CM9 web browser scrolling - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all,
when using the browser in "heavy sites" it just isn't smooth(desktop view in facebook for EXM) .
there is a big lag between you swipe on the screen to the moment it acutually moves.
if you first touch the screen for a moment and than moves, the movment is instantly. i'm pretty sure it's a matter of some definition not something big.
it is pitty, cause this rom is great at everything but this point.
it's the same on every CM9 build i've been on.
allways full wiped before flashing
please help
Amir Weissbrot

help please..
does anybody has the same issue?

The browsers don't have much RAM space on mobile phones. So they have to move some stuff (final rendering, Javascript engine ...) away to have the capability to move around on a website with very many HTML elements (such as Facebook)
Jellybean makes it a lot better, if you're a friend of living-on-the-edge then I recommend trying it out.

The problem happens when you try to view a part of the page that has not been loaded yet, if you have a fast network connection you will barely notice it !
run www.speedtest.net on your phone
It's not a loading issue, it's a rendering issue.
I agree, it's very annoying -- I presume Samsung have done it so that scrolling is super-smooth and rendering is done on a best-effort basis, but I'd rather it rendered the page as fast as it can and slowed down scrolling if necessary on complex pages.

so it happens even after the page is fully loaded, that stinks. it may have something to do with the browsser being hardware accelerated, while all other android phones have browser rendered entirely by the CPU for al content.
maybe some implementation of the way samsung did this is causing the issue?
so after fully loaded, can you scroll faster than the web page can be rendered, meaning it cant keep up with itself?

Probably not with Samsung's browser. You could try another browser like Opera Mobile though as that doesn't have any checkerboarding.

ok its only affecting the stock browser, ive just tried opera/opera mini and dolphin hd.... try as i may i cannot replicate the issue at all, used the same sites... so for whatever reason the chequer boarding is there... its only in the stock browser.... from my experience.... no biggy, phew
The stock browser isn't amazing anyway and it doesn't support text reflow, I am using boat browser atm and liking it.

its obviously that Samsung has modified the browser to make it feel much smoother than other Android device and it looks like they've followed iphone steps in that, by doing the checkers to avoid rendering non-visible parts of the page.
and lastly, the browser is not hardware accelerated as other people think. Hardware acceleration will probably be implemented in Android's next release (Ice Cream Sandwich)
Checkerboarding maintains framerate.. I'm all for it since I cringe every time I see a phone drop to lower double digit frames/second.

Good question,
I'll test for you now. I just thought, why not just use the iPlayer app? Gives you the option to stream at HQ (800KBPS) which on my WIFI, looks great.
Update: Just tested it in the browser, and it's as smooth as the APP. I'd say perfect framerate, apart from the odd jump here or there, but that may be due to connection as my WIFI is only on 1 bar in this room.
So good news

Did you enable Desktop user agent and go to the full bbc iplayer website. Could you test this exact video for me please, and let me know if you get smooth playback?

What browser are you using as well. I do not believe you will get smooth playback when you play that video, cos I do not. So unless your galaxy s 2 is different from mine I dont know what to say.

Are you sure because the galaxy s browser is said to be hardware accelerated. Also no other android browser has such a checker board pattern, maybe related to Samsung graphics chip integration?

Thanks for the video but the issue isn't what you've addressed. On the SGS which I still own, if you zoom in further after the initial double tap (which reflows) it should reflow again using the text size you zoomed into. To describe in steps
1) Open website in overview like XDA
2) Double tap to zoom in and it reflows - this is as far as you demonstrated
3) Increase zoom by pinching for example to to the maximum zoom level
4) Double tap and it should reflow with the font still at the maximum zoom level.
The SG2 fails to execute the 4th step, instead it reverts back to the initial overview page. A workaround to achieve step 4 is to switch the phone to landscape then back to portrait mode after step 3, but that's not how it's meant to work.
Hope this clarifies what the problem is.

yeh i see what u mean now

Swipepad: how to make it work

I find swipepad amazing, but it fails to turn up some of the times upon swiping. I tried placing the zone at bottom (so as to avoid conflict with phone's other swipes) but still occasionally the pad doesn't turn up at all.
Wrote to dev, and was told that the app has to be made to work on large screens (I'm using galaxy note). But no actions upon it by dev. I purchased all associated apps but all waste.
Does anyone know how to make the app work RELIABLY?
It works great for me with galaxy note at the default dpi. Never failed.
However if u change the dpi from 320 to lower values it does not always invoke the app. The reason is that the zone becomes smaller with smaller dpi
Do you use a lower dpi?
I did mail the dev about giving an option to let the user decide the size of the zone but no reply
Also enable the option to have it running in the taskbar. This prevents the system from killing it. ( i have never had to do it as killing by system never happened in my usage. )
I also found that having lower rt and lt coners invoke the app the best.

