I'm new to the tablet scene and I'm really starting to love this one alot, Although I never had anything to compare it with. One thing I am noticing though is the resolution seems a bit lacking. Is this a setting or some tweak i can fix this with or thats just how it is. I tried searching but searc is down right now. Any feedback would be great, Thanks!!
It's 1280x800, same as all the 10.1" tablets released recently. What do you feel is lacking about it?

Are you seeing that on a phone app? If so, the tablet will often rescale such apps, which pixellates their graphics. Try on an app designed for tablets, or an image.
I think, maybe, the OP is referring to panels pixel density.

They look fine on mine, are you using the stock browser? If you're using Firefox, don't bother. Its renderer is garbage.

I've tried them all, and to be completely honest, I always go back to the stock browser. Opera Mobile is quite good (not mini), but I don't like the way it does a few things.
Firefox is truly terrible on mobiles, they really managed to completely screw up image rendering on it.

+1 here too: the stock browser simply seems to work the best out of all the various browsers available. I would like to use Firefox, but I seriously hate how it screws up images on a device designed with viewing images in mind!
Besides, I quite like the bookmarks widget on my desktop and Firefox doesn't offer such.
On stock browser here as well - I've never tried any other.
QuickPic has also been the ideal image viewer for me - the stock image viewer isn't all that hot and shows a lot of compression artifacts and pixelation.

Yes, but it would only open the bookmarks I've made in the stock browser, the widget wouldn't show any bookmarks I make in Firefox itself. That kind of defeats the whole idea.
I too agree after installing all browsers the stock browser is best overall.I like Oprah for its speed seems to load pages much faster but that tab in the top left corner is not so user friendly to get to things.well for me anyway. I have not tried any of them since 3.1 update.well other then stock
As far as resolution no issues here at all.most stuff on web and produced for web graphics.will not be without pixilation to some degree

Hi, Have probably missed it, but have not seen any mention of Skyfire on these forums. I came across it by accident and it is brilliant!!!
Have been very dissapointed with the lack of real web experience with IE & Opera due their lack of support with Flash etc - well Skyfire delivers on all counts....from BBC iplayer to adult webcams, it does the lot lol.
Its free and you can get it here http://www.skyfire.com/
By the way, Im nothing to do with them, just a new and very happy user wanting to share.
LIAR! STOP TRYIN TO GET US TO BUY UR LOWSY PRODUCT...
i tried it, wasn't it impressed tho. i'll stick with opera for now. thx for the share tho
A must have is Opera Mini 5.
Skyfire sucks compared, maybe I'm wrong but I don't really care:
Opera are the kings and even if some browsers are still beta, they beat everything.
Sorry...
I have beem using it since its earliest alfa and most of the users here have it installed. It has nice capabilities, but extremely frustrating interface and behaviour. The sharpness of the displayed items leaves a lot to be desired as well.
I use it primarily to watch youtube videos when I don't want to turn CorePlayer on and for checking out trailers.
Opera is still better overall.
P.S. Opera Mini = worst browser ever, even worse than IE.

Skyfire renders all on server and sends only picture of the result. That's why it uses low resolution only. In high res the amount of data transferred would be bigger than anything else, and speed would go down too. So skyfire does not have a bright future ahead I'm afraid, as resolution of devices goes up.
I use Opera mini too. It's not great, but it works, and I don't have full data plan.
Opera Turbo in Opera mobile looks promising too.
Skyfire is great for flash and plugins, but qualitity of rendered pages is awful. I rather use opera mobile and youtube app for youtube.
Opera mini is also great browser. I use it when im on data plan due to its very small data consumption.
Opera mini 5 looks great but it kinda lost feel of light browser.

