it s only me or are feeling a little lag in the browser? I have the phone and so far, was not having problems, but this day I have noticed a lag in the explorer, but when you activate any flash video it is worse.will have to do with the demand placed apple, as a user I have to say I feel cheated, and it seems unfair that samsung do an update on the phone without user consent.
for all users someone else feels this change?
If only I have a problem, which they believe may be the problem in my phone.
if the problem is that Samsung created an update in no time I found some message that will make the update.
Developers. as we return to the browser before?
Try Dolphin HD.
Flash is a bloated CPU-intensive system, it will usually cause lag.
Samsung don't "push" updates without the users knowledge, updates are via Kies only and require user approval.
Not sure what apple has to do with any of it?
I haven't experienced any lag when watching flash videos that isn't youtube on stock.
I have also not faced any lag but mine is moded and super fast stock browser
Browser )=
Very grateful and very quickly they respond in the forums XDA rocks
My problem to be more specific, after exploring for awhile at the different pages I lose the animation, wath animation? The animation when we reached the bottom of the page when you slide your finger up or down quickly. when this happens it becomes lag, try the rest of the night and restarting it fixes the problem.
Be a configuration problem? If the problem persists, create a video to be seen
Sorry for the apple, I read something about the photo browser APK but it seems it has nothing to do.
Anyway thank you very much to resolve my doubts I love this phone. and one of the things I love most is the browser fluides
Yep, same here, lag on the Stock browser especially when zooming in and playing flash videos. The truth is you just can't have a silky smooth browser in Android like iOS. Though, the most complete web browser remains in Android.
Regards.
No idea what is causing the lag your having
im zooming in and out while playing 1080p flash .....super smooth
ive never ever noticed lag on my phone except when running a custom rom with no lag fix
A lot of custom roms make the browser really laggy but stock its as smooth as ios. Try closing the browser in the task manager and then opening it again. Also chainfire ****ed up the browser.
Browser
I have two questions, it is possible that the update is the problem? 10.3 of the flash, I have chainfire3D how could this affect my browser? always keep it in nvidia plugin.
I HAVE I9100UHKG4
Kernal UHKG7
The point is that the lag started the day yesterday, then I do not think the version of the phone is the problem.
dolpinHD is lag for this cell phone, do not plan to use) = I want my browser before and if anyone can help me with the link to remove chainfire thanks.

Hey,
So.. I just recently got my hands on the prime and was trying out different browsers.
I've just found out that Maxthon created a tablet version browser and was fairly impressed with it however, I'm experiencing issues with sites that plays videos, e.g. desktop youtube site, it causes issues when you try to fullscreen the video and the connection of the browser just completely cuts off.
Either than that, everything works great and beautifully to I must say. A definite much more attractive and in someways, faster UI and browser in my opinion.
What are your opinions? and if your experiencing the same issue as me, are there any fix available to get around this issue?
Cheers!

Never heard of it. But after ICS, I don't really care for other browsers since the stock one is working fine.

I used the maxthon and found it quite useful at first. Its smoother than the stock browser. I have not try the youtube on maxthon yet about the fullscreen but when i tried to select text on a web page it will force close itself. Other than that maxthon has been pretty good for me.
I've tried just about every browser Android has to offer to find the best and I'm just spoiled from using Firefox on Windows 7 everyday, nothing Android has can touch it.
After trying everything I think I'm going with Maxthon, just wish they had more add-ons. Really want something like Ad-block Plus.
my browser of choice is opera mobile. but I do have Maxon. also. I do have to admit its the best looking out of all the browsers. its hard to describe but everything is rendered so well on it. Damn, can't describe it in words but its a real beautiful looking browser. All sites look so good on it. its a good browser. it has alot of potential. Still not a true tablet version though because it still has resoulution capability checkbox on the bottom. its more of an in-between version. still looks great. makes me wanna switch to it now...Brb..lol
Thanks for the great feedback guys.
In my opinion, for general browsing, Maxthon is probably one of the best as one of you had say, it really is smooth and everything is just rendered so well!
However, due to the common sites that I browse.. e.g. facebook for instance, when on the desktop site with Maxthon, and you're trying to view pictures, when the photo pops up infront of the news feed, it cancels the capability to scroll up and down to view the comments, instead it scrolls up and down the background which is the news feed.
And another disappointment is still the full screen capability of videos.
But either than, really happy with it.
However, I tried doing a comparison with sites and loading time, and trying to quickly clicking from one link to another with the stock and maxthon, both seemed almost equally matched.
the stock browser on the ICS of the prime does work really great but... it may be the look of the Maxthon that has won me over. But I still switch from one browser to another depending on my purpose.
Personally I'm a huge fan of Dolphin Browser HD. I use it on my Skyrocket and downloaded it last night on my Prime. So far so good!

I use to play with other browsers but since ICS came out it has been the smoothest browser of them all, uninstalled all the others.
After ICS I uninstalled all other browsers. Stock one is great.
I really like stock browser too, I just wish there was a way to keep it in desktop mode by default. That's the only thing that really bothers me about the stock browser.
That's the reason I'm using ICS Browser+. Its the same browser as the stock one but with the added bonus of selecting a user agent so it can remain in desktop mode along with some other goodies.
I really suggest it to anyone who likes the stock browser but wants a little more out of it. As a plus the developer is a part of this forum and is open to suggestions on new features.
I'll start by saying sorry for the long post and complaining.
So i've been noticing two things about my View that really bother me, things that I don't have issue with on my EVO 3D.
The first and most annoying issue is intermittent, but happens more often than not. My tabs don't stay in memory. If I tab over for any reason at all, whether it's deliberately or a popup, the page/tab I was on will require a complete reload when I return to it. It's especially frustrating when I'm watching a streaming video, because the video will not resume and in the worse case I won't even be able to watch it. That's because when I click it, an unblockable popup will occur, I close that popup and go back to the video tab which does not remember my last action creating an endless loop.
The next one is that MOST of the time pages do not scroll smoothly. I'm keeping in mind that this is an Android device so it won't be buttery smooth like an iOS product. I understand and accept the technical reasons for this. I'm comparing it to my EVO 3D, and wow, there is a stark difference. The View will judder and incrementally load as I scroll.
I've adjusted various browser settings and so on with no real luck. Do others encounter these issues? Is there a solution or am I alone in this?
are you using the stock browser? The stock browser worked fine for me in GB, not so much in HC. I am using Dolphin HD and it works better.
Yeah, stock browser. I'll try Dolphin, was just hoping there was a solution for the stock browser, I love that it's chrome synced.
Just noticed a .5 to .75 second lag on videos. Anyone else run into this?
I've noticed this issue when the browser is set to desktop mode. If I select tablet mode, there is no noticable lag.
Rick
I'll try that right now!
I use the youtube app for streaming from youtube and it doesnt have these issues at all
Seems fine now, youtube and dolphin were lagging. Rebooted the nt, uninstalled some unused apps, and seems to be working okay.
Seeing as I am limited on time and have to wait to post more, mind if I ask about max touchpoints? NT has a better screen right? I just don't know if its a hardware or software (build) limitation of 2. Funny thing though, Multitouch Tester acts slightly different on my Roomate's NC. If you use 3 fingers on his, the circles disappear. On my NT, the circles will just freeze. I hope that's something you dev guys can use!
by the way updating flash to the latest version fron the android market has helped others with lag issues so try that as well
Is anyone else experienceing worse browser and chrome surfing experences after the newest ICS update? I was under the impression that the buggs with the waiting dialog boxes and random crashes have gotten worse... Also i know chrome is a beta but its performace has also been worse since the update... I starting to wish i would have held off and waited for a more refined experience...
Anyone else having these issues? Or found a fix? I tried a search and followed a couple guieds about the gpu issue to no avail..
This is not a pitch for the browser I use because I think it is great (or maybe it is...)
I've used Dolphin browser HD and it only gets faster and faster. I'm running on .14 virtuous rom but it was fast even with stock.
I'd suggest you try that browser
yeah.. same here.. notice this more and more each day. some sites better then others. just thought is was maybe a html thing.
I never had browser issues before the update and now it closes all the time. Lags too. I'm just using stock but am going to try dolphin to see if it's any better.
I didnt use the pad for long on honeycomb but the lag is noticible.
as a matter of fact, the first comment i got from a friend who had a playabout on my prime (already on stock ics .14) was that the browser was laggy!
I also noticed that download bars keep flickering throughout the download! (esp apparent when downloading large files)
I just delete my browser's data ad cache from the Apps Menu and it definitely smoothed out a lot of browser issues I have been having since the ICS rollout. I have been using the browser over an hour now and haven't gotten a single "wait/close" error. Pages are also loading smoother.
I couldn't find a thread about this.
At times when I open a web page with lots of content (images) the page will be loaded just fine until it is almost done. Everything is fine and I can scroll the page. Then it will just freeze until I get the dialog "Browser not responding" asking if I want to close it. However, instantly when I choose "Wait" the browser becomes responsive again and finishes loading the page.
Lately this has been happening a lot more frequently. About every 5th time I load a big web site. Sometimes it happens even here, but it is quite rare.
I've tried this with other browsers and they behave almost exactly the same way, except they freeze for a shorter period of time and it never gets to the "App not responding" dialog. But they will still be frozen for multiple seconds during which I can't scroll the page.
During the freeze none of the Android buttons work but music playing in the background plays without any errors.
This has really started to irritate me so I wanted to know if others are experiencing this.
This far and away my biggest problem with the Prime. I really hope this gets fixed.
Same problem here.
I thought it was related to the common freeze/reboot issue addressed by the latest patches, but it is still occurring with patch .15 (just had one loading this thread).

If you prefer to use the stock browser, download ics browser + from market.
Same as stock but with more features. Works flawlessly on my prime.
My friend also have this problem. Also with the ics+ browser. It works flawlessly on chrome though, so maybe flash is the problem?

No, even if you block flash on the stock browser, this problem randomly happens ... it looks like a problem with Stock and ICS+ browser (well ICS+ uses pretty much the same code base I think), but doesn't happen in other browsers as far as I can tell.
So most probably it's a problem with the stock browser !
For me it happens even if I don't have Flash installed.
It happens with Dolphin browser as well. Haven't noticed it in Opera.
Chrome is a bit different. Occasionally when you scroll down while it is still loading you only see white until after some time it starts to fill the page again. I think it could be related because the duration is pretty much the same as with the freezing issue.
My biggest frustration also.. figured it was possibly related with all the reboot issues also but still happens regardless of what browser I try and I have tried all of them.. I hope this get fixed soon..
That was my biggest complaint about the Prime... Browsing was just not fun because of this. I switched to Dolphin and it's much better.

You are lucky.. Dolphin no better here and just switched to chrome to post this after Dolphin closed out afterward and happened on chrome.. Please Asus fix this.. main reason I have a tablet is to surf! It is very tiring
from my experience all the browsers (ICS, ICS+, Firefox, Dolphin, Boat, Opera) have flaws, even Chrome Beta which still doesn't recognize the Function keys on the Keyboard dock and somehow interprets a character return when you try to enter an uppercase "B" on the dock.
At this point, I rather Microsoft get involved and just put up an Internet Explorer for Android. All the other browser alternatives have flopped hard to deliver. It would be an ironic twist if a IE for Android just simply worked. (not to mention the Silverlight and Flash support )
yup
Ditto here. Biggest complaint about the prime for me, too... after WiFi and GPS.
I think I've had this happen to me on every browser I've tried. Dolphin, chrome, ics, boat...

I get the same thing. Figured it was just me.
My biggest annoyence by far, I've got this problem with all browsers on a regular base and it's a big problem that needs to be fixed quickly.
Same problem here even after latest update.
I also noticed this before. The strange thing is that with the same site, on different times, I sometimes do have this problem, and sometimes I don't.
I have same problem the browser freez and chrash and sometimes i get force close
Me too.
I have had the same problem on all the 4.0 builds. With stock, dolphin and chrome browser.
Did a factory reset after .15 update, no better.
The ics browser on my phone does not freeze. Seems its a prime thing. Anyone notice this behavior on any other ics devices?
