I installed Dolphin Browser on my phone a few days ago because I love the browser but I noticed my data went up a lot quicker than it ever has. Luckily I have Unlimited data but it's currently at 11GB. Dolphin Browser used 7.34GB while in the Background which is odd. I noticed the problem when I would leave my phone on over night at 70% and wake up to a very low battery or a dead phone.

It's the best browser I've ever used but I don't know what would cause Dolphin to use that much data. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pierrekid:
Why not just use the stock browser? Or at least Chrome? I haven't used Dolphin since the Moto Cliq lol. It's definitely not one of the better browsers, especially on the note 2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tony yayo:
I seem to remember Dolphin doing the same things on my Vibrant and haven't bothered with it since. Definitely try another browser. The others don't have that problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhilipTD:
It's definitely a hog, but I can't do without it. I keep it frozen (along with most of my apps) when not using it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] OmmNomNom:
Because it has all the add on capability so it's constantly on to search for update and stuff

Boat browser is a good one. .

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lereddit:
7 GB on background, lol. You definitely have a virus sending network attacks or you leave videos buffering in the background. Is one or the other no buts.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] erica_renee:
Its not a virus.. Well unless you consider The Browser itself a virus.Its not but it does come close.Look at the permissions on dolphin browser. I once seen a article how it pushes adds to the browser in the back ground and Makes clicks on your behalf to pay the developer money .

I have not tried using it in a Long time like many above its definitely malware.

Just my thoughts
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] str8killinya:
any phone I've ever had has ran like crap the day after I installed dolphin so I agree also with above its may have been good once but now it's just a system slower and I guess a data killer too so hey Dolphin browser is a double threat :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lereddit:
For it to use 7gb on background is had to do a lot more than push ads. Anyway i used Dolphin on every phone and never had a problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] republicano:
i dont mean to bump an old thread, but i have just found this out today, i have adblock plus and have been using dolphin when not on wifi for the last 2 days, i have been letting the device sleep with it running in the background and i have checked today and have used my data for this month aswell as gone over $7, 250mb and 160mb today,

i dont know what it has been doing while its asleep, today i checked and it was at 160mb remaining then 1 hour later i got a message about nearly going over my cap 10mb remaining then when i checked it had gone past that.

its definitely spyware because why else would it be doing while idling no webpages open, i dont use its addons just stock without its ux improvement program, no dolphin connect either, i didnt block its privileges via pdroid unfortunately

if you read their privacy policy it could of drained it through, update service and push notifications as well as the other ones listed below,

dolphin engine beta, may use the information without your permission, if you disagree please do not use the application

i do use other browsers without issues opera,stock, i just wished i saw this thread earlier, time to remove it

other than the security flaw 2 years back there must be something else its sending back to its server

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] BACARDILIMON:
I use boat browser and no issues. Dolphin always gave me issues so I left it and never looked back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Godyn:
It's definitely also my favorite browser !

Why?

- fast

- displays Facebook very nice

- javascripting, html5 works

- youtube works fine

- handy settings sync

I'm using Maxthon also, which might compete.

I've tried others such as Boat but it didn't suit me.

Pitty Opera has become so bad in displaying webpages.

So I discovered the same problem here via data usage app.

IMO it's facebook that's connecting all the time?

They only way is to shut down the browser every time?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Brew78:
Came across this thread doing a google search for other people noticing battery drain with Dolphin.

I've never noticed any unusual data usage, but I wonder if that's related to automatic updating. I have my phone and tablet set to only update when on WiFi and I'm on WiFi quite often.

I have recently noticed a ton of battery drain though, especially on the tablet. Took me awhile to figure out which app(s) might be responsible, but I found that when issuing a Force Stop after finishing with Dolphin, my battery tends to level off. Once I exit the browser, its not listed as running in the app killer that I have, but from the App manager the Force Stop option is available, so I guess its still running after all.

Attached is a photo showing normal battery levels to the left, then the sudden battery drain next to it. Then the battery charging and continued excessive drain once unplugged, followed by the battery leveling off when killing everything I found running in the OS (not specifically Dolphin by itself). After this though, I routinely FS Dolphin after using it and the battery's been behaving much more normally.

Its a pain, but it just runs so much better than other browsers I've used..

