I usually don't have this problem, because I splashtop for my computer for all webbrowsing normally. I'm out of the house on wifi and splashtop dies, so I'm unable to connect to my computer :/ Then I pop up the stock browser to browse here, and work on my schoolwork (Which is a badly coded flash site x.x) Stock browser refuses to recognize flash (for whatever reason, I reinstalled and still no.) Thats out. Download Dolphin, flash works but, button 'Start class' (javascript) refuses to work, and the pages glitch and are wonky. That's out. Opera, won't recognize flash, out. Google chrome beta, crashes instantly, out. Firefox normal, no flash out. Firefox beta new, no flash for Tegra 2, out. Maxthon (my old fav from ARHD) Same problems as Dolphin... Broken buttons/page layouts. I feel like I'm trying to browse the web on my lg cosmos 2 dinosaur phone with all these app related problems (ok exaggeration but still...) The only one I got to work was Skyfire, but it's bugging the crap out of me with page layout and speed. Is there a browser that can perform exactly the same as a desktop browser does? Or at least load pages properly? It's extremely annoying that pages don't load or layout/flash doesn't work. Ugh. I use mozilla on my computer and it works amazingly connected through splashtop, but I need a backup...

Are you stock, non-rooted, etc? Running any custom ROMs or kernels?
I love using dolphin for pad it's really good, fast too.
You can try Boat browser
Dolphin seems to mess up page layout and buttons don't work, but it is the fastest. I don't care about speed.. as much, as having perfectly layed out pages like a desktop browser. I'll check out boat and report back. I'm running Guevor's latest kernel on AOKP b37 euroskank build atm, so yes, rooted rommed cwm whatever's needed.
I know you said that Chrome Beta crashes instantly on your site, but in general it's my go-to browser when something's displaying not-quite correctly on other browsers, since its rendering is derived from desktop Chrome. It works on my university's sites, which are horrible in all of the other browsers I have tried.
If you have a static (or at least infrequently changing) IP address at home, you could try forwarding a port to use Splashtop from anywhere on the internet (expect a performance hit). I do that with Windows' built in Remote Desktop and "Jump Desktop", super useful.
Thanks for the suggestion! I already have that all set up though
It's just kinda slow to use just to quickly look something up, I was hoping that a browser exists that won't super bork webpages.
Hopefully chrome will work in an update
Ok! I keep hoping I'll see some neat way to get my desktop apps on my Surface on here! However, I found a pretty cool solution myself!
First I set up remote desktop with my windows 7 PC and my surface. That was cool. It felt clunky and slow. However, I looked up how to do RemoteApps. I thought it looked complicated but worth it. While stumbling around I found a utility that basically sets it up for you!
1. First setup remote desktop access and free the port for remote desktop. I will not describe it here.
2. I used this utility! Kim Knight's remoteapp tool. Google it. XDA won't let me post a link cause I've never posted before. I just wanted to share my findings.
3. I now can use Utorrent, Photoshop and even my silly Pidgin! Eventually I'm going to use Maya! It works great with hardly any lag! The only lag I get is when I'm saving to my tablet vs the remote computer. I haven't been able to get a browser to work yet but I have invested that much time into it. I'm sure other people will figure it out. Whats cool is Utorrent will save to my tablet. Yah download speeds are slower but expected!
Nice find
This is indeed a great find! I've played with RemoteApps before on the server editions of Windows, but it's quite tricky to get it to work with one server and not a huge enterprise! Being able to use it in this way is just great. Plus we can probably work out an XML file that will populate the apps into the RemoteApp control panel / metro RDP client automatically.
However, I'm having a problem with this on Win 8 (as a host). It seems to all setup ok, but upon connecting (from Win8 or Surface RT) after credentials, cert etc are accepted the RDP client just vanishes. I see Kim Knight's page says it works with Win 8 CP - has anyone tested it with Win 8 RTM? If MS have broken this with Win8 I think I'll have to setup a Win7 box/VM just for this purpose!
I had issues getting it working on Windows 7 pro at work, so i swapped up to Enterprise and it worked great. I haven't tested it at home yet off my system. I haven't used this but for my home fileserver, but you can take it a step further and patch RDP to work for multiple concurrent connections.

RemoteApp Tool requires:
•
Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5
•
Remote Desktop 7 enabled on host
•
Remote Desktop 7 client on client
•
Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate (or Vista Pro or XPproSP3 - untested)

With concurrent connections, can you remote app and use desktop still with same login?
Edit: Tried it myself and it works. So now I can remote app in while I'm still logged in my desktop and it won't boot me off, allowing me to use them simultaneously with the same login.
I can confirm this works with Windows 8 Enterprise, but not Pro. There is, of course, no Ultimate. This is all a bit of a shame as I can't use RemoteApp on my primary home PC, which also runs Media Centre (which can't be added into W8 Enterprise).

Mine keeps booting me off... Asks me to sign out the other user before logging in. Any tips on how you were able to achieve that?

Did you install the concurrent RDP patch?
I installed it on Windows 7 Ultimate and I can use remote apps on my Surface and use desktop at the same time.

I have a post up on how to get this working on Window 8.

Thanks

Brilliant. Worked like a charm. No idea how, without a server running the remote app role, but it does.

RemoteApp is just a remote desktop connection to a specific application, it's been around since Windows XP SP3. It's also how XP mode in Windows 7 does its magic.
I know what remote desktop is! But remoteapp - seamless windowed app on client - is pretty impressive.

