[Q] Having Difficulties with android BROWSER

Hi, I just got my samsung galaxy tab 10.1 one week ago. Having fun with this awesome tablet. Very fast and interesting tablet. FANTASTIC!!! However, I have some difficulties using the default browser. When I was surfing Xda forum or whatever forum which contain a long page and have a lot of stuff, my browser started to get lagging. When i was trying to scroll down, the browser was lagging for while then started to load the page again. The browser was slow and is incomparable to ipad2. I was not trying to praise ipad2 or what, i just simply get upset with the performance of the browser =(((( ..you guys have any idea about this problem? Any suggestions for me to improve the browser performance??
CHeers.

Try to scroll down to bottom and change to Xda Classic in the drop down.

Yeah, that's true, but the same happened to me with the Asus TF.
I was reading on Xoom's forum that Honeycomb 3.1 update have better browsing speed and scrolling, also the OS UI overall. It's matter of time if someone reports better results with XDA 2010 mode under 3.1

Having problem using dolphin as well..so many problem when i surfing webpage that contain of long page or full of flash...Will samsung or android sort this out soon? Or just i am the one who having the problem?

I am also having a strange issue. Ever since I browsed XDA I will now see page artifacts left over show up randomly from the forum on other sites. For instance, on a google search result when I scroll I will see a large square chunk of the XDA page for a second. I have tried clearing browser cache, history etc... any thoughts? I hope this makes sense

I cannot get Quick Controls to show up in the stock Android browser on my 10.1v? Can anyone else?
Doesn't matter which way I swipe once enabled, can't get it to display!

This is a known issue. Once we have root we can replace the browser with the browser from the Xoom.

I wanted to love this tablet but seriously the bugs make this thing crappy. The browser issues are bad. Dolphin works but tweaks out from time to time. Add in the wifi and disappearing status bar issues. Makes me wish I had sold this puppy. So unhappy with this thing. Really disappointing. Glad it was free.

I have the same problem in the stock Android browser. I haven't done anything specificaly to try to fix it. I do find it helps to zoom in and then the artifacts dont show.

Didn't google say they were stopping fragmentation and forcing OEMS and carriers to have at least 18 months of updates?

Except for US carrier's phones, Samsung gave quite good updates.
But that's US carriers faults.

I haven't been having much problems with my tablet other than the time change issue which was fixed using someone's apk to unlock the automatic time. I too have a few issues with the browser occasionally, especially scrolling in XDA but you just have to be patient. Sometimes scrolling will stop working but I just close all my tabs and re-open and it's fixed.
I'm extremely surprised at the fact that some people are upset at the fact that we got a tablet that is not even publicly released yet for another month and it has bugs. YES, the unreleased tablet has bugs. It was mainly given out at a "developers conference" to DEVELOPERS to develop for. I am absolutely happy that they gave us these devices so that now the people whom want to develop applications on a tablet device are now able to test and debug on an actual device other than the emulator which they admit is not-so-good.
It's almost upsetting that people are so easily selling these on ebay just to make a quick buck and chance the fact that google may stop (but probably won't) giving out these sorts of devices to developers in the future developer conferences.

I wouldn't have a problem if it was just a few bugs. Or even bugs that didn't stop daily use. However I have probably an entire page of bugs and issues with this thing and I haven't done anything fun to it yet. I can only go maybe a day or so without restarting it.
Maybe I sound ungrateful and I shouldn't be. But my frustration at this thing is unpalatable. I hope that Samsung fixes these issues and soon. Because to me this thing is almost unusable and I am certainly not going to develop on it until something more stable is available.
I also don't understand the decision to announce 3.1 and then a few minutes later give everyone a device with 3.0 and tell us a competing device will get 3.1. WTF?! In what meeting did that sound like a good idea?

I'm sorry to hear that you're having so many problems :-/

This right here is what I was extremely confused about when they had the whole keynote section about 3.1 and then we go down and pick it up and it has 3.0 on it. I was like whoa whoa, I don't understand what is going on here.

GB Update reviews.

I just want to see how everyone feels about the official update. My niece has my old epic rooted with a ec05 rom. I just want to see if I should get her to update.
So whats your thoughts, first impressions, battery life and all.

Well here's my two cents...gps lock is not fixed...root is currently impossible to retain with the stock kernel. You need some kind of modified kernel to keep root. Keyboard lag is still present unless your rooted and install a fix.
These above listed items do have remedies, however they require a custom rom or multiple patches to fix.
That being said...if you always run stock there are no additional negatives. Gingerbread is much faster,smoother and cleaner imo. Take it from there.

