Hello,
I create this thread because I've got only one problem with my Archos 101IT (ver 2.1.4 w/o ulruk v0.5): it's very slow for web surfing from times to times... Compared with my PC, connected with wifi at the same access point, opening web pages (like xda) is sometimes very very slow on my Archos (on my PC, it's fast at the same moment)... Annoying for an IT tablet!
For me, all is good on this tablet, root access, music listening, mail, .... But not for web surfing.
I tried different web browser (NetFront, Dolphin, Skyfire) but no real difference.
Si I don't know if my problem is a config problem, a browser problem or the wifi card is less powerfull...
Thank you for your opinion.
It's a great problem with URUK.
I dismissed it for the same problem.
I instead use standard stock and chulry sysroot kernel for developer edition.
With stock firmware web surfing is as smooth as from pc...
I don't know if the problem with uruk is due to a slow sdcard, or a change in the wifi firmware configuration ...
Thanks. I think that, for me, it's the same with Uruk and with stock ROM... It's when the Internet link seems bad that Archos surfing slows a lot..
I posted about this issue in Which Web Browser thread.
See quote below. It certainly works for me. Maybe it will work for you.

I was finding the browser was extremely slow in rendering pages. Everything else was nice and responsive. Even the browser itself was quite responsive. It was almost as if my broadband was slow, but it's definitely not (30MB down / 3MB up) and it works fine with all my other devices.
I tried loads of different browsers (Miren, Dolphin HD / mini, stock, fennec) and they were all doing the same thing. It was bugging the hell outta me. Tried Opera then, and I have to say rendering was about 20 times quicker. The layout of the browser isn't great and the text is quite large with no option to zoom out (at least, not very far) cos it's not really built for a tablet. But the actual speed of the browser just feels so much better.

If you have the market installed you should be able to see it there, otherwise you can download it from here.
I am currently using Opera Mini 5.1. Tried Opera Mobile last night but all I get is a black screen.
Thanks: i'm going to try in details, because I've already have Opera mini 5.1, but I think it presents the same slowdown...
But as I see that only few people have this problem, maybe it's also my config...
Yes, web browsing seems a bit slow on my A101 compared to my desktop system. This is how it should be. My desktop system is an i7-970 at 3.2GHz with 12 virtual cores, 6 GB of RAM and a very decent nVidia video card. If my desktop didn't run rings around this puny tablet PC, I'd be shocked. If you think about it, these modern tablets like the A101 are somewhat hardware performance equivalent to desktop PCs from many years ago - single core 1GHz and 256 KB of RAM. If you had that on your desk, you'd think the A101 was fast.
Bye.

I've had my DX2 (rooted) for about a week now. Since rooting, I've gotten improvements in many of the oft-mentioned areas except for web browsing. Seems when I launch the default browser, it is slow to load the homepage (Google Search). If typing in a url, it seems equally as slow to resolve to the target page. Is anyone else experiencing these issues and is replacing the browser the eventual solve? I haven't yet tried FF or Dolphin, but would be willing to do so if that will speed things up. Or if there are other tweaks/tunes that will help, I'm open to trying them as well. Thanks so much in advance!
The stock browser for me was really laggy. I always use Dolphin HD, especially since it is the main browser I use on my Asus TF..Try it, or even Miren Browser, it's kinda fast too.
I don't like Firefox on my phone (or my laptop that much). It is always laggy and freezes on me.

Thanks, I will give that a try this evening and report back on the results!
just like title says. make sure to update your opera mobile. great changelog and flash support for android 4.03 is back. Seems like the fastest browser around is back with full functionality again. flash video n movies working great on it.
I tried to love chrome, but opera right now is better for me. Smoother and it supports scrolling with the mouse.

its worth the revisit. still haven't used a browser faster than this. now that flash is working really well on it, this will become the fav. again. getting tired of stock or ICS+ browser FC. I have boat also. its a nice browser, ill admit.
Opera Next (beta) is not bad either
Had a look on the Opera site. Saw you could download Opera Next (beta).
I must say real smooth and not bad.
Will give it a try for a while
what is Opera Next beta? what are new features or difference from opera mobile on android? I might check it out.
edit: seems like its just a new opera mini. opera mini usually doesn't have flash support. I saw opera mini next. is that the one you talking about?

yes you're completely right
No flash

But smooth browsing
Really fast and good to get flash support.
And I think Opera Mobile is the only browser that you can use the little search button on XDA.
On other browsers the search box disappear when you try to enter text.. In Opera the search box works like on the computer.

