Samsung Internet browser issues - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I own a Galaxy S7 edge and a Galaxy Tab S2 and there's no doubt that's it's the fastest browser available for Galaxy devices but and I'm having the same issue with both. Basically, often when i type in a query in the search bar nothing happens, nothing is rendered and until I close the tab, open another one and type my query againi cannot search for anything.
It's not a data issue and it I've seen this on both of my S7s, my wife's and my Tab.
Has anybody else experienced this? Any solutions or what's the cause of it??
Thank you in advance

Try the basic first if you have not already, Clear browser Cache etc.
Close down the browser from Background processes
Then try and re-use and see if the same behaviour is present.

Wow man, that literally happened to me 2 seconds ago. I've had this problem from the Note 5 and now it's here on the S7e and I don't know what to do about it.
Clearing cache and stuff doesn't help, the only work around is as you said, close the tab and open another.

Yeah clearing cache or data doesn't help, but thanks for the suggestion.

Gallery lag

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this, every time I go open gallery I wait a good 5-8 secs for it to open. It's driving me bonkers

I've seen multiple reports on this issue. I think the best you can do is wait for an update

Try using a better micro sd card? I'm using class 10 on my I9505 and loads perfectly fine.
I'm pretty sure mine is a good one I'll check.it's that ad card that's red and grey

Here's what happens to me with Gallery lag on my N2 and Note 10.1. When I'm connected to my home Wi-Fi network I get equal Gallery lag on both devices occasionally but it's never consistent. I just tried it on my N2 connected to my home network and today it's fine. If I'm on a non-home Wi-Fi network I don't get any lag and it also doesn't happen on HSPA. My theory is that because my home network has a ton of media across multiple PCs and a server the lag is the Gallery trying to pull all the content in and index it. The Gallery may also identify the most connected network as "home" and treat it differently from an indexing perspective. There could also be an update timer that periodically re-indexes all the content on the network which would explain why it's not consistent. Just my guess; YMMV.

Does it happen to you all the time or occasionally? It has something to do with indexing and the Gallery because it's not unique to the SGS4 and reported on all the Samsung forums. I've never had it happen off my home network but that doesn't mean it couldn't.
No not all the time, it's like every third time I open it then it is slow to open, just real frustrating.

It might be better if everyone used a separate gallery app such as quick pic, its very good and fast!
Wow and lol totally forgot all about quick pic, thank you that will keep me happy till Samsung gets there crap together.

Zero lag on mine, and I'm only using a hokey class 4 32GB external microSD...
I miss SONY Xperia Z's gallery, it works just perfectly.

[Q] Bugs found on Note 3

Bugs have been found on the GALAXY NOTE 3 LTE SM-N9005 with firmware of N9005XXUBMI7, anyone have the following 3 issues?
1. Writing in message with S-Pen will not convert the text to words. (Stop working after 30 Sept)
2. Scrapbooker unable to capture the YouTube video link instead it capture an image. (Stop working after Youtube Update)
3. Reading Mode doesn't dim the screen to a warmer (slight orange) tone just like the GALAXY Note 8 after adding the application into the enabled list.
Reading mode: Select which applications will use reading mode. In reading mode, the device will dim the display which helps protect your eyes when reading at night.
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA0D25W_5Wc (source from Youtube)
Update: Samsung said that a new software update will be released soon to rectify issue 1 and 2, no news on issue 3.
I thought you found insects in the screen or something.
How you know is confirm there is a new update?? is here any link or something?

I'd also like to know where Samsung has publicized a bug-fix update, if you could post a link.
Also, would an update of this kind still have to be validated by carriers in the US (possibly months of waiting), or would it be direct to the users?
Fixed!

If found two bugs on two devices. I replaced one to find the new one had the same issues!!!
1. Screen brightness changes regardless if the user has ALL the settings turned off. I think it has something to do with the heat of the screen?
2. When recording video in low light conditions and connected to WIFI occasional purple lines will appear horizontally on the screen every now and then
I have now taken my second Note 3 back and refunded all together. I will think about buying another when these are fixed. TBH i can live with the camera issue but the screen brightness problem i cannot ignore!
I have a bug with my Note 3 with the "WatchON" app.
It keeps crashing on load, just black screen then it says "Unfortunately Samsung WatchON has stopped working"
It worked the first time I loaded it when I first got my phone bot not anymore.
Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

ive had 3 .. note 3's. att. None of them had that issue.may want to disable app and clear cache\data under app management
Each phone has used it on 2 tv's and cable box's and a samsung dongle.
I tried and it didn't work.
Maybe I should take it back to the Samsung store and ask them for a fresh new phone instead of this defective crap since I have warranty.

Actually I got it working now, had to uninstall delete and re-install.
This App is complete crap, it doesn't let you exit without forcing it to shut down.

