Our office has begun using FootPrints (by numara, a web based ticket tracking system) and I'm testing compatibility with my Xoom. The site utilizes pop-ups when trying to navigate through the site. The first pop-up seen works correctly but when that first pop-up tries to open a second pop-up (i.e. PU1: new ticket; PU2 Spell check) the below error messages is received and the new window does not open.
-----------
! Pop-up already open
Could not open a new pop-up window because only one can be open at any time.
<OK>
-----------
Browser has Pop-ups allowed, not sure what else to check. Tried testing with Dolphin and since it handles pop-ups as an additional tab it seems to work great but i'd rather see if we can get this working on the stock browser. Currently i'm running a rooted Xoom on 3.1

Hey Guys,
I have an issue with some of the browsers available for the android phone.
I would like to access work through my phone via VPN web access. I am sucessfull at this.
When I open my work page, it opens up in a popup window. This is okay too as I allow pop ups under settings.
The issue is, when I click on a case in this pop up window, there is an error thats comes up saying"Cannot open another pop up window, only one pop up window at a time". It is trying to open up my case in another pop up window, which it blocks.
I have used froyo 2.2 on a Nexus one, dell streak, galaxy s tab and motorola droid.
I also used Dolphin HD and Dolphin, with the same results.
I downloaded opera, and there was not even an option for allowing pop ups.
Do you guys have any ideas?
I would like to be able to do my work with out having to lug around a laptop everywhere I go.
Thanks again and Happy Holidays!

I would love to find out if this is an Android restriction or there are indeed browsers that support multiple pop ups (or can be tweaked to do so). There are some legit websites that actually rely on pop ups for various purposes (chat rooms for example). Old fashioned and annoying yes, but why punish the end users for it?
Darn, I have the same issue on my HTC EVO. My work website uses pop-ups, but I can't open the link on the pop-up that uses another pop-up! All legitimate pop-ups, not ad-ware. There must be a way to allow trusted sites or something.
Is there a solution to this issue??
Has anyone found an answer/fix to this issue? It is definitely an Android issue b/c I have the new HTC Sensation running Android Gingerbread 2.3, and everyone I know w/ an Android phone from 2 years ago to present has had this same issue....we can not open more than 1 popup window at a time. Like all have posted in this thread, I'm trying to access a number of different applications within my job's website (SWAlife - website for Southwest Airlines employees but specifically for flight attendants to change/trade their trips) and it relies on opening popups within popups but it just doesn't work w/ Android devices.
I've tried the stock browser, Dolphin, Opera mini, Skyfire, rotating the phone horizontally, keeping the setting in Landscape only mode while browsing, and of course, allowing Popups in the browser settings. I also need the browser to allow double-clicks to be just that - a double-click.....not a zoom in and out function.
Please, can someone tell me if there is a fix somewhere to this problem??? I'm interested in buying the new Samsung Galaxy S II but refuse to if I'm not able to access all elements of my job's website. Oh, and someone made a SWAlife app that's accessible with iPhone only (works perfectly & allows popups to open within popups) but I HATE to have to buy an iPhone just b/c of this app. :-(
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide!!
You know the SWAlife app is in the Android market too, but you will not be able to check the overtime call out list, not built in to the app yet, same with from iPhone app.

Yea, I've used the Android SWAlife app for some time but it only employees to make non-rev listings, provides company news and operational updates. No Crew Web Access or FA scheduling. In otherwords, this app is pretty useless :-( The one for iPhone, however, is EXACTLY what we need for Android. It allows pilots and FAs to manipulate their schedules in CWA (Inflight Crew Web Access)....it looks identical to what's in SWAlife on the web and functions just as if you were on a PC. Are you aware of another app in the Market that I might be missing that allows that? Thanks for your help!

Moving to General
I know this is an old problem, but try xScope browser in the market. I needed to be able to open more than one popup window and the website I was trying and failing to access with about 10 other browsers would not work until I tried this one.
I have the same problem. Your tip sounds good. I will give this browser a try. I hope that the search has an end.
This browser works for my sites where I need more than one pop-up. Thanks for the valuable information.
For my kids iPods, we have MobileMe which we use for locating it. Now with my new Transformer, is there something similar? Specifically, some sort of theft recovery program where I can log online and find out via GPS where the device is?
yeah i was wondering the same, as well as a security app. but i guess honeycomb is still Wifi only (mostly) and devs are more interested in an GSM/CDMA tablet compatible. plus, GPS by it self sucks, i tried to use for navigation, no luck

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Dd you have it turned on. GPS on my TF works fine for navigation. Get GPS info app and look at the raw data. Remember it is a GPS (Satellite rcvr) and needs to have a relatively clear view of the sky.
Maybe not exactly what you're looking for....

