@slayerns: thanks so much for your wonderful and detailed feedback. with regard to handling pages with ajax, we'll look into it.

I tried entering news7.com into my addressbar, it worked fine. The system even recognized the news7.com and suggested to me.

I just tried the brightness feature, it worked fine too. I am using a ZTE Blade. Hummm....maybe it's a problem on our end... but this warrants further investigation....

With regard to update, our goal is twice a month (except for holidays). Again, thanks alot for trying it out.
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@williec40: thanks for the suggestions. Content sharing and copy texts are very very good suggestions.
[Android Apps and Games] imakul8:
Arrgghhh... Yeah, it does have a Miren look to it...not crazy about the look althought not put off by it. It seems the default settings are perfect for me. I went thru them and the settings are great. But, when I go to Google, enter a search and press the search icon, it registers onscreen that I've touched it, but no response...action not carried out...I can't even get to a site to see how this browser displays. So from comments previous, this is a mobile browser? I thought it would be a full one, although, my theory on the subject is that a browser need not be a full desk-top view . So long as all features to a full desktop browser are available such as flash and a wonderful download manager...can do everything full browser can do, just alternative view. Oh, and the app icon is the best...seriously. Thats a beautiful icon to have on the homescreen. :D Anyway, after saying all that, any ideas why I'm having this bad luck?:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] slayerns:
maybe new7.com can be related to HTC keyboard. I'm using htc evo keybaord. I would be glad if you can check it out.

Brightness issue might be related to HD2 since it isn't a native android phone and liblights is written from scratch.

Suggestion: It would be great if we could select "browser agent" from settings as in Miren Browser. I wanna stick with maxthon.

edit: btw, I can say that UI is the "impoved" and "box"y version of miren's
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@slayerns: when you said 'browser agent', do you mean by user agent? the ability to view sites in desktop mode and mobile mode?

thanks again for trying out and the great feedback... )
[Android Apps and Games] northend999:
tried this browser today. UI is nice. like the tabbed browsing. wasn't impressed with the speed...seemed comparable to my standard browser. i'm running an Eris with GingerShedBreadv1.2

i'll keep testing and report back
[Android Apps and Games] bland.life:
It would be nice to have an option to import the bookmarks from the stock browser.

Also its good if the MxService is not kept running if the sync is set to manual, or maybe you can add an option to disable sync and backup to SD card.
[Android Apps and Games] sageDieu:
Here's a bug for ya: When I open a link from twitter or Google talk and the browser already has a tab open, it opens in a new tab (which is good). Then if I read the page and then close the tab, if I switch apps or something and then use the app switcher to open maxthon again it will reopen the previously closed tab.
[Android Apps and Games] Jacoby:
Hi, does your browser have pinch zoom? I didn't see it in your listed features...
[Android Apps and Games] sonof:
No multiDPI support thus completely useless for me. Other than that it seemed fine.
[Android Apps and Games] jofun:
Most valuable features for mobile browsers would be adblocking, user-css and user-js on top of it.

none of the available browser supports any of these features yet (ok, opera 10 mobile does but only unofficially and not very well).

So there is your chance to be the first on android browser market.
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@northend999: thanks so much for trying and letting us know your feedback. Speed is one thing that we're constantly improving... =)

@bland.life: bookmarks imports are very important, not just importing from stock browser, maybe the ability to import from all other browsers (including desktop browsers )too? the question is, how to make it as easy as possible for the users?
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@sageDieu: that's very interesting to know, we'll definitely look into it

@Jacoby: pinch zoom is coming soon (as soon as we can)
[Android Apps and Games] webatrain:
This isn't really a Miren-beater yet I'm afraid.
[Android Apps and Games] hazard666:
If pinch to zoom is coming soon then the only thing I'd like to ask for is the option to disable the splash screen. Thanks, loving your browser!

E: Also noting that importing from desktop browsers would be FANTASTIC. Or if not that then Google bookmarks.

