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)
Hello,
I bought the tablet 2 days ago.
I have some issues using it and couldn't find all the problems discussed here.
1. When I try to play a vimeo embedded file in the stock browser, it won't play.
I tried the following pages with their videos:
trafictube.ro, search for "transfagarasan" for example,
or second option, check for an episode of creativemonkeyz.com's series, named robotzi (can't post links, sorry).
The only one solution I found was to use Skyfire, Dolphin HD didn't worked.
Did anyone noticed this? Is there a way I can use the stock google chrome browser?
2. If I try to search this forum, it can't be done using the default browser, or dolphin. It works with skyfire, too?
Same for you? Another solution, maybe?
3. When I go to a page that has support for mobiles, they translate the address to the mobile version, like for smartphones (Google, Opera mini, Dolphin HD). The only one browser I found OK was skyfire, again.
Is there another way to change this behavior?
Thank you all for your answers!

Not sure about the first one but to solve the second isssue you can change the Browser User Agent in Browser Settings to Desktop.
1. Download the flash from here and install it. Reboot and it should works.
3. Within all browsers, there is option to switch to "Desktop or Full View". Look for User-Agent Header in the browser settings.
For those of you looking for an alternative browser to Silk, we have another player: Chrome.

So far I am testing Opera Mobile, Opera Mini, Dolphin and Chrome

Screenshots of Chrome 18.0.1025308 Android app
my kindle fire hd is not rooted.
i installed chrome on kindle fire hd and having this issue when trying to sign in.. i get "Sync: Android system sync disabled. Please re-enable and try again." message.
google apps such as google talk and youtube are working fine on my kindle fire hd.. which would mean that the sign-in is working for those apps.. chrome is having a problem. does the kindle fire hd have to be rooted for chrome to work? i tried this with chrome version 18. i also tried with chrome version 25 but sites like yahoo.com were not rendering on that version.. also syncing wasn't working (same error message).
appreciate your feedback. thanks.
Ice Cream Sandwich?

It's my understanding, based on a review at CNet, that this version requires ICS. Since I have been unable to root my Kindle, I need the earlier version. I had it before I reset to factory but the dropbox link at the top of this thread is no longer valid. Could you re-post it please?
This latest version seems to work for me except I can't get to a login screen and synchronicity is one of the main reasons I love Chrome.
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
My s10+ version is Exynos, google chrome is not smooth and sluggish, this problem never happen on Samsung browser or firefox. anyone got the same problem?
