Hi Guys..
I have installed Fennec.. Mozilla's offering into the Win Mo browser market...
has anyone else tried it out at all? at first glance it seems quite good but unsure what pitfalls there are to using this.
Ta
i tried it, but its not finished yet. nearly nothing works and its very slow.
i'm waiting for it too, but mozilla is making verly little progress on that.
you should really try opera 10 beta 3, its the best browser for the hd2
at this time, i think!
No! Opera Mini 5 Beta 2 is the best browser! It's soooooo fast! Much faster than Opera Mobile (no matter what version)!
not tried a nightly of fennec for a while, been watching the progress of the maemo version though.
Maemeingast everyone is entitled to their opinion, personally I think mini is a pile of java poo

LOL
And why is that?
(Just interested in why some people don't like Opera Mini eventhough it's so fast and even has the same interface as Opera Mobile.)
had a look at the latest 1.1a1 nightlies, (both 1.9.2 and 1.9.3)
and it's starting pretty fast (after the first time it takes ages during setup).
Pretty responsive now with moving around etc now which i a huge improvement, but still can't get it to load a website!
its also not cleaning up properly i dont think.. for example it wont restart unless you soft reset

I'm not really struck on opera mobile 10, don't like java very much, and dislike intermediate server rendering of what I'm looking at
at least teh opera mobile has an option to turn "turbo" off
fwiw I love opera desktop. 10.50 is ace
I am a Touch Pro 2 user and two of my buddy's got there HD2 after coming from Android devices MyTouch and G1. They called me up and I hooked them up with everything Windows Mobile. But apparently they claimed that Skyfire slowed down there HD2 and they both uninstalled it. Does it have anything to do with me bluetoothing the Skyfire 1.5 cab I downloaded off of my Touch Pro 2? And has anyone noticed anything odd with Skyfire? I haven't seen this in person, I am just going off of what they told me.

Yup. Same problem here, in fact, it won't even fully install sometimes. Locks up the device.
I use skyfire on my HD2 and it runs fine. I have the newer version though I believe it is 2. something.
Just download the latest Skyfire .cab from www.skyfire.com and it gave me version 1.5 on my Touch Pro 2. Can anyone confirm this on an HD2?
this is the version I have
I downloaded my version from the Skyfire site to my PC and then dumped the cab on my phone. Worked GREAT for a day or so, but then noticed lots of hanging and freezing whenever I launched it. After several resets, I uninstalled it. It's a shame, though, as, when it worked, it worked really well. It was noticeably faster than Opera, supported Flash (albeit with somewhat choppy and hit-or-miss results), and had a generally nice interface. Hope it's something I can go back to in the near future.
very strange for a device that has 1000MHz of power. Skyfire is a hog, but could not image it bogging down an HD2. Something is not right here...
First of all, sorry if this isn't the right section.
I couldn't find anything relevant, so i ask here: has anybody a standard FroYo browser.apk to use on the tab? Will it work?
Or really, any other browser....
For what it's worth, i'm on a Samsung JK5 rom (euro tab), i have root and number22's gallery3d.apk
Thanks in advance for any help
U should try dolphin mini browser available from the market

What do you miss about the standard browser? I don't care for the samsung browser much myself. I found that miren browser is a great replacement.
Hope this helps
Thanks for the help. However i didn't mean an extra browser like the mentioned Miren or Dolphin (nor Opera or Firefox or SkyFire)... I meant literally a replacement for the stock browser
What i don't like in the stock one is that it force closes pretty much while doing anything!
Now, i don't know if replacing browser.apk will also fix globally the issue, but i sure hope so considering that any WebKit browser i used still shows signs of unstability, as opposed to the same browsers on an Xperia X10 mini pro... That runs a normal Android browser. At the moment i'm using Opera mobile because it's the best one that dosen't run on WebKit, and as such it gains plenty of reliability. I also get all my bookmarks (epic, i tell you) since i've been a desktop Opera user for 10 or something years, but that dosen't fix the built in one, that... Well, let's just say that Apple made a damn fine rendering engine.
So, any more help? If what i think is right, after replacing the "Samsung" one with the standard "Google" one it will make every other browser work properly!

