Is ANyone NOticing the lag in Browsers.
I have tried Miren, Dolphin HD, Opera and STock Browser and neither of these browsers was ale to open even www.streaksmart.com and few other websites.
There is something wrong with the radio signals may be.
I have successfully applied D_Steves Performance tweaks and others mentioned here, Yes, the phone is getting a Quadrant of 1600+ but being not able to Browse some websites sucks big time.
It has nothing to do with the tweaks, Dell ****ed up again, Not to mention there no App with Front Facing Camera usage for Video Chat.....
Why the Hell is this happening???
Anyone else having sluggish browsing, Fards or DJ_Steve coould you Please look into that since you are the only Genius Chaps I know of....
I've noticed this too, I'm on T-mobile 2g and even though that may seem slow, it worked like a charm with 2.1. Then I switched to the 00 baseband with steve's build, and google seems to be the only site that works half the time. I was about to switch to the official 2.2, but hearing that you're having trouble as well is discomforting..
Its an identified bug.
Apparently opera and firefox work fine.
Dell are aware of this problem.

I can't find what's causing the error admittedly I'm no longer on stock so stopped working on it si much) I. Suspect its an error in the dell webkit Source code, and is likely to need a fix from them. they have stopped the roll out to fix it
As I know from dell facebook page, dell is working on this "too many redirects" problem, but I have worse case and I don't know if it's just me or everyone on 12332 build with smokku performance fix, on 3G very often some random websites can't be open (web page not available) even when I start default browser on which google.co.uk is default, it can't be open - it's loading and loading and after a while a web page not available error appears, and just a bit later it works again, so I visit another website and it's loaded stright away but after a while the same problem. I don't have it on 2G or via wifi, the same behaviour is on dolphin hd browser, so it does not depend on the browser, could you check that for me, please?

Yeah, I have the same problem too mate, don't worry you are not the only one suffering here, dell screwed us up again, Dolphin hd didn't work at all for me, i was unable to open a single webpage especially in desktop mode, right now i am using skyfire v3.0 and it is working very efficiently, give that a try and let me know how it works out for you, we can only wait for dell to fix this...
Bbtw I hour the same issue but it only started today, everything worked fine before I've been on stock 2.2 for a week now and til today browser, stock and dolphin worked fine
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
ok, so I'm not alone yes, I'll try skyfire then,
do you think that dell can fix that issueing just kind of patch or it has to be complete new froyo build?
cheers
Just checked now I only can't get the default browser and dolphin to work on 3g but on wifi its fine, btw it worked on 3g 2 days ago really weird that it stopped now

As they were mid roll out when we highlighted this, im presuming they will push new complete builds out.hopefully they are looking to fix other bugs in there as well
RE: Slow Browser
my pc's internet connection is very slow too, which always drive me crazy, I want a program to solve my slow computer, several days ago my friend recommend me a software tuneup360, now I'm waiting for the result. i wonder do you guys have any good recommendation?
UPDATED: Release 5.0.1 fixed the problem. Back to being my favorite browser!
If the update to version 5 of Dolphin HD refuses to load pages or won't load them at all on your A500, please go to our blog and comment with specifics so we can refer them to Dolphin in the next day or two.
I had the same problems with the beta version and uninstalled it immedietly. We want to keep this A500 specific, but are interested to know if other devices are having the same issues.
Please comment here:

We are not doing this to make money, so don't click any ad links while on our site unless you see something you just have to click on. (We only make a penny per click anyway).
Let's make sure Dolphin pays attention to this quickly.

works fine for me. i just dont like using it because it doesnt seem to be able to download any file over 1mb. it just saves the html if its over. so im using opera. seems to be a better browser anyway.

Agree i too using Opera Mobile since it can download anything.
Only negative is no Flash in Opera yet.
It's because that Google hasn't open the Android 3.0 source code.
but it seems that Opera Mobile support HTML5.
Yeah, the update gave me problems, it is sporadic and hard to track down. When it occurs the pages fail to load properly, and I have to force the program stopped (application manager or task manager) to restore it to a functional state.
But, when it is working, it is a very nice update...
Same for me...I tried the Dolphin beta and had all sorts of issues where the pages wouldn't load any more. I uninstalled it and went back to the stock browser, which is working pretty well since the update. The previous Dolphin HD version was awesome.
Yesterday I installed the newest released version of Dolphin HD and am sharing it's use with the stock browser. It seems to be working okay, but I haven't done much surfing in the last day or so.
Update
Go the Dolphin home page and under the goole search bar you will see "page loading disturbing you now?". It appears this issue may have been addressed with a new beta. It has worked for me but I have only been using it for a short while.

Solved it for me. I was having problems with both my HTC Evo 4G and my Acer A500 with v5.0.0.
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.
I ROMmed my TF101 as soon as I got it, so I cant comment on if it did it before, but now, regardless of the ROM (revolver/krakd), pretty much any browser will randomly crash while Im browsing.
Is this normal?
Mine did this stock, and still does on all roms. No its not normal. I'm guessing its a bug in honeycomb.
Scribed in blood using XDA Premium
same thing happens to me and on my samsung captivate too. interesting...
Try clearing cache and history in whatever browser is malfunctioning
Same here
doesnt bother me though
Yup...not often...but it happens...can't wait to see how stable ICS is when it gets here.
Swyped using my Pinky
Thats why ICS is essential and i have not opened,better statement,i refuse to open my transformer from early december...
the browsers in Honeycomb is a JOKE.
crashing all the time, i have used 10 browsers and they do the same quite often.
imagine writing a long forum post...the nerves...
generally honeycomb is so bad,it is unbearable.
lets see how ICS will be...
Dolphin for pad and firefox have given me the least grief but as everyone else says hopefully ics will make browsing better if it does my browser list may change again but at the moment i dont even have stock deleted it because its that bad!!!!!!!!!
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
i wonder if someone from google,asus or whatever read what xda users are reporting,saying,remarking etc...
browsing in honeycomb reminds me days from i.e. 6

i forgot where i read this, but there's a way to stop, or at least reduce the browser crashes. In the address bar, type in "about:debug" without the quotations and press enter. then go to settings in the browser, and select "debug" from on the side. Uncheck everything except "show debug console." That's it.
EDIT: found the site. actually, it says you only have to uncheck "Enable OpenGL Rendering," but if that doesn't work, then just follow what i wrote above. http://smartadopter.wordpress.com/2011/05/22/tip-improve-honeycomb-browser-speed/

It seems like this needs reapplying after updates, as well, as it gets reenabled eventually. (Or did for me.)
Boat browser could be the answer
I olso had problems with slow connektion, forceclose and no responding with Asus and dolphin and other browsers.I have playede with Android since the first HTC Hero and have tryed all browseres out there.. I realy like Dolphin. but it is slow. and just stop and forceclose without reason with my Tranformer.
Then someone in a Android forum in December toll, that "Boat browser" was very fast and without noticible bugs. After 2 month use I can tell that im totaly agree !
Boat browser is my first browser choice, and today I only use Dolphin when I need Google translate (as a plug-in)
Go and try Boat with our Transformer, I think, that you realy will like the speed and stability. Writing in forums is olso much better then the original and Dolphin browser- still not perfect... but better... I hope that ICS will fix this problem.
There is a secondbrowser from Boat callede Mini, but Im not sure where difference is...
Sure, Boat is very fast and users are giving it amazing 4.5 (!) total in Market, but it olso need more like plug-ins. The firm behind said that they will give us the option soon.

I have been using ice cream sandwich 8 hours now and I am very impressed. I am using flexreaper and am blown away. The speed of the stock browser is kick ass. The pages flip or scrolls almost to fast and too smooth. I was not expecting this much , dam good job to all that made it happen. Now I have a kick ass tab.
Yeah, I'm running Taboonay 3.0.1 and love how smooth it is. was using it in the McDonald's at the truckstop I'm parked at for the night and the browser was super smooth (loving the little tab on the side when scrolling up and down). not using the stock launcher (am using ADW) but for the short time I did it was nearly flawless. I can't get over how quick and smooth it runs in general, if the "leak" or ROMs based on it are this smooth I can't wait for the official release (and hopefully Acer doesn't screw the pooch between now and then)

Is it laggy when you move through system settings?
For me there is no lag anywhere at first Tabooney installed here as well. After all day using the web browsers I noticed it was getting slow. I went to settings apps browser and cleared cache and it helped. the browser experience to me is like the browser cant exactly keep up with the OS it sometimes seems to be a bit shaky and text artifacts .Typical for a new release of say firefox would often do on a super fast computer. But its a very small issue for Such improved speed. Chrome browser will STOP and end at a black screen for me quite often . i would say avoid it until they give another update or 6.
I have tried some of the other roms as well and they all seem very similar. AWESOME WORK FROM THESE GUYS ON SUCH A SHORT TIME.
Yes. I agree. It's like I have new tablet, speed is amazign and stock browser is great too.
I have one question. I installed chrome for android (beta) and every websites load in "mobile version". Is there any option to get classic desktop version of website? I didn't find anything in settings
I am using Taboonay and it is working great!! ICS is going to make the A500 even that much better!!

Ok. I just checked mine, and I use Dolphin HD from the market.
On my status bar (with dolphin HD open and on a page, say Cnn, I select the settings in the taskbar, More, and select MobileView) You can toggle this between mobile and desktop by selecting it. Note that it will always say MobileView. Just press it, and Select Dolphin HD for doing the action. Page should change.
This should work for you. But you have to be on a web page.

It's okay .. I hope it will be available in final version