Didn't change dpi.
When you say lt and rt what does it mean?

Ok, you mean left and right. Got it.
I think it fails to invoke at times as Android functions and various apps functions too work with the same swipe actions.
Bottom zones are more reliable for the same reason, there are a few times when there is a meaning to up swipe in Android or apps. (scroll up us not an option at times, as in home screen or in dialer)
Bottom left and right zone means you are making a diagonal swipe, which again is not very common in Android or apps as an action.
I'm just guessing with these explanations here. I'm rather confused by dev's response that there needs to be some work done regarding large screen devices.
i find it real annoying that almost half the time, there's a 1.5-2 second delay when i select an app. It'll say "Start [App]..."

Which device? Doesn't happen with me
The app is bugged and never updated. If you hide pads, they show up at random. Also the app needs customizations to select. The black plain background sucks imo and 1 default sound does too.
I bought all the add-ons for it and kinda regret it. They aren't worth the money and the app fails imo when compared to wave launcher.

Working perfectly on Desire HD running MIUI. Sometimes, the app got killed by the system, so I convert the app into system app in TB, and voila! The app is now invincible.
I've rarely seen the delay, because of the OC maybe?

[Q] Prime's performance in Balance mode, honest answer please.

Hi Xda forum,
I sent my Prime for repair after the hdmi port was not working. Right now, I'm am getting lags when swiping between homescreens quickly and i'm in balanced mode.The lag seem to improve when I switch to performance mode but it still exist. And also when clicking on the app drawer there is slight lag as well.
I would like to know if any of you guys are having the same issues as me ?
Please try it out for me, I really want to know if its a defective hardware problem.
Thanks
Regards,
Venz
my prime works great in balanced mode. when I'm not overclocked, I always use the 1.2Ghz balanced mode. no lag at all. everything moves fast as far as swiping thru homescreens, launching apps, loading web browser pages, scrolling thru web browser pages, etc...
try a fresh reboot to see if it clears things up. if sounds like you installed a bad app or widget or something. check the last things you downloaded. then uninstall one by one to see if it clears issue.
Ya,I've tried all types of reset.There always a very small lag when swiping across screens quickly and sometimes when clicking the app drawer.I find the prime pretty smooth hefore the repair.Confused.
Thats not normal.....i dont even see any lag when im on power save.
i run it in balanced and everything is super smooth. i have not been able to make it lag yet. only while using Wifi certain games(Glu) will lag.
other than that Nothing.
I've found the biggest thing that affects homescreen performance is the number of screens and widgets. Are your screens pretty cluttered? What launcher are you using?
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it.
I don't run Launchers or have numourous number of widgets on my homescreen.Even after a factory reset/Wipe/hard reset, I get slight lag that appears when sliding across homescreens.
I told the asus service staff about this but their reply was "It passed all the required test and there's nothing wrong with your tablet"

Do you mean you are having lag on HDMI? Because I think everyone misunderstood you here and think that you are having lag while using the touch screen. I don't have an HDMI cable to test your problem out though...
I run my tablet always on the balanced mode. I have never see any lag while swiping. In fact I am using multipic live wallpaper with random effects. Since last one week I am using Go Launcher HD Beta. Give a try with different launcher.

you shouldnt have to do that with the prime in my OP anyway. i mean if it fixes it great. but this thing should not have any lag as far touch screen flipping through home screens. i even cluttered my screens up last night after reading your post with pictures, and widgets and live wallpaper to have have as much going on as possible. and didnt see any lag on any cpu setting.
i would try and find a way of getting it replaced.
that would bug the hell out of me........
Live wallpaper? If you a live wallpaper such as the Asus Water ones it will lag a little bit especially when the animation is starting after you wake up your screen.

i didnt use that one. just simply because i do not like it.....but i will use that one to test with when i get to the house.
and he was only talking about flipping through home screens.....not the start up lag. so thats what i was reffering too.

