Very annoyed at this point with the browsers on this device!

So obviously I go to XDA everyday to look up information and post things. Well this has been huge chore for me with this device.
First off I have found that the dolphin browser slightly edges out the android browser for being the fastest. Even the dolphin browser can't handle quick replies and posting from the XDA 2010 browser very well. When I switch to the classic theme I am able to get more done. If I try to blaze away in the the 2010 theme I will get double button pushes and a ton of mis spellings.
This brings me to my next gripe. Say I write a block of text in a quick reply window and there are mis spellings (which there will be with a software keyboard) trying to fix these mistakes makes me want to throw my tablet at the guy sitting behind me a work. The little green arrow never lines up with the cursor, and when I go to move the cursor it is just all over the place and 2 seconds behind my finger presses on the screen.
I would remedy all of this by using the XDA App but it crashes constantly.
Also trying to do things such as login to Facebook and browse around make the device want to roll over and die. JESUS MY CELL PHONE HANDLES FULL HTML WEBSITES. I can honestly say that if the text editing were better I could live with not being able to run the 2010 theme. But why the hell does Facebook chug so hard? And why cant this damn thing load the 2010 theme???? Its a text website with minimal pictures!!!

so LOL
In editing that last post I realized that even though the arrow doesn't line up with the cursor it still functions correctly, you just have to deal with its random behaviour I guess. Also if you zoom considerably it helps a lot with text editing. Who woulda thought?
This still doesn't explain the poor performance on a lot of websites.

The XDA app is working fine for me, and judging by other people's signatures, it's the same for them too.
On the other hand, the general browser stability is pretty poor over all. Dolphin and the stock browser will just quit on me without warning. I was loving Moreno browser on my phone (Droid X), but, while it renders perfectly well, it FCs too much.

I use opera, no real issues except with load time which feels slower.
As for keyboard I'm using the hacker's keyboard. I love it more than ASUS or default.

You can draw the green arrow around after it appears if you're having issues getting it to position correctly.

I had a problems with XDA where I could not navigate to the previous page.
Most site work fine but on XDA and Yahoo when I hit the back button, it only refresh the current page and stay there. This is both the default and Dolphin HD browser.
The only one that let me navigate to previous page is Opera, I use it when I don't need flash.
On a positive note I just update to Prime v1.4 ROM today and it seems to be much better. It's letting me navigate back.

Im using the prime rom as well and haven't experienced any force closes or problems navigating back. Only the editing problems and overall slowness.

It feels like I'm using Windows 98 with Internet Explorer 6.
That said, most problems can be solved by rebooting.

Its a shame this is such a miss, given it's the primary reason for the device to exist for many people.

I can say it got significantly better with the 3.1 update and a modded rom, but its still not where it should be.

So far what works best for me is opera mobile in desktop mode. See site below in how to set it up.

I own Xoom as well as Transformer. Stock browser lags like hell on some websites on both. Pretty sure its a Honeycomb thing.

Well I was looking for this setting for quite a while! Now that I tried it I only found out that the dolphin browser is indeed still a little faster than opera. Thanks for the info though.

Would you say that they perform similarly performance wise?

I did too, back when everyone was 3.0.1. The zoom and a500 played smooth in YouTube app while my TF struggled, although my video quality was much better.
I wondered if zoom and a500 had different HQ settings, wondered if all were actually using 720p, if HQ mode was really 720p for all the devices, or some were 480p scaled to 720p. That would explain to me any performance differences. With 3.1, this now called HD.
My YouTube app at 720p full screen on TF 3.1 is very good, no need to O/C to improve this app. Browser is another story, but I'm not convinced it uses H/W acceleration (yet).

Interesting thoughts. The responsiveness increase I noticed was in stock browser and home screen usage.

Just an update.
I am currently using Opera forced in desktop mode only. This is the fastest scolling and zooming browser there is. The only thing I hate is how opera functions when selecting text off of a page to copy. It is really cheap. I also like the fact that I can add any search engine to the browser. I couldnt stand how every time I did a Google search it would search through Google mobile, so I just added the main Google search and all was fixed.
Typing on forums has been a breeze for the most part with opera, now if I can just find a way to use the Native copy and paste on web pages it will be almost perfect. At least when editing text or web page URLs it uses the native highlight feature.

I gave up. I really hope by tf2 both device and os have ironed out kinks.

Such crappy apps.

