how do I stay logged in at XDA

I use dozens and dozens of forums across the interwebs, and yet I can't seem to stay logged in at XDA and do on every other forum I use. Every time I leave and come back, I have to log in... it gets real real annoying. Am I missing some setting, or is that just the way it is here?

no thanks...
really, this is a default setting here? no "keep me logged in" setting??

I use opera web browser and manage to always stay logged on on xda whilst on my PC.. The thing is, I auto saved my password/username upon the first entering and also I never log off the forums account. Does the trick.

^^ That's all I do and I never have to log in. If this doesn't work for you then check that you have cookies enabled.

Yes but as far as I recall last time I checked it doesn't allow you to create a master password which is a bad lack or security imo.
Firefox is much better.

I don't see this problem, All what I'm dong is to check the "Remember Me" box, and it does it all.

Firefox is good for a backup browser, it's heavy as hell. I got almost 1 Gb of RAM used when a lots of tabs are opne. Chrome use half of this with the same tabs opened.

Mozilla Firefox xD

If you use LastPass, you can make a master password and set sites to automagically log you in. This doesn't work on all sites, and some sites will fight LastPass over login protocols, so it's kind of a trial and error thing to get it to gel right with your online experience. Facebook for example works well. Bookmark the root site (Facebook.com) and set it to auto login. It just works. And it works in all the major browsers, even little ole Chrome.
I prefer Firefox... well, Pale Moon... well, Pale Moon Portable, haha. Same difference. Between Adblock Plus, NoScript, and Cookie Whitelist With Buttons (silly name, don't laugh, it does good) and a search box, Chrome just can't keep up. I've been fortunate enough to have avoided the memory leaks that Chrome users say made them switch, and Pale Moon is plenty fast enough for me. I could run Windows 2000 if all I cared about was speed. You start adding features, it slows down a hair, it's a fair trade.
Anyway, I've checked "Remember Me" when I log in, and it still likes to log me out after ~5 minutes of inactivity. Cookies are fine but I'm only accepting first-party cookies (i.e. from xda-developers.com while I'm here). NoScript is blocking a script from netshelter.net. It's allowing them from google-analytics.com, googleapis.com, and of course xda-developers.com.

Anyone finds HTC ONE V's web browsering to be quite choppy?

I've tried different browsers, the stock one, Chrome, FireFox, Opera Mini, Dolphin mini and Boat browser,
all of them seem to be quite choppy except Opera Mini which is using different kind of rendering method,
but too bad the mobile sites are ass ugly in Opera Mini and you can't change it's user agent.
I've heard that the web browsers in ICS are improved a lot, so is it just me or is it a common problem? I want to know which one are you guys using too.
Also, I found that the keyboard to be quite unresponsive, after it pops up you need to wait for 1 or 2 seconds to actually able to type, how do I fix this problem?

Yes, I am facing that problem too.
I have no clue why that is so.
Try using Dolphin Browser, it might solve some problems!

Yeah when I had the One, browsing wasn't as pleasant of an experienced. The keywords input was laggy and it just wouldn't work as good as it should. That's one area where I thought the One V fell behind..

Working fine for me
Browsing is working fine for me in default browser, except that it can not open more than 3 tabs at a given time.

BTW, running Browsermark I get the following results:
Stock browser: 40,653
Dolphin HD: 44,018
Chrome Beta: 74,228!!!!
I didn't believe it at first so I repeated the test and got the same result. When you watch the test you can really see the difference.
I can't wait until Google works out the bugs in Chrome and it becomes more stable. It's going to be the browser to beat.

Now that I've rooted I'm getting getting some strange behavior with Chrome and see the double keyboard sometimes and pieces of the keyboard showing up sometimes.

Why wouldn't Opera Mini work?
There are two browsers: Opera Mobile web browser and Opera Mini web browser. I think Opera MINI SHOULD WORK.

im using Dolphin HD, best browse for android, im prefer default browser in original ICS, its simple and truly fast

(Q) Best Browser?

Just wondering what alternate browsers you guys are using? ( if any) i have tried some personally but keep finding myself coming back to the default.( never thought i would say that but ics browser is amazing lol) what do you guys use?

Ics + browser is superb, nothing cones close for me. Stock browser with enhancements.

Chrome Beta.

I use the stock browser. Go to settings -> Labs -> and enable quick controls. I find them extremely useful and wish chrome beta would have a similar system. I used the chrome beta for a while and i liked it but found it still had some stability issues.

