I'm having a problem with the web browser.
Basically it keeps closing when I click on a link. Example, right here on the XDA forum when I click on one of the threads the web browser just shuts down & returns to the home screen. I had it just a day & took it back to the shop & they swapped for a brand new one.
Got home tried the web browser & it did exactly the same. I've not loaded any apps its straight out of the box, set up wifi & fire up the web browser.
Also I changed the UA string to desktop but it doesn't work either. Got no problems with my HTC Desire or the Dell Streak.
Any others having the same problem. Looks like I might have to return it again tomorrow.
I have experienced this too a couple of times. I found deleting cache data and cookies then also disabling plugins in browser settings seemed to fix this. Not a major issue.

Same here.
Strangely enough it only happened here at xda-devs but doing as you say cleared the issue and it's been right as rain ever since.
What does disabling plugins do? Does it stop flash from working? And how about the UA string, why won't it stay in desktop mode?
Thanks
As far as i can tell disabling plugins doesn't appear to do very much. I noticed YouTube videos will stop playing in the web browser (but will play in YouTube app perfectly fine) and that's about all. Flash support in this version of the browser is so minimal that it is barely worth having or switching on.
I have no idea about the UA string.
i had that problem on a nexus turned off my locations by wifi in settings and worked fine.
OK I've returned the phone for full refund at the shop I bought it from. I'm going to give the Galaxy S a final chance though as I will buy another from a different shop. I'm thinking it could be due to fact that the previous shop stock was from a dodgy batch of phones.
I think you'll be disappointed, sounds more like a software issue than a hardware one and I cant believe a batch of phones had a software flash go wrong like that. What id like to know is if this is just a Galaxy S thing or not? As I thought it was the same browser on all eclair phones.
I have a HTC Desire aswell. The web browser on the Desire doesn't have any of the issues I'm seeing with the Galaxy S. The problem I have with the Desire though is the external speaker volume is too low & tinny, but most significant is the pink tint when on the lowest brightness setting (I use the phone a lot in dark conditions). In saying that I noticed that the Galaxy lowest brightness setting is still much brighter than the Desire.
try out Skyfire? other browsers?

If you want to try out a good browser, then try Dolphin HD.
Very quick, slick and does have some nice features.

In what way?
I'm using it over the default browser and love it.
Ok, my browser (both the default one and Dolphin HD) shuts down randomly back to the main screen. Usually it's preceded by a single vibration, followed by three quick vibrations before it happens. This happens regardless of what website I am on.
I didn't have this issue at all on 2.1, and to be honest I really wish I hadn't bothered updating the phone as sites loaded and ran quicker on 2.1. Wondering if you guys have any ideas.
My baseband is I9000XXJPM
Build is FROYO.XWJP6
Oh and, I'm running RyanZA's OneClickLagFix 2.2+

The vibration pattern you mention are indicative to a Force Close procedure.
Clearly something is interfering with the Internet App.
What happens after a reboot?
It's the same after a reboot. I rebooted it this morning before coming into work. Later in the morning I was on the internet on my phone and the same thing happened.
edit: I upgraded via the reg-hack to force Kies to give me the update. The JPM firmware is onlly for nordic regions, I'm wondering if maybe the proper European firmware will solve the problem...
Also: FIVE MINUTES BETWEEN POSTS FOR NEW USERS?? JESUS CHRIST, XDA!!

I would say it looks quite good that you have a problem with the ROM.
I would put the correct ROM on your SGS and if Kies is problematic use Odin.
There is a great information link on how to use Odin to upgrade a ROM at How to use Odin to Upgrade the SGS to Froyo.
I used it and it worked a breeze.

Dolphin, skyfire (i really hate this over hyped crappy product) uses stock browser engine. So, on froyo they perform as the default browser. Browser on froyo sucks badly. I browse quite often and got a few fc (vibrates.. phone unusable for seconds, that happen when an app FC in official froyo) or simply self close. Plus how much resources eats (cpu + mem).. simply pathetic. Eclair browser performance was way better..

