Well since the .21 update, the original browser seems better.

Was MyNet always there before or is this part of the new update?

Tikker · 2012-03-31, 10:53 PM

Always there

Danster · 2012-04-01, 05:28 PM

I guess I haven't played too much with other settings...

CenturyBreak · 2012-04-02, 06:48 PM

I see they've restored the user agent string in the default browser ("Always request desktop site" in advanced settings.)

Finally!

Mind you, I'm not planning on switching back from Dolphin HD.

Thanks for the tip. Never liked getting mobile version of any sites I visit.

It doesn't say if it will be free or not. Free would be nice...

Tikker · 2012-04-08, 02:30 PM

Hoping for free, heh

Digital_Frank · 2012-04-09, 11:55 AM

It should be free...

It is true and free

Tikker · 2012-04-18, 06:23 PM

it's also the size of the keyboard dock hinge

jeje

or at least the prototype is

I've got mine registered, and should be here in a couple weeks, but with the size of it, it is NOT ever going to get used

Danster · 2012-04-18, 07:18 PM

Well I must say I'm impressed with ASUS. True that my prime isn't used mainly as GPS but to see them come forward with a device to give us the function of it, that is truely a good gesture on their part. They could've simply told us to shove it but they fixed their design mistake.. Wow.

Digital_Frank · 2012-05-02, 11:37 PM

I received the gps dongle last week and it works great.

Before the built in gps would pick up 4 satelites and not lck on any.
With the gps dongle, it picked up 18, and locked on 12. (from the same location as above)

The offer expires at the end of July.

Tikker · 2012-05-03, 10:11 AM

yeah, I went from 0 satellites to 12+ while sitting inside

I'm still not likely to ever use it that way, but at least they tried

Danster · 2012-07-25, 08:46 PM

We are about to get the Jelly Bean update in the near future. http://www.techradar.com/news/softwa...ablets-1089812