I've been trying to find the perfect app for photos (particularly for my Flickr photostream) and what an abysmal lot of apps they are. The only one that seems like it might be good is FlickFolio but you have to pay to find out if it is. There is no free trial version or light version. I've tried nearly all of the free alternatives including Flickr's ofiicial app and that is terrible (Stuck in portrait mode on the tablet until you open a photo fullscreen and then it suddenly allows landscape mode. Exit fullscreen and it is stuck in portrait mode again). JustPics HD is sorta OK but has an issue where it makes the screen go full brightness when you show a photo fullscreen. Also it only shows sets instead of the photostream.
Don't even get me started on the inbuilt photo viewer. Complete garbage (why do I want to see every image stored in my books folder! Sheesh!).
This seems to be the way with a lot of apps on Android though. They seem to cater for either phone users or tablet users and rarely both. I don't have experience of Apple stuff but I am guessing things are a little more together over in the Apple apps camp.
EDIT: Sorry just having a bit of a moan.

Give Quick Pic a try. It's free and works nicely as a photo gallery for viewing local content on all my Android devices...you can choose which folders to include or exclude and the image rendering is very fast.

Id get flickfolio, really good app has all your stream and sets and so forth.
It stores it a set amount locally also so you can view while offline.

I've sworn by quickpic for a very long time but since the last few updates my albums sometimes take up to 90 seconds to load.

Try clearing it's cache.

I've done so. its a problem after cache clearking and reinstalls over multiple ROMs.

JustPictures works great for online albums as well as local stuff.

Flickr Viewer HD.
So far seems awesome, pics look great and a very cool layout. Still needs some interface work but my favorite Flickr App

[Q] A500 Has Horrible PDF performance. Any solutions?

Viewing PDFs on the A500 would seem to be a proper use of the tablet and the Tegra2 processor should provide a lag-free experience but in my opinion, the ability of the A500 to display PDFs is severely lacking.
Reading just about any PDF other than those that are text only will start off good but, after reading 20 pages or so, the change to the next page will begin to lag and basically freeze or display the page in an unresolved state (blurry) until it finally pops in to focus. This can take 10-15 seconds or more sometimes.
The only solution is to reboot.
I've been reading several magazines and it happens on all of them from Maximum PC, Scientific American, etc. Note that all the magazines I read are my own personal subscriptions or are archives as provided by the vendor in PDF format so these are not warez copies.
I'm using Adobe Acrobat, Documents to Go, Quickoffice, and the LumiReader. All perform poorly so it's got to be the hardware. These PDFs display quickly on my main PC.
Does everyone see this crappy PDF performance or have a solution?

Can you upload a troublesome .PDF for others to test.

I currently use ezPDF reader (I think it was one of those 10-cent sale deals in the Market). It does great even on complicated PDFs. That being said, I've never had any problem with Docs2Go either.
One of the first things I do when I buy something that's semi-complicated/sophisticated is see if there's a manual for it in PDF format, and then I have it on my tablet for future reference. I used to do the same with my phone, and prior to that with my Palm PDA. It wasn't until this tablet that it was remotely reasonable to read some of those manuals, as they're pretty complicated with text, graphics, diagrams, screenshots, etc. One or two are almost 400 pages long each.
I'm willing to try any "problem" PDF on ezPDF reader. Just link to it somewhere and I'll let you know.

I too agree with the above poster: ezPDF is plenty fast and it works when nothing else does. Perhaps it's worth trying?

I use the A500 daily to show clients catalogs showing products from heavy graphics PDF files using EzPDF. Never a problemn nor any perception of lag.
I properly index and bookmark my files and after the customers do some viewing on their own the reaction is usually "cool, where do I get one of these"... Sure beats fumbling through paper.

I have a lot of schematics/service manuals in PDF form on my tablet and have never had a problem with viewing them with Docs2Go. I will admit that usually I just read the relevant pages I need and don't ever read more than 20 or so, that may be why I don't have any issues. I'll try to flip through some of my thicker manuals and see if it starts to hang with me.

Common problematic PDFs are, for example, CPU Magazine or Maximum PC here:
http://www.computerpoweruser.com/DigitalIssues/ComputerPowerUser/CP____1202__/ Unfortunately, you have to load this display page first then click the download arrow on the left side.
http://dl.maximumpc.com/Archives/MPC_2011_11-web.pdf This is a direct link to the PDF.
Feel free to browse to those pages manually if you don't want to simply click on a link in a posting!
Either of those will start off good but, by page 20 or so, they really start to lag and make reading the second half of the magazine a chore.
I'll take a look at ezPDF and see how it does. Thanks for the suggestion.

