I prefer using IE and Opera. I have tried Netfront few times, but it just doesn't work. Just exits itself upon start up, so no idea how Netfront even looks alike.

I've noticed that some pages works better with IE and others with Opera, so that's why I use two different browsers. However, there are few pages where neither of my browsers work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Menneisyys:
You don't lose much - the Opera Mobile + PIE + PIEPlus 2.2 + Macromedia Flash + Creme JVM is a much better combo.

Could you please provide some URL's? I'll file in a bug report for Microsoft after some research.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] goestoeleven:
I find PIE and PIEPlus 2.2 to be the best lightweight, overall combination that enables tabbed browsing.

I also tried the tabbed browser feature from PocketPlus, which I personally didn't care for (I like being able to see the "tabs").

I've found NetFront to be a bit too resource intensive, but I give the gang from Japan an "A for effort" on a full-featured app!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] g00nerz:
I use PIE and MultiIE at the moment. Not a bad combo, but won't render certain websites properly - in particular some website discussion forums.

I've tried Opera and recently Netfront 3.3. Opera is a bit poor and resource intensive, and Netfront was just unusable for me - very slow to download websites, if at all. Might give PIEPlus 2.2 a go tonight.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Menneisyys:
Yup, PIEPlus 2.2 is certainly worth it - it's better than the current version of MultiIE. See http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1170&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 for a complete comparison & review.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] PPCNUT:
I not to sure it only asks when I start the program and I just say yes allow it to access the internet and it is fine.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Menneisyys:
Are you using it with the built-in Intent Midlet Manager or with J9 6.1? In both cases, just answer Yes once and it won't ask any more.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Dillsnik:
Anyone know if any of these browser options mentioned support left-handed scrolling bar?

Also, on a different note, i am using regular PIE, i have had trouble logging in to some sites, anad then staying logged in. Ex: Howard forums i keep logging in and it keeps telling me i am not logged in. I'd written a message three times before i gave up in frustration!

OMG!

From the website:

What is Minimo?

The Minimo has been focused on code-size and runtime footprint reduction...

From the install screen:

Instalation space needed - 8300 bytes (8.3 megs)

What isn't considered a small footprint?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Menneisyys:
It's still better than in initial versions (over 10M footprint) :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] starfish_001:
I have been asking myself this same question.

I have concluded Netfornt or Opera - but I have found opera 8.6 unstable is this normal
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Menneisyys:
Well, depends. I've never had any problems with the Web sites I frequent. With which Web sites did you encounter problems?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] starfish_001:
Opera did not like Wildersecurity forums not really a big test.

After installing Netfront I now have a long boot delay that persists even though I have removed it now. Not sure how to fix this apart from restoring ...

So at the moment opera is my favourite ....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dude64:
In my experience opera mini is a wonderful browser. The older version did not work that well with intent but the latest one works just fine except the rss reader. I keep getting some weird error. If you are big on that use it with J9. Has anyone tried speed testing on the mini, I get unstable/too fast a result with 1mb file on edge, and the pages load up just as fast.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Menneisyys:
Yup, it's very fast as it uses a central communication / stripping / compression service.

The should've just ported a version of Netscape 1.0. From what I remember, that thing was about a meg, if not less :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lacroixdp:
Netfront IMHO was horrible... it was a pig and didn't render sites properly. Minimo was a pig too... both in size and CPU usage. Opera was iffy... it was faster than either of those, but it seemed slow to me too. IE is pretty slow, but at least all my websites load up properly with it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] padlad:
Do your soft keys work for the 'Menu' and 'Back' options when using Opera mini?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] TheHawks:
opera mini very fast browser but still did not like it

Opera 8.60 much better layout easy to use

minimo like the the layout load time is to slow in time it would probably be the best browser but for now Opera 8.60
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] franklane:
Opera 8.6 using cingular 8525 took a lot of memory. I got low memory errors while trying to open it. I used memmaid to clear my ram and was able to open opera again. I then deleted opera, used IE with PIE plus and have never received this error. Maybe my machine but removing it got rid of the problem.

Netfront has my vote!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] CJBS:
Opera Mini's the way to go - so fast. I can use GMail's standard HTML version to access mail over GPRS, and it's super fast. Further, given that it all goes through a proxy, even though I'm in Hong Kong, and can't access google.com / gmail.com etc. through a direct connection due to the Taiwan earthquake breaking under-sea fibre optic cables (using PIE, Opera or even my PC), Opera Mini continues to deliver the goods - at speed! [The only thing I don't like about it is that I can't copy or paste using the Java Midlet App on the Blue Angel]
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] silent_killa:
I use IE and Opera 8.6.

It seems though that Opera uses a lot of system resources. I cant run Windows Media player (playing a 3gp) and Opera at the same time. *****es about memory, which is weird because my system information says I have nearly 20MB free. Maybe a bug.

