I noticed when I go to sites that use flash, the pinch zoom, as well as scrolling is choppy. Is it because the flash for android isnt optimized yet? Everything seemed smoother before I installed flash.
I'm hoping it's because flash isn't hardware accelerated yet. I uninstalled it.

You know you can disable it in the plugins menu without uninstalling it, right?
In the browser settings, under "plug-ins", select "on demand". This way the flash ads and videos won't load unless you click on them.
The more you know. Thanks for the tip.
Too bad theres not a similar setting for GIFS.
Theyre bandwidth hogs and will definitely screw with your browsing experience.

A very strange thing started happening in the last few days. BTW, I am running stock 2.1, rooted, nothing much exotic done to my phone besides that.
I use the stock browser and the way YouTube videos have always been displayed is with a still image that has a "play" arrow icon in it. Once I clicked this, the YouTube app would take over and do a pretty good job playing the video. At worst, I would first be sent to the YT mobile site and would launch the video app from clicking there.
But now, in the stock browser Google Reader site (formatted for mobile) the videos have taken a flash-like appearance, which messes up the mobile page formatting, and when I click it, a lower-res and far choppier version plays! I am not sure if this is only happening on Reader or on all sites yet. (I can try to take a screen capture if it helps you.) Now if I'm not mistaken, there's supposed to be no flash support until 2.2, and I made no deliberate changes to cause this. The videos look like crap, are formatted badly on mobile pages, and unchecking the plugins option in the browser just replaces them with a black square I can't do anything with.
Anyone else seen this, and maybe have any idea what's happened and how to make it go back to the way it was?
you should try another browser besides the default you wont go back lol
i don't have this problem on dolphin hd
Anyone have a suggestion *not* involving switching browsers?
I had the same issue and I just cleared browser defaults and it cut it out.
(As a note, I have switched to dolphin mini and love it, waaaay better than stock browser. Liked opera too.)
Epic is as Epic does

Was worth a try, but no change. Have figured out how to launch the app by clicking on the window again, although oddly enough Google Reader no longer does *anything* now when clicking on the video image. I'm not against trying an alternative so will check out Dolphin anyhow. Thanks.
I have been doin my best not to rant but I am at my wits end with this whole keyboard lag saga. I have sat patiently waiting through patches hoping that one of them would correct the issue and obviously that has yet to happen. This is so critical how could they not have a team working day and night on a bug fix? Which would also lead one to wonder if it isnt a bug but a hardware limitation, which would be even worse...
What are YOUR thoughts on the lag? Are you just becoming used to it? Do you despise it as much as I do? Or does it just not bother you at all? Inquiring "mind" wants to know...
I really hate it, but I've been trying to use Opera and now Dolphin HD more lately and both of those are much better on the lag or non-existant, but yes it's hard to believe this hasn't been fixed across the board on all browsers. I actually think the reason Opera and Dolphin are better because they have that flash on demand option, I think flash auto loading is actually slowing the whole browser down including the typing, and javascript also so I'm afraid there isn't anyway to fix it besides turning flash on demand option on and disabling javascript seems to help but who wants to disable features?
seriously the only time i get lag is when I'm typing in forums. I never lag when i use polaris. I almost never use the stock browser. Try using Dolphin's new browser for tablets, it's still in beta but works great
LOL at all the people that think DolphinHD is different to the stock browser. IT IS the stock browser with a different skin... It uses the same rendering engine as the stock browser, it uses the same javascript as the stock browser...
Typing in Dolphin also lags for me. I really have no idea why this only happens in the bowser. But then again it could be the scripts on the page.
only lag is in the stock browser by one second, every other app doesnt lag like polaris or evernote for example, for browser if ur concerned about typing something alot use opera there is no input lag

Maybe but the typing lag is still worse in stock than Dolphin, and I am talking Dolphin for Tabs which came out a few days ago, not DolphinHD
So can others shed some light on what the compatability is of Flash on JellyBean and the N10. I know the background on it all already and that you have to sideload it. I installed the 11.1 APK and its showing as installed. Chrome I think doesnt do flash right? What about Boat Browser? Because I can't get flash sites to show up in that either.
What am I missing, or is there a guide or something I may be doing wrong either browser wise or other?
It definitely works in Boat. Just go into settings, then page content settings, and change the "Enable flash/plug-ins" toggle to "always on". That did the trick for me, anyway...
It works on boat, but I haven't been able to get it to work on dolphin yet. Anyone have any luck?

I've got it working in Dolphin, just sideloaded flash using this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763805).
It just seemed to work when I closed and opened Dolphin up the next time.
note you may have to restart the app/nexus to get it work if you installed flash after the browser is open. flash works in boat/dolphin/firefox here
I had no problem getting flash to work in Boat Browser. I couldn't get it to work in Dolphin. I had to get an older version of Dolphin from this thread for it to work. That was just for testing. I much prefer Boat over Dolphin (or any other browser).

I just watched an hour-long programme on BBC iPlayer in HD stream on Boat, and it was smooth as silk, and sharp as cut-glass.
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.
In dolphin if I full screen/expand an embedded video the nav bar pops in and out in landscape, I gave firefox a shot but that won't even play embedded video (audio plays but no video) unless it is youtube.
So which broswer should I go with, or if you guys have a fix for the above issues, I'd prefer something with a lastpass addon but I can do without.
AOSP browser is still my favorite after using a couple alternatives
Chrome or stock are the best ones imho
AOSP is just soooo slow, chrome is still working fine but no plugins means I have to use lastpass to launch websites.
I was hoping there was something better but it seems like I'm SOL.
When I used Dolphin browser, I found it to be close to the stock browser, just more feature rich. I tried using Chrome, Firefox, and Skyfire, but found the stock browser to be more of a favorite. I did try a lil browser that was really good with functionality with no bells and whistles at all, Naked Browser. I liked it and it is Flash enabled. Still, I keep coming back to the stock browser.

I've found AOSP to be far slower than dolphin (jetpack didn't make much difference for me though) and just slower than chrome.

Not sure what you mean about the nav bar popping in and out as I've had no issues with dolphin, When you view embedded videos make sure to have jetpack turned off (if you have it installed)
Opera Beta
It's based on webkit and extremely smooth.

When I view embedded video fullscreen in landscape the navbar pops up then, goes away, then pops up, ad nauseum. This has been happening ever since I first installed dolphin (5+mos ago) and way before jetpack was ever installed.
They seem to have fixed it for youtube but try this http://t.co/5h7Hx3UPCP it's a bill maher whosay link, if you view it full screen landscape in dolphin you'll see what I'm talking about.
So a little testing:
AOSP - Runs fine but it doesn't expand to fill the screen once the navbar hides
Opera - Won't expand the video
Chrome - Runs fine but it doesn't expand to fill the screen once the navbar hides
Firefox - Audio plays but no video

Just tested that out, not seeing any issues with the navbar. Only thing I notice is the video gets cut off a bit in landscape

Not sure why it would behave differently from phone to phone unless maybe it is a CM/Dolphin issue, although I was running AOKP for a while and it had the same issue, not going to put a new ROM on my phone to check though
Here is a vid of what it is doing www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzNI2RReeJ8

To be honest, that makes it even more frustrating.
Just use AOSP browser and install ICS flash player apk so you can watch all your naughty flash videos with low hassle :thumbup:
