I noticed that when I use heavy amount of apps, my browser simply wont work. I use the task manager to kill apps but no go. It just loads a white screen and must do a full restart. I like this tablet with full hdmi but might return it. Anyone else have this issue or fixes? Couldnt find it on search.

Yes, this is a common issue and it is due to incompatabilities between the apps and HC 3.2.1. The mount point was changed for the SDcard. the apps that try to cache to the SDcard are having issues. The browser is one of them. A lot of people are using Dolphin HD. They going into the settings and telling not to cache to the SDcard. It does not eliminate the problem, but seems to make it managable. It will take a change in the apps to fix the issue. Dolphin has a beta out that address this issue.
Thank you!

Please note that the Dolphin beta does not address the problem. Periodic wiping of the cache is still required to prevent the browser from locking up.
According to the support email I got from Dolphin, the beta 7.2.1 has this issue corrected. And so far as I can tell, it has solved the problem.

Dolphin HD appears to have been fixed for the thrive, so far no lockups. The developers jumped on it and fixed our issue fast.

Insufficient information.
What page? The page you're loading makes a HUGE difference. There are pages which even on a fast link can take 20+ seconds to load.
Unfortunately, the network troubleshooting tools you need prob require root. I would say try a tracert to a website giving you alleged trouble. If the response is within an adequate range, start looking at any browser plugins you may be running if applicable. So many variables with this, and as was mentioned, some pages just render slow.

Try another browser like Dolphin. You could also try to clear the cache in browser settings, wipe history, passwords etc.

Not the best of advice to give to someone who might not be an expert. ICS ROM images at this point are still experimental, with their share of known issues.
Unless you use your tablet to take pics or as a GPS device, it works great as a daily device.
Everytime I try to start my camera, it won't open and "media scanner running" starts. I can clear data in Media Storage and it corrects the error until I reboot my tab and it starts all over again.
I have tried everything I can think of including switching to every available ROM. The only "permanent" fix I've found is flashing the 3.1 OTA rom.
I'm hoping someone has had this problem and found a solution.

Multiple times...just found what I think has fixed the issue. Seems I had a corrupted multimedia file of some sort. I just deleted all media (pics, movies, music) and started from scratch and has worked thru 3 reboots.

After a few hours the tab rebooted itself and since then video player has been working, no idea what it fixed, but it fixed itself.

the media scanner can crash if it stumbles on a file with issues (corrupted, wrong file ending etc.)
first thing to try is to delete (backup) all the media files and see if works without them as Alleycat wrote.
teamovercome.net/p7500/?page_id=5 has a good guide at the bottom of that page for restocking. Also there seem to be a lot of problems around weird filenames, last week Kies would not even detect my Tablet until I deleted a bunch of files with strange characters.
I too had the same problem running task's slim 13. Does anyone think that this might be an android virus of some kind?
Edit: I also noticed a process called "root" running superuser permission. My screen would just flash "root has been granted superuser permission" but i would not open any kind of app. Also, when checking superuser I could see root had been granted access several times. Not sure if this is related.
EDIT: Nevermind, it appears the system just needed to scan for media and my sdcard was pretty full so it took a while.
I get that sometimes, to solve it clear cache of Video Player
Thanks
I will try this, I am still having issues with video player for v3.2

Hi,
I finally gave up on this problem and stollped the media scan from running at all - I have not noticed the difference except that the camera and video player now work. I used Rescan Media Root from the Market.
Sinnce I use QuickPic to manage media, I doubt I will suffer from the Media Scanner not operating.
Also using Slim 13.1 and the native Video Player. This issue did not occur with Dice Player, but I like the way the native player handles 5.1 sound
same problem. I am coming from AOKP. Can this be an issue when comming from an ICS ROM as the camera doesn't work there. I did a full wipe/dalvik wipe/cache wipe, why would this still be lingering? Still hasn't fixed itself and I tried the clearing cache under settings > apps. Any other ideas?
I had this when my storage was maxed out, what's the status of your free space?
Same happened to me after switching from ics to hc. The only solution is downloading Rescan media root from market and disabling the media scanner
if you are still in HC 3.2, the easiest way to fix this problem is going to task manager and kill the programs in the ram manager. worked.

I wish I could still use ad blocking but I started to notice on a few web sites I frequent, the back button would not go back to the previous page and the current page would just reload. I noticed this on my GS3 and the One. Took me a while to figure out it was ad blocking that was interfering with the proper loading and back function of these web sites for some reason. I don't have any such problems on my desktop PC, presumably because the ad blocking usually works differently on a PC. On mobile phones, it's usually just a freaking huge host file that black holes known ad urls to 127.0.0.1 or equivalent.

Might wanna try adblock plus, it works differently I guess, I indeed noticed some websites not working properly when using adfree or adaway or through the host file .. weird thing is I don't remember that on my jailbroken IPhone or GS3/Galaxy Nexus ..

You probably don't remember it because it only happens on some sites. Just so happens some sites I frequented had the back button problem, I don't remember the specific ones. Maybe huffpo.com or something like that.
I will try Adblock Plus, thanks for the suggestion. I use it with Firefox on my PC and I love it.
Adaway. Installs as an .apk, and works in the background. Even updates in the background.
Ad-Block plus requires that an icon be in the Notification area, which I don't like.

It can be hidden, and in apps menu notifications can be disabled, this used to be an issue in the early builds.
Adfree android works well, plus it's the only one to work on android 4.3. As for the back button, I always found pressing the back button twice worked for me.

Interesting, I had no idea the back button problem was caused by my ad blocker. I just thought the websites have really stupid developers. I wonder if they do this on purpose to punish users of ad blockers...
Still worth it to me. I haven't seen an online ad in years, besides the odd one that slips through

Tried all three (Adfree, Adaway and Mother of all Adblock). Found Adfree gives best zapping of ads, has the largest hostfile size (more ad & tracker sites blocked) and has the most personalised white/blacklist. Why am I on the HTC 1 thread? Researching to shift from the XZ to the HTC1 dual-sim or the Butterfly S.

AdAway, for the web.
If I really like a app I buy the donate/pro version so I can support development.
Using a host file with rom but I also have that website problem on websites like Engadget. But I just press back multiple times... the real issue is that I can't access websites through the slick deals app because clicking them just takes to a 404.
Not sure if there's a fix for this but I'm thinking of getting rid of the adblock

Adaway since first day and working like a charm
Been using Adblock plus and are very happy with it. Have some problems in a few News apps, but I'll guess it's ok.
Aren't apps like adaway etc blocked from the play store? How are you finding the apps?
Yes, these apps were available @ Play Store but Google removed them.
You can search for them on the net, download the apk file and then install it on your device.

Have been using Adaway for a couple of weeks ....Seemless :fingers-crossed:
Workaround for the page reloading issue when hitting back button is to enable webserver and set it on boot.

Some roms like android revolution use the host file from them. The option is there when you are flashing in recovery.

For some reason I can't access Google.com unless using Google chrome. I've tried multiple browsers as well as the built in browser and many different data sources (3g+4g+WiFi) and still I get web page is unavailable. I can get through if I hit refresh repeatedly. My desktops have no issue accessing google . this is the first time I've had an issue like this and I can't figure it out.

Did you dirty flash or clean? Clear the cache and galvik and try it again. Also, check if you can access it with a IP instead of domain... this could mean a DNS issue. http://74.125.21.101/
Ultimately, I'd post this in the CM11 thread to see if anyone else had the issue, though I don't recall seeing it in that thread.
Clean flash and the IP seems to work much better but if I click images it says unavailable.
I've also tried a DNS changer and tried Google DNS as well as other well know DNS services and nothing resolves the issue.
I didn't post in cm thread because I'm not sure if its a common system file that could be corrupt or what's going on and I also didn't see anyone with this issue.
Thank you for the help.

The images probably don't work because they will direct you to google.com/images/blahblah instead of 74.125.21.101/images/blahblah, what GApps did you flash? It sounds like maybe the Chrome is bad. Does it happen on any other site at all?
Yeah i know as soon as I click the links it uses the domain instead of IP. I flashed the gapps from cm.
Google chrome is the only browser I don't have this issue on. The default android browser and any other browsers cannot connect to google I've tried uninstalling them and uninstalling chrome and it makes no difference.
I would just use chrome but its fairly slow on my RAZR-M compared to some other browsers available.

Empty response almost always means DNS issues in my experiences... see if the browser you are using has DNS settings built in to the settings area. Change the primary to 8.8.8.8 and secondary to 8.8.4.4. Also make sure that no sort of apps would be blocking those browsers from having the permissions they need.
Every other website works like yahoo so idk if it would be a permission issue. And I looked and didn't see any settings in browser. I used a root DNS changer to change the DNS to googles like you said but still same response. This is very weird I've never had this issue before and it doesn't matter if I'm WiFi or 3g-4g.

I just tried it with Dolphin Browser and it seems to work normally for me. I had the same issue with the stock browser.

same issue
I experience same issue. The problem isn't with stock browser. Gmail app has issues with showing mail content if there are images. Usually images won't load or part of them will be loaded.
I have tried everything else to solve it. I can say for sure that the problem isn't with browser.apk. Also there is no problem with SSL as other sites work fine. I think that the problem is with webviewchromium frameworks or libs. Chrome browser uses its own libs, so no problems with Chrome. But any app using webviewchromium will fail to load content from google sites.
Is there any way to maybe copy the lib from previous build? I know 0 about dev. but I've updated to a new snapshot and still get same exact issue its frustrating not being able to use Google or see images.

I'm also having this issue and was wondering if anyone had found a solution to this problem yet.

Edit: I am able to use the Google Search app. In addition, StartPage.com (which uses google results) also works. If you really need Google and don't want to install dolphin that should work.
That said it doesnt totally fix the problem, as any google domain sites don't work.
You just have to update. I tried and couldn't fix it but after I updated all was ok
