The default web browser, does only allow for a limited number of screens/windows opened at the same time.
That's is not enough as I surf, sometimes I might have as many as the pages opened at the same time.
The sad thing is that DHD doesn't allow me more than three or four and I cant find any settings to change it.
Got Opera Mini on my DHD too but...
My Android 2.1 X10 Mini browser does allow for more pages opened than DHD and 2.2.
Any improvements in 2.3?
Ever heard of a bookmark?

Look what a search found 16 tabs instead of 4?
Bingo
@nobnut
Thank-you very much (love you long time)
That thread had the solution for my little problem.
Have heard of "Search function" but I have always thought it was an urban legend
Will use it next time.

First post.
Just ordered the SGS2, migrating over to T-mobile from (godawful) AT&T on the (godawful) E71x.
I've done a bunch of skimming here, tons of good info.
Question: is there a definitive, "go to" guide to get up and running with the SGS2? I want to hit the ground running when it shows up next week. I see some noob guides to Android, but most are quite dated.
Thanks in advance.
get titanium backup and ROM manager apps so u will be prepared when it's rooted. Get a proper home launcher like zeam launcher,etc.

I'd skip the other home launchers, I like the TouchWiz 4 launcher a lot more than those other launchers.
MOG is an excellent music subscription service with high quality lossy downloadable streaming music.
I like Opera Mobile for fast connections. It works well with most websites. I use Opera Mini when I'm on EDGE or GPRS. I use Firefox Beta 8 in the market if Opera Mobile doesn't want to work with a certain site or if I want to access Firefox Sync. Set your User Agent to Desktop with both browsers. Firefox isn't my main browser because it doesn't support flash and it's intensive in CPU usage but Opera Mobile does support flash and it tends to be easier on the processor.
Tunein radio is awesome
What are you looking for though?
I agree that tunein radio is awesome, it's my go to app for internet radio.
The first thing I did was a factory reset, I did it before I ever left the store. I waited until I got home and connected to wifi before I began my setup. It did not have the new market so after adding my google account I opened the market and closed it. I then turned my screen off and left it alone for 20 or so minutes so it could sync from Google. After 20 minutes I had the new market and all my contacts were there.
So I would recommend those steps to begin and whatever you do after is up to you. That is the great thing about Android, everyone is allowed the experience of their choosing!

I would do the same thing as far as syncing goes. I also once owned an E71, I loved the hardware on those phones but not the OS... I'd get acquainted in general with Android for a bit, check out the market, and go from there. Few helpful tips:
-holding down the home button brings up task manager
-the option key (far left) is useful in a lot of situations. If you're stuck in an app but want to change it's settings or don't see the button you need, try hitting option!
-set up gmail and Facebook if you'd like to have sync'd contacts including contact photos
-if you use dropbox, go grab the app from the market!
-if you tap the home button and the lock button at the same time, it will take a screenshot. The screenshot can be found in the gallery under that name (screenshots), if you open it in there and tap on the image, more options will appear below so you can share the image with us for example if you need help with something.

I use stock browser with quick controls turned on. This has happened about three times now. I'm on a forum andi have about 4 or 5 browser tabs open. I'm finishing a long letter and I'm hitting the submit button. Suddenly I'm at android's home screen. I hit the browser button and my letter is gone including all tabs.I don't know what I'm doing to cause this.i don't even know what buttonsi could hit to make all the browser tabs to close at once. Does anyone have any idea? Thanks.
You're running out of memory. If rooted, try changing your low mem settings.

If you are running out of memory while browsing the web, there is something wrong with your unit. That should not be happening.
Is that what's really going on? I thought maybe I was hitting a combination of keys with the outer palm of my hand or something.
My evo 3d has a gig of memory (800 something useable), and to many browser tabs, plus some music playing, etc will kill my browser. It's not really out of memory per se just the oom value of the browser gets up there too high. Especially with the values most people set by default on custom roms. What's the default for the tab?

I don't understand. How do I look that up?
It happened today also and I'm positive this time I didn't accidentally hit any buttons or keys.
Every problem I had went away when I installed Opera browser. No more crashes. No more stuttering, choppy YouTube videos. Working select text, copy, and paste. No more bumping the wrong links or accidently closing on-screen keyboard because I hit the spacebar wrong. No more opening windows because my finger accidently strayed across the screen. Everything just works now. Boy am I glad I tried Opera. If you're having any of these issues I suggest giving Opera a try.
Unfortunatly, Opera wont work for some sites that use certain javascript functions and most sites that I use break in Opera (tables & forms dont show up properly). Luckily Ive never really had a problem with the stock browser, but I think the reason why is because I have pluggins set to On Demand. If you ever feel like giving the stock browser another shot I'd highly recommend to keep the plugins set to on demand and clearing out the cache every once in a while doesnt hurt either.

