I can't believe the quickness in browsing. I am running this on my Wizard and Hermes. No problems and is very fast. Just copy a cab file onto your phone and install it. Lot's better then IE

very cool find! Hey, I just have a question, what settings are you using? Like, how much Zoom and font size? This is a very fast browser, but I miss the page sizing by IE.
Can't use it when im on wlan but when i use 3G i works.
Any tip for that would be great!
I can use opera and ie with wlan.
not too bad ...now i can download all that good porn ive been missing

I used WLAN on my Wizard. Just tried it on my Hermes, just went into connections/ advanced/ Changed it from MY ISP to MY Work Network, which is blank.

In Menu/View, it has all that. Tap the screen twice and it zooms also. You can set it back to default but it has so many settings that you just have to play with it.Swift Navi.
Animated zoom, PageMap, Column Rendering, It tells you all about it on that link

Hi
Thank's for the tip, but it didn't help me.
Opera, IE works in wlan and 3G but Netfront only works in 3G for me.
I installed netfront at my SD card, could that be the problem?
Seems to work on Wifi for me....however....
after putting this browser through multiple speed tests, it continuously produced slow results...especially in comparison with IE
when connected to wifi, i tested multiple times, and heres about the averages i would get with the browsers
IE-1.5 mbps
Opera-800 kbps
Picsel-1.0 mbps
NetFront- 300 kbps
the only reason i wanted to speed test was because netfront felt slow, and according to those tests, it was alot slower than my other browsers...
i LOVE the browser, the wordwrapping to fit on screen works great, i like the scrolling, tabbed browsing, and everything.....featurewise, its better than opera, speedwise its terrible...
I have my hermes running this browser and I can say it is just as fast via cnet bandwidth test as IE but it loads pages much faster....
I have it working on 3g aND WIFI
I found it was terribly slow on all roms I used as well. Oh, and it hogs memory like you wouldn't believe! I found it to be unusable in the end, especially if you minimise it and try and do anything else. Even opening the address book while running this programme was a painfully slow eperience. A pity really--because the concept is great. If they could only improve on memory usage and speed for the next version.

Installed to memory or storage card? Installing it on your storage card would slow it down.
i have not experienced any instability issues or problems with memory usage, over IE memory usage.
I dont like that the mobil sites, like google or espn dont load like they should.
overall i really like the bookmark selector, cool looking.
I'm hoping this is the right section, but I have found a temporary fix for the random dropping of the tether on verizon android devices(where you stay connected but stop being able to torrent or load webpages) I am using an automatic page refresher on chrome(Auto Refresh Plus), reloading google.com every 12 sec. The data connection normally fails after about 5 min when doing a torrent. However, by keeping google refreshing, the torrent keeps its speed of about 800 kbps-1.4mbps. It keeps the torrent going at full speed for a lot longer(about 20min longer for me). I have confirmed it working on both my thunderbolt, and my original Moto Droid 1, and with multiple wireless devices. Let me know if it works for you!
I've been using the Vibrant for probably a year and before that I had a g1 for quite a while. In that time I've used the wifi tethering with various ROMs I've loaded. (Docs Master v12 most recently)
I was streaming a podcast this morning and the stream suddenly stopped but never resumed. I opened a new browser window and was redirected to a t-mobile page on tethering. http://offers.t-mobile.com/tethering/upsell.do
From a few news sources/blogs, it looks like they are now able to monitor tethering activity after official upgrades to ICS. Some sources speculate that they can view the same with Rooted/ROM ICS phones now also. Additionally, it seems like sustained streaming or large downloads are enough to flag your acct.
I looked at my recent use from this morning and it shows ~76 MB of continuous usage.
Soooooo, what are you asking?
Sorry if this is the wrong thread and I've looked across the entire Internet and I'm about to pull my hair out.
Across all three of my devices; Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy S3, and Nexus 4, my download speeds for downloading and updating apps on the Google Play Store have been unbearably slow, taking 20+ minutes to download 5mb. Only while using wifi though. HSPA+ data through T-Mobile is quick and painless.
I have Verizon Fios as my ISP. I've seen numerous other threads complaining about this issue across the Web but none offer any type of explanation or solution. While restarting the router/modem alleviates the problem for a few minutes, it's no use..
Also, might I add that YouTube has been unusable as well do to awful buffering. I think there may be a conflict between Fios and Google's servers. Whatever this is, I'm getting fed up. I can't download or update any apps on my Nexus 4 that I just got today, not to mention on any of my devices at all. Can someone offer any insight on this very annoying and unexplainable issue?
PS: I know it's not my Internet, speed tests reveal 20megs down and 5 up across all three devices and general Internet usage is awesome. Only YouTube and the Play Store have been affected.

