum. I started developing on android. I'd like to know how to choose next song on the music player from my application. I want that my application change the current song, or pause no matter what music player I am using. Any idea?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guitarman:
Maybe dissect whatever music player source code to find out how exactely they are changing songs, pause etc from inside itself and try to implement that same function from your code. I don't know much about Java (I'm a Python nut) but I assume you are using Java for your program and most apps are Java.

Maybe you could "import" (or whatever the Java term is for importing a pre-existing class) from the music player apps and use them in conjunction with your code. I'm also new to Android developement but I use Python :)

This one is a doozy guys. Hope you can help.

First things first. I have been trying to find a way to stream launch.com on my pocket pc using my t-mobile gprs internet connection. The included browser as well as a few others I have tried do not support launch's flash/java player application which allows you to rate music.

My next step was to try using windows media encoder to stream the stream to my pocket pc at various bitrates. Obviously, I would lose the power to control the ratings and fast forward, but that's a price I am willing to pay. No dice.

Here's where you come in. I know there are a lot of experts here. Make me proud!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Rudegar:
Gprs is not very fast i doubt that you could get even 32K/sec audio

fine ^^

flash kdz via kdz flash tool (tutorial is on sticky in general), root, install rom manager, install latest cwm, download cm and install it from cwm.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] joelbm00:
Possible solution

I was getting the same error while trying to install CM and I tried this (Used google), that worked for me.

You do this with 7-Zip/WinRAR

Note: DO NOT EXTRACT ROM!

In the ROM go to:

/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

1)Open updater-script with a script editor such as notepad/notepad++ (makes things 10x easier), or gedit if you use linux

2)Delete the first line of code (all the way up to the first semicolon you see) and delete the first semi-colon as well

Do not go past the first semicolon when deleteing and DO NOT forget to delete the first semicolon.

Cheers!

Now please stop posting this problem on everyone's ICS ROMs.....

Someone make this a sticky please
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SnXo:
Bootloader flash dosnt work on ics.. You have to flash first the v20a again.. then bootloader unlock like the explanations here on generaly section.. Then flash the bootloader at fastboot or u install the rommanager app from playstore and let the app this work do.

Either way, its more important where you bought it, not its appearance. If its ebay then thats an immediate red flag.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Use h2testw.exe to test the card on windows. You probably need a card reader / phone that has usb mass storage mode.

This will tell you if its fake / faulty.

Essentially, fake cards are smaller (cheaper) but programmed to look bigger, so when you hit its true capacity, it starts over writing the older files.... hence these issues.

So sad story

Long story short,i broke my nexus's screen.Walking on the street,and bumped into a metal cone. it broke,but my phone is completely dead,but the battery was empty.the problem is,when i got home,i plugged it in,left it about half an hour,and when i tried to turn it on it didn't show any signs of life (vibration,etc..). i i dissasembled it and looked at the motherboard,and everything was ok,and no pins were unplugged.Assembled it again,and still nothing. so i dont know what could be the problem. and if anyone had similar problems and can tell me anything,i would appreciate it,cuz now i have to live with a sh*tty xperia x8. thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
The impact seems to have damaged more than just the screen. Since there is absolutely no sign of life in the phone your choices fall down to repairing (probably not cost effective) or scrapping the phone.

I think the problem is somewhere else,in the battery connectors. I left the phone charging all day,and the battery was cool,but the rest of the phone was hot. I dont know...also,i think my power button dislocated.

Taking Hardware,Display and Design into consideration the Galaxy S4 was considered 244% Superior than the iPhone 5.

The iPhone 5S should be allot closer though
[Galaxy S 4 General] megagodx:
How can they list aluminum as a pro to the iPhone 5's line up of features? The build material is merely subjective, as far as likability goes on. It makes no difference from a functional standpoint. There are plenty of quality control issues that come with the metal casing on the iPhone. It's extremely scratch-prone and is far more likely to chip or face indentation upon any sort of impact on a ridged or rough surface, like cement.
