Hm, other than Denil Wong (maybe), it seems like all of us so far who have this problem are Rogers contractors.. Do you think it's possible that this problem is related to Rogers? Though I don't see why swapping my simcard from my old rogers phone to a touchpro will suddenly change the TF3D SMS timestamp.

Hi everyone!

I'm new here :)

I'm a computer engineer with not so much android experience, but I've been trying to build some simple apps. I use Windows & Ubuntu.

I found this forum while trying to solve an issue with an old Galaxy S7 I have. Hopefully, I'll find a way to solve it but I believe I'll learn a lot more things here too.

I'm looking through the topics but I'd appreciate if anybody can point me to (hopefully) a topic with the solution, since my issue seems common. I'm stuck in a boot loop, with access to recovery and download mode. I re-flashed FW using Odin (HOME_CSC to keep my files), but still in boot loop. I had USB Debugger mode enabled, but hadn't done rooting. I'm mainly looking for a way to retrieve my files, and if the phone can work too that'd be great.

Thank you all!

I have a Xiaomi watch2 pro, and I can't delete the history of recent calls from the watch...

UPDATE (01/05/2009 3:33 AM CET): I’ve cleaned up the article a little; for example, added a Verdict section. I've also very thoroughly explained the evaluation of the tested browsers largely reflects on how they're able to render text with large(r) characters, NOT the overall rendering fidelity / quality. After all, one of the main aims of this article is explaining which of these browsers can be used when you simply can't use small characters on a VGA screen because you're either moving, the screen physically is just too small (2.8...3") or you have bad eyesight. I’ve also added some explanation of why the current, “hacked” IEM6 version (hopefully) isn’t a representative of the final one Microsoft will release some day. (They have a lot of time bugfixing it and they too surely realize IEM6 is plain useless in many usage scenarios like the one requiring large(r) characters.)

There’s a frontpage of the article at WM Power User.

Bolt Browser

In the family of the server-optimized/rendered browser like Opera Mini or Skyfire, there is a promising newbie: the J2ME-based Bolt Browser by Bitstream. Here is a preview of that (private beta) browser.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Promising, but even scrolling is very slow (so far, tested on my Blackberry 8800). Mobile View also involves a lot of positioning at first, which is pretty annoying as, as has already been stated, scrolling itself is very slow.

Opera Mini is WAY faster (at scrolling around, including scrolling down)- at least on my BB. That is, it still needs a lot of work. For the time being, I'd prefer Opera Mini.

And what about compatibility?

Nice job with this review.

However, I did come to your post looking for a choice for flash and frames and metaframes web pages, something that makes a lot of web-based services simply UNAVAILABLE in the current PDA browsers.

Something so "simple" as checking my terra web mail, is plain impossible either in the latest Opera or IE6 browsers. Not to mention many banking services.

Any suggestion on that particular limitation?

Regards.

Edit: Found some workaround in IE6 to set the browser to identify itself as a Desktop browser instead of PDA browser.

Also some frame rendering seems to work only every other time. Hyperlinks don't always show up or work properly.

And forget about finger browsing, of course. :-(

Hmm, no way. I have tried every mobile browser for Windows mobile and keep coming back to PIE. Skyfire, Opera, Opera Mini, none of them do the GOOD things that IE does, and full screen browsing is MUCH worse than single-column browsing. I have been using PocketPC/Windows Mobile since 2001, and have yet to find a browser that can beat IE overall.

VanillaSurf 1.2

This browser isn’t bad; what I miss the most is background page opening capabilities and quick top / bottom scrolling. As it has never crashed on me, probably the most recommended browser if you do want both full screen and multipage support – for $1 only.

Too bad it uses Safari’s approach for selecting the page you want, and not a much denser, one-page list for much quicker selection:

It has no background loading capabilities either – and the lack of support for quickly scrolling to the top / bottom of the page is really annoying.

Its settings dialogs are as follows (as you can see, it’s packed with a lot of goodies):

CaizerWeb 1.0.2

The very ugly scrolling / dragging makes this title (which, otherwise, would be pretty nice) in no way recommended

Journey Web Browser 1.0

Pretty good and capable Web browser; too bad the scrolling speed / stuttering can be a real pain in the back. Therefore, not recommended.