That's just your opinion and you are quite entitled to it especially if you are experiencing the problems you mention.
Mine however performs without a hitch. It's quick, reliable and does exactly that as I ask of it.
I'm having only one serious problem with my Vibrant, and while it's a little problem, it's frequent enough that it is driving me nuts, and also doesn't allow me to use (at least) one of the apps I use every day.
The issue is, when I go to some web sites, whether in the stock browser, or in another browser, like Skyfire, or whether it's in the browser within an app (for example NewsRob articles) I get a psuedo-crash where it opens the stock browser and says:
In a pop up box: "Problem with file The requested file was not found. webkit/"
In the browser window itself: The Web page at file://android asset/webkit/ could not be loaded as: The requested file was not found. webkit/
In the address bar: the same url as above.
If I hit back a couple times, it will take me back to whatever content I am looking at. But this is incredibly annoying when it's half the articles I'm trying to go through on NewsRob, or when I click certain links and it comes up and I have to hit back a few times before I can look at the page.
I have noticed the following:
- it seems to happen on pages that use Flash, it might be javascript as well, but I'm not sure. HOWEVER, disable plug-ins and javascript in the browser setting does not change the error from happening.
- thinking that it has to do with Flash, I looked into it more on the device. I noticed in Applications, it shows Flash listed, as well as Pineone Flash lite" so I don't understand what level of flash the phone has.
- I also noticed that (coming from a Nexus One and myTouch Slide) I don't see thumbnails for a lot of flash video content like on those devices. If I got to sites with Flash content that is not a video, it's just not there.
Anyway, if anyone knows how to fix this, I'd be much obliged.
I searched google and found almost NOTHING, which is shocking and makes me think perhaps a hard reset would fix it, but I'd really rather not have to re-set up my phone if it's not going to help.
The only thing I found online was that apparently some Droid X owners are having the same issue.
Anyway, any help would be great.
I have the same issue and just assume that samsung modified the browser so it broke whatever plugin its trying to access. The problem is any articles in newsrob that have an embedded video.

But I've found that it's any link from anywhere that leads to a page that has a video. Which is immensely annoying.
any other ideas? does anyone else have this issue?
Captivate too
My Captivate has same issue. Thought I had broken the phone rooting, enabling sideloading,or hiding the bloatware.
My guess is it's probably related to flash lite 3 which is a plugin preinstalled on the vibrant. I'm going to assume that this problem will disappear once froyo rolls out.

I'm getting the same problem as well on my Samsung Captivate. Very annoying since more than half my articles have links to videos in them.

I tried removing the flash files from /system/app and rebooting. It still happened. Disabling plugins in the browser doesn't help either. Irritating as hell, I sure hope CM6 or the official 2.2 release come out soon and fix this. And the GPS, compass, etc..
I had the same issue with Dolphin Browser HD, but I haven't had the issue yet with the stock Vibrant browser.
Does anybody have any insight on this? It's still plaguing my newsrob whenever there is an embedded video in the feed.
It's a problem with flash lite files. The vibrant has trouble with its implementation.
Not sent from my Vibrant using XDA App 'cause I returned it.
I hate to make froyo this holy messiah but will froyo fix that as well?
I'm actually hoping froyo literally cures cancer.
Btw, I'm on a Captivate, but this topic wasn't in that forum. I thought it would be relatively universal though.
Ok,
does anyone else notice that the Atrix touch screen location seems a bit off?
I really notice it during browsing the internet and it seems it needs calibration. I cant say how many times I have had to click back an redo my clicking action. It seems that when you click its not accurate...
Any one else notice?
Can it be recalibrated?

Yeah I've noticed this too. It's not too bad but it is moderately annoying.

SAME HERE
Yep, same problem here but only happens in the browser. No problems typing at all but I always click a link and it seems to click a link or two above my intended selection. This problem was also even more prominent when I tried to use the firefox browser which seems to be the only browser that will allow me access to my schools website..sticking through it for now in hopes that a software update will fix it unless other users aren't having this problem, maybe just need to exchange this particular device.

After reading your post I agree with you. I mostly notice the problem with the browser. I do notice it slightly when typing but this could be do to me coming from an Iphone 4 with the keyboard being slightly different.
I dont know if you tried the browser Skyfire, but this was the only browser that I could make changes and save them when accessing the Google Voice settings from my phone. The standard browser, firefox, and even opera didnt display the full page so I was unable to actually save my changes.
Skyfire has its annoyances as well but its the best I found so far...
Thanks

Well Mine was annoying to type in landscape cause the spacebar was about 1mm higher then it looks. Felt like I was typing a "B" to hit the spacebar.
That was annoying but now, now I have the Nexus screen flip-out! Any time I type or touch the screen the thing flips out. It has a area that is seeing a perminate touch or something.. there is a app on the market that allows you to see where the touch points are. I'll have to down load it and then show someone at ATT to get it replaced... I'm irritated cause at this point I've got a lot of work in it and I cna't just make a nandroid and then restore on my next device..
Sorry about the double post, its not letting me edit my last.

If it is like the Nexus, no software won't fix it, or at least never did. They claimed they were "looking into it" BS for you'll replace it soon enough..
Is anyone else having the touch flip out issue? with multitouch visulizer or multitouch tool see what you get. I ran visulizer on mine and after about 2 min it had a perminate point on the top right corner, eventually it locked up to the point of not being able to use it.
Well hopefully there is a fix for it...I kind of put myself in a tight spot as I installed adeo rom prematurely and as far as I know there is no going back to stock yet. On top of that im pretty sure DG is done done with the atrix so unless someone picks up where he left off and I can getback to stock, ill have to live with the problem. Stupid me...

So it isn't my imagination, or my fat fingers. ONLY IN THE BROWSER. I'll touch something, and something a good 1/4" below it gets selected.
I'd say calibration also, but that doesn't explain why only in the browser. (I miss my Palm stylus!)
Are any of you facing this same problem?

Hi,
i recently received my transformer, and there seems to be some issues displaying Korean.
As you can see from the attachment, specific letters are being overlapped, making it almost impossible to read.
It happens in every app... dolphin HD, Gmail app, Stock, but I don't think it happens when I type.
What can I do?
thank you
Tell Asus. Send them a tweet and/or contact them on Facebook. I don't visit Korean sites a lot, but did test some out and see the same problem.
I just sent them a tweet. Hopefully they see it.

Thank you very much for the tweet!
I have also sent them an email about it... so hopefully they fix the issue.
I have also came across a thread about not being able to type in korean using the dock, has that been fixed?
Thanks again!
Opera mobile and firefox beta displaying korean fine... hmm.
But flash doesn't work well in opera or firefox...
Youtube main page says to install flash even though already installed... Some videos says it cannot be played on this device. But some play okay? weird.
That happens to me too. It seems to be the problem of the rendering engine of the default web browser. For me, the symptom happens when you type in an input form of a web page, but does not occur when you put words in, for example, the URL box. Also, it happens after a syllable block starting with 'ㅍ' or 'ㅎ'. Hopefully they can release a fix for this soon.
Btw, it's really good to see some Korean TF101 users... I never could find anyone in Korean forums.
it is pretty annoying that it can't display korean properly on apps...
Also glad to see a fellow Korean user of transformer
sam problem here..
Havebeen looking for asolution for almost an hour... nothing useful...
Mostly korean in apps r displayed fine but the problem is when it displayed on browser...
Fourtunately im not quite much using korean when doing some tasks on the tablet..
But itz so annoying. Hope asus provide some solution for this.
Try typing in "about:debug" without quote sin the URL and then going into Settings -> Debug and disabling wide view or opengl rendering (or both) and restart browser and see if it helps.

Got the update notification yesterday on my X Style but after installation, I noticed that regardless of what browser I use, the phone lags. I tried clearing all data via the chrome settings and restarting my phone but that didn't fix anything. The lag is really noticeable on every site I visit. It definetly did not do this on Lollipop.
Browsing on the phone has now become really irritating. Anyone else experiencing this? Is there a fix?

WTF.. is this happening to everyone on this update 24.11.18.en.US? That sounds like a significant issue..
I downloaded the update yesterday over Wi-Fi after taking out the SIM tray because it wasn't showing up on T-Mobile but haven't installed it yet because I keep seeing people complain about browser-Wi-Fi-call connection issues.. where is the update downloaded to so I can uninstall it to avoid the annoying reminders if there are so many issues..
Same here.Some websites lag,sutter in chrome after updating to MM.Did a factory reset,didn't solve the issue.

Reinstalled Chrome but that did not work. I've tried other browsers such as Firefox and a handful of others but they all perform the same.
Every single site I visit now lags and stutters during and after the page has loaded. On Lollipop, I've never encountered lag/stutter doing anything on this phone. I'd usually have 5-10 tabs open and the phone would still fly. After updating to Marshmallow, sites such as XDA, OCN, Reddit, and basically all the sites I usually visit that loaded and performed fine on the previous Lollipop install now lag and stutter very noticeably.
The MOTO X STYLE I've got is the 32gb version bought from Handtec in the U.K, and I'm on o2.
Reading through this thread and many others, it's clear that I'm not the only one experiencing problems with the new update. Just wish Motorola would fix it already. They obv test new versions before release but I just can't understand how they messed this release up so bad. Lollipop was amazing on this phone, how could they screw up Marshmallow so bad??

It is frustrating..do Nexus devices also have such update issues?
Could try to contact them at: https://motorola-global-en-uk.custhelp.com/app/mcp/service?g_id=5141&session=LBEOPUDm
Unfortunately "You cannot downgrade to a previous software version after installing this update" according to https://motorola-global-portal.cust...prod_answer_detail/a_id/109124/p/30,6720,9541 (I'm in USA currently on a T-Mobile SIM) so my downloaded update will likely go uninstalled until the update issues are figured out.. Anyone know where the update is downloaded to so I can delete it or how to stop the reminders to install it?

I just noticed this on youtube, and some times even the keybiard lags while using a browser. It justs sucks.
I am also seeing this problem. With MM, Chrome seems to stutter and lag much more on sites with heavier graphics and ads/pop ups.
I don't have this kind of problem, but i did a factory reset as soon as the MM upgrade was over, i think it's always a good idea to do so after a major release. My browsing experience is as smooth as before with facebook website for exemple as i don't use the application.
Nevertheless, I have also experienced troubles with youtube, some video starts with only the sound, i have to relaunch the application to find a correct behaviour.

It's the same hardware with same OS update so why is it affecting users so differently? Is it some software conflict caused by impacts of different apps? I'm assuming MM will prompt users to update their apps specifically for MM (where available)..
I'm resisting installing the update to MM until this is resolved..
