biggrin.gif Been using the TF with 3G over the past week or 2, I like it.

I have some issues whether default browser or others (eg Dolphin) - i have problem with some pages.

a) for Facebook, certain apps just keep refreshing itself until I turn of Javascript. then the functionality goes bye bye, so I have to on JS again to do a bit of changes. then it goes back to the refreshing. sad.gif (I'll probably video it to give better understanding)

b) in pages like Google+, when I mouse over the notifications, the drop-down menu appears behind the other content - pretty much un-usable unless i go to google.com (the search engine).

----------

I wonder if the above is an Android problem. sad.gif cos I really expected OS from Google to work well with Google's stuff.

=========== PART 2 =============

What do you guys use to play MKV files? 720p videos still lag like silly.

I've also bought Plex, and it works fine as it streams from my HTPC ....... but it works fine because the Plex server lowers the quality to like 480p or so. biggrin.gif and subtitles go missing.

So yeah - what do you guys use to play MKV? and if you're using Plex, how do I get my subtitles? biggrin.gif

Videos - try MoboPlayer, one of the better players around.
tried. streaming from my HTPC, the 720p MKV file still laggy.

so far not so happy with Android playback la, my iPad plays 720p mp4 also no problem.

erm, wireless streaming is definitely not laggy. wifi connection speed is more than enough for streaming and i've been doing that for quite a while. smile.gif i can even play 1080p MKV on my htpc with content placed on other machine, accessed via wifi with no issues.

back to this, till date the supposedly BEST player, Moboplayer, is still unable to play 720p MKV smoothly. Subtitles also missing. Very disappointed with Android on this aspect so far.

Nice share. I've tried a few popular players before this and none of them displayed subtitles. hmm.gif
you're welcome.

see, the thing is this. when i browsed MKV player or whatever player - all the names that people listed, all also don't play well la, load slow la, no subtitles la.

yesterday i spent time on Google to search, that's how i found it. biggrin.gif players reasonably fast (still lag) but I hope it'll be better with future Tegra 3 units. more importantly, SUBTITLES!!! yes yes yes that one i like.

need advise. I notice my Maill app ver 3.00 (from HTC) always double-sends E-mail. Android OS 2.2 btw. Not using custom rom.

any known cause of this?
