Hey All, I've had my TF for about a month now, and while I do love the device. the one thing that is constantly annoying me is in the browser. I have the agent string set to "Desktop" and it displays almost all websites without a problem. The annoying thing is when I open up Facebook and click on a picture someone has posted, it loads the picture up at a large size (almost full screen) with flash, but when I try to scroll to the comments the picture stays up blocking the picture. Has anyone else had this problem or know a workaround for it? The closest that I have come is keeping Dolphin also installed on the TF with the agent string on that set to Phone so I can view without Flash freaking out. Thanks!
Wow over 40 views and no thoughts. Am I the only having this issue, or the only one too dumb to know how to fix it?
sorry i cant offer a solution, but i can agree with what youve described. Picture blows up, and ive noticed the most horrible lag during that time. I try closing the picture and it takes a good 3-4 seconds to close..
havent tried on any other browsers

If I try to search anything on Google Images, all I get is a blank page.
In single column view, I get everything except the pictures i.e. search field, page numbers, other little graphics etc.
In default view, I get a total blank page.
In desktop view I get a blank page again but I also a horizontal scrollbar with it.
The odd thing is that if I view the source of the results page, it's all there, it just doesn't load at all. I have checked by installing Opera and Google Images displays fine but I don't want to keep Opera.
Any ideas on what's causing this?
Thanks
Anyone have any ideas?
Sounds obvious but you have got PIE set to display images haven't you (Menu-View-Show Pictures).
Sorry if that sounds patronising but it usually is fogetting the obvious
Sounds to me like PIE is a bit screwed, either that or your registry settings are a bit fubared...
Personally I like to use both Opera and PIE, because PIE can load SWFs (provided you've installed the PPC Flash Player 7 cab, of course) so I can get my Weebl and Bob fix, but Opera is just so much better at rendering pages, and its download manager is far superior... And it feels less clunky... And it can do FTP... and... well, just use both side by side for a while and you'll realise it's not a bad investment
Weebl and bob on the phone, what a fantastic idea. <off to load Flash 7>
apologies for my previous post, when I wrote it my phone connection wasn't working so I couldn't try it out. I also am experiencing exactly the same problem as described. Would say it's most likely down to PIE not being able to interpret the script used by the Google Images page.
Yeah, i agree!

But why on some devices and not others? I used to be able to browse perfectly on my JAM.
Anyway, I wanted to avoid a reset but it looks like the only way it might fix whatever's gone wrong.
Thanks
I notice that sometimes android will automatically refresh a web page, one situation that it happens the most is when I am browsing the internet and open a new window from my current page, after browsing the new window and closing it, the original page gets refreshed.
Is there a way to disable this? I dont want it to refresh unless I tell it to, and its really annoying.
I guess the browser simply give up previous page when you open a new window. this is a measure to save memory and increase efficiency. a simple solution is to use a third party broswer like opera mobile.
What's worse is sites that do a perma refresh on a page. The new faceook (non mobile) is an example of that. Totally unuseable with the Android browser
i hate the auto refresh crap. especially if im google reader.
Any news on this?

Except that is SHOWS you the entire page just fine for a second, then refreshes.
Extremely annoying on EDGE especially.
I have no idea how one would go about fixing this, get into the browser code I guess.
I, alas, am no developer, but I'll donate 10 bux toward a developer fixing this, lol.
Ya that auto refresh is terrible, all it does is slow everything down since i only get edge
Most annoying part of android. I hate it to an unmeasurable degree.
I hate opera, as well as any other browser I have seen so far.
I hate this crap too. If someone can hack multi-touch into the browser, surely this can be fixed.
ya come on we need this fixed

This is a caching issue. It has been discussed many times. Use the swapper script if it really is that important to you.
and "we" need to fix this? Yeah, I'm sure you're going to contribute a whole lot.
wow i'm really sorry, i know i can't do **** about it thats why i hope you guys help me i couldn't find a link with the swapper script
so if you could tell me that and how to apply it i would love you
+1 this problem also really bothers me, hopefully someone can put something together.
generic node i'm waiting fofr your help
Search the forums.
thank you so much generic node i owe you one for that
so i searched for g1 swapper script so if i just run that script the webpage won't auto refresh or what
Hi Guys,
Sorry if this is turns out to be something really stupid and simple, but I've looked about for ages and can't seem to fix this problem...
I was looking on the tweaks page and decided to try the tweak to allow me access to the iplayer website. All worked well and I had no problems on the web page, but ever since I've done this ever website i seem to goto all the images now seem really grainy and poor. I've since changed back the "Custom User-Agent" field to what it was before, but this hasn't made any difference.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, or at least know a way to restore it to how it was before? Just hoping for a quick-fix rather than another hard-reset...
Many thanks in advance
Haven't you experimented with Opera Turbo too ? Since new Opera Turbo uses pretty high image compression. Opera Turbo can be turned on somewhere in opera:config on HD2.
Hmm not that i can see, the option is still unticked there so i don't think it's that... But i'll have a play about and post back what happens. Thanks though!
UPDATE: I've had another look and Turbo is turned off. I even tried loading up a page on Internet Explorer just to check I'm not just being fussy, but the image quality is much better on IE that Opera all of a sudden...
normally you can set the image quality in opera. there must be a setting somewhere that lets you select high/medium/low quality.

I agree, and I'm glad someone's raised this. It's one of those things that makes me think "I must check on XDA to see if anyone else thinks that the image quality is a bit pap", but I always forget.
Thanks for asking this

I believe that only applies on Turbo.
I also want to sort the poor quality of the images in opera.. looks really naff!
I'm also dissappointed in the quality... Hope there will be a fix for this...

