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!

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.
Hi everyone once again,
After some meddling and experimenting with Google C2DM, here I present you the Cloud Clipboard!
Cloud Clipboard is actually an idea given by a friend of mine. He own a number of android devices and find it rather hard to share simple text across the devices. Therefore, suggesting me to do an application that can share simple text across all the devices as a start.
So what Cloud Clipboard does, is that it links up all the devices that you own together so that, text can be sent across all the linked devices through Google C2DM push services and update the devices clipboard with the latest copy.
It works as if you are copying and pasting from the same device.
Of course, set up is required and simple to complete. All you need to do is just using the same Google account and have a different name for each of your devices and you are set to go!
Grab it from the market now!
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mOcentury.c2dm
Update with a short video demo!
Hello everyone,
Just to let you all know Cloud Clipboard has just been updated with a nice GUI!
Update it now! If you have not get it yet, get it now!
Enjoy!
Awesome idea I like the idea. Ill be trying the app. Does this have the ability to go from desktop to phone and vica versa?

Currently only have support between android devices! Though there might be plans to include push from desktop too (depending on whether i have time to do it)!
I can't find the App in the Android Market , is it uploaded anywhere else ?
For those who spend a lot of time looking at a computer, and can't be bothered to look at their phone very often, Sand Studio has introduced AirDroid, an app that allows users to control their Android Phone from a computer via WiFi.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=WfNnQxpw7Uw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfXRhSIm-m0
The great thing about AirDroid is that it works - it's easy to start up, and functions flawlessly (in my experience). The interface is also very polished - mimicking a desktop launcher complete with moveable icons, a task bar, and controls that allow you to do just about anything.
One of the most impressive features is the ability to access SMS messages, manage them, and send messages right from a web browser. Users can also manage contacts, uninstall/backup apps (AirDroid will download your apps as apk files), browse files, access the Android Market, and manage music and ringtones, in addition to the ability to look at phone information from CPU status to battery level and beyond.
Best of all, AirDroid is completely free from the Android Market. With all the powerful features it offers, this app is certainly worth checking out.
ITS FREE

wish i could send and recieve whatsapp messages from it...
edit: just installed the app..sometimes the app makes the phone go crazy!! i have to logout fro the browser or turn off wifi for the phone to become normal.
This is without a doubt 'the best' app for controlling your phone from your browser. I've installed and played with many and this one tops the lot in my opinion.
It's clean, easy to use, great interface (both on the phone and PC).
Side note: This thread would probably be much better off in General Android Apps and Themes forum - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=530. The app isn't specific an LG Optimus.

It's also available on the official website: http://www.airdroid.com/apk/airdroid_1127.apk
saw this in a google search, was just about to post in the GNote forum....
Anyone else used this? Am very tempted, but concerned of legitimacy of app (never heard of devs and truly paranoid about security )

I'm a little hesitant to try out apps like this as well but they have nothing but good feedback on the market and a good following on both Facebook and Google+, as well as having their own website, so I was happy to give it ago.
@smackdownn Yeah I am with you on the whatsapp, this app is brilliant.
@Nucleotide & SpyderTracks Seriously? Whats the issue with privacy? Scared these devs are going to email or sms your gf while you are out? Either that or learn to hide your porn somewhere that is not your phone. I have said this before on so many occasions, when you were using a nokia/winmo/other NON android phone, they sneakily NEVER asked for permissions, but you installed apps that could pretty much do anything on your phone anyway
This app is by far the best solution I have tried in this regard, it just works and damn well too
@Cornelha
Lol.... I get what you're saying, but I think it's a little naive... the information we hold on smartphones these days compared to "our old nokias" means security is vital. After years of dodgy torrents, malware and hacked accounts, I've learnt to take it a bit more seriously, albeit probably to the extreme

I agree. I don't have anything I would call "sensitive data" on my phone but I do have a lot of contact information such as names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers and other information which although not really sensitive, I still don't want other people to have - especially if I don't know about it. Not only that but apps can track your location, the buttons you press on your phone, numbers dialed, text messages sent, websites you visited, and the list goes on.
With that in mind I take caution when installing any app. I check for things like the amount of reviews on the market, the quality of the reviews (good vs. bad), does the developer have a website, a Facebook page with a good following, and so on.
one of the best app i ever know
good job mate
slow files transfers but great app !
have been using it for about 2 days and I have to say it is great...downloading files takes a very long to though
-love the SMS from desktop feature and comes very handy for different ROM users when putting files on devices
Love this app

i love this app!!!! i wish it would have a feature like an android simulator as well so we can open certain apps like whatsapp via mac/pc...
I have been using Lazy Droid but after using this for couple of days, I have uninstalled Lazy Droid. Nice app. thanks
I love AirDroid!!! It helps me to transfer photos and files from my phone to my PC wirelessly. I don't need to carry my cable anywhere with me. It's a great app. Nice job!
what do you have to install on the PC? if you want to link a PC to smartphone, for example

