I've been trying out different browsers. Opera Mobile (not mini) is really nice bit it is missing simple shit like "open in new tab" even though it has tabbed browsing and no way to longpress a link to copy it. Ratard status.

Firefox takes forever to load whenever you open it. Fts.

Gonna tey Miren and Dolphin HD now.

Jellyrolls · 05-25-2011, 02:34 PM

Dolphin is definitely my favorite. I don't understand why there's no chrome?

**stonehenge** · 05-25-2011, 02:49 PM

Probably no chrome because google makes the stock browser. The honeycomb browser looks pretty chrome-like.

Yeah I was using Dolphin HD Beta 2 and it would randomly not load pages and shit so I think I'm going to go back to the normal version on the market. Works betta.

Miren was decent but the User Agent doesn't appear to work right and it felt a little slow when scrolling.

MikeH · 05-25-2011, 06:17 PM

I just use teh stock AOSP browser

**stonehenge** · 05-25-2011, 06:18 PM

the only things i don't like about stock browser is having to go to a separate menu to see tabs and having to go into about:debug and settings to change user agent.

Other than that its quick and efficient.

MikeH · 05-25-2011, 06:26 PM

thats what I like about it. having tabs at the top adds too much clutter.

**stonehenge** · 05-25-2011, 06:31 PM

I don't mind since the scroll away with the top of the page. If they were on the screen at all times then fuck that shit

MikeH · 05-26-2011, 02:44 AM

they just started doing it but a pretty good deal if you dont want to sign a contract

JayBo · 05-26-2011, 02:51 AM

K I have a question

Jen has a Droid 2 global. It pretty much died.
So she got a new one in the mail. She wanted to take all her old texts and move them to the old phone. So before we deactivated the one one, I installes SMS Backup & Restore. I made a backup (over 7K messages).

Then we activated the new phone. I downloaded the same app, and did a restore.
It took about an hour to restore them all. When it was done, as soon as you opened the message app, it would freeze the phone. Lock it to where it was unuseable. So I installed
GO Sms on the new one and it will open the mesasges, but they are all in a fucked up order.

Is there an easier way to do this? I think SMS Backup & Restore is messing things up.

MikeH · 05-26-2011, 02:52 AM

try titanium backup

JayBo · 05-26-2011, 02:53 AM

that'll do texts? does it only do SMS, or MMS as well?

MikeH · 05-26-2011, 02:57 AM

should do both, i think gosms also has an option to backup texts

race2c · 05-26-2011, 02:59 AM

yes, on gosms there is a choice to backup sms messages. not sure if that includes mms, as well as, sms.

JayBo · 05-26-2011, 03:00 AM

it does. that was my next option, but I need to find a way to put it on the old phone besides reactivating it. I tried to install it on the SD card, but its not rooted, and she had to take her sister home from work so I got cut short

MikeH · 05-26-2011, 03:03 AM

no needs root to install apps from sd, just need to check unknown sources in settings and a file manager.

JayBo · 05-26-2011, 03:04 AM

Where does the market store the downloaded files?

MikeH · 05-26-2011, 03:07 AM

/data/app is where the market installs apps.

JayBo · 05-26-2011, 03:09 AM

Thank you kind sir! Maybe tomorrow I can get it going.

MikeH · 05-26-2011, 03:15 AM

No problem. Also if you havent called VZW about your Thunderbolt and its reboots, you need to cuz they will replace it. They are replacing them like crazy right now.

JayBo · 05-26-2011, 03:20 AM

Really?! It does it all damn day.

What about mine having a cracked screen?

MikeH · 05-26-2011, 03:23 AM

call them anyways. its obviously a known issue and isnt related to you dropping your phone.

race2c · 05-26-2011, 03:24 AM

man, i was hoping that revolution was going to be worth it. blah. not so much anymore.
