It doesn't work on sites formatted for mobile browsers.
Speaking of the browser, I know its not officially "supported" yet by XDA, but has anyone found a fix for that funky grey address bar ???? Or is that just me ????

I know what you're talking about. this was happening to me too. It seems to happen when an ad blocking app or rom is applied. Xda is actually affected by it too.
Since the app doesn't work, you've got no choice but to use the browser. However its a lag fest.
On your Xoom scroll down to the the very bottom left and change "XDA 2010" to "XDA Classic" . Makes this site much more pleasant to browse... Almost no lag at all.

i use the premium app and it remembers my login and alerts me to threads ive subscribed to.
i also appreciate the OP for point out the trick to get the forum to work better. my main reason for getting the xda app was to get around this slow scroll. id much rather use the browser to "browse" the forum. ill check into this trick today. many thanks!

i can't stand any apps for forum browsing. i like tabbed browsing, but great tip.
so what causes the slowdown? i'm making a guess that it's the text antialiasing. they must have it set to high which makes for the blurry type. any way to tweak it?
ditto, nasty yellow colors, but scrolling is so much smoother with no lag. Thanks!
Much better!

Thanks for the tip, works great.
So what is the cause of it running so slow to begin with? I mean it's great that we have a work around, but for an $800 device I expect it to be able to browse a simple website without the need for a work around to keep it from lagging.

Use any of the alternative browsers that use a different engine - which as of today are either Firefox or Opera Mobile. Both show XDA forums just fine with no lag.
(ditto for Slashdot, if you read/post comments there regularly - it also has the same trouble with stock browser)
Ugly, but changing the theme is much faster. Thanks for the tip.
The premium app works great on the xoom.

Try Opera browser. This browser is really fast on the Xoom! Also for the XDA forums it is a great browser. Almost no lags.
Hey guys, I know this is random, but I need to know. You see my brother has Kaspersky Parental Controls on his Nexus 7 and he has to use the stock browser so the internet filter works. He found out if he uses the incognito tab, he can get around it. Is there a way to disable incognito mode on the stock browser(NOT Chrome)? Or is there an older version of the stock browser without incognito?
He cant use any other 3rd party browser either(such as Chrome, Firefox, Dolphin, etc), otherwise the internet filter doesn't work.
Thanks

I hardly think that's an appropriate punishment. Wouldn't she be better off banning him from using it?
An option could be some sort of parental lock requiring a password to open apps, and locking the browser down. That way he'll only have access to other non internet apps. And if the parental controls you're probably paying money for have such a big flaw, then you should be asking for your money back and finding another.
Another option (albeit quite extreme) would be decompliling the browser apk, finding some part of the code that has to do with enabling incognito and having a tinker. This might not work, but it's probably the only way
EDIT: And it's your responsibility as the older sibling to have a chat with him about either hiding what he's doing a lot better, or finding another source. If his mother has caught him then he's doing it wrong
I really like Dolphin and UC browser but both of them leave stuff running even after you've closed the app. If you look in settings, apps, running apps, you'll find that there are services and processes that are still running long after you've finished using the app. UC browser actually runs even after you've chosen 'quit' from the menu!
Boat browser is far better behaved and so is Chrome but Chrome has no full screen mode and Boat a little clunky to use.
Am I right in thinking that these running processes are using my battery?
I've emailed support for both UC and Dolphin about this and while they're quick to reply about other issues, they are both strangely silent about these running processes..
Can anyone suggest a browser that runs full screen and doesn't pound the battery?

AOSP browser?
Try Naked Browser. It doesnt leave anything running and is very lightweight, with flash support and all. Try the free version first from the description of the play store app.

You are using nexus 10 ,right?
So i guess your device have tue stock android browser installed, that wont ruj in yhe background, and therefore no battery impacts(i think).
In the menu, you can choose full screen to maximize the space
Hope it helps you

Hmm...
That's strange. For some reason it says "your device is not compatible with this version" when I try and install it!
Is it not supposed to work with the N10?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
Maybe you can try “lightning browser”, its fast. However, in my own experience, i dont like the little options for me to choose and the full screen mode of it, coz in full screen mode I must scroll to the top and overscroll to bring-out the tabs which is not so convience in my view, but i think you might give a try.
P.S. The free version of this browser supports only 5 tabs and 5 bookmarks, plus version dont have the restriction
pay or g00gle it (seqrch for #APP_NAME apk) to get the plus version

Hmmm, it ran for me at once, but I guess that was cos I was using a custom ROM. Try one with Hybrid settings and compatibility view - Rootbox, PA or PACRom. Or maybe install it on your smartphone, and then try porting it through titanium backup, might work.

You can always get the current version of Naked Browser from the web site here: http://nakedbrowser.com/android/
Dolphin had been phoning home all visited URLs to their server, even unencrypted https URLs which is a serious blunder. They're not the only ones pulling crap like this. Most Android browsers are spying on users in some way.
In response to this situation, I made Naked Browser. It will never spy or monitor in any way. There aren't even ads. It does not run on boot, does not phone home data, etc. It is just a web browser. If you use the exit button, it actually exits. If you return to your home screen, it goes to sleep and does not wake up unless you go back to it.

android.permission.READ_CONTACTS
It is not widely known but apps can query contact data without requiring the READ_CONTACTS permission in the manifest. Why would a web browser need to read your contact data?
android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS
android.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS
These could potentially be used by the browser to auto-login to Google but they could also be used for really evil purposes.
android.permission.READ_LOGS
Basically no app should have this privilege. All kinds of data can be gathered this way.
Execution of external commands
This is scary because it means the app may be extending its tentacles almost anywhere, especially if you are rooted.
Cipher(AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding)
They're encrypting data, presumably to phone it home. WebView-based browsers do not need to do this as the WebView component handles all encrypted traffic. This is something extra added by this app which may have a legitimate use but may also be phoning home data about users.

Hey guys!
I picked up a 2012 nexus 7 for pretty cheap and I really love this tab. Does everything I would want it to do. However, one thing that's kind of annoying is the Facebook app is super slow... The app itself is responsive but the data loads as if I have a dial up connection. I ran a speed test from it and get 12+ meg...I also have an iPhone and iPad both connected to the same wireless ap and don't have any issues... All other apps seem to be fine as well. Any suggestions?
Thanks guys!!

Hidden apps is limited to 5 from default 10 or 15 = less services for device to handle.. and use_16bpp_alpha=1 forces your device to use 16 bits instead of 32 bits. Try it. Don't like it? Just delete it. Simple.