BigBrowser+ 1.1

If you MUST store the downloaded files on your phone and make them accessible to an external computer, you’ll want to turn to this app.

File downloading in progress. Unfortunately, background downloading isn’t supported

As with all the other browsers, unsupported files (ZIP, WMV etc) can’t be downloaded.

Built-in file viewer; at the bottom, you can see the address you need to connect to from an external browser to be able to access / download your files / pages.

fgBrowser 2.5

It would be nice if and only if it supported multiple documents.

Main menu view:

Favorite / history view; as can be seen, it supports ordering history items really nicely:

iBrowseTwo 1.1.0

Really-really incapable: not even landscape is supported. Don’t bother.

The only menu it has (address input):

Mini Browser 1.0

Don’t bother.

(with the main menu maximized)

(and with it minimized)

Your write ups have been pretty amazing thus far, almost everything I've been searching for. Please keep it up.

The main reason your writeups cought my eye is not just the fact that your opinions have extensive knowledge backing them, you also go through the effort to back your opinions. You seem to prefer quality above all else which is something I admire.

The main reason I've been searching for a new browser is because of Flash compatability, I have been annoyed by PIE that came with my rom being incrediably slow and not very fluid. I have yet to find anything that is able to play Vimeo.com which is the main video playing website I pay attention to.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:

We do - it's just the hardware that is far inferior to that of the iPhone (read: no capacitive touchscreen)
[General Topics] Looking Glass:
I'm sorry to partly disagree:

capacitive touchscreens are just part of the equation: flash, java, frames, fast and easy zooming, media streaming, etc, are mostly SW related, not Hardware.

I've yet yo made up my mind on what would made up a "decent" PDA browser, but I'm sure we haven't got it yet. Pure statistics: less than 10% of my Favourites list web pages display "normally" in any portable device I've tried, and i've tried a lot of them!

And we are talking about basic web pages, like web mail, or even government sites, don't even mention Digital certificates or anything similar!.

So mostly still dissappointed.

Is there any way to change the zoom levels in IE6?

I have to disagree with the review.

Just recently installed a WM6.5 ROM with Opera and IE6.

So far I really like IE6 ... it works much better than Opera.

My only complaints:

- the zoom levels are off (probably because of the hacked nature of WM6.5 - when I am all the way zoomed out it looks normal - zoom in is just ridiculous)

- IE6 sometimes is too good for its own good - idrudgereport.com and mobile.spiegel.de default to the full 'standard' website, not the mobile version. Any way to force that without changing the browser info?
[General Topics] quicksite:
what is this copy/paste Web service?

Wait a minute. This flashed by way too quickly....

What IS this service? First I have heard of it.

Are you saying you have a method for selecting text on a webpage displayed on Opera Mini?

Please, if you don't mind, could you post a link to wherever it is you describe this?

--

Also, that was an awesome roundup for browsers on apple's iphone platform. Initially I missed the boat when I was skimming the photos down the page, and thought these were browsers that brought the iphone-like experience to WM. But then I grasped the concept -- and your suggestion that WM developers could learn a lot from the various feature sets -- and shortcomings.

Since I have very limited hardware (T-Mobile WING, same old processor as its predecessor the MDA 4 years ago!), I am trying to supplement my use of Opera Mini as my primary browser. And I keep trying to find the leanest non-java browser for use when, for example, logging on to a wifi network at a coffee house, needing to click "home"... I had such high hopes for skyfire this past year and a half... it's UI is great (for me), but damn if it doesn't always freeze my phone. Just too much for the Wing. I had tried NetFront 2 years ago, not sure if it has improved.

I know this is o/t, but can you "hands down" rec a supplementary browser that I can use when Opera Mini won't do, preferably with tabbed browsing, even if my wing can only handle maybe 2 pages opened? I'm currently trying Opera Mobile... and again, a great UI, but even THAT seems to be a bit much for the WING, unless it's the only thing running.

thank you for all your expert writings.

Yeah... if there were a WinMo device with as good a screen as that of the iPhone, I'd surely stick with it (and the latest Opera Mobile builds) - they're better than Safari on the iPhone 3G. Probably even iCab Mobile, the best 3rd party browser.

