Excelent
In file manager where to fine temp downloading file?
When I click the download link for video files its streaming the video instead of downloading.please tell is this is the fault or something explain it
I really like your browser. Any word on adding SVG graphics support? Your browser is already very standards compliant, but the only thing I can’t do is view SVG images.
OK my Galaxy Tab 10.1 FINALLY got updated to Ice Cream Sandwich!! I love it except now Dolphin Browser no longer plays videos. When I go to youtube or other sites that have video, it won’t play and shows in icon that looks like a Lego block with a “?” in the middle. I reupdated Adobe AIR/Flash from the Play Store and still doesnt work. Stock Android browser plays videos fine as well as the Youtube app. Please help. What can I do to get video playing again through DOlphin?
Nevermind I just reinstalled Flash and it works now
Great!
If you have any other question, feel free to contact our customer service at support@dolphin-browser.
Hi there,
new page for tablets is awesome.
Thanks
Dolphin is the best browser out there, better than any other on iOS and Android!
Thank you for supporting us, Nik!
Hi, as written in my first post I’m using a Samsung Galaxy S2, Android 4.0.4 and the latest dolphin beta.
Thanks
Thanks Steve.
I’ll pass it along and see whether we can fix it for you.
Can i download files from dolphin with “va high speed downloader pro” like what we do with “easy downloader pro” plugin? If its not possible can you fix it in the next version or in the dolphin beta version? And could you add a flash and web video download features on dolphin?
Sorry, all files will be downloaded via Dolphin by default. You can’t use 3rd apps to download them within the browser.
If you want to download files in other apps, you can try the following way:
1. Copy the file link in Dolphin
2. Post it on a 3rd party download app
3. Create a new download task in the app
Your downloads manager is also very impressive. I can pause downloads on the fly, and pick up where I left off hours later. Also shows accurate data for download speed.
Using 8.8.1. in my galaxy y 2.3.6. Why it is not having mobile browsing mode of non-mobile sites as in uc.
Thanks for your feedback.
Can you send us a url link to have a look?
Using 8.8.1 . It works well on android x86 4.0.4. and 2.2.2. installed on acer d250. No prob till now. Very fast and stable in 2.2.2.
Hi again. My RAZR is running 4.0.4 OTA.
Thanks.
I’ll pass it along and see whether we can fix it for you.
Yes I enabled clearing the cache, history and cookies on exit. I still keep logged on to Facebook when I exit the browser.
Hi Steve.
If so, can you tell us your device model and Android system version?
Hi!
All together a superb browser, just one important issue. The clear data on exit does not work properly. E.g. when I log into Facebook, exit dolphin and open it again a bit later, I’m still logged on to Facebook. Please fix this as this is an important privacy issue.
Dolphin 8.8, Ics 4.0.4, sgs2
Thanks for your comment, Steve.
Did you enable “Clear Cookies When Exit” option?
If not, Dolphin will still remember your account & password.
Hi. Ever since the newest two updates Dolphin browser had acted very strangely on my RAZR. Hitting the menu button to bring up the address bar either freezes up the browser, or drops down a black piece of screen where the address bar usually is. If the first, pressing home makes it seemingly unfreeze, but on reentry it is still frozen and i have to kill the app to fix. If the second, i can still type an address but i cannot see it.
The browser also takes an unacceptably long time to load, even without the splash screen.
I love this browser. Please fix it!
We are sorry for any inconvenience of our last update.
Can you tell us the Android system of your RAZR?
Also i still get a ton of crashes and freezes. It was not very common before the last 2 updates. Im on galaxy tab 10.1
Jon.
Can you update to the latest hotfix v8.8.1 and see whether it fixed your problem?
With the hotfix last night now i’m unable to delete then hot apps box on the start page. I was able to do it when the big update came out earlier this week. Please make it so i can get rid of it as its pushing some of my other favorites further down the page and i have to scroll down now to get to them.
Thanks for your comment, Jon.
I’ll pass it along.
Hotfix 8.8.1 installed and everything is tickedy-boo again. Thanks.
Great!
Hi, it wonderful.i like it very much.but i want one collum to view web content like opera mobile. I hope next version of it will solve this problem.
