tool?

What tool are you using to decompile, I keep getting brut.android.androlibexception errors.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DjCalvin:
Im with TokedUp on this one.

My MMS works fine as long as I have decent signal.

When i tried it initially, the recipient got the "to view your picture.. go to this url" thing. - Im assuming this was because I had crap signal.

Good find none the less, thank you

As of Android 4 Google has changed the default Webrendering engine from the old AOSP one to the (bad) chromium engine. As a result my favorite Browser the stock AOSP isn't working properly anymore, here is a summery of the browsers I have tested and the problems I had with them:

Chrome: Slow, laggy and worst of all random font size changes within a website, no flash

AOSP Browser on 4.4: Double tap to zoom acting wierd, no textreflow, no browser history tab anymore, force closes, laggier then on Android 4.3 and no flash on 4.4

Dolphin Browser: Laggier compared to 4.3, pinch to zoom not working. No flash on 4.4.

Can you recommend any Browsers that work well with 4.4.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReD_AvEnGeR:

Have you all even tried Chrome? On my N5 there is no lag whatsoever, I am really impressed with the speed. At first I was so like "oh no" but gave it a try and I think Google did it right.

NEXT Browser kills the top of the page where the address bar lies over it, that is a no go.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] om22:

I've used Naked on my N7 for a year or so, and works just as fast (faster) on my N5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan37tz:
Chrome definitely isn't as fluid on the N5 as could be. Which is a real shame because it seems almost out of place, everything else on the N5 is silky smooth, then you open the browser, scroll around and pinch zoom. It feels a little choppy, like everything else is operating at 60fps but the browser is at 15-20fps is the best example I could give.

For those who say it's smooth, go browse the web on an iPhone 5 with Safari or the stock browser on an LG G2. I've used many phones and those two stand out to me as being the absolute benchmark in smoothness.

I think Dophin with Jetpack will be the best browser for the N5 once it becomes fully compatible.

Next browser is also awesome but like someone already stated, the top part of web pages are hidden an cannot be accessed. Probably not fully Kit Kat compatible yet.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sewer56lol:
I agree even myself.

I have absolutely no issues with chrome.

It runs silky smooth at 60fps on my phone like any other browser.

Personally I don't use it though because It does not support flash player which is useful.

Firefox

Dolphin (with Jetpack)

And Next Browser (which I never knew about before this thread)

Are the personal preferred browsers of my choice.

I have to agree. Ive been quite surprised how Chrome is running for me. Not Laggy as in the past. Though no official "Flash", i have been on websites and have been able to play Youtube and even some Vimeo videos str8 in the browser (so I can live without flash for a bit).

Even though i don't like how i can't save pages for offline reading... I might stick with Chrome for now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigitalRPM:
My issue with Chrome is that I can't seem to open pages in anything but 'Page Overview'. It's only a double tap away to zoom in, but it just annoys me to no end that the page opens up with a full page preview rather than a smaller section. Other than that, I've loved Chrome. I've been using Dolphin for ages, but with the recent 4.4 issues that have all but made reading on the net impossible...I've been searching elsewhere.

If text reflow is important to ya, use opera. It's the only browser that will reflow like aosp. You have to double tap to get it to reflow, but at least it will do it, and properly. I still can't believe there isn't a browser out there that does this right. wtf!!

Thanks for the all these suggestions I have tried all of them. The ones I liked were Chrome beta and Opera,

Chrome:

+: smooth, fast, good UI

-: no text reflow, alway reloads the page after minimizing!(WTH?) , no flash

Opera:

+: Text reflow, Speed Dial for webpages

-: gets laggy with several Webpages open, pinch to zoom not as smooth as it should be.

I'm still not satified with the webbrowsing on the Nexus 5, browsing the web on my Nexus 4 (Android 4.3) with AOSP Browser is still a much better experience.

I use Chrome Beta for all my normal browsing but keep Boat Browser around for flash duties. When I installed Boat on my N5, there was a page in the intro that said it has been updated to 4.4 already. While the interface is a little dated, it's impressive how quickly they update.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomedic:
Agreed.

I have generally used AOSP (and occasionally Chrome Beta) on all my Nexus devices. I don't really like how bookmarks and tabs are handled in Chrome, with AOSP being better (especially for 1-handed use). Chrome Beta STILL stutters in pinch to zoom with the N5. Given that AOSP isn't as it was on the N4, I decided to try Dolphin and Jetpack (I can't even remember when I last used that browser), and it's pretty awesome.

Tabs and bookmarks are handled better (imho) and I don't care about syncing or flash (though I believe flash does work). Pinch to zoom is AOSP smooth and scrolling is arguably TOO FAST (some web pages can't draw fast enough).

Some people have mentioned that battery life takes a hit significantly with Jet Pack, but with my (admittedly minimal) testing, I don't notice that. Resources are significantly less as well.

Just wondering... Is it better to have pre-fetch/pre-load webpages always on since this is an LTE device? Is android generally the best user-agent to use? Any other settings that people find enhance the experience?

I don't like browser that do not have an exit button and don't have a home button. Those two reasons are why I don't use Chrome. I had been using Dolphin with the (Xmarks extension, I still use Xmarks on my PCs since it handles bookmarks better than Google Sync and it backs them up) but zooming doesn't seem to work with 4.4 so I switched to Boat for the time being. Seems nice and allows good customization of the buttons or getting rid of the tab bar if you don't want it.

Never heard of Next browser.

Just installed and it's gorgeous!

I have flash installed and it works fine with my long time browser if choice 'Boat Browser'.

Next says it supports it and when opening XDA it has a pop up that says it supports flash and offers to enable it, which I did.

However when I enable, another pop up says some stuff about flash being discontinued and that enabling it will cause Next to crash!

So what is it? Use it or no?

I enabled it and then opened up a YouTube page in Next and tried to open a video and the YouTube video window says flash isn't installed so it can't play the video? But it is installed and opened the same YouTube page in Boat without issue.

I really want to use Next - 10 minutes have convinced me that it's awesome, but it seems to have is arse up inside it's head regarding what it wants to do with flash..... huge fail as I prefer to use the browser for YouTube given past issues with laggy playback via the YouTube app.

I use Chrome but it seems quite buggy on my Nexus 5.

1) attaching files doesn't work, it just says "failed to open file". Wonder if it's a chrome/chromium issue or a kitkat issue with the new file picker.

2) searches don't open up in new tab anymore. When I select a text, and tap the search icon, it opens the Google search results in current window and that's pretty useless.

3) tabs seem to reload frequently after multitasking

I would use Chrome Beta, but from my experience with the nexus 4 it's pretty buggy and unstable. Other browsers are just trash, in terms of both UI and performance. AOSP browser is the only other option for me.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daemonios:
I seriously haven't seen the need to install any other browser on my N5, I just go with the stock Chrome.

I used Chrome Beta on my Transformer Infinity and it became harder and harder to use (last few times I used it the curved tabs were all messed up). Both Beta and official Chrome are *painfully slow* on my tablet, and by that I mean *unusable* for anywhere between 15 seconds and 1 minute after opening the browser. I suspect it's a problem with the Transformer's slow storage and Chrome restoring pages from cache.

On my N5 Chrome is flaming fast. I don't notice choppiness, pages render correctly. Sure it could use some improvements (gestures, anyone?), but as it is, I don't feel the need to change.
