I am using the Photon's stock web browser. Recently, it keeps misfunctioning. When I tried to browse web, it only has a very tiny block showing on the browser top, and keeps frozon. What is the problem?
Download Dolphin browser HD or Mini and see if the problem persists. Most of us don't even use the stock browser, we download dolphins right away and never look back.

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.

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.
Ive found that my web keeps crashing randomly. Sometimes a web page will be loaded and im reading it, and then it randomly crashes. What can be done to fix this? Are there any other browsers you can suggest?
Dolphin HD is the best browser in my opinion. Lots of customization and even allows you to use gestures.

im with you bro..i deleted the build in one and i installed that one..i set it to desktop and all pages load fast and nice...thats the best i could recomend
Ive started using Dolphin but it seems its even more laggy than the regular stock web browser.
I found out that my stock browser seems to auto close itself when I am loading heavy image sites like amazon with more than 2 tab. Is this normal and could anyone tell me why and is there a way to fix it? Thanks
My stock ICS browser crashes at least once a day. This is both before and after yesterday's update.
I can't help with a solution, but I wanted to chime in. My browser seems to be crashing a lot lately, too. It just closes and goes back to the homescreen for no reason...
I have this problem on all browsers I've tried, stock, dolphin HD, and maxthon.
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.
Hello, so I finally got Jelly Bean Friday on my S3 on Verizon. I love it for the most part. I have a couple of issues though.
1) The biggest issue I have is with the browsers. I have tried them all. Dolphin (which I love and used prior to the update) now automatically plays videos in the browser. If a site has some imbedded video, it loads and plays without clicking it. They can be ads or just videos posted on the site. It can be embarrassing to have those load in public, because they get loud. I don't want to have to keep checking that my phone is on mute before I browse the internet. Before JB, I had to click the video to see it play, now it just plays automatically.
So I searched and searched for a solution to this, before I gave up on Dolphin. Opera, Firefox, and Chrome had other issues I didn't like (either with desktop mode or with the videos). The stock browser would be perfect, except I can't keep it on desktop. I have done about:debug and changed the uastring, I have cleared the cache and data, but it still randomly goes to the mobile view.
2) I am also having a hard time texting pictures. I can receive them, but I can't send them. Chomp force closes, and the stock messaging app takes a few times for it to go through.
Is anyone else having these issues? Any solutions?
Thanks!

go into browser settings>advanced>enable plug ins
If its saying always on then thats why the vids/ads are playing, change it to on demand and they will need to be touched before playing again

Thanks for the response! That is how you do it in the stock browser. I have already done that. My problem with the stock browser is that it never stays in desktop mode.
It is Dolphin that I want to find the "on demand" option so videos don't automatically play.
Any suggestions?
