My xoom seems to struggle navigating through xda. It is very slow and laggy and very tough trying to navigate through the site. Anyone else suffer through this ?
Thanks for any feedback.
how long have you had it?
What browser are you using?
Mine was horribly laggy for a day or two after I got it. I couldnt believe this tegra 2 device couldnt hang with my evo??
After a few days it really smoothed out in several ways, especially browsing the web.
Now it owns my evo, as it should
Go to the bottom of any FDA page and set viewing to "xda classic". Fixes the laggy experience.

Have to second that. opera works in web mode fine with all of the forums that I've tried..
Mine was slow as heck at first but after a day or two it started running great in stock browser, it coincided with my installing flash but I highly doubt it's related.

You can got to Settings ---> Applications ---> Browser ---> Clear cache. Did this couple of days ago and the browser seems scroll much smother.
You can also set Enable plug-ins in Browser advance settings to on demand. this will stop browser automatically loading flash contents.

Yeh, like I said though, mine started slow and got faster, I didnt clear cache and didn't turn anything off or chance any settings, all I did was install flash. Weird, but I'm happy with the performance so far.

Astonishing how much this setting helps. I recently switched to that a few days ago and I can now enjoy XDA on my tablet.
(While I'm a huge proponent for using Opera Mobile on Android 2.x, I don't like it for Honeycomb because it doesn't follow the normal text selection conventions in the OS and it isn't (yet) HW accelerated to my knowledge. Barring XDA 2010 theme on the XDA site, I get much better performance from the HC stock browser than Opera Mobile when on my tablet.)
Likewise, thanks for the tip on changing it to xda classic. Scrolling is much smoother on the stock browser now.
Thanks for all the advise and help really do appreciate it. I changed setting to classic and WOW makes a huge difference. I've had my xoom few weeks since it came out and love it. This was one of my complains because my brother owns an ipad and he uses my xoom to navigate through xda and always complains, now that is fixed Once Again THANKS ALL
The xda donate version (I thinks its offically called the premium app) works well on xoom.
Sent from my Xoom the way it should be, rooted and with SD card.
i had the laggy xda site too after i installed flash. Once I set web pages to use plugins on demand, (settings -> advanced -> enable plugins -> on demand), thepages load much faster and scroll smoothly. I think it was all the flash-based ads that were making the browser slow down.
I've noticed this helped other sites as well, so if you are experiencing browser lag on other sites, try this method. Hope it helps!
I had a similar experience with my Acer A500. Thanks for the suggestion about using the classic theme. With the XDA 2010 theme even entering text was a laggy chore, and that is with plugins set to on-demand. Switching to the classic theme solved the lag, and has made posting much more pleasant. I will share this information over in our neck of the woods.
i've also noticed that portrait scrolls better than landscape.
Thanks for the "XDA Classic Theme" tip!
Hi,
I have a strange issue, when i opened my Gnote for the first time when it was new,
The default Internet Browser was awesome, if i remember correctly it had a 3 doted icon on the toolbar, when you pressed it it opened an extended menu with options like changing User Agent (iPad, android and so on)
After updating it using OTA, the new internet browser turned into very simple one without many options, all the options to change user agent disappeared and many otehr advanced options disappeared too.
The setting menu has very few settings...
Do you know what happened? Is there a way to return that awesome browser? Maybe a APK file?
Thanks
My browser is the same from the beginning but it will be nice to have better one with user agent.

You are wrong. The browser has an effect on the device's temp since it is using the processor's full potential and yeah I know that the device gets hot while charging
The point is that charging and using delphin hd make the device really hot..

What full potential ? R u kidding, didnot u c the video that some one is running 4videos including 2 on youtube and many floating browser windows Are opened and playing a game and still the device processor is not at full potential???
The true info that browsing internet using 3G data have the maximum drain of battery due to the usage of continuous screen and power needed for 3G connection beside the processor,
Try to open just google with wifi and without plugging the charger and u will be sure that u r totally wrong
Plz check ur battery usage status also during this
Heat is caused mainly by charging or diacharging the battery or processor operations not mainky because of a browser
Lets do it in a practical way:
More processing= more heat=more battery drain=more heat again
And by checking those snapshots u will find that even my 3D live wallpaper and other tools have more battery drain than my browser,so now my device should be heated forever??

Take a few graphic heavy sites and test the time to download...then test boat browser....guarantee that'll be your fastest one.
Features like the air view, and the flip to silence or any of that.
I don't want it, but a friend of mine needs it. Also, preferably, without reducing the smoothness of vanilla.
For stock w/o root if possible but will root if needs be.
Are there apps that do this or does he have to flash something or what?
Look at Locale or Tasker in the Play Store for flip to silence. Air View will only be found in TW.