They don't on the "hi-fi" mini v3.0.

But i had installed the lo-fi ver2 earlier and the softkeys worked fine with that. in fact, there wasn't even a skin, so screen usage was maximum.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] princeasi:
I use all 3 browsers, netfront, opera mini, PIE. I find myself opening netfront most of the time(althought its kinda slow), because its the closest to pc internet browing. I use PIE for orb when i wanna open up streaming files because NF is not capable of that yet. I use opera mini when i wanna do quick browsing because its lightning fast. It did have potentials of being my browser of preference but i notice that it would cut out some frames whenever i myspaced! I've tried using PIE plus but it just didnt cut it for me. I had a hard time accessing orb, myspace, and other sites that i would normally have no problem with using the other 2, so it was canned! To conclude, NF is my favorite!

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] openletter:
I just made the switch from BlackBerry to Android and the Relay seems like a good fit for me since I really can't stand touchscreen keyboards. I already unlocked the phone per the forum sticky since I'm on AT&T and it was a priority.

I *think* I want to install Cyanogenmod 10.2 (I'm a fan of using stable builds). When I look over the installation instructions, I'm a bit cornfused on step one:

There is an Important Note instructing users to install bootloader and radio firmware. How do I do that? The zip files it links to don't include any instructions or links to any instructions.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
It pretty much means update to the latest ota available...which is T699UVBMC5 if you don't you'll have issues with signal and such...last I heard 10.2 had very rapid battery drain and stability issues but its possible they may be fixed but idk...most stable would be cm11 in terms of cyanogenmod but all my users say my latest carbon ROM is the most stable ROM available for relay as they go back to that if any issues arise in my other ROMs or teamapexq roms. Liquidsmooth ROM that I have has a lot of tweaks and mods and is fast and smooth...it gets updated the most as it is official and there is an ota within the ROM that whenever I release you can update it straight from phone without really having to do anything
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] openletter:
I'm having a hard time finding an install guide for anything other than CM. For carbon, I'm guessing it's located at vp-zp.com/snuzzo/roms/carbonrom/apexqtmo/kk/ ? Even that I got from googling and then backtracking links from a blog post, as the carbon webpage doesn't seem to have a Relay ROM listed.

To be honest, as a total n00b at this, I'm having a hard time pulling all the pieces together to understand the various different abbreviations, projects, download sources, etc. My goal is simply a nice stable build that is maintained, updated to support major features, but without adding issues, such you as mentioned there may be battery life issues in CM.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Gibson99:
i've been running the M7 snapshot of CM11 for about a month now. my only complaint about battery isn't really the rom's fault - if i'm watching a lot of netflix or youtube, the battery goes down faster. that's not really a surprise though.

i'm still pretty new to the relay though i've had a couple other androids before this one. but i suggest you use TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) instead of CWM (clockworkmod) for your recovery. it's got a gui and is a bit easier to use when flashing roms and doing wipes and stuff.

bsically the process is to boot your phone into download mode, flash twrp, then reboot the phone into twrp, wipe everything, then flash CM and gapps (if you want google apps like gmail, play store, etc). then wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset (because some roms are unstable if you simply flash without doing the second wipe). no need to try to inject SU (superuser) or anything since pretty much all custom roms are already rooted. there are other posts that go into more detail but this should about cover it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] openletter:
Where can I download TWRP for the Relay?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Gibson99:
search for it in the relay forum - it has its own thread, i think in the dev sub-forum. instructions to install it are the same as cwm, just use the twrp file instead of cwm.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] openletter:
Thanks - I was just discovering that forum when you replied. I had looked right passed it initially since there isn't usually anything for me in dev forums for other projects I use.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Norcalz71:
So this seems to be an issue on my nexus 7 but not my gs4, gs3, touchpad, or atrix. If I click a web link from another app (feedly, email, reddit bacon reader, Tapatalk, etc), the page will open in whatever the last chrome tab I had open was. So if I have three Wikipedia page open and click a hyperlink from email, the last of the wiki page will open the new link I clicked instead of that link opening we In a new, fourth tab. Pottery frustrating as I often have lots of tabs open and don't want one to be over written. Is there some setting somewhere to adjust this behavior? Ideally I want all links fro. Other apps to open in a new browser tab in chrome all the time no exceptions, which is what my gs4 does. Oddly, links from Facebook already always open in new tabs on the nexus though (just want that behavior from all other apps too). Any thoughts

I am just now modding my SGH-I215M - as I have just rooted using CF-Auto root method. Now I am looking to install a recovery and a custom ROM. Before I do that, I wanted to make sure that the SGH-I317 Roms can be flashed on the M variant (Canadian).

