I don't like Dolphin. Too bloated and weird. I just want something that is fast and lean and maybe has tabs. Anything like that out there?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Dragoth12:
Try Opera Mini. Seems to run pretty fast and smooth and has some great features including tabs.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Maverick777:
xScope, best browser on Android IMO. I've tried Opera, Dolphin HD, Skyfire, and default browser.

One finger zooming is pretty handy and multitouch zooming is as smooth or smoother than Dolphin HD. I also prefer the overall look of xScope especially with a dark theme applied.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Master™:
Opera Mini FTW!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ColbyRyptos:
Skyfire, fast and best for flash
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Bruzkee:
xscope 5. they just updated it to xscope 6, but its still buggy and not as nice as easy as 5.

I second that, the flash support is great in skyfire.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] speoples20:
I've used most and keep going back to the Default one. Everything else seems bloated and slow. Haven't used xScope is it good?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kolyan:
Xscope is good, v5, but new version v6 still needs lots of improvement
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] floepie:
Dolphin is ugly, xScope is pretty, Web is fast, Skyfire is like Web, but a touch slower, but has flash. Opera is nice, but it doesn't feel Android-y.

What I can't understand is why Opera is the *only* browser to implement foldered bookmarks. As a workaround, I have installed Chromemarks, which syncs Chrome's bookmarks so they're all in a nice tree. I just switch back back to Chromemarks when I want to a new link. Flipping through 100+ links is not fun when they're all in a list.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] speoples20:
I tried out xscope and like others I just don't like it. Its trying to do too much, I like just a basic web browser. I want to view web pages not have to learn 20 different gestures.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Master™:
I still say Opera FTW!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ranova:
I still like dolphin just because of 1) tabs 2) volume rocker to scroll and 3) sliding bookmark panel

I havent had time to fully test the cyanogenmod rom for the EVO yet and I know a lot of people really love the extra features added to it. My question is what are those features not available in other roms or sense roms?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evoooo:
Well you have great features that NO other ROM can do! Such as no more 4G. No more FM Radio! Camera quality is lessened. But my personal favorite is no more HDMI output. But all those aside...it makes your phone...well...kinda faster? Something like that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaaaas:
while all those features are no there [and not missed... I have 4g and still take cm6 over anything else]. the overall performance and feel of your phone is night and day. give it a shot... you'll probably have a hard time going back

really? hdmi is your biggest gripe? it sucked anyway. maybe it's better now since they officially uncapped the fps. and um "kinda faster" lol that's a good one
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beatblaster:

Is this really still the case after HTC unlocked the fps in the most recent update? I use 4g every so often myself so i'm not entirely ready to try switching to CM6 myself, but trying to keep an eye if there is something that makes it outweigh having 4g.

Who CPUfreq governor is most energy saving?

Conservative governor

Interactive governor

Ondemand" governor
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
I believe it is the conservative one. IMO "Interactive" gets second place followed by "on demand" one. The worst one battery wise is "Performance" which you actually have not listed in your question.

I would suggest you turn your post into a poll - will be easier to track community's opinion.

[Captivate General] pmpntl:
On captivate, tried using the "phone information" to enable 3g only...

used the above dialer code to access the menu,

-selected WCDMA only

-clicked 'Back'

-Still on Edge, but i know my 3g works where i am, since it's been toggling back and forth.

How do i enforce this? Since, when i exit, it reverts back to "GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)"

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xX_o2_Xx:
it has been announced by Sony Ericsson on twitter that in the update the colours will not be updated from 65k to 16m - yet again more disappointing news from Sony :/

does anyone know if this is to be included in future updates (If any)?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl1nk3:
I don't really understand the whole hype over the color depth issue.

Do you really think having 16 millions colors will change anything, or is it just to have the big numbers ?

What we currently have is pretty decent, in older updates the color banding was slightly visible due to the lack of dithering (interpolation), but latter updates (namely R2B) introduced some dithering and now it's much less apparent.

Also the X10 LCD panel, like 95% of all LCD panels, uses the TN technology (as per the viewing angles) so even if it was sent full 24bit colors, it wouldn't show more than 262000 colors with some dithering (since TN panels only use 6bit per color channel instead of 8, that makes it 18bits which is (1 << 18) = 262144)

So anyway, most screens, even the one you're currently reading this on, don't support the full 24bit color range (unless you're using a profesionnal PVA monitor :p)

And I'm pretty sure you wouldn't notice the difference in most cases, at least I know could hardly find the difference at all, and i'm much more concerned about someone hacking multitouch in this thing than increasing the color depth :p
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
I don't get it either.. Quite happy with my screen too. More concerned that trying to process 16m colours will just slow it down..

I have a backround and there is no banding visible, only on some widgets you can see it like facebook widget but hey guess what i could also see some banding on my galaxy s with 16m colors. The reason for that is dethering. The x10 dithering will probably be improved in 2.1 and will look the same as on the galaxy. As somweone with the 2.1 test version noted that there is no visible banding on the widgets.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl1nk3:
Did you try on a 2.1 device already ? Maybe it's just because the background is using a 256-color png ?

Who knows if they will ever bump up the screen to 16m colours, it doesn't make sense they would leave it out with this update but they have. Makes me wonder if the screen in the x10 supports 16m colours? IMO SE is like a headless chicken running around not knowing which way to go. They make devices on multiple platforms & as soon as they come out they instantly forget about them and move on.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigger69:
Maybe they cheaped out and just fitted the cheapest 4" screen they could, hence no MT or 16mil colors.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoneguy 4567:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xX_o2_Xx:
baring in mind that before the x10 came out Sony Ericsson where in debt because of all the claims by warranty from their other failing phones such as the w910.

and the android device saved them from their debt which is why they've dragged it on so far making/ announcing 5 more android phones -x10, x10 mini, x10 mini pro, x8, and one more i think

I dont know what pictures youre using but my wallpapers look very good and very crisp, not grainy and no banding. Try the wallpapers in the themes thread and see if its different.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Contrarian:
How many times does someone have to tell you guys that 16 million colours is a gimmick. I'd say a good 99% of banding is caused by the quality or format of an image, not the screen itself. Most Android applications use low quality (8 bit) bitmap images to preserve space, giving you a maximum of around 256 colous.

I would like to see it but i really think that we are better off sticking to 16bit.

It's really not that bad..

Or it could be to preserve battery performance, as we all know the more the screen gives in terms of colours the more power it will consume, hence making it 65k seemed more realistic as now the X10 has more battery life compared to other android devices.

Seriously! A company like SE should give what they promise. They are lucky someone has not sued them on this. We already paid for the 16M color screen... dint we?

And I have compared a 65K color screen and a 16M color screen and of course the 16M looks much better & vibrant.
