(Note, I am biased, I work for Mozilla)

With the latest set of changes to Fennec (Firefox Mobile) it is finally getting to the point that it is useful to me as my main browser. Biggest improvement was memory reduction. If you haven't seen the coolness that is Firefox Sync, you have to check it out. Being able to open a tab from your desktop immediately in your phone is great. Obviously, still beta, but I love it cause I don't mind beta software.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Well for one, the stock browser doesn't look like a pile of (insert most foul feces you can think of here). Also, the stock browser doesn't waste screen space with unnecessary nonsense, which Dolphin seems to LOVE doing.
[Epic 4G General] Comando156:
I aggree with muyoso, stock is best option for me. Dolphin took up too much room. I do have skyfire also, but only use it for flash vids when needed. When 2.2 comes around ill drop it all together. Firefox is still very much a beta, and a huge ram hog.
[Epic 4G General] imwillzillla:
Must go with stock as well. Anything the other browsers do that stock doesn't, they don't end up doing it well. Stock is fine and will be even better when F comes out.
[Epic 4G General] fromchaos0646:
thanks, all. i guess i didnt give the stock browser enough time. uninstalled dolphin and put browser back on and liked it immediatly.
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
No text reflow, slow and laggy, no go. Sry.
[Epic 4G General] a454nova:
FireFox

Just played with it... nothing worked. But damn! When its done... going to be awesome!

I want that more than flash/2.2 lol. Its nice.

I hated colors and design of dolphin hd and almost gave up. Until I found dolphin browser (not hd!). Much better design and layout, my default browser! I've used dolphin/hd/stock/fennec/opera/mini/miui. Miui is my second favority, google its apk. The baidu default is annoying though...
[Epic 4G General] twoeleven99:
Xscope is what I use daily..love it
[Epic 4G General] josidhe:
Yup, xscope user here as well. It's quick, out of the way, tabbed browsing, file management, text copying, and an exit feature with clean-up.

Shame it went pay-only (the trial version really isn't worth it with the watermark), but the old pay version went freeware on the website, so people can still enjoy a quick, minimal browser that's well beyond stock's capabilities and well below Dolphin's system load.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
What can it do that the stock browser doesn't?
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
Skyline is my favorite next to stock. The ability to play flash videos, plus being allitte faster than stock.
[Epic 4G General] Pyperkub:
I wouldn't mind stock if it could do adblock without rooting. As it is, the delays and text wrap changes to load ads really irk me.
[Epic 4G General] AndrewZorn:
Despite feeling the need to root and install custom ROM and kernel within an hour of using the phone, I have not felt the need to replace the stock browser... it seems pretty much perfect.
[Epic 4G General] Eazail70x7:
Dolphin hd for me. Blue theme add on installed as well. It is more flexible than stock browser too. Itd like stock android vs launcher pro.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
I tried out FireFox a bit and its not too bad actually..still onyl tried it for a day and there is no flash support yet...also not used to the menu key not giving me an actual menu lol..there are a few minor bugs with it...

it loads pages faster but redraw is a lot slower..

Did an ACID 3 test for fun

Desktop FF 3.6: 94/100

Mobile FF: 97/100

Stock 2.1 Browser: 93/100

Would like to see them make a final release with flash and all the issues worked out.
[Epic 4G General] arabdrifter:
Messed around with a few browsers. The stock one is deff nice/stable but opera mini picks up the slack in other areas. Opera also let's you download/play flash video. Both browsers and the stock videa player don't support any mpg format. Still working on finding a decent player compatiable with all formats like tcmp player. Download time are very close..pretty much even. Comming from the win mobile/tp2..when I was prompted to download to phone or sd card I could rename the file according to my liking..not so with either browser, could be an android thing. Figured Id give some detailed info on some specs of what each browser can do
[Epic 4G General] bomix:
X scope for me, The UI on the first page is worth it. some might not like it but I think it's very useful. waiting for 2.2, Stock browser is great also.
[Epic 4G General] Mama Luigi:
I've had the same problem deciding. They all have strengths and weaknesses.

I'd say the stock browser is right in the middle - it's stable, not that fast but not that slow, pretty basic features, but at least it doesn't use much screen space.

Dolphin HD has a ton of features including a few that I absolutely love, like using the volume rocker to scroll up and down, keeping the screen on, and rearranging bookmarks. Tabs are okay although it has an ugly interface that takes up a lot of room. Sometimes it's slow too. I turned off several features like the gestures. Another bug is it doesn't seem to be able to pinch zoom unless you turn on the zoom button (which is redundant).

