Anyone else having Chrome browser issues?

First thing I did was go to engadget on the Chrome browser.. and instantly disappointed. Page slow at rendering and scrolling not working .. ok a little but it goes a little.. then does nothing .. unresponsive . I'm assuming it's gotta be my tablet since I see no other complaints on this but it's not just a little slow ..there's something wrong. Of course I tried Mozilla and ICS+ Browser and neither work because this IS NOT a pure google experience. Not that I'm bitter after waiting weeks for this to disappoint me

Me too, and is your tablet lagging? Cause mine is too and when I look at YouTube videos it is smooth but mine and apparently yours too seem to lag, I too am disappointed though just use dolphin, dolphin is super smooth

Yep, I'm having a Chrome browser issue...dang! Same thing, scrolling is definitely not butter smooth! Also, on Droid Life, when I try to reply to make a comment, the text box disappears, or drops down so that I cannot see what I am typing? Very weird...and I'm thinking it's the browser, since the scrolling stutters...its gotta be a bug in Chrome? My N7 is still completely stock.

OK...last night I did a factory reset and the lag in Chrome is gone! Cleared cache as well. Now its Buttery smooth yiippeeee!

Occasionally, when scrolling web pages (which do not scroll buttery smooth!), The page will zoom in very quickly! Sometimes if I continue to scroll, it will zoom back out and then jump back in. It's very annoying when it happens. I haven't found anyone else posting about this particular issue.

I've been having issues as well recently. It has been locking up and not responding. The weird thing is that it affects other Google apps as well. Specifically, gmail wouldn't load emails or respond, wallet wouldn't initialize, YouTube wouldn't load videos or respond, etc. Then when I uninstall chrome, all of the apps work fine. I've uninstalled and reinstalled a few times, and it still happens. Has this happened to anyone else?

twitchy browser, zooms in out while scrolling?

Does anyone else have this annoyance?
While scrolling up or down the browser will sometimes zoom in and out of its own accord.
Is there a fix or tweak for this please. ?.
I have tried other browsers, same problem...

It is normal. Touch wiz has edge zoom on the edge of the browser window. I and many others hate this feature with the burning passion of a thousand exploding stars. There is no fix on stock for this known to me. The only thing you can do is invision the fleas of a hundred camels all bitting the genitalia of the nimconpoop who thought this was a good idea.

It's by design and it's gone with the latest JB update (LL3).
I must be one of the few who used this... I mean, it IS an annoyance during normal use but if you pair the tablet with a BT mouse (which is extremely useful to me on some occasions) it's very useful because you can zoom in and out without touching the screen.
Anyway, it works (worked) only on the stock browser, on Chrome, Opera or any other one it doesn't (never has).

Just to clarify, this happens on me when scrolling from anywhere on the screen not just from the side? And with other browsers...
Did they deliberately go out of their way to make it twitchy?

Then you must have some other problem..
I have never used my N8000 under ICS because the day I bought it was the day they released JB for the N8000 ( :highfive: ) so I updated it as soon as I got it out the box but on the 2 versions of JB I have been running the tablet was/is almost perfect.
I recently updated to LL3 ITV (the Italian one) and then flashed through Mobile Odin Pro the CWM 6.0.2.3 (the touch version) to complete the update. The update solved the only problem I had with LJ9 which I have been running since I bought the tablet 2 months ago: the keyboard lag (and a problem in the gallery displaying high-res pics has been fixed too).
Very welcome changes are also more MultiWindow apps (and among them Youtube finally!), the return of the S-Note widget which lets you display a note on the home screen and some other minor features which can be enabled under settings.
Polaris was also updated (the update was previously shown as available in Samsung Apps but attempting to actually updating it resulted in Polaris FC'ing) and now the system OTA update check works even if the system is rooted and has a non-original recovery.
BTW, I usually do full wipes and a clean install but out of sheer lack of time this one time I have updated through Mobile Odin Pro (and have kept root). Everything runs beautifully but, again, apart from the annoying keyboard lag I really didn't have any real problem before too.
What a fantastic tablet.

Yea it still zooms in other browsers for me as well. But if its zooming away from the e6dge try a factory reset id say.

Got Huawei M3 today something does not like

1. Scrolling speed very slow, need to flick finger very hard to get it fast.
2. UI is phone UI not Tablet UI

If you have LTE, do you know if it can make phone calls? Also, if you are in USA, do you know if you can use T-Mobile as a phone. Also, if anyone may know this answer, please let me know because I want to be able to use it as a phone. Thank you for your help.

I have noticed this as well. It's not that the phone is generally slow, on the contrary, but the slow scrolling of long pages is annoying.
The DPI is 400 for the Display View Mode Setting Small, 440 for Medium and 480 for Large.
What is worse, in Small the Switch Tabs function in Chrome does not work anymore so you cannot switch or close tabs!
I tried changing the DPI with the adb shell wm density command but this has no effect.
Another annoying thing is that I cannot change fonts easily from Display Settings as I could on older Huawei phones. I have to use a Huawei Theme editor to change a theme every time I want to change fonts. This in itself is not a problem but this App shows multiple(!) ads of Mobile Strike when using it, absolutely annoying!
Overall I do like the M3. Battery life seems noticeably better than my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 2016 and that is the main reason I switched. The narrower size also makes it easier to hold than the Samsung.
I have managed to unlock the bootloader but have not found a working root solution yet.

Got mine too, i like it overall, but what was annoyed about soundquality over headphones.
tested it between onplus2,... oneplus headphones quality are way better.
@ Flavio
how do you unlock the bootloader?

Use the Chinese language of the Huawei page to get the unlock code because the Captcha function on the English page does not work. Use the English and Chinese pages next to each other so you know which button to press.
Instead of the adb command you can also use the SRK tool.

Can confirm that scrolling speed is a bit too slow. Hope they fix this via update.
Otherwise I really like the tablet

Problems w. Chrome & YouTube, Call feature not so good
I can confirm the open/switch tabs button in the preinstalled Chrome does not work at all. If I reset the whole tablet it sometimes works, but as soon as I sign-in into one of my Google accounts in chrome the tabs are dead. This is annoying, as soon as you open a new tab there's no way you can get to the old tabs…
AND: The Youtube app crashes as soon as I load the subscriptions tab. Can anybody else confirm? This is annoying too.
AND: The call feature was the main reason I bought this. BUT: You can make calls with it (even GSM and 3g), BUT: It does NOT have a dedicated speaker for your ear. It uses one of the (great!) standard media playing speakers on the side. So everybody around you (even on the quietest setting) can hear what the other person on the call is saying. So you must use a headset…
Any ideas on getting root or solving Chrome/YouTube?

By the way: I just did a small review of the M3 and put it up on YouTube:

Hello,
Unfortunately, I confirm having the same problems.

I can't confirm that. Using Chrome and YouTube without any problems.

I got mine a couple days after the release date in a huawei pro shop in China. It came with Chinese ROM so none of the Google stuff is pre installed. I got my Google play store from their own app store and everything else from play store after that. YouTube and chrome works fine. The overall speed is a bit slower that expected. What bugs me is the wifi connection, seems to be quite slow and unstable. Lte wise seems to be OK overall. Battery life and general speed are way better that my tab s2 8.0 tho. What Roms are you guys running?

I only have the Chrome Tabs and YouTube issues in View Mode set to Small (400DPI). In the View Mode set to Medium (440DPI) everything is fine. What setting do you use?

I have the B003 ROM, Android 6.0.
I can concur that the speed and battery life are better than on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0.

I just dug out my 2 years old z3 tablet compact since game streaming with moonlight on the m3 is totally unbearable. The z3 did a better job on streaming,general performance wise, I'm surprised how little the difference is between these two tablets since there's a two years gap. The m3 got a much newer processor as well as an extra gb of ram, I think the 2k screen is the one to blame, although I did turn it down to 1080 in settings. Battery life, m3 wins hands down.

I can confirm all of you the long battery life comparing to Tab S2.
to be honest, I don't have the same feeling about this tablet.
I've a good experience with smoothly and general speed but of course depends of what you are looking for, in my case, for work is perfect due to:
1. Phone/MTM function
2. SD Card slot
3. Battery Life
4. Screen inch resolution
5. Light and slim for portability
for gaming I'm going to wait the root if it's possible and why not, I guess and hope in a custom rom that I think it will solve all lags that other users got because from hw specs, it's really good to run all we want to have on this tab.

