I have a rooted EVO and have installed the 8/01 Cyanogenmod nightly build rom, and I like it. But I can't open PDFs natively in the browser (or a popup) that are on my website by just tapping.
Can anyone point me in the right direction. I've tried the default browser, Dolphin HD, Xscope and Skyfire. All the browsers want to save the file rather than open it or they can't do anything with the file, like Xscope. I'm willing to install any rom.
Thanks a lot.
Yes, what's the deal with that...using a pdf viewer on my joomla sites. With the google pdf browser viewer solution, it renders using dolphin but not with other pdf embed site plugins? ??

Adobe Reader in market for free
I used to have the same problem... I have to access alot of PDFs through my schools website(d2l). Where the pdf should have appeared, it was just blank. Unexpectedly last week when I tried accessing the files, it started working for no apparent reason. The only thing Ive downloaded recently that could or could not have something to do with it is the Adobe AIR app in the market. Wish I could be more helpful this used to frustrate the hell out of me. Im running Skyfire BTW(Quickest in my opinion)
been using the stock browser but from previous experience its not the best.
currently trying opera (full version), which seems to be quite snappy, and I have noticed that typing lag is almost non existent.....this was very noticeable the stock browser.
personally I really like boat browser on my vibrant, but not available for tablets of yet.
dolphin browser
Opera browser mobile, is by far the best browser at the moment, although using for any text imput can be frustrating especially in pages like facebook due to the tap inside and out of the box issue, however I do like the stock browser apart from the typing lag which for some reason varies day to day. I am using the stock brower to write this and the lag is only slight this morning
I to use the stock browser, it seems pretty stable to me and pinch to zoom is very smooth.
Since i have exchanged my transformer i havent had any force closes with the stock browser yet.Admittedly i have only been using it for under 24 hours but it appears a lot more stable for some reason. I have the same apps installed so i have ruled out that an app was causing the stability issues. Iwill keep testing over the next few days but as of now iam happy with the performance apart from the standard keyboard lag.

I use Firefox as I'm a diehard Mozilla supporter. I like it more than the stock browser, but that's just me. And no I'm not a fanboy that thinks everyone should use Firefox I just prefer it over all other choices.
Stock browser for now.
I've been using Opera Mobile lately. It's nice and fast, though I prefer the layout on the stock browser. The stock browser is buttery-smooth most of the time, but chugs out occasionally. Opera, while not quite as smooth, is always constant. I've never seen it slow down.
I briefly tried Firefox and promptly removed it. It was the laggiest browsing experience I've encountered on my Transformer. I don't understand how they can make something so simple run so poorly.
My browser of choice is opera mobile. Aside from a few small annoyances I think it really blows the stock browser away except for the quick controls which are nice

Opera mini for most sites. Dolphin for desktop versions of sites. Stock for Facebook. xda works by far the best on opera mini. flash is broken on any browser still (google/asus fault) really hoping that is fixed soon.
I like to use stock browser, it is fast and the interface looks the best me, but it always crash (without any error prompt) keeping me to stay away from it. For now I use dolphin for stability.
Been using Dolphin Browser HD for a while now. Better than the stock browser which kept FC'ing on me. Havn't tried Opera yet, maybe I'll give it a go tonight.
I liked the stock one, but decided to try new ones to get rid of some lag.
I didn't like Dolphin neither Miren.
I thought Opera was great, but tehe textbox input is horrible . This is the third time I am writing the answer to this post , and I hate loosing typed text. I am googling to see if I can get rid of this textbox or else unistalling opera.
Regards.
Opera Mobile - almost perfect but strange tabs (if you can get used to it it should be perfect).
Dolphin Browser - great, but has severe issues with opening links in new tabs (and opening links in general).
Stock browser - not that bad either.
Try Maxaton Browser. It's designed specifically for 10-inch tablets. It also doesn't default to mobile sites.
Dolphin HD is good too, because there is a desktop mode setting. I don't need mobile sites on my "tab-uter"

Plus 1 for the above he is bang on.
I use opera for daily usage, but maxthon is nice too.
I mainly use the stock browser because it has the best keyboard shortcut support. I also use Dolphin HD because it has LastPass integration and the second-best keyboard support.
I keep Firefox around for when things don't work with those two, but it doesn't seem to support any keyboard shortcuts, which is strange. Opera and Maxaton, ditto, but not strange.
I wish a Desktop port for Firefox would come... But Opera has ZERO keyboard lag, vs all of the other browsers.
Opera also has a stupid tab browser, and text box issues.
Hell, a Chrome port would be amazing too! I want my addons/extensions! NOW!
Does your Stock Browser never crash, my stock browser crashes all the time.
Hey guys, got my S4 this morning and love it of course, what a great device. I have a few questions about the stock s4 browser though. I do browse quite a lot on daily basis and when I realized ICS browser (+) don't work, I tried the stock browser. Things I don't like on the stock browser:
1. no text reflow
2. no way of syncing bookmarks from my pc (ICS browser + did this, it automatically synced all my bookmarks from my desktop PC's chrome)
I don't think I can live comfortably with this browser. I've tried chrome (randomly changes font size, eww), ics browser and ics browser + (neither of these work on the s4) so far. Basically, I want a browser that does text reflow and syncs bookmarks. Any ideas? Thanks.
Would also like to know this..

