I JUST uninstalled this browser for something called maxathon or something. Guess I'm going back to dolphin xD

Awesome... great app.
Recent update helped, but 5.0 is refusing to load every few pages. Seems like a pretty widespread thing looking at the reviews. Hope they fix it soon!

The newest version of opera mobile is the best browser out at the moment, super smooth scrolling and no hw acceleration yet!

Nope, it "alleviated" some of the loading, but 4.6 is still much faster. They'll work it out eventually.

No kiddin'! It's really nice! But it's not displaying some pages properly and it isn't recognizing/converting pages like ESPN.com into the mobile version.
It's a great alternative to Dolphin HD though! Thanks for the heads up!
Yeah I am using opera mobile, the newest version.

Yeah, the only problem, and the reason I stopped using Opera, is that it doesn't parse Youtube links correctly, and it's amazing how many of those I realize that I run across now that it doesn't work right.
I'll give Dolphin 5 a shot, using Miren right now. I just wish these stupid browsers would have HW acceleration like Opera (seems) to have. Everything is just so slow and choppy. Not sure if it's my live wallpaper that's doing it or not, but it's annoying.
Great

Opera Mobile for me. The pure smoothness and speed is unparalleled.
Interface-wise, Firefox is tops though. Too bad it's way too slow

Turned the "mobile view" setting ON, and somewhat works for that site.
Just tried seems like it loaded some sort of mobile page, but looks like its missing some graphics elements, not sure how it is supposed to look. Anyway, screen big enough for me to use full site, i basically hate when something forces to load the mobile site instead.
Hi all,
Is it only me who feels bad about official twitter app - I mean bad performance & lag on GN 4.0.2?

Go to settings and turn on GPU acceleration. It makes pretty much everything faster and without lag.
Use Seesmic - by far the best twitter client imo.

This, sort of. It will make twitter run smooth but some apps won't work altogether with it enabled. (Just some examples Capital One Mobile app, and Asphalt 6).

Yeah have tried them all, but keep going back to seesmic. Even though it FC's sometimes on ICS..
Just played with Twitter on my Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S Vibrant (with Passion ICS) and it seems like it's noticeably quicker at scrolling and opening tweets on my Vibrant.
Weird. It still works well enough on the Galaxy Nexus, so I'm not bothered by it. Kinda surprised though that it is a bit slower, I guess the larger screen, dunno.
Thank you all...
I tried them all. I prefer hootsuite. But recently I wanted to try the official twitter app (never tried the new design version before). I like the rich features it has and the design. But the last few days was bad experience with this app. It lags. The drag to refresh keeps running so when i get back to app, I often don't find my time line at the same position I left it.
Thanks for the new thing I learnt now: 2d GPU rendering. Yes I noticed smoothness but some other apps were distorted, e.g., mynetdiary and hootsuite itself.

Replying to tweets is noticeably slower on my phone than my girlfriend's myTouch 4G. I think it's just an optimization thing as I believe AP or AC did an article on the slowness of the app on ICS. It is what it is...

Yes i get bad lag on the official twitter app too. Gpu hardware enabled does not help at all either. But its always been like this for me and the twitter app had identical lag on my atrix too. So i always thought this app had issues, not my phones.
I'm not really fussed about the speed of Twitter, I just wish it would sync my Twitter friends and contacts..... Constantly get a "Sync Error".

Best to switch to a different Twitter app. using 2D rendering might benefit the official Twitter app but might work against other apps.

Since Dolphin Browser HD recently dropped support for Flash on all Jelly Bean devices, including the Nexus 7, people have been needing the old version of Dolphin Browser HD for use with Flash. Well, here you are.
APK Download: http://dl.apktops.com/app/201206/Dolphin_Browser_HD_8.5.1.apk
If you need Flash Player, check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771463
Thanks
Thanks OP, very kind of you!
*Edit - Although Flash seems to work fine, when trying to go full screen it crashes out immediately. Currently Firefox does not have this problem.
This is great. I miss the pinch to zoom and the more functional address bar though. Not a poblem.
Anyway to tell the Play Store not to update it?

As of right now, no. I guess that's the price to pay to have Flash working on it though.
Maybe if everyone keeps giving it 1 star for disabling Flash, Dolphin will get the message and add it back.

Thanked
Did this yesterday and it's been smoooooth sailing so far. I'm new to Android and this made things a ton easier. :good:
I wonder if there is a way to change the apk or program to make it think your are running ICS so it still enables flash, besides editing the build.prop. From the Google Play update log it sounds like its merely disabling flash on JB while still allowing it to work on ICS/GB, so the flash supporting part of Dolphin is still there, its just being disabled.
I've been using XScope Browser.
Seems like Flash support is a little bit better on that one, but I haven't tested it extensively. Amazon Instant Video can be played full-screen, which is nice. I tried that with Dolphin, but it kept crashing.