Could you please give some examples of sites that "break in Opera"? I am using Opera exclusively and I haven't experienced that problem.
I havent tried using Opera Moble recently, but the last time I worked with it one of my banking sites wouldn't let me login due to javascript errors that were only present while using opera. Also, I use my tablet for supporting customers while out in the field and the primary site I support does not function properly under opera (things like javascript links, the div wrapped tables and embedded videos do not display properly or sometimes not at all).
Opera is great for sites using html5 and simple javascript functions, but I cant use it as my daily driver when it wont play nice with my development stuff and refuses to render pages properly that my clients create. I want to be able to use one browser for everything, not be in the middle of a call and have to tell a customer "oh wait, give me just a sec I have to switch browsers, I forgot your site uses a ajax generated, javascript pop-up and I cant scroll it".
I'd link a specific site as an example, but it would require customer permissiions to do so since their site requires authentication but here's a charted example you can see that while opera has issues other browsers do not: www.quirksmode.org/m/table.html
For the general public though, you shouldnt have an issue.
Hi guys
Just wondering who had given the new Firefox release a whirl on their HOX.
Ideally wanted to get your comments on the usability end- I know the stats seem to blow other things out the water.
So chiefly:
*User interface with regards to tabs, menus, labels
*Rendering of text and images (speed/quality)
*Ability to reflow text, if at all
*Memory/GPU usage
I'm a big fan of the stock browser because I use the "Readability" option a lot. Double-tap to fit text to the screen isn't such a bad thing either.
Cheers
Install it and have a go? Probably could've done it by the time you'd written this post!
I use Chrome purely as it syncs my bookmarks with my other PCs
I personally use Dolphin Browser HD it's excellent but will give this a shot and see how it compares.
I did like Dolphin cause it has an exit button but prefer the sync options in Chrome
I saw that coming
Cheers guys - I expected everyone to tell me to try it for myself but I wanted to gauge how users felt.
Using it now and yeah, it's incredibly snappy but Sense browser seems to fit my usage better.
Gave it a quick try, the only thing I dislike it has no native full screen mode I like browsing in full screen mode and the add on sucks, as in you have to exit out of it each time you want to change URL. But speed seems fine.
Oh, also hate the text rendering as always in firefox. Sure this can be changed within the about configs.
maxthon browser and Chrome for me firefox blahhh:silly:
The new Firefox browser renders pages at 39.6 fps..chrome comes second with 21 fps n stock browser at 19 fps..

Using Opera myself, but may give this ago as like firefox on the old lappy
The new Firefox 14 definitely the best competitor for chrome..
So I just want the perfect browser. Here is what I'm looking for. I don't like how browsers I.e.. chrome has some words big some small. Htc one browser does his good. It also does a great job of fitting the words on the screen when you zoom. In fact it would be perfect if it didn't reload web pages and kept The active throughout day. I.e.. on aosp roms I can sign into a web site that actively updates throughout day and it stays alive. I can goto that tab and its still right where i left off. It seems as if the htc one browser constantly reloads tabs as opposed to just keeping them in memory. Is there a fix for this on htc one browser? Or a way to port a browser from aosp Rom or any suggestions that do a good job of this?

I use Opera browser. It saves tabs and shows them on the next opening of the app,, providing you don't back out of it and just hit the home button to exit.
On a side note has anyone else come from or have a windows phone because compared to IE11 on WP I find that both browsers are really slow.

Thanks. Does it save the "state" of the tab? Or will it reload the page automatically. That is the problem with stock is it automatically reloads the tabs. It doesn't keep the current state in memory

I like using it but now after cleaning and updating to Bad Boyz v1.2 I get not compatible with device. Web browser app sucks. Anyone else use HTC IE? It worked fine updating dirty...
Sorry to dig up a 3 months old thread, but I too love the HTC stock internet browser.
I just can't get used to Chrome or Firefox mobile on Android, like some user said, why the hell did Google remove text reflow from their webview browser? as a 40+ man, I have hard time reading those tiny text on the tiny phone screen. both browser implementation on the text resize suck big time! they either do not zoom enough or zoom too much, or worst, zoom the wrong texts on the screen.
I got fed up and download the HTC internet apk from some website , surprisingly, it install and run without major issue, for now. I wonder what will the cons of using unsupported app/browser in HTC 10?
p.s. I don't know if linking some app website is allow so I won't do it. just google HTC internet and it should comes up nicely.
