Is it just me or has the page rendering on XDA gone bonkers when viewing from the Tablet?
I changed over to the rather ugly XDA Classic theme that fixes the rendering issue but what's the deal with page rendering on the XDA 2010 theme when viewing from the Tab?
Did something change in the css as I am getting this issue on ALL custom ROMS..
+1... they break something after "maintenance "
Man, am I glad I saw this thread. Thought I was going nuts!
Yeah thanks for starting the thread. I was just about to spend who knows how much time trying to figure out which app was killing all my memory.
It's being 2 days now and the bug in XDA web is still there... it makes hard to read site on a tablets (I've tried Dolphin HD and standard Android browser).

Why not just use the XDA HD app frm the Market for your XDA needs instead of viewing directly from the Browser?

I think you quoted the wrong person. Of course that's what I do, but trying it for the others having problems using the browsers and everything is fine. No issues like they're having in both browsers they mentioned and a couple others everything is fine...
I don't like xda app and yes they fixed CSS... so all good now.

Since the app doesn't work, you've got no choice but to use the browser. However its a lag fest.
On your Xoom scroll down to the the very bottom left and change "XDA 2010" to "XDA Classic" . Makes this site much more pleasant to browse... Almost no lag at all.

i use the premium app and it remembers my login and alerts me to threads ive subscribed to.
i also appreciate the OP for point out the trick to get the forum to work better. my main reason for getting the xda app was to get around this slow scroll. id much rather use the browser to "browse" the forum. ill check into this trick today. many thanks!

i can't stand any apps for forum browsing. i like tabbed browsing, but great tip.
so what causes the slowdown? i'm making a guess that it's the text antialiasing. they must have it set to high which makes for the blurry type. any way to tweak it?
ditto, nasty yellow colors, but scrolling is so much smoother with no lag. Thanks!
Much better!

Thanks for the tip, works great.
So what is the cause of it running so slow to begin with? I mean it's great that we have a work around, but for an $800 device I expect it to be able to browse a simple website without the need for a work around to keep it from lagging.

Use any of the alternative browsers that use a different engine - which as of today are either Firefox or Opera Mobile. Both show XDA forums just fine with no lag.
(ditto for Slashdot, if you read/post comments there regularly - it also has the same trouble with stock browser)
Ugly, but changing the theme is much faster. Thanks for the tip.

Try Opera browser. This browser is really fast on the Xoom! Also for the XDA forums it is a great browser. Almost no lags.
Anyone else having constant force closes with the free XDA App. Not sure if its a HC issue, app issue or Acer issue. Hope its fixed soon its much easier to use than the full site.
I have had this issue with a few apps. Seems most are not quite honeycomb compatible yet.

I'm in this state as well; I'm on a Nook Color running CM7, and the XDA app FCs if I look at any article after logging in. If I don't log in, I can view articles all I want.
The FC log entry shows that it's in xda-specific code, not in tapatalk itself.
The xda app seems to crash on a lot of tablet based devices... it did on my Archos and gtab.
Got fed up and paid for tapatalk pro and it works perfectly.

I went and bought the XDA premium app and have not had one FC on my tab nor my D1. Well worth the $1. The free app would not work at all with the favorites section on the tab.

Its not a tab issue, its a HC issue. For whatever reason, the free app isn't compatable with HC, but the paid app seems to be.

Across four different android devices, the XDA app has never, ever been stable enough for me to use for longer than 2 minutes.

No, it's an Android problem. It has the same issue on 2.2 with the Viewsonic GTab and on my Samsung Galaxy S with 2.1. It's been known about for months, but XDA doesn't seem inclined to fix the free app. Go figure.
I only have FCs when I sign in. If I don't sign in no issues at all.
Usually FCs on me when I try to view a thread.
If they have known about this problem and done nothing about it it doesn't exactly inspire confidence in paying for the app.
In addition... This is a developers site and they cannot develop a stable app? That doesn't reflect well either.
I agree. I had this FC issue with my elocity A7, besides my A500. I purchased the premium and have not had this problem. I can even send reply, could not do that before with the free apk.

I have had the web close like that on me before, but never consistently for a single site, and never on XDA :/ try this:
Settings> applications> manage applications> all> browser> clear data. No guarantees, but maybe it will fix it.
I think he's talking about xda app. It's a known issue on the free app.
**My mistake I just re-read the the question... no idea why the browser would be crashing for you on xda. Dolphin, Opera and OEM all work for me.
he gave no specifics in his original post, ie: which version of HC, what build, etc. No way to help him based on a question without pertinent info.

Past Firefox has sucked hardcore, but now, wow. Its smooth, no chopping zooming out either, it reminds me of the stock galaxy s2 with the bounce effect.

The address bar doesn't scroll away when your scroll down webpages, it takes up too much of the screen real-estate.

Dolphin is good in writing, but too unreliable. Tabs didn't load a lot of the time it didn't even show up at all. Had to keep changing the current from desktop to phone just so i could post messages on different sites....the list goes on.
Any way to back up the bookmarks like Dolphin? I installed it when the stock browser was fc-ing on bookmarks and found the import/export feature makes life easier.
People should really give boat browser a chance. Very good speedy browser! :good:
completely agree with boat browser. I don't understand, why is it so low profile, I have tried other popular ones like Opera, Dolphin (& mini), stock, etc, but Boat seems to be the best of the lot
I think dolphin browser hd is really good along with stock s3 browser.

I use chrome because I am all Google and signing in allows me to save bookmarks easier. I might try this and see how well it mashes with flash. I can not stand the stock browser for some reason.
Anyways the only thanks I am giving is to the one who presented us with the new version being out. Thanks OP!
By the way flash is still available for us

For Firefox and Chrome, try loading engadget's desktop site. While loading, try scrolling down. You will see a lot blank white and takes sometime for it to load. Stock loads much faster.
Firefox has a great interface

Maxthon is the best browser for Android:good:
I noticed about 4 months ago, Chrome on my S3 didn't like XDA.... So I used Firefox with no issues.
Then I had a LG Optimus G Pro (for about 1 week) with same results, so I used Firefox.
On my HTC One, neither Chrome or Firefox works on XDA, only the stock browser worked.
Now on my S4, I've tried all three and none of them work?
The page will load....... I can log in, but every time I scroll, the page reloads, which basically makes it unusable now...... Anybody else run into this problem?