Yup stock browser sucks,I don't think that it will get much better until honeycomb gets ported to the tab. I would also advise you to try dolphin mini in the meantime.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk
Thanks, i gave a try to Dolphin Mini and while it looks better than the hd one, it still crashes too easily. I do have half an idea to make a test...

You say you're using Opera mobile, so whats the problem? just don't use the stock browser then.
The only problem I have with Opera Mobile, is that is has no flash support. For the rest it's perfect(and really fast).

Sure, i'm using Opera and i get even more features than any other mobile browser, not to mention that i'm with Apple on the Flash subject, but... Put things in perspective: why my Xperia X10 mini has to be the best choice all around for web surfing with a smaller screen, slower cpu, one fourth of the ram and an older WebKit build? On the tab the only sensible choices are Opera, Firefox and Skyfire, as all the others are tainted by the (as usual) horrible coding that Samsung is famous for. And for what? They added support for animated gifs, almost as useless as Flash. I would've used the Xperia browser, but Sony customized it to look blue-ish like the rest of their interface, so i'm sure it will require that whole interface to run! Also, i changed the Samsung ruined gallery app with custom gallery 3d, and now it's a lot faster and it handles properly images.
I could use a custom rom(one built without the Samsung-iness and stable). I could. Thing is, i like the interface Samsung cooked up, it's this close to my idea of perfection, and no home replacement gets even close to this, not even ADW ex.

the 3d gallery app is the same as the HTC google nexus one has

Wait, i'm not sure i get it. So the gallery became a lot worse in Froyo compared to the one in Donut but it gained animated gifs? Or it got more organized and Samsung broke something after adding the whole gif thing?
Custom one works perfectly and has no gifs... As far as i know gifs are an exclusive to Sense and TouchWiz.

Opera mobile on the desire z is rapid, the panning is so quick and renders as it zooms for quick reading. The performance isn't as good on my friends evo 3d and I'm concerned I might not take much of a leap forward in browser experience with the note if it suffers like the evo 3d.
The browsing experience on Ics isn't that great yet and poor for opera mobile compared to GB, so I'm also looking for a phone that will perform well with ICS (I presume the note will)
Does anyone have any footage or general comparison conclusions between the different browsers on the note?
Thanks in advance.

I own a note. I have tried every browser I know of, and opera mobile is still my day to day driver. Its smoother than anything else when loading big sites like engadget (not the mobile version) and I really enjoy the way it renders fonts.
I'm terribly sorry to hijack the thread, but do you find as fast when enabling Opera Turbo on 3G?
I am no expert on this, and do little browsing on my phone, but when I do, OM seems the best of all. I especially like that reflow of text to the screen. That seems to work regardless of what else may be on the screen, which is great (meaning I do not have to think).
Regarding performance, it certainly works fast enough for me, but I am not a speed junkie.
I too find OM to be the best for my needs. Primarily the pinch to zoom with auto text reflow is crucial to me and none of the others seems to have this feature. Some websites do not allow pinch to zoom whereas most do.
One issue I have with OM is when I am on a website is that it closes every time I switch from portrait to landscape. Every time!
When I launch OM again, it goes back to the webiste I was trying to view in landscape.
Is anyone else haveing this experience and is there a way to fix it?
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but that is not the fox.

Hi !
"New" Dolphin Beta ? Which one ?
Thanks.
I think UC browser is quite nice using it daily.

I hate opera and dolphin and firefox and stock. I can't wait for the ICS update and use android stock or chrome.
I used to use Miren Browser but can't find it anymore in the market.
I am happy using 2 of the browsers
1. SimBrowse ( My own Developed one)
2. Firefox
They keep me alive for most of the time, and I am happy using them

Hi,
I bought yesterday my galaxy s6. Everything was going fine, the new touchwiz looks really beaultifull, the screen was the best display I ever seen, the fingerprint sensor works great, etc.
Nevertheless, i noticed a stuttering/scrolling lag in almost every app. For example: scrolling up and down on whatsapp chats stutters every time. It is not smooth as my old iphone 5. On instagram, facebook, contacts, playstore, occurs the same problem... they are not heavy apps, I can not really understand why it is happening. It is bothering me and I will come back to apple if this problems persists.
Anyone have an idea about how to make it work perfectly as a gadget called "the next big thing" and that costs US$ 800 should?
I'm thinking in try to root and install a debloated room, but I will probably lost my warratie if I do this
Hey so while playing with some settings to try and prevent my apps from being killed so aggressively, I noticed that by limiting the amount of background process you can limit the amount of stutter. I have it set to "at most 4 processes" and I've noticed a vast improvement in the stuttering in apps. Just enable developer options and scroll all the way to the bottom and it should be there. Hope that helps!

