I have noticed that while going through the forums the pages do not refresh when I go back to a thread I read earlier. Is there a way to have auto refresh like IE?
Are you just using the back button to navigate back to the forum? I've noticed a few funky things, but I've picked up advanced browser on the app store, and I don't seem to see it AS often. Ymmv.
[Q] web browser
Is there any other web browser for the touchpad? Or any fixes for the browser? It sucks! Anytime you go to a site when you revisit it it loads as if you never left and you have to refresh it.

nope, nothing else. won't be anything else unless someone extends the browser, which you can do if you know how to develop.
What about the "Advanced browser"?
https://developer.palm.com/appredirect/?packageid=com.maklesoft.browser&applicationid=9962
There's advanced browser which gives you tabs but it's also $3. The reviews seem mixed.
I'd like to extend the browser to have many of the features of opera mobile when I have some time to do it. It's on my list of things "webos needs, but need the time to work on them."
the only thing I really miss on this browser is the trinication or what ever they call it. Its when you double tap or use the plus and minus on the bottom right of the screen or pinch to enlarge in android. It automatically puts the next word on the right of the screen on the second row and aligns the article to the width of what you are seeing regardless of how big you make the font size in the article. Really great for aging eyes without glasses. My 2 cent input. Hopefully the incredible devs here at XDA will find a way...please...thanks for all your work...experienced it with viewsonic gtab and nook color....you are the greatest....

[Q] Browser: Reduce Caching?
One thing that has really been annoying me about the browser is that it caches whole pages, which is rather bad on forums.
Is there any way to reduce the caching do it works like a regular browser? I'm hating having to hit refresh every time I view a board.
[Q] Browser: Broswer caching issue?
I've been using my Touchpad to browse the internet and it's having some issues. For a certain forum, I will view it at one time. I come back later, refresh, and nothing will change. I have to clear the cache every time. Is there any fix for this or is anyone else having the same problem?

I've found the same issue, clearing cache solves it. Browser needs work.
MOD/FIX- Browser Caching Issue Fix!
So if you have notice the default browser on the TouchPad is over aggressive with its caching. Its painfully evident when browsing XDA, when you return to a forum here it won't load a lot of the new information until you manually refresh. I was finally able to find this simple fix to get the browser working better(at least closer to the way it should run).
1- Download internalz pro from Preware.
2- Launch internalz and go into preferences under the dropdown menu in the top right corner. Scroll to the very bottom and turn on Master Mode. Hit yes on the pop up (its warning you that if you screw things up, you screwed your self). Then touch the drop down menu in the top right corner again and hit close.
3- Now navigate to /etc/palm/browser-app.conf
4- Now find and change the following to this...
MemCacheMinDeadBytes=0MB
MemCacheMaxDeadBytes=0MB
MemCacheTotalBytes=0MB
DiskCacheEnabled=false
5- Now save this under the drop down menu and do a full restart. (not just Luna)
6- Enjoy and hit Thanks!
Just a heads up, some people with a slower internet connection may notice a little bit slower loading. I haven't noticed being any slower though!
There is a patch in Preware called "Disable Browser Cache" that fixes this. You could also do a search on Pre-Central for the patch. Someone posted the file there too. http://forums.precentral.net/hp-tou...eboss-flawed-browser-cache-3.html#post3146221 check post #59 for the file. Very EASY to install.
I forgot to mention that you need Preware installed to use the patch.
The patch didn't seem work for me, plus the patch won't apply if you have some of the other ones installed. This method was great and was still able to be apply with other patches. I was just posting this here for anyone on XDA that wanted to use it.
Your very welcome your rudeness!

Swype makes the messaging lag because the client has to load a certain amount of messages before you can start. is there a way to either fix this, OR make the client not load as many messages?
i experienced the same problem so had to ditch swpye a few months back, great substitute for typing making fewer mistakes savng time so if anyone does have a solution please let us know
nope, apart from regularly deleting your texts theres no way round it....
swype has its own issues with lag though whether its htc messaging or winmo messaging... even right now ads I try and type this reply swype is making me want to smash my face into the phone and scream "why wont you type? why wont you ducking type!!"
Go to settings tab, then More.
then go to 'Personal', and go to 'Input'.
When your input methode is Swype, tap on the button Options.
In the options scroll a bit down, and look for the part called 'Operation'.
Slide the slider of Speed vs Accuracy completely to the left (fast response).
Then tap ok, and it should work better.
Let me know if it worked for you, because they told me here on XDA it can possibly work, but I dont have received enough text messages yet to test it.

Nah, that's how I always keep mine, using it any either way drives my crazy-er! thanks for trying though.
What do you mean, it works exacly the same
had same problem for a long time , only affects swype
On the hd2 their are temp files the msging app uses i noticed its bassicly a giant debug log. When I saw mine after only having my phone for 2 months it was about a gig or so...I highly suggest deleting that. I am not sure if the HD2 opens that or its just an appendage type thing.
the best "solution" I've discovered is just turning off threaded messages. it's kind of frustrating, but there is no lag now...
I've found that custom keyboards are laggy for me too. The best solution that I have found is to simply make my phone faster. when I overclock or install a custom kernel on my phone, it usually decreases the lag caused by custom keyboards.

Good point, but it does not work everywhere. If you open a message from the sense preview it always starts the threaded view even if it is disabled in the inbox. Do you know a way how to disable threaded view there too?

Yes, you're right, and no, I don't. I just have to go through all the shenanigans of clicking everything. To me, it's worth it to use swype, and it's still faster and less tedious in my opinion, than waiting for messages to load.
Now I am using the ShapeWriter beta. It does not lag like Swype, however I really miss the vibration and a few other things. like swyping smileys.
For me, the lag only occurs when I use the newer version, 3.9.
If I use the older version of Swype I get no lag. Don't know what the version is but I attached a screen shot of it.
Did you notice that ICS browser likes to freeze? It is the same story as it was on Honeycomb on TF101.
Generally I try to type an address thet hit enter. The browser just pretends to be loading a www but it seems to do nothing.
I have noticed that. I have been getting force close after force close with this. The weird thing is that this worked great for the first day and then the second day it just has been fc crazy on me.
I guess I am getting the same thing.....
BROWSER IS NOT RESPONDING.
Then it asks
WAIT or CANCEL
The first night after the update, the thing was awesome. Now it seems to stutter and NOT RESPOND every so often.
Also I have to wait for the whole page to load before I can scroll. And sometimes it will load 75% of the page and then take like a minute for the rest.
For example....xda prime - show us your homescreen- that webpage was kicking my primes ass...lol
Btw, wasn't there settings in debug that we can change or turn on. Type About:debug into address bar and then go to settings and click on debug. Then u can change some if the rendering options. Is this a good idea, and what settings should be changed.
Still love my prime, just some little glitches that can be annoying at times.

I have this same problem. Usually when the "Wait or Close" option comes up, the page is already loaded. Annoying but useful,
My browser also does the same thing, sometimes hanging and giving me the 'Not responding' dialogue just as it starts responding again. This happens on my prime under HC and is still exactly the same after updating to ICS. I never have to force close the browser due to it, but the freezing is slightly annoying.
None of this never happens in Opera Mobile. Another good alternative browser better than stock is ICS+ browser. the maker of thumb keyboard made it. He has a thread in themes and apps section. its a free app and getting real good reviews on it now. plus plays flash and everything with no problems.
But there is a problem with flash on opera?
When I have issues just force stop it clear cookies and history plus cache... Fresh start It is a pain but I LOVE ICS's BROWSER!
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201
Dolphin HD locks up too
Any browsers that don't give problems? I saw one post for Opera that was good any others?
Maxathon Browser for Tablets is a pretty nice browser
I have the same problem but it did the same thing more with Honeycomb so ICS was an improvement. It runs faster and better, but there is still some stalls when loading sometimes. However, in Honeycomb this would give me Wait/Force Close messages all the time.
I have the same problem. Noticed it after the latest firmware fix (19th?). Don't recall seeing this happen before.
I don't think its the browser, I think its ICS. I've tried 5 different browsers and they have all had the same issues.
I think it is ICS too. Makes me wondering if Asus is testing anything they release pertaining to the prime? Or if they did, hope they are testing it out on random primes coming out of the assembly line for any abnormality before releasin it. Or maybe they are because we are the beta testers.
I have not experienced freezing, but i get random keyboard lag, where i type an url, and it takes 1 second to register the keyboard presses on the url bar then they print at one pop
I blame the delay on the stock browser's ability to process scripts.
This didn't start till the last update. It was working great before.
If there is one thing I hate about this is that there aren't any good browser on Android. Can't import bookmarks, can't handle flash well, no ad-block adons.
I just use remote desktop so I can use Firefox on Windows. Only real solution.
Hope they figure it out soon, as it is annoying to say the least. I believe it is worse after the latest firmware upgrade also...........
I've noticed the waits a ton since ICS. Never had a problem with Gingerbread. It's quite annoying and my wife thought the same.

Big peeve of mine, too... no ad-block addons. I thought dolphin had one, but I couldn't find it after I wiped my phone. Haven't looked for it since.
Remote desktop is a poor solution though. I can't find any decent VNC clients aside from AndroidVNC, but that doesn't let you pop up the keyboard on a tablet like you can on a phone.
I've been using the XYscope browser since I heard about it here. I like it. Does anyone know of a way for me to set it so every time I open the browser up it just displays the home page that I set? All the time it opens at the last position. Liking my tablet more and more even with the small amount of defects. Thanks!!
I just went through updating to the new firmware and flashed cleanrom and I'm noticing a few problems that I can't figure out by basic searching around.
First (and this is minor), when I adjust the brightness of the screen in the dropdown menu, it doesn't "stick" after the screen is turned off then on again, it goes back to the default brightness unless I lower the brightness in the settings menu. This isn't a big deal, but if someone knows a fix or if I'm missing something I'd appreciate input.
The second issue is more irritating. No matter what I do, the system chooses a default browser app when I click an internet related link. I prefer not to set a default, and it really gets annoying when I click a youtube or play store link and it brings me to the stock browser instead of letting me choose the designated app. Clearing default on the stock browser makes me go directly to chrome instead, and unchecking chrome makes me go to the stock browser again. I have never had this happen on any other phone, device, or ROM I've ever had, and I'm going crazy because its the first time I honestly can't figure out why its doing this! I think I've narrowed it down to the "htclinkifydispatcher" app, because if I freeze the app it doesn't do anything at all (as opposed to opening either chrome or 'internet'). I just want my app selection window back!
Honestly this is just getting in the way of me thoroughly enjoying reddit on my phone at work, so its extra frustrating
Does anyone know about this problem or a way to solve it? Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
EDIT: I forgot to mention, I've tried rewiping and flashing the rom again to no avail, the same issues persist.
EDIT 2: I fixed the second problem, so if anyone else is experiencing this, (back it up first just in case) delete htclinkifydispatcher, it seems to have a strong desire to select your default browser for you instead of allowing you to choose for yourself, and simply freezing it does nothing.
Thanks for this post. I was unable to authenticate Folder Sync with Dropbox due to problems with htclinkifydispatcher. Your post helped me diagnose and fix the issue (delete the apk.)
Does that rom have app associations in the system settings like BAMF 1.1?

Yes, it does.
Ok I was curious because that was how I fixed the HTC browser from being the default and switched it to Google Chrome under web URLs.
I just upgraded to the HTC One X+ and have found two problems that are unacceptable.
1. In any browser it seems (I've tried the Default, Dolphin & Firefox) I cannot save the Google Web Site "Search Settings". I always get "Sorry, we failed to save your settings. Try again later.". This has been the case with this phone only for weeks. My old phone, a Samsung Captivate, it works just fine. I have tried many things in the phone settings to no avail. Can anyone help me?
2. In the default browser, I cannot erase the browsing history completely. Even though the history shows as empty, you can still <Forward> & <Back> to ALL previously viewed web pages. It will always open to the last page browsed, not the set home page. I've tried a couple of history erasers but none did anything. Can anyone help here as well?
Thanks.