I think both of these statements are wrong based on my experience.
I have root and have no modified kernel. I think you can keep root without a fix, what you can't keep is a custom recovery program (like CWM).
I have had no keyboard lag so far. If it is there, it is definitely MUCH better than the previous version.

It is not incorrect...just incomplete...I think its foolish to have root without a good means of nandroid backup and custom recovery.

I have backup with Mybackup and Titanium, so I am more than happy with my backup options. ROOT itself is very important to me (and a lot of other people), so given the option I would rather have root and no custom recovery program, as opposed to a custom recovery program and no root.
A very important distinction to make.

No, just unnerving that they'd have such a forceful recovery program. Samsung has been sneaking little locks in things lately. Odin can break them but it's frustrating that they've gone down this road.

ah gotcha.

there really is no point in staying on froyo ec05 now. the only thing i could think of that would keep me on it would be SRF1.2 but since you didnt mention she had that i would say just update it for her. Things are quicker, snappier. The OS is built to be more stable and just all around better for the phone than the froyo version was.

Keyboard works so damn well!! Seriously its never worked this well for me. I'm running the deodexed build with nubernel so I dunno if there are any key lag hack built in or not.
Cd's or tapes?

My main beef with my phone has been fixed with this update. Music playback was annoying. Didn't matter if it was stock player or PowerAmp, I would get a weird hiccup at about 3 seconds into every song. On top of that, I could hear some electrical crackling when doing certain things while listening to music, especially while using wired tether. Gingerbread has eliminated it and music playback has been flawless for me all day so far. Not even a little click when the screen goes on/off anymore.

No doubt this phone still needs to be rooted with some patches just to make it useable. I'm disappointed samsprint took this long and still left so many of the original issues that shipped with the phone on eclair.
Basically it has the exact same widgets and touchwiz as always but with the underlying os updated to gingerbread.
I was hoping we would get the sgs 2 version of tw with the new widgets, and see the keyboard, and gps working out of the box.
Also the browser is pissing me off. It removed the zoom buttons and double tap isn't zooming in anymore...?
Its not all bad. With the gps fix (flashed in cwm) I'm getting better gps locks than ever before on this phone. Also the system as a whole is a bit faster. Unfortunately you will still make tradeoffs by updating.
Edits:
Tap to zoom works on non-mobile websites in the browser. Using my /data hack I was able to change default text size also.
Notification LED does in fact appear to be fixed...but there is a very long time between blinks (something like 20 seconds), would be much happier with a 2 sec blink. It is so slow, I thought it was not working.

I wanted to bring you this good news XD
From Galnet:

Changelog for 2.11.26 :
Network Modifications:
•Corrected Signal Strength Readings in Status
•Improved network power consumption

•Updater may FC on first boot, don’t worry about it, as it will work correctly once this occurs.
•Phone call recording (This is something that we won’t support due to legal issues within the UK, please don’t expect it).
Credit to galnet and all who participated

I flashed this yesterday, pretty stable and everything seems to work. There are a few things people should be aware of.
1. There is no voice control
2. If you synch your FB contacts you need to go into the FB app and tell it to synch
3. The battery life is so so
4. Make sure that you do a factory restset, clear cache partition, and clear dalvik before flashing.
Other than those things, this is a really nice ROM, very slick, very fast, and seems to be stable.

Questions: Which Kernel to use and does external SD mount correctly?
Also does the ICS hardware acceleration work here?

Honestly Im not sure what Kernel he's using but this is the info
2.6.35.12-gdf10700
[email protected] #1
Don't know if that helps any, I was wondering myself if there are any other compatible Kernels that may help with battery life

Say I was on (rooted, custom rom Paragon 6) 2.2, I could just stick it on the card and flash over or must I flash a cm7 kernel and then flash rom over that?

Awesome! you rock solid.

BTW I know someone asked but I believe you need to be on GB bootloaders in order to flash this ROM, so if you have 2.2 or below find the instructions for getting the GB bootloaders before flashing this ROM or you just might brick.

Soft brick. Flashing back to stock works after bricking into Galnet MIUI.
Also, OP, do you have anything to do with the Galnet project, or just providing a link?

I'm pretty shocked how smooth this Rom is. I do really like the look and feel to everything. Will report more later once I get to play with it
EDIT: Flashed from Illuminance 2.1 with no problems so far

Screenshots?
Can I have some screenshots please? I would to see how it is before I flash it. Thanks!

