Is this browser supposed to be so slow?
Before you play the video turn your sound down.
http://youtu.be/_67txGwMSP0
See how slow it is to load. Is that normal. I'm on a decently fast connection. My phone seems to load the same pages quite a bit faster.
That's sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwww
That is slow … has it always been like that or did it just slow down?
And as long as we’re posting videos … http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNimNlYJ6xA&context=C368eccaADOEgsToPDskKnpI5_-1PwV27CP-5CZGF-
I played the video and opened the same sites on my View side by side and my device only finished loading the sites a couple seconds earlier... I also tried with Dolphin and got slight faster loading times but only in some cases. And that's with an ad-blocker enabled that should cut time by not loading the ads (especially flash based ones)!
Any ideas about further testing?
It has always been that slow. I've tried pretty much alll the other browsers out there and the result is about the same.
I'm going to try a factory reset. Unless someone else has a suggestion.
The weird thing is how it loads. Its starts off fast and then slows to a crawl. In some cases I'm done reading the page before it is completely loaded.

I noticed that … almost looks like a network problem.
One thing … are you running any kind of antivirus?
No anti virus. All of my other devices on the network run fine but the View is SLOW.
I tried a factory reset that didn't help.
Couple things you can try:
1) Open your wifi connection in settings and "forget" the connection. Then unplug your modem and router leaving them unplugged for 60 seconds. Plug the modem back in first and wait for all the lights to come on. Then plug in your router and wait for all lights to come on. Now reconnect to the router in your wifi settings. Download "Speedtest" app from the Market and run it. If you have an N router you should be getting a ping of around 50ms and download speeds of 10mbps or higher assuming you are close to the router.
2) If that doesn't give you the desired results, open you wifi connection in settings. Long press on the active connection and select "modify network". Under IP Settings select "static". Save and close out of the dialog box. Now long press on the active connection again and choose "modify network" again. Scroll down to DNS1 and type 208.67.222.222 and DNS2 and type 208.67.220.220. Then save and reboot your tablet.

I haven't seen this issue myself but I can say that web browsing has not been great for me. Got the flyer today and i have had more than 10 crashes in the browser where it just closes. This is happening with opera also. I have updated to honeycomb and have hard reset. Unfortunetly this is a big issue for me. Browsing is primarily what I would use the tablet for.
The pinch and zoom in the stock browser is very jittery and jerky also.
Anybody else?

