Feels like over the last month my cm9 has become much slower, especially when loading web pages. Applies in all browsers, but also some apps.
Dolphjn browser has also become buggy and annoyjng.
Does cm9 store some system cache/temp files i should clear? (i dont mean thecache in eachbrowser)
Thx all!
Maybe give cache cleaner ng a try?

Why don't you try flashing one of the more recent nighties? And why don't you use chrome?

chrome
found chrome to be a bit buggy, havent found my ideal browser.
mostly been using dolphin, though it tends to load web pages as blank and i have to press reload
stock browser tends to randomly close
chrome drives me nuts as i cant get tabs to close!!
opera seemed weird
maxthon took to long
will try cache cleaner apps! thx, never thought of looking for one
I had that aswell....was using cherrykang for a month or so and it just started slowing down and giving me wifi problems. On top of that if the tablet went to sleep sometimes it wouldn't wake up until i reset it.
Finally i gave up and flashed classicnerd
not having any issues here with my firefox browsing on the latest CM9 nightly.
maybe it's the internet connection?
will try firefox
connection is ok, the whole tablet slows right down, you can see it drawing the various sections of a webpage.
My touchpad has definitely slowed down lately. Both quadrant and Antutu benchmark have dropped considerably. I run the unofficial nightlies, and have the CPU set to 1.7 max, 384 min
I've noticed a very slight improvement the last couple of days.
My thought on this is that it's something I've installed. Too lazy to search it out.......
Edit : ICS Browser+ works great for me.
I guess I haven't noticed the slowdown. I use the unofficial nightlies and i think my TP has been running better than ever. I use Chrome as my browser and haven't had any problems.
What kind of issues do you get with chrome?
Also does anyone know of any Web browser benchmarks for mobile devices? I know certain companies claim their browser loads pages x% faster than others browsers. Just curious more than anything.

Folks,
Be sure to grab the new Chrome Beta in the play store that fixes many of the issues we've had with Chrome on the Nexus 10.
Don't expect UI or UX changes in this beta. This is the first build available now that the Chrome for Android team has most everything upstreamed to the open source Chromium project. This build should feel faster due to optimizations for touch and bug fixes. There's still quite a bit of work to improve fluidity of the UI as seen here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/i...r+Summary&x=mstone&y=releaseblock&cells=tiles
I suspect Chrome will improve a good deal faster than it has in the past now that it has been open sourced and the Chrome for Android team can focus on things other than upstreaming the project.
cant find it when i search the play store

I installed it, but whenever I opened the settings it would crash (from a null pointer exception). OK, so it has some bugs still, that's to be expected. However, now when I open the settings for the stable chrome app, it crashes with the same problem. I sent crash reports to Google for both cases, but does anyone know if the two versions interfere with each other and if there might be something I have to delete from the drive to make it work? I'm rooted, so doing that should be pretty simple.
Edit: sorry, this was on my nexus 4. But if anyone has any ideas, that would be great.
Edit 2: nvm, looks like it was a ROM issue.
How does it compare to stock s3 browser? Only had 5 minutes with it and about to sleep so can't test it but noticed within seconds it's amillion times faster and smoother than the last stable chrome which is s brilliant sign. Would love chrome to be Good enough to be my default browser on the s3 (and ipad) again ASAP.

I'd say it loads/renders pages noticeably faster, but it seems a little choppier with scrolling - a worthwhile tradeoff imo.
Very, very fast.
But for me, the main issue now Is NO FULL SCREEN mode.
Come on Google.
Anyone using the new beta have it freeze up - requiring a reboot of your N10? Sadly, this happens to me 2-3 times per day, especially if I'm browsing Chrome while listening to music (Google or Pandora). I'm going to give it a try regardless, just curious as to what others are experiencing.
I loaded up theverge.com on the new Chrome Beta then on Ocean browser,
Ocean browser is still MUCH faster to load and scroll,
Chrome beta still redraws all graphics when scrolling like my old xoom, YUCK!
Some sites is still clunky, but others is not a problem.
Video review + benchmarks - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azNB4QKm8Ag&feature=youtu.be
Page load times are indeed faster but scrolling is much slower than building chromium yourself. My guess is there are a few things still disabled in the beta build that are enabled in the chromium source.

Doesn't kill battery as much as the other one. However zooming doesn't adjust text size so kind of useless from that point of view.

Chrome needs so much work to be competitive with other offerings its sad.
I ran the Chrome beta a bit yesterday, but it only took about 25 minutes for it to freeze up and force me to reboot my Nexus 10. I don't know how prevalent this is with the beta, but it appears to still be an issue. I've gone back to using AOSP browser.
Chrome still freezes and locks the N10. Have to reboot so the software update didnt change this for me. I will just stick to Dolphin as I get no freezes using that browser.

