[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
what browser?

try adfree or adaway.

oh, my pages dont reload, ever. unless i reload them. sounds like you either have something installed thats hogging your ram, you have way too many things running in the background hogging your ram, or you have terrible ram management (either you, or a mod).

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

i dont, ever. why do i need an app that drains much battery, when the browser already does xda and does it better?
[Nexus 5 General] polobreaka:
apparently the browser drains battery according to trsix. my tapatalk doesnt drain battery. not sure why it would.

EDIT: I just visit xda site on chrome. I'm not sure how the browser could better than the app. If it was much better then there shouldn't be a reason why xda created an app.
[Nexus 5 General] Aerowinder:
That's an interesting opinion. I always said the same thing, until I tried it. I am genuinely curious, have you tried it lately? The new version is a lot better. To each his own, I guess. I have it hooked into multiple forums... but I only use it for XDA, now.

Although, I can't for the life of me figure out why all links are directed through Tapatalk servers. There is absolutely no technical reason that has to happen. They are simply collecting your data. You tap the link, the link sends you to a redirect (on Tapatalk servers), that then sends you to the appropriate destination. Fishy much? Still not happy about paying for the same app twice (v2 and v4). They have definitely employed some shady tactics over the past few months.

Come to think of it, I'm not sure why I like it so much. Convenience, I guess.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
i dont use chrome, and really dont like it. i use the aosp browser, it looks and feels more like the desktop chrome than the chrome mobile browser, lol. and yea, chrome uses way to much battery. and theres plenty of reason for xda to create an app, its called money.

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

plus there are more options via the browser..
[Nexus 5 General] polobreaka:
to each its own i guess. i dont have to deal with zooming on a browser or tap links to read post. i find the app to be way easier to navigate and organized.

btw, have you even used the xda or tapatalk app?
[Nexus 5 General] ctbear:
Looks way too crowded in my opinion. I read xda and other forums a lot on the bus (where I have to stand and use my phone one-handed), and I would really prefer not to zoom and scroll horizontally at all.

The xda/tapatalk app fits my needs. That or xda really needs to be responsive.
[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
[MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] I know exactly what you are talking about. I have tried Dolphin, 2 different versions of AOSP browser, and Chrome on all 3 versions of KitKat and every single one of them will load a thread section list(ei. Android Development/Nexus 5 General) twice every single time you go to the page. It is by far my biggest peeve with this phone. When you open threads there is no issue but once you go to a thread section...BOOM page loads twice.
[Nexus 5 General] dicecuber:
Isn't chrome a resources hogger?
[Nexus 5 General] lostnuke:
well, i don't feel dirty.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
yea, ive used it before. the thing is, i use the browser for much more than just xda. its easier for me, and saves the resources of having another app(s) running. i dont have to zoom btw, i zoomed out just for the screenshot. what really got me to stay with the browser isnt the xda app, what nailed it for me was facebook, and its notoriously bad app. when i got rid of the facebook app(more than 2.5 years ago), i started noticing my battery life improving. slowly, i moved to using most my social sites via the browser(except twitter and g+). its been since then that i regularly get 4.5-7 sot hours on all my devices since. those apps drain a lot of battery, even when not even using them(facebook). a lot of them are pretty badly written.

---------- Post added at 08:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

chrome is, the aosp browser isnt. chrome will come with the stock or stock based roms. and the aosp browser comes with the aosp it aosp based roms.
[Nexus 5 General] trsix:
wrong answer
[Nexus 5 General] trsix:
yep

But it's not just this phone my evo lte does it also.

Finally get to what you want and resize the page for bigger and yikes even reloads again.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
heres where youre wrong, my browser doesnt reload(again, which browser are you using?) and im not a fanboy(i care not about what phone you or anybody else decides to use, i just dont give a shít). and you have 1.4gb free ram, at boot and after you kill apps, not while your phone is in use. well, unless you are killing apps every few minutes. im not as dumb as you look.

---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------

then it is something that you are doing or are choosing to use.
[Nexus 5 General] trsix:
oops wrong again

never killing any apps.

i do have sync and various google crap turned off though.

