Firefox Beta ...... I find it much quicker and stable than the non beta version. Flash works the best on this browser and I already use FF on my PC and Mac, so I'm able sync.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] weezlerox:
I use Chrome on my laptop and Nexus 7, phone also has Dolphin and Photon on it, plus whatever the default is (doesn't look like Chrome but sometimes works faster), anybody got any feedback about recent Opera builds?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] AssailantLF@gmail.com:
Chrome is great if you use synced tabs/bookmarks, but other than that it has all these weird formatting quirks with text resizing and stuff.

Dolphin doesn't have any of those formatting problems, so web pages actually look like they're supposed to and I feel like Dolphin is a contender for fastest browser in KitKat.

Basically, I mostly use Chrome just for tab/bookmark convenience, but Dolphin is better in every other aspect and is my second goto. Plus it actually has flash support in KK (with a modified flash apk)

[PRIVACY] WARNING: Dolphin's collection of your browsing history

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1319529

Dolphin / Boat / UC Browser / Maxthon / most Android browsers are wasting your battery power, bandwidth, and CPU cycles as they collect data on you.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] aminaked:
Here is an APK analysis of Maxthon:

http://mobilesandbox.org/xml_report_static/?q=358104

android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED [run on boot]

android.permission.GET_TASKS [get running tasks]

android.permission.READ_CONTACTS

android/telephony/TelephonyManager;->getDeviceId [used to identify you for tracking]

Cipher(AES/ECB/NoPadding) [used to encrypt data to be phoned home]

HttpPost [used to phone home data]

A web browser does not need any of these calls/permissions and should not be using them.

Next Browser is another piece of garbage that someone recently mentioned. Have a look at the APK analysis:

http://mobilesandbox.org/xml_report_static/?q=357097

android.permission.READ_LOGS [basically no app should do this as logs contain all kinds of information]

You can opt out of data collection right? And you can also use app ops to deny those permissions if rooted
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] aminaked:
You would have to ask the manufacturers of those browsers if you can opt out of data collection.

Regarding AppOps, you would have to disable the internet privilege to be sure that your data was safe. Why use spyware in the first place?

If you use multiple platforms like I do, the only answer is chrome. Firefox needs to dump Gecko, it's WAY too slow. The only platform Chrome doesn't run on is Windows Phone, and that will probably change soon when Windows RT and Phone merge completely later this year.

If you want features, Dolphin is the best. Due to its addons. I miss the reader feature in ipad. But dolphin's reader addon is great. Has addons like web to pdf, pocket, translate...

It is not as fast as aosp browser. But both these browsers' desktop mode is flawed. If i view american express credit card's desktop site, only chrome gets it correct.

Havent tried firefox and chrome beta. Tried boat, xscope and opera.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] IcedDog:
I've always preferred Chrome/Chrome Beta. Part of the reason is convenience as I use Chrome as my desktop browser, so my bookmarks are always synced to my tablet...but it also performs well and displays some sites better in relation to other browsers.

[Nokia Lumia 920] FlashTek95:
Hello.

I have recently bought a Lumia 920. The network operator is printed as "Sw variant Adriatic CV v511.01". As I am a German, and I bought it in a German shop, I would like to flash it, to become a unbranded 'German' version as I fear updates for this region will appear faster than in the current one. Also I would like to use the newest available OS version. Now here is my real question: What should I do now, and how should I do it? I am very new to the WP8 Nokias, as I only had a HTC WP7 device before. Therefore I am really looking forward to detailed answers to help me;)

I attached two screenshots with my system information.

Thanks in anticipation,

Hello guys i just wanna have solution abt min frequency keep coming back to 1500 i cant set it to 102 ...is it a bug ? Im on iodak v7 kernel
[LG Optimus 4X HD] noppoer2:
I have the same it says it comr back but it really is 100mhz you can see it bij trickstermod info :D
[LG Optimus 4X HD] UsernameWasTaken:
I don't recommend using trickstermod, cause of very fast battery draining (paradoxal, I know). I had it set to 860 mhz max and 102 mhz min, all 4 cores, and in pure stand-by mode it drained 15-20% of batt with everything off, checked and re-checked, in around an hour or less. Devs' explanation was that the SoC probably kept the CPU at that max set frequency all the time. But... shouldn't TM control the frequencies? Isn't that what it's for?
[Shield Q&A] HobsonA:
It's exciting to see that people have streamed everything from supported games to unsupported games and even PS2 and GC emulators. I have yet to see any mention of streaming something like KMPlayer.

My question is can you do it in some way? I have a very extensive multiple TB collection of all sorts of videos and media, and yes I know I can always transfer things to SD card etc to watch on the shield but the ability to just be able to load up anything anywhere (Thanks to the people that setup instructions to be on outside networks over VPN) and watch my movies with no hassle or even connect it to other peoples TVs would be amazing to me.

In the past I've tried this several different ways but it was never fast enough and even when it was sometimes Soft subs wouldn't work and a no stress solution to that may be possible with the shield.
[Shield Q&A] intensional:
I haven't tried streaming any media players, but I have a feeling that the controls might present a challenge.

I installed Plex last though and was very impressed. I already had a Plex server running on my Synology NAS, though, so no server setup was necessary.

Plex allows you to stream local or remotely if you set up a myPlex account. If you have the PlexPass as well, you can sync shows to microSD to watch offline.

[Shield Q&A] HobsonA:
Well my shield should be arriving Tuesday which I'm extremely excited for. Tried XBMC on my computer and love it not sure why I've never tried this before.

Here's to hoping the audio sync is good when connecting remotely :)
[Shield Q&A] xtrememorph:
Try Dice Player, it has SAMBA support, so just need to enter network path and password and you good to go.
[Shield Q&A] HobsonA:
I just got my shield and I tried out XBMC I'm not sure if its supposed to be this way but the controller doesn't work with the program and audio isn't being transferred to my shield.

Another problem I have with regular streaming is there seems to be a slight audio delay and I am running the latest shield update (51 i think)
