Chrome Browser - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Go to the Market and search Chrome Beta if you want to try. Its only for ICS devices right now

Beat 'cha

This sounds awesome. Is it any good or is it buggy like most BETAs?

can i sync it with the Chrome Browser on my pc?

I'm using it now, it's awesome. No flash support currently though.

I'm using it now,no flash support yet, it seems fast but when i scroll down fast there is a lot of unloaded stuff or takes a sec to show. It doesn't seem as fast as stock at least to me so far well see as i play with it more. It does sync with your desktop.

I don't think it's gonna get Flash either, adobe's not developing it for mobile browsers anymore. Don't know if a 3rd party dev can do anything about that though.

Not available for Finland.

But the implementation of Flash would be Google's doing. Not Adobe's.
Right, Adobe's done updating. But mobile flash is already here. It's all about the browser taking Flash into account, as opposed to Flash supporting a browser isn't it?

Cheers for that!

When I want to download it, the market says it is incompatible?!

I'm liking it on my Prime. Very nice, similar to the desktop experience. Not sure, aside from the synching what is that different, but I haven't looked into it too much yet.

Check the requirements.
Do you have ICS?

Adobe already made an official statement and said Flash will not be in Android Chrome browser. Link to info is in the other thread on chrome browser.

Still needs a lot of work. At the moment it is slower than other browsers, doesn't allow you to change user agent and like mentioned, no flash. I was hoping they would have had addon support from the beginning too.

Pain to get to bookmarks. But I'm sure I'm missing something.

It absolutely makes no sense why non-US Prime's cannot get access to Chrome Beta. No sense whatsoever. Android 4.0 has adoption rate of 1% on the market anyway, out of this only fraction would try out Chrome Beta.
I would love to have Chrome downloaded from Market so it could get future updates without having to chase down APK's each time.
This is frustrating. But hey, at least we now have Chrome on Android.

[Q] Browser: Download Issues

Having issues downloading from web pages. I will click a link, side panel opens with the document icon (power point for example), then I will, tap download.
At that point it will flash the progress bar with only a sliver, then show a grayed icon and say download again. Nothing will download at all.. I've resorted to downloading on my evo, using WiFi file explorer pro as an ftp... Works but a pain in the ass for school.
thought maybe it had to with some patches I installed from preware. I uninstalled a download unthrottler thinking that could be causing issues, but nope.
thanks for any input!
16gb touchpad, uberkernek, clocked at 1.5Ghz, various patches.
yeah I am getting the same thing downloading from my dropbox account.
edit: I tried a random .exe file from download.com and googled a random .pdf file to test from the browser and they downloaded fine... why won't download from dropbox?
The only sites I've tried are my school's BlackBoard site, and Dropbox. I shall try another site here at some point.
Same issues for me. It seems like a broswer issue with credentials or something. Any documents downloaded from secure sites do not open. If I don't have to login it works fine. I have confirmed this with blackboard as well as my bank account. I can download the exact same files on my computer, upload to box.net and download and open fine with the box app on TP. Very annoying....

By Jo you're right! Never thought about the secure site thing. Just tested it, same results as your own. Curious , do you have a bunch of tweaks and patches applied? I certainly do but wasnt sure if that had anything to do with it.

I do too. I don't think it is related but might be worth uninstalling then to see.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I don't know it it is touchpad related or just browser related. My intuition tells me browser since we can Backdoor the issue fine through the box app. Either way it will hopefully get addressed either officially or.in the community. Possibly a 3rd party browser can fix it. There r a couple for sale in the market but I won't spend the money unless u know for sure it has a workaround. Hopefully this issue bugs enough people or the right people enough to be addressed. Here's to hoping!

After you get the latest Adobe flash player from the play store, go into your browser and hit menu> settings>advanced> enable flash and plug-ins.
Flash is set to off by default so change it to always on.

I know you are just trying to state the obvious, but thats already done.....in browsers that actually have that setting (not all have it). No ideaif Opera supports it as there is no setting for it. However, Boat has it. I dont see it anywhere in the stock browser settings like it was in GB. Its missing a few other settings as well.
But thanks

Works for me in Dolphin.
Adobe stopped supporting flash for android so it might not be fully compatible with ICS.