1.3 after running 18 hours.

you have a magical phone if xda doesn't reload the pages.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
again, what browser are you using? if its chrome, then many complain about it reloading pages, it beung resource hungry. the aosp browser is fairly lightweight, and not resource hungry. pages dont reload(on low ram phones it reloads pages though). on the nexus 4 it didnt reload pages, and the same on the nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 General] qbanlinxx:
I must also have a magical phone, cause my browser doesn't reload pages on its own.
[Nexus 5 General] luisfam:
I don't think it's the phone or the browser. The reload mentioned in the OP happens on my laptop with Firefox but not on my nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 General] 1stx2:
This. I use chrome on my laptop and xda will reload but on my nexus5 it doesn't.
[Nexus 5 General] bluizzo:
I use chrome beta and haven't experienced pages reloading, both on my N4 and N5. But do agree that chrome and Firefox on the desktop tend to reload. Kinda hate double clicking the back button to get to the previous page
[Nexus 5 General] akash3656:
The crazy reloading happens on Safari on Mac and other browsers on Windows when I press Command+F (or Ctrl+F in non Mac).

But on my phone, it doesn't reload twice or any crap of that sort. 4.3 and 4.4 on my Galaxy Nexus on Chrome or AOSP browser both behave well.

Maybe it does when I use the "Find in Page" option, but I hardly use Chrome/browser for browsing xda.

In ranting words, Chrome is a laggy piece of thrash on the ageing galaxy Nexus. However, I doubt I would use Chrome even on a faster phone like a Nexus 4 or 5.

I feel Google successfully built a FB app that accesses every other web site instead of just Facebook and called it Chrome for Android. Yeap, it is that bad on an older device.
[Nexus 5 General] Hand76:
Same thing happens with me. Using Chrome on Nexus 5 (XDA pages load twice) same thing happened on my last droid with this site and I hate it.

I am using an adblocker could this be the reason why?
[Nexus 5 General] dehsA:
This happens on my phone as well. Also the same happened a while ago on my PC.

I googled this a while back and apparently it's because of AdAway/ABP?

Try disabling it and see if the problem goes away.
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Technically an app has more information client side and a browser will need to download more elements when browsing though most will be cached. Between Tapatalk and Firefox they use about the same miniscule amount for me.
[Nexus 5 General] Natakranta:
AOSP Browser is the king of browsers on Android.

Or it used to be until Google decided to remove in KitKat basic feature (text fellow / text wrapping) from webview, which is being used be Browser (and some alternative browsers on play store) to wrap text after you double tap to zoom. Now you have to be eagle eye to be able to read posts on xda. See screen attached. Issue 62378:	KitKat WebView text wrap no longer works - star it to let Google know you are missing this basic functionality.

Chrome? Chrome was the sole reason I rooted my nexus 4 the very next day I got it just to flash slimbean and get back to AOSP Browser I used to so much on Galaxy Nexus. Imagine my disappointment when I realised that on my name new and shiny Nexus 5 Browser is not working properly. I've been searching since then but I can't find 100% equivalent.

Chrome is slow, resource hungry and make a mess from text, see screen attached, text in quotation box is tiny when text below it in the same post on this very page is huge, user name and page buttons are tiny as well and I still need to pinch to zoom to go to next page.

Dolphin with built in Jetpack since recent update is fast, wraps text after double tap and scales nicely, but when I'm logged in to xda it covers page or part of it with semi transparent grey layer, see screen attached. Funny that this does not appear when I log out. Disabling Jetpack on the other hand disables text wrap as well because Jetpack is a kind of Dolphins own web view built in to the browser. That's why text is being wrapped after double tap to zoom only when Jetpack is enabled in Dolphin. So nice text handling but hard to read these grey letters...

Opera does the job. It wraps text, scales good. Keeps colours, no grey layers. But...

But it lags. It lags as hell. And it drains battery.

It's 2013, end of it actually, and I can't have descent browser which can handle text properly on 5" screen and not lag on a quad core 2.3ghz processor?

Why Google? Why you decided to remove text wrapping functionality from webview castrating it off its basic feature?
[Nexus 5 General] gkillerx:
I got the same "problem" on my laptop has nothing todo with the mobile browser.
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
What i'd like to know is when will they make an XDA app that will actually work??

The previous version worked OK, but had a problem with loading attached pictures and avatars.

The last version keeps reloading posts and has issues of it's own, it gets on your nerves really quickly.

Definitely one of the apps i regret purchasing
[Nexus 5 General] heorung:
I've noticed that xda site only reload when i signed in , when i browse without logged in , it never reload.
[Nexus 5 General] disclaimernotice:
I've got the same problem. Chrome on my Nexus 5 loads the thread lists on xda twice. Basically, it loads the page successfully, and I can even scroll about for a while, but then, about 3 seconds later, it refreshes the page on its own. Why does this happen and can't the xda web people fix this?

