Does a modern html5 site like this http://sammystodos.brandonaaron.net
works on Nexus One or Desire?
It seems that the browser doesn't support standards as much as safari on iPhone..
Chrome is by far the best browser on the market, followed by Opera.
Eventually they will merge everything that desktop's Chrome can do into Android..
But so far - yes, that website works fine, except for editing the fields that you added. I assume that can easily be fixed by tweaking the site itself.
I can confirm that its working on the nexus one with to stock browser.

Which "Chrome" browser are you speaking of? I see a couple that say they only replace the logo, but none claiming to be anything different than the stock browser.
Sorry can u post a screenshot because I tried it in an emulator and I just see the background
No problem
Thanks a lot!

Can you actually type?
I tried it on the Desire browser and it looks exactly like yours, but I cannot type. Holding the Menu button to bring up the keyboard doesn't work either.
Checking the checkboxes and using the trash can icon to delete items do work.

Google Chrome browser. I understand that Android is running a simplified version of Chrome on the PDAs.

So the stock Android browser?
The Android browser isn't Chrome. They're both WebKit based though.

Yeah I know.. but I betcha they use a lot of the same code.
Why rewrite the whole thing of they're both based on WebKit and Chrome obviously has awesome code.
I think the N900 might have the best mobile browser, my brother has one and it's pretty slick.

How is it better?
It's Fennec, which can do everything Firefox can do, including making use of the desktop addons, and it supports Flash 9.4
This will be an ongoing problem with HTML5.
"how does it look on this browser ??"
This is what people dont get about Flash. You have complete control over how everything looks. You dont have that control in HTML , everything is still browser dependent.
Not saying this cant be ironed out..but the impression that a <video> tag is going to solve HTMLs shortcomings is silly. As it stands the browsers are already divided over codec support.
Hi guys, i wanna take advantage of this thread to now more real-life web browsing issues.
How well works this sites on the N1 or HTC Desire browser? (without adding any ad-hoc apps)
- www.facebook.com (does the chat work?)
- www.google.com/reader
- www.google.com/analytics
- www.youtube.com/html5 (how well run the html5 video)
Can u compare them to a normal web browser or iphone?
I'm having a problem with the web browser.
Basically it keeps closing when I click on a link. Example, right here on the XDA forum when I click on one of the threads the web browser just shuts down & returns to the home screen. I had it just a day & took it back to the shop & they swapped for a brand new one.
Got home tried the web browser & it did exactly the same. I've not loaded any apps its straight out of the box, set up wifi & fire up the web browser.
Also I changed the UA string to desktop but it doesn't work either. Got no problems with my HTC Desire or the Dell Streak.
Any others having the same problem. Looks like I might have to return it again tomorrow.
I have experienced this too a couple of times. I found deleting cache data and cookies then also disabling plugins in browser settings seemed to fix this. Not a major issue.

Same here.
Strangely enough it only happened here at xda-devs but doing as you say cleared the issue and it's been right as rain ever since.
What does disabling plugins do? Does it stop flash from working? And how about the UA string, why won't it stay in desktop mode?
Thanks
As far as i can tell disabling plugins doesn't appear to do very much. I noticed YouTube videos will stop playing in the web browser (but will play in YouTube app perfectly fine) and that's about all. Flash support in this version of the browser is so minimal that it is barely worth having or switching on.
I have no idea about the UA string.
i had that problem on a nexus turned off my locations by wifi in settings and worked fine.
OK I've returned the phone for full refund at the shop I bought it from. I'm going to give the Galaxy S a final chance though as I will buy another from a different shop. I'm thinking it could be due to fact that the previous shop stock was from a dodgy batch of phones.
I think you'll be disappointed, sounds more like a software issue than a hardware one and I cant believe a batch of phones had a software flash go wrong like that. What id like to know is if this is just a Galaxy S thing or not? As I thought it was the same browser on all eclair phones.
I have a HTC Desire aswell. The web browser on the Desire doesn't have any of the issues I'm seeing with the Galaxy S. The problem I have with the Desire though is the external speaker volume is too low & tinny, but most significant is the pink tint when on the lowest brightness setting (I use the phone a lot in dark conditions). In saying that I noticed that the Galaxy lowest brightness setting is still much brighter than the Desire.
try out Skyfire? other browsers?

