Why does chrome suck? Is it our phone? - HTC Amaze 4G

I really love chrome on my nexus 7. Being able to use one browser on computer and tablet is great. But chrome has never worked well on our phone. Why?

I agree fully, do you get the invisible keyboard too? My keys only seem to show up after I've guessed where they are on the screen.

That problem doesn't happen on Sense 4.1 apparently. It did happen when I ran the Stock ROM.

i cant remember where i read it but apparently there is an issue with htc phones and chrome. google and htc are theoretically looking into what is causing the problems.

Oh okay, glad to see I wasn't the only one experiencing these problems. I gave up on Chrome and decided to use the Opera browser. The HTC default browser is very slow for me also. Jeff.

Honestly chrome sucks on anything other then a nexus 7, I have tried xperia arc s, nex 7, asus tf201, asus tf300t. Will check on sg3 and let you know. It just doesnt get the same performance you gets on the nexus 7 no clue why.

Its okay on the sgs3... but nothing to write home about. Its not as fast as boat or dolphin... its very much comparable to the sgs3 stock browser... which again, is just okay

Who would like Window 8 on the Note? Soon we will have it

Galaxy Note Variant with Window 8 for Window fans:

It doesn't say anything in there about the Note getting Windows, just that the author would like to see it.
Lol, why is this even posted in galaxy note, or any android based phone forumn?

If it was possible, i'd definately put it on my note if it could dual boot
I don't want Windows 8 on my phone or on my computer. Win 7 rules and M$ is making a big mistake.
I would welcome WP7 or 8 as a dual boot.

I would only use it if we can dual boot it.
+1 on dual booting it. There are days that I would like an over simplified UI such as WP8, but I couldn't live with it full time. Plus the lack of customization would kill me. Also, a dual boot option would allow me to let others use my phone and actually know how to do anything at all. My Note is so streamlined for my personal use that nobody else can use it effectively.
I would like it just to try. In the end it will be the beSt OS

I themed my Ics as windows phone 7. I had an HTC surround and loved the ui. However android is still Top for me. So android with windows phone 7 ui is perfect.
Also that's clearly Photoshoped. The tip of the spen is gone and the buttons on the bottom are not angled correctly

Never said I was able to. That was just a response to the wp7 ui stuff.
Also if this does come out we wouldn't benefit from it (unless you want to buy another gnote..)

That's what I been using. I haven't had any issues with it whatsoever. It looks amazing on the Nexus 10.
It doesn't crash all the time for you? It would be fine if it didn't crash every time I re-open it...

Crashes pretty consistently here. I'd agree with OP
I retract my statement. It does take about three consecutive tries to get it to open randomly. Once in though there are no issues/crashing. I agree it needs updating to stop the initial crashes. It looks and feels too great to not be updated.
I wish they would optimize it more for tablets more. They said they would update it to a real tablet UI last spring. Obviously that didn't happen.

Its annoying they said they would update it. And yeah mine crashes a few times before it loads properly. I shall see if I can ever get a reply from the dev as the normal xda premium app even has widgets now

I also wish they would make it more tablet optimized. I just purchased it last night just so i don't have to look at the fuzzy XDA icon on my home screen. :/
Side note, I LOVE the N10 display, but man does it make A LOT of apps/content look like **** lol

Both apps art pretty laggy to me but at least the tapa talk doesn't crash a lot as well as it will open up links properly. I almost prefer just to use my browser because it is a much smoother experience

Tapatalk HD just started giving me issues with displaying images last night. I viewed an image, changed to landscape, and then had to back completely out of the app to get the image off the screen. The app still responds in the background to touch/button input, but the screen still displays the image.
I'm not having any problems with xda hd. It runs with no force closes, but it is pretty laggy when scrolling.
I am not having any problems with this app either. But I am using the premium one.

Quick discussion. Nexus 7 or Kindle Fire HD

I know there are no "door buster" deals with either of these tablets, but I don't work tomorrow and want to buy one. Was hoping there were people in the rezound community who own one of these and can chime in with their own personal feelings. I've done a fair amount of research and I'm torn. The locked bootloader if the kfhd is the main thing making me lean towards the N7.
Discuss!!

I would go for the nexus 7. Everybody I know loves their N7. You get a great JellyBean experience and guaranteed updates.

I picked up a Nexus 7 32gb about two and a half weeks ago at Wal-Mart and couldn't be happier. I debated about the Kindle HD and Samsung Galaxy tabs but after much research I decided to go with the Nexus 7. I'm already running JB 4.2 and get awesome battery life.
I sync my N7 with Calibre on my PC for my daily news feeds. I used to use my Kindle keyboard but that's being gifted to mom for Christmas.
When I'm out I tether to my Galaxy S3 so no worries about searching for Wi-Fi.

Definitely the nexus 7. The development available is amazing, and everything else about it is just perfect. I wasn't that excited about it. I honestly only bought it because I heard it was such a big deal and saw the preorder people ripping google a new one so I went to staples and they had them in stock so I bought it.
I have an iPad 2 and a nice transformer prime and do some development on the prime, but I accidentally fell in love with the nexus 7 because of the device itself, the convenience, and especially the development.

The best thing I did to my wife's Kindle Fire was root it and install JB on it. Being stuck on that Amazon app store sucks. I know you can sideload apps, it's easier just being able to pull up the Play store and be done with it.

Personally, I think its perfect. I got it to mount on my treadmill so I can watch movies while running. And for that I think its the perfect size. After using it for a day I think I prefer the 7 over the 10.

[H/W] [Issue] Image Burning

I have experienced this issue for a LONG time.
So while in the stock browser for a little bit I locked and switched on the screen revealing the browser bar on top which is transparent.
So today while on the terminal I got a image burn of the keyboard and it was fading away slowly so I took a screenshot and that's when I found out that the screen was the issue.
Does anyone have this issue?