I'm on my 2nd note 3 and the first one didn't have this issue. The replacement I got has been having this issue since day 1. The only solution I've found is to turn Watch On off in the application manager. I'm hoping this is just a software bug and not a problem with the phone itself. It's strange how I didn't have this problem with the first note 3 so I'm kinda scratching my head on this one.

That's what I figured. Waiting till my first 14 days are up before I root. Turning the app off is a good enough fix till then.

Turning it off fixed it for me also. You would think all of this bloatware would be well tested before the phones release. I am wondering if the app updated and the new update caused the problem. I am planning on downloading a new IR Remote App anyway. On Verizon

episodes of screen unresponsiveness after updating to kitkat

Hi everyone
So I update my N9005 to the official polish kitkat firmware and I've been experiencing episodes of screen unresponsiveness very often. Anybody else has this problem? Anybody managed to fix it?
P.S I'm aware of the counterfeit/unoriginal s-view flip covers issue which I'm having as well but the thread isn't about it.
Hope someone has a solution.

Hello, I have been experiencing moments of "freezing" or unresponsiveness as well.
For me, it seemed to be due to chrome or using power saving mode. (People in another forum were blaming their droid maxxs freezing problem on chrome) I disabled chrome and disabled power saving mode.
Then I started using opera. I experienced another moment of unresponsiveness using opera without the power saving mode.
I was thinking back to the first times that it happened and it seemed to be paired to the wifi download and upload symbol being active in upload and download activity.
I know that correlation does not mean causation, but I think it is worth exploring if the network activity is causing it to somehow hang.
This bizzar occurance made me perform a factory wipe leading to another round of issues involving processing err_0000, but that is another story; sadly, it didn't even fix the issue.
OP, are you still experiencing the moments of unresponsiveness? If you are, have you noticed the events that are correlated with the event?
Has anybody else experienced this or found a remedy?
It could be one of the apps from the play store that is not playing nice with kitkat, but due to the multitude of other issues, I'd say it is a kitkat or touchwiz flaw.
Thanks for any help.

I had an issue with screen not responding sometimes .....I figured out it was due to the flip case (original by Samsung). Although lately I haven't experienced that either.
Try using the original non flip case and see if you still have the issue.

I have never had a s-view flip case on mine. I use holster iblason case that has no interaction with the screen.
This only started for me once I upgraded to kitkat.

I just cleared the cache, factory wiped, and installed the Russian update N900XXUDNC4 and so far, the phone is a lot smoother. No hangups in the browser yet, but time will tell lol.
It is annoying setting up the phone like new lol. I'll update the post as to if I have moments of freezing or the screen becoming unresponsive.

Battery life is looking good. Power Saving off, bluetooth on and connected to my smart watch.
I made one short call. I don't talk on the phone that much. I mostly use it for Internet browsing, music, and instant messaging/texting. I'll update on Tuesday when I have a full day at school.
Keep in mind though that the n9005 is the lte version. I have a n900, the non lte international variant; our battery life may be different.
Edit: 4/20/2014 same charge 70% 1 day 6 hours bluetooth, wifi, gps, and 1 Gmail account in sync.

Even I experienced the same. My phone came with Kitkat installed. Freezing happens when a webpage is loading or the time i turn on Sync etc. strange thing is phone seems smooter when power save mode turned on.
I think it may be a problem that was not fixed until the March 31st 2014 KitKat build. I have been using Chrome heavily since I installed the most recent official rom; I have not experienced any lag or hanging system wide or in the browser. It reminds me of 4.3.
When I wiped and reinstalled the previous rom, I noticed the lag and unresponsiveness right away.
I'm going to use the browser heavily next week. If I have no issues, I think it may be safe to say that the bug was fixed in the latest kitkat with March 31st 2014 build date.
People with lag, do you have the lte variant or the regular SM-N900? I'm starting to think only the SM-N900 are being impacted by sour Sammy updates.
And if you guys wipe your phones, make sure to turn reactivation lock off because it could cause an error that will not recognize your real Sammy account and password. This phone has become stressful; I'm not updating it again lol

Keyboard lags

Hello. I have been using the At&t Samsung galaxy s5 for about a month and a week now, and I've been noticing constantly that my keyboard lags sometimes as I'm texting and feels very slow. I am using the latest swiftkey and I really like swiftkey because of the predictions. I was wondering if others have the same problem and how I might be able to get rid of the lag. Thanks!
Mine too. Anyone got an idea on this? Maybe it's SwiftKey, I use that too. Might be a comnbibaon with too many messages stored in inbox?

Have you tried a simple app cache wipe? If not, try that first then clear the app data completely.

I am having the exact same problem - it works once and then never again. When I start the app, is is gray for some seconds (nothing on screen) and then it crashed. I reset the watch, uninstalled and reinstalled the galaxy watch apps and services. It works when pairing 1st time and then never again.
Gear S3, Galaxy S10+, nothing special, Stock, unrooted etc..
