  7. Brian says:

    I’m using v4.6.1 on a Samsung Galaxy Tab. Can I install v5.x beta and still keep v4.6.1?

    • Tunny says:

      I am afraid you can’t. It will be replaced.

      • Brian says:

        Oh that’s a shame. Is there a way of going back to 4.6.1 if I don’t like 5.x beta? I like 4.6.1 but the comments about 5 beta aren’t good, so I want a return route to the version I like if I don’t like 5.x beta.

  8. Victoria says:

    This probably sounds stupid but i somehow enlaged my screen so now the top control bar is cut off. How do i get it back to normal. I am using an 8″ android tablet. Please help its frustrating.

    • Tunny says:

      You can press ” Menu” to get it back.
      Or you can disable full screen mode by clicking full screen button on the right tool sider bar.

  9. kay says:

    Nice interface but page loading takes ages. This page for instance never loaded fully in the time i read all the comments and typing this message. There is also some lag.
    The above problem occurred after installing dolphine v 5 and above

    I’m using dolphin 5b2.
    My phone is sgs 2.3.3 jvh.

    Please fix as its almost unusable. I’m currently reverting back to skyfire until this is fixed. Thanks for great browser

  10. rene says:

    I want to download new version 5.0 but get no connection to the server or page. ?

  11. TazD says:

    LOL!, well, I miss the toolbox then!

  12. TazD says:

    Yes, Tunny, I did mean the toolbar. Fullscreen and plugins are all that are in the toolbar now. Mini had more than that.

    • Tunny says:

      The one in Mini is Toolbox. It is different from Toolbar in HD.
      But if you have any suggestion to toolbar in HD, you can tell us in detail.

    About flash support on android 2.1 ,what i wnat to say is that you may enable flash to this version too, not only for 2.2 or above, because my has flash along others with this version. But we want to use dolphin because is faster.

    Force closing every time on my LG Optimus S running Froyo 2.2. It doesn’t even get past 10% of the load progress bar opening up the home page. Can’t even get into settings, either through the browser obviously, or through the manage apps screen. Still a little work to do there fellas. Thanks for your help and keep up the great work.

  27. freeza says:

    Hi, the new UI is much better, but this beta will randomly stop connecting to websites after a while. The only fix is a force stop. Exiting from menu doesn’t remedy the problem. Are the dev team aware of this or am I the only one? I’m on an ASUS Transformer. Stock browser continues to work.

    • Tunny says:

      Thanks for your feedback.
      Can you tell me the browser stop connecting to which sites? Can you send us a url link to take a test?

      • freeza says:

        Hi, thanks for the quick reply. It doesn’t happen on the same websites, it happens randomly. It’s as if the Dolphin HD stops recognizing that I have access tot he net or is timing out. I’m going to try beta 2 and see if that fixes it. Great browser!

  28. freeza says:

    Hi, this beta will randomly stop connecting to websites causing me to have to force stop it (exiting from the menu won’t fix the problem) to get it working again. UI is MUCH MUCH better.

    Anyway, are they aware of this? BTW I’m on an ASUS Transformer.

  36. MonkeyMouth says:

    This app is beyond its time. It’s way ahead of other browsers out there and does what others lack! I am completely dedicated to Dolphin that I deleted my stock browser. The developers are always there and never cease to amaze! This along with an army of add-ons makes it the best application I have used. The implication of a custom theme color wheel will solve everyone’s mood.

  37. bjtheone says:

    Need bookmark sync that preserves bookmark order and subfolder organization. Theme other than green would be nice… :-)

    • Tunny says:

      Thanks!
      So you mean you can sync bookmarks, but their orders are not synced?
      And we will update theme asap. Please wait with patience.

  38. Optamizm says:

    It wouldn’t load pages on my Galaxy Tab, it will almost load them and then just stops. I tried turning off all plugins, but it didn’t help…

  39. TazD says:

    I am loving HD, especially the bookmark sync plugin! However, am I missing a way to add options to the toolbox? Mini had more options than fullscreen and plugins, like private browse in there, and I’m missing them.

    • Tunny says:

      Thanks for your feedback.
      First of all, Mini does not support plugins.
      And the toolbox you mean in HD is Menu or Toolbar?
      If you want to browse without history, you can find this option in Data storage settings.

  40. Chris says:

    Hi, been using dolphin HD for past several months ver 4.6, this beta update worked fine however it lost a feature that worked on prev vers. I have a droid incredible (first edition) running android 2.2. On ver 4.6 when ever you pich and zoom it would auto wrap text but on beta 5.0 it won’t work. Yes I can double tap to bring in the text but if I want to pinch it in a little closer it will not auto wrap the text. I really liked that feature on 4.6. It is the 1 reason I would not use Dolphin mini because it did the same thing would not auto wrap text unless you double tap it a second time. Would be great if you could fix this, I will have to go back to 4.6 for now.

    • Tunny says:

      Thanks for your feedback.
      You can try to use zoom buttons to zoom in/ out the page. Then the text reflow will work automatically.

      • Chris says:

        Thanks for the reply, yes I know about the zoom buttons but don’t like them because they get in the way of browsing, I can’t tell you how many times I accidentially hit them while scrolling. They work the same way on Dolphin mini. I hope you can make pinch & zoom work with text wrap automatically like your ver 4.6 of Dolphin HD.

        • Tunny says:

          Thanks for your report.
          We will continue optimizing Dolphin Browser HD v5.0 beta and making it better.

          • Chris says:

            I wanted to mention that I have been using this beta 1 for a few days now and I firmly believe that it is faster at loading web pages than ver 4.6. Flash also seems to be loading faster. I usually load pages in desktop format and with ver 4.6 it could get slow at times. I have noticed a big difference in the same pages loading faster on this beta 1. I sincerely hope you can keep the pinch & zoom w/ auto text wrap like how it worked on ver 4.6. I really like Dolphin HD browser over stock. Thank you again for all your replies. Look forward to final release. Oh I love the bookmarks feature scroll on the left, its awesome.

          • Tunny says:

            Thanks for your appreciation and feedback.
            You can try our latest Dolphin Browser HD v5.0 beta2, and see whether it can auto text reflow.

  41. blackSP says:

    Love your browser. On Gingerbread I have to following issues:
    Flash movies won’t run (or even show) and submit buttons (javascript issue?) don’t work.

    • Tunny says:

      Can you tell me your device model and firmware version? Froyo2.2?
      And can you send us a url link to take a test of your problem?

  42. liusp says:

    Awesome update! Onequestion:can I set the speed dial as the home page?

  43. Mikijp says:

    The google doc and twitter ( mobile) don’t work in the beta pls fix it thank u

    • Tunny says:

      Can you explain more clearly that how they can’t work?
      And what is your device model and firmware version?

    Anyone knows if this version will sync with Chrome on the desktop? I’m having to use Opera for that reason – the ‘bookmark sync’ in the previous release was just the google accounts bookmarks, not the Chrome bookmarks. Glad to see they got subfolders in now BTW.

    Superb release and amazingly stable on my thunderbolt. Lightning-fast and smooth a silk. Is there a way I can import my Xmarks bookmarks tho? I can’t seem to figure it out.

  51. Nelson, Brazil says:

    Hello
    This browser have flash support?
    I think that in this browser competition, the use of plugins to see an wide array of pages on web will be the great difference to choose. Think Silverlight, Java, QT and much more. Consider this
    Keep it up the good work :)
