How do you enable air view? I can't find it in the settings
They removed it from the S6 as it was not a very popular feature.

Personally I'm glad they removed it, it's a lag magnet

really? you could always disable it. I never liked Samsung specific implementations but I use it all the time when I'm browsing the web in full desktop mode. it's really useful for mouse hovers to trigger menus, video previews etc. without it I'd be forced to use the mobile version of web sites all the time which I kinda hate. it makes me feel like I'm using a wap browser in 1999 or an iPhone.

Impressive app. Allows for the control of the Xbox360 on the Android phone. Very responsive as long as you have connected the phone and your XboX on the same wifi network, otherwise it's pretty laggy. Using IE on the XboX becomes much more useful in that you can easily scroll and navigate the browser using your Android phone's keyboard and pad app that allows you to scroll horizontally and vertically. Still playing around with it.

I think the name you are using in this post is going to confuse people because it is called Smartglass not project glass

Wish you could listen to voice messages on phone or computer though not just the 360 that is stupid
Not an iPhone.....
So many choices but havent found "the one" yet. Which one do you find to be the best performer?

I recommend boat browser. Flash working, gestures, full screen.
I was using the stock one until recently.
Installed firefox and synced it with my desktop. Has a few quirks but overall its my main browser now.

I'm working with Dolphins Browser. It's fast and fully support flash. For me is this the best browser for Android

Next browser is really good too.

Yes next is very good its my No2 atm, 1st is chrome because I need tabs on top for quick change.
After testing a number of browsers I have to say that the newer versions of Chrome is hard to beat. I love the "swipe between tabs" feature and that it syncs so good with the phone as well as the desktop and laptop.

My choice is firefox.. really smooth surfing on note 10.1
have used chrome much since i use firefox on desktop as well..
It also depends what browser you use most on desktop
The new Chrome v28 works very well.
Chrome for sure. Logged in to the same account on my phone, and my other 3 computers. So where ever I go, or what ever device I'm on, I have all the same tabs open and ready to go. Works flowless.
I'm with Maxthon for years....

Thanks for all the ideas. I've tried most of them, each seems to have its pluses and minuses or one key feature that doesn't work for me. E.g. Chrome works on my banking site but the copy/paste function doesn't work. Firefox won't pinch/zoom for me. Thought Boat browser was going to be the one, thought it was working on my band site bill pay but at the very end it wouldn't submit the payments. Probably all of these problems are User Error.

It's a toss-up between Maxthon HD and the latest Chrome for me... Chrome was terrible originally (despite how bizarre that is), but recent versions have been pretty awesome. Maxthon has always been rock solid. My 2 cents.

chrome is the only browser you need, it syncs your bookmarks between desktop and tablet/mobiles so you never have to save them manually, all the other browsers on the android market don't even do that, i think firefox has this feature too, i have firefox installed for websites that use flash as chrome won't work with them properly.
I may have to try chrome. It has been awhile. Dolphin is good since it plays flash and supports multi window/dual view.

Another thing you may want to try is the stock browser with a different user agent. I've found some sites function better when using the iPad user agent (web designers favor Apple, big shock).
I'm not sure if this works on non-rooted ROMs, but the UAstring option appears under settings after typing about:debug in the stock browser's address bar.

I use the stock browser. Over the years I have tried various browsers, learned the gestures and so on. Each one was quirky. The stock browser just works. I shouldn't have to fiddle with user agents, or gestures or jumoing through rings of fire to read web pages.

A few days ago I bought an Asus Zenfone 2 for my mum and I realised how smooth chrome is on that phone compared to the S6. Anyone else having this issue where chrome isn't really running at 60fps?
Especially when opening and closing tabs, my S6 just drops frames all the time. I'm on 5.0.2 if it matters.
probably something to do with the extremely poor ram management on the S6, as chrome is known to be a resource hog. Zenfone 2 on the other hand has 4GB of ram.
It's not the high end zenfone, it's the dual core version with only 2gb of ram

Try to enable Developer options and raise to 1.5x or 2x each of the three animation settings.
The length of the animation doesn't help anything. I'll post a slow mo video later. The S6 just drops frames so often.

As you can see, the S6 drops so many frames compared to an entry level phone.
Installing the latest 'Android system web view' made chrome smooth on my phone.
I did. Version 45+ for arm and arm64. Didn't help at all
Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk
Ok, today I made a quick browsing session with Chrome, paying attention to smoothness, and can't really say to see something wrong.
I mean, I come from a OnePlus One that was very smooth (custom ROM and kernel) and my S6 is around 99% of that performance.
The heavy debloating I made might help, though.
I also have this lagg in chrome, but i must say its only on resource heavy pages (lots of pictures, adds, banners etc.).
I will reset my device in a few days. Went to the Samsung store and checked out their display units. Some seem to suffer from it while others don't. My phone is also pretty bloat free, only about 3 pages of apps.

Go to Playstore and install latest version of Chrome.

Already on it.
Hmmm....
Try to turn Javascript off from settings. It will make Chrome more smooth.
Yes that actually helps dramatically but it breaks web pages
Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk
Try installing Chrome Samsung Support Library from Play store?

Already have that. Helps a little but still consistently dropping frames. Am I the only one experiencing this?

If you have couple of web pages that need Javascript you can add them to exceptions in settings. But if you visit mainly those pages that necessarily need javascript then this solution is not good.
Trying to use selective text/ photo whatever it's called. On note 4 I could select a group of words from a picture, post etc. and after selecting a T would pop up if I wanted to extract the text and allow me to copy to clipboard. Is this gone or am I just overlooking it. If they took this away that's bs [emoji35]

I've also been searching for this feature. I maybe used it once or twice on my note 4, but it's an incredibly powerful feature and fun to show off. Wouldn't make sense to remove it.

Still haven't found the built in to snote feature; however, apps like TextFairy or Optical Reader essentially do the same thing (just one more step). They also allow to export to snote/pdf. Wouldn't be too bad to add one of them to the air command menu.

Why are my Chrome Incognito tabs closing down after a few hours??
I'm not even closing the Chrome app down so I expect all my sessions to stay in memory and I can continue where I left off. I just go back to the home screen to open some other apps such as Mail and Messages.
I don't think this is be design because Safari on my iPhone keeps ALL my tabs in memory if I've not closed down the app itself.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Is this an Android thing or another bug with One UI?

The phone I've got the issue with is the Galaxy S10e running One UI 2.
Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk
I've narrowed this issue down to Chrome! That's where the issue lies!
I opened the same Incognito tabs on both browsers and left them for a few hours and noticed Chrome had killed the tabs whereas Firefox still remembered them!
God knows when Google are likely to fix something like this so I may just use Firefox for Incognito browsing and Chrome for normal browsing as annoying as that sounds. I still have all my bookmarks synced on Chrome.
Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk
Try kiwi, it is pretty much identical to chrome but with better performance and lack of issues such as this (much lighter on resources as well)
Noticed that even Firefox has the same issue after a while! This seems to be a memory management issue with the OS.
Not quite sure what all the RAM is doing on this phone!

Might have something to do with your power settings.

I don't think so because my phone isn't in any low power mode. Also surely this shouldn't affect keeping things in memory.
My iPhone will keep things in memory regardless of which mode I'm in.
