Can someone tell what is generally accepted to be the best browser on android at the moment?

I do like the stock browser but woulda liked to see some sort of speed dial settings.

Also, how do I force the normal stock browser to stop going to a mobile version of a website that I'm browsing?

Opera mobile.

Fixes your mobile site version also, can change to announcing as a desktop in options.

Thanks guys, didn't realise bs player was the best, all others dont seem to work for network streaming of mkvs. All working lovely now!

Anyone using the latest nightly? Might flash it later on.

Kreeeee · 11 Apr 2012 at 14:07

I flashed to the 20120410 nightly last night after sticking with a build since February. The hardware acceleration and general smoothness is excellent now.

doodah · 11 Apr 2012 at 14:41

Where did you get 20120410 from? I can only see up to 20120408.

Flashed to 408 - Market/Play doesn't load.

Hi, is there any updates since CM9 Alpha 2?

And what is best video player to play AVI files? I can't manage to play AVI files on TP- vitalplayer and vplayer seem to play but laggish and with sound problems.

Thank You.

No updates since then. Apparently working on Linux 3 kernal or something.
They are doing nightly builds though incorporating the latest fixes etc.

Get MX Player for your vids.

I tried MX- same problem.

Also, does anybody have random restarts?

and sometimes I have problem with wifi connection?!

gsf600y · 11 May 2012 at 22:05

Zero random restarts.

I have wifi problems endlessly.
The connection just stops working, and I have to turn wifi off and on again, often many times, to get it to work again. This is my one big issue with it at the moment.

angela · 11 May 2012 at 23:51

I got random restarts often, however deleted about 10-20 apps which are not supported on TP and haven't noticed so far.

I loose connection when not near router, however on same distance(s) Galaxy's S2 wifi connection is strong & stable.

I was getting the same thing several times a day. I read somewhere today that changing the wireless channel on the router has helped some people. I was using Channel 11 previously and have now switched to channel 6 and as yet, no wifi disconnections. Also I read something about changing the settings so that wireless doesn't go to sleep (Wifi Settings/Advanced). Give it a go

I have just installed the new AOKP rom today, all looks good so far.

Is there any way to mvoe the navigation bar to the top of the screen? Im sure I did it a while ago on one of the CM builds but can't remember how?!

Isn't it in settings and "tablet settings"

I'll try it out. Already on channel 6, but maybe I'll try switching to a less congested channel. I know channel 6 is fairly congested around my house.

I'm not really clued up on the development side of things but does anyone know if it would ever be possible to connect a USB flash drive or similar to be able to transfer files onto the touchpad?

Can't seem to find that menu.

I fancy buyin a tab, is this worth buying over the iPad 1 16gb? prices for touchpad 16gb are around 140 and i m sure i can grab a iPad 1 for around same price.How does the touchpad compare?