The 3G S, however, may be a game changer. Safari and iCab Mobile has always been pretty fast (faster than Opera Mobile); on the new hardware, they are stated to work even (about 2-3 times!) faster, which may further open the gap between the two platforms. (I only wish the local T-Mobile, at last, started to sell 3G S'es...)
[General Topics] pjsnyc:
Excellent writeup Menneisyys! I'd like to add that in all honesty, these days multiple browsers is a must. I use different browsers for different functions both on my home PC as well as my Diamond. I guess my point is that with WM, we are blessed with a slew of options and no single one will fit the bill entirely (unless web developers actually get on the same page for once!)

For example - I have Opera Mobile set as my default browser for 'normal' stuff. I also have Opera Mini for forums mainly. I use PIE for mobile wap sites. And I use Iris for iphone web portals like facebook, espn, and google mail/calendar/reader, etc. since it uses the same rendering engine as safari (webkit i believe).

Menneisyys,

You seem to be the guy to ask for this question...

I'm running Opera 9.5 build 1957 on my Vogue. Of all the different versions of 9.5 (and 9.7) i have tried on my phone, this is the only one that I can actually use my "HTC Touch Keypad" keyboard rather than the full qwerty to enter text in a web page. I use this kb because I'm faster at entering text with T9 and the thumbprint for each key is actually doable rather than the very small thumbprint with the qwerty kb.

Do you have any idea why this version in particular with let me use this kb? Is it a reg edit or something in the opera.ini maybe?

Thanks!

Best TASK-SPECIFIC browser? Just to login to accept wifi "Terms and Conditions" page

Menneisyys, given the advice to use different browsers for different purposes, until upgrading from slow phones like mine (T-Mobile Wing), or until a best-of-all-worlds browser appears, what's your recommendation?

I use OperaMini all the time, connected most of the day via GPRS data. It handles most of what I want when I am on the go. For YouTube I use Youtubeplayer and Coreplayer. But I'm guesssing a java browser can't handle those wifi provider log-in pages ( I've never been able to do so).

I have tried to use Skyfire as my all-around browser, and it works great, but I cannot multi-task with it. It hogs almost all memory on Wing phone. I've used Opera Mobile and, as far as I remember, it performs better for me. But I often resort to IE just for those purposes of logging onto wifi Terms & conditions page, but it's still cumbersome because the wifi provider's homepage does not supercede IE's homepage, so I set IE homepage to be as light as I can make it (google.com), but then I still have to select "homepage" and have it redraw etc, and go through annoying security page yes/no selections, before getting to wifi's homepage.

Lastly, once I am connected via your recommendation on a fast, lightweight task-specific browser to accept terms & conditions, I would want to switch to OperaMini to continue browsing, downloading etc.

suggestions?

[General Topics] vangrieg:
I'm using Opera Mobile 9.7 from the HD2 aka Leo and it's a big change from both 9.5 and the public 9.7 beta. It's much faster, much more accurate in double-tap zooming, has nice features like visual page snapshots when browsing history, and can use hardware OpenGL ES acceleration where available (granted, it's probably only the nonexistant yet Leo). I enabled acceleration on Touch HD, things are very smooth (that's why the iPhone interface is smooth, after all) and nice-looking, but there are certain bugs in rendering due to incompatible drivers, I guess. It also can use Opera Mini servers, so it'll be just as fast as OM, and should support Turbo when officially released.

On the downside, my major gripe with Opera Mobile is the interface. They seem to rely on Qt for UI rendering (understandable because it's easier for them to make browsers for all these platforms, plus their office is just one floor up from Trolltech's). This means that HTC's Menu Enhancement doesn't work, and it's much better than Opera's. Even worse, we still have to live with the awful file Save As dialog which looks like the standard WM one but isn't - it's just a Qt replica, and therefore cannot be replaced by the much better third party ones.

In any case, it certainly deserves an update of the roundup.

The Opera folks (understandably - they want their browsers to report increased usage percentage to Web servers) are against all kinds of User-Agent rewrites. This is why it's not supported at all.

The last time they allowed this was the times of the first 8.60 beta phased out in 05/2006. Then, they let me rewrite (with a hex editor directly editing the EXE file) the user-agent for another Web browser (desktop IE). However, they stated they let me do it for that beta only and not for subsequent versions.

All in all: at least officially, this won't ever be let by Opera.