1.Turn off power saving mode it causes glitches
2. Iphones have smoother scrolls than android becoz of optimisation of ui
Sent from my SM-G920I using XDA Free mobile app
in general, iphones are smoother in 3rd party apps, because of the optimization, and in facebook if you give it a couple of seconds to make it load everything then it wont lag or stutter, in twitter it does stutter......in contacts app there is no lag at all.....i am using the phone for about two and a half weeks.....
Hi everyone! I tried all the solutions that you mentioned... yesterday I tried many configurations and I realized that the main cause for the scrolling lag seems to be the google apps... I reset the phone 3 times and in my last try I installed whatsapp, configurated my e-mails, instagram and facebook was ok. But when I installed the play store, everything start to have lag/stutter.
Does anyone also noticed this?
It is important to mention that, even when the system was "good", when I was scrolling, I realized a slight stutter. It is really hard to accept that android will never be smooth as iOS. This galaxy s6 has a much much better specifications than apple's phone costs the same price.

I tried to find a solution via xda and other forums and didn't the solution. I understood that this stutter is caused by the UI of Android, which loads the information different from in iOS. However, I didn't find any solution as you mentioned. Could you please post the link?

You should stop comparing android and ios, what ios does is loads everything first then displays and android does both at the same time, ios has too much optimisation to solve each and every smallest issue and they have enough time too as they have only 2 devices a year , though when you get a highly functional and customizable UI like android some stutter is understood in fact we users dont even notice it. Both ios and android are made differently they funtion differently and are made to please different types of customers android focuses more on funtions and features which are at much higher level than ios! Let me give you an example , even if you buy one of the best laptops you will still find stutter because the UI is too complex to work smoothly on the level of ios! If you know a little about coding you would have an idea that smaller the code smoother the program is and thats what ios does plus it has optimisation. My advice would be you would get used to it just ignore it and you will stop even noticing it plus you wpuld admire theore functional andrpid UI!

And they scroll much slower / more limited. Try to scroll through a long list or webpage with just one or two swipes - it's almost impossible on iOS because there seems to be a hard limit how far you can go with one swipe. This can be really annoying in daily usage if you want to get to the bottom of something, but also means that it has to load less content at once which makes it look smoother.

So the android will never be smooth as iOS? It's really hard to understand the reason. For example, windows phones is smooth as iOS and was made to work with several hardwares.
There is any way or app that could help the scrolling by slowing down as you told?

See stutter is only seen in 3rd party apps which are made by other developers and not google ,you wont see them in preloaded apps,so it would be wrong to blame android for that and there is no connection to hardware, windows again is less complicated than android and hence better smoothness so the best would be ignore it you wont even notice after a few days !

I'll never stop comparing android with ios.
My old galaxy s4 (FlexOs rom) was as smooth as my girlfriends iphone 5, and faster opening apps.
unfortunately wifi and bluetooth stopped working after 2 years
So, what I did?
I bought the new galaxy s6 hopping it was smoother than galaxy s4.
Everything is really faster. But scrolling is driving me crazy.
I Don't care if both ios and android are made differently and function differently and are made to please different types of customers.
I could scroll with s4 and I can't anymore with s6.
Its not true that Android never became smooth as IOS.
I switched from Nexus 5 to S6 and its a Samsung Problem. My Nexus 5 ist smooth all the Time! On Play Store and Facebook.... I compared with Iphone 6 and its really Smooth. Xperia z3 ist near on Nexus 5 smoothnes. Try it by yourself you will see.
Maybe Samsung have to ask Sony how to make the you UI smooth as Xperia UI in my Opinion.
Totally agree, it's Samsung causing the stutter.
My girlfriend has Xperia Z3 Compact and it runs smooth.
S6 stutters a great deal compared to her Z3 and especially my Nexus 5.
I still use the Nexus 5 although the S6 has a better camera, display and sound.
Stock android fully optimized for S6 (option to use Samsung camera app) is what I'm looking for, any tips?