But it's amazing.
The speed it blazing fast. The look is high tech.
Skyfire looks like garbage on high res devices (it is only optimized for QVGA). Even worse than Opera Mini. If you want flash get opera mobile and flash addon.
If you want fast browser upgrade it to 9.7 w/ turbo or use opera mini. I think skyfire is a total waste of memory.
They says "It renders server side" like I care. I care that it is faster, but it is not faster than Opera Mini or 9.7 (both of which compress via their servers) and Skyfire looks and feels terrible to use.
I want someone to tell me why these threads keep popping up about an old browser that everyone knows about. I mean there isn't a new version that makes this somehow relevant.
I have a browser I want everyone to try, its PIE. It's also old and irrelevant and a total waste of time.
I use CorePlayer for YouTube videos. The quality is superb and the playback is flawless.
The best browser hands down was Mach 5. It's unfortunate it was just a demo and only runs on a Japanese server
The problem with Skyfire is that it isn't really "great" at anything...
-General navigation speed, Opera Mini is far faster as far as server-side rendering browsers go.
-Video/image quality is quite bad compared to youtube app, etc.
-A lot of "can't connect to server" errors if you are in low signal areas, which interrupt your browsing experience a lot.
-Selecting items and fields seems slower than most other browsers.
So let me get this right.....
When i posted this thread it was to make people like me aware of Skyfire because I have only seen one passing mention of it on this site.
I wasnt suggesting for a moment that people ditch all other browsers in favour of Skyfire....just that they add it to their armoury.
The main reason I am delighted with it was its ability to play full flash content such as the full BBC iplayer site, not the poor relation, the mobile iplayer site.
I will freely admit that I am not that experienced in the world of mobile apps etc so I may well be overlooking the obvious - are people here telling me there are other browsers like Opera capable of this? If so, I would ditch Skyfire straight away!!
Help would be appreciated.

Works VERY WELL! I have lived by miren browser... this blows miren out of the water... very snappy to load pages! My new favorite browser! Now they just need to make it work on something other than ics and it'll be the only browser I need!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
I agree, its pretty snappy and it feels like it should have been there all along.
I like it very much.
I just downloaded it and I really like it so far. The tab system is really smooth and good looking and there are a bunch of nice optimizations (like the magnification bubble that pops up when clicking on small links, like page numbers on a thread). The desktop bookmarks is SUPER laggy though, it takes a good 15-20 seconds for it to load and let you click on something.
Been using this on my PC's for years and I love it on my phone. Fastest browser yet! I just hope they come out with a dark version. Previously I used the dark dolphin mini and blacked out miren, chrome is soooo bright!

How often do people go to Kongregate on their phones through the browser to play games? There's enough apps with similar games, and you will still have the stock browser with flash if you really need it. I find that I barely use it in the browser. The Chrome browser is really well put together and will only get better!
HTML5 is just about ready to bust out; youtube has a whole branch for it. I am thinking really soon HTML5 will get the big push. (in that non-computer geeks will know it exists)
i agree flash is out dated but alot of sites still use it. thought it deserve a mention for people like me that dont want to have multiple apps for one purpose cluttering their phones. chrome beta is a great browser but until flash is completly gone it wont work for me. just my prefrence.
Running this on CM9-alpha1 and loving it! Tab management is the best I have seen to date, very clean. Also, syncing bookmarks and history is a huge plus. I type "f" in the address bar and it auto-suggests straight to the Epic 4G Android Dev page on XDA, just like it does on my laptop and desktop.

Irrelevant. It is a browser's job to show me web pages. If there's an old page with useless flash content, it is the responsibility of the browser to render it.
Regardless, I downloaded this earlier and wonder why it hasn't been part of Android all along, or why it wasn't just an update to the stock browser. Google now has two very similar mobile browsers for Android.
Well this new look is a big change. I refresh my page and bam! New layout, lol.
Thoughts on it?
Too bright. I'd prefer an inverted version.

Too big. I browse XDA on my second monitor which is a 15 inch. Besides that, I think it looks alright.
I like it. It is bigger. Should look better on my 24" Monitor when I get it, also should look much better at 1080p as well.
it is a bit large but I think I like it better than the 2010 theme. I wish they had a floating bar a the top though, one that would stay while you scroll with the account options and maybe page selection.
I fixed my problem by going to control panel, edit options, and changing the skin to the last one on the list. Now I get the nice theme and I will not have to read XDA on my bigger monitor.