It worked with ICS on my rezound and nexus just fine, and some people on the nexus forums say it can be installed even on jellybean. I think its just a matter of downloading the apk and side loading it by installing it with a file manager

Umm...because Adobe removed it from the play store just recently.
Adobe carries the android flash player on it's website. There is no reason to go to a seperate site. Also, if you go to the playstore,look into your account, and look in your apps, it is usually there as well. If it is already installed on the phone. No flames here... But, there is already a thread about problems, and issues with ICS. If you posted there instead of starting so many threads, people may not be as inclined to flame you. Really, just trying to be helpful. Otherwise, your handle here might cause people to react like they would in real life. "Oh No, its THE COPS".LOL

Thats the thing, I didnt see the thread. I searched for about 2 hours both on google and through XDA specifically for Flash Player not working after ICS update. I added Rezound because some phones just cant get it to work in ICS, like the Droid Razr Maxx. So its a wonder I missed that. Yes I poked through a lot of threads on xda that came up in search, but that one didnt. Its not like I didnt search.
Thanks for the reply JeramyEggs. Appreciated
And to Ashton, I appreciate the help. Just next time someone makes a few threads about Android problems, dont be rude like that. Its a good way to lose members in here. I know you are a respected member and a dev possibly and I just noticed you have been helping people out a lot. I'm sure you just got annoyed because you see it from other people often. Try and put yourself in a super frustrated and irritated persobs shoes who suddenly ran into problem after problem. No ones trying to break any posting records here, heck thats what that sticky at the top is for. I missed your post...simple mistake. I'm not going to get into rules, but I dont believe I was breaking any. I did operate as a moderator at 2 different smartphone forums for a few years so I know how it works. As for the Adobe Flash package, Im going to check Adobes site. If I dont it or have any issues then I will let you know about sending that.
I got it last night from the google play store but online trough the browser I downloaded/installed and is working without hiccups. I use dolphin

Permanent desktop mode in Chrome on Jellybean?

I just upgraded to Jellybean yesterday and ICS Browser+ stopped working for obvious reasons. So now I am stuck with the chrome browser and wondering if there is some way that I can force it to always use desktop mode and never default to phone. I dont want to hit the "request desktop site" regularly and would just wish the setting would stick permanently.
But is that possibl?. ICS Browser+ gave me that functionality but it doesnt work with Jellybean. And mind you I am looking for a solution/fix/hack that WORKS in Chrome, and is NOT interested in switching browser...
Hoping someone might be able to provide the magic key to making this possible

Open browser and in the address bar type about:debug nothing will happen then go to the browser settings and you'll have more options. Select settings, debug, uastring. Good to go. some phones it doesn't stick and have to do every time use browser
Oops...my bad...doesn't work with chrome but it does on the stock browser. Not sure what the string is for chrome. On opera it's aboutpera so maybe about:chrome?
The about trick for ICS only worked till the browser was closed or you rebooted, so sadly still not a permanent fix :/

Well then i guess you either do the about: debug and change your uastring or have a mobile browser. I personally don't have any issues with it sticking, still desktop on reboot.
You could try this
http://bit.ly/A5y6tT
I tried the about debug trick on my SGS2 back when I was actively using that. And that never stuck on reboot, and got turned off as soon as i closed the browser.
And why google for it when I suspected this site was to go to site for the android phones, but perhaps I am wrong in that assumption. I mean I did actually try the search build into this forum and since that didn't yield anything then I asked
Point being..i didn't make the YouTube video. I wasn't even on YouTube. I shared what works for me. Sorry what i offered wasn't a solution, but there really was no reason to yell. You asked for help, i offered. If don't like what everyone suggested, see link above.

The last link you shared was a hidden comment to go google for the solution . That is what sorta ticked me off <.<. BUT that being said the proposed fix does work on chrome, but NOT with the stock JB browser.
I was led to believe that the stock JB browser was chrome but matter of factly it can't be Chrome, considering the chrome-command-line fix does not seem to do anything to the stock browser at all. But it works on the version of Chrome from Play Store

Im not getting a new rom, thanks for offering the suggestion tho . I prefer the stock Samsung feel, but just don't agree on some of the settings. And my own skills into messing with system files and what not arent exactly on par with what I would expect would be required, hence why I am seeking for a mod, rather then building one myself from scratch.
Nevermind.
And I can only aspire to one day build my own rom.

Best Browser for JB Rom?

Chrome can't use flash so that's a downside.
i used to love Boat browser, but not impressed with recent updates.
Stock browser is so so.
What are you preferring?

Really hope the guys at Boat Browser fix their stuff.....it was an amazing browser, but recently I've found it to be really laggy and when you pinch zoom it causes the entire page to refresh, or doesn't focus on the area you wanted to zoom on, so you then have to zoom out again to find what you were looking for. Kinda broken.
You pretty much covered them all. Opera is very fast to me, but on JB it doesn't detect flash by default. Although it does play HTML5 videos. At some point you will have to let it (Flash) go.

Holo is really fast and it supports flash. It's the fastest that I've used and I like it, there are a few bugs that I don't like though. I'd recommend trying it out for sure and deciding yourself. If there is something you really don't like you can message the innovator of it on the forms. I say innovator because it's just a spinoff of tint apparently.

flash works fine in the stock browser, you just need to side load a flash APK. Anything 11.1 or higher will work fine. Enjoy your porn :silly:.
It works well with boat browser and boat lets you set the user agent to desktop

So, even though it's JB the stock browser works with Flash? That's a big plus since I'm not yet ready to give up in-browser Flash videos. Now, it just needs root, SixAxis and Wireless Tether and I'll be content.

All Adobe said was that Flash for Android would be discontinued and wouldn't be officially supported by them after ICS. That doesn't mean it won't continue to work on some devices running 4.1 on up, just that there's no promise of working. I think Flash is still working with most Jelly Bean devices.

Same here. I doesn't work properly on some youtube videos. Some videos show scrambled lines but no pictures, some others just won't play. I installed the same JB version of Flash that I've been using on my SG3 (worked perfectly on all dozens of custom ROMs that I had flashed) and on my ATT Note (also on dozens of ROMs from AOSP, AOKP, to CM10 etc...)

Good idea! Apparently it is working according to the test pages. Maybe its just certain sites use a different player not suited for mobile...ill download dolphin beta and see if it works. Ive been out of the loop for a bit...why has adobe stopped supporting android? That was a major advantage of android in the early days.
Web site is probably borked and not handling browser user agent ID correctly. For example, videos on main page Yahoo don't work but Yahoo Movies do. Other tech news sites work too.

CNN videos work fine for me in Boat Browser. Been using that browser exclusively for about 6-months now and is about the best and fastest browser for Android with Dolphin coming in a close second.
You can get all of the Flash versions, and the latest (old) version of Dolphin that supported Flash from this link here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774336
I'm using the latest version of Flash (11.1.115.27) and the latest version of Boat Browser.
Just letting you guys know...CNN is a strange website in that
If you ever enter CNN without the Desktop Mode enabled and try to watch a video, then they drop a cookie in your browser, so when you come back to the website with Desktop mode, flash videos will not work. So the solution is to clear your cache.
I am having the best luck with Beta Firefox, addon: Desktop by Default (makes sites think your phone is a normal computer so no mobile bull****) and Adblock Plus (gets rid of most annoying popups etc)
Also found that when you go full screen on flash videos, you should turn the phone to the correct side of landscape so the video doesn't have to flip 180 or 90 degrees and there be a chance for it to freeze; sounds odd but a really buggy old flash page kept freezing when I went full screen the wrong way but loaded normally when I used the correct method.
Coming from the GNex, seems like Samsung's software is a little less forgiving then Google's unfortunately so steps like this seem necessary for the moment.

I just tried Firefox Beta again. Still blows. There's no full-screen, no homepage, no way to keep "request desktop" permanent, no way to access tabs in the full-screen add-on without turning full-screen add-on off, accessing tabs, then turning full-screen add-on back on again.
Desktop by Default seemed buggy and not always on.
Although Firefox was blazing fast, they've got a long way to go options-wise before they can compete with other mobile browsers.
