[Q] Incognito mode / Private browsing - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am looking for stock browser with incognito mode or private browsing.
I know there are browsers out there (like skyfire) which have incognito mode, but most of them tend to be flashy, fancy and resource heavy. As browsers are usually always running, I prefer a lite browser, and stock browser seems pretty lightweight. The only thing missing is incognito mode.
I saw that feature in some custom ROM (forgot which) for HTC desire, but don't know if it is available for Nexus S. Does anyone know if I can modify the stock browser or download an add-on or something?

Its in CM7.....

And the Stock ROM? Any addon or something like that to use the inkognito mode? for firefox or Opera? Stock Browser?

There is an incognito mode in ICS. To use it open tabs menu and press menu button.

Oh... sorry!
Alright but i cant handle it like Firefox / IE etc. on a PC? I mean is there any way to turn it on "forever"?
I start the Browser and all Tabs / Windows are still in Private mode (automatically).
Something like that

Hulu?

Is it possible to get hulu on our devices? I was looking around the evo forum and noticed they have it going on, so could we get it?
Froyo.... my hero's dirty little secret.
Not yet since its a flash based app.

Thanks, didn't know if it would be able to run like YouTube does or not.

I think Hulu themselves are coming out with an app for it, but you need to pay for Hulu Plus.
Will the hulu plus app come to android phones

Most likely, because it's already out for the iPhone.

They are developing one for Android, but no annoucement as to when or what platforms. I believe it's right on their website (can't verify now, IT has site locked out from work computer).

Facebook for android question

So the update was supposed to bring access to pages. I don't see it anywhere. Where is it?
So its out that no one knows, or that its obvious and I'm retarded? Just curious why no one has responded.
I see no difference either.
Feel better?

I guess you can only view, comment, and like pages. Not post from one if you have one.

facebook needs to stop favoring iphone and give android some love. The app really sucks...
Just tried to email their app support and they won't even accept them. I post an screenshot later
Video upload is not reliable at all too. 8 out of 10 videos I tried to upload end up getting stuck.

The FB app by FB is garbage its plain and bland.
I started using another app for FB called Flow (There name is changed to friendcaster now the dav partnered with handmark makers of tweetcaster)
The app is excellent in nearly every aspect except one, the fact that you cant send a message from the application itself (Due to FB removing that portion of the API to only acknowledge the official FB app)
Theres a free version and a pro version on the market and its worth a try.

New Market & movies tab

Anybody know why some rooted devices show the movies tab in the new market & ones like mine rooted inspire running inspired ace don't have it showing. Could it be that the inspire doesn't officially have gingerbread yet or is it because the other devices like the sgs captivate are just not being recognized as rooted?

50 views & no replies? How about if anyone has a rooted inspire that has the movie tab showing in the new market & what rom are you running?

No replies because this already been answered. Search is your friend...

Not exactly, what has been stated is that google wasn't going to allow rooted devices access to the movie tab, but I have gotten responses on other tech boards with users stating that their rooted devices do have access to it (such as the model above) & wanted to know if anyone new why. Another thing until xda redesigns their search function it's pretty much useless especially when I'm using their paid app on my phone. This has been stated numerous times by other users but people like you keep spouting search is your friend. I shouldn't have to open up my phones browser & do a google search with xda in the search parameters when the search function should be implemented correctly for an app that I paid for specifically for using this Site. Once that's fully implemented then you have every right to reinstate your position as the search police.

Looking for App for our Gaming Forum

We have recently started a Video Gaming Forum and Blog.
The site has mobile and desktop skins, but no Android app.
Do any of you guys know where we could find a Forum app for our website.
The forum software that we are using is IP Boards 3.2x and we would like to have an affordable solution that's similar in the look and feel of the XDA Developer app.
Thanks in advance!
You can use a plugin for Tapatalk than use the Tapatalk app for Android. Basically the XDA app is the Tapatalk app but you can only access XDA from it.
Big fan of tapatalk. Using it to post, in fact. Also available for iPhone&iPad. One of the few apps I've bought for my phone.
What the other guy said-the xda app is a branded tapatalk I think
Me to, I use Tapatalk, but my TF101 Is dead in the moment.
What I noticed, Taptalk loads quit slowly on my tablet always in the wrong orientation. (portrait)
We just started our Forum, its a project from a young men still in High School and the 800US$ for the custom Taptalk app are just out of his league.
I dont know but insnt there a way To add your forum to the tapatalk catalog..
Thank if help'd

Facebook crap!

Why the heck facebook takes 100mb ram??
Because its coded very poorly. FB is like crack to most of its users, so they don't care it uses a ****-ton of resources, so FB has no reason to bother coding it efficiently. Like a ton of other apps too. As the phones get more powerful, the devs get sloppier since they don't have to optimize. Same with computers, or any electronic, so few users are going to notice it doesn't matter to lose the few who do over sloppy code when compared to the money and time it might take to write it efficiently.
It doesn't pay to pay attention to such things anymore, there are just way to many of the clueless around out-spending the discerning consumers at a break-neck pace (i.e. the success of the iPhone). Join the herd or be forever disappointed.

yeah u r right, good point! that background detection is pretty bothering though.
Worse still is that even their mobile website is so poorly done that it sucks ever so slightly less than the app. So the only way to use Facebook reliably is with a computer. And morons were surprised when the ipo tanked!
Now ask yourself, did I really just read that? Yes you did.

Is anyone using any third party Facebook as a replacement? Like faster book or whatever its called.

Thinking about just using the browser instead of the app, it's so frickin bloated.
Try friendcaster
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using Tapatalk 2
Friendcaster is a really nice replacement, but it lacks permissions to show all the content, so often you get redirected to the browser. Facebook doesn't only create s crappy app, they also stop third party apps from making better ones :/

Dolphin Browser with the 'Desktop Browser' Addon and Full screen mode does a Facebook just fine. I find the mobile web version a bit more sufficient than the app. Justmy opinion...

A little convoluted, but if it gets the photos to load every time, worth it. That's really my major gripe with the app, after you look at a few photos, they stop loading. I have to back out, force close, and clear cache to get them back.

Tell us how you really feel. With all the money and non- monetization from mobile use, you'd think it would be his... Mark Z's biggest priority after he is done shopping for Camera app developer's.