Verizon FIOS + Google Services = PAIN
The exact thing is happening with my FIOS pipe to Google services!
Youtube has been challenges for months, but this past week Google Play has become completely useless from all my Android devices!
However, if I switch over to Verizon Wireless LTE connection, things SCREAM. Feels like Verizon wants me to use my Wireless data plan instead of my unlimited fiber fire hose! What the heck.
Rest of my Fios Internet service screams, seems to be mainly Google Services.
Nothing I have done has changed anything. I wish you had the answer or I had one that I could share. Needless to say, you are NOT alone in the pain!

same here
Just started noticing it this evening. I'm in NYC area with FiOS. Has been about 3 hours trying to update 4 apps at about 20 MB total size. Get 31mbps down on speedtest.net right now.
This is ridiculous. It's not like I can just use mobile data for everything either, I only have 2gb a month through T-Mobile.
YouTube has been TERRIBLE over the past few months, I'd have to agree with you.
Just recently Google Play is starting to suffer the same fate. What should we do?!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
If I do anything network based that is NOT related to Google I get really great performance (as I would expect across FIOS). Start anything Google service related and it drops to nothing in a matter of seconds.
I have tried Android SDK image (just for laughs) on my development desktop and Google Services in it are just as network challenged. That would verify that is a Verizon/Google issue. That would be why none of my other service: Netflix, Amazon Stream, etc are effected.
I have the same problem with Youtube on my desktop as well. Things start and then just turn into a stuttering nightmare if they load at all.
Really Verizon!? Fiber and it cant stream 360 youtube videos. I think my old dialup connection could do that years ago.
Would calling up Verizon be a good idea?

Router DNS
Well as of today things are working better for me (excluding youtube of course) after I changed my routers DNS to use Google public DNS 8.8.4.4 & 8.8.8.8 instead of Verizon.
It seems to odd for it to be coincident that I changed it and restarted everything last night and performance went up dramatically. Use to use OpenDNS, then Google, then back to Verizon when I got new router from them. But went back to Google and Play is downloading like a demon again.
Fluke or real, not sure.

How would one go about changing the DNS of their network? Should I just Google it?

Router DNS Changes
This How To Geek How To should get you there.
I am using Google Public DNS ones with currently good results. My Play lag is all gone since last night when I changed. Once again, could be just a fluke, but if you are still having issues, worth a try. Can always reset back to Verizons they provide you when you dont set your own.

Good luck and hopefully someday we can have Youtube work on FIOS!

Using google public DNS solved both my issues with play store and youtube incredibly slow buffering. If you're using your ISP default or OpenDNS ones you should give it a try.
i have the same issue too, when we start using a DSL internet, video streaming on youtube is very slow and downloading at play store too.
Had the same issues, switched to Google DNS & now I'm flying again. Very very strange! Thanks for the help though!

Hi,
I've experience same issue. My android phone slow browsing when connected to wifi but its ok if connected to 3G. I've managed to solved the issue. This is what i have done.
1. Login to your router.
2. For my router there is one setting where you want to use IPv4, IPv6 and IPv4 & IPv6. On my router the default setting is IPv4 & IPv6.
3. I've configure it to use IPv4 only and save the setting.
After that i disconnect my android device and reconnect back. It works!!!

Dude! it worked! All my android devices were acting up only on my home wifi and I could not figure it out at all. Was getting orange wifi icons, slow play store and other google apps. And the few iOS devices I have in the house worked for some reason.
I came across the same issue. Slow playstore, youtube and Facebook. I disabled ipv6 on my router and then they stared to work. Maybe this can help anyone where the static dns didn't work.
I only use ipv4 D: and have google dns but it's still slow on the Play Store and Youtube. I've tried using a VPN and it's near my expected download speeds. Does anyone else have any other suggestions? It's silly that Aptoide would give me better speeds when I want my downloads to come from the Play Store.
ive got the same thing happening on my note 4. I've tried disabling ipv6 and using google DNS servers, but the Wifi is still very slow on play store (and all other apps). I've tried all kinds of stuff, even got a phone replacement from verizon and bought the newest router from FIOS.
Anyone else have this problem with alternate solutions?

Whoa! That did it for me. Thanks a lot!!
Hi y'all,
I was experiencing the same problems with Wi-Fi to my tablet all of the sudden. The speed test looked normal but play and YouTube was not. I realized that ipv6 corrected my problem under my apn instead of ipv4. I hope this could maybe help y'all.
Hey guys. So my Mate 20 Pro has the WEIRDEST issues. When connected to wifi a few web pages etc are not opening. Instagram can't refresh feed etc. But if I use my Mobile Connection or use a Proxy when connected to the wifi everything works. The same wifi connection on the pc works flawlessly. Opens every single page immediately including the ones not opening on the phone, and even plays games effortlessly.
What do you think is holding back this connection on my phone?
Sounds like you were using public WiFi and some tend to use a firewalls which block lots of different things, I was on the train the other day and they didn't allow forums
The wi-fi on my phone has been screwed since day one. It still 'works' for most things, like games and such, but web pages or links in a reddit app will mostly load (the progress bar will speed along and then grind to a halt) and then... Nothing. When I googled around, it seems like Huawei devices in general are known for this - a smattering of people have devices that are simply broken on wi-fi. Now, I haven't done extensive testing, so it may be the wi-fi devices in combination with the phone that are the problem. It isn't like I have tested this with all kinds of types of routers/bands. It certainly is strange, normally when a wi-fi signal is pooched you simply 404 or stop dead. The way my phone 'almost' loads sites makes it feel like an error checksum protocol spiraling out of control, choking the connection.
If I didn't have a lot of data with my plan, I would have attempted to return my phone.
