Hi folks. I am using Firefox desktop browsing to listen to XM Radio. However whenever the screen is turned off or I switch apps,
it stops playing. Is there any way I can get it to continue to play in the background?
Thanks
Mike

I believe that's because firefox doesn't do well in the background, I've noticed that when I tried an IRC web client through MOZ I'd lose my settings each time I switched apps. Have you tried using chrome or the XM app? I assume those would be better streamlined...

I will try chrome. The XM app is a separate subscription otherwise I would use that. Also for some reason even though I have installed flash and it works great with Firefox, Dolphin does not recognize if for some reason.

Dolphin takes a little tinkering for flash, if you want to try that this link should guide your way. That sucks that it's a separate subscription for the app...

You've probably solved this problem by now but there is a way to check in using your pc.

If you still haven't found a fix for this yet, you can try using the m.facebook.com site. The touch site didn't work for me. I don't have a problem with the xdafacebook app though...

Gotta go through the web browser or use remote desktop.
Just a note also.. I don't think Time Warner is supported right now if that's your service

using the browser, if I go to HBO Go's website it doesn't give me an option to log in. I must download the app which isn't supported yet.
Download dolphin HD browser, set to desktop mode, and pretend it's the HBO go app. Streams flawlessly, and you can go full screen mode.

Meh, i tried this and it works for a bit then the frames start to suck
HBO Go works fine from the stock browser. about:debug, goto Settings in browser, Advanced, UAString, change to Desktop. I'm able to watch everything on HBO Go without a hitch. I don't understand how people are having problems with this. Works and looks great. Loving Game of Thrones.

Not sure either, I use task manager to kill all running apps, I don't have any live wallpapers running. Quality is good for a few minutes then becomes choppy and drops to like 1 fps.
Is your connection any good? Run a speed test.

Consider rooting and then getting autokiller to manage memory for you. I was idling at 80-120MB ram (which is **** because there is 750MB dedicated to the user space). With taskiller I am able to keep ~280MB free on average. I can watch youtube justin.tv hulu hbo go and other streams @720p quite easily without any chopiness. Also make sure you are up to date on your flash player.
I'm watching HBO Go on a completely stock Galaxy 10.1 with no choppiness. However, I can't seem to get an icon on my desktop. Although I got a message saying HBO Go was being downloaded, nothing showed up in my apps or download folders. I have to use my browser to go to the HBO Go website. At least it works.
Not sure why I'm having so much trouble with my tab. I'll have to check out autokiller and see if managing my memory makes any difference.
But Netflix works just fine.

I'll have to give this a try! thanks.
Every single day , my stock web browser loses the sites I had open. For example, I'll have three Windows open, three different websites. I don't use my phone for a while and come back, they are all gone ! Even if I leave it on Yahoo.com it will reset to default which is Google.com, basically it won't just keep the sites I leave it on, it returns to home and its very annoying. Is there anything that can be done??

Free on the market.

I had Dolphin on my G2X but it did the same thing, constantly lost the tabs I had open, shut closed on its own losing any pages, etc.. I'll try it again, but that's why I stuck with the stock browser so far.

That's weird cause I've never had a problem with Dolphin.
And I exit back to hitting back or hitting "menu" and then exit.
When I open Dolphin back up all my tabs are still there.
Maybe the internet doesn't like you?

I guess not. Downloaded Dolphin and I just don't like it, so I'll have to deal with the stock browser or find another one. Not sure why it would take those about pages away to save cache?

Yes, I've had the issue on multiple machines. Sometimes it works just fine then it'll lock up and I have to close the tab and relaunch it.

I don't use the app because it's easier to read/reply on the web. Plus it makes it look like I'm working

Funny! Yes, can't exactly have your face in your phone too often while working.
I wonder what the issue is? This has only been a recent problem but I'm willing to bet it's on the Google Chrome side of it. Never had issues in the past.
mine hangs on when launching the site sometimes, I've noticed the same thing happens with droid-life occasionally too. Could be an issue with an ad loading.
Site has been having technical difficulties also causing extreme slow downs in the mobile apps.
Also questions go in Q&A

If not you should. It is a revelation of speed and good design.
1) Web pages load fast and look great.
2) Super clean interface.
3) Bookmarks are easily organized with cloud syncing and backup.
4) Bookmark tree retains your last position.
5) Features prefetch and fast back (you have the option to return to a cached page when hitting the back button as opposed to the page reloading. This can save A LOT of time).
6) While flash animations won't play, YouTube and embedded videos seem to load quickly and play without lag.
7) Has a desktop version which will sync as Chrome does.
I've tried them all and for me, this is the premier tablet browser available today. Check it out in the Market. There are 3 versions. Pick the Tablet one. It's the best.
Your right.
Not an option in my book. If it doesnt sync with my desktop browser i don't use it.

Totally agree, I tried a lot of mobile brower but I always came back to Chrome because of the Google account synchronisation..

Just wish Chrome would finally give us sidebar bookmarks like Dolphin. I'd be on it in a second. Bookmarks in Chrome are so multistep and kludgy to use.

Yeah I want a mobile browser robust as Opera, synchronised like Chrome, and with Dolphin bookmarks sidebar + Maxthon gestures to change tabs !

People have been wondering for years why Chrome refuses to do sidebar bookmarks. There is a nice addon for desktop but nothing for mobile. They would double their user base overnight with that one simple addition. But they WILL NOT.
I am trying it out tonight. Thanks Mitchell!

Cool. And by the way, you can sync your bookmarks over the cloud using this just like Chrome and use it on your PC desktop as well. I especially like the way it caches pages so you can go back and forth without reloading.

Maxthon does sync over the cloud and has a desktop version.
Been using Maxthon since I saw this thread and love it..

I just wish Maxthon implemented gestures as deeply as Dolphin. I like using a gesture to turn javascript on and off on the fly. Can do it with Maxthon the old fashioned way but takes more steps. Nevertheless, if that isn't a priority for you it is a great browser and offers a desktop version which dolphin does not.
Does it have modules like Firefox? Can't use any browser without adblock at least.
Here's the link to their extensions center.
http://extension.maxthon.com/
Didn't see anything specifically to block ads but it may be there under different name. There are tons.
Great find. Lots of potential but still buggy.

Yes a few quirks but don't they all?
Hi.. Anyone know which tablet support invert colour or built in black background with white text? I don't like night mode on every browser I've tried cause its not that black, so anyone? I also tried Firefox with black background white text add on, but the browser feel so lag while using the add on which I feel annoyed.
OK mitchellvii,
You MUST try Baidu Browser HD.... TRUST ME.
Tried Baidu HD: looks promising, but sluggish scrolling, gesture support but with too much lag, no auto fullscreen, odd rendering (fonts too small even at settings large)
Im downloading it now and giving it a try. thanks. Ill let u know what I think later.
