I gave Dolphin HD v4.2 Beta 1 a try but I found some problems:
Most of the time it put a lot of short white horizontal lines in the titlebar.
The restore from full screen to normal does not work. Part of the Dolphin display gets mixed up with the G-Tablet titlebar.
Several times it did not bring up the on screen keyboard when I tapped in a text field to enter usernames.
It is very cumbersome to highlight text for copying. Too many steps. It should be along tap which brings up the Copy menu.
The text copy method is not suited for dragging with a finger, mainly a stubby finger like mine. It is OK for a mouse.
Unless I missed it, there are too many taps involved to access Bookmarks organized in folders.
I know it is a beta. I know it is free.

Since upgrading to Gingerbread I have been aware of the new text selection features, i.e. dragging the little pin to move the cursor. What I can't get right though is selecting text.
Previously I could double-tap and drag in order to highlight words, which made sense, but now whenever I double-tap anything, I get the "Cut" and "Copy" menu before I can even start to drag. The two separate pins don't ever appear that way.
The only way I can seem to make it work is by holding on a word, picking "Select word" and then dragging the two pins when they appear, which seems a little drawn out compared to before.
Anyone any clues? Have the gestures changed? Am I doing something wrong or is this just the way it works now? Wondering if someone with a Nexus S or other custom Gingerbread ROMs can also confirm.
I don't know in which apps you have tried this, but the way it works in the browser and gmail (checked right now) is that you:
1.Tap and hold to go into text-selection mode
2.Drag your finger over the text you want to copy
3.Adjust with arrows as you see fit
4.Click on the selected text to copy it
5.Profit

Ah ha, I see, that seems to work for reading emails and web pages. I was more meaning inside text-entry boxes like in the SMS app, Google Talk, etc.

I'm getting a "Insufficient Flash Player Requirements" message when trying to watch ESPN. It gives several versions to download - any idea which one to pick?
None of them. The webtop's flash player can't be updated by the end user. You'll either have to wait for Moto to update it or hack your webtop mode.
Has anyone found a way to disable flash player? It seems that when loading pages, some of the flash advertisements are causing firefox to get hung up and freeze. This might also make youtube and other video sites push a non-flash video format out.
I don't want to un-install it, but enable and disable it on demand.
My Note has developed an infuriating fault which only happens in notepad apps, which is: I touch the screen in an notepad file and the QWERTY keyboard appears. All good. But when I start to type, although the cursor moves (sometimes to the right, often down a line or two or three first and then to the right) no text appears on screen. However, when I then exit the QWERTY keyboard, the text miraculously appears. This has only started recently and I'm very keen to get to the bottom of it. My notepad of choice is "Note Everything", but I've now duplicated the problem in two other notepad apps. Can anyone please offer any suggestions as to what might be going on here? Many thanks.
Sorry, I can't figure it out...
I can do it in web pages fine, but say, if I'm writing a text message and want to select the text I've written to copy it, I can't make the highlighting thingies appear
Sometimes it's long press, sometimes it's double tap and sometimes it doesn't work at all because only that damn magnification glass comes up.
In a text message, you have to double-tap to select text. Not sure why, but yeah lol..
speaking of this I'm also having trouble dragging the text selector around. it tends to fly to random places.

Root + Navbar arrows, I can't live without them
Why do you want to root your device? SwiftKey with enabled navigation arrows it is... But yeah, selecting a text on this phone is a pain in the a*s
I like the stock keyboard more than SwiftKey.
Hi boys n gals. I have a weird one and can not figure it out.
I recently noticed that whenever I use s pen and press on a text field inside chrome it will not bring up on screen kb. It will pop if I point to address bar or any other text field within system but not anything in chrome in webpages or Google search bar on Google page. Even here on title or text box, when I bring the pen near screen it shows the blue draw icon that I am sure it didn't before and that's it, it does nothing. Sometimes the blue draw icon wont show, just the small dot . On screen kb comes on fine if I press these fields with finger but not with s pen. I'm lost, I tried the usual restart tablet clear caches but no bueno. Anyone have any pointers ?
Thank you