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WaryLouka:
So, i want to connect my Tab 2 7.0 to my computer in recovery. ( I am on TWRP 2.1.4 )

It's connected and charging, but somehow this:

and this:

My computer does detect it, and my drivers are working perfectly. Lastest version even. I did reinstall + reboot in case.

I'd like to see if there is any way to connect my tab to my computer so i can access "/sdcard" or, if i can't, just ADB?

Any help will be appreciated. Sorry for the couple of threads i made, but i need help and i am not genius as everyone is here. ;)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WaryLouka:
Nevermind. Did flashed to Stock. Moderators close this thread if possible.

Haha, glad to hear it.I've been watching your threads to see if made it. I would of spoke up, but i didn't have any ideas.
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] Robi959:
If anyone want to have auto brightness, install Lux Auto Brigthess and then use this setting for luma sensor:

Maybe thoose values can be better, experiment if you have better values and post here ;) Im using this app for 3 weak for now and it works so nice. Battery time is still great.

Here is how to do this:

-download it from google

-go to Lux settings

-click on Sample Collection

-click on Light reading modes

-select Camera instead of Light sensor

-select Front camera (it's obvious that its better than rear camera for this purpose)

-Now, from main screen of settings, click on Modify Linked Samples

from top, click on Luma (this app uses Lux for sensor readings and Luma for camera readings)

-then you can see app reads ambient light value from camera and displays at top.

Now the app should do its job, but you may want to check other settings to match your preferences.
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] AssToast:
Would work great for those who wants auto brightness until someones make a kernel with auto brightness enabled :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] Robi959:
Yes it's great for replacement :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] sosznik:
:D it's nice. It's shame that Samsung give i9070 auto light sensor and i8190 doesnt have ...NICE work
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] ghockx:
Sounds great but Google Play says my device is not compatible (duh) and therefor doesn't allow me to download it. Any advice?
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] AssToast:
I8190 does have light sensor but its not enabled in the kernel
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] sosznik:
I9070 pulled yesterday and from what I saw in the front panel has three holes for sensors and mini has 2 ... and in fact after dismantling the phone could see three sensors. Mini has not disassembled yet . I wonder what would have had to upload the kernel of I9070 to i8190 : P
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] ghockx:
Okay, I managed to get it installed on my device. I used Market Helper which you can download here. Just run it and select HTC One X+ (the others won't work). Open the link to Google Dashboard and your done! Open the Play Store app and search for Lux.

:p

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

Unfortunately the Free version doesn't support the use of the front camera as light sensor. So make sure you get the Full version, which will set you back € 2,33.
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] Robi959:
Just download it from google ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] Olivier V:
I found something that might be usefull, it's about our phone's lightsensor. It is listed in these specs

[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] mkruseonline:
Hm, at the end of that Document is written GPS supported -> NO. If I think about this, I think it's not usefull ...
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] oldslowdiver:
It is finally compatible with S3 mini. Just bought it yesterday, works great!
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] schismata:
It works so good that you will forget you dont have native light sensor
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] exwan:
Thx man. Looks awesome. Will try when i reach home.
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] 1Speede1:
It work on cm 10.2 ? and how about battery drain
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] JackoMJ:
yes it works on cm10.2 and there is NO battery drain (i use it for months and on many ROMs)
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] _nEoN_:
I have a issue on the 1st value i can only put 4% min. Does not allowed me to set to 1%
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] koerner367:
Works great. I use it on Maclaws 10.2. I can see no battery drain.
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] marmelada:
I also haven't noticed any battery drain. Also you can set sub-zero values during nighttime, which is great if you want to check something and be blinded by brightness. :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] 4everAnoob:
I would like to say thanks for pointing out this fantastic app which is working very well for me so far!

This is how I have configured the app which works great:

LUMA BRIGHTNESS

1 -20%

100 15%

200 50%

255 100%

This is very conservative brightness setting however it is very readible in every situation and is nice and dark at night and hopefully should be very energy efficient!

All the other default settings work fine, I think it is best to leave permament notification on as changing the brightness with the slider with the setting off causes lux to stop working.

---------- Post added at 12:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------

I have noticed this too and it doesnt drain battery because in the lux lite version it only sets auto brightness when unlocking the screen, after that the app does not use the camera anymore so it only costs tiny bit of battery for 2 seconds or so.

