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.

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.
I read online / netflix that they already updated the app to support jellybean but yet I'm on Toasted Marshmellow Jellybean rom and it doesn't work =( neither does HULU + work on this rom. anyone have a fix or know why??

I spent an hour or two a month ago trying to find out why Netflix doesn't work. What other folks were saying in various non-Glacier threads is that Netflix support depends on a specific type of HD graphics hardware support in the kernel. None of the kernels we have for the Glacier currently provide that support. Hopefully that will change when (if) a 3.0 kernel is successfully ported.
Kernel experts please jump in at anytime...
wrong forum...
Thats NOT what he meant buddy. If you have ever been in this forum, you would note that question threads go in the QUESTION forum. People get pissed if you get messed up so consider this your ONLY warning because others probably won't be so "kind". Next time, ask your question in the right forum and i promise it will be properly answered.
I love this forum. Also, how did the OP think this was developement of any sorts?

Seriously does anyone read anymore ,or do they just post and pray that somebody helps them.
After the aggravation of no flash support, multiple screen freezes, and the sometime slow buggy screen response. The screen is great for viewing though! I decided to just send it back. To be completely truthful I would not have bought it, when not supporting flash!! Reminds too much of Apple!! I hate when companies force me into, or in this case out of something I want just because they feel like it!! If they think it's a security risk, make it a user option! When you buy a router, do they force you to use encryption? No!! It's my tablet & I should be able to watch flash videos if I want!!
And before anyone starts saying, you can get around it by using firefox or dolphin browsers, you can't! At least not completely, they are buggy!
Just want to see if any others, traded it in so to speak!!

Same boat as you, i had it for a while then gave it back. I ended up sticking with my infinity.
Mmm... Flash is no longer supported mate all across the tablet/mobile world. Besides if your not willing to side load the flash apk then I suggest you go buy a laptop. Flash is buggy anyways but for me flash is nice on my N10. I Can watch my Hulu through the browser. If you want flash you got to do a little work to get it working. Just like any android tablet nowadays. The issues you stated can you be a bit more specific? I haven't had any problems on performance on this thing. Browsing is very quick. Just opening apps and loading my gmail is very fast compared to the Infinity I had. Even using ttorrent, I can actually download a 3gig HD movie without sacrificing performance. No laggyness at all compared to other previous tablets I've owned.

Question for OP, did you pay a restocking fee? When I swapped my 16gigger with 32 it was like a 15% fee!
Back on topic though, I guess I just was one of those users that got a bad tf700 and had a terrible experience. My N10 has been running superbly. The only reason I doubt my assumption is b/c I went through 3 tf201's before finally giving up and waiting on the tf700.

Flash works fine on the Nexus 10 and it is Adobe who dropped Flash, not so much Google. Adobe said they were dropping all mobile flash support.
Guess I was one of the lucky ones because my Nexus 10 is perfect. Better than the Xoom I had, the Transformer tf101 I bought my wife and the Galaxy Tab 10.1's I got my parents.
No issues at all....and working flash

I really don't understand how Flash Player is so important enough to justify a device purchase decision, especially since it's becoming obsolete... Might just be my browsing habits, but there are 2 sites total that I use that would be "somewhat" pointless without flash player. Just 2. And those 2 sites I could care less about on a tablet (one of the sites is YouTube; which has a standalone app on Android lol)
So in a few months when either all Android tablets are updated and no longer support flash, or your tablet that does, is completely outdated, you are just going to NOT own a tablet ..
At least that is what I get from your "reasons".
Honestly you don't have to justify returning the tablet, if you can't take change I suggest you move to the north pole or something where pretty much nothing changes.
These posts about "Why I don't like the N10" or "Why I am too lazy to sideload flash" or " X tablet is Better than Y tablet" are REALLY REALLY getting old ..
I am in these forums because I own said device, not because I want to talk about how I returned it, or how much I hate it ..
Should be a rule if you don't own the device and are not a developer, leave said forum.
@OP
It looks as though you don't have any clue what you are talking about. The nexus 10 definitely supports flash. You don't need anything but the flash.apk to use it on any browser. It is the users choice to use it or not. And please do a little research next time before you try and slander or put down a company (Google) for something that they have nothing to do with. It's Adobe that doesn't support flash on the mobile platform. Not Google. All you would've needed to do is take 11 seconds to sideload one app and you have flash. Either way. If you don't have this tablet, what does your opinion of it matter here in the Nexus 10 forums? It doesn't. Move along to the next device,complain about that one, and waste more space in another forum with your opinions.

