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.

How do I download in uc browser without memory card
You can only download to internal memory if the phone’s security policy lets you. Most don’t.
my uc browser is downloadin but only downloads 2kb and does not open im using a BB 9530
Actually it’s a Sanyo Mirro, not the Juno. But yes, this phone does have serious shortcomings that I am seeking to remedy. However it is not quite as bad as a lot of people are claiming. And I suspect that these shortcomings are not intentional on the part of Boost.
Actually it’s mostly with Opera Mini; also with Bolt, and with the ftp client in Mini Commander. I don’t remember downloading anything with UC but I may have.
Files include jpg and png images, html pages, text files, midi files for Lplayer, files that I had encrypted elsewhere with homegrown software, and a few other miscellanious files.
All Apps that work with files show two directories from a top level: fs and Shared. If I put something in fs, only the App that I put it there with can find it. The Shared tree however is common to all Apps that use files, and it contains a number of subdirectories including one named downloads. Apps that save files will let me put them anywhere in the Shared tree that I like.
I suspect that this Shared tree may in fact be, effectively, a sort of internal/virtual/permanently-inserted memory card.
What I’ve been unable to do is move files into and out of this storage area WITHOUT going through the Internet (ie via Bluetooth or USB cable) with the sole exception of downloading photos from the phone’s camera (they are in /Shared/fmgr/photos I believe) using Bitpim.
Amazing. Finally something positive about the Juno.
Not entirely true. My phone (Sanyo Mirro) is a Boost phone and has no memory card slot, and I have downloaded files to it.
Interesting. Was this with the UC Browser? What type of file did you download and where was it stored on the phone?
