You want to see this tablet at it's best check out

The xScope browser. After reading about it here earlier today I grabbed it and can't believe how it shows the ability of this tablet. I set the browsing agent as a "computer" and every site I've checked works flawlessly, including those with a lot of flash that didn't work before. Youtube videos look amazing and the speed is second to none.
The reason I wanted to mention it here is because so many people are working hard to make this tab the best it can be and I thought this shows what we have to work with. Personally this is going to allow me to do a lot more business work and makes the purchase a great move for me!
Sorry for getting a little over excited.

Can you please check www.bankofamerica.com? It fails for me using stock browser, and Dolphin HD and Lite. I have not tried other browser such as Xschope and Skyfire.

I use xScope also. Rothnic recommended it. Works very well. I went to the Bank of America site and it looks like it works. You didn't leave your account # so I can't really tell though It looks different in xScope than the stock browser.

Using stock and dolphin HD/Lite, login app falls behind some flash advertise, and no way to move the login applet front.
Yes, you can use Android App for BofA, but it is horrible. Too many crashes, and it works when it wants.
Damn, i left my tablet at home today since don't have decent carrying solution yet.. Really sux..

ah ok hopefully its fixed by the time i get my tablet since i do use the app alot.

I really didn't feel this thread needed to be moved. It's relevant to those of us working non-stop on the roms like TNT. It's important that we know what apps are making the most of the roms as a lot can be learned from that. I wasn't simply looking to review the app.

People love Dolphin and I don't know why. I have been using Xscope since it was free and I even paid for it now that it isn't and it just gets better with every update. It blows the other browsers out of the water!

On the contrary, this is related to a browser APP, which can be used regardless of which ROM is on your gTAB. Apps is the perfect forum for this post.

Tried the free version. Fancast didn't work for me in this one either. Flicker slideshows did working landscape...didn't in stock.

You're right had it been app review, which it wasn't. I was addressing those of us using certain roms.

Just a heads up. When I last used Skyfire the webpages were all generated on their servers. So unless things have changed I'd avoid using it for things like financial transactions.

Don't want to go on anymore about this too much, but this absolutely belongs in apps. You didn't say anything specific about a ROM, or development. You did give an app review about how it runs on this device. There currently is a lot of app related posts coming into development pushing down threads, and our mod is rightly so moving them.
On another note, I am on the list of of people who don't understand the hype on Dolphin and love xScope. I encourage everyone to try it.
Love loading webpages up, then hitting menu to go fullscreen. The toggle makes it great. Also nice swiping between tabs.

Can any one tell me where to find the xScope browser. Of course the crappy gmarket site the gtab has built in doesn't carry it.

I like XScope 6 a lot. Today I was able to watch a rental movie (from Amazon digital store) at full screen and no issues at all. The browser agent was set to "computer" with XScope and Amazon who needs the iTunes store?

[Q] Best Android Browser?

I know that everyone will have a personal opinion and preference (not to mention that this question has probably been done to death); but with the latest GB update/ROM, 2.2 roms and so forth...At this point in development, is the stock browser just as good/fast as 3rd party ones (specifically sykfire and opera mini).

I am updated to the 1/28 Gingerbread, and while the stock is ok, I still prefer Dolphin. I have a difficult time exiting out of stock (the back key just pages back, does not exit), and downloads don't always seem to complete in the stock browser for me. Just my 2 cents.

Yeah I figure it really depends on the user's needs/wants. I read this interesting review, (tried to post the link but not allowed yet :-( and it looks like skyfire is the best overall (supposedly plays flash on non-flash devices pretty well)

Miren is the best.

Skyfire for Flash video conversion support. Also a good system for tabs and a great browser overall.
LATE EDIT: I read the topic wrong, I thought it was like a poll... Umm, the stock is still nowhere near as good as Skyfire or Dolphin.

I use dolphins mini.

ive used xscope for quite a while and nothing else ever really feels right when i try it

I like miren as well.

I'm using Opera atm but I don't like that there is no pinch to zoom or text formatting when I zoom in. It's still much better than stock, maybe I'll check out dolphin or miren

I would say boat browser

Miren seems like a really good browser. I like it.

Was using Opera now Dolphin is my primary, however a bit frustrated with not being able to set my home page. They all run rather slow to open up and are sluggish on my phone. Web pages are a pain in the *** on all of them. Either too small or too big.

Haven't heard of it. How does it compare. Why do you like it. I might have to give it a try.

Opera Mobile
Now using Opera Mobile and I find it is very snappy. I tried Dolphin and it seemed a bit cumbersome. I will have to check out Miren.

Xscope is very good, especially the newest version as they worked out alot of bugs, it is a paid app tho. Try the different versions of dolphin browser they are really fast and customizable.

I liked the functions embedded in Skyfire, but on the aospCMod, it seemed to cause some FC and weird booting issues.

I use dolphin HD licensed and skyfire for flash yxplayer fc's on me in aospcmod

For me it is opera mini ucweb for more info

Does art speed up the actual app (like scrolling, etc) or just load times?
The smart dialer is by far the best feature.

Actually, with regards to embedded videos, it does not seem to work anymore for those that I have in my Pocket articles.
Just a "Couldn't load plug-in" error message.
But other than that, i think the new dialer does mirror my usage style of not keying in numbers all the time, but just that few contacts. nice feature there.

1 - ART. That makes me keep my Nexus 4 and now only waiting for Nexus 6 next year
2 - The new dialer. A think Google got a point here.

- The dialer: It seems a lot less...bland...and I feel like i want to use it more. (Bonus points for the fact it brought up the name of the take-away i've been using for the past few weeks that I never knew the name of)
- The hidden UI when browsing fullscreen content also makes that bit of a difference to me

Dialer is cool. Like the full screen browser too and overall better battery life.

All the new UI related things, and ART as internal thing.

PrOn Pages dont lag on Chrome when Art is enabled

Yes but you're not going to like it. Uninstall Google Search completely from your device, then install the AOSP launcher from CM11 rom, it's the same as Google launcher without the Google Now integration. It doesn't gone an extra row for home screen either, but it does show more apps in the drawer.

Yes the dialer has been my main frustration for a long time, having no t9 support. When it did, the limited display of 3 contacts with only name + number was somewhat dissapointing, especially since htc implemented that feature from day one it seemed.
I do miss the opportunity to switch functions using a swipe though (the dialer pad button is a little hard to press wile on a bicycle ), but overall I think it's a huge improvement, especially with the mentioned bonus point that it identifies numbers from businesses that are not in my contacts!

I like how Google didn't give us transparency on stock /s
I would say the new dialer and music lock screen are my favorites so far

(app) Naked Browser

Have been running Unjust's CM11 version and I must say I think it's the best ROM I've ever used. Super smooth and quick. That being said the browser has quirks so I went about finding a replacement.
After trying all of them several times I tried "Naked Browser". It's ugly as sin and missing a few features, but man it's blazing fast. Very small footprint as well. Just thought I would throw it out there for some that it might help....(4.3 & 4.4 users especially).
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Can you give us a rundown of the others you tried and what maybe was your main pros & cons of them?
I've always thought chrome was nice but way to much memory hog for 4.2.x and up ROMs.
.

Well to be honest my main reasoning came down to 2 basic things. Number one being speed. In my limited use the Naked Browser is very basic and speedy. None of the others, even Opera Mini, seem as quick to me.
Number 2 reason is the way it looks on a smaller screened device. And by that I mean I hate, I hate, having to constantly pinch and zoom to get the pages "optimized" upon every click. Naked's pages come up in a manner that is already usable. And when you need to zoom you have the option of using zoom buttons...a la' the old Google Maps style. Much better for me personally.
And as a bonus the apps' footprint is under 200kb.
I haven't used it long personally. But so far I'm really liking it. Hope this helps!

Also...
I hate saying and using the term "outdated", as my Fassy has been an excellent device for me but technically that's what it is now. If it wasn't outdated and had more horsepower I would probably use the stock browser, Chrome, or Next Browser. I like them as well. But they don't play nice with a Fassy running 4.2+ in my experience.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I seem to get along just fine with chrome on my phone. It's a bit slow but it works

Quick update:
After using this browser some more I feel it has great potential. Have had a few glitchy moments depending on what I'm doing, and on certain webpages. I find myself using this browser as well as waffling back and forth to Opera Mini.
If you are ok with a feature rich browser and don't mind it being a little slow than these options probably won't serve you well. I however, hate lag or slowness of any kind. If you're like me give both these options a try. Naked is fast and occasionally glitchy. Opera Mini is nearly as fast, more polished, and has more features. Both stomp the stock browser running newer 4.2+ ROMs on the Fassy. Hope this helps some people. -Thanks

watching youtube problem
hi Thanks for this browser.
But i am facing a problem, when i watch a youtube video in fullscreen and try to exit fullscreen, the browser does not exit. the large video keeps playing in the background of the browser.
Kindly fix it or tell me how to do it.
One more thing, can you think of changing the name from 'Naked' to something else?

Chrome perform really inconsistently on 4.4.2 Kit Kat

My N5 is on stock 4.4.2,
Having read that the Nexus 5 CPU throttle back when it hit it's preset temperature to prevent overheating (while charging or running intensive apps) generally doesn't affect much of the UI, most apps and gaming (still buttery smooth) but the throttling had affect Chrome so badly that it's absurb !!
When I'm charging, web pages takes ages to load on HSPA+ and never ever loads completely, the blue loading bar in Chrome will hang at about 9/10 of it's way thou page are readable but images don't load up. Pinch zoom and kinetic scrolling stutter, couple with Chrome hang for a good 2 sec before resuming itself. Web pages like the Verge, dpreview, gsmarena and xda forum can never load up completely and I'm getting incomplete texts and forget about images !!
I've initially though it's the N5's cell signal problems but atlas I downloaded Dolphin Browser, I can full load all the above mentioned web pages in about 7 - 10 sec. I think Google should really further optimize Chrome for upcoming Kit Kat updates, If they can make Chrome blazing fast on a x86-64 PC why not Android ?
I'll be sticking with Dolphin Browser for a while thou until 4.4.3, finger cross then
Anybody experience this problem too?

I've noticed Chrome using much more battery then any other browser I've tried. Not sure exactly why I've since switched to Firefox which syncs with my desktop browser.

Exactly... chewing up to about 12% of juice during my N5 9hrs usage time, forget to took a screen shot thou...

Just today I was also wondering why chrome is so slow. Slow to load and really bad scroll stutter. My GS2 with CM10.1 browser so much better. How can that be?
But lots of people reporting no problems with chrome. Would love to know what I should be doing differently.

Short answer, Chrome sucks. First thing I did when I got my N5 was root it, install Titanium backup and freeze Chrome. I use Dolphin and Next for now. I do notice that in general, the browsing experience has gotten worse going from 4.3 to 4.4. Hopefully google will address this going forward.

Was a slight exaggeration, I flashed kernel trinity and rastakat before I froze Chrome

Shouldn't use dolphin. They have some serious privacy violations with all their apps. I recommend Firefox, Chrome, Opera or Naked Browser. Chrome does suck though IMO.

I think Dolphin's security exploit had been fixed after ver 7
check out their blog...

You really trust the people at Dolphin. Its up to you guys. I personally don't like handing over my private data to some untrustworthy company in another country. Check the privacy thread out. Dolphin Zero still has privacy issues too.
I think Firefox supports flash and you can always sideload it too.
