Browser NEVER works. grrr

I apologize if this has been answered. I did a search.
My browser never wants to load pages. The status bar at the top will load a little bit, and then Flash to full, and nothing. Wont finish loading, and no network activity. I've tried wiping, and it still does it. Im on an ADP with OTA cupcake. It wasn't doing this before the cupcake update. I cant use steel, because its STUPID with Cupcake. It doesn't work right, and I don't like Opera because it doesn't "Flick" well when browsing.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
Thanks
As this is a development fourm, I would would suggest you post in the general section.
Sorry about that. I posted in the wrong section.
Mod, Please move this to the correct section.
Thanks

Opening links/url from twitter

Hello
When I try to open/read url posted in a twitter client (tried many),
I cant read page and it just sits there with a blank page.
Wifi is working and so does mobile net (GSM) and opening pages manually
in browser both default and dolphin works just fine.
Running HTC Hero with 1.5 ROM version (one that came with the phone
and I just hacked it a bit to get a root access,nothing else)
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this "bug" ?
There seems to be a specific ammount of time you need to hold the url
Hope its sorted in 2.1.
Using Modaco 3.2, and HTC Peep, I've no such issues.
Regards,
Dave
Seams to be working now (as G8D said) but it takes at least 15 sec to show anything in preview or in browser. Hope that 2.x is just around the corner with some speed improvements regarding this bug.

So what happened to the browser (memory-wise) after JI6 update?

I used to be able to open 8 tabs of mixed web pages (blogs, news, Facebook, etc) and could queue them all up, read them one by one, and close out & switch to the next tab when I'm finished with one.
I used to be able to do this without any slow downs or reloading of each page when I switch to it. In addition, my phone would not become bogged down.
NOW when I do this, I have to wait for the page to reload when I switch to it. This only happens when I have over 2 or 3 tabs going at once and even then, only when the webpages are relatively content-heavy.
Ok, ready for the b*tching? This is AWFULLY PAINFUL when I've queued these pages up right before entering a no-service area like a tunnel or the subway. My ancient G1 used to behave this way but I always thought that was because it had half the RAM of this phone, so it did that to free up memory for other running processes/headroom.
This is by far the biggest disappointment of the JI6 update and I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this or can suggest a fix.
Note, my phone is bone stock and one of the reasons I loved it so much was the browser performance - now, the browser performs horribly.

Want to keep this question alive.
Anyone?
Have you tried using a different browser, like Dolphin or Opera Mini?

I've tried other browsers in the past, but was always happiest with the stock browser.
Regardless, I want to know what happened to the memory management after the update. It would never attempt to reload pages if I had multiple tabs going but now it does.
What I meant was, have you tested to see if other browsers are behaving the same way as the stock browser after you updated to JI6?

No, I haven't, but I dont specifically know how they performed before the update with regards to multiple tabs and page reloading, so it wouldn't tell me much about what the update did.

Maybe not, but if they behave better than the stock browser does now that you've updated, that's what counts, right?
Well, I just opened up 8 tabs of different websites and was able to switch between them with no problem at all. Nothing had to reload for me. On stock browser with JI6.
Try clearing cache?

I have tried clearing the browser cache, tried other browsers, kill the native task manager app, tried stock froyo, Bionix V, Ginger Clone and Axura, and the browser always behaves the same way. If you switch to another app, when you come back to the browser, it starts to reload all pages (very annoying). It feels like I'm back using the mytouch 3g.
Back when the Vibrant (and the galaxy family) first came out, this didn't happened. 8 tabs (I could live with 4) that were always there waiting in the same line where you left off.
Any ideas