I'm surprised more people haven't picked up on this one.. On a nice large screen I want all pictures to look their best. Things like the google logo etc looks terrible. Surely there is a mod/setting that can be changed!?
yes but opera mini has a built in turbo mode , and the picture quality is 110% sperior to everyhing else
change show pictures in user prefs to 2

In mini you can set picture quality.
Opera turbo has to be turned off if you want god picture qualities.
My apologies for having missed this thread: I started another one on the same subject here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622661
Seeing as this problem affects me not just in Opera but in IE as well, my tentative conclusion is that it's not the application that's the problem, but my mobile carrier (T-mobile in my case). If I (and others who came to the same conlusion, many before I did) are correct, then what happens is that the carrier detects you are requesting a JPEG image on your data connection, fetches the JPEG itself, recompresses it to make the file smaller, and then forwards on to you the compressed version. Opera or IE is unaware of this, and simply displays the image it gets. This image is also cached; so, if you fetch the compressed version you will see that same compressed version again the next time you visit the page, even if you're browsing over wifi. The only way to see the uncompressed version is to exit Opera, go back in, clear the cache, then connect to the page in question over Wifi or ActiveSync.
Does anyone else have the problem with htc messaging where it takes maybe 10-15 seconds for a messaging thread to open?
I use my phone mainly for texting and I have a lot of texts on it even though its only 3 weeks old. So its very frustrating when I click on messaging and then on a thread, its so painfully slow. Is there a way to speed things up or is it maybe a rom thing?
Im using duttys v1.8 rom btw.
Yes, it is insanely slow at loading a thread. I have to export my messages regularly, cause as soon as I pass 100 in a thread it begins. Incredibly annoying!
So I am not the only one with this problem.
Some threads are ~350 messages long, and those are a pain in the bottom to load.
would be nice if someone could help us set a limit for the ammount of messages it shows, just like the old windows mobile 6.1
i have the same problem, but i find a sort of solution.
don't close the message application: click menu--> show all message, and stay here.
From this point there's no lag when you open threads. (like bertus i've more then 400 messages for every threads).
I personally clear them all out every so often (bout once a month) and always save anything important to a note file which is then syncronised with my Outlook via Activesync. But I admit its annoying, I get delay when there is 30 messages... lol
Just a thought but have any of you installed the SMS fix so that you can start a new SMS immediately whilst the list is loading. If not i suggest you do a search for it on the HTC website or on this one.
HTH
i installed it 2 days ago. but where's the difference?
i don't understand what it should do. '
...
Got the same problem.. Apart from the iphone, HTC is loading every conversation you have when you open the sms window.
Example iphone only loads 20 messages in 1 page, then you can choose to see older or newer messages...
HTC MUST make a fix to this soon..!!!! Its pretty annoying that it lag.
The SMS fix by HTC fixes the issue whereby you couldnt start to type a new message until the list had fully loaded. After installing the fix you can start a new message immediately whilst the list loads in the background. Hope that clarifies.
I do agree though that the messaging system in sense needs further work to improve it but this fix goes some way to improving it.
HTH.
tnx manimal i understand now.
Is really frustrating when the phone finishes to load the messages and the focus goes to the last one and you must re-select the type box for seeing what you are writing o.o'

I agree but at least you can make a start. I also noticed that even though the focus changes to the last message if you carry on typing it will insert whatever you have typed when you change the focus back the message input box.
You can type while it loads, yes, but the the typing becomes laggy and it doesn't catch half the buttons which are touched. I have tried to contact HTC about this, but there was no understanding to the issue...
By far and away the best solution to conversation lag is for HTC to do as others have suggested and only have the application load, say, the last 20 messages, or at least allow users to configure the number of messages loaded in conversation view. In truth, it could be less than that. Most of the time, all you really need to see is the message you're replying to. It'd be nice to have a halfway-house which offered this functionality. Like for example if you clicked on reply from the traditional view, it would have an option to show the message you're replying to at the top of the screen. Perhaps there is already a way to achieve this?

+1! ... The most annoying thing about the HD2... Makes me wanna throw it away and go all apple again... but then i look at the big screen
Haha.. yup, me too!
I hope, they will fix it in the next rom update.. So it doesn't load every message...
my longest conversation is around 50 messages because I prefer e-mail to sms, but although I have both sms hotfixes, it's still laggy. I don't want to know what it's like with 350 messages gj htc you failed again
is there a good 3rd party messaging program we can install to deal with this problem?
I actually think they should just go back to the regular inbox instead of htc messaging like on other windows mobile phones. that one is a lot faster although less flashy.
this is really frustrating me and I think I might give up on this great device because of the messaging lag and also because it freezes up on me at least twice a day.
Its too bad because it has a lot of potential.
hi guys, I'm finally Xoom owner as of yesterday, haven't even gotten the thing rooted yet so.....falling way behind. Man, I love this thing though.
So the problem I'm having has been hard to research because I don't know what some of the basic website types are called. The biggest problem is my bank website so sluggish and choppy it's really not useable. Actually though I'm noticing that posting here is causing the same trouble so....what is this dialogue entry, scrolling animated called? Cause if I can't get it to work with this, the enemy is going to pull rank and make me take this back for the laptop she has picked out.
Is there any browser, or add on that will hook me up?
If Pnc's app wasn't so half ass this wouldn't be an issue!
Edit: also, I'm having trouble with some streaming video feeds on web sites. Like once it stats to buffer video stops while audio continues. Ie the video part doesn't restart but buffer continues.