So glad that you let us turn off search suggestions from bookmarks and history! best thing you did since forcing it in 5.0!
Now, let’s hope Sonar gets this treatment in 9.0!
Glad you like it, Matt.
This is not a big deal, but typos and spellos detract from professionalism and make text difficult to read. Please proofread, thanks.
Sad times. I get a black screen and frozen phone (Samsung galaxy s2) nearly every other startup of dolphin.
Hi Adam.
Thanks for your comment.
We just release a hotfix -v8.8.1. Can you update and see whether it fixed your problem?
Sadly have to agree with others. After being a long time Dolphin HD user (and recently having decided to sick with it over Chrome on ICS), 8.8 ends up causing problems with tabs and closing.
I first notice problem when opening a new tab and trying to use my virtual keyboard (Swype), but URL bar doesn’t display. From this point trying to quit Dolphin doesn’t work- screen dims but won’t quit. Have to kill Dolphin (that comment might set Greenpeace on me) to restart.
Galaxy S2 (international) 4.0.3
Thanks for your comment, Norkle.
Which keyboard do you use?
The default Android keyboard?
Been using Dolphin HD for years. Great browser. Latest update delays when starting up, has problems when inputing text and drains battery while phone is on standby. Going to Chrome untill problems are fixed. Using Samsung Note.
Thanks for your comment, Peterw.
Can you send the details of your problem to support@dolphin-browser.com?
Our customer service will help you out there.
I’m getting alot more crashes than previous version…sometimes just after starting app
Hi Jon.
If you have any crash problem, please email our customer service at support@dolphin-browser.com.
They will help you out there.
New version has made everything that was great about dolphin now suck. Tab window entries are invisible…especially evident in full screen mode. Scrolling is delayed. Very dissapointed! Set back. RZR android 4.0.4
Latest version crashes on startup about one time in three. Samsung GT-I9000, 4.0.4 UK.
Hi Ben.
If you run into the crash issue again, can you send the crash log to support@dolphin-browser.com?
I thought by now your browser would havearental control internet content filtering. It is very irresponsible to put out a browser which is not safe for kids. Please do something about this.
Thanks
Thanks Josh.
I’ll pass your request along.
Kristen: it all is in good funAnyone with any sense knows that you cannot tell a peosrn’s peosrnality by the browser they use, computer they use, car they drive, etc.. This is therefor considered a joke or a lampoon. Pres. Clinton probably kept his johnson in his pants more often than not and Pes. Bush is probably not as dumb as he comes off in his speeches but people will exaggerate and overstate the things that they do. This is part of lampooning. Relax, no one is directly making fun of you or anyone else. It is good hearted ribbing. Relaxing will also help you as a mother, friend, partner and peosrn. I would venture to say that a large portion of the people you meet on this and other Blogs are parents, friends and spouses, just like you. Some of us might know a little more about computing about you simply because it interests us more than you. One thing you might want to do is try something new. Download the firefox or opera browser. You might like them. People here and on other weblogs would help you without a second thougt. You won’t break your computer. You might have fun! Good luck and thank you for being a good parent, we need need as many as we can get. a0|a0
I would like to report a bug. My phone has a physical keyboard and when I go to enter a website address the first letter typed with the physical keyboard stay selected and then the second letter typed replaces the first (because the first was selected) and the website address stay wrong. With the virtual keyboard it does not happen. I have the last update. Thanks
Can you tell us your device model and Android system version?
Or it would be great if you can send a screenshot to support@dolphin-browser.com.
Google
Thanks for all. I have a problem on Cyanogenmod though. Dolphin 8.8 crashes right after starting when it doesn’t have the GPS-Location permission. It worked up until the last version. Please let me disable that permission in CM App settings and still be able to run Dolphin. I don’t want it to get my location. And there’s no reason for me to trust the in-browser setting.
Hi Rooter.
Can you tell us your device model and Android version?
And are you running CM7 or?
Hi DOLPHIN BROWSER,
I am using CyanogenMod 7.2 on HTC Desire Z.
Rooter,
I’ve already pass your feedback along to our relevant team member and we’ll try to fix it as soon as we can.
