i just used the find on page function in the stock browser. was really sluggish and almost made my whole phone lock up. could someone test and see if it is the same in other builds. im using hyperdroid 1.1.
tried dolphin browser aswell but that did the same. then tried skyfire, while it was a little slow it worked. one thing i did notice was dolphin and the stock browser used the same find on page interface while skyfire used its own.
mine worked fine. im using shubcraft 1.5

hello everyone, new to the forums. read post since i got my x10 but never posted. Ive looked and tried to find if someone else mentioned this problem but couldnt find anything.
I recently rooted the phone and used titanium back up to uninstall the default browser (browser 1.6). I thought i didnt need the browser but found out that skyfire needs the default browser for it to work because it uses the webkit libraries
anyways i was wondering if i could somehow reinstall the browser. i made a backup of the browser before i uninstalled it but cannot restore it. can anyone help me out i really want to use skyfire for streaming video. thanks and sorry if this is in the wrong area

I don't think so. For streaming video you better use Skyfire.

As the OP said in their post though, Skyfire needs the default browser to be installed as it needs to avail of it's libraries. Since they can't install the default browser again, they can't use Skyfire. That is their problem.
Everytime I go to 511.org, after some time the browser closes and the phone jumps to a blank home screen.
I use ADW and it looks like all the icons are gone, and in a couple of seconds everything comes back.
Does anyone else experience this? Or can someone else try it?
Stock 2.2 rooted, netarchys 4.1.8-cfs
Never heard of that site before this thread.
Crashed my browser too, about 10 seconds after opening the page.
Running cm6 with stock cm kernel, using dolphin HD browser
I get such crash viewing surfline.com when I do lots of zoom in & out on their home page
confirmed. stock froyo'ed. dolphin browser.
i think the dolphin browser tells the site its regular computer instead of a mobile device. probably the java script is confusing the dolphin browser...
Same thing on my friends stock 2.2 on regular browser.
FANTASTIC!
So I'm not crazy.
It happens to me on both stock browser and dolphin, whether it's in mobile view or not.
Now, does anyone know how to diagnose what's wrong and/or fix this?
Would anything meaningful show up in the log file?
goatse.cx crashes my browser, as does lemonparty.org...
Just sayin'.
Crashed my stock 2.2 Evo back to the 4g screen.

Hi everyone..
we all know that the our tab it's wonderful and speedy..except for the only thing it make the difference today..the browser(someone told about dolphin hd? )..so my question is..it's possible to mount froyo's stock browser instead of default modified by samsung?
I miss something?
Thanks to everyone who help me..
Download DolphinHD or xScope from the Market.
orr Miren (awesome)
yes..I know both these browser but my question is about changing the browser.app with adb and mount stock froyo browser..
too easy download an app

dolphinHD is based on the same webkit..so it is a little slow..as the samsung crappy one..we need to change the entire app!!

The stock Froyo browser would still use the same Webkit as well!

I cant use anything but the Dolphin browser... as all my bookmarked pgs are gesture opened... until someone comes up with the same thing for other browsers, I can't use anything else Too easy to go "flick flick" and open the exact pages I want...
However, I admit, pinch to zoom could be a little smoother on Dolphin HD....
I also have nice add ons which allow me to shake/flick to jump from tab to tab
just an FYI, the newest firmware (euro) fixes the lag of the stock browser. i was looking for the same thing too, pushing the stock browswer from my nexus didnt work. but now i dont need to do it.
All the browsers I've been using for my phone are slow, laggy especially in forums and typing is a pain. Why?
Miren; is slow on forums and loading pages. Scrolling is choppy and typing on forums is so bad. Loading massive pictures on forums is a pain.
Dolphin HD; is the same as above, but not as bad. Still an issue.
Skyfire; not as bad on forums, but not as good as say iPhone or Opera mini browser on forums.
Opera Mini; awesome scrolling, but no pinch to zoom, no link detection on forums, typing on forums is good. Website compatibility issues, like my bank for example.
Opera 10 beta; website compatibility... I can't remember what else I didn't like about it. *** edit *** oh I remember no flash support as of now, same with mini
Stock; Tabs suck, scrolling suck, forum typing sucks, can't exit program without task killer or hitting back 1000000000 times.
All the browsers suck at scrolling, but the one that is good there's a whole new set of issues. Why? is it my ROM (Team Whiskey) not being fully compatible or something to do with android in general?
I'm still on JI6 2.1~1 update but rooted but didn't modify anything browser wise and stock browser as well as opera both scroll and pinch to zoom fast with no lag or stutter so I dunno.