Thanks alot Guys! I have returned my prime back to the service center.Furthermore, I tried out a Prime display set and noticed no lags whatsoever.
The lagging bothers me so much !
Hi Forum, I just got back my prime from Asus. It got it's motherboard replaced again. But i'm still finding lags and stutters ....I don't what is the issue..seems like Asus can't figure it out too.
Do you have any suggestions on what could it be ?
Build Number : 9.4.2.15
Kernel version 2.6.39.4
AnTuTu Benchmark v2.7.1 (In performance mode) : 10610
CPU frequency : 1600 MHz
your score seems right for your device. you have something going on in the background causing lag. try this. go into settings. then developer options. then turn of window and transition animations. then force gpu rendering. that should speed you up. although that's not required as my out the box setup was lag free, that will speed device up. as far as ui n such goes. do you have any oddball Widgets on homescreens or anything? also download a free app called system panel. it will show you what apps are running. this shows alot more than Asus task manager. if you see something running that's active, and you not using it or shouldn't be running, just kill it.

Hi Demandarin, thks for the suggestion. I tried it but there isn't any improvements. I just noticed one thing, there isn't any lag when I click on the sides...the homescreen shifts smoothly but whenever I swipe it across the screen, there's a very small stutter during the transition period.

Hi Demandarin, just one question...I launched system panel lite app, settings > Dev info > Under the CPU section : Processors/Cores : 4
SYSFS CPUs Present : 4
Processor : 3 << Is it suppose to be like this ?
both powersave and balanced modes limit the framerate to 35fps, it is not totally unreasonable that some people are able to see the difference, while the vast majority do not.

Notifications got changed, you can now do a gesture to show more info (more emails etc) - search on youtube.
Blocking mode added, new homescreen modes (easy mode for noobs)
Projectbutter forces the system to run at 60FPS everywhere, removing/reducing lag.
Google Now, better than S-Voice AND SIRI (check youtube).
More free RAM (check Task Manager)
I just installed JB with CM10 and besides some aesthetic modifications, specially in the notifications bar, nothing changed from CM9 with ICS. I guess with Stock ROMs it must be pretty much the same. And CM10 was a bit laggy sometimes so, seen the lack of differences, I went back to ICS:
All the hype on XDA has been from overexcited noobs .
JB is an incremental update nothing more .

JB is more than an incremental update, check the Google IO 2012 video on youtube for complete changes.
CM10 is laggy because of missing HWCOMPOSER sources from samsung, that means project butter and GPU acceleration don't work on CM10 and ROMs not based on samsung builds.
Thanks for the replies .... I'll go check out youtube .

In the s3 notifications have no JB gestures. Project butter is only partly here, not as good as on the nexus. Google now is here, but seems to drain a lot of battery. Other features that are supposed to be in JB: Android beam doesn't work with gallery (which is probably where you want to use it) the gallery is the same as ics and has none of the new gestures, it isn't connected with camera like on true JB. The For now only nexus users know what real jellybean is! I miss my nexus... Touchwiz is quite different from vanilla android and not in any useful or particularly better way!

You're right, I forgot about the 2 finger part! Well, at least we got that, another thing that's missing that I didn't mention is the throw to delete gesture on the homescreen, but a third party launcher can easilly fix that.

i'm on psycho aokp now and it's damn smooth to me, virtually no lags, unlike the prev aokp roms i've tried..

On-screen magnifying lens

Hi, I noticed some of the stock features built in the S3 are very laggy such as:
- On screen magnifying lens (attached screenshot) - laggy, zoomed text looks pixelated
- Contacts app starts up VERY slow, sometimes takes up to 5 seconds
- Gallery app is pretty slow also (when you first open it, either from the camera app or from the app drawer, it takes 2-3 seconds to start up each time)
- General scrolling lags for a split second quite often (eg scrolling through news feed on the facebook app, or zooming in text on a webpage then scrolling around while zoomed)
- Messaging app has a few seconds delay to start up also
I need any sort of advice, either 3rd party replacement apps or settings I can make to improve the user experience, anything at all really that will improve the issues mentioned above (Devoper-Animations have always been off).
I am currently running WanamLite ROM v6.2 (stripped even further) with another 10-15 apps such as Facebook, Whatsapp, Evernote, nothing pretty heavy. (tried different roms such as FoxHound 2.0 running 4.1.2, same issues, I also tried different ROMs based on android version 4.2 which had many other bugs, but the gallery was incredibly fast & smooth)
Many thanks.
Smart tools app has a pretty good magnifying glass built into it.

is this what you`re talking about ? because if so, I might have made myself misunderstood. I believe the magnifier glass built in the app is pretty much using the camera to zoom in then it focuses on whatever object you`re pointing the camera at.
I attached a picture as I should have done from the beginning. You can see which magnifier I`m talking about, and how pixelated the text looks.
it's just that no one wants to read your wall of text. explain your problem clearly in a couple of sentences