E2: Actually I just tried out Miren based on the comment above and the one thing that it has that I find myself wanting at times is the ability to change browser agents on the fly
[Android Apps and Games] 4redstars:
Feel a little silly for asking this but where is the option to change the gestures or set up your own?

So far so good using this!
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@jofun： love your suggestions, they are both forward-thinking and insightful... =)

@webatrain: thanks much for trying out Maxthon Mobile, we never stop getting better.. =)

@hazard666: what do you mean by disabling the splash screen? is it the default navigation screen you're referring to? the one with different categories of popular links?

@Tuffgong4: the ability to set up your own Super Gesture is not yet available, but it will be. =)
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Does this app install to sdcard? :) or rather does it have app2sd?
[Android Apps and Games] TomWan:
I used to surf internet by maxthon in my PC. it work very nice.

Now，I will try it in my phone!

thank for great work.
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@BryanChung: if I remember this correctly, if you use Android 2.2 or above, it'll install onto your SD card. =)

@TomWan: yes, please try it on your phone and see how you like it. please let us know what you think also. thanks alot =)
[Android Apps and Games] 4redstars:
Can't wait for these fixes. So far I'm really impressed with the rendering speeds.

Usually most apps need a lot of work at 1.0 but this one seems really close!
[Android Apps and Games] flunik:
a bit choppy, not as fluent as safari on iphone, but the gestures and tabbed browsing rox :P

the opera mobile is the most fluent browser i saw, but has the "checkerboard" problem. :)

still, the ui is very nice. i like it the most of all browsers i saw.

maybe rss channels could be connected to google reader ? :)
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Oh okay thanks. :D
[Android Apps and Games] tc7276:
Ok the browser is clean. Its appealing to the eye, but it still functions smoothly.

It might sometimes have a hiccup but this is a new release and that just part of growing pains

One thing I do often is D/L movies, however your browser will only allow me to stream them.

again its not a deal breaker yet. And seeing how you first release is, I have faith most of the requests will be made. May be not all but its all good bro.
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@tc7276, thanks for trying out our app. we will continue to add new features and fine-tune exisiting features. you brought up an interesting case of user downloading movies to their phone... thanks.. =)
[Android Apps and Games] Exoten:
Is it better than Miren ?
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@Exote, I think it is better than Miren. Why not give it a try? =)
[Android Apps and Games] miscrap:
On the Home screen, why am I getting links in Russian(?). For example, under Search, I see Google, Bing, Yahoo, Wikipedia, and ...some kind of non-English letters. Similar situation under SNS. How do I remove those? Also, how do I add additional links to this page?
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@miscrap， thanks for trying out our product! re: the two russian links, they are both very popular internet services in Russian. Anyway, I think we'll remove them and replace with English links in the next release.

With regard to customization of home page links, for now, you can customize the links in the new tab page. Thanks again miscrap!!
[Android Apps and Games] dsMA:
Hey Guys

I agree this does remind me of Miren, not that that is a bad thing. Can someone comment on load times? I know this will vary depending on what carrier you have, how congested the network is, if your on wifi or not, etc but I am curious to know if people think this is faster then other browsers out there.
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@dsMA, in my experience, I think Maxthon is faster than Miren. But,, I could be biased..=)
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
I wanted to give Maxthon a try over Miren. And was immediately disappointed that Maxthon did not use 100% of my screen.

(try highlight the above picture and you see how much "white spaces" are there. That's what I am referring to.)

So basically I have a very small browser. :( Not good. The browser should use my 100% of screen:

You might want to know that I changed my ro.sf.lcd_density to 220 instead of 240.
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@BryanChung, what phone and model are you using? We'll look into this immediately....