Stock Browser 'find on page' is broken in latest update

On a brand new A500, updated to 3.1 OTA and I have noticed that the 'find on page' in the stock browser does not work. I usually use it if I browse the long list of XDA forums and am trying to find something specific rather than scrolling forever.
Does anyone else care to test this and see if it's broken for them too?
I tested on a small web page and it seemed to work, but when testing on the root of xda developers forum, it does not work. I restarted the tablet, problem still persists. Then I tried doing a factory restore, still the same issue. I also have a Xoom running HC3.2 and it does not have this problem.
Try searching for text like Acer or Xoom on http://forum.xda-developers.com
It will find the instances of what you search for, but the browser will not scroll to where it's located. = broken!
Rob
using the .11 ota build of 3.1 it seemed to work fine for me on the page you linked. It scrolled to and highlighted both of your test words.
Stock browser, not rooted
Hi,Mine works as well I tried test words acer,xoom, thread, and gingerbread.
Now what I have noticed is it only finds the words on the visable page (whats on screen) and only highlights the search words once you have scrolled it onto the visable page. if it is not on the visiable page then it does not show it in the search results.
I called acer and this is normal function for thier stock browser. have you tried to use a different browser as I am sure the result your looking for is you want the search to cover the whole page even the parts not on screen?

The proper behaviour I believe is that the stock browser (like any other browser) is supposed to scroll to where it finds the first instance of what you type and have the letters highlighted. It works (scrolls) correctly on small/medium pages, but fails to scroll to the highlighted text on very large pages like the one I posted. It just sits at the top of the page. The navigation arrows to move to where it found the text (if more than once) also do not work in this case. On a Xoom with 3.2, this feature works fine on the link I provided. I search for 'acer' and the browser scrolls automatically to where it finds the first instance. On the A500 with the latest OTA update, it finds and highlites the text 'acer', but does not scroll to it.
Hope that makes sense.
Rob
mine also does not scroll to the first instance. is it just on the xda web site? or all web pages in your browser? if just xda may have something to do with the web page it self and your browser.

XDA is the first and only one I noticed it on so far. I use the 'find on page' feature a lot because that forum list is so long that it's otherwise hard to find what you are looking for by manually scrolling.
Rob
I have checked my browser and brightness. Both work fine (tested on xda forums) but I'm using a custom browser.apk taken from ASUS Transformer so I can't judge the official version.
I did use the official 3.1 version for a long time (until last week) and search worked just fine. It highlighted and jumped to the first word as it was supposed to. I didn't bother to check if it was the latest version because I'm using a custom rom from day 1 (well actually not day one because we didn't have recovery then but you get the picture ) and I don't get regular OTAs as you guys so maybe it wasn't the latest version.

I tried many times to get the auto brightness working and it would not. Now, coincidentally I just tried it again 1 minute ago and it's working... Go figure .. lol
I'm still trying to figure out this browser glitch...
Rob
Hey rob I dont know if you use custom roms or not but ,I put the new Virtuous XooM H.C. 3.2 on the acer and everything works like a champ. yes its honeycomb 3.2 and fixes all the bugs at least that i can find.
Browser search works right(as mine did not either) wi-fi and gps work like a charm, battery life is way better, the interface is nicer and smoother, it has the new option to make programs tat were made for phone screem fit the tablet screen(nice), and all my media stirages work external usb keyboards harddrives and all, IT just works.
its a shame the tablet is awsome but acers software seems to ruin alot. so far everycomplain i have read about the iconia is not the hardware but acers software thats the problems even the wi-fi and gps issues all seemed to get fixed with software.
Heh. That's why I use Tabonnay rom as a base and then strip out all the Acer and google stuff that I can.
EDIT: Damn now my light sensor isn't working anymore. Meh I'll just get used to it. It's bound to start working sooner or later.
EDIT2: Fixed it.

Stock Samsung Browser

I know a thread has been made about this before but theres has been no help for the force close issue im having. Is there a way to get the stock samsung browser on the Verizon S5? I like chrome but hate how it always refreshes pages and my girlfriend hates chrome all together. I know there are other browsers in the play but i want the samsung one. Any ideas?
When you say, "how it always refreshes pages" if you mean when you open a page, go to homescreen and open another app or simply have your screen off for a while and then go back to it and the pages refresh, using the stock one or any other one won't change that, thats just how it works, I don't know a solution and i appologize but i just thought i'd put that out there.

Hmm maybe I get lucky haha but the stock browser and dolphin never refresh at the rate chrome does for me. Sometimes I'd have 10 tabs open for over a day and open the pages no problem.