So up until today, I've had not one single issue with my flyer. It's been super speedy and very responsive. I left it last night on the charger uploading a video to YouTube. (WiFi only BTW.) When I woke up the upload was done and the battery was charged. But everything seemed super slugish. Just flipping between home screens was painfully slow. I restarted the tablet and was shocked to see the device hang on both shutdown and reboot. For much longer than normal. I've never seen it this slow. I went in and killed some un necessary services and processes ... No change. I restarted the tablet again and if seemed slightly faster. But not like before still. I haven't tried rooting I'm still 100% stock. Could it be a virus? If so does a factory reset take care of that. Is rather not have to do that but I'm willing If its sure to solve my issues. Any other ideas from anyone? My recent installs include Google+, VidTrim, xda, and soundcloud.
I'll post back here if things change or I find the culprit. In the meantime has anyone else run into similar slowdowns?
P.s. I was wondering if it was an HTC sense issue. It crashed on me once before rebooting the first time and seemed to take forever to load after powering on ... All the animations were laggy and the clock was off by about an hr..... Frustrating. I really like this device.
Hi,
I get a major slowdown on my Flyer when connecting to 'free' public wifi sites. These are sites that provide free wifi after you have signed in via a web page where you enter a username/password or checked a box to accept some terms and conditions etc.
The wifi at my home or via my HTC Desire hotspot is fine as are all other wifi hotspots where I connect directly using the name and credentials stored in my Flyer. It's only these ones that require the additional login that give me trouble.
When it hits, the Flyer becomes unusable for anywhere between 30 and 60 minutes. Hitting the home button generally shows a blank screen that gradually (and I mean g-r-a-d-u-a-l-l-y) redraws. A message stating that HTC Sense has stopped appears and you have the option to restart sense, wait or tell HTC. None of these help as the message box just disappears and then reappears about 30s later. In all cases I've noticed that the sync icon is showing in the notification bar.
It's a real annoyance, but I can mitigate it if I login to the sites before the sync starts. Unfortunately if I accidentally wander into range of one of these sites, and the Flyer finds it and decides it's time to sync then it stops again and I have to very patiently wait for the screen to respond, pull down the notifications, switch to the config settings and switch off wifi. There is still a delay until the sync realises that the wifi is no longer available.
As I said above I also have a HTC Desire that connects to these networks with no problem. This is not running sense however as I needed more application space so instead it's running gingervillain 2.7 (android 2.3.4) and has no problems with the connection.
So I suspect Sense and some synching operation its running. Will do some more investigation tomorrow as more users come online at work.
Cheers.
Haven't heard of any Android viruses that slow down the system like you are talking about, only malware that is disguised as an app. So if you haven't installed anything recently, I would say not any type of malware.
Factory reset may help. But of course, that means starting from scratch re-installing all your apps, setting up your home screens, etc.
I'm attributing it to the fact that the thing had been up and running for like a week. After a restart it seemed to have cleared up. Note to self .. power down and reboot every few days.
I had something very similar...
I installed "a bunch of stuff", then went traveling (across Europe), and tried to use the gps as I went. The flyer slowed to a crawl and became very temperamental. It felt like something was hogging the processor. Several reboots did not fix the problem.
Even sometimes the unlock screen could not get enough processor cycles to complete the unlock.
I started uninstalling the various apps I had installed, and eventually normal service was restored (and has continued fine).
Unfortunately, I was not rigorous about the uninstalling sequence, so I can't be sure what caused it.
My suspicion is that it was an Engine I installed for Text-to-speech settings. But it is only a suspicion. Like I said I installed a bunch of stuff (stupid really).
If someone can point me to an installation history howto, I'll try to be more precise.
Not sure if this is the place to post, but here goes.
Anyone experience the same problems?
My tab: Stock P7510UEKME
Issue list:
1. Wireless sometimes unable to reconnect after hibernation: Only solution - Reboot
2. Randomly unable to unlock after hibernation: Solution - Reboot
3. GUI lags a bit compared to my wife's Ipad
4. Battery drains much faster compared to my wife's Ipad.
5. Random reboots
6. Installing from Market sometimes requires several attempts. It just says "ready to install" but does nothing.
These are not huge problems. But, they are very annoying when they happen.

1. This could be your router- when you hibernate the tab sleeps its wifi. So on your tab change wifi sleep to never. Reason for this is to hold your IP address in the router. When wireless devices ask for internet from the routers, they assign a ' floating ' IP address. So in this case you turn on the tab and the router gives the tab an IP address of 192.168.1.3. ( the router assigns its IP's in sequencial order. So the next one would be 192.168.1.4 and so on. ) but then say you hibernate the tab, the router sees its lost the connection with the tab and deletes that floating IP address it had previously assisnged to the tab. Then say another device wants wifi, the router is going to give it the lowest available IP address, and it might be the one that the tablet was assigned to. So say it does, now your tablet cannot connect because it is looking for the old IP address that it was on. The tablets wont ask for a new ip address, and tries to reconnect with that same IP address, without success.
You can fix this by doing and making a static IP address on the router just for the tablet. But that's more involved and I would check to see if the wifi keep policy is on never.
2. Hmmm how long is this tablet on hibernation? Sounds like you have too much going to or loaded in the bkgd and getting GUI lag...
3. Each pad has its owe inherent lags. Rooting , custom roms and over locking kernel will fix this.
4. Could be a placebo that it seems like it is. I would root and use the calibrate battery app in the market. Also don't leave your screen on full brightness, put it low until you need it. Also you may just be doing that much more than your wife, causing more drain.
5. Custom rom will fix this. Samsung has the whole system all jacked up...
6. I have had this myself, but never fret. Just reboot or delete google account and log back in and that should fix it.