well sorry for trying to bring a smile to your thread....anyway close the tabs if they are open in separate tabs... that's what looks like the issue COULD be

Thanks, I tried that for the history problem, it didn't help. I've tried many many things for both problems, too many to list. But I will retry them all just on the off chance I do not remember correctly(very likely).
Can't save Google settings or erase browser history completely.
Does anyone have possible solutions? I really would like to solve this & not let this thread die out. I'm sure that I am not the only person to notice this issue.
Dang, you are right. I've just stuck with the stock "Internet" browser on this device as it works so well/fast for me and also the only one for this device so far with Flash abilities. I also closed all tabs, cleaned history, even used the famous "History Eraser" app from the playstore and cleaned out stock browser history. I then opened up the stock browser, hit menu, back button, what do you know it goes back to previous web page! WTF is right my man. I don't have anything to hide personally to worry about such things but damn this is for sure a bug none the less! Never had a device where i could "wipe" browser history yet the browser still must obviously keep a secret history backup as to why would it know the previous pages if history is truly cleaned out? For sure a bug and hope there can be a fix for this.
I would think if the stock browser gave you the ability to actually close "ALL" tabs then this wouldn't happen. I mean even your intial tab/page which can never be closed. Seems it must have 1 page active when opening up the stock browser. I would think if there would be a way to fully close this tab as well, the browser would then open a fresh initial tab from scratch causing no "back" button capabilities anymore.
Maybe cleaning out the history does so only to all other tabs instead of all including the intial tab or original tab opened?
Can't comment on third party browsers as i don't have a need for them. If it ain't broke don't fix it and the stock browser flys for me and love the interface personally.

Yes if u go to settings, apps, all, Internet (stock browser), there's the option to clear data. It says it will basically wipe all settings clean. I have too many settings saved in my browser so didn't attempt to do this but if it's important to the OP maybe he will try it?
Either way even if this does work it's not at all a true fix to an obvious problem. If one wants to really clear history they have to wipe the whole app clean? Hopefully a much user friendly alternative will be found or "created."

For problem #2 - My issues with this is that I can't just back out of the app without ending up at the AT&T default home page(or the last page viewed) instead of Google. The app still keeps running even after backing out completely. You have to use 3rd party System Task Manager to kill the app.
Here's what I can remember for sure...(I'm retrying them as I write)
From within Internet - Clear History, Cache, Form Data - Forward/back still there.
Doing a Clear Data from Settings>Apps>All>Internet does work, but it also wipes all my settings & home page.
Disable Google+ & Google Search - no help.
Unchecked everything in Privacy & Security in Internet Settings - no help
Checked & Unchecked all & various combos of settings in Internet Settings>Advanced - no help. (too many combos to remember).
UPDATE - Two things...
1. Settings>Apps>All>Internet>Clear Cache just worked. Why I don't know. I was sure I did this before. multiple times with no change. But I now have my Google home Page with no Forward/back arrows. For what ever reason it works now. I still think it should work inside the app but it does not.
2. All of a sudden I can now save my Google Search Settings. I don't know what happened there because it has not work on this phone since I got it, yet it worked on me old phone during the same time frame so it was not Google itself (I think).
Was there an OTA update? About software shows Android 4.1.1 but I am not sure what I had on it when I got it three weeks ago.
Figured that would work for history bit hopefully we can find a real fox for this.
Found a quick little fix for browser history. Just have to trick your phone a bit. What I did with the stock browser was open an incognito tab. Now close out all other open tans so the incognito tab is the only one. You will see there is now no back or forward options. Now go to settings, history, clear all, open a regular tab, no back or forward buttons.

:good:Thanks, I tried it & it does seem to work. I just wish Google/Android would fix whats broken instead of worrying over new features. Like all the App/services running in the back ground I will never use, that I can't turn off. I like long battery life.
