I have a slight problem which I can't fix. Whenever I open dolphin browser hd the Google homepage opens up even though I have the homepage set as new tab. Also Google will randomly open on a new tab while I am browsing on another tab. I tried changing all various settings and it didn't fix it. I even tried downloading Firefox and that worked fine until when I closed and then opened it again it came up with the Google homepage!
I have no idea what the problem could be. I need help please!

Try clearing the cache and data for your browser. It should work perfectly after that.
Hit thanks if i have helped you in any way!!

Hi,
I've been using Xscope for a couple of weeks, and really like it. Everything was working with it, including Flash, until today.
Today, when I try to access any webpages with Flash content, instead of the flash content, I get black boxes in those areas.
I've tried resetting Xscope to default, and also uninstalled it and re-installed it, but still no flash.
I also have tested with the default browser and Dolphin mini, and flash still works with those two other browsers, but I'd really like to have flash working with Xscope again.
Has anyone encountered this problem, or does any know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Jim

Hmmmmm... I just noticed the same thing.
Running stock, not rooted.
Same here, on all my browsers actually. I reinstalled the .apk and it appears to be working on stock and xcsope now. I wonder why it stopped in the first place?

Tried that. Still no good in xScope.
Reinstall Flash then you need to kill xscope in task manager or force close it in settings->applications to force it to restart.

I just did this and still no good. I'll try again.
Question here: I am new at xScope, but isn't closing xScope from the "OFF" button on its toolbar enough to shut it down and then it will restart the next time you use it?
No, you will need to close it completely as turning it off will keep the browsers caches for files like "flash" open.
When all else fails... reboot.

Well... I force closed xScope. I cleared xScope's cache. I uninstalled Flash. I reinstalled Flash. Rebooted. Still no good. I get the black box in place of Flash. Once I did get a Flash at Staple's site but later I only got the black box there too.

Okay, I've never seen that nor heard anybody else report this issue. So no ideas here, sorry. Maybe clear all data for xScope, assuming you don't have anything too important in there? You can always back up the app data in Titanium Backup first, then try that to see if it helps...
Hi,
Can you all check what Xscope version you have? I didn't note the version I originally installed, but I'm wondering if an update was somehow applied. Current version on my Gtab shows 6.37. *I tried to contact the developer, but no response, plus their forum has only spam for last couple of weeks ...
Also, I don't know if I'm imagining, but xscope seems a little slower loading pages since the same time...

Mine shows v6.21. I downloaded it from the developer's site (Trial). It did not change since I installed it about a week or so ago.

Thanks for checking... Since you're on 6.21, and it was working before, it's probably not a problem with an update ...

It looks like I am getting somewhere:
Using xScope I went to the Staples site and tapped the "Load Flash Arrow". The Flash box turned black.
I tapped the Menu soft key (which removed the tab bar at the top and the command bar at the bottom). The Flash box displayed properly.
I tapped the Menu soft key again (which brought back the Tab bar at the top and the command bar at the bottom). The Flash box turned all black.
This behavior appears to be consistent on several sites with Flash.
Wow! You're right, and it does that even with the 'on' setting.
Why would this have changed from before?
Same here. That trick at least got the news feeds working but only w xscope flash is not working at all with dolphin nor the stock browser where as it was a few days ago.
What has happened?

For me, Flash is still working with dolphin mini, miren, and the default browser. The only browser that's a problem is xscope. Have you tried re-installing Flash?

Do I need to reinstall?

I don't know for sure since we don't know why it stopped working. Might not hurt to re-install the one linked on the Viewsonic favorites page.
I recently installed MIUI v 1.9.30, and despite my previous experiences with MIUI I really like this one, despite one thing.
I've found that while on 3G (Bell Mobility Canada), I can download from the Market and browse Facebook, but I cannot use the browser (Charming Browser). When attempting to load Google, for example, the loading bar will progress about 10% and then stop there.....
Funny thing is, when using Dolphin Browser the same thing occurs, and it gives a webpage cannot be displayed error. I've tried looking in both browser settings but I can't figure it out, because they work fine on WIFI.
Has anyone experienced anything like this?
Clear cookies and other browsing history and then retry bud

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it didn't help =/
I went as fat as trying a factory reset and the problem still occurred. I posted asking for help on the miui website but haven't gotten any response yet.

I know there is a manual way of clearing cache and history, but even that doesn't make the browser forget the previous session...

The simple solution is to install Dolphin HD Browser from Google Play and set it as the default browser. There are loads of cool plug-ins for Dolphin won Play too. Like the Evernote plug-in that lets you post directly from Dolphin.

Eh, I have uninstalled (or hidden, don't really know) quite some apps using this method:
Forumpost on XDA about unbloating without root
(XDA) Uninstall bloat without root
However, I encounter a small issue now. I also uninstalled this Browser from Vivo. Mainly because of the overkill of chinese in it, as well as that I (obviously) didn't use it, and I couldn't really avoid it. (switching the default browser to Chrome seemed to work, but whenever you leave that setting-screen and come back to it, this Vivo Browser is back in place. Uninstalling using the above helped, but now I encounter another issue. This Browser also was malfunctioning with certain radiobuttons on websites, which also made me not use it for login on certain public wifi's where I am regularly. However, without the Browser, I can't seem to let Chrome open in order to guide me to the Wifi login screen at all. Sometimes, on some wifi's, the redirect works (so I just open google.com in Chrome, and I get redirected to the login page straight away), but on some wifi's that is not happening. When in the Wifi-setting-screen I tap on "Tap here to authenticate", nothing happens....Anyone an idea?

You should be able to do the same with the browser as you did with the launcher, set the browser as default.

True, I found the setting. However, whenever I leave that settings window (after setting the default browser to Chrome), and come back to it later, I see that it has swapped back to the Vivo browser. And for stuff like publicwifilogin I still got this vivo browser (and that caused some issues since it has issues with certain radiobuttons)...
Hi, not sure if I've debloated something that Chrome needs but browsing is fine, but when I try share a webpage Chrome crashes everytime any site if I try share... any ideas? thanks
If I install a different browser the share option works fine, but not in Chrome, seems there is some dependency app or something that chrome needs to link with the sharing function...? dunno. Unless there is just a bug in Chrome?
Needs Huawei Share...
Thanks yes it was the 2 Huawei share apps.

Have you tried Samsung internet browser? I have to say it's stellar, dark mode throughout, ad blocking, rapid with no overheads.
Truly the best browser I've ever used on Android
No bookmarks sync so that's the downside.
Chrome can still be used but the comparison is night and day.
The data harvesting that Chrome takes is truly horrific. They want everything.
Google have gone too far.
Ps: in regards to sharing, if you're using an ad blocker then that can cause havoc.
Turn it off and retry.
Or go incognito and retry. Incognito will mimic a perfectly blame browser.
Was my own fault, had deleted the Huawei share all which is needed to share, so reinstalled using adb and all sorted out, thanks.