No problems buying LTE version in China and use in Europe right? And can those on screen buttons be taken away?

I don't know if the China versione is compatible with European LTE bands... I think so but I really don't know.
Regarding the screen buttons the answer is no. At least on mine there's no option to hide them.

I've tried the 400dpi setting and can confirm that chrome tab and YouTube issue exist in the Chinese rom as well. Got the latest OTA today and it didn't fix the issue.
Not sure about Europe lte but I guess it will work, there is a option to turn on screen buttons on and off in my ROM, not sure about if it's for Chinese rom only or not.

Solved! Chrome Tab Switching and YouTube Subscriptions work again.
Solution: I had the "view mode" (Settings/Display) set to "small", so I can use as much screen estate as possible. Sadly this makes Chrome and YouTube unusable. Switched this view mode to medium and everything works (after a forced reboot by the settings app).
Strange:
I can not set the dpi via ADB. Via ADB i always get 480 dpi, no matter what setting I have set in view mode. And I can not change this dpi setting, it always stays on 480 dpi. I have the feeling the adb shell command doesn't work or is ignored. This is a bit sad, because I was hoping for the widgets and fonts and interface being as small as possible. But it's still a great device and I am happy.
Now Root is missing. Any ideas?

Are u Facing these issues ? ..

so want to ask you guys that are u Facing these issues related to software same as me ??
All the apps are not latest updated like dont kno why but all apps are updated but are sometimes missing features like chrome is to latest but same version is on my other op5 and that resulted in a bottom address bar but not in MIA1
when we are in landscape mode many times the headsup and the notification panel is pulled from the top left side (if rotated as power button is facing sky)
In instagram like there is no option for superzoom am on beta also ..i installed app after sharing and then it worked for 5-10 min on app close and destroy it reverted with no superzoom
most of the apps are not to latest version and cant get updates if we check
some small freez sometimes
worst is the google old dialer even the caller photos are not seen
I AM ON LATEST DECEMBER
If you guys have same issues then its ok mi is lacking otherwise tell me the solutions :crying:

1. not aware of any such app
2. didn't notice this, but I'm not using phone in landscape much
3. not using Instagram
4. didn't notice this, all my apps get updated regularly (though I hope you're aware of staged rollout of updates)
5. not a single freeze experienced
6. by default we have AOSP dialer which lacks some features, Oreo should come with standard Google dialer

Yes the bar in landscape goes from top left instead from center. Dialer is pissing me off too, but it just is supposed to call. Didn't notice any freezes though.

Yes and no for all your issues? You're cocky, aren't you?
1. Nothing like that here. Check your internet connectivity.
2. Haven't noticed.
3. I don't use vanity fair related apps. Still, out of curiosity I've checked Instagram and everything works - but I'm using the last stable December update.
4. Again, check your internet connectivity.
5. Haven't noticed any freezes so far.
6. The Google Phone app will be included as part of the Oreo update which is coming soon.

No Instagram, not sure.
No issues with freezing after updated to December.
No one calls me. So....

weird keyboard ghosting problem

Has anyone ran across the issue on Oreo where the keyboard photo stay up after you've done your search? Like in the photo.

I just got my device back from warranty and noticed the my keyboard is ghosting bad. Other items as well. Download root browser. And open a file that's empty. And I can see it real good. Like any image I leave on device fore 5 sec or so ghosts. And it's anoyying. I'm on 7.0 still partcyborg rom. I know it's nothing on his rom doing this
Not as bad as yours. Yours looks lime a software issue as it's caught in a screen shot. Mine can't be photographed in ss

yes I thought so also that it might've been a bad flash or bad software but reinstalled Oreo and does the same thing on stock keyboard also.

I have the same issue. I've noticed it happens while using search, then opening the requested app. It's as if the launcher doesn't know how to disengage the app when no longer needed. Also, I'm using Microsoft's Launcher, so I think that my be ano th her part of the issue (3rd party launchers). Anyone else notice the same behavior?

I've found that using the dolphin browser is what did it to mine. Uninstalled it and I haven't had the issue since.