4. mainly depends on your settings and the apps you run in the background, especially those who keep the Tab from "sleeping". Mine loses ~2% per 24h with wifi shutting down when the screen is off

1. No, the wireless issue is not the router. It happens outside of the my home as well. Currently on a business trip, and it happened this morning too.
2. Several hours or overnight, usually.
3. OK
4. I got some more sync activity (emails and such) going on, but other than that, it is pretty much the same. I know Android have had battery issues in the past, maybe they're not quite fixed yet.
5. Custom rom might fix this issue, but I don't want to introduce new problems by using a custom rom. The lesser of two evils, right .
6. OK, but no biggy really.
Again, thanks for your reply. Appreciated.

I had those 3 problems before (all 3 solved with pershoots kernel). Solutions that worked for me before:
1. Enable/disable airplane mode.
2. Once you press the power button (to turn on the screen) wait 5-10s. Then touch the screen to unlock it. I have no idea why, but it worked for me.
3. Check what is using the battery. For me it was 2 apps that used 60% of the battery. Once uninstalled it was all OK.

I have a couple of comments. I have had an iPad2 since it was released, and I got the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P7510UEKME) a couple of weeks ago. It is rooted to accommodate the "Hulu" Flash library but otherwise unmodified.
It seems to me that there are some interesting tradeoffs here. For what its worth, I have not experienced any of [1], [2], or [5], not even once.
[3] I find both interfaces very responsive and have no issues with either one.
[4] Consumer Reports reported (tested? not sure) battery life and got 11 hours from the iPad and 9 hours from the Tab, browsing the web (wifi). Another review, "Tablet Shootout" from the San Francisco IB Times, was based on a test with both machines playing video with wifi on, and 65% brightness. The Samsung clocked in at 6 hours compared to almost 10 hours for the iPad. This is in line with my experience on both machines. The Samsung does have more pixels to decode - 1280x800 vs iPad 1024x768 - and it takes more power to compute those 33% extra pixels. Or it might just be a code maturity / efficiency thing. But after watching an action movie on the Tab in widescreen 16:9 HD and comparing it to 4:3 letterboxed on the iPad, I was sold on the Tab, even with its shorter battery life. Then again, I don't spend much time on airplanes.
[6] This is a known problem but it still is a major annoyance. I cannot install a new program on the first try, ever. Sometimes I have to try 5 or 6 times. This does not occur with on my Droid 2 running Android 2.2 or Android 2.3. I wonder if other Honeycomb users are having this problem or if it is a Samsung thing - does anyone know?

There is so much I like about the tablet compared to the Ipad. I wouldn't switch at all. I realize that there is no such thing as perfect software, and the Android ecosystem will obviously mature over time. Just hoping for some more native tablet apps (sooner rather than later) and if they could increase the battery life just a little, that would be perfect. I have not had the "install from Market" issue on my Galaxy S2 phone, so I think it is a Honeycomb issue, but not sure.
Thanks for replying.

I have to constantly toggle Wifi on and off all the time. I know it is a known issue but is it as common as mine is? Is there any fix to this? I hope it is a priority of CM7 developers cause it is making android on the touchpad pointless.

Yes everyone experiences this quite often... its why is is a known issue. Its also why so many threads on the issue exist. Its also why its in the Common issues and problems thread at the VERY top. People wouldn't have so much emphasis on it if it wasn't common.
Make sure you set your Wifi Sleep policy in Wifi advanced settings to NEVER.
The problem I am having is that I can connect to a network. Says the normal optaining ip address, then it says connected, but I have no internet connection. I do have internet connection on multiple devices running on the same network. Did I miss something in the settings for wifi? Thank you
This guy also suggests changing the hostname to something more palatable to some routers:

Not sure if it'll help, but I've made this change myself. We'll see...
I'm running Android without any problem with WiFi, but, I do run Regpon to keep it "alive".
It may help unless you are talking about problems with Webos!
Wifi is basically useless to me on Android. It will work for a couple minutes, crap out, say it's connected yet provide no connection, etc. I'm just going to stop worrying about it until an update is out.