Why not try Prey - preyproject dot com - it's free for the first 3 devices it's linked to with an account. It's also open source too and is multi-platform so it's more flexible (ie you can have it on your laptop as well). I use this on my Nexus One and will try it out on the Transformer once I get mine in the next few days.
I'd like to second the "Lookout" suggestion.
Not only can you locate your tablet...you can lock it down (or even wipe it clean) remotely...if you find it's gone.
It won't let me download/install Lookout onto the Transformer. Says "Your device is not compatible with this item". huh???
Ah... didn't see that (I only have it installed on my Galaxy S)! Sorry!
This sucks. PreyProject won't install on the Transformer either! Hmmmm...
see my next post...it's possible according to Lookout Support.
From the Lookout web support:
The reason why you're having trouble finding Lookout in the market for Honeycomb Tabs is due to the fact that the they don't support SMS messages.
We rely on SMS messages to initiate a connection to a device in the event it's lost, stolen, etc. Without the ability to receive SMS messages the missing device features would be greatly hindered, however, device based backups and malware protection would work normally.
Until we release a version that's more compatible with the Honeycomb tabs you can install it using this alternate method:
The first thing you'll want to do is enable the installation of non-market applications. To do this:
Go to settings > application > and check the box next to "Unknown Sources." Go ahead and disregard the warning (by clicking OK), we can uncheck it later.
Next, back out of Settings and open up the web browser.
In the address bar delete everything that's there and type this in (minus quotes): "m.getjar.com" and hit enter.
Now click on "Android" under "Or, Choose your platform." This will bring you to another page where you will see a search box in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
Tap the search box, to insert the cursor, and type "Lookout" and tap "go". The search will produce one result, which is "Lookout"
Tap on the link "Lookout Mobile Security with Antivirus".
You will now be on another page that displays a grey "Download" box. Go ahead and tap on it.
The Tablet will show that it's beginning to download the file and you'll see the progress, of the download, in the notification bar.
Tap on the download icon (it looks like a downward facing arrow pointing at a line) and a small window will populate above with the word "lookout-production-signed-aligned.apk" Go ahead and tap on that.
A window that says "Package Installer" pops up. From here you can read the permissions that Lookout requires. Go ahead and tap "Install".
Your installation will start. Tap "Open" once the installation has finished to open Lookout.
Finish setting up Lookout as you normally would!
Still doesn't let me download. It gets me to download and install the GetJar app but then just takes me back to the webpage.
Can someone just post the apk?
Thanks.
here you go
Thanks! Installed and working!
Edit - Maybe not. When I got to mylookout.com and try to locate the device, it asks for a mobile number. Since this is a WIFI device only, I entered in my cell number instead and it fails to locate it. But I guess this app is good for antivirus use.
Now back to the search....
Yes...they said until they get it fully understood for HC use...it would be hindered...
Okay, if the device is on, then it works. It'll scream and locate. But that's not really good if you've misplaced it and it's not activated. I hope they figure something out soon for HC.
It will also allow you go to go your account online and pick it out on a map via GPS.
I found this specifically for tablets and it works as needed.

thanks! that looks like the ticket..
im on android revolution 2.3.0
1. The URL bar does not work for searching, even if I press the search button on the right first. After I press enter nothing happens. For example I press the search button and type "xda transformer" and press enter. Nothing happens. I am forced to go to google.com and search on the site itself
2. Occasionally the browser closes with no force close message and all my tabs are gone.
3. Is there a way to increase the maximum number of tabs allowed?
4. Not just but any android device I have used and any browser I have used (like dolphin) is an issue where if I click a link that first goes to an advertising site and then redirects to the main link, it says page cannot be displayed on the ad site. For example I get emails from 1saleaday.com which when you click the link goes to an ad site that then is supposed to redirect, but I get page cannot be displayed. This happens on any browser I use and also on my thunderbolt.
Well I fixed the search problem by turning off instant results in the options. No one has any idea on the other three?
Another problem with both dolphin and stock browser is many times you have to press the back button multiple times in order to go back one page.
2. It's a fault of your rom. Revolver has better memory limits. Install auto memory killer from the market and set to optimal.
3. No idea. What is the maximum?
4. Your rom has set ad booking too aggressive. Install adaway from the market and only enable the bottom of the 3 sources.
Revolver rom would solve most of your problems too.
I'm not sure how to handle this, but it's driving me batty! I have a Kindle Fire running Apex Launcher on Hashcode's Cyanogen. I love Chrome but for some reason they didn't include an option to simply open the browser with NO pages. I find myself constantly closing prior pages I've opened before. I'd like to start Chrome up with no pages open (for speed sake).
Not sure if there is some work around that can be done. I tried using Apex to run a single instance of chrome, but this also disables a LOT (not sure what that thread call is used for I guess). I've attempted to locate any command line flags, but doesn't seem Chrome has any or I just don't know what the term is to do a proper web hunt for the info.
You can speak techy to me, I generally can do just about anything to the device.
I've since found the file /data/local/chrome-command-file, but I haven't stumbled upon an option yet that actually works (for this issue, or even as a true to life toggle for chrome android app)
I've tried the following:
--homepage
--disable-sync-tabs
--disable-restore-session-state
--disable-session-storage
--single-instance
--chrome-frame --kiosk
--kiosk
--new-window
I have permissions on the file set correctly (755), it just doesn't seem to be reading the file? Or maybe the android version doesn't have nearly any of the options the Chromium version does?
I have an Asus TF700T. I installed Cyanogenmod 11 which is now upgraded to release M12 (the latest available).
I use both Firefox and the standard browser. Both of them crash frequently. This is especially bad on complex sites like newspaper sites (in desktop mode) but it has happened on other sites. Most often I access the Toronto Star desktop website (thestar.com) with Firefox.
I don't have a lot of apps installed. I use the tablet mostly for web browsing and email (k-9 mail). The mail client works fine.
I have seen complaints about the TF700T crashing elsewhere on the Internet - but most of them are quite old, and they ostly talk about the operating system crashing so it has to be restarted. In my case, the browser stops responding, a cilog box comes up asking if I want to wait or exit, I select wait, and the browser exits. I have never had a crash which required me to power off and start over.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck
