How many are sticking with Dolphin even after OTA? - Nexus One General

I went back to the stock Browser to see how multitouch was after the OTA update, and man, how underwhelming.
The multitouch is pretty much the same as Dolphin of course, but I definitely got used to Dolphin's full screen view. That status bar just sticks out like a HUGE sore thumb in the stock browser now...
Now only that, I love being able to double tap in Dolphin and seeing all the open tabs, instead of having to press Menu... then Windows... Then choose my tab...
Anyone else sticking with Dolphin? I think there's just too many extra features. Now that I've tried it, I can't go back!

I'm actually moving back to stock browser, I didn't realize how slow dolphin was.

Slow how? In zooming, page loading, or something else? They seem the same speed to me...???
Also, the zoom in/out buttons on the stock rom are also really ugly now, since they're not on Dolphin either.

dolphin didn't really impress me. the zoom was never that smooth and I never got used to the gestures didn't seem worth the effort. stock browser always seemed to load quicker. the new zooming seems to format the page better. I think the new pinch is absolutely perfect.
stock all the way, though I could see if you were used to specific features you'd stay with dolphin.

The only advantage Dolphin has now, over the stock browser, is the ability to download Youtube vids. On this gorgeous huge screen, the status bar isn't really as much of an eyesore as it was on the G1.

I see... It does seems a bit smoother to zoom...
Is there a way to remove the zoom buttons and the status bar without being rooted?
If not, is there a way to remove them with root?

Best bet is to contact Loccy. He was able to hack the stock browser on 1.5 and 1.6 to hide the status bar and the zoom buttons.

I like the tab mgmnt. Home page/bookmarks.
Dolphin MT but it also reformats text. Default when you P/Z is iphonish where it doesnt reformat the text.

Page loading. I love the left/right swipe to change tabs on dolphin though, as well as the gestures, but if I'm on my phone, page loading > tabs

double tap right after doing the pinch to zoom, it'll format it without zooming

Oh wow, you're right. I just noticed this.
When you zoom in with pinch/zoom on stock browser, it doesn't reflow text. If you rotate the phone and then rotate back, it DOES reflow the text. And then if you zoom out, it reflows the text. So only zooming *IN* with P/Z is fubar'd. (The zoom in/zoom out buttons reflow text just fine in both directions.)
Is this a "feature" or a bug with P/Z on stock browser???
[Edit]: Actually... It looks like reflow isn't working in Dolphin either until you rotate landscape and back??? Google must have broken something in the OTA??

PM'd. He hasn't posted in more than a month on XDA though. I wonder if he left the Android scene.

Oprea 10 zoom bar?

Is there anyway to use the zoom bar in oprea?
unfortunately you cannot. there are some tweaks out there that can get it ot work but it does not work well.
htc worked on the opera 9.7 to enable the zoom bar.
I orignally was also searching for a way to use the zoom bar but after using opera 10 for awhile, I found that it really does not need to use zoom feature as much so I think just with a bit more expereince you may found that it's fine to live without it.
Now that you mention it i dont need it as mutch as I origionaly thought
Opera 10 does not have scalable zooming. It just has 2 zoom levels, zoomed in and zoomed out. Therefore the zoom bar does not work.

[Q] Full screen in browser?

So I recently found a wwflash based chat page a local club uses. The page almost fits on my Motorola Milestone, but its a little hard to get to the text box at the bottom of the screen. So I thought the Atrix might be exactly what I need.
However, the text page still is a little large when the android browser address bar is showing. Is there some way to hide that bar???
Ditch the stock browser
Ditch it for what?
This is an add on to Dolphin browser. Install both.
Additionally, you could try this browser. It says it has full screen mode in the options, i have never tried it myself.

actually that's the first thing i did.but it doesn't fix the problem. it only hides the android notification bar, but not the address bar.
Hmm interesting, mine hides the Address bar also.
EDIT: Doesn't FireFox or Opera offer full screen mode? - I have FF but haven't used it for a while

yes I want that, but mine always displays the address bar. let me see if restarting the phone fixes the issue.
edit: nope, restarting didn't fix it. it still shows the address bar. I have tried Chrome, Firefox. I didn't try Opera, let me try that.
It may work, I've noticed with Samsung devices a reboot tends to fix a lot of things that randomly stop working. - Could also vary on which FW you are running also. I use MJ7 and it seems my options vary to some others who also run it which is weird.

yes I also have MJ7.
just like I mentioned above, I did restart the phone but it didn't fix the issue. fullscreen for my browser only means the android bar isn't visible (but the address bar, the one in which you type the URL remains visible).
so I tried other browsers, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Opera Beta.
so far the best results were with Web Browser (Maxthon) which can also hide the address bar, but instead it displays a circle button that doesn't go away. the Note 2's browser was best for what I'm looking for, since it displayed absolutely nothing in fullscreen. no notification bar, no address bar, no nothing, only the webpage. isn't there a way to install Note2's browser on Note 3?

Could always try and find the .apk for the Note 2's browser, would probably have to mess with the current browsers .apk also to disable it. Or extract it from your current Note 2 maybe? --- Not sure why yours won't show full screen though, bit strange.

Start scrolling upwards and it re-appears again, It was the same on my HTC One, which was also on HTC Stock browser.

actually Google Chrome does that, when you scroll downwards the address bar dissapears (but not the notification bar). the other browser note 3 comes with always displays the address bar.

Firefox has a fullscreen addon that hides the address bar, it works great on the Note 3.

[Q] Chrome won't download or text wrap

I have the Verizon galaxy s5.
Chrome won't download media. I long touch and do save link and it starts to download then after a tiny bit says failed. Every time. My other Droid phone with default stock (browser) has no issues. Why won't chrome work? Can I fix it in chrome? I tried Firefox and it has no save anything. I tried Dolphin and it works.
Also how do I get chrome to word wrap text on the Web when double tapping or pinch to zoom?
When I enable restrict background data can I get rid of the notification ! That's (always) in the notification bar?
How do you get more then 4 home screens? The Verizon store had like 6 or so when you slide home screen left and right. It's not using any third party app for that.
Thanks a lot for help.
Anyone?

Its real really full screen as far as I can tell
The very top of my screen is the Twitter bar. The punch hole is centered on that but obviously the screen cap won't capture it so I drew it.

You could also use Monument Browser which has had the same feature for a while, has a desktop application for windows and has a lot of features that are difficult to find. However it's a nice step for the Samsung Browser
most of the browser will make a black broder where the punchole/notch ist, so this is nice
This is an irregular practice, yet it makes the telephone simpler to deal with, while keeping that Infinity show looking sharp.

This doesn't work with all apps. If the app has the capability the OS won't Force the status bar, otherwise the apps will continue to performance like they have before. Most apps don't support a full immersive mode because in previous versions of Android it was built into the OS and apps didn't have to support it.
Edit: I should rephrase that because I'm not taking into account the knotch area that didn't exist when immersive mode hit android. It seems immersive mode ignores that.

This is what i mean... The statusbar becomes a black border and the screeb behaves like before so no more screen area to use
Samsung browser beta just became my default browser again. Wish edge would implement this. I was pissed when they removed it so now I'm a happy camper that they've returned the feature.