I've tested both Firefox and Ocean in Sun spider.
Ocean got 780ms and Firefox got just over 1000ms.
Ocean also is as smooth as the iPad in scrolling/zooming, while Firefox was a bit more studdery in my experience.

Well, I've tried them both out, and actually I've gone with the recent update to Dolphin Beta 1.2 for JB. It runs -Very- smoothly and much better than Chrome(which is pretty easy right now). It doesn't load pages quite as fast, but it's close.
I've never been a huge fan of Boat (I dislike the bottom navigation bar that you can't remove).
Ocean is very quick on not so media heavy sites, but I hate how much screen you lose to the address bar and tabs.
I also had a lot of screen tearing and rendering issues with Boat and Ocean.
I frequent Roosterteeth.com and both ocean and Boat would just bog down, give up and render nothing but a tiny sort of grid like static.
So for me my daily driver is going to be Dolphin Beta for now. If I need Flash, Firefox is my pick for that. It's a clunky interface and a little buggy but handles Flash nicely when it has the system resources the Nexus 10 can provide. I also didn't experience any of the rendering issues Boat and Ocean had while using Firefox.
So I've got to trade some performance for compatibility. That's my take anyway.
Also, the Nexus 10 is Awesome.
So, is jet-pack a plug in or stand alone browser? I've downloaded Dolphin, Dolphin beta, and Jet pack. They all show up separately in my apps.

If you enable the quick controls the interface disappears. It's very similar to the AOSP browser except a different layout on the controls.

Jetpack is a custom back-end renderer for Dolphin as opposed to just being a shell interface for the stock renderer. You can think of it like a plug-in but it's more than that.

Maybe it's the lack of flash support or my bootlegged version but I often catch myself wondering if a page will display properly or not before tapping the link. None of these issues with the HOX.
Is it just me?
yip
I'm guessing that the lack of responses in a few hours time means to ignore the 2nd poster's response.
i think its you, i have no problem here...
would you mind giving a few examples??
If a page has flash I just use the AOSP browser. Otherwise, Chrome is fine. Not sure why you're having issues.

Can you see the full menu when you scroll down?
Also, how about this page: http://www.schlotzskys.com/locations/onlineordering mind sending a screen of this one? Full desktop mode no zoom
I'd really appreciate it estallings. I always read your posts on this forum as you're really helpful.
Nevermind the Schlotzkys link, works for me in Chrome. I guess I just need to sideload a good flash .apk.. now where oh where to find one.
I see this:

Yes, of course. Chrome does not support Flash. However, in the AOSP browser with Flash Player installed, I see this.

Holy crap, thats exactly what I'm looking for. Where can I download the AOSP browser and I'm stock everything/unrooted. Do I have to root or flash a rom?

AOSP browser has to reside in system/app to work, meaning you'd need root. You might try using a different browser that supports flash. I believe dolphin browser HD does.
Then install flash player http://d-h.st/x4v
Oh, and don't forget to enable third party apps in settings.
I managed to download both Dolphin HD and flash and I still don't see some flash content.. I'm not going to root and partial flash is so crippling. . I can view flash sites like liveleak though.
You'd think there'd be a way by now!

Android doesn't support flash anymore and adobe isn't supporting mobile. Flash sucks, but unfortunately a LOT of sites use it.
Just out of curiosity, what keeps you from rooting?
I had a bad experience rooting concerning battery life and choppiness in tapatalk/browsers so I said screw that. Given, I didn't spend much time in between rooting and flashing Cm10.1 and also I flashed a really early build of CM, less than a month into development. I wonder if things have improved but I love getting 5-6 hours screen on and having everything soooo smooth that I'm not willing to mess with stock.
Somebody really needs to come up with a fix for those in my boat. Maybe I'll have to learn how to code fluently (only know extremely bare basics) and try it myself.
