Trying to keep browser open in background so I can stream while texting and stuff.

Any way at all to keep browser open in background so that I can lock it and have something streaming still? I've been listening to radio 1 from the BBC and I always have to keep it unlocked and have the browser open....

Use skyfire.

Nope. I'm curious as to why no one else has posted this before. I stream music and I don't want my battery to be drained cause of the screen being on. Is there a setting in sky fire that I am missing?

what browser r u using for KFHD?

I've tried some browsers but not i could not find perfect one.
Silk, firefox : somewhat slow laggy and i do not like the interface.
Chrome, opera beta, etc : when scrolling down, the screen is not scrolling down, but just jump and stop to down
Scrolling up is fine. I donno why it happens.
Boat, uc, and some others : when i open a page which is kind long, it shows from the middle.
I have to scroll up for reading from the top.
What browser r u guys using without problems?

Thank you guys for the suggestion.
I tried Dolphin and Tint, but none of them works properly.
Same issue, I open a page, then it shows on the middle (or sometimes end) of the page. I always scroll up to the top for reading.
Do you guys have same issue with Dolphin or Tint?
Or only I have the problem?

Well i used to have the same problems as you so i had chrome for daily use because it syncs bookmarks with my PC, It's main downside is that it doesn't support flash which is a big deal to me so i also had firefox installed for if i needed flash player.
But then hashcode released CM10.1 and WOW, JUST WOW, it has an AOSP browser and god this browser is GREAT, it's basically exactly like Chrome for Android and syncs bookmarks too but runs noticeably smoother in every way. It even lets you choose a user agent so you can fool websites into thinking you are browsing from desktop PC, Android, iPhone or iPad, It also supports flash and you can play youtube videos directly from the website instead of launching your video player app.
I pulled it for you from system/app, But i don't know if it's compatible with stock ROM
Give it a try.

It won't work. Since amazon's stock ROM is ICS, Jellybean system apps won't work.

Any way to stream Netflix as a regular tab?

As a work around for using Netflix outside of the USA.
I can use Netflix USA very easily on my pc but I haven't figured out how to do it with the chromecast.
I don't have a fancy router and standard vpns don't seem to work.
So maybe if one could cast the Netflix tab on the browser as a "regular" tab, instead of rerouting it to the Netflix app on the chromecast.. Anyone thought of a way to do this?

Have you tried casting the chrome tab that you are playing Netflix in instead of hitting the cast button in the Netflix player?

Yeah it doesn't work, it will redirect it to Netflix app.
If you hit learn more, it will show that it doesn't support plug-ins like silverlight or QuickTime.
Maybe once Netflix switches to html 5

I knew I had done this before so I played it with some. I was able to get video to cast but it wouldn't send audio. I guess when I played with it before I saw the video and went along my way. Maybe use google remote desktop and login to another machine and play netflix while casting the remote tab? Its not perfect and its far from pretty but it works.

Hahahahah well I guess it DOES work, but my wifi is far too slow to handle it properly.
Interesting enough, the cast entire screen feature works okay for me (some lags here and there, could be performance issues because of my low end laptop) , but it's watchable.
If only it had freaking sound.
Oh well the remote desktop app didn't have sound at first either.

Works fine for me but I have to bump it down to 480p. From my chromebook.

A router that can support Linux commands is not all that expensive. You might want to look into that again.

Torrents and chromecast

Hey I recently got my awesome chromecast in the mail. I was wanting to start using Amazon prime instant video, but for now I was wanting to use my downloaded movies. I know I need a computer to do most casting but I don't have access to one at the moment. I looked online to see how I could steam my own files. It took to a download page to air cast apk. But when I tap on it it immediately goes back to my home screen. Like opens up real fast and stops. I checked two locations and the same thing happened. For the time being what can I do ?

Chrome Mobile Beta and Chromecast

I'm sure by now some people are playing around with Chrome Beta on android and it's Chromecast function.. if not, within Chrome Beta's Url type
chrome://flags/#enable-cast
Enable the option and restart browser for change to update. Haven't seen any posts on this yet...but not why I'm posting it now.. I've followed the instructions to a T. However, the Chromecast icon never appears in any video... can someone post a link to a video that know works so I can figure out if it's me or just the ultra beta nature of it?

I am yet to successfully stream a video using Chrome Beta. Chromecast icon only shows while in fullscreen video mode, it connects, but doesn't stream. Maybe others had more luck with it.

Huh, thanks for the info... in the videos I've seen and or articles I've read no one bothered to mention that..
Though I thought I saw a YouTube of the icon appearing in chrome while viewing video while it was embedded....It was late and I was tired..could be wrong.
Google admits it to being pre-beta so I'm not complaining...just would like one working example...

I've gotten it to work several times on my Nexus 10, but it can be a little finicky. Confirmed on only showing the icon in full screen mode.

I had to remove the Beta and go back to the original because the Beta for some reason wouldn't work with Plex.tv

Works great for me but sadly it doesn't support flash. But playing mobile videos it works great. I used it the other to watch Naruto.

chrome beta update 3/12/14
Since the update Wednesday 3/12/14 I have been able to stream some web videos from my phone. Videos that have commercials at the beginning only stream the commercial but not the video content itself, it seems to crash and then prevent the video from playing have to close tab and enter the web site again. A video that has no commercials and goes straight to content loads and streams fine. It appears that streaming resets the video to the start when you switch over to Chromecast. This will work great once all bugs get fixed and websites use HTML5
