Done with xScope

[mitchb2]

It's the only app that makes me want to physically destroy my Droid, and that's bad.

Not even worth going into detail here, but I will advise people not to buy it.

I wonder if the constant daily updates have just introduced compounded errors?

Don't know...don't care.

Well that's enlightening... don't go into any detail just say it sucks... great thread... Guess the THOUSANDS of other users that are using it and have rated it so high are just wrong? Thank god you came on here and started this thread to set us all straight...

Here's a suggestion: if you have a legitimate complaint or problem try reporting it to the developer(s) so it can be address and fixed. He is quite active here on the forums and is VERY responsive to bug reports (thus the reason behind the constant updates).

Mitch,

I agree with KZIWarrior, you need to specify reasons before you make a post like this. I have tried xScope but it's not for me. In fact I can't think of any program that made me want to physically destroy my Droid, my family, my Jeep, or any other possession of mine.

The developer is very active here and I know supports the product. Let's hear what has you so upset about xScope.

Too many sites that won't load, searches that go nowhere, white blank screens for no reason.

xScope is the only app that makes me so frustrated that I can't even figure out my next move.
When I touch a link, it will for some reason fly to the bottom of the webpage. I don't know why. This happens again and again.

When I touch a link, it will highlight a link an inch away and choose that instead.
This isn't like a PC where the cache is on HD. It takes a long time to back up from a mistake and try again.

If I browse to Droidforums.net, I can't search. No matter what I type, I get nothing.
If I choose the full site, I get a blank white screen.

I get 404 errors on sites that I can easily access from my PC.

I get many, many sites on which the yellow bar just hangs. I have to either abort or refresh many times to get it to work.

Uh, I'm very happy with xScopeBrowser

[KZIWarrior]

Because I don't have a magic Droid. The errors that occur on mine will occur on others.

You may not have a 'magic Droid' but you may very well have a poorly-functioning one. Though there are occasions, normally initially after an update where a page won't load I and several of my Droid using friends (most of which are running stock) have been using xScope as our DEFAULT browser(s) for a long time with hardly any problems. On the few occasions when a problem does occur it is normally addressed ASAP. I would suggest looking deeper into your phone because it sounds like there is something else causing your problems (program conflicts, hardware problems or even bad ROM flash if your rooted).

I have to agree with the OP. xscope lite was much better about 2 months ago:
1)click links and nothing happens
2)rendering problems like no quick reply on these forums
3)slow-loading pages with multiple tabs
4)choppy scrolling
5)xscope opens default browser for some link clicks

I've mentioned these things in another forum and the developer should be aware of these things. I don't see how he CAN'T know because these problems are glaring.

For me, now that I've learned dolphin's quirks, dolphin is the best. This could change in one update...

Hmmm interesting I haven't had any of these problems. I do admit I've come across some annoyances but I immediately report them in the xscope thread. Gary is very vocal there and tries to help out as much as he can. Definitely contact him. As for me it's still my main browser. The way it handles new windowa via long presses and downloading in the background makes it indispensable for my browsing habits.

Skyfire and dolphin hd are both awesome as well, I use xscope and skyfire interchangeably.

Where's the xScope thread?

Where's the xScope thread?

It's in the supporting vendor sub forum under xscope. It's the thread with the most replies in it. I'd link to it but I don't think you can do that in tapatalk yet