Also, while I'm at it, I'm gonna rant on chrome some more. Why on earth did google replace the amazing aosp browser with a leggy browser like chrome?? Coming from a galaxy s3 running 4.1.2, I must say that the chrome browser, and the general switch of 4.4 to the chromium engine, was the biggest drawback of the nexus 5. I could tolerate the lousy camera app before it was updated, but chrome is really lame. Maybe google switched to chrome because it is more efficient at collecting personal data.
[Nexus 5 General] BinkXDA:
I’m running stock with few apps and I have the same issue. In terms of resources required and ads displayed, XDA is one of the worst web-based forums I use—I only use it because it has the best mind share when it comes to mobile devices.

How ironic that the best site for information on mobile devices is also the worst when being viewed from one.
[Nexus 5 General] RTNDO128:
Same issue here running Chrome. Random reloads on here are quite annoying.
[Nexus 5 General] Rokr__:
I think, that is a chrome bug.

[Nexus 5 General] refinition:
Why can't you use tapatalk? You don't lose much in functionality and the load times are fast
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
Agreed. Having used XDA Premium as well as accessing the site from several different browsers, Tapatalk is definitely the way to go.
[Nexus 5 General] frozenhotchocolate:
Compared to my galaxy nexus chrome runs much better on this device. That said, chrome does use more resources than any stock webview browser (aosp, boat, ect). Initially I was pissed as hell that kit kat killed text-reflow in webview as I have grown very much in love with naked browser pro. But at this point most all websites I frequent are mobile optimised so it really makes little difference, with the exception of xda. Taptalk works fine, as I'm not going to use chrome just to go to one site. I just kind of have a hard time understanding how a website which is so incredibly oriented towards mobile phone users doesn't have a mobile version of its site. For now taptalk works fine and is not close to the battery hog chrome is.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dedalospy:
I couldn't find people talking about this:

The update to Android 4.3 has changed the color calibration settings and they are wrong, even in Professional Photo.

I believe the calibration was the one intended for the new 1080p screens wich have other brigthness and different colors.

The result is that skin tones look awfuly orange in many pictures, and cyan and green are horribly oversaturated. Movie mode tones things down but looks totally dull.

Font antialiasing was changed too, probably for better results on the 1080p screens, but in the Note 2's 720p, all fonts now lost fine detail and look "bold" instead of "normal" typeface. That's not due to change in system fonts, it is system wide, web pages with custom fonts, applications etc.

It is a shame because performance wise, the new version seems quite snappy.

If someone knows a mod or something to get back the 4.2 color calibration and alter the antialising settings for fonts, please tell me :good: ;)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sawdoctor:
Try devil's kernel with trickster mod or devils tools app. The kernel has colour calibration, I prefer devils tools but trickster has more colour calibration options

1) XDA2i

2) I-Mat KJam

3) PDA2K

can you please share your experience now which i should buy from above.

2nd can anyone please tell me what Nokia 7710 cant do which PDAs can do. in other words what a PDA has more + points from a smart phone like N7710 or SE P910i etc

my preferences are quick typing over IM and good quality camera.

Please guide , i don’t want to waste more money with in 1 month.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Weirdo:
I have used N7710. Can't say much bad about it actually. It is stable, functions well as a phone but lacks softwares available for it. The camera quality is acceptable becoz i dont' expect my camera to function as my dslr in any case. Apart from it, i know own o2XDAIIs and am quite happy with it. Again, i dont use the camera that often.

GOCLEVER TAB I721

Hi guys. I tried to root this tablet, but I accidentally messed something up and I think it might be bricked. Now I am stuck at the GoClever boot screen. I'm able to get into recovery mode by holding Vol Up + Vol Down + Power, but that's all I can do. There are no suitable roms, recoveries, etc, and I don't have the original firmware.

You need to download Heimdall for the MAC, it has the same capabilities as Odin has.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Honestly ? Given the amount of trouble I've seen people have with Heimdall on here over the past two years, best bit of advice I can given you is to make life easy for yourself & get access to a Windoze machine & use Odin. Otherwise you might end up turning a 5 minute job (tops) into one that takes a lot lot longer (then again, you might not, anyways...).