Skyfire is really slow, ugly, buggy, cluttered, and videos don't even work half the time. No thanks.

Opera is faster but can be very weird. I don't like how it handles text entry fields. And no real zooming either.

I'm using Dolphin HD now but maybe I'll go back to stock for a while.

Anyone help me please,

I want to write android application for install specify .apk file for sdcard.

Can i implement like this? Please help or advice me.

Thank you very much.
[Android Software Development] UpSpin:
Why don't you use Titanium Backup, a simple file explorer or just browse the market for such an app?

Why do you want to write an app yourself if you have no clue about it? Can you code in Java at all, more than just outputting 'Hello world'?

Because i want to make application for control all software in My android device.

[HD2 General] djcedric:
We always knew this day would come, some guys at xda.cn has managed to get WP7 up and running on a HTC HD2. The HD2 which was the only capacitive screen Windows Mobile device was expected to get an unofficial port of WP7. This does not look like the release build of Windows Phone 7 ( Xbox Live tile has a green background in the release build of WP7 ) . In the video you can see that the OS runs quite smoothly on the HD2, and they shows the various hubs like picture and games. The hardware keys have been mapped to mimic the Home and Back buttons, Search was not shown in the video, doesn’t necessarily mean its not there. They also demo the multi-touch pinch to zoom in the picture hub.

It looks nice and all and is a nice hacking feat but do you honestly want to run WP7 on the HD2 or get one of the new WP7 device ?

look the video at pocketnow:

[HD2 General] sukru:
This is indeed a great day to be an HD2 owner.

For the obvious question: when can I get my hands on it?

(Answer does probably have something to do with patience :D)
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
I saw that just a bit ago on twitter. Looks very promising. I wouldn't mind being able to boot wp7 just for the netflix streaming!

[HD2 General] -deuces-:
i believe we will get a working rom, but whats all this talk about we not able to download from market because each wp7 has its own specific id???
[HD2 General] RolandCruise:
Assuming it's not a fake, that's the strangest thing...driver problem?

Uhm... why show that detail if it is a fake??

Very strange...
[HD2 General] djcedric:
I don't think it's a fake mate because pocketnow wont post it i think...
[HD2 General] evolutionqy7:
Its because Windows phone 7 needs a licence. You cannot access a few bits (one of them is marketplace ) without activating the OS
[HD2 General] tfouto:
how would pocketnow know that's not fake? They havent tried the port.
[HD2 General] chris10230:
I think that may be correct. The ROM's must be big on those devices as they are meant to have more than 512 NAND storage. Hopefully they implement what HTC did in some and use the microSD as extra storage on them :)

Really? That'll put a dampener on any port made.
[HD2 General] djcedric:
only the time will clarify this :)

what is a quadrant score? does it defy gravity? does it make me uber cool and get chicks like axe? does it make my internet penis bigger? what do i do with quadrant score?
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
A number that means just as much as the amount of times you've picked your nose during your lifetime.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
no, certainly not, yes and you brag because it doesn't really mean anything, quadrant is a good benchmark if you ignore the file system score and you compare the component scores individually, you can only do that if you have the pay versions, the composite score is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine 'cept for bragging rights. i show it off to evo and droid x owners who obviously dont know any better and have never heard of a captivate. i also show off fps in nenamark.

warning this will definitely not get you girls. not even the nerdy gamer chicks.
[Captivate General] mac208x:
Noob alert! How you get the score? Lollipop!
[Captivate General] djwyman:
by downloading quadrant from the market and running a test on your phone which then compares your score to what all of the heavy hitter android phones out right now.

Most standalone benchmarks are not real useful for real world comparisons but that doesnt mean we cant post them for ****s and giggles.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_logger:
Got a really irritating issue with my X10i...just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same.

Updated to 2.1 global generic on UK unbranded X10i. Now everytime the phone swithes between different data connections i.e from GPRS to 3G to EDGE to HSDPA, it drops back to the home screen. So if you are in the middle of doing something, like writing a text it just drops back to the homescreen and erases everything you've done. It's driving me mental!!!

Has anyone else experienced this??
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_logger:
Bump. No one?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kindred7:
Wow, that sounds nasty. I don't have the problem but let's see if we can find an answer.

What are your settings for;

settings > wireless &mobile networks > mobile networks > network mode

Also in mobile:

network>network operators

Do you have it set to manual or auto?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_logger:
@kindred7 - Thanks for the reply...