OP did you try disabling flash? My broswer works fine using bionix V. Try using JFD or JI6. Browser in 2.1 is waaay faster than 2.2
I dunno what would cause bad performance like that, maybe clear your cache data. I actually prefer the stock and Opera browsers better than their desktop versions for reading blogs and forums...maybe cause I can do it laying down and one handed thanks to swype.

You could try flashing that 2.2.1 ROM. The browser in 2.2.1 is supposed to be faster, right?
All the browsers suck in froyo for using forums. I cant even see what im typing atm due to the way they got rid of text editing box. The only browser ive found that still has it is opera mini and that has silly refresh issues that end up deleting your post before you can submit it.
Also lol at the captcha on this site. Was bloody hard to do on mobile. Especially for a forum about mobile development...
Have you tried Dolphin Mini? Its not perfect either, but I've tried all the browsers you listed as well, and this one has been my favorite so far.
firefox is ok, its has smooth scrolling, but it takes a while to start up and its a resource hog.
I happen to like Miren Browser from the market. Its free and gets the job done and often times allows me to DL attachments and such not normally accessible.
Im finding Opera to be the smoothest browser experience, over Dolphin and the built in one.
Especially on a page with very wide content, maybe a picture to (craigs list) where you must slide the page way to the side to see pic.

+1 for Opera Mobile, fantastic browser.
Opera did some strange stuff on my a500. No keyboard, black screen...
maxthon for tablet for me

I've pretty much tried them all! I still go back to stock browser. Only take a little time to load flash images.
Been a Dolphin fan, they all seem to work but I am currently using "Dolphin for Pad" it's a beta
Dolphin browser mini is best I've used

Maxthon mobile for 10" is a real good browser and quick also.
I've been using Dolphin for pad and it seems pretty good. I'm wondering how maxthon measures up to it.
is it just me or the browsers seems not so responsive...
like the stock browser when i type something, there is a delay from the moment i hit the key to it showing up on the screen...
then other browsers like dolphin, opera loads the screen fairly slow compared to my phone on the same wifi connection.
also, anyone else having trouble with flash videos playing poorly? when I skip ahead on a flash video, the picture freezes a while
Ive tried opera, dolphin as well as the less than useful stock browser..
personally so far MX has been by far the best, mouse gestures and speed have the others licked..
Dolphin Tab beta has been pretty good so far!
I prefer the stock browser:
I don't like Opera because it works in mobile mode and I can't get it to work in desktop mode (I even used custom user agent but it didn't work).
I don't like Maxthon because it shows google results on google.co.ch or whatever is the chinese google webpage. I hate it.
Dolphin Tab is ok but I feel like it's slower than all the rest.
I tried a lot of browsers and I'd really like to switch to another but so far every single browser had some problems or issues.
i stick with stock browser
But I admit - typing in a text forum depending on how the software is set up was painful when i first bought my Iconia - 3.01 had some serious lag.
3.1 helped a lot - i find the browser to be a lot faster and more stable, but still the text lag was a little annoying. Once I learned how to over clock and run at 1.54GhZ when using the browser, I am finally happy with stock.

Awesome browser, thanks for your suggestion.
maxthon got a great UI but it is slow.
Opera doesn't save movie links.
Dolphin makes bookmarks very inaccesible.
Not true, dolphin has your bookmarks very accessible.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Really.are they one click accessible like on the native browser? If so then I never found the button.
best browser?
I haven't tried maxthon...
...but
I use Firefox, Opera, and Stock...
Firefox... only because I can synch my bookmarks and passwords with my desktop (very useful) but flash sites don't always work and flash videos never works.
Opera - strongly considering this as my favorite... but occasionally some sites don't work right, flash works very well and I like the UI
Stock - only use it for certain flash sites.
All-in-all at the end of the way if I had to dump two I would keep Opera
