When I try to visit this site:
https://members.premiereinteractive.com/
I get this error:
Connection problem
A network error occurred
Webpage not available
I can visit their unsecure page and their syndicates' sites. Page loads fine on my droid phone. Its a syndicated radio streaming site.
I didn't try it with HC, I've got the latest ICS.
It will load in Opera, but then the Flash radio player doesn't work. Can anybody get to that page on the stock browser or Dolphin?
I think this is an issue with the TFP browser. Would at least ONE PERSON try to visit that site please?
I tried and get the same result as yours with ics browser+ too.
Thanks. I'm thinking there's a problem with the ICS browser.
Edit: Tried with Dolphin hd and ics browser same results.
Opera loads fine.

I'm having a similar problem, but with this site and the bbc.co.uk site. Neither the ICS browser nor Dolphin will load. However, Opera will load the pages just fine.
I've noticed this problem is intermittent, though. Sometimes the stock browser will load xda - in particular, in worked right after I reset my router.
Also, I was unable to load https:// members.premiereinteractive. com/ in the stock browser (but it was fine with Opera).
Just tried it on my prime and had the same problem. Strange
Maybe the website is trying to forward you to a mobile page that does not exist yet.
Opera does server side loading.
I get this one too and I see opera can't seem to load flash. I keep getting the you need to install flash icon. So this isn't an isolated issue, I suppose this thread could be sent over to premiere to see if they can see if it is on their side. Mostly things work well but for this site.

Browser shuffle
I have several browsers on my tablet due to the fact that there are issues with certain websites. I have Dolphin mini, Opera, Firefox, and the OEM that comes with my transformer prime. Opera will not work with my bank, Firefox has some issues with certain other sites, and so does Dolphin mini. So I shuffle around to find the browser that works with the site I am on at the time. This appears to be a common problem with the browsers available.

Is there a better browser for the Vegan 5.1 release? The Facebook website in particular has a problem with the bottom-docked chat bar scroll up the screen and getting in the way of games and posts.
Thanks!

I have seen the problem your talking about on Facebook. I haven't used any other browsers on it besides the default, an old version of fennec and the crashy veiwsonic one. When I get back home ill check out how fennec does on Facebook. I know dolphins a popular browser but I've never tried it. Does anyone know how it does on the gtab?
Decided to use my precious limited data on my Htc Aria, Xda app
I've been really happy with Dolphin HD on Vegan 5.1. The up and down gesture controls are pretty helpful.
There is also skyfire and xscope
Okay, I installed Dolphin on my Gtablet. It seems like a nice browser and a little more adapt for tablets than the regular android browser in froyo. It still dosnt seem to be better with the facebook chat bar. To tell you the truth I wasnt expecting the bar to work at all in any browser in android when i fist got my gtab. Im hoping for better browsers soon. If you take a look at the demo of the moto Xoom, It looks like they might have put chrome in honeycomb, if so it would be much better than any browser for android right now.
They are all sorta lacking
Skyfire has a nice feature in being able to easily switch between mobile and desktop rendering of a web page. I find their little toolbar at the bottom of the screen that lets you integrate with Facebook to be annoying and there's no way to turn it off. The tabbed browsing isn't very friendly. You have to access it from a button on the control bar which opens another screen to select the tab. I never did figure out how to close a tab. It is pretty speedy. It's the only one I tested that isn't compatible with my Netvibes homepage--I don't know why, so I don't know what other sites might trip it up.
For me, Xscope was noticeably slower than the others in rendering pages. It's tabbed browsing works well, more like a computer browser's would. This one seemed to be the best at keeping flash-based items framed where they are supposed to be in relation to the rest of the webpage. (The facebook chat bar still rides up on this one...it rides up on all of them.) I don't like the fact that you cannot save webpages/bookmarks as shortcuts on the device's desktop with this browser.
No reason to talk about Opera Mobile.
I am using Dolphin. The tabs are best of the bunch. Swipe right and the bookmarks show. You can save bookmarks as shortcuts on the desktop. It's not quite as fast as Skyfire, but faster than Xscope. It does get to acting flaky sometimes--like trying to enter a term into the search field on the XDA site here. I've had it shut down a few times. To me, this ones features and usability set it apart from the others.
I mainly use Dolphin HD but have also installed Dolphin Mini and I really like it on the Gtab.
There's also a newer browser named Miren Browser. Check the market for it. It supports full flash and has tab browsing. Pretty neat.
Scott
Miren and Dolphin HD are my "go to" browsers on this.
Miren just "looks" nicer for some reason then Dolphin HD. I tend to use Miren more for aesthetic purposes.
Either browser sometimes gives me download errors when I try to download. Once in a while (more often then not) I get the following error when trying to download: "Can't download as file size is unknown" and then it just quits.
Any one have any ideas how to fix that?
I'm also for Dolphin HD. Lately it's been FC-ing on me, but I'm not blaming Dolphin itself (I'll be repartitioning today).
Dolphin Mini, seems to be geared more towards the g-tab. I've tried several of the others and mini works best for me.
I just put vegan on my gtab but many of the applications wont show up on the market and when i find them via browser it says they are not compatable with my device ie launcher pro and any of the dolphin browsers. I love HD on my droidx and would love to have in on my gtab aswell

take a look at firefox. Was using Dolphin, but this is much faster.
I have been using dolphin browser hd. It has been working well on my g-tab
Swyped from my St0n3d VEGAn 1.0 Beta 5.1.1 G-Tab
On the G-Tab I have tried most of the browsers.
Dolphin HD is my favorite so far. I am really looking forward to their public beta of the tablet optimized version.
Skyfire is fast, but I HATE that bottom bar.
Firefox 4 is out for Android, but the website graphics are bad compared to others. Some type of optimizing I am guessing. Despite that it is still slow.
I need to try Miren. I have not had a chance yet.
Being a tablet as opposed to a phone I would love for them to just release full Chrome on it.
Dolphin HD has some nice features, but it seems to present a condensed version of my favorite daily newspapers. I've tried typing in the full url, but it changes it and won't seem to present the normal view, that the stock Vegan browser presents. (An example, AZcentral.com.) Anyone know of a fix. Meantime I will try Miren. Can't get firefox to download to my Viewsonic, as Google does not recognize it as a android device. (I heard that going back to stock rom will fix that??)

That's probably on the newspaper's web site, reacting to the fact that it is a mobile browser. Go in to the Dolphin settings and change the user agent to Desktop, and see if that helps.
amazing how much smoother it is i really hope ics can help with this
I've found that the tab key doesn't navigate through forms properly in Opera. Anybody experience this or know how to fix it?

He's using the dock. Me thinks
i love opera mobile but not being able to watch embedded youtube videos is a bummer. Ift it could do that it would be perfect.
You guys should try maxthon browser, it is really smooth and has a great interface.
I can't get flash to work in Opera, I just hear the sound but see black squares. Also when searching google, it uses google mobile and not classic, which is very annoying. Any way to fix these?
Is there a Firefox browser for Android?
EDIT: nvm, I found it, it is http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/
Why aren't any of you with the Prime using a real browser, get Firefox.

I like maxthon. I used it on my original TF but for some reason on the Prime, when it closes, it actually doesn't keep the tabs I had open. It actually starts as if the browser was never running previously.
I hated opera at first then I realized I had Opera mini. Opera mobile owns all other browsers on the prime. I have always been a dolphin user til now.

its OK. I tried it out but opera is faster. plus Firefox doesn't display flashvideos also.
Okay, I am going to update my suggestion: boat browser. Even smoother than maxthon and allows Firefox, safari and even IE user agents!
I can't really see much of a difference between Opera and the default browser. Flash doesn't work at all in Opera for me and since Opera bookmarks are pain to access, default browser is the way to go for now.
Can't wait till Mozilla gets the browser fixed, browsing would be so much better with a decent adblock add on. Fennec is just way too glitchy to use now. Not to mention slow.
Opera is smooth but it has that strange issue with facebook posts. For example, you type something in a status box or comment and then post it. It seems to go through just fine but then when you go back and check the post was never submitted to the site.
LOL I thought you were kidding when you said boat browser but I just found it and am using it so far I like it interesting enough one of the sites I visit recognized it as safari 4.......

Firefix doesn't support flash. Here is their comment: Adobe Flash and other plugins are not supported. Currently, enabling the Flash plugin results in a compromised user experience across Firefox for mobile

Opera is the fastest and renders web pages the best. It also supports a wide variety of HTML5 video codecs.
I think opera mobile just needs an update to enable flash play on the prime/tegra3. My tegra2 Atrix 4g plays flash fine on opera mobile. Hopefully update comes soon. Stock Browser is the only one it seems to play flash video at the moment. That's half way decent, at least..lol
Opera is always a bit iffy with flash, need to try out a few different packages to find a winner. Definitely a lot easier once we have root and can tweak things around.
Here's my problem with opera: when I look at my NFL fantasy football league, opera keeps refreshing back to the main fantasy league page. It's annoying. I haven't found any other sites like that but that's my main site this football season. This happened in my original TF and so it continues here.
Oh btw, that boat browser is interesting

Hi!
I've been using Dolphin Browser HD on my stock Froyo ROM for quite some time now, but I've come across some various bugs:
- Serious stability issues:
I would normally browse the web and then all of a sudden browser would hang (loading a page for a very long time) and then my whole tablet would slowly become unresponsive or just behave strange (apps gone missing, Launcher crashes, every app I would like to start would automatically FC,...).
After restarting the tablet everything would be back to normal.
- Some flash SWF content would show as binary code (CWS):
Example:
Original link: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_gti9070_galaxy_s_advance_shows_up_in_photos_and_video-news-3737.php
Somethimes flash content is shown and sometimes it's not.
I even encountered a SINGLE HTML page that a part of page would show flash normally and other part would just show the CWS binary code.
On my Galaxy S phone on the same version of Dolphin Browser HD this page would show YouTube flash object normally.
I've searched thru Google and couldn't found a single result, therefore I have a hunch that nobody could help me with this issue but hey, it's worth a try.
How is the stability of Dolphin Browser HD in HoneyComb after 30 minutes of surfing the web (ViewComb, VegaComb, HoneyIce users are all welcome to post)?
Also how is that YouTube flash object shown on your tablet?
Thank you!
I also use Dolphin HD as my prefered browser.
I have use various versions of Stock, CM7, VegaComb, HoneyICS
I have had issues with Dolphin giving FC's, hanging etc... in all until now
Currently I am running ViewComb 3.2 Build 6.3
Dolphin Browser has been fine ever since I moved to this.
Haven't tried later builds yet.
I also like ViewComb because it is an nvflash install making it quick and simple to install.
I too had issues so I uninstalled it and got chrome which works great!
Hope this helped

But for Chrome to work you need ICS ROM.
The latest ICS ROM is still in beta / development stage.
Wasn't Dolphin the browser that routed all traffic through their servers? (and no not as a speedup service like Opera). It sounds like its time for a different browser with all those issues? Chrome of Firefox do the job nicely.
No, Dolphin Browser Mini routes all traffic thru their servers, this is Dolphin Browser we're talking about.
I since then changed to Firefox, all the crashes are gone and I just checked that gsmarena page I complained about in my first post and instead of binary code I get that the plugin for this content is missing.
I still like Dolphin's UI better, but I found a translated version of Firefox's apk file which is a nice bonus.
The way I see it Dolphin uses Android's internal WebKit which in my case is outdated and buggy and therefore causes system instability and crashes.
While on the other hand Firefox uses its own Gecko which is more mature (I use the latest version of Firefox).
I would also like to try Chrome, but that requires Android v4.0+.
I was wondering if anybody has used both firefox and opera. If so, which one is more compatible with most web sites in desktop mode. I have been using dolphin but I am having a lot of issues with it locking up. I really wish they could have made chrome run on honeycomb since most tablets will run that instead of ICS.
Really surprised to hear your experience, I moved from stock browser to Opera and Opera mini then I tried Dolphin and so far it's working great
I actually use Firefox.....desktop mode works well on here. Although Facebook forces Mobile View regardless if you set the option for Desktop. Overall it works for me; especially since I can sync my desktop with it.
I tried Opera, but it has issues loading several sites. I prefer the HTC stock browser since it syncs with Chrome desktop and works with most sites. Until Chrome runs on HC, I'll stick with the stock.
I use Opera pretty much exclusively. Compatibility has gotten better with each release. Even the Washington Post works for me now, whereas before it didn't. Gawker sites don't want to load, though. That's websites like Gizmodo, Jalopnik, Gawker, Jezebel etc.
However the fluidity of the Opera browser makes up for it.
Stock honeycomb (non htc) for me
If you all have not tried it yet, download Boat Browser. It is awesome!
I find firefox more intuitive and more custumable (through good ol' about:config), but I guess it's just a matter of habits. On the other hand, Opera seems a bit faster. Both worked fine for me with desktop sites version, with a light edge to firefox. I use HTC stock as primery, and keep firefox as my university's proxy browser.
Hi, here is a doubt / problem / question I have about the flash player in the TF prime..
I posted about this in the Android Q&A forum but I wasn't sure if that was the right place.. hence I thought I'll drop the question here as well, and I also saw the replies to threads in this forum is more than there..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1651191
Can some please help? Thanks in advance.
Edit:
I checked again and it seems the Adobe flash player is installed and working properly.
But when I try to run some Java tests or Shockwave player tests, they don't run and it looks like they aren't installed / aren't working properly.
Now, please forgive my ignorance, but is it that Java or Shockwave do not work on Android OS or browsers? I have tried this with Opera browser for android.
Thanks and cheers..
Edit 2
Ahh.. this is driving me nuts.
Now when I try to open Amazon Cloud Drive through the browser (Opera), it says Adobe flash player is required and it doesn't seem to be installed in the browser and I should get flash player..
Whats this all about? I have flash player installed I tried to check in Opera settings to see if there was anything I need to change / enable but I couldnt find anything relevant.
When I try to install flash player from that page in any case, I am not able to because it says the OS isn't supported!!!! WTH!
Edit 3
I tried with Dolphin Browser HD and there it seems to work without any problem - I can access the Amazon Cloud Drive folders for example and other sites and I don't see "no flash" error messages with Dolphin!!!
Hmm...
That was the only thing to do, trying another browser, like dolphin or Firefox
Yes, I have now checked different sites with Dolphin browser and they all work fine, while they don't with Opera!!
So probably I'll stick with Dolphin HD for those sites, for now.
Btw, while searching for a 'fix' for this issue, I came across many places which suggest Chrome Beta is also 'amazing' and 'wonderful' and the fact that once it comes out of Beta, it will be the stock Android browser? Is that true? And how is Chrome beta on an Android phone or tablet? Is it better than Dolphin or Opera, in all functionality?
Thanks and cheers.
Edit
Well, I guess I jumped the gun there.. I tried some flash and shockwave test pages.. Flash is working fine but Shockwave player test fails even with Dolphin HD.. uufffffffff... I'm a bit tired now!
