Every now and then, when I browse websites, clicking on links yields no response. I then have to exit the browser completely and start afresh. This happens with all the browsers I have tried. The screen itself is still responsive (eg. I can pinch in and out). Does anyone else experience this? And have you found a fix?

By no response, do you mean that tapping the link doesn't even highlight it before doing nothing? I've noticed that sometimes with Dolphin, when I tap on a link, it will briefly highlight before not doing anything, but I can usually long press on the link and choose to open it.
Yes, that's right, the link fails to highlight and there is no action...
Long pressing doesn't help.

Check your screen sensors, I don't have any link tapping issues.
I'm experiencing this too, only in the stock browser (only browser I want to use due to Flash but being forced to use Chrome now). Screen is definitely fine, the page just won't respond and will eventually come up with a force close message saying the page is unresponsive. Any idea on how to get around this would be hugely appreciated

Does anyone else's browser force shut while trying to load random sites and close all your tabs? Mine happens quite frequently and has become rather annoying. Also for some rreason it forgot my pw an usernsme for xda and now it don't ask to save, anyone know how to reinitiate that prompt?
Mine occasionally closes as well. Also, my keyboard entry seems to lag like crazy!
WTF?
Trust me the lag on xda app isn't near as bad as it is on xoomforums.com. hoping a simple software update will fix this.

Thats a good point. I have experienced the odd crash of the browser and frankly the ONLY site I have issues browsing is this site (xda). When the site loads the performance of the browser drops off considerably. If I have additional tabs open (to other sites) the browser will fall over. I wonder what it is about this site (especially scrolling the main page) chokes the browser so much. Again, any other site or combo of sites that I normally troll all work fine, fast, stable.

Try and use a different browser. I'm using firefox and I'm not having any issues at all. To reinitiate setting for browser go to settings applications browser clear cache and set to defaults will get it.

I love mozilla anyway
my browser closes all the ttime. Seems to have picked up lately as well. Almost every time I switch tasks the browser crashes and loses all my open tabs
At first, this wasn't really a problem...over that past day or so, it's crashed several time. Last night I was purposely opening up 3-4 normal tabs (cnn, google, facebook, hopstop). It crashed at least 10 times in about 20-25 mins.
This is getting very annoying. I know can use another browser, but come on, I should be able to use the stock browser.
bump. anyone else have this issue? my browser has crashed on me about 10 times today...and of course had to crash as i was demonstrating the device to some apple fanboys and talking about how much cooler it is
I've had maybe one or two crashes since I've had it, but none in the last two days.
i am having some issues with pages not loading properly and where pdf / imagr download that the page does not a sign the file extension to do not load where they did on I pad. I am confident google will fix soon tho.
ever since i rooted my NS, my screen is basically retarded. i get phantom input constantly. it isn't localized to one app either, it happens in Gmail, calculator, Miren, texting, etc. it is BEYOND annoying. is anyone else seeing this??
example: when calculating, in portrait mode, i press 8 and it selects 0 as if i am touching 0. WTF.

Do a hard reset and go back to the beginning and check if the root is the main cause, or even just unroot and see if it happens after that... You need to gather some more data to be able to troubleshoot the problem or we will just be speculating

It seemed worse after rooting, but that was only three hours after getting the phone. I just saw someone else posted about the same issue in Q&A. Great.
Am I the only one who can't get the XDA forums to show and function correctly in the Xooms native browser?
There is overlapping text (the "Rate this Thread" text), and the search function can't be used (when I tap the dropdown for seaching the forum, the drop down pops down, but if i tap the text area and start typing, the text ends up in the address bar for the browser).
I tried the XDA app, and it just force closes every time I try to go into a thread.
Ideas?
The XDA Premium app works perfectly on HC 3.1

I prefer browsing XDA from the browser. I switched it to XDA Classic because I would get extreme lag when typing on a thread.
I have no lag when I switched to classic. Try that and see if it helps. You can scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and you have the option to switch to XDA Classic. It's not eye candy but it will do the trick.
You're right that did help the keyboard lag haha
Cool. Glad it worked.
To the OP I didn't realize you were using the Classic XDA page. Sometimes you get the overlapping of words but it doesn't happen a lot. I would try browsing through an alternate browser like Dolphin and see if that helps.
Another thing I found weird is that I can't upload attachments in XDA anymore. I'm assuming it's because I switched to classic XDA.
Actually I wasn't using the XDA Classic page. It was the new one. I just tried switching it and it is formatted much better, but the search still doesn't work right. You tap the "Search this Thread" button and it pops open the text box, but tapping the text box brings up the keyboard and closes the text box - placing your typed input into the address bar.
I just downloaded Dolphin HD. Will give that a shot.
Thanks
Unfortunately, Dolphin HD has the same issues. It doesn't render the page well in the non-classic mode, and I can't get the search function to work in either mode (same issue as the standard browser).
Thaks,

dolphin HD and the default browser use the same rendering engine. Unless you use Opera or the FF beta I would not expect a difference in behavior. Ad block or turning off javascript may help. The forums are great but some of the JS on here is questionable at best, particularly around ads....
I just tried the default forum with JS off and it was very snappy. It breaks some of the dropdowns but what does work is fast.
Weird problem I haven't experienced on any other Android device I've owned. When I choose to install an app from the market on my Tab, about 50% of the time it will register my selection to install, but it never actually starts to download or install. Usually on the second attempt it will work, but sometimes I do need to try 4 and very rarely 5 times.
Anybody else see this?
Seeing that here as well.

Same here. Had the same problem on my Xoom. I think its a honeycomb issue.
Disable wifi, then immediately re-enable. Download will usually start right away.
Killing Market and trying again has been working for me. Getting tedious though.

Same here. Terribly annoying, and I think I've seen this before on Gingerbread as well.
+1 also having the same issue. I just use back and then try to reinstall, 9/10 it will catch the 2nd try and install. Annoying but minor quirk.
Seen the same issue on SGS2 gingerbread.

I had this issue on my Transformer aswell. It should be HC-Related
Its a hc issue. If you notice...every time that happens the app permission screen does not pop up. That's why the download doesn't start. Backing out and trying again generally works.

I have the same issue. Also, sometimes the download will go through, but during the download the progress will suddenly disappear from the "my apps" tab in the market, but will continue showing progress in the notification bar. When the download "finishes" on the notification bar, nothing happens.
Would happen on mine also.. sometimes it even opened up a random app which was really wierd..
When I'm on the main g2 q&a forum the page constantly refreshes every few seconds. I can't even look at the page unless I hit the stop button in the browser. This happens on both chrome and Firefox. Doesn't seem to happen on any other Web pages or or forums. Any idea why?
Have you done any xpose mods? I think I had the same issue, energy back to stock, haven't seen it since then.

I had the same issue, being it's XDA's site as it only happens in this site. I am rooted so I installed the AOSP browser from the Play Store and it works great.
I had the same trouble on my Note 2. You can fix it by changing the dropdown in the lower left to XDA 2010, the default is XDA 2013 Beta.
Thanks! The 2010 thing fixed it! I was wondering if there was some issue with my browser or phone! Q
