[Q] Opera mobile

Hello all ! Well I use to use Ninesky but I wanted to give a try to Opera mobile.
I also like it but I'm wondering... why can't it play videos on Youtube ?
Thanks for your informations.

I use dolphin HD and it can play videos and its a lot faster than opera.

Actually Ninesky can too. ;-) But I would like to know why Youtube's video cannot be played with Opera mobile.
Sorry for being curious about that.

If you play it from m.youtube.com, it will shows error something like "the protocol is not supported"
But if you open www.youtube.com (desktop version) the video can be played

I think it depends on which user agent you use. In advanced options you can choose if you want to use 'desktop' or 'mobile'.
Also in advanced option you can choose if Abode Flash files should be opend after clicking on it, automaticaly or you can turn flash off.
I'm sure that opera mobile can play videos from youtube and other tubes too

Yes it says something like that but do you know why ? Why Opera don't support that protocol in mobile user agent ?

my guess is that opera does not support flash, or doesn't come with the plugin.

Actually I was very happy with the option of using Desktop Agent, because many sites redirect you to mobile version if they detect stock browser or other mobile browsers, and the mobile version is very different and in some cases very limited.
But with the option Desktop Agent as far as I know any kind of tube works flawlessly. As for Dolphin, perhaps it's matter of ROMs, but in my experience it turned slower than Opera.

Chrome, chrome, chrome.....

Ordered my nexus 7 (x2) as soon as there was a button on the UK website. Now I know chrome is the default browser, so I thought sweet, I'll install it on my a500 so I can get used to it before the tab arrive's.
Omg, what a piece of rubbish, every time I change tabs from XDA to another site the page is just plain white, then back to XDA since it was already tabbed and loaded you'd assume it would still be, but no. Its plain white. Then to piss me off even more halve way though writing this post it crashed lol! What kind of a browser crashes inputting text lol. I wanted to like it, in fact I do like the interface but the bugs are just not fun!
uninstalling that crap and going with the good old opera
Anyone else having probs with it ?
Fox

I'll just, use dolphin HD as I have been for awhile.

You must have something wrong with your A500, because that's not the experience I get on my Xoom or Galaxy Nexus...

The plain ol' Browser will be on the Market for download. I have no idea why Chrome is the default browser.

I don't know about A500 roms but to me it sounds like a memory issue or something, its sort of "killing" tabs to save memory and then reloading them once you need them again. Maybe some background processes eating memory?

Yeah I don't even have that problem on my Skyrocket. Chrome rocks.

It does crash occasionly if you keep getting a white page it can clear by going back a page then trying again if not close it then task kill it after that it will be fine.
Overall I find it to be far better than std browser.

I'm a very "clean user" I have fb opera order and chaos, that's it. thinking though maybe one of the processes I have disabled, chrome uses, I disable everything I don't use, camera Calender live wp themes etc, maybe that's the issue?

It don't crash for me at all...works fine and it doesn't look bad enough to use something else

Chrome runs perfectly on my Galaxy Note without any problems with tabs and, whilst there isn't flash support, I love it because of how it easily syncs my bookmarks from my computer.

Stock ICS Rom.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

I won't be using Chrome much on my N7 much if at all just simply because of the lack of adobe flash player support. Dolphin HD seems like a much better option.

I'm on the desire z, pretty old low ram, runs very very well on wifi.. 3g is iffy

Is Chrome open source?

Chrome still needs work. Use opera, or dolphin. Both are extremely fast and a lot less buggy.

Which is the best calendar app?

Hey everyone, i've been trying a lots of calendar apps since having this phone. With Android 2.2/2.3 i used the stock calendar, mostly because of its very good 4x3 widget. Now on ICS this widget has gone, and i am still searching for a proper replacement. Currently i am using digical, a long time acalendar was my choice. But only Digical+ has exactly the widget i am searching for, a 4x3 month view with events displayed. But about 5€ are waaay to expensive for a calendar app.
This widget size is of much importance to me because i am also using a birthday app with a 4x1 widget.
Are there any suggestions? Is there any app i didnt stumble over yet? What are you using?
Help would really be appreciated.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app

I use Business Calendar Free (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=netgenius.bizcal&hl=de) and I'm very happy with it. There are dozens of widgets of which you can choose, even in free mode. Don't exactly know about the 4x3, I'm using the 4x4 weekly view.

I don't see why 5 EUR is too much? Good software is as important as decent hardware.
Anyway, I tried tens of calendar apps and ended up with the paid version of Business calendar (try free first).

Now i am using business calendar. It has the needed 4x3 widget. And it has some great and usefull settings, even in free version. Thank you for that tip!

If you want a good calender application just search "simple calendar widget". It is for free avaliable in the play store.
Must have app :thumbup:

It's already ported; it's the apw, android pro widgets, which I posted here before. It's paid, but I really like it. I don't have to much paid apps, just apw and swiftkey, and I can suggest you to buy apw because it's really lightweight and beautiful

Wanted to share with you a flashable zip I made which deletes the stock ICS LG Browser (which in my opinion sucks) and replaces it with google's AOSP ics browser. Its lighter, has a darker UI and I only tried it for a few hours but I can say its quite snappy and smooth.
I'll atach two flashables, AOSP and LG (in case you want to return to that crappy LG stuff... lol)

But dude the stock LGBrowser is fast and nice!I think its more suitable to upload a full black version only?Just Sayin

Oh well... I hate LG and all the crappy software he makes
So I prefer to keep my phone as close to stock google's ics as possible.
Anyways I assure you this is even faster and nicer ^^

Just try it and let me know what you guys think =)

There are many system apps you can get from an old CM9 unofficial build. They work on IZS, I've done it before (I did it on IZS v0.4).
Sms, gallery, android browser, calculator, calendar (I think), and I can't remember more xD

On IZS v0.4 yes, it works fine (I don't know if it works on IZS v1.1, because I no longer use IZS)
But pop-up notification is only on JB.

thx man it's really better

How come Chrome is running in the background?

Half of the time chrome runs in background.
Even if background activity is turned off for this app.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Didn't notice that anomaly with other apps.

Do either of you happen to use the Google app itself for you feed? If you do, when you click on a feed, it'll open it up in a mini version of chrome that's a bridge between the Google app and Google chrome.

Apps continuously running in the background is the first thing I noticed when I upgraded to one UI beta. The stock email app was one major culprit for myself.

I don't use feeds, assistant or search and Google app is among disabled apps.
Something else is using chrome.

It maybe a glitch in Pie. I would recommend that you report this issue to Samsung. I am running the latest edition of Oreo and Chrome is never running in the background. As I never use it.

Samsung internet is doing it too. Wonder if it's because of using Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram in the web browser instead of using their apps. Did that to see if there was an increase in battery life, but I'm not seeing a major difference and will probably install the apps back. View attachment 4709226

If you don't close that app it'll run in the background indefinitely with Facebook Twitter etc.