Mobile Networks is set to GSM/WCDMA preferred. If I put the phone in GSM only it still jumps to the home screen when it jumps between GPRS and EDGE. If I put it in WCDMA only it jumps going between 3G and "H"

Network operators is set to Auto, but I have tried setting manually and the same thing happens.

At first I thought it might have been LauncherPro, but it also happens with the default SE Home.

Phone is rooted, but again, same problem when unrooted.

I can't for the life of me work it out, other than it's a settings problem, but I have tried changing those from the Auto Settings ones to the ones from the O2 website and still suffering the same problem.

Additionally I have NO auto kill programs running.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_logger:
Not to worry. After 6 attempts at writing the same text message and being kicked back to the home screen halfway through writing it...I got incredibly pissed off, smashed the phone on the desk, threw it at the wall and went to Carphone Warehouse and bought an HTC Desire HD. 1,000,000% better than the Xperia piece of s**t. Better menus, better software, better everything.

Thanks Sony, but no.

Anybody else's G2 load the gallery extremely slow? It just started happening tonight and I did a hard reset but it didn't fix the problem.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
Yeah. Its slow. The more pics and vids the slower it'll load.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Forrest80:
Mine also is slow. Reminds me of my old crappy phones. I would expect more from the G2 on this subject.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ZeroSX:
Slow at stock speeds. Ok when overclocked. Pretty sure the faster your SD card, the faster gallery will load. The SD card that come with our phones isn't all that great.
[G2 and Desire Z General] marqi.k:
Yeah, mine has always been slow.
[G2 and Desire Z General] pierrekid:

Nothing to do with the OTA, my was slow b4 and is still slow now.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Orite:
I even deleted all the vids and pictures off of it with no success
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bishybob:
Here's what I do to keep my gallery fast... Well, in a way.

The gallery automatically updates to your Picasa web albums. I highly recommend Picasa. You can also download a desktop client that is a great picture manager. I store ALL my pictures on Picasa web albums. I even purchased the extra 20 or so gigs of storage for $5. Totally worth it.

So I keep one folder (the camera folder) with my recently taken pictures. When it gets to about 15-20 pictures I use Picasa Tool Pro to upload them to a Picasa web folder called G2 Pictures. Then from there I can create different folders for different types of pictures and categories and move them there.

So when I open my gallery it only loads the picture that represents each album, instead of all of them. Then when I open each individual album it downloads them from Picasa. So this way I have access to ALL my pictures all the time, save space on my phone, and the gallery stays running fast. The downside is that when you open a specific album it takes a sec to download all the pictures. But I haven't found this to be a problem.

So yeah you might want to try this. It keeps my gallery fairly fast and I have hundreds if not thousands of pictures.

Well just my .02.
[G2 and Desire Z General] andrewilley:
I know there are plenty of threads about G2 hinge issues, but I'd like to know about your Desire-Z keyboard hinges now that it has shipped.

I've just received my second Desire-Z this morning and it's probably worse than the first one. If pick up the phone, absolutely horizontal, from a table just by holding the upper section, the keyboard just falls half-open. :( Surely it shouldn't be like this? Here's a quick youtube video I took of my first phone:

[YOUTUBE]k1j9cATFdaw[/YOUTUBE]

Just wondering if I've been really unlucky, or are they basically all like this? I really hope not...

Andre
[G2 and Desire Z General] p3eps:
Mine does exactly the same. I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but I'm not very happy with it.

My other concern is that the screen wobbles back and forth when I have the phone closed if I tap on the left and right edges.

I think this is probably a design flaw rather than a specific device problem. You'll probably find they're all the same :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] LickTheEnvelope:
Cant quite tell what the angle is in the video.

If I pick up mine by just the top piece then it droops, but doesn't slide out.

If I hold it upside-down by the base it droops, but can't slide.

Whenever I pick up the phone though I hold it by the base, so in normal use it's perfectly fine.
[G2 and Desire Z General] andrewilley:
I'm basically assuming that the spring should be just strong enough for the phone to hold itself together (i.e. without the keyboard dropping away at all) when it is gently lifted up from a flat surface. That's the benchmark I would want to see anyway, and neither of mine will do that.

I might take this up with HTC and see what their view on it is - I just hope they don't do an Apple and patronisingly say "you're holding it the wrong way". :rolleyes:

Andre
[G2 and Desire Z General] p3eps:
