Is anyone able to pinch-to-zoom using Maxthon Browser? Either the tablet version or the version for Android phones. If I could get it to work, Maxthon would easily be my browser of choice.
One and only bump. Let me know.
I just installed it on CM7 and it worked right away. The phone version, that is.

Thanks for checking. I really just need to flash CM7 already, I'm getting sick of things not being compatible with the stock ROM.
Yeah, pinch to zoom doesn't work with Maxthon on the B&N ROM. Double-tap does zoom in and out, and the on-screen zoom buttons do work.
It's not only a problem on the NT though: http://forum.maxthon.com/viewthread.php?tid=81629
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the bug was fixed for most devices on one of their more recent updates. Unfortunately, the NT wasn't one of those devices, haha.
I really do like Maxthon though, especially the ability to create your own navigation gestures directly on screen. It seems to worth a lot smoother than Dolphin HD's system.
Thanks for checking on that for me, rete.

Hey just looking for some community help here.
Issue: Is there a way to enable the multitouch pinch to zoom feature on the doplhin HD browser. Running nook color of course.
If not thanks for the quick replies tried to do a forum search but came back with a service unavailable.
Is your phone updated?

lol well i run an iphone 4. i work at At&T and have always eben using iOS. Made a nook color tablet instead of shelling out 500 plus for an ipad or galaxy and havent looked back since. Now an avid android fan
iPhone has great hardware but Android does more.
For HD browser use 4.2 if you are on 1.01 or lower. If you have 1.1 Pinch zoom will work as it should on the most recent 4.3 version.
Dolphin Browser HD 4.3 breaks pinch zoom on the Nook Color. I think if you install 4.2 it will work fine. There's a link to 4.2 in the Market description for Dolphin Browser HD.
Just want to put this out there for those who are running nookie Froyo. Dolphin HD 4.3 works beautifully in nookie Froyo 6.6.

The latest B&N version 1.1 fixed pinch zoom, so now Dolw Dolphin Browser HD 4.3 has pinch zoom.
Actually, B&N 1.1 pinch zoom works in the stock browser, and other apps too.

depends on what android phones hardware your comparing to cliq yes atrix no
Regardless of what you are comparing it to, Apple does have great hardware. The integrated software/hardware allows the experience to be excellent regardless of whether or not a side by side hardware comparison is made to an android device.
I love Android. When we move into the realm where the Android hardware hands down is sperior to Apple's it'll be more interesting but it is the trademark smoothness that makes Apple products position themselves as they do.
Even with HC coming, at least in pre production, I note most reviews indicate a bit of stickiness and lag. That must be overcome for Android to eclipse Apple. (and a few other things)
Sorry for the Off Topic.
BTW, pinch to zoom on Dolphin 4.3 after 4.3 feels different than it did on 4.2 under 1.0.1. It's better, more responsive and redraws the layout faster.
I have a bunch of Dolphin HD add ons (LastPass, xMarks, etc..) that are in the right panel are difficult to select, and often take multiple presses to register on HC. Wondering if anyone is experiencing this?
Also updated to latest beta and but pinch/zoom didn't work, so switched back.
I am. I think the nook colors touch screen isn't very responsive around the edges. It pretty much makes xScope unusable as well. Dolphin Mini and the stock browser work well for me. I dont believe there are any add-ons for dolphin mini tho
i found this browser while surfin around.. its made for tablets and it really blew me away as to how fast it is while still having all the cool features of the more complex browsers.. it has the quickness of opera mobile with the options of dolphin hd.. try it out

I'm a bit OT here, but I installed this, and used it to set a wallpaper via Perfect Viewer, which borked my whole tablet. Not sure what's going on, but it boots, works for a minute or two at one frame per second, and then reboots itself. None of the remapped button popups work, so the only thing I can do is a long press on the power button to shut down.
Edit: I had just enough time to uninstall Maxthon (which was pretty nice BTW) and Perfect Viewer, which resolved the boot loop, etc.. Not sure which app was the culprit.
very strange, wish i could tell ya what it was.. what rom you using?
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk
Forgot to say, but I'm on CM7 7.0.2 at 1.3 ghz.
I'm pretty sure it was Perfect Viewer's wallpaper handling, and CM7 does have issues with using 3rd party apps to set wallpapers. Sorry to derail the thread. Maxthon is a great browser.
pretty nice. i wish it could gofull screen
gestures are a little iffy, but i may just not be used to using them and i cant find advanced settings?
Great UI for tablets but I dont know how turn automatic flash content downloading to off (tap to download like in opera would be nice)
does it seem to you too that the note has identity issues? When I visit web sites with my captivate and double tap the screen the font enlarges to a readable size. with this phone this behavior is unpredictable. Any ideas as to what my phone is going thru and would therapy be in order or is it just growing pains and give it some time?
What browser are you using? I'm using Opera, and double tap consistently zooms in for me.
try dolphin browser
Hi i am using doplphin browser...works fine

I've noticed though that Dolphin lags quite a bit when scrolling around a webpage. The stock browser is much smoother.