I've pretty slick performance with Adobe Reader. Is your PDF non-standard?

I downloaded the Maximum PC pdf from your link.....Tested in lumiread, Officesuite,
PDF to Go and QuickOffice Pro....
Not seeing the lag your getting ....Ive went page by page and worst case --only takes maybe 2-3 seconds to load a full page ad on any of the readers. Tried it in both landscape and portrait using full screen and zoom...
If you haven't tried it....reboot your machine and test it again.
Another thought is if you have them stored on a sd card or usb stick that is faulty may be causing a problem.
Also I found that if I up the CPU to 1400MHz from the stock 1000MHz it does seem to speed load time for each page.
I'm on a stock 3.2.1 rooted rom with a custom kernel for over-clocking when needed.

Using ezPDF I scrolled/paged all the way through page 60 of Maximum PC with no real significant lag. Going through the full page images in the NAS reviews was the slowest, but that only meant it would take a full second to load the page, which I wouldn't call that lag as it would've likely taken longer if viewing the same on a web page.
I would try ezPDF, and if you still get lag then there's something wrong with your tablet. I'm currently running a rooted but otherwise stock HC 3.2.1 ROM. I did remove some bloat apps myself, but I'm running the stock kernel so it's not overclocked.

Ive been pdf reading on the iconia a500 for some time now, using lumiread, adobe and ezpdf and even the document reader for ICS and no lag here.
I'm thinking there is a rogue process slowing ur sys over time. Factory reset ur sys, run all the official updates (if ur rooted, used the rooted official updates not the custom ones)
Then install just your pdf apps and try reading, see what happens, if it runs lag free, start reinstalling your apps, with the most essential ones first and keep and eye open for performance degradation.

I just downloaded your trouble PDF but I had no difficulty at all. It have to agree that it is most likely a software issue. Are you rooted? If so you may want to do a dirty flash (install your ROM again without wiping data or cache). It may be a ROM bug too, but then the devs would likely have a lot of people submitting the same issue. However, if its an app conflict a dirty flash probably won't fix it.

RepliGo Reader is also great for PDF. It even let you full screen your PDF.

I've had no trouble at all with adobe PDF reader. It loads up my textbooks which are usually over 500 pages without any sort of problem.
I can scroll through them or search to find whatever I need and its always smooth.
I'm using the stock ota 3.2.1 w/out root.

I think you need to re-do your tab. Or think about what other apps you might have running in processes. Seems like you may have some memory hogs.

I purchased an original iPad for my son and an iPad2 for my daughter. Getting those two iCraps to do even half of what my A500 can do has been a ridiculous chore, and I'm a career network engineer.
Is the iPad smoother in some circumstances? Sure. But it better be -- it's at least 2x the price and it's not like you can change anything (mod, ROM, tweak, etc.) if you don't like the performance.
No thanks! I'll happily keep my A500.

Any tricks to faster PDFs on the Nook?

Hello,
I absolutely love my rooted Nook and it's been great as my first "tablet". But one thing that is quite frustrating is reading PDFs. I have several PDF magazines ranging in size from 11MB to 80MB. Simply turning a page can last for upwards of 10 seconds. Considering the number of ads in these things, it could be a full minute just to get to a page with real content.
Is there anything I can do to improve the performance like tweak the Nook or even convert the files into something friendlier while keeping the layout? I've set my idle speed at 600MHz but it's not really noticeable.
Any help would be appreciated.

What software are you using? I just downloaded a 34MB Consumer Reports PDF and flipped through it with ezPDF Reader. It flips pages quickly and smoothly. Never more an a second or two.

Man oh man. Me thinks I'm going insane! I should have specified I was using ezPDF, (v1.4.2.1). I since tried using the actual Adobe Reader and it's just night and day. When you are all using ezPDF, are you "turning" the pages or is it set to scroll down?

With me I am turning pages. If you aren't in a big hurry to flip thru a bunch of pages, it loads the next page while you are reading the page you are on. If you want to move through the document quickly, use the page icons on the bottom. Flipping too many pages at once slows it down.
And I am on ezPdf Pro version 1.6.0.0. 1.4.2.1 is pretty old. They said they improved performance with newer versions.
And night and day meaning which is better?