I had WiFi working for a bit after first installing CM7, but after it went to sleep' I can't reconnect. I get force closes when I try editing WiFi settings. I've tried rebooting multiple times, toggling wifi on and off, airplane mode on and off, etc. It refuses to reconnect. It shows "connecting” briefly, but never actually does.
Can't do much of anything with no wifi... It was great while it lasted though.
Search is your friend people..... Known issue but there is a temp fix you need to do once and you will be fine until the next time you reboot. Leaving wifi on, press your network and tell your tp to forget it. Now turn wifi off. Turn back on, select your network, enter key and you are good to go until you reboot. Easy fix.
If wii settings is running real slow, no worries, do above steps pressing buttons only once and wait, it will catch up. If you pop up says it is not responding, click wait, it will work. Remember you only have to do this on reboots.

Thanks, but it also doesn't work for me. I had already searched, found that method (aside from already thinking of it and attempting it myself), but I get force closes every time and clicking wait doesn't help. It never allows me to click "Forget Network". It just cycles through Force Close when I try to get the menu to pop up allowing me to click on "Forget Network".
I downloaded an app called softlocker and it keeps the unit from going to sleep in all ways. I have noticed a huge improvement
We are clearly talking about 2 different problems here.
1) The known issue where WiFi is rock solid whilst using the touchpad, but if you let it go into deep sleep it will turn off and not come back until the wifi is cycled
2) This guys problem where he is randomly being disconnected whilst using his pad. I recommend getting the latest firmware update for your home router and also "temporarily" turn off all WiFi security connect your pad and see how it reacts, just to make sure this is not a security issue.
My Wifi crapped out a couple times last night. I was playing with Airplane Mode. After turning off Airplane Mode it works flawlessly again.
If it keeps searching / obtaining ip, put in the correct password.
I seem to have fixed the issue by changing my router from WPA to WEP security. Haven't dropped my connection in over 24 hours. Perfect.
Edit: 48 hours now, never dropped wifi.
Not sure what wrong with my Prime,
1.
It has been dropping strong wifi sites on a regular basis for a long time. It will connect ok but if I let it go to sleep or change apps it will usually drop the connection. Have set power settings not to drop wifi, but that makes no change. No idea what is the problem.
2.
When using the built in library app and changing pages in epub book the screen will sometimes go black and wont come back on for a minute or 2. Sometimes it happens when rotating the screen. No idea?
It is rooted but using the OTA standard ROM.
I have a DSL 512 kbps plan. I get an average speed of 62 KB/s on my home PC. I also have a home router.
My galaxy S2 has android 4.1.2 stock JELLYBEAN. I had been using my wifi for approximately 1 month with no issue, the speed was normal.
But from the past few weeks, i had noticed that the application on my phone are taking very long to connect to the internet. Eg. Youtube loades video in 5 mins, a background wallpapers application takes very long to load pictures, Compared to previous state when videos started in seconds, and loaded pics with a blink...
Signal Strength is Excellent... I tested my speed using speedtest application.. and it was normal around 60 KB/s...
I test my wifi on my friend's mobile, and it was normal. Youtube videos started in seconds, webpages showed without any loading....
I don't think there's a problem with my ISP or router.
Please HELP !!
First try another wifi connection, and see if speeds are low there too.
It's still the same.
@ immortalneo
Have you tried a factory reset? Does that make a difference?
And try downloading a file to see if your download speed is low. If not, then the issue could be app related.

On speedtest.net (and app) I get 5mbp/s download, my connection to the router is 54Mbp/s. So my internet is good for my phone, it isn't ultra fast, but it loads large pages within 10 sec.
If yours is 60kbp/s, it is super slow. You should pay more to get more speed. (in case if you mean your home wifi)
Still the same

Yes, I've tried the factory reset. Still the same. I'll try to flash my stock ROM and then tell you.
And how could the problem be app related..?

Sir, it not a question about my internet connection. When my WiFi was working fine, I didn't have to wait for apps to connect to the internet.
My gmail app showed my mails at a go. YouTube took few seconds to start a video. But now, the apps are taking a hell lot of time to open.
Although they open, but after loading, loading and loading....... Google play opened within second, but now it takes very much time to load, and then show the menu apps.

It could be overloaded connections or your provider has a bad day/week/month etc.