Also, for installing a recovery - which version am I to use? the ATT or Canadian (t0ltecan) version? Goo manager said no files were found for my phone :S

You mean i317m right? I dont think there is a phone with the code i215m. In which case the Att ones will work fine. They have identical hardware
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bobiscool07:
Thanks - Yes, that was a typo. Also, since I have updated OTA to 4.4.2, does that mean I have to downgrade my bootloader for ROM like DN3 V5?

I managed to get TWRP working on my phone, so now I should be able to wipe date in recovery and flash any ROM in the AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II Forums?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @rbiter:
Converted to gpe yesterday. Went very smooth. Had to do some workarounds for this, that and the other but finally got happy with the results. Took me longer to tweak gravity box than setting and restoring things to my liking. Finally just tested phone. Was about to ask person on other end how is call quality but they beat me to it. Dude why is it so loud? Compared to sense, I had a couple people comment on how clear call was and I even tested and asked using an air conditioner as example. Right up on it recipient heard it but they said it was hard to tell it was ac unit. Moved 3 feet away and they said it all but gone. Very disappointed. Anybody else having this issue on a gpe or gpe conversion? I think I am going to flash back over this. Hate the dialer anyways and not having a power saving mode. Other small gripes but like I said, figured it out or good workarounds. Miss having text reflow and aosp browser. Loved the inertia of scrolling in sense. Both are equally smooth but I like the way it gradually brakes. Oh well. Anyways, input? Am I missing something? Anyway to enable it? And I still haven't confirmed if HTC is using Qualcomm's fluence, audience or in house/another brand for noise cancelation. Let me know.

sent from my HTC One_M8 using hofo app.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolarTrans:
I've had a similar issue with call quality on my GPE (from the Play Store).

People have said it's kinda hard to hear on normal calls, and with speakerphone it's all garbled and they can't hear a word I say. Little things like this and a lack of 1080p YouTube (only on the GPE mind you, the Sense version gets 1080p fine) make me very disappointed with HTC. Also, I've had this issue through all the updates since 4.4.2 (on 4.4.4 now).

My GPE Galaxy S4 was perfect, and everything worked just as well as it did on the TouchWiz version.

I'm seriously considering going to sense and just sideloading the Google Now launcher, but Android L will come to the GPE so much faster (and hopefully a developer preview).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @rbiter:
I am on the initial release 4.4.2 sense again. My speakerphone and earpiece sounded fine but didn't have the clarity and a couples notches lower sound. And the noise cancelation was a deal breaker. Will probably go back when L comes out. Overall I liked gpe better but sense camera interface was better and it has aosp browser with text reflow. My gnote3 is never getting updated because of text reflow still on 4.3.

sent from my sm-9005.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolarTrans:
Believe it or not, I flashed a Nandroid for untouched 4.4.2 (it's on XDA somewhere :P), and other people have said they can hear me many times better (I can hear them a lot better too).

Very strange, but it worked like that. I'll try to find the link and put it here :)

What is the best I/O scheduler for S5?

I have some troubble transfering big files ~2GB+ from my SD card to my computer using a USB cable. I'm using BFQ or CFQ scheduler, don't remember exactly what one right now..

Transfer just freeze completely for like 20 seconds over and over again until it's done.. Take so much time and it's really annoying.

I think this have to do with a bad I/O scheduler, anyone know what's the best one to use?

I have read some and it seems a lot of I/O schedulers are made for mechanical disks which is a total waste for SD cards.. Therefore I only want schedulers that are optimized for best SD card performance without any interrupts while working with big files.

I have AKU 3.2 installed on my prophet (G4 chip) but wud like to go back to 2.3 ROM which seems more stable.

Main issue with 3.2 ROM were:

a. Battery charging when device is plugged to computer.Sometimes, battery gets charged and sometimes, it doesn't.

b. Sometimes, device is shutdown automatically (typically when device is not used for 3-4 hours)....though it happends very seldom.

Could someone tell me how to do this downgrade ? Does my device needs to be unlocked for this ?

Hello everyone,

I was going for a swim in the pool three days ago and have forgotten to put my Nexus 4 in my duffel bag. The phone was submerge along with my swimming short for over 30 seconds :crying:. I dried off the phone, opened it up to removed the battery, and dried it off with a hair blow dryer for five minutes continuously. Then I put my phone in a bowl of rice. Its been two days hoping that the moisture is gone, I plugged it to a wall charger and have gotten the "blinking red light of death". Next, I removed the battery and charge the phone with out it, giving me a boot loader screen with the green android and the Google logo. But putting the battery back and turning it on only giving me that annoying blinking red light. I hope all the phone component is still good. So at this stage can you guys tell me if the battery is dead and would purchasing a new battery resolve this issue? Any input to resolve this red blinking light would be helpful, thank you for reading.

I'm not sure the battery was hot during the process #7..

I took some old phone charger, cut the two wires apart (the positive and negative), and just made them touch the relevant spots on the battery (no soldering was made).

Did you wait more than 15 minutes during this charging?
