really...... no way to get to homepage in the e4gt browser?

[sparkeater79]

I cant figure out how to go from where i am to my homepage, when in the browser. Am i missing something? Really really annoyed.

Can you not just open a new window?

 

[sparkeater79]

I can, but sometimes dont want to. Even my old blackberry had a choice to go straight to home. How do we advance so far and then forget/scrap the basics? I like android alot, however, i would have stayed blackberry if they had a dual core device. Android is like the really muscular stupid dude we all know. He is a beast. But really really stupid. No finesse or grace just muscles everywhere. I am thouroghly annoyed.

Wow.

Somehow I feel like the effort of clicking on the http bar and typing the first letters of your homepage and then clicking on the anticipated popup is just as quick as hitting menu > homepage button. I'm not sure what to tell you. Have you tried out different browsers? Firefox? Dolphin? Maybe they have a hot button.

opera mobile browser is awesome, highly recommended

 

[sparkeater79]

i know i know. I am nit picking. I like simplicity as well as innovation.

Pick Dolphin Browser, problem solved.

I'm going to chime in with another vote for Dolphin. I really liked Opera, but I love Dolphin ... Both have been better than the browser that came with the phone....
Enjoy!

Um, ok I'll bite, why don't you trust alot of apps?

Accidently posted that last one twice. I am liking the dolphin browser. I still dont think there is a "home" button. i guess i will learn to let go.

I think that certain apps affect things like gps and other systems on my phone. I dont really have any proof, only my pwn theories.

Top left corner is a picture of a little house, that's the home button.

 

[sparkeater79]

it still doesnt take you straight to a homepage.

Have you actually set a homepage in dolphin? Pressing that house takes you to your homepage, at least mine does.

 

[sparkeater79]

i have now. I was at work and didn't have time to mess around with the browser. Thanks highwayman1224

Bookmark your homepage, and then whenever you want to go to it from another web page, just scroll the page down all the way and tap the star in the upper right-hand corner to access your list of bookmarks, and then tap your homepage bookmark.

thanks Chuck, i am aware of some of the tricks you can do to get around not having the home button. I compare it to people complaining about how the smartphones these days have extra steps (or even 1 extra step) for making a simple telephone call. I am happy to have found a browser with the homepage button, ahhhh the simple things in life. I think it is really great how many options we have for web browsers. Android does have a zillion options for everything and i can appreciate that. Perhaps i was a little harsh on android, comparing them to a big stupid muscular dude.