While many of us xda users are capable enough to search and find solutions to Chrome's lack of flash, there is an app I used to keep handy when I encountered a site w/ flash. Its called Flashify : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nightshadelabs.anotherbrowser

I'm using Ocean browser and this apk worked fine for me.
Just use puffin browser whenever you need flash. It loads the content on remote servers then sends it back to you. It can even emulate a touch pad or a game controller for flash gaming.
It works on iOS too if you care about that.

I had an Infinity for two months before I got the N10. Each person's experience is different but my Infinity experience was laggy and frustrating. I found myself rebooting frequently trying to make it speedy. I disabled most of the Asus stuff, it just didn't "feel" like a great experience. I will say Asus is on top of updates and the bloatware is minimal by comparison to other non-Nexus tablets, of course.
The N10, for me, is just smooth. Living with the N10 is just better for me.
No one had an answer last time I asked, does anyone know now if there is a fix for flash/browser yet, so when I hit full screen it doesn't crash the browser? I tried all of them, they all do it

Developer huh?? Like I said flash is buggy on the nexus 10! I did side load the apk flash pack & it only works partially!! Go to any site that uses flowplayer to show flash, hit the full screen button & the 10's screen goes black & does a partial lock up!! The only way you can move off that screen now is hit the home button!! And its not the flowplayer program, because it works fine on my PC!! It will do the same thing on your 10 too, most likely!! Take your personal assumption & attack where it belongs, off a cliff!! My point was I don't like Google, Android, Adobe, or developers taking things away just because they feel like it!! Remember the software companies work for the public, not the other way around!!
If I knew flash would not work properly, as i stated before. I would not have bought it to begin with!! I believed the developers that there is a workaround, there's not!! At least not one that works 100%.

Here is a link to get flash working 100% you will need to unlock and root your device if you want it to work 100% Yes I'm sure that site you spend time on should work as well. It worked for me and I was able to watch Hulu. I would test it out for you but I just unrooted to exchange my N10.

I believe I will be charged the 15% restocking fee, credit not issued yet. Apple customer service is way better in that regard. I think in the future, I will wait to see the device in a retail store first, save time & trouble on both ends!

So then... what mobile platform are you going to buy in a year or two? Plus, it's the mobile Flash player that's causing the problems. That's purely Adobe's fault for dropping it.
I can tell that your "multiple screen freezes, and the sometime slow buggy screen response" are from fullscreening Flowplayer and being unable to get out. You make it sound like a generalization throughout the whole device.
Anyway, were you talking about this?

Thanks for the helpful response, unlike some other members that tell me I can't believe my own eyes!! Mine is heading back already but this may help others with the same problem!! Personally, I like flash & wish it would stick around. I take offense when others tell me what I can & can't have, especially when I'm paying them & they're not paying me!!
I'm not sure if this is a common issue in all Android phones, but searching on Google kept providing me with code to implement on a website to adjust to different mobile phone screen sizes...
I may be posting in the wrong section so forgive me in advance, but whenever I browse forums and such different posts have different size fonts. Some come out fine and are readable. Others I have to zoom in a bunch and then zoom out proceeding to the next post. Is there a fix/tweak/setting to correct this issue? I believe it does not occur in the stock Internet app from Samsung, but I rather use Chrome. I also don't think it is people changing their font size when posting.
I'll try to attach screen shot of it to help go along with my concern.
Thanks in advance.
This is a bug in Chrome for Android versions greater than 18. And, this is the only reason I can't switch to this browser as the default.
It sure is annoying.
Here is the tracked bug:
I can't post links, but search Google for " chromium 135947"
They say it will be fixed in milestone 29.

Thanks for the reply I guess I'll just have to wait for the update. Any suggestions for a decent browser? I wasn't thinking that the Samsung one would be that great... but it doesn't have this font boosting issue either. ..

It's called Font Boosting.
I wish they'd just give an option to turn it off. Even if it was working perfectly as intended it would irritate me to have text so much larger than other elements of the page. I'm more than capable of pinch-zooming if I have a hard time reading some text.

I agree. Pretty annoying. And I like to use browsers to view forums and such, not another app. Perfectly capable of zooming in add well. I guess it is just a waiting game for the update. Funny how other browsers got it right but Google is behind on this one.