Please note that our mobile app is still quite new, but we're making quick improvements everyday, and we care alot about each user's opinion. Thanks again Bryan.. =)
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Motorola Milestone =)

The default lcd density is 240. So setting mine to 220, makes my phone resolution larger so I have more real estate on my screen. So apps should be designed to 100% of the phone screen. Most apps are like that nowadays if I believe the developers make use of the correct sdk codings. Not too sure. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aquatarkus:
How do I get the Maxthon bowser? It doesn't show up in the Marketplace. As I run Linux on my other machines, I can't do an install through Windoze, as shown on Maxthon's site. Surely, there must be a way....:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Try these:

http://www.appbrain.com/app/maxthon-browser-for-android/com.mx.browser

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mx.browser
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@BryanChung, what version is your OS? Maxthon Mobile should be able to fit perfectly as it even fits on many different tablets, but the OS should be 1.6 and above
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
2.2.1.
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@BryanChung, thanks and we're looking into this now... =)
[Android Apps and Games] CyanT:
DOwnloading this off the market right now. Hopefully i'll like this. Every browser has something that annoys the hell out of me, been stuck using the default browser for a while.
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@havillatoro， feel free to let us know what you think of the browser. =)
[Android Apps and Games] aquatarkus:
Thanks Bryan! I'm definitely going to try those now.

But I also wonder how come the Maxthon browser app doesn't show in the Android Marketplace app in the normal way? Is it still in beta?
[Android Apps and Games] aquatarkus:
OK I got into the install screen, and then it comes to a complete stop at the point where it's asking to "Chose device on which to to install". I chose the only option, which is "Phone". A message comes up, "This item is not compatible with your device". :eek: So then I can't go any further. :mad:

My "device" is a Huwaiwe U8100. What's wrong with that? I don't see why there should be hardware dependencies in a web browser.

Unless someone can enlighten me here, I think I'll just assume that Maxthon's browser is a bad joke, and stick with Miren.
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@aquatarkus， when you said Maxthon Mobile did not come up in Android Market, could you please elaborate a little more? Which country are you accessing Android Market from?

I searched Maxthon from Android market, the first result came up is Maxthon Mobile. So, I have not encountered any problems accessing Maxthon Mobile from Android Market. But we do want to look into why you couldn't access Maxthon Mobile. Thanks alot aquatarkus =)
[Android Apps and Games] aquatarkus:
I'm in Ontario, Canada. If I go into Android Market and enter either "maxthon" or "Maxthon", I get no results found.

Using the Android Market URL ending in details?id=com.mx.browser, which BryanChung posted, did take me to the Maxthon page, but the install then failed in the way I described. I also had to re-authenticate with Google for some reason....
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@aquatarkus, this is weird...

anyone here from Canada could help us verify this issue? =)
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
A friend of mine from Toronto just went on Android Market and searched for Maxthon. It worked for him. hummmmm......
[Android Apps and Games] aquatarkus:
I just checked with one of my friends over here, and he also confirmed that he could find maxthon in Android Market without any problem.

FYI his phone is a Google Nexus One, and he is on the Rogers network, which I believe is in some kind of roaming partnership with AT&T in the US.

My 'phone is on Wind Mobile's network, which is a subsidiary of the multinational carrier Orascom.

HTH
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@aquatarkus, thanks for keeping me posted...We really appreciate your help.

By the way, are you OK accessing Maxthon from the web version of Android Market? We specifically set the app to be available to ALL COUNTRIES in Android Market.

Regardless, we're very sorry to hear that you are having issues accesing the app from your carrier. =(
[Android Apps and Games] aquatarkus:
Do you mean via these URLS, posted by BryanChung?

If so, the answer is that I found Maxthon on those URLs, but then the install failed, as I described...

Why should the country matter at all, apart from any language-specific issues...

Thanks, but what difference does the carrier make?
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Any updates on the screen issue? :o
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@aquatarkus, sorry for not making myself clear in my earlier post, the problems you described are circulated inside our dev team, and we're looking into them.

