UC Browser 7.6
UC Browser (formerly UCWEB) was upgraded to version 7.6 this week.
Like all versions of UC since V. 6.7 “low memory” this one fails to load on my i776 so I doubt will will work on any Boost iDEN phone.
It works great on the Motorola Rambler and previous versions have been reported to work on the Incognito and other CDMA phones so there’s a good chance this one will too.
New features in 7.6 are:
1. 20% faster
2. GUI optimization
3. You can share a link to thecurrent page, some selected text or a photo on Facebook or Twitter
4. Shows thumbnail images when you select a photo to upload.
5. A “Traffic Check” that shows how much data you have used
6. Search Box auto-completion
7. Automaticly switches to WiFi (not on Boost obviosly as no Boost Java phone has WiFi)
The Facebook and Twitter sharing feature is pretty nice but I had a scary experience when I tried to share a link on Facebook.
FaceBook flagged my attempt to log in as “suspicious activity” and wouldn’t let me log in. I was told that I had to log in with a computer to verify my account, enter a captcha code and authorize UC to connect to my account
This Facebook’s fault not UC’s and is incredibly dumb of Facebook. Not only was the warning bogus but Facebook assumed that I had a computer available to “verify” my account even though I was using a a mobile device!
Millions of people have phones who do not own a computer. I’m all for security but it’s not like Facebook is a bank. My id and password should be all I need to authenticate. And if there’s a problem it should be fixable on the device I’m using.
You might want to hold off on using the sharing feature with Facebook until this is fixed. Or at least make sure you have a PC handy the first time you try it.
Once I verified my Facebook account the sharing feature worked well although I could not upload pictures using the Rambler. I suspect photo uploading will work on the CDMA phones that have a memory card.
Downloading uses paid data. Downloads are for Java ME phones only.

hey i have a problem.i cant download anything using uc browser..wen i download anything it shows error
You can only download to the memory card on Boost phones.
I have nokia 5130 xpress music with ucbrowser latest version; 7.6, 7.8 and when ever i try to download, it have me options either save or install. Which one should i choose? Pls hel…..p!.!.!
It depends on what you are trying to download. If it’s a document, image, music or video, chose save. If it’s a game or app, chose install.
Hi! Got a problem!
I have nokia e72 with latest uc browser version but i don’t have the share option to share to facebook and twitter!
Can anyone help please?
The native Symbian version of UC doesn’t have that option. The Java version does.
You can use the Java version download on this page but it’s unsigned (Boost Mobile phones can only run the unsigned version) and you’ll get a lot of security warnings. It would be better to download the signed Java version from http://wap.ucweb.com
any1 have any ideas please. i have no way to search the internet: my browser is way to slow. as said before when i type in letters a box comes up and says please enter. then cuts off my letters i put in at the end
UC Browser shouldn’t be slow but if it’s not working for you try Bolt or Opera mini.
So i have a sanyo mirro and this app works way better then opera for me but if i go to facebook and try to type in my username and password, somehow the letters from my username end up in the password box. Anyone else have this problem? How can it be fixed?
