I have a pet peev with the browser for the Transformer, when you click on something in the webpage you don't see the thing you are clicking on. Many other mobile browsers will put a box on the item or even color in the text field, but the TF doesn't do any of that, nor does it have a sound.
Am I missing something here? Perhaps a setting you can configure?
Bump, does anyone know what I'm talking about? When you tap on a hyperlink it doesn't show any visual cues that let you know what you're clicking on.
The only solutions is switch to Opera mobile.

Or Firefox, or Dolphin.
i know what you mean, it doesnt do it on Dolphin either, i kinda like to know that what i have clicked has been actually clicked.

Opera is dreadful on the hero, the basic browser is weak.
Any others to use?

What exactly is wrong with the built in browser?
I would prefer to see the full page directly, not that zoom. And the scroll should be more reactive and not make the webpage move that much. I prefer the iPhone way, sorry
There is also a problem with some services. I travel a lot and in some hotels I'm not able to log in. When there should be a name/password screen, nothing shows for example. Also some radio stations won't stream.
So if there is an option, I'll try it.
You could try Steel.

Really?? What does that even mean? I'm not referring to the bad grammar, but the comment itself? Catch up with itself?
I know what he means, say you start moving around the web page quick it is like the cpu can't keep up and can't load it up fast enough so the web page breaks up then loads when its caught up if that makes any sense.
one other major problem that i have found with teh browser is that it actually changes the code of websites - in particular, it seems to disable file uploads. this is a big problem.

Iphone GS doesn't do that anymore FYI (well almost never I'm sure you could find a site to do it but its significantly, like 98% reduced over the Iphone 3g).

Steel has a nice interface. I like the function of a virtual icon in the corner... no need to press menu to bring in the adress bar...
The only major drawback which made me uninstall the application is the lack of zoom function.

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.

The Android browser isn't Chrome. They're both WebKit based though.

Why rewrite the whole thing of they're both based on WebKit and Chrome obviously has awesome code.

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?
Why is that we don't have multi-touch though the whole phone? I understand the keyboard issue but what about the apps and just general use of the phone it self.
Blame the app makers. They're the ones who chose not to implement it.
be more specific.. what doesnt have multi-touch that you would like to see it in and it would be intuitive in. it is in the gallery, browser, and homescreen, what would you like it to do next?

I think multitouch on the homescreen was added in 2.1. because you can do that pinch zoom to see all 7 screens in senseui
I find multi touch to be in everything I need it in. What pi$$'s me off is the fact that when I am in an email or even on a web page I cant click on text and copy it. What the heck, why in the heck doesnt this work. Where do I go to suggest this to google?

Quit complaining. It's going to be in Gingerbread, and Swype has a text selection feature built in.

idk about you, but if you hit the text and hold it, you can select how much of it you want highlighted, and then copy it.
well thats what happens on mine that is.

do you have your browser ID set to desktop? or IE6?
I must be blind, but i don't see that option anywhere in the browser setting.

You must still be using Sense. Look for an option that says "mobile view" that should be unchecked.

Then i'm up a creek. I personally barely use facebook. I think i have 8 friends. Different story for a different time, but IMHO facebook blows.
I think the video was in some wierd format that is why it wouldn't play. Flash plays fine. Problem solved
Thank you.
Hey, I had two questions:
First, I can't seem to get the wireless storage built-in app to work on Chrome. When I enter the web address it says to, Chrome can't load it. IE explorer works correctly with it (now THAT'S a first!). Any ideas?
Second, what's the deal with the default launcher pinch to zoom action? When you pinch to zoom out, it shows all of your screens. However, when you pinch to zoom in, everything just kind of disappears on your home screens. It's really bizarre, any idea what the point of this action is?

just pinched the screen, went to a card view of my screens, then pinched "out" and it worked fine.

Maybe my wording was bad, but try pinching the other way ("in" I guess) from the home screen. It's weird.
haha that is weird..wtf..can you have 2 sets of homescreens maybe?
That was actually one of the tips that the phone pops up. Not sure what the purpose is really...

it is a network share. on Windows, go to start, run (or windows key + R), and type in the address it pops up. when you see \\hostname, that means it's a share.

Just open "my computer" or any desktop folder, where you see the destination "computer" you type in the network address given by your G2