---------- Post added at 12:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 PM ----------

In the (advanced) settings there should be an option minimum brightness threshold or something similar which allows you to change the minimum value.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] apkreview4u:
Hey Guys,

I just flashed the MIUI expresion Rom on my G fit.I am trying to get my contacts back.But when i open the .vcf file it says it couldn't import vcard?,.What must be the problem?..Any solution

PLease help.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Rohit02:
Go in contacts>settings(press menu button)>click import from sd card. It should automatically select the vcard. If you have two v cards then select the latest. :)

If still the problem persist trying flashing another rom. :) or reflash it again

Edit : Keep your contacts synced with google account, you wont get such problems henceforth. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] apkreview4u:
I tried that but it says Couldn't Import vcard The format is not supported.I'llt try flashing it again.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] LeBoy:
I'm on MIUI V5 and now suddenly I cannot import my vCard files anymore - <Couldn't import vCard.> With a previous of MIUI it always worked without problems. Yesterday I spent quite some time trying to figure it out and I suspect that Android 4.2.2 has some incompatibility issues with vCard format 3.0. As far as I could test if one uses VCF files in format 2.1 or earlier the MIUI import would complete successfully. My problem right now is that all my vCards are in format 3.0 and so far I couldn't find any converter software that can downgrade them for me without data loss :(

I really need this feature because I want to keep all my contacts only locally and not synched to any Cloud service. Did you get any far with your problem? Any information you'd like to share?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] LeBoy:
UPDATE: I spent again a lot of time playing with my vCard 3.0 files yesterday and I finally found a way to format them in a way that MIUI accepts them as contact imports without errors. By using a text editor - UltraEdit, and some simple JavaScript scripts to batch process all my 434 contact entries I basically made the following 4 adjustments:

- Remove all unnecessary entries included by my proprietary contact application - Lotus Notes

- Include a line breaks before the "PHOTO" line

- Remove all line breaks that occurred when a entry value was too long and broken into multiple lines

- Remove all semi-colons in the "ADR" line

I hope this helps!

Quick question. Is it possible to build a ROM using a chrome book running Ubuntu?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Which chromebook do you have? Unless you have the chromebook pixel I wouldn't recommend it due to the computing power necessary to compile from source. However any x86 based chromebook would work even the ARM based ones with the proper cross compiler would work. Overall, yes it possible provided you have the proper packages and complier installed with Ubuntu.

Today and yesterday I taught to the way of making a new music player because there are a lot of music player today and a lot of them are based on Apollo which is good but I'm not a big fan of it. But the biggest problem to me is that I'm not a developer, I don't know how to make an app so I thought you could help me.

I did some hand made mockup (I don't even know to do a mockup on my computer ^^). I hope you'll understand everything I've written, if you don't let me know.

View attachment 1967856

The app I imagined is very googlish in its style, it uses all JB style and color, it's also very colorful and I thought that color is something very important in the way you use the app as it's faster to see the color than reading the title of the playlist or of the library. It is simple to use to me but I have some idea in mind to make listening music better but as I told you I am not able to make any app (apart a little hello world ^^) and tell me if all of this is even possible to do :)

Tell me what you think about that, if it's seams to you the best music player or if there any thing to change. I'm open to all ideas :)

So if there is any dev interested in making a such app let me know.

Edit: I just noticed that the provided picture are not in good quality, I'm reuploading them on Google drive with His-res

We could try to work something out. I have a very tight schedule so if I were to take this on it'd that a while.

Thanks for your purpose :)

What do you think of the project ?

But if you don't really have the time now you could help in a further phase of dev if any other is ready to do it.

NP. I could set it up, maybe do everything but framework implementing, overall it is a sweet idea. I like the simple UI and the buttons. I can put together either the framework or the basic app design.

RE: [Project/ldea] A new Music Player

If you have no dev skills but you have an eye for design you should probably look here. Collaborations like this have been made in the past, for example BlackBearBlanc designed Deer Reader whilst a developer put it together. I'll watch this space though ;)

Have you ever noticed the new Play Music app? It's really similar to your mockup..

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Colonel Klink:
Hi there guys, its been a while since posting but I have some great news regarding using multiple bluetooth devices in the car.

A few weeks ago I purchased a Navman 4410 GPS unit for my XDAII. With the new "72" rom the Navman worked perfectly with my XDAII straight out of the box over bluetooth.