The remote app program does work under Windows 8, but you need to run it as administrator otherwise it's crashtastic.
After that it works perfectly.
One other thing is that you should apply the patch to allow multiple co-current remote desktop sessions to work on your machine, here's the patch... http://www.tenniswood.co.uk/technol...current-remote-desktop-sessions-in-windows-8/
That's not legal.

remote desktop help
Hey all, if anyone can help me get remote desktop working on my surface it would be greatly appreciated. If a developer out there could set up an app to get this done easier, could be a moneymaker, I know id pay for it.
After scouring youtube, and the web, I found a lot of different walkthroughs on how to set up a home pc as a remote server. Unfortunately, I really don't know what im doing and cant figure out why it isn't working. Im running WinXP Pro SP3 on a few year old laptop (I bought the thing during the Vista debacle, and down graded to xp for software reasons - I am an architect and needed my AutoCAD and various graphic intensive programs)
These are the steps that I have tried, all to no avail
- I go to control panel, System, Remote, turn on Remote Desktop.
- open Linksys router configuration, and try to set up Port Forwarding
- this is where it really gets confusing for me, and I don't think that I am doing it correct. I know I need to open the port, I go to Applications and Gaming, and enter RDP, Im not sure of the port number, and what else to do here
- cmd, ipconfig - I enter all information - ip address, DNS, Gateway, etc?
I then found out that in order to really get this working, I needed a static IP address - Im not sure how to do this, but I found a couple posts, and a youtube video suggesting using DynDNS to get this working as a host. I signed up, and am still not able to connect.
Any help would be appreciated - Im not great with this stuff.....I never really played with networking, before....Please help me get my Surface working. Its possible im not entering the address correctly in the Surface Remote Desktop App.
Thank You!!
If the surface is on your home wifi, it should be able to rdp (remote desktop) to the XP system no problem.
Only need the router ip mapping / translation if using the Surface outside the house on another Internet connection
....thought it would be a good idea for us to begin posting examples of unresponsive links, pop-ups and menus that would normally otherwise work on Full Windows versions.
Hopefully others can confirm whether or not they work on their Surface RTs, and some of the more tech-savvy members can check out the links and we can find some permanent fixes to them!
Getting started....

Click on the day (Tuesday) on the right, then click on any car. A picture of the car and its bio should pop-up. I have not been able to do so on a Surface.

Try choosing a region. I've found the menus to be inoperable.
Windows not wanting competing browsers magnifies this issue,...so if you notice the same, please reply.
Hulu doesn't work on desktop or metro ie. Any menu's built with hover are an issue.
www.wallstreetsurvivor.com/dashboard If you have an account, the site is practically unusable. Their "custom" dropdowns don't show. They show on every browser, the iPad, etc., internet explorer on everything but Windows RT.

I have IE set to open everything in the desktop mode and Hulu works fine. All menus work, the videos play.

We are speaking about using touch not using the touch cover or other input device. If the web menus are built using the hover function they do not work with touch.
... "we" are? I see a thread about differences between Windows RT and "full" versions, not a thread about differences between touch and other inputs. You can use touch with "full" Windows (there have existed touch-based Windows tablets for years, before NT was ever ported to ARM), and you can use a conventional pointing device (USB mouse, Bluetooth mouse, Touch/Type cover trackpad, voice-controlled mouse movement, etc.) with Windows RT.
hello guys, I wanna ask you about android gingerbread browser (not specifically for GB, but that runs well) that can browse and download on secure sites with troubled ssl certificates. but I maybe also gonna discuss about opera mobile a lot.
I've tried a bunch of top notch browsers, and Opera Mobile happen to be the closest to perfection.
on the first attempt most browsers fail to load the site, it just trying to load all the time. like trying to do something that they don't know how to do it.
for smarter browsers that notice the problematic certificate, it prompt an action and allow us to browse. but not with downloading. it seems like it only use the ssl-notice-and-allow intelligence to browse and left behind the downloading part. make it looks like a smart-stupid split personality for browse-download activity.
for firefox : F***ING LAG, don't bother trying.
On the other hand Opera Mobile use the intelligence for both activities. if not because of the utter crap download manager, the browser could be the best.
Opera, while developing some of their apps for android all this time, they still have no idea on how the download manager works on android. maybe they still stuck on java j2me environtment mindset.
They have NO DOWNLOAD NOTIFICATION for all of their apps. they also unaware of the android system's slaughtering for apps that running in the background. So when we downloading some files then we leave it for some while, when we go back to the apps there are 3 possibilities :
1 - the download still running good, lucky you
2 - the download interrupted and fail, this will likely to happen
3 - the apps killed and reloaded with failed download, the only special abilities that Opera apps have
The hell? How could I enjoy my multitasking device with these conditions?
any suggestions for good browser out there?
check with downloading idm from this link:

My job requires company access to an intranet site that requires IE for access. Their solution for mobile needs is to haul an IE-equipped laptop around, but I obviously would rather connect in the field with my tablet via VPN.
All the solutions I've found via searching online have ranged from "you can't do that" to a virtual desktop that's way out of reach for in individual user. And due to the way the sites are built, only IE will work. This is not about choosing a different browser.
So does anybody know if any work is being done for those of us needing to use/emulate IE on our tablets? I know from my google searches that this is a common problem, so hopefully somebody is working on it.
I think that the only thing you can do is to have a laptop or a desktop at home with IE and access it through something like Splashtop.
You can also enable Wake-on-Lan on that PC so that it can stay off and it turns on only when you need it.
Check out Opera. I'm not sure about the Android version, but the desktop versions allow you to change the user agent (a string included with every page request that includes the OS you are using, browser, browser version, rendering engine, etc.) so that it looks to other websites like you're using IE. I'm pretty sure Dolphin also has this, and I know that there is an extension for Firefox that can do this, too. Whether or not it will work in your case, I can't guarantee, but it's worth a shot.
Solution!
The "desktop user agent" in the Dolphin browser app did the trick. Thanks to those who replied with suggestions.