ICS....not yet worth using :(

Hi all,
I know everyone is working really hard on the ICS source for the S2 but from what I've experienced so far its not worth moving on from 2.3.6. I know this is all testing/dev work and things aren't going to run to smoothly but I dont seem to be able to get a stable ROM that works for all the below, at least one of them doesnt work or crashes all the time (I seem to find I'm CWM backup'ing/restoring and titanium apps all the time and restoring ROMS instead of using the phone lol):
- USB utilities - crashes when trying to use it
- GPS doesnt work to well - even with the agps patch applied
- MMS/3G signal doesnt work
- Nova launcher on most crash
- Messaging stops working from the dock - so you have to clear the data to re apply launcher settings
- some other stuff I cant think of right now
If I can put a tick in the box for all of the above I would be a happy man til then I'm sticking to 2.3.6 ROM's (Not moaning, just thought I would put it out there and see what everyone elses thoughts are) :-D

Just realized what i said...Anyway so many threads out there already regarding ICS just post in there regarding making a new thread. You only get people coming down your thread just cause you opened a new thread on a topic that is already kinda getting boring with all the crap everyday you read on here and people opening so many threads when you could just post in the ones that are already created..

thats what you get when you use a beta version. post the same in existing threads, and do read before posting another thread.

I was actually not going for.ics myself due to what I was reading... but couldn't resist anymore and have been on Darkys (Ficeto) LPB for 2 days now... I'm actually quite happy and surprised by the performance and ESP battery life... probably not.going to switch back to the bread...!

I agree. I have been trying about 5 versions of custom roms with ICS which all users would say are very good but I was very disappointed in performance, and sometimes it would freeze.

ICS.....not yet released!
Be patient now.

U guys need to do a full wipe even if the ROM says no wipe. Otherwise you will definitely get issues. I was having some before I did a full wipe. After the Wipe did a fresh install of a Custom ROM and now its awesome. Definitely can't go back to GB now

A huge squadron of super-developers are rushing your way, sir. Their mission is to make ICS work for you... TODAY. Your words are praised, and wishes are their commands, to fulfill your every need. Please, stay put, and wait for them with cookies and milk.

I agree, don't think I will use it till either samsung release it, or sammobile release a proper rom leak that samsung will later release.
Just beta versions at the moment, rather disappointing.
CM9 is supposed to be nice, but I hear too many things not working, & will they never add fm radio support?
So... For now, I'm holding out on 2.3.4

LPB (Stock rooted) has behaved extremely stable so far, in fact the modem seems to more stable in comparison to GB.
Which rom you tried and did you wipe before flashing? LPB is not perfect (after all it´s a leaked beta) but it is more than usable as daily driver

I admit I hardly use USB, but MTP works stable for me
GPS lock in under 10 seconds, seems to report more accurate on ICS
I suppose you mean HSPA/3G signal, works perfect with LPB (in previous versions it didn´t work)
No a single crash since install (a week)
No dock, can´t test this
LPB (Stock rooted) has behaved extremely stable so far, in fact the modem seems to more stable in comparison to GB.
Which rom you tried and did you wipe before flashing? LPB is not perfect (after all it´s a leaked beta) but it is more than usable as daily driver

I shouldnt do this cause my mates friends uncle will kill me but.
Ive got hold of a fully working release of ics that samsung will roll out the only reason they arnt is cause they are waiting to time it for the sgs 3 release, they want to encourage people to upgrade to that and then once thats sold well will offer this upgrade for the sgs2.
There have however been reports of phones being bricked due to a time stamp in the kernel stopping the kernel from running before a given date.
So I repeat this ROM will brick your phone
flash in odin as normal

It is really annoying... so, vodafone ones are updating BEFORE unbranded ones???
That brings down some unwritten rules, like that one saying unbranded always update first.

I Got sick of waiting and branched into trying those custom ruins and have settled with sweet Rom by not-i which I'm content with and will stick with for the future.

Finally managed
I have now manged to upgrade. I am on Vodafone I had some problems and failed to update OTA. After several attempts I managed through KIES, which is now working. It seems to be quite smooth, as far as I can tell it does not have multi-view (I hoped it would).
I am quite happy so far.

Decided to take the plunge with this stock ROM. Been running for 25hrs now, Flashed with battery at 100% and as i type this battery is at 70%. Usage has been 60mins Bluetooth audio, installing all my 43 apps from play store, dozen texts, 10mins of calls, 10mins of internet and email. I expect in 28hrs time it will be given its first charge since flashing.
No lag, no heat, brill battery time, and fast n smooth.
Also , something to note for other users, I'm not on Vodafone, in fact I'm on three(uk), this ROM chose the correct csc for me, i had expected to input my carrier settings myself, this was not the case.

Not really something new and no surprise. Sky tries to protect Sky Go and so it is completely understandable that they will stop it working on rooted devices.
