I have started trying out different browsers on my DHD and downloaded a couple of small files totaling about 3MB with Dolphin Browser to check its speed. However when I was later looking through 3g watchdog it showed I had downloaded 34MB via Dolphin. Where could this additional 30MN have come from? Do the webzines in Dolphin automatically download data?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Assuming you had very poor 3g connection it may be that the data was downloaded several times before dolphin was happy that it had been downloaded correctly.
I actually had an HSDPA connection and the files downloaded in seconds without any bother.

Can't help then, but would suggest not using dolphin on these findingd
I also noticed a huge jump in my data usage the last month (around the same time I downloaded dolphin) I assumed it was because I switched from desire to desire hd
Maxthon Mobile
I recommend that you use maxthon mobile. Is the most reliable and fastest browser.
Just started trying Maxthon, seems pretty good so far. I have been using Opera mostly which is also pretty good. I have only used Dolphin 2 or 3 times this month and my 3g usage is over 60MB. Something very odd going on. Could it be the webzines included with Dolphin? Think I'm going to just uninstall it but am still curious as to what caused this.

I never had this problem on my aria using skyfire. Is there a setting I need to change?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
The setting your looking for is called "User Agent", set it to desktop if you don't want any mobile sites. I'm not sure why yours random started going to them but that's the setting for it.
Another thing that I find annoying is the fact that going to say fox.com to watch fringe skyfire won't load any video at all, just tried it on my liberated aria and it works with out a problem? I have only had the atrix 2 days, and I'm seriously disappointed. I think I might flip to a inspire by friday.

Its not random starting, I meant it just pushes me into mobile sites even if I choose the regular site. I'm just really disappointed with this phone. I really don't see much of a difference between the speed of this phone and my aria.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
the issue is most likely a skyfire compatibility issue with your phone, the market comments several phones having the same issue. However, my question would be if you are running 2.2 and can install flash, why do you need skyfire?
And seriously? after 2 days use you are ready to say it is not much better than a phone whose maximum overclock is 800mhz and has less than half the available RAM, much less a comprable screen? Give the very capable developers time, as well as motorola, to show you what kind of phone you have.
Its all little disheartening when the developers are starting to give up like Dg for one.
On the browser issue. I don't like the fact that I'm am supposedly using the most powerful phone but am restricted to using mobile sites. The stock browser yahoo mobile. And I can't find the user client option for the stock browser. I have skyfire set to desk top and that one is still taking me to mobile sites.
The inspire is looking better by the moment, I just don't like how big it is.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
lol switch to the inspire, test it out.
I guarantee you'll subtly switch back to the atrix and start posting back here in no time.
Where are the user client settings for the stock browser. I can't find them.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
By default I don't think you can change the user client of the stock browser. Try Miren Browser, Opera, Dolphin HD or Firefox. All are great browsers.
you're going to be pretty pissed off when you realize how much slower the inspire is, and how bad it's battery is. The atrix, like any product carries some buyers remorse
I just watched fringe on fox.com using Dolphin HD... No problems..
Never had a problem with Dolphin HD kicking me to a mobile page either..
I'll try dolphin out.thanks

Oh that depends on why browser you're using, not the phone itself. If you want something free, get Dolphin Mini browser.
If you want something a little faster, xScope 6 is awesome and I love it.

In the stock browser enter "about:debug"... This will allow changing ua strings...

Hello folks, the browser on tablet is really slow and key entries r sluggish. It also has a couple of bugs, specially when in the fB page. Is there a performance patch for this?
Note: I have also used Dolphin and Opera and similar results.
Thanks in advance!

I noticed when typing in some websites it takes about 1-2 seconds for it to come up on the screen in the stock browser but this definitely doesn't happen in opera. Not for me atleast. That's why I made the switch to opera.

Hey,
I'm using the stock browser in the ICS v7 ROM. I have used Opera Mobile Browser numerous times in the past. It works quite well; smooth & efficient.
Which one has faster dl spds

DL speeds are determined by your HSPA(+) signal strength, or wi-fi signal strength.
Browsers do not increase or hinder Download speeds.
IF you are talking about rendering the page quickly.
Opera Mini or Dolphin Mini.
Using the (almost) stock Sense 3.5 browser.
Stock browser on ICS is simply the best browser on any version of Android IMHO
FireFox Mobile (w/ add-ons).

Try UCbrowser, has its own kernal and awesome performance

One of the Devs (febycv) created a thread with access to the silk browser. I myself use Opera mini or the ICS stock browser since i run 'creamed glacier' on the regular.
Check it Out!

Always a Opera Mobile fan!!
I'll try maxthon though just for experience..
I tried it the other day, don't remember why I didn't like it... but dropped it for Boat-mini (for flash only).. I use Chrome 95% of the time, it seems to render/pinch-zoom, better than others. Only one I found that pinch-zooms (or double tap) on most mobile pages flawlessly.
I'm always a bit weary when applications begin or become to offer all kinds of bundles and addons - I felt that way with maxthon.
Apart from stock browser, I've been somewhat partial to Boat Browser and still like Opera on occasion (as my desktop user agent go to on mobile). I used Dolphin HD for a while, but I really didn't need the extra features (sonar and gestures) and addons growing from them.
I'm not sure however if Boat browser had advertisements - I've always used AdAway from Google Play (requires root) and never noticed anything blatantly obvious.

Hey.
I got a mobile broadband the other day and want help saving as much data as possible. What's a good browser to use mainly that doesn't load flash images all that. Or even one that gives me the option to load images.

Anyone

Pretty much any of the third party browsers will have these options. I know dolphin has the option to not load plugins without telling it you want to run it.
I would check out the browser thread and find some browsers you like then install them and try them.
If you ask 20 people what browser is best you will get at least 18 different answers or reasons why. It all depends on your personal preference.
Not running flash on jellybean should be much easier than running flash.

opera
opera mini browser is my best recommendation