You don't need to install on the PC. You just need to open the browser and visit web.airdroid.com to log in. Then you can manage you phone on the web. Easy, right?
I am hoping someone can help me, since I am having a problem. The problem is that I am bored with the current "regular" section of apps on the market. I want to find something that is useful (even revolutionary!) but I cant find anything. I dont care about games, photo editing apps, music apps, "juice savers", or any of the other crap available on the market. I am looking for a really cool developer type app that typical users dont care about. My phone is rooted so basically the sky is the limit. Does anyone have any suggestions for me??
Hmmm.. maybe make your own I'll test out for you.. I'm is same boat bored with all the apps. I have all the required software to make apps just not sure where to begin..
I wouldnt be opposed to writing my own, but I am looking for inspiration first. Thats why I want to see some of the innovative apps out there. The problem is there is nothing particularly exciting, from what I can find at least. I am sure there are people who have developed something cool I just need to find it!
Im currently doing some learning ARM/x86 assembly for embedded stuff. Im also currently working with the android kernel. Sometimes i like to sit with my phone instead of a laptop here is a list of apps and stuff i use on the phone to make things go smooth.
(market) droidedit pro - this is the best easiest code editor ive used so far, its light it supports a ton of languages and has sftp and ssh command support. The ssh makes it easy to build stuff on your main remote machine.
(market)x-plore - pretty sweet file manager. it is a double tree view that can connect to the lan ftp and picassa. It also has total root access. I can basically work with any files even on typically read only directorys.
(market)ideterminal - basically the android sdk on your phone along with java compilers and ton of command line goodies.
Add a debian chroot to your phone this opens up so many possibilitys like to vnc into an x server on the phone and compile natively without the hassle of small screen no keyboard.
ssh combined with dropbox is also your friend.

I also mess around with embedded ARM devices for fun. My current project is FreePBX (Asterisk VoIP system) that I installed on a SheevaPlug "plug computer". At the moment I am trying to figure out the best way for me to incorporate my Android devices with that platform. The two apps I like am currently using a lot are:
1) FING. Its basically a network analyzing program that tells you about all devices attached to a network. If you are familiar with the older PC program called [email protected] this is essentially the Android version of that.
2) ConnectBot. A fairly straight forward SSH/Telnet client with a few extras.
I am really on the lookout for these kinds of apps. If you can think of others that might be interesting I would love to know. We have someone similar interests so I am curious what else you like.
If you are at all interested in my PlugPBX deployment you can check it out at the following thread.

I actually had downloaded fing but it wont work on my phone i have no idea what the deal is when i from command line or any program need to ping i get an error like ICMP operation failed, i dont have a problem with any networking software i.e ssh, VNC, remote web desktop (this is a cool toy, makes sms on pc simple also).
Oh ya there is also a dynamic DNS app to so you can use something like no-ip.com and to get a static host name for your phone, for free. Like mike.no-ip.com would connect you to your phone from anywhere, the client program on the phone updates the DNS server that provides your dynamic DNS name. I guess the app is generic and works with most if not all dynamic dns hosts!
Im not really into voip, i just havent ever done anything with it. although i only have 300 minutes and unlimited data so voip may be a good idea, i just dont know any free service.

Which DYDNS app are you using? I have tried a few and none work. Which carrier do you have?
there are many apps being added to the market everday.. u might want to explore them keenly..
Hows it going guys. I'm on these forums as well as many others constantly. I'm constantly trying new stuff (Tools, apps, mods, ROMS, Kernels, etc) and have always wondered what other people from the community used. So if you would post some apps/tools you would recommend for any purpose. Whether it be for games/mods/messaging/etc because I plan on going through and trying everything posted. I might find something very useful i havent before. Anyways thanks for taking the time
App:
Location to download:
Purpose:
Best feature about it:
Well, it is all very individual. One person thinks his app is cool, another will not even look at it. I download everything from android market because several days age I caught a trojan while downloading from Internet - it was some live wallpaper or so. Beware of files where it's written that they may send paid sms.
As for apps:
I liked Explorer+ very very much. It is the best explorer because it's well organized and has a search button.
Next antivirus Avast is awesome. It has inbuilt antytheft and prevents the phone from sending paid sms.
GoldenDict helps me a lot. You may load there your dictionaries you need and use them.
I like Kaiten Mail email client as well. It is simple to use and everything is handy.
OfficeSuite is also nice. I came to android from wm and have windows xp at BB. So it opens all my documents easily without any dances.
Hope it helped. Waiting for your list as well.
PS. I need a substitution for my spb finance and need to convert my 3-year base to android. Can you suggest anything?

Rom: Elegancia ICS (actually v3.3.5) with Sense 3.6

Messenger: WhatsApp / IM+ (Jabber/XMMP-Support)
Navigation: Navigon Mobile (payed) - reliable/stable
Antivirus: Kaspersky Mobile (payed) - really high hit rate
Alarm Clock: Alarm Clock Plus - many features for alarmclock like caculation for shutdown alarm
File Explorer: EStrongs / ES - well-arranged/easy to browse
Webbrowser: Opera Mobile - dunno y
Maybe there are some suggestions for you
I use esfile explore because its easy, free, clean looking and gets the job done, on cm7 roms or cm9 rom I delete the stock file manager..simply because its useless, and just taking up space, instead of having 2 file managers I just keep es and delete the stock. I use wifi tether, everyware I go I have my phone and my tablet, so if I need internet on my tablet or if my freind needs internet for his itouch then I just turn on my wifi hotspot. Apk manager is great for editing system images. Gimp is great for creating images or changing colors for my phone/tablet system. Opera mini is very fast for quick searching unlike most stock browsers, if you don't need flash then go with opera

ColorNote is an app that I use all the time, if you haven't tried it, check it out. It's a good note app, check list, task list, etc. It is attractive and easy to use.
Another app that is good is Bing. I didn't expect to like it but if you are looking for just about anything, it will find it - local stuff, stores, services, movies, web searches, pizza, you name it.
YEHAAA a little bit shameless self advertisement:
You should obviously try SD Maid, which will satisfy all your file handling needs.
And if you are the type that likes to put CPU/RAM etc. usage on his desktop computers wallpaper try Diagnosis.
If you have apps in the market, andlytics is pretty awesome.
Give this a try too, while you sleep.
Titanium backup is a very good tool for all who change there rom very often (like me because of CM9)
Also I like PlayerPro because it has advenatges like sleep timer etc.
