[Q] Galaxy S3 browser - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Anyone encounter browser load only half page instead the whole web page? I tried others browser but still unable to load it full. Any solution or maybe any setting i need to configure?
Previously when i'm using Galaxy S2, i encounter same problem on stock ROM but after i rooted and switch to custom ROM it solve the issue.
But on Galaxy S3 i tried to use OMEGA custom ROM but the problem is still there, unsolve. Can anyone help me on this as i need my work website to be fully loaded in order to use my S3 for work purposes. Thanks...

People actually use stock browser and not Chrome beta? Blimey whoknew!

Using stock browser makes sense because it supports flash.
Chrome beta doesn't support flash and probably never will.

I love when people just reply with something that is not related with OP problem at all.
Anyway do you have the problem with both wifi and 3G?
If you only have this problem on wifi maybe the problem is not your phone / web browser but your router / internet connection. I never heard of this issue before and I watched a lot of video on youtube of the GS3 browser and it was loading pages perfectly (I don't have the phone yet).

I think the fact that Chrome still manages to stutter when scrolling on a quad core phone explains why people are yet to switch.

Ive been out of the game a while, but i actually quite like the stock browser. But in answer to the OP's question i have had no issues. Try Menu > Settings > Advanced > reset to defaults.

I have had some browser issues too, turned out my 5ghz router was the problem. Switched my router to 2.4ghz mode and everything was good again!

Yes, i'm having the same problem on both 3G and wifi. I don't think is the routher problem. Any solution?

Yes, because browsing with chrome it feels like your back with old HTC hero.. It's that sluggish right now! For me that is

Hey
I'm getting loads of little blue question marks all over the pages of websites instead of pictures, it's very random, and only happens on 3G. Any ideas?

Post some links to the websites you're trying to get to. Maybe it's simply unsupported content and not really an error. I'm sure some unsuspecting, but good intentioned Atrix user will click on a link provided by a random person to test it out on their phone.

Browser White Page Issue.

Hello everyone, I am a fairly new XDA user and have been on topics for my Galaxy S2. I also happen to own a Transformer Prime TF201. I have to admit, I love everything about the tablet aside from its size. Not so portable but, great aside from the portability.
Since there are little to no tablet optimized apps on Android I end up using the browser on the prime more than anything. Occasionally I will run into a problem where a page will load completely blank white. Usually, when this occurs, I just clear the cache and things get fixed. But, a few days ago, even after clearing the cache, the pages will load completely blank white. I have Chrome on my prime so I can use that at the moment but, it is very unstable compared to the standard browser that comes with the prime. Does anyone know of a fix to this white page loading problem?
Sorry if this has already been mentioned or fixed before. I did a search and didn't find anything on the topic so, I figured that a new topic might be necessary.

This happened to me once or twice, but simple closing and reopening helped. Since I'm unlocked and on custom rom, I haven't had such problem.

I would say just ditch the built in browser. I use two browsers: 1. Chrome as my primary and 2. Dolphin if I come across something where I really need flash. JB does away with the old Browser app and replaces it with Chrome anyway. So why not get it and get used to using it now rather than try to get along with the old browser which is going away anyway.

There is just something about Chrome on the tablets and phones that just don't do it for me. The PC version is fantastic, but, the android version is just bad I think. I have it lock up all of the time. I guess I'll have to use it for the time being I guess.

Have you tried using Firefox Beta?
That's what I currently use and it works great. I will say that I have had it toss out the occasional ANR message and crash, but I find it to be more stable than Chrome.

I have given a variety of browsers a go but, I just can't seem to find any that I like and are as stable as the stock browser. Why can't they just make it work like Apple's Safari browser for the iPhone?

Browsers crashing way more often on 4.2.1

Every third party browser has been crashing. a lot.. And it started exactly when I upgraded to 4.2.1. Anybody else noticing this?
Are you rooted? I'm on cm10 rom and every browser is crashing on me also

No completely stock... .. Google *sigh*
I'm also noticing just a general glitchyness about them all. This thing isn't worth a whole lot to me If it can't surf the web without crashing constantly...
Found the issue with the third party browsers

It seems a quick fix is to disable javascript which worked for me.
Im getting the same thing but I'm still on 4.2. I tried the ota update but it didn't take but I'm still being affected by the 4.2.1 browser bug. Annoying.

This fixed the crashing issue for me but unfortunately that means that half of the sites I go to (including this one) don't render properly. This issue needs to be fixed NOW. Like yesterday. Pretty unacceptable.

More likely you're on 4.2.1 but the build.prop just didn't get updated. There's some discussions about that in the general forum.
I checked and still had the People month bug but have since updated properly using cwm to flash the zip.
Update 1: Settings>accounts> Google >ads disabled seems to fix the browser issues

I get the crashes, but only sometimes. Some days it will crash on every other website; some days it never crashes. Kinda weird.

[Help] Chrome does not delete history

Alright, so I'm having this problem since a few months on both of my devices (Nexus 7 and Galaxy S3). For some reason, chrome keeps on remembering entrys of my history. It doesnt matter how many times I clear the browsing data, even clearing the app data doesnt work.
Web history and predictive search are both turned off.
Is there anyone that had a similiar problem and/or knows a solution? I attached a screenshot as example.

Root your devices then download system app remover and then remove chrome and download dolphin browser

Force stop your Chrome in setting, and you can find a clear data button in that page.

I've done that (as stated in the op) but even this has no effect. It might work for a couple of hours, but after that, entrys that were there before clearing the data, return.

Come on guys, he asked a problem about Chrome, if he wanted to just switch to another browser he would.
Clearly something is wrong.

Thank you. I'm using my local account, so no web history is in play. The problem seems to be rare, I have been googling for a few weeks now but I have yet to come accross a similiar problem (on android that is).

A question out of ordinary using the same methods as a regular PC... have you tried uninstalling Chrome and installing again from the Play Store?
i would recommend re-installing from the play store as well.
I have tried that, no luck though. I'll try and report it as a bug to Google, might get a response from them aswell.

[Q] Playstore Question

Hi Guys,
Ive just upgraded my S3 to the Zdroid ROM 4.3 from the Lightforce ROM 4.2.2 Leak. Since doing so I can no longer access the Playstore or Amazon Appstore and some other apps on the Wifi at work, some however work fine like Tune in player pro.
I work in the UK in Norwich but somehow my companies internet connection goes through America so everything thinks im outside the UK, Iplayer, Freeview apps and the like.
What im trying to figure out is
How come my 4.2.2 rom was fine and I got onto everything using the same wifi connection
And
Is there anything I can do or am I stuck with 3G only for certain apps if I need them at work?
Any help appreciated
I did try and search but I couldn't find anything much to do with this sort of issue.
Either flash a stock rom or ask in your rom thread.

Just me as far as im aware, that's why I thought it was the ROM..
Sounds to me like it has to do with ZDroid 4.3 Rom. I would check with rom thread if its a known bug. Maybe try flashing a different 4.3 Rom and see if that fixes the issue, that way you can be sure its the rom.