Yep. I've tried using the S-Pen on my phones and they never work. So air view would probably not work. It would probably need extensive hardware and software modding to get it to work.
Isn't air view basically just a combination of your front camera and proximity sensors?
What about the eye scrolling thing?
Or the thing where when you look away from the phone the video pauses?

All those things are a TW feature/Gimmic only. They will never work on AOSP based roms. Even the GE version of the S4 doesnt have those things.

If you go in to recent apps, you can grab a multi view capable app by its header and drag it on to the screen. It turns the app in to a pop up window. So if you're using the browser in full or split view doing this turns it in to a pop up preserving all your info.
You can also do that by dragging down your current active window from the left or right top corner, drag it down to the center of the screen. Need so practice before u get it done, but when u do it correctly u will feel so easy haptic feedback.
If u got root and have an app like MW Commander which u use to make every app multi window, it will also enable this pop up view for all apps.

Hey there. Are you getting a Note 5? It's really an amazing phone and you and I both go through enough phones to know the difference. Samsung's pulled a bunch of features and settings out and I miss some. But the benefit of thinner and lighter s/w paired with uber fast memory and storage is a smoothness and tightness you'd expect from an iPhone. It's pretty too.

I'm actually leaning towards getting an IPhone 6S....I know I know. But we will see, I may change my mind. I know the Note 5 Is a solid phone.

this feature was available on the note 4
You would access it by opening the side panel (thats now gone from the note 5) and then simply tapping the app you want. It would bring it up as a floating app.

And it is really useful too. I use it a lot e.g. when I need to quickly refer to a note I made while browsing and I do not wish to even minimize the browser , there are a lot of such instances.
I know
You can still do it now but it takes extra steps.
Looks like Samsung is going backwards. Or did I buy the S6 by mistake?
Hi friends is there any option to keep alive popup app like i watching live stream in case i press home button my popup live stream app need to play agian. I need keep on top always .

Hi,
I've been searching the internet for a solution to have the Note 4 multi window functionality for my Note 3 (especially the floating window part). So far I've only found partial answers, but no real solution.
So here's my question: is it possible? If so, please point me in the right direction
Thanks!
If this is what you mean by multiwindow, flashing a Note 7 ported ROM might be the easiest way to get this, can't say about stock ROM though as I've only used stock for a week or two

Yeah it's exactly that what I mean.
Do the ported Note 7 ROMs work flawlessly on the Note 3? I want the multi window functionality, but not if let's say my camera suddenly doesn't work that good anymore.
Thanks.

Multi window is implemented in any Note3's stock rom since... always ! It's odd that you ask this question.
You did not find it or you do not know how to use it ?

This is cool for people without a Galaxy Note phone, because it adds the functionality of the Pen App Launcher. But what this module does, I can already do with the stock rom of the Note 3. What the Note 4 (and the following Notes) make it better is that they've bundled all the multi window functionality into one "app" or "launcher" (don't know how to call it).
On the Note 3, you have the regular multi window functionality (with the sidebar), and the floating window functionality (which can be launched with the S Pen, or a Pen Launcher App).

I'll definitely try that if nothing elses excists, but I prefer to use the stock ROM so I'll wait a little bit more.

Everything you are describing that the Note 4 does can already be done in Note 3 but maybe you just don't know how to do it yet. Are you referring to being able to open up Facebook in normal mode and then trying make it in to a floating window? All you have to do is have the Multi-Window option "On" and then drag, with either your finger or your pencil, from either top corner drag down and it turns into a floating window.
YOU CAN ONLY DO THIS WITH SUPPORTED APPS (Chrome, Facebook, Whatsapp, etc...)
You need a custom ROM (Like Phronesis N7 that has already been mentioned) to be able to do this with ANY app
Let me know if this answers your question. I am not sure why you think the Note 4 has something extra when it has the exact same features and the Note 3 Multi-Window features.

I'm afraid you're completely wrong. What you describing the Note 3 can't do. Another extra functionality the Note 4 has is that you can create a floating app if that app is in split screen mode. You can only get a floating app with the Note 3 by using the S-Pen Launcher.
Are you saying that the floating window I just opened did not actually happen ??

Well, it also depends on what version of stock ROM you are on. I had previously stuck with stock Lollipop 5.0 and I could easily access floating windows without the use of the S-Pen
I think if you are on Kit-Kat it's a whole different story. What version are you on?