I agree with you about the lag on Dolphin browser. Although it has more functionality the stock browser is much smoother. I did a simple test between Opera, Dolphin HD, Boat, OverSkreen and Stock and I found that Stock, Opera, Boat and OverSkreen were the only satisfyingly fast ones. Opera is very fast but I find I don't like it's functionality. OverSkreen is fantastic but honestly feels more gimmicky to me at the moment as I haven't found a good use for multiple browsers simultaneously. At the moment I've been using Boat browser which has been to me the best mix of functionality and snapiness. It has a really customizable tool bar and lots of quick buttons so I would suggest it to you.

Then that's the answer for Op statement??(question) in the title
Using Dolphin: I have the user agent set to desktop and I dont use any plugins and it runs about as smoothly as the stock browser (which is to say, it isnt fantastically smooth but it isnt unusable either).
However, I also hadnt rebooted the phone in three weeks either so I decided to do so now and just tested again with www.cnn.com with both the stock browser and Dolphin and it is MUCH smoother after a reboot (again, both are about the same).
My phone is stock unrooted.
To help the stock browser perform more like a tablet however, I do the following on every new Android device I get...
Open the stock browser.
Hit the menu button.
Tap Settings.
Tap the 'Auto Fit Pages' option.
I also UNcheck the option 'Load Images' (to make pages load faster - not related to making the browser work more like a tablet but Im mentioning it in case people find it useful).
You could also change the zoom level (the top most option) to far instead of the default medium zoom level - just be warned that this will make the text on web pages small - possibly too small for some people.
Can you give a specific website that you are double tapping on that is giving the response you are talking about? Every page Im going to with the default browser is taking me to a mobile web page which has nothing to double click on.
Which one is better? Share your opinions.
Everyone talks about Google Chrome. But, I like Dolphin Browser HD because of its add-on support. All bookmarks and Add-ons are one swipe away. And, there's an add-on for quick desktop toggle, too. Worth mentioning that it supports advanced gesture and voice commands!
for me is better dolphin because google chrome is awful with the battery and my battery does not last long.
The new Dolphin HD is super fast if you are on ics.
For now Dolphin Browser HD is the best browser than any other present in the playstore.
Google Chrome is still in the beta state and not available for most countries.
So Dolphin Browser HD wins for now !

Google Chrome is out of beta as announced in Google I/O 2012.
I'll be the first to say I prefer chrome. It's much smoother ever since it got out of beta, I love how opened tabs and all your bookmarks are synced from phone to laptop and visa versa, I love the way tabs are handled the same way as tasks are. Swipe them left or right and they disappear. And also awesome is that you can switch between tabs by sliding from the left or right edges of your screen and into the middle. I guess you can say I'm a huge fan of tab management on chrome

Open tabs sync between phone and laptop is really a nice feature of Chrome which Dolphin users are jealous of.
When it comes to tab switching, I can use volume keys in Dolphin. But yes, managing a large number of tabs is a pain in Dolphin.
Dolphin Browser HD is the best browser with lots of features like multiple tab & Add-ons option like desktop Firefox browser. Dolphin Browser is the world's first Gesture, Sonar & Add-on enabled mobile web browser on Android.
Dolphin HD is good but with recent versions [on ICS] having more than 5 tabs open leads to a force close each and every time. Earlier versions didn't have that problem but I'd rather deal with that than Chrome. The add-ons support tho >>>
Dolphin HD has flash support, allows custom user agents and doesn't require ICS. On my GB Droid 3 its my default browser and I've been satisfied with it. If you have ICS or JB the default browser is much improved, I believe it uses a Chrome/webkit derived rendering engine anyways. It has flash and allows a desktop user agent.
What about the current versions on ics
No flash sets Chrome back for me even tho I use it as my main browser.

The standard ICS browser is, in my opinion, faster than any browser out there..
I use Dolphin HD on my tablet, but chrome on my phone... I personally like more Chrome, but on the tablet the Dolphin experience is a bit better.
I think stock ics browser is best out there.

I use Dolphin because it smoother, Chrome lags surprisingly much. Also Dolphin changes the layout of text when I zoom so I don't have to scroll sideways all the time

In dolphin you can't easily switch between tabs nor you can close tab easily.

I just hate the way it handles zooming. Chrome seems much better at that but more clunky with other things.
I keep going back and forth...

What? You click the open tab to close it. Is that hard? Switching is done by clicking it. That's one click, It's two clicks in chrome or the swipe thingy ( that one is actually really nice, I miss it a bit, but you can't say It's hard in dolphin). You can also assign gestures to switching tabs, but I haven't really found gestures that convenient.

I still use Dolphin, Chrome lags but also won't let me push that URL bar off the top for full screen browsing. Seriously, these devices all use 16:9/10 ratios, and the bottom of the screen on a tablet is already taken up by the taskbar, so Chrome has you almost "peering through a letterbox" at websites.