@BryanChung, our dev team has had discussion on your problem... i'm sending you a private message
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Alright ... :)
[Android Apps and Games] Zb134:
Good browser overall. But a few suggestions:

-Scrolling feels a little laggy, doesn't follow my finger perfectly; response can be improved

-I like the gestures a lot, but maybe you can have an option to turn off the trace pattern

-Add more gestures

Good job!
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@Zb134, thanks so much for trying out our app. We do have plans to add more gestures as well as to improve the overall performance.

As a matter of fact, we plan to launch a new release this Friday. This is the first place we annouce to the public =)
[Android Apps and Games] coldest~~~:
another chinese browser??
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
Maxthon is the world's browser... =)
[Android Apps and Games] Vishnu N S:
Nice Browser !! Great To see such competition for Mobile Browsers :)
[Android Apps and Games] aquatarkus:
So has a fix been found for Maxthon to appear in Android Market for users on Wind Mobile in Canada? Or for the Install being broken when accessing it through a browser URL?
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
plan to come up with a new release in the next couple of days, and we took into considerations of the great feedback in here...=)
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@aquatarkus, i am sending you a private message with regard to your problem...
[Android Apps and Games] Err0rist:
Will give it a try today.
[Android Apps and Games] dEris:
These browsers are starting to look all the same. Miren browser looks just like this...
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
It was exactly what I commented on the very first version they released Maxthon too. Haha.
[Android Apps and Games] dEris:
Seriously, can no one come up with their own design? This is a reason why I wont use this, I'm picky and hate the UI in Miren. With this browser being almost identical, no thanks!

Pls remove the rss reader nobody needs this pls i use pluse as my rss reader. Add on support would be also nice
[Android Apps and Games] williec40:
I am having problem with links and select text. To open a link I have to long press the link and open it in new tab options. Selecting text is not easy to do it.
[Android Apps and Games] darrie1:
When i type an url there is always ".com" at the end. This really annoys me. Is there a way to not have this? Also pls remove rss thingies. If it were as fast as my standard browser i would use it but it is not. It is a great browser though with the tabs and gesture things :)
[Android Apps and Games] yuhenyo:
nice.. it would be awesome if this came in mostly black and white
[Android Apps and Games] Smighty:
URL AutoCompletion

Hello.

I'm in despair! Each time I want to enter an URL the AutoCompletion tries to add a ".com" even if I already typed in a valid TLD. :(

Is it possible to deactivate it within the settings? I didn't find anything within the Maxhon mobile.

All other features work great and the Favourite-Synchronization is very charming! Thanks for that!
[Android Apps and Games] tclarkey:
When I press on a phone number the phone dialer does not present. Same holds true with addresses, google maps does not present.

I have the options set to use android and not desktop.
[Android Apps and Games] elnator:
Has anyone figured out why it needs camera access? I never install apps on my phone that want access to areas they shouldn't need unless there's a documented reason for it. Why does a web browser need to access my camera?

I've looked in all the docs I can find and none of them says anything about why it would need access to the phone's camera.
[Android Apps and Games] sageDieu:
Fantastic update guys, much improved. Thank you.

[Android Apps and Games] rembo666:
Love the speed and UI, but as others said, lose the RSS button. One feature is preventing this from being my full time browser: need to have the "Share" button so I can use all the other Android apps I have hooked up to the browser.
[Android Apps and Games] techofweb:
Nice browser

I also blogged about it. Enjoy :)

Would like to request HDMI mirroring/ large display friendly UI. There are a number devices I can think of that would benefit from this. HTC Evo and Droid X to start, then there are a number of Android tablets that could use this as well.

You guys also have a bug where IFRAME content not clipped to IFRAME bounds. A good example is where flash video sits on top of the UI vs behind.
[Android Apps and Games] elnator:
So tired of you 'know it all types'.

If you don't know the answer to the question then please don't bother posting. It's a legitimate question and your answer is incorrect. Unlike when phone calls come in (which interrupts data connection on most phones) there's no interruption of an app when the camera is active or not so there's no need for an app to have access to the camera unless it has some need to use it. It's an un-necessary permission. Whether you personally think it's "ok" or not isn't the point. The point is I'd like to know why the app wants access to an area of the phone that, as far as can be seen, it doesn't need.