Same.. I haven't had an issue with it for ages.. It does what it's supposed to do.
I just go to facebook.com, looks just like PC version that way.
Facebook app is fine its smooth and fast no lag for me whatsoever
It takes 10-20 seconds of a black screen before it loads, but after that it works fine.
The problem i have is with its widget, i sometimes get a blank widget or it doesnt update.
Anyone with those issues??
I use flipboard for facebook, I really like the magazine format.
What's up with the Facebook website and Android? The input fields don't allow your dictionary to work and gets all screwy trying to type and backspace. It does this on any browser I've tried.
I just use Android Pro Widgets to use the Facebook and Twitter widgets for feeds, and click through to Facebook occasionally for notifications and IMs. I don't need instant notification about anything related to Facebook.

No issues here with the Facebook app. Loads in less than 2 seconds. Now on my phones it is a different story. They haven't ran it right in a year or so.
No problems here, more speed is needed with all apps to support Nexus 7 Quadcore CPU

Friend caster is pretty nice. Dual panel layout and everything. One problem with the official Facebook app is that it took so long for it to start up like 20 seconds for a black screen then another ten on the splash screen. Completely ridiculous. I heard they forced their employees to use android phones instead of I phones just to make them feel the crap they made for android.

The S4 can't play youtube videos in 720/1080p 60 fps. Is there a hack to allow us to watch in 60fps???
I used my dad's note 3, and he can watch youtube in 60fps, but not my s4. I can't watch certain videos in HD when they only allow 60fps for their 720/1080p videos. Sucks.
Example. Dawkins nba videos only uses 720/1080p 60fps. So I can only watch them in 480p. Gotta be an app that works around that.

I can't even get 720p on mine. I used to have it on custom roms but I went back to stock rooted and the highest I get is 480p
go to the youtube app settings and change the limit data usage.
60fps youtube, download install root explorer, start app, accept root access, go to root directory, system, hold and press build.prop, open in text editor, find ro.product.model=SGH-M919, change the "SGH-M919" to "GT-I9505", save backout, go to app settings application manager, all, clear data for google play market and youtube, reboot.
You can have a 1080p60 option but it will freeze while sound play, so i choose gt-i9505 to only have the 72060fps option instead of frozen 108060fps, also i recon you have cm12.1 instead of touchwiz because cm12.1 is more updated and faster than touchwiz, 40fps for touchwiz and 60fps for cm12.1 with performance enabled in settings, so if you want a true 60fps playback from youtube then install cm12.1 with the instructions from above over it,
Just leave a thanks, ill appreciate.

Thank you so much. I'm gonna try it right now.
Edit: It worked. Thank you.
A lot of videos start off glitched, and the screen is gray, but all you have to do is start the video back to 0:00, and it'll act right.
Gonna hold off on CM12.1. Never trust it with GPS and data and whatnot. I'm good with 40fps for now, maybe when I feel like experimenting a little, I'll try it out.
Edit #2: Now all videos start off with weird lines, unviewable and gray, but not the end of the world. Just have to start the video back to 0:00 and back to normal video. Not a huge deal.

I was on stock Metro PCS ROM and the highest quality I'd get was 480p rare to get 720p on videos just regular not 60fps. I flashed Albe's Lollirom and I get 720p and 1080p on every video I've watched that has that option and if the video has 720p60fps I get the option to use it too. I believe it's just an option on Lollipop because on KitKat I haven't seen it. If you want to flash Lollipop Touchwiz I recommend Lollirom or Osiris. Main difference is that Lollirom has lot S6 features and Osiris is more stock but with some features. Both are really good.
Ok this sucks. Yeah it "works", but now it glitches for every video and the playing it back at 0:00 doesn't work now. Changing back to sgh m919.
Edit: nvm, you gotta play it at 720p 60fps for my way to work.

I think it's just lollipop that is optimized for it. I had Lollirom and it was smooth there. Switched back to kitkat and it's laggy. I think I'll just stick with KitKat because I get better performance in games than with lollipop. I would go with CM but the camera isn't really good compared to when using TouchWiz and the Samsung features aren't there.

It's not that bad. If you'd like to try it out what I would do is make a backup in two and have it to save to the SD Card and then flash a lollipop rom. That way if you don't like it you can just restore everything you had before you flashed lollipop.