yeah, opera mobile always yells the fastest sunspider results. you see the screen flashing so fast on opera. on any other browser the test seems to take its time. plus I've gotten even faster time than you showed on opera before.
I had many freezes with the stock browser, I installed opera mobile and freezes no longer occur, this browser is very fast and fluid, is my favorite.
opera mobile needs the hardware acceleration and smoothness of opera mini next currently has. Opera mobile's scrolling is way too choppy in framerate.
digressing a little from the main topic... does Opera have adblock extension support for android?
not sure exactly what you mean. if you mean within the browser itself, not sure. haven't seen anything like that. But if rooted, you could just use AdAway and it'll block all ads period. works very well and speeds up browsers even more because it not loading flash ads.
Sorry, yeah, I meant extension for the browser itself. I tried AdAway, it works, but as soon as I add more hosts file (totalling roughly 8megs of hosts file), the app crashed with out of memory error (which surprised me because it works on my samsung galaxy s phone running CM7). So currently I am manually copying the hosts file from my linux to ATP's /system/etc; with just minor alterations to make - a little of a hassle.
Thanks for reply.
Op are you sure this update on Opera Mobile gives us flash.I looked at it last night but the update said nothing about flash.It did say something about having better support for the Samsung 7.7 or something.Another thing what is up with all the new permissions Opera wants now (being able to take video & pictures of what's on your phone)..they're getting a lot of complaints about it too.I love Opera but what gives?
Yes Opera Mobile 12 have working flash on ICS 4.0 DEVICE.
Maybe Iam late to the party but with Opera i can run a video in the browser and the open a second window and i continue to hear the audio from the video playing on the first window.

Opera mobile freezing after update
I have been lucky enough to have no problems until now with my Prime or the apps on it.
Unfortunately this update has made my Opera Mobile unusable. Within three minutes it freezes, usually after I've clicked on a link.
I've restarted the tablet to no avail. Will uninstall and reinstall Opera now.
Update: After reinstall the freezes continue, this time even sooner. Anyway, this problem along with their new permissions makes it an easy choice for me. I'm looking for something to replace it. Currently using Dolphin HD but keeping my options open.

don't really see how. its very stable and hasn't froze or rebooted on me once since update. alot better than stock or ICS+ browser. plus I'm on .15. nothing wrong with Dolphin HD if it works for you. that's what's great about choice of browsers to use. Opera still the fastest n most stable around. now with flash support back n better, this my main browser again.
So I lost root with the latest version, as did many people.
And now I hate browsing on this device, 90% of the time I get browser lag with the force close warning. When rooted with the ad blocker everything was so smooth. All the javascripts from the ads slow down the browser, is this the case with ipad too?
Damn I need my root access back.
I never understood why people kept complaining about the slow browser. Now I do.

I will not answer the iPad queston because then I'm a fanboy. Anyway, did you try a different browser like Chrome or Dolphin Browser HD? These are much faster then the default in my experience, Chrome doens't support flash (as far as I know), Dolphin does.
Go in browser setting, advance, uncheck javascript and put plug-ins on demand, close browser including in last use app then go back in. Should improve browsing

Dolphin doesn't always show tabs, it hides them when you scroll down. Current Chrome version is too featureless for normal use

Man this crap is getting freaking old!
Why the hell do I have to go into settings, turn this off, enable on demand, etc etc....
This tablet was touted with a quad core chip running 1.4 MHz on performance mode, yada yada...why the hell can't it handle a heavy web page! Wtf!!
My 2 year old HTC Evo....rooted running cm7....is smoother. I can screw up and hit page back, and hit menu then click a bookmark flawlessly ...
But the OP does bring up a great point. I have adfree on my phone and I guess I haven't realized that it makes that much of a difference.
Don't know, maybe its just me, but why do you have to go thru all sorts of settings just to get a smooth internet experience?
Sorry for the rant, I still love the little beast. Just get the browser straight and I might not be scared to recommended the Prime to others....
Using ICS+ browser with adblock, flash and java script enabled all the time and everthing is butter smooth here
This is actually the best browsing experience ever. Especially with the keyboard dock and the addition of the Overskreen floating browser i prefer it to my desktop most of the time! I dont even start it up anymore unless i need it for my music progs or gaming. Its just PEWPEW!
Also in iCS+ you can set back and forward to screen swipes and that also works with the touchpad. Its so cool to just swipe around and control everything that way toghether with the keyboard shortcuts.
yeah adblocker or ad free makes a world of difference. you could also enable the force gpu rendering in developer options in settings to speed things up.
ill answer the other question since Joey didn't..lol. Ipad browsing is decent but not nearly as good as its made out to be. plus Ipad doesn't even support flash so its not loading up the ads. its as if it runs browser with adblocker on. stock safari browser sux. you can get a good 3rd. party one like Icab or Atomic browser on Ipad and do well. but really all 3rd party Ipad browsers aren't true 3rd party ones. 99% of them are based off of Safari or have sacrifice engine as the core of it. but my prime is way faster and smoother than my Ipad. as far as web browsing and scrolling lag free. my Ipad can't even touch my prime no matter what its doing.
I have my prime on 1Ghz top speed and using opera Mobile. the web pages still load near instant and experiencing no lag at all scrolling. I am rooted and have adfree on. plus I forced gpu rendering. I'm truly amazed how well this tablet performs even having 1Ghz as my top speed. can't even tell the difference hardly cuz everything so fast and fluid.

Leave java on then guarantee most of the lag is from waiting for all the flash to load set to on demand you can still view them just hit the down arrow of the vid you want to view. Far from broken web Haven't seen the wait window since I changed my setting and I always run on performance
yeah i made a thread about losing root and how much it sucks not having adfree yeseterday. it SUCKS. the thing is i doubt there is the urgency to find a new root method there was at the beginning either because so many have root still.
is there even away to gain root access if i unlock? i don't even think there is a stock rooted .21 custom rom out to load anyways and from what i've read all the other custom roms don't play well with the keyboard.

All broken without javascript.
javascript has been an intricate part of the web since the Netscape Navigator browser, practically every browser since Netscape have relied on javascript, not to be confused with Sun/Oracle Java . Turning off javascript in a browser would be like turning image viewing, you're going to end up with a crappy web browsing experience.
Google and ASUS not being able to address this is a shame.
With the last update... Asus finally fixed the Screen tearing and flickering that made the Prime look like an amateur programmed it. I'm annoyed that the browser lag is still there under normal use if I keep javascript on. Like others have said, an end user should not have to disable and tweak a bunch of stuff just to get decent performance. Constantly turning javascript on and off depending on the site is pretty annoying and does not make for an enjoyable browsing experience. It also doesn't seem to help the PULSE news app at all.
While I love my Prime, it's pretty sad to see my HP Touchpad absolutely destroying it when comparing the two at web browsing. The Touchpad on an alpha release of CM9 seriously blows the Prime away on the stock browser... Never had a wait message pop up while surfing even heavy pages...it just works. I can't even scroll right away on the Prime while the page is loading. I have to either wait for some elements to load or for the dreaded Wait/Ok to pop up. On my Touchpad or ipad 2..this issue is nonexistent.
I hope that this is the next priority on Asus list. User experience is an important thing...and a laggy browser and screen tearing should never have made it past quality control.
Now, I don't want to be all negative, so I will say that one of my test sites always runs best on the Prime stock browser, and that is:
http://www.pirateslovedaisies.com/
This site won't even finish loading on an ipad 2 (don't know about the 3) and runs slower on the Touchpad with CM9 (and not at all on Web OS) so at least we know the Prime is decent with complex HTML5 in some cases.

Hey, I'll take a little credit for the Touchpad running well despite inferior hardware. =P
I've been meaning to get CM9 on my Transformer Prime to see how the browser performs there. One thing to note is that I disable the gpu upload path on the Touchpad due to an Adreno driver bug. I'm curious to see if that has any affect on the performance on Transformer Prime. If you'd like to try it for yourself then go to about:debug in the browser. Then go to settings->debug and check Enable CPU Upload Path. This is only a temporary switch and will go away when you close the browser but worth testing as a shot in the dark.
I do generally agree that the stock browser performs better on the Touchpad with its dual core running at 1.2ghz. Tegra 3's cortex-a9 should be about 10-20% faster than the Snapdragon CPU in the Touchpad clock for clock.
So how does browsing on the current version of CM9 preform, anyone who's installed please give your impressions.
Or any other custom roms any better?