Hey All,
Sorry about that - meant night/day in the sense that Adobe is muuuuch faster. Even the option of using ezPDF's scroll icons takes forever to load. I realize that I'm referring more to "eMags" than PDF books, but the performance in this video is ideal and sort of sounds like it's what you are all experiencing:

Even 1.6.0.0 is old. I'm up to 1.9.4.0.
I think its faster if you turn off the page turn animation. I don't have a problem but mostly I'm looking at books, not magazines.

I could never get ezpdf to be even close to usable. I wanted the functions, but couldn't stand looking at that loading circle any longer.
If you want to try a somewhat out of the box suggestion, try Perfect Viewer with the pdf plug-in. It is primarily an image viewer, so if you want highlighting or whatever, it is not going to be for you.
But with the option to fit page to width in landscape, it is perfect for reading pdf books, I think. There are a bunch of different fit page options.
Full features are free, there is a donate version which is just for those who want to give.

I actually agree with you and I prefer using ezPDF. Everyone I've talked to so far says to get a better-performing SD card so I made a post about which SD card is the fastest here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29158973
I'm the same as you--I have a lot of large .pdf files, but there's a bigger problem almost nobody has mentioned on any forum and it exists in every version of ezPDF I've tried so far, including 1.9.5.0 and the latest which I'm using now, 1.9.5.3. The problem is when searching for a book, you can't read the text--only a picture of the cover (if you have one) comes up. Here's a screenshot directly from my Nook Tablet:
http://home.comcast.net/~nirvgorilla/nook ezpdf.png
There is nothing you can do about speed except find the fastest SD card and the speed has nothing to do apparently with Class 4 or Class 10. I don't know the real answer so I'm not going to spread misinformation, but if you find the best information, be sure to let us know because I definitely want better-performing pdfs even if it is a 32GB card.

I tryed every pdf/epub reader that is on the market, and im surprised no one here suggest repligo. For PDF reading, be it scanned pdf or normal but heavier (30mb+) pdf, it's the fastest and the one with better and best looking text reflow. ezPDF it's a lot worse.
Let's just say that repligo is the only one that read everything i throw at it, and even on my old little lgp500 i can read bulky pdf. On the nook it's perfect. Give it a go!

Adobe Reader
I have the same issue with ez pdf - loading the next page takes forrreeeeevvvveerrr. i found that adobe reader loads the entire pdf at once and you can scroll with no lag.

[Q] Any pdf viewer that shows 2 pages side by side in landscape

Looked online, some people mentioned EBookDroid, but it doesn't seem to work on N10 to show two pages from a pdf side by side in landscape. Can anybody get it working or any other pdf viewer. Thanks

I'm curious about this too. It would really help.

Ezpdf reader is what you need. 70p on play store
You need to select double page view in options.
It works but I think it needs optimization as it's a little laggy. I found sometimes the page turn stops working. Runs better on my s3.

Forget about ezpdf, lags like hell
I use adobe reader, it shows two pages in landscape if you want, and if you enable "force GPU render" in dev mode, it runs extremely smooth. Only one thing bad, it should have page transtitions with a great visual like Play Books, but as far as i've tested with ~30mb scanned pages pdfs, it runs extremely smooth (the only reader smooth i've found)

I use adobe reader, it shows two pages in landscape if you want, and if you enable "force GPU render" in dev mode, it runs extremely smooth. Only one thing bad, it should have page transtitions with a great visual like Play Books, but as far as i've tested with ~30mb scanned pages pdfs, it runs extremely smooth (the only reader smooth i've found)

How do you fix it to show two pages at once? I can only get it to show one page, the setup only allows me to choose if I want to scroll the pages horisontally or vertically.

Well, Straf insists on that Adobe Reader can do it, that's why I asked.
If the ezpdf aint working without lag, how will it react to my 4-500 pages pdf-files?
Well, it's worth a try.

The developer mode is probably the one in Android.
You need to go into settings, scroll down to About tablet, then click "Version" 7 times to unlock.

Thanks, that helped.
Is there a way to increase the amount of buffering?
I use large RPG-books and I need more than 2 pages preloaded to make things smooth.

Srry guys, i've rechecked and theres no dual page in adobe reader, i tested about 5 apps in a row and though i had found it in adobe one, but no it doesn't, my bad.
I'll try that option in ezpdf to check if performance is way better. In fact, the only application that worked properly was adobe reader, office suits were specially unresponsive. If any application would work as fluid as Play books... those page transitions are amazing

Moon reader does dual page landscape for pdfs.

The moon reader feels faster, but cost five times more.
Thanks for the tip.

eZpdf Reader has this feature.

Indeed EzPDFReader can do this, it's personally m fav PDF reader.