Today I installed a Sony Ericsson HBC-30 bluetooth hands free carkit (Which also worked perfectly out of the box). I was interested to know if I could have the GPS unit operating and have the handsfree carkit working at the same time.

I was simply sitting in the carpark, with the GPS connected and onscreen, then I used my other phone to call my XDAII... the call came up on screen (interrupting the GPS screen) I pressed the "answer" button on the Sony Ericsson handsfree kit, and the call came through perfectly!

Once finished with the call I pressed the "hangup" button on the handsfree kit, and then a few quick taps on the screen returned me to the GPS navigation screen.

Certainly not perfect, however it appears that the bluetooth issues are finally getting resolved, and allowing us to begin using the XDAII as it was intended.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] monster:
Hi Colonel, thanks for your update, it is comforting to know that they are finally sorting out BT problems.

Is there any way to get the phone screen to automatically close after finishing a call? so I don't have to manually close it to get back to my GPS screen?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Colonel Klink:
No I dont think you can. Not without altering the GPS software to continually make sure its "on top" of other windows... but then you'd have a problem with seeing the "incoming call screen" as the GPS software would try to jump on top of it.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] asci:
I'd be so happy simply if I could make HCB30 and Blutrek G2 headset work side by side on my Qtek... :(
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] alecxda:
points are:

1-where coul i get that da***n 1.72 rom for my xda 2

2-where could i get the g2 HS in italy(even worlwide...) or all over the web at reasonable price

help a newbie... :oops:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] edsub:
Kolonel,

I can confirm your experience as far as BT GPS is concerned.

I however still have one issue to solve: When the MDAII (=XDA2) can't connect to the GPS (BT off, GPS off, GPS out of reach) and I start TomTom3, TomTom3 keeps searching for the GPS which results in a almost freezing MDA2.

Using rom 1,72 from Qtek I bonded the BT GPS and confirmed the question about assigning a com port.

In TomTom I assigned this (COM5) com port.

All works fine except for the issue mentioned.

Does this sound familiar?

Clues?

BTW in the BT settings screen there is nothing shown about the assigned com port (just free space next to the two lines that should indicate the in- and outbound com ports). I found COM5 to be assigned to BT by trial and error . . .
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Colonel Klink:
edsub,

Are you using "Bluetooth Tools"? Because I am not, i'm using the native bluetooth stack only.

I am using "Outbound" Com port 5 ONLY for my GPS. My 1.72 rom is the IMATE rom.

Im afraid that i'm not familiar with tomtom. So I cant help you there, sorry.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] edsub:
I am deliberately only using native MS bT stack.

I am only using COM5 for GPS too

What does the BT Settings show under

"Bluetooth Serial Port Setup"?

With me:

"Outbound COM port" checked, but after the colon is a "<not present>" shown.

"Inbound COM port" UNchecked, after the colon is a grayed-out "<not present>" shown.

Like i said I AM able to use the GPS via COM5.

Maybe this issue is a pure TomTom issue, I think your answer could clarify that.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Colonel Klink:
Edsub, thats really weird... mine is:

"Inbound COM port:" UN checked, and after the colon is a grayed out "COM4"

"Outbound COM port:" checked, and after the colon is a black "COM5"

bluetooth

hi guys

im using imate 172 and tomtom 3 with a sony ericsson hb35 it works first time all the time with the standard stack. it works that good i even went and sold my carkit and just got a hold instead :lol:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] edsub:
@Kolonel Klink: I guessed it's strange. What ROM are you using exactly (OS & Extended).

I use the 1.72 Qtek rom with my own Extended Rom (wich is based on the Qtek ExtRom to which I added T-Mobile Nl customisations). I am sure there is nothing regarding Bluetooth in my ExtRom.

I heard from someone who uses the iMate 1.72 OS Rom (with his own cooked ExtRom) that he has the same results as you have.

Just trying to find to cause of this. Maybe I have to reflash to the iMate 1.72?? (shouldnt make a difference as both iMate and Qtek OS ROM's are the same 1.72.00WWE . . . .)

@freelockuk: Most interesting is the origin of your ExtRom. Arent there any Bluetooth enhancements in that ExtRom (like there were in the 1.60.36 T-Mobile NL ExtRom) that maybe make your 1.72 work better than mine concerning Bluetooth?