If you want to try out a good browser, then try Dolphin HD.
Very quick, slick and does have some nice features.

In what way?
I'm using it over the default browser and love it.
Ok, my browser (both the default one and Dolphin HD) shuts down randomly back to the main screen. Usually it's preceded by a single vibration, followed by three quick vibrations before it happens. This happens regardless of what website I am on.
I didn't have this issue at all on 2.1, and to be honest I really wish I hadn't bothered updating the phone as sites loaded and ran quicker on 2.1. Wondering if you guys have any ideas.
My baseband is I9000XXJPM
Build is FROYO.XWJP6
Oh and, I'm running RyanZA's OneClickLagFix 2.2+

The vibration pattern you mention are indicative to a Force Close procedure.
Clearly something is interfering with the Internet App.
What happens after a reboot?
It's the same after a reboot. I rebooted it this morning before coming into work. Later in the morning I was on the internet on my phone and the same thing happened.
edit: I upgraded via the reg-hack to force Kies to give me the update. The JPM firmware is onlly for nordic regions, I'm wondering if maybe the proper European firmware will solve the problem...
Also: FIVE MINUTES BETWEEN POSTS FOR NEW USERS?? JESUS CHRIST, XDA!!

I would say it looks quite good that you have a problem with the ROM.
I would put the correct ROM on your SGS and if Kies is problematic use Odin.
There is a great information link on how to use Odin to upgrade a ROM at How to use Odin to Upgrade the SGS to Froyo.
I used it and it worked a breeze.

Dolphin, skyfire (i really hate this over hyped crappy product) uses stock browser engine. So, on froyo they perform as the default browser. Browser on froyo sucks badly. I browse quite often and got a few fc (vibrates.. phone unusable for seconds, that happen when an app FC in official froyo) or simply self close. Plus how much resources eats (cpu + mem).. simply pathetic. Eclair browser performance was way better..

That's just your opinion and you are quite entitled to it especially if you are experiencing the problems you mention.
Mine however performs without a hitch. It's quick, reliable and does exactly that as I ask of it.
I used to be able to open 8 tabs of mixed web pages (blogs, news, Facebook, etc) and could queue them all up, read them one by one, and close out & switch to the next tab when I'm finished with one.
I used to be able to do this without any slow downs or reloading of each page when I switch to it. In addition, my phone would not become bogged down.
NOW when I do this, I have to wait for the page to reload when I switch to it. This only happens when I have over 2 or 3 tabs going at once and even then, only when the webpages are relatively content-heavy.
Ok, ready for the b*tching? This is AWFULLY PAINFUL when I've queued these pages up right before entering a no-service area like a tunnel or the subway. My ancient G1 used to behave this way but I always thought that was because it had half the RAM of this phone, so it did that to free up memory for other running processes/headroom.
This is by far the biggest disappointment of the JI6 update and I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this or can suggest a fix.
Note, my phone is bone stock and one of the reasons I loved it so much was the browser performance - now, the browser performs horribly.

I've tried other browsers in the past, but was always happiest with the stock browser.
Regardless, I want to know what happened to the memory management after the update. It would never attempt to reload pages if I had multiple tabs going but now it does.
What I meant was, have you tested to see if other browsers are behaving the same way as the stock browser after you updated to JI6?

No, I haven't, but I dont specifically know how they performed before the update with regards to multiple tabs and page reloading, so it wouldn't tell me much about what the update did.

Maybe not, but if they behave better than the stock browser does now that you've updated, that's what counts, right?
Well, I just opened up 8 tabs of different websites and was able to switch between them with no problem at all. Nothing had to reload for me. On stock browser with JI6.
Try clearing cache?

