First samsung user here prior HTC. Is there not a way to make the text autofit when you pinch to zoom? Never had this issue with HTC.

i'm disappointed.
Settings-> Advanced->Autofit Pages
Dolphin browser has been working nicely too.

I too had to figure out a way, I'm so tired of Samsung phones not including it.
I found opera mobile(not mini)
Also maxathon
I much prefer opera mobile over maxathon, and I'm kind of getting used to it I guess...
Also try ICS browser in the market is included

So far guys in my honest review of prime vs moms ipad 2 is it doesn't stack up that well. Besides the gps issue which ipad doesn't have are these flaws.
1. Cannot copy and paste from web browser to gmail.
2. Lags very badly when typing in browser and other operations.
3. Stopping running programs is very slow.
Keep in mind I love android I have a Motorola ATRIX. That actually performs better than my tablet. I am able to use my phone quicker and easier than my tablet.

Not being able to copy n paste from browser to gmail is user error. Come on man..lmao that's simple stuff. It works as I've done it on several occasions. For the typing issues in browser or lag, really depends what site you on. I get no lag what so ever from typing. Maybe change your keyboard.
Come back when you tell us some real performance comparisons. I have an Ipad and Atrix 4g. They are no contest compared to the Prime. NEXT! Lol

There's nothing wrong with an honest review! But you must be doing something wrong with copy and paste, or you have a freak tablet. Just tried copying from stock browser to gmail, works great. Absolutely no lag in typing in the stock browser, but I am using the Swype keyboard.
Copy and paste should work
Use a third part browser
Honest reviews are good just give it more time it will grow on you

Exact same with my SGS2. Prime's hardware is much better than iPad 2's (and it's normal since it came out almost a year after), but software is definitely buggy. A lot of lags and freezes is kind of ruining the experience, but I believe Asus will work on that fast enough, especially seeing how popular the device is.
Your 2 cents are invalid.
I just copied and pasted into gmail from my browser, I haven't had any lag or freezing, and I am using opera mobile. Perfirmance is good here.

I'm not sure if meant that when you click the multitask button, pressing X for each of the apps is slow or completely unresponsive. At least this is the case for me. I have a lot of problems getting the screen to react in certain areas while others work fine. Pressing the power button then unlocking again solves this, so it's a software issue. Not sure if others are experiencing this too.
I use swiftkey keyboard and opera mobile browser and it's pretty smooth and fast. Also copy and paste works for me as well. As for the 3rd issue, I have no clue what you mean. The beauty of android is you can change stuff you don't like to make it better for YOU, the operator of the device.

I've found that hitting the "x" twice in a row deletes that app right away. Same thing in opera browser. When i want to close out a tab/window, I hit the "x" twice to close that tab/window.
There are plenty of things to complain about with the Prime, but your complaints are silly.
1) Copy and paste works fine.
2) The browser is great once you make the necessary tweaks in the debug menu. There's a thread on it. Granted, Asus screwed up by not having the default settings correct, but a little searching would lead you in the right direction.
3) No idea what you're talking about with prpgrams ending slowly.

I'm pretty sure the Ipad 2 doesn't have GPS either unless you get the 3g version. So comparing that to the asus prime is in a way apples to oranges. That being said, I think the GPS debacle is just bad PR for asus' nearly untarnished reputation.

First i put the gps issue asside. 2nd apple works out of box without tweaks. I handed to my mom and she was off and running. Copy and paste do not work in default browser to gmail. It will work if i stay in browser but when i leave to go to gmail it did not work. I also tried dolphin browser. Closing running apps was slow as molasses after using system for a while. A reboot was just required to install tapatalk from market. All other internet activities worked at the time. It is definately buggy compared to ipad. I had high hopes and i still am hoping ics on this pad fixes these shortcomings.

every morning after charging my prime overnight I lose all my open tabs in opera browser anyone have a guess as to why? Prime is def. not rebooting or anything Uptime still going.
The closing of tabs randomly in the background is an opera issue. It used to happen all the time on my Nexus S.

Yup. This used to drive me crazy on my Nexus S.
I have a Galaxy Nexus, and the browser is amazing. It really is great. So just hang in there for a few more days.
Also, there's a thread floating around w/ tweaks to make to the current browser in Honeycomb. The tweaks made my browser fly on my Prime. No more lags when scrolling, pinching or zooming. You should definitely check it out (sorry I don't have the link at the moment).
I noticed quite a few people here use tapatalk app. Screenshots on the Market were taken only from a mobile phone. How does it work on a tablet? Does it scale nicely? Does it properly flip the screen between vertical and horizontal?
Yep it works well. Here's a screenshot.

It works but it has plenty of missing features like the ability to search individual forums (or so it appears) and I think the interface mediocre but it's better than nothing.

Yeah, it works, but not at all tablet optimised. There is a HD version which has been released in the Samsung store only for the Galaxy Tab but unfortunately it does not appear to be released for any other tablets yet and when I tried installing the apk it loaded, but FCs when you try to log into a forum, making it useless.
So there does seem to be hope for a tablet version at some point.

When I press home and go and check my email or anything else, and return to the browser...it returns to the homepage. It does this everytime. It's pretty annoying. I've never run into this on my Inspire 4G. It's like its force closing when I press the home button.
Help?
I noticed this earlier as well on mine.
I think ill just have her use Dolphin. Its what i use anyways.
Same here. I ended up using dolphin.

Its my girlfriend's phone and she says, its fine. I informed her that there are other browsers and changes you can make. Her previous phone...iPhone 4.
She isn't used to Android, and I believe doesn't care enough. Thank god I made the switch before I was brainwashed too.

I exchanged my note under the warranty for that exact same reason. The new note did the same thing. It will even do it with dolphin browser eventually sometimes, though not quite as often. Ever since I rooted it and started using cm9 and AOKP with ics+ browser, it hasn't happened again.
I wish she would let me root it. Lol
I have run several ICS roms on my Inspire and I told her she would love CM9. I guess ill just have to wait for the official ICS update for the Note.

I noticed this as well. Good thing is, it's not an issue with ICS.
I honestly can't say this has happened to me using dolphin (which I installed immediately after purchasing the note)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
I think it has to do with using more than one browser. If you use dolphin, I think it takes over the allotted usable memory for browsers and wipes the other browser's pages out.
I keep checking every other day or so for.the official update, no luck yet.

It is a very annoying issue. I was holding out on rooting, but I gave in and rooted. Now I use ics+ browser. This doesn't happen anymore. I wonder what the problem is with it when it is stock?
well Dolphin HD and Chrome beta dont do that and are way better than the stock browser
they are free so should check them out
I would like to recommend a nice keyboard replacement for the Note.

I had actually purchased this keyboard for a Dell Streak 7 I owned. I sold the Streak and had forgotten about this great keyboard until I was going through my email's and ran across the link / activation from where I had purchased it.
Anyway long story short, the version is now up to 4.5, it's skinnable and has many free skins to choose from. Also hand writing recognition like Samsung's keyboard. You can also set your own landscape / portrait layouts as well.
There is a 15 day free trial to see if it suits you, just thought I might recommend this, my old activation key worked with the newest version, if any of you guys have used it on previous devices your license will transfer fine.
Try it out and leave your comments here.

I do but then again that's just me, if you look at the memory footprint it uses less than swype, has as many features and seems faster, but then again, my opinions are my own, just sharing knowledge I find.

I've tried this as well as SwiftKey as alternatives to Swype. So far, Swype is still my #1.

+1 Swype is still best. Swift is a good alternative to a stock keyboard, but not close to Swype in my opinion.