there's no sign in that I can see for the browser
Try Dolphin or Opera Mobile.
ICS+ unfortunately only works in ICS (which is a shame because it was my favorite with the thumb controls).
For the sync, goto Settings=>Google (profile)
Tap your Google account (that's synced with Chrome) and make sure Browser is ticked ON.
There's no browser sync option under the google account, only chrome and that is ticked. The stock s4 browser still won't sync the chrome bookmarks. they do work in chrome, but not the "internet" stock browser. Chrome is ok on the s4, I guess, but some websites display some fonts with different sizes on the same page making it all look bad, plus there's no text reflow in mobile chrome.
Must be because of Samsung then. They probably want you to use some weird Samsung sync instead. Figures.
Chrome Mobile is pretty much the worst browser for Android at the moment. It doesn't reflow right all the time, randomly changes text sizes (especially in forums), isn't the smoothest, has input lag and can't use Flash in any iteration. The stock browser is so much better than I don't know why Google's Chrome team can't get it right.

yeah, the stock browser is pretty good actually, much better than chrome. but chrome syncs. which is a big plus. other than that, chrome sucks. ics browser worked on my s2 (jellybean) and it's a shame it doesn't work on the s4. let's hope there'll be a new browser soon that does sync, reflow and has a bookmark button next to the address bar. that's all I'm asking from a browser.
A little bit off topic, but any news on people working on some roms for the s4?

Thing is, stock browser also syncs with Chrome. But that's the Android stock browser apparently and not the Samsung stock browser for whatever reason.
Dolphin is pretty good and I think there's a Chrome extension to sync it to Dolphin.
Firefox Mobile syncs with Firefox and Opera Mobile syncs with Opera.
My most preferred browser is probably Opera just because it has been consistently smooth and quick while doing things like reflow properly.

when I say stock browser on the s4, I mean the stock samsung galaxy s4 browser. and that one unfortunately doesn't sync with chrome. shame. I've never used dolphin, that's about the only browser I've never tried.
It must be a bug, it has always synced the Chrome destop bookmark.
how often do your bookmarks change? just make shortcuts on one of your home screens imo.
i havent gotten my s4 yet, but on my droid 3 i just use adw launcher & create all the icons i want with the websites i use most, and/or the apps i use, with the icon i like for it. this way i dont have the ugly bookmark icons on the shortcut.
Not to hijack this thread, but how in the world do you go to the home page one has set for the stock Samsung browser? Cannot find a Home button anywhere. Also, cannot get desktop view to stick, has to be rechecked after anytime browser is closed. Anyone know how to make it permanent, other than using a different browser?
Naked browser ftw. Or nb pro the paid version.

Neither do i. Sam sets the text reflow, please.:crying:
someone needs to port the 4.2.2 AOSP browser to s4 touchwiz stat, had been doable for all previous galaxies and touchwiz versions so shouldn't be too much of a hassle.
otherwise both chrome and the sammy stock browser are literally unusable in this day and age...
where did it go the 'open behind this' option on link longpress?? aaaaahhhhhhhh
Hello we spend most ofof our time using our phones to browse the net. I can't remember when last I used my laptop. Can we please share what browser we use and why. I have always used chrome Dev as it's easily since across my devices with regards to passwords and bookmarks. I also think that Google Chrome Dev is fast and really smooth. I would be very interestedinterested to hear thosethose who use the s6 with the stock Samsung browser and what attracts you to it thanks.
I use multiple combinations but 2 stand out from the others. Mozilla Firefox and Chrome re those. They both are browsers that sync passwords, bookmarks, and saved pages, but firefox does have a better security framework than chrome since firefox has been working on this track the longest. So in my opinion firefox is the best browser to ise.

Uc browser for the add blocker and speed.
Opera because I it has Opera Turbo, nice interface and good performance. Also, it syncs with my PC.
I use as few Google services as possible so no Chrome for me
I use #NoChromo, a modded Chrome, for the sake of ad block.
I use Firefox Aurora only (nightly)
I use the stock browser just for the fact i can use my fringerprint to log in to sites, no more forgotten passwords
It's not very fast but I use Dolphin Browser cos it has AdBlock and Flash support (you still need Flash to view some pages). I think it's the only browser that support that both features.
i use chrome and firefox, but chrome si a little bit faster. i use adaway to remove ads and banners (need root)
Next browser for its UI, is speed, and the way it handles tabs and translation. Also very swishy, built for swiping!
Stock Samsung browser for speed and stability.
Opera for reliability.
Firefox just because Firefox.

Chrome with AdAway
You have to be rooted for that though
I used to use CM Browser and loved it. It was fast and I liked the favorites on the main page. Now it crashes constantly. It's been a long time since I had a change and I'm sure the ones I've tried in the past have many changes. Any opinions or if similar experiences with CM Browser?

I'm liking Via. Thanks. I would not have known about that one.
Chrome is the best. No added extra bs just a good fast browser , install adaway and it's even faster
Samsung Beta = winning. Best private mode with separate private mode bookmarks.
Yandex
Another vote for Brave Browser.
Mozilla Firefox. I like it because i can use all the browser plug-ins that I'm using in desktop.
Thanks for the input. I tried all suggested and I like Via so far. Apus was nice but I think Via was faster. Brave didn't seem as quick on my phone. Yandex reminded me of Chrome but I like the buttons on the bottom. I tried X browser too which was similar to Apus and Via if anyone is looking for ideas.
Chromium... best of the best.