Hi,
If it can help:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625084&highlight=browser and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401434&highlight=best+browser and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487290&highlight=best+browser

Still stuck on the stock browser, but I´m not liking it very much. Was thinking of trying out the Firefox browser since I´m running it for many years on all my computers. But at the same time I like to keep things light and not install something I don´t really need.
Anyone got any experience with Firefox on the phone?

Stock for me. Before used Opera. Tried Chrome and didnt like it at all

Only Opera.
Because
1) I like controls (back, tabs etc.) on the bottom of the screen. Stock browser requires a very long thumb to access address bar.
2) I like the starter page with thumbs of my bookmarks.
3) Switching between tabs is much faster with Opera (because it's at the bottom).
4) etc.
I wish Opera was a bit faster. But can't complain about the speed when it's so convenient to use (comparing to stock browser or dolphin).

Opera Mobile.
It crashes sometimes but only when I open more than ten tabs and all of them are opening pages at that moment. Opera force close and restart helps.

Stock browser. The best.

I like Boat Browser.

I really love Chrome beta, but it feels so sluggish on my device... so I've been using ICS Browser+.

Ics Browser+ in tablet mode. Fast and convenient.

Chrome Beta. Combined with desktop Chrome and the new sync tabs feature, it's a breeze moving between phone and desktop.

I'm surprised so many are using stock browser but nor using ics + browser instead.

Stock, but going Chrome when it's out of Beta

Chrome Beta as my main browser. Still keeping stock available for when I need to watch flash videos (though I have to say Google did amazing on the stock browser this time). And if I ever need to watch a Hulu video then I have Flash Video Browser for that

Opera Beta (now rebased off WebKit)

Giving this a try, would like feedback from you guys as well. Looks like a reskinned Chrome tbh!

I only just read about this last night and will be road testing this for sure. Looking for a new browser since my much loved Dolphin seemed to be hogging way too much battery.

Browser is awesome:thumbup: very fast

Yes, I'm very impressed with it and with its performance so far.

I like it myself but as I don't have any problems with Google Chrome on my phone. I think the biggest thing that will keep me as a chrome user on my android phone would be the syncing between my desktop, laptop and mobile device. I doubt opera would ever allow themselves to sync their bookmarks with chrome.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

I think its not way faster, but definitly Faster than the latest chrome.
And now the chrome has a bad text rendering making the text so unsharp, then Opera beta is absolutly my choice until Google fixes chrome.

latest chrome as in Chrome Beta? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.beta&hl=en
I feel that Opera is slightly faster but the bookmarks is one of the things that got me on Team Chrome still.
I wish there was autohide on the URL bar when you scrolled down similar to AOSP browser though.

Like reskinned chrome without tab swipe, or other device sync. So not really similar at all lol.
I guess it's ok. Nothing of interest to me though. It's just a regular old style browser with no features that seem useful.
Angel browser seems most interesting to me but it's pretty buggy and no dev support... And no other device sync... Man that's a good feature.

Well to be fair it is in beta. The feature that opera advertises to put them out of the crowd would be off the road feature.
We all think it's chrome because it uses webkit which is what chrome uses. And chrome is the leader of webkit in terms of putting it out there on the map.
Mozilla uses gecko and the old opera browser uses trident.
I'd say it's a pretty successful beta 1 and looking forward to see what else they have to put out there.

Presto.

Pretty much using it as my daily driver with no issues. Which is more then Chrome was able to do on its first "stable" release.
All the features I need are there and work. And if its little data saver counter is correct then it is certainly friendly on a mobile network like old opera mini.

Google News doesn't work on my G-Pad. Anyone else?

Hey Guys,
This issue is driving me absolutely crazy. Since I've had my G Pad, I have never successfully gotten news.google.com to work. It loads, then disappears and I am left with a blank page. I refresh, nothing. I did a factory reset, nothing. I just upgraded to the 4.4.2 KitKat leaked build, nothing - same issue. I really don't want to have to install another browser just to get to Google's own news page!
Am I the only one here? This seems so simple, yet it's so frustrating. My LG G2 works fine, my wife's Galaxy S4 works fine, my Nexus 7 works fine, etc. All using Chrome!
-Collin-

I also can't get news.google.com to work with the default web browser or Google Chrome. But it work with UC Browser HD for Tablet. My G Pad is updated to kit Kat

I also have this issue but have you tried holding it in landscape orientation? Try both with auto rotate screen on. If you have the page loaded and go to landscape and then back to portrait it does work but still does not look correct.

It bears mentioning that the Google Newstand app is designed specifically to display Google News on mobile devices. Otherwise there are some excellent 3rd party apps to read Google New, the best of which is NewsHog, which I use. For the record, I use Firefox for Android and can easily see Google News, but NewsHog is a far superior experience IMHO.