Just as an example here is the list of permissions that most browsers need:

Some also want:

Now... I personally don't install the ones that want access to sensitive log data because they don't need that access. It's un-necessary. Most apps (with some exceptions like antivirus, firewall or system utility type apps) have no need to access logs other than their own.

If you're ok with letting apps have access to any information they want, that's your business. Personally I know exactly what *can* be done with permissions so when I see a permission that looks fishy I get curious. If you're ok with apps having access to areas they don't need, that's your business. I didn't criticize you for liking the app or thinking it's ok. I merely posed a question. Granted the wording of my original post was bad.

One of the things I really liked about Maxthon is it doesn't really ask for anything it shouldn't have, other than the camera access. So I asked why.

I can't find another browser app that requests access to the camera. Again, I don't have a problem with it, I want to know.... *why*.

As to the paranoid comment:

Access to the camera means that the app could, not saying it DOES but that it could, record video or take pictures with your camera without you even knowing.

By virtue of the fact that it has full internet access it can then upload that video to the internet, also without you knowing.

I'm not saying it does. Just saying that given that permission combination it IS possible. This is why us 'paranoid' types ask these questions.
[Android Apps and Games] Lokifish Marz:
Another bug found. When posting in forums (this one for example) you are unable to attach files. This is not an issue with the stock browser, Firefox Mobile or Miren.

Also. What's the word on flash content floating above the browser UI and a "Desktop UI" option?
[Android Apps and Games] sageDieu:
Are you on 2.0? if so, there is a thread for it separate from this.

Sent from my MIUI SCH-i500
[Android Apps and Games] ardalaan:
how can i create an account for sync ?
[Android Apps and Games] Lokifish Marz:
So we have two separate threads for the same app? That's a bit confusing. So which one is the official bug/feature request thread as I see both types of posts in both threads.
[Android Apps and Games] kobby2k6:
love the browser and its speed but have a few issue which i hope will be ironed in the next version...

1. i hope there is an option to be able to open a new tab in the background while staying on the original page of the browser. i know there is an option to open links in a new tab but it doesn't quite cut it because every single link opens in a new tab.

2. i have noticed that when you are in the browser and press the home button...you return to your main home screen but when you hold the home button and try to go back to the browser for a quick switch...it reloads the last tab..but when i go to the back to my app drawer and click the app, this bug doesn't occur..

3..these are my only issues so far and i hope in the future , we also have an option to have a bookmark page to have as a default..these are my only bugs keeping me from make it my default browser.

4.. thanks for the great browser and continuous support
[Android Apps and Games] frankenbike:
Just started using this.

Pros: Fast, plays Flash (unlike the Firefox browser), sensible Bookmarks access.

Cons: Like all other Android browsers I've tried, if there's a way to move bookmarks up and down, it isn't obvious and I haven't found it.

Closest browser to a desktop I've found so far.

BTW, I tried Firefox before Maxthon, and was sorely disappointed.
[Android Apps and Games] cyanide911:
Im adding bookmarks to the speed dial type home page but they just refuse to appear there. I add then again but then it says that it already exists
[Android Apps and Games] jwilliamf:
I started using Maxthon for 10" tablet today. So far, so go but on some sites like androidtablet and yahoo, the browser close itself.

have anybody experienced something similar?
[Android Apps and Games] stalkachu:
Some odd behavior since the last update and the new 404 page. Basically, since I'm running adfree android as well on websites that have some kind of popup system, the site opens, the popup opens to the new 404 page, and...when I go back, it goes back to the page before I opened the site at all, making it impossible to access certain sites. Not sure if it's just me, but I've had the problem specifically on cyber12.com, and a couple of others, which has caused me to drop back to Dolphin HD for a little while. But I do prefer Maxthon, however until this gets fixed, it's too much of a hassle to use.

Anyone else?

Take care,

Oli