Who cares what google search comes back with? Guessing/speculation/your mom talking about cats. The reason I posted here is because people who tend to know what they're doing come to xda for news/know-how.
Is the missing launcher really a bi-product of optimization and the always listening feature? Or is the GEL launcher going to be available on the store? Maybe you don't know but that doesn't mean that a developer or somebody else doesn't know.

Yeah. God forbid you should do a little research on your own. That's why everyone comes here, to spoon feed you information so you don't have to look it up yourself.
BTW: It was bing search. I thought it was quite witty to use bing to search for information about Google. I guess I'm not as funny as I thought I was.

Despite the reputation that xda has for people who know what they're talking about there's still you. Research would imply that there is information elsewhere that:
A. I care about.
B. exists.
4.4 for Nexus 7 2013 is a few hours old. I already said I don't care about speculation. Stop being an ass. The first thing I did was google this and when nothing was found I started a post. Did you do any research before you posted that link? Read the first four pages of results. Read the first 100 pages of results. There's no links to statements from google or any developer anywhere that has looked into anything. Instead there's a bunch of people who all regurgitate information, whether cited or not from The Verge, who also don't cite a source. They just say vaguely that Google told them. Right... because Google talks to The Verge and The Verge exclusively.
Let me change the question for you. Don't answer it. It's clear you're just a moron. This is for somebody else.
Is there really a hardware reason to exclude the Google Experience Launcher? Does anybody know if GEL really uses anything from the 800 or is Google just running a trial on the N5 users?
In addition, has anybody seen whether or not somebody has tried to take the apk from a Nexus 5 and run it on a Nexus 7?

Despite the reputation that xda has for people who know what they're talking about there's still you. Research would imply that there is information elsewhere that:
A. I care about.
B. exists.
4.4 for Nexus 7 2013 is a few hours old. I already said I don't care about speculation. Stop being an ass. The first thing I did was google this and when nothing was found I started a post. Did you do any research before you posted that link? Read the first four pages of results. Read the first 100 pages of results. There's no links to statements from google or any developer anywhere that has looked into anything.

Your Google Fu sucks. You obviously don't know how to use a search engine. I may be a moron but I'm smarter then you. So there's that.

So you're a moron and a liar? There's no statement from Google about it or you would have posted it. There's no information about whether or not the speculated functionality of the snapdragon 800 is really required for GEL's always listening either. You didn't find anything in Google (or Bing. I thought you were just being stupid).
If you found anything... anything at all, post it. I will take even your information gladly.

Those first builds of 4.4 that came around when the Nexus 5 was launched actually had the whole GEL. the only problem was the keyboard would pop up when you went back to the homescreen, but other than that, it was working fine, so the only reason I can see as to why they would have left it out of the tablet would be to give the Nexus 5 some more bullet points on its feature list than other products out there.

Interesting. So... chances are we'll have a unofficial version floating around in no-time. Did you have any hands on with those first builds? Did the always on functionality seem to impact battery life adversely? Thanks in advance!

Where is it for Nexus 7 2013? Will it be in the factory build? Is it going to be available for download separately from the store?
I find it odd that with all of the push to eliminate fragmentation it's not included.

I find it very troubling too. Especially when we didn't get the new look either. Nothing a little Nova Beta can't fix!

I didn't take any time to tear into the build and tinker with it, but if there was any battery impact, it was too small to notice. I was still getting days of use. Even though the keyboard thing wasn't fixed in that build, maybe now that official builds are out and about, it can be fixed and sideloaded. I mean, all it was was a install of Google Play Services, the Launcher and the latest Google Search. Hopefully it won't be too hard to package those up and have them working soon.

There's already unofficial builds running around. I'm running it on my N7 with 4.4 right now. Still has the keyboard bug though.
All I had to do was install the launcher APK from Android Police and boom, GEL.

Thank you for the information. Sounds like I should wait a few days and check back in.

As far as aesthetics go, no, changing the color of the notification bar text and icons wasn't enough. At all. Considering we didn't get the transparent notification bar or the new app drawer icon. I'm getting my fix of those two with Nova Beta though. Gets me all of those things, plus it's pretty stable.

Yeah I was more being sarcastic. Even though I was more looking forward to just having a bit more stability in everything I use the tablet for, I can't say I wasn't a little bit disappointed not having a very obvious "New Update Day!" feature to have fun with. And if Action Launcher wasn't the most overpowered launcher out there, I might use Nova. I just can't get over that Quick Panel. its too useful