Awesome job on the Touchpad port. It's absolutely amazing as a tech enthusiast to be able to witness the amazing work done by people like yourself.
I went ahead and tried your solution and it's a vast improvement on the stock browser. I've only seen the wait/cancel pop up once and that was stress testing it with 6 tabs open on heavy sites. It has not done it again and it's been about 2 hours playing around with the TFP. What exactly does that setting do? Maybe it can be set to permanent on ICS browser+.
What adblocking app do you all prefer?

Hi all,
Only had my Transformer Prime for a few days and still getting to grips with it. It's been awesome so far, with just a couple of niggles! It came with ICS pre-installed which was interesting as I've never used an ICS device before. I have had a couple of issues with poor wifi but from browsing the forums here I can see its a bit of an issue...
The biggest problem I have had so far is Flash. I bought the Prime for my wife mostly and she likes playing the Flash games on Facebook. It took me a while to get a browser to actually play the flash games and annoyingly all the browsers still show the mobile site so I had to redirect to www.facebook.com and not m.facebook.com. Chrome said no plugin was available to play this file type, Opera Mini showed the flash content upside down and mirrored... I cant actually remember which browser is on at the moment but it was the only one that would play the games.
The problem is that the game is really slow and basically just plays like an animation and doesn't detect presses/clicks.
Is there a better browser that will play the games or is it a hardware limitation of the tablet that the flash games are just too much?
Thanks
Dolphin HD is a great web browser and allows you the option to permanently place the browser in 'desktop' mode so no mobile sites. I've played Facebook flash games using it. It works. Its not as fast as it should be but the games work fine.
I really like Chrome but Chrome seems to load most sites in mobile mode which I hate. I don't even like to use mobile mode on my GNex. I don't get it. Most phones these days and especially tablets are powerful enough and fast enough to render full HTML. Its stupid were forced to view mobile sites.
At any rate, give Dolphin HD a shot!

opera mobile for me performs the best when it comes to flash.
I had forgot about Dolphin! That was my fave browser on my Optimus 3D until Three took exception to it and accused me of tethering!
I will give it a try.
Thanks all.
Give "ICS Browser +" a try, i find it to be the best performance and i used to use dolphin all the time.
However i think youll remain disapointed by flash in any browser, they all have a lag effect and never run as they should in a normal browser.
P.S. Remember to set the user agent to Desktop and make all plugins run automaticaly.

stock browser performs much better than chrome on the prime (on my htc sensation i prefer Chrome because of the tabs)
I'm constantly switching. I was using Chrome when it first came out - somehow flash in it would work for me but i had to press the screen twice, one to load the "picture" and then once again to load the flash. It no longer works now.
I use ICS Browser + and Opera Mobile, exclusively. Opera more so. It hasn't crashed once, very very stable, and I love being able to open 25+ windows in the background and navigate from each to read the stories or forums from them. When something doesn't load properly (rare) i pop out ICS Browser + or stock browser. I was using dolphin back in the day but it was really lagging when scrolling down quickly. For me it's Opera = used it a few times before but since their new update - extremely stable!!!!
I find ICS Browser + to be the smoothest.
Don't forget to change to performance mode in settings.
You say you have tried opera mini. Have you tried opera mobile instead? Best browser i've come across so far for that sort of content.
Hi all,
I did a forum search and somehow didn't come up with anything, so here goes...
Has anyone else been experiencing ridiculously slow browsing in all browsers, even on WiFi? I've tried:
1) stock browser - fastest in my experience, but still a dog;
2) Chrome - dreadfully slow;
3) Puffin - slightly slower than stock;
4) Dolphin - slow, and dislike the UI/UE;
5) Firefox - again, slightly slower than stock browser.
With all browsers, my cold load speeds are somewhere in the 25 to 45 second range (sometimes they don't even load due to browser crashes; which has happened at least once with all of them), and hot loads are never below 15 seconds, even on fast & strong WiFi connections. I am running stock rooted, 4.1.2, RAZR XT912. Otherwise phone is quite speedy and stable (all window animations turned off, and ROM debloated).
Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated... What you did to fix/minimize it, etc. Will be interesting to see if this issue is specific to my handset.
Many thanks in advance to all!

stock and firefox seem to work better for me. chrome is slow ,but seems more snappy on 4.4.
For me Chrome is sucky-slow. Stock is better speedwise. Been awhile since I've tried other browsers.
How about non-browser software? Slowly too?

Most other software runs quite smoothly and responsively. The primary exceptions would be Google Play and Maps. So now that I'm thinking about it, possibly a hardware issue?