I have tried clearing the browser cache, tried other browsers, kill the native task manager app, tried stock froyo, Bionix V, Ginger Clone and Axura, and the browser always behaves the same way. If you switch to another app, when you come back to the browser, it starts to reload all pages (very annoying). It feels like I'm back using the mytouch 3g.
Back when the Vibrant (and the galaxy family) first came out, this didn't happened. 8 tabs (I could live with 4) that were always there waiting in the same line where you left off.
Any ideas
My wifi Xoom doesn't seem to be playing embedded videos. It plays ads fine though. I have tried all the settings in stock and opera browser with no luck. It just displays a image where the video should be-

Thanks for the response. I tried that. It doesn't show any data or cache. They are both greyed out. I uninstalled and reinstalled and still shows the same
So I know flash is working with TV show stream, but it will not work in the browser...hmmm
Ok I tried Dolphin and flash works with it. Still not working in stock or opera

That doesn't make sense. Dolphin Mini/HD are not standalone browsers, they are UI and tweaks but use the stock webview browser (same as stock). So if it works in Dolphin, it should work in stock unless something is really screwed up.
Go into your Browser settings and make sure Plug Ins are set to On Demand or On.
In the stock browser, I'm able to load, say, Bejewled Blitz on Facebook. But when I went to hbo.com (I wanted to try HBOtoGo) it tells me that it's a flash site and I don't have flash installed.
I get the same message on HBO.com. Also, I am not able to watch videos on Hulu.com.
Try CNN. I think those sites block mobiles and tablets.

Flash doesn't work in third party browsers... It only works in the stock browser. Also, some sites like Hulu block mobile devices from accessing their content for what ever reason.. It has nothing to do with the actual device. Hulu is working on an App for Android that will be released in the next couple months. We will probably see a Netflixs app even sooner.

Thanks for the replies guys. Im at a lost as to why its not working in the stock browser. I also tried Miren and Skyfire and it doesnt work with those either. For some reason it only works with Dolphin.
Hello,
$aur0n wants to add a new standart browser to Urukdroid 1.1 (first in RC1)
(You can read about this at UrukdroidDecelopement Thread )
This thread should helps him, to decide
Please do this poll and, if you have enough time, post your expanation to our opinion here
If you want another Broser to choice, post it here
Greetz & Thankz,

miren browser, we don't need Dolphin HD (although it is one of the most powerful browsers for android) if we aren't going to use all the features/addons.
actually i never heard about miren before this, i think i might switch to it

Euhm.. nope Firefox 4 is an Android App Even the final version
try it for 15 minutes and compare it to one of the others
firefox for android is a joke
I know
But i want to give every browser a chance
How about an app or utility so the user can choose what browser he wants to install? similiar to the windows browser choose dialog.
I would advise to not replace the std browser.
You dont know what the exchange will do to other programms.
It s ok to put an additional one in there, but please dont replace th std.
Can you please add a link to this in the development thread? (I can't, not enough posts)
My personal experience is that Dolphin Mini is the best combination of speed and features. I found the full Dolphin a little slow, and Miren and Opera did not render some pages that Dolphin had no problem with.
Archos default browser
Install a new one if you want, but I need my stock browser. It's alot easier to install a new one from the Market than it is to reload the original browser if you take it out.
personally I use dophin mainly because of the lastpass plugin. I couldnt live without it now! so i dont give a monkeys what browser is bundled in with the rom since I wouldnt use it (unless it supported lastpass at some point in the future)
I want the Android browser to be the default one ^^

Just leave the stock one. If you want a different browser just install it yourself from the market.
Please leave the stock browser.. but for a second browser I use Dolphin Browser Mini. I tried the HD version and went back to Mini because has better UI and faster IMO. I tried Firefox and uninstalled after a few minutes.. way too slow!
Either Opera mobile or Dolphin HD 5

i'm pretty happy with NetFront Life as second one :
https://market.android.com/details?...roid.nflifebrowser.lite&feature=search_result
None of the above, default. It is always an option for ANY of us to install an alternate browser and even have it be the default, but removing the stock one can get you into trouble.
I already have most of them installed on my device.
I have had some serious problems with Opera and Dolphin, but Dolphin was the absolute worst. It kept freezing every time I tried to use it.
I have been using the stock Android browser since the latest FW, and I was very pleased with it. Overall, I found it to be just as capable as the browsers you find in the market, with less of the drawbacks.
So if the dev wants to give users an option, then great. But please don't remove the standard browser, just give other options.
As always, I appreciate the time you devs take to help us all out.