Can you reproduce the crash? I've used Chrome, on 4.2.2, and have had no crashes (I don't even think I had any crashes in the past either).

Same.. Never a crash on 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 and I've always used Chrome..
I think it might just be my device as I got freezes with chrome from the day I bought it. I stop using Chrome and lockups stopped. Just got the update two days ago and I used Chrome for the first time and the first website I went too and was reading an article, it froze up and I had to do a hard reset. I'm all stock and not rooted.

returned?
I haven't had any crashes or any issues that everyone else has had. Maybe its because I waited to buy my nexus 4 and nexus 10 until February but if I did experience any of those issues I would have returned the device. Why bother with it? That's just my two cents but thank god I haven't had any issues, Yet!! And hopefully I never do
No need to return as I perfer Dolphin anyways, which solved my problem. I bought it from Staples in Jan. and would have been easy to return if I chose too.

Mine crash like nobody business using chrome at 4.2 or 4.2.1
The problem was fix for me after running 4.2.2, by the way I am using latest chrome beta as it perform much better.
Odd, got mine in November and have never had a chrome crash/freeze or hard restart. Admittedly, my average use is less than 3 hours daily, but still...

Did you try the newest Chrome beta?
Chrome still crashes for me.
I have Chrome neatly frozen with Titanium Backup since I got the N10 (I had terrible experience with it on my phone). Never had any problems related to it.
This thread begs my question. I am using Chrome Beta but what do you do with the native Chrome? I have both installed because it seems like Chrome is pretty well integrated into the system and there isn't a uninstall option.
I could freeze it but don't want it to cause any issues.
Any thoughts or experiences?

I use Chrome beta, and have had 1 hard-freeze in Chrome in approx 20 hours use since the upgrade to 4.2.2. Being the beta version of Chrome it can occasionally crash also, but its not too often this happens now either. I don't mind Chrome crashing every few hours as its only a 3 second job to press the button on my homescreen with my tabs still loaded when it re-opens, but freezes are not cool.
Before that, I was on cyanogenmod and Chrome would get a freeze every 5 hours or so.
Only had occasional freezes in Chrome beta since early December. In over 100 hours uptime since installing 4.2.2 I've only used Chrome (not beta!) and had zero lagging, zero freezes and no reboots.
... beamed from my Nexus 10 to your planet
I was having major problems with chrome after 4.2.2 it was just being sluggish and locking up for seconds or more at a time, rebooting seems to fix it and the problem is intermittent.
I have always had lock up and restart problems in chrome on my Nexus 10. I cannot see a particular repeatable browser action and/or site that causes the lock up, but the process is always the same:
Browsing, chrome hangs, screen buttons freeze, and after multiple screen touches the device will shut down and restart.
Happens perhaps 3-4 times a week
I have also had it lock up like that one time while using the cameras, but only once. I have owned the device since launch.

I had crashes several times per day with Chrome (beta and stock)and 4.2.1. I've had zero crashes under 4.2.2 with Chrome beta. I haven't tried the stick version under 4.2.2.
I used to continually have issues with chrome locking or rebooting. Not sure if it was the change to 4.2.2 or the fact I finally bit the bullet and rooted then installed Seeder and LagFix Free but I haven't had a lock up since and things seem to be running faster than ever!!!! Still stock rom and kernel
I still get crashes with 4.2.2, but it's much reduced compared to 4.2.1. I used to be getting several a day and now it's every couple days.
For those with issues, have you performed a factory reset?
Hi all.
Bought a 2nd hand Nexus 10 last Friday. Anyway, while getting round to rooting my device today I used a number of browsers over the weekend. I used Chrome, Dolphin and Firefox.
First off Firefox seemed to have rendering issues on web pages and scrolling was juddery. Dolphin had blank spaces with web pages and also had juddery scrolling. Chrome crashed my device
I have just installed AOSP browser and web browsing is now super fast. I am a long time fan of AOSP browser and so glad to have it on my device now. Pages load up in milliseconds. Rendering is perfect. Scrolling is silky smooth. I can now feel the power of the A15 cpu's.
Why Google persist with Chrome I will never now.
Long live AOSP browser!

Well chrome is a lot more improved in 4.3 update. No crashes and faster loading but i also still prefer aosp browser. It seems smoother still.

I still feel AOSP better than chrome in 4.3, not sure about chrome beta.
TBH I was using Chrome Beta when I had the reset. But I have read that Chrome can also cause this on the N10.
I did like Chrome originally but it just seems to have got progressively worse. Performance was bad on my Nexus 7 and that's what caused me to try AOSP again and I loved it. I also put it on my Nexus S because Chrome was just unusable on that phone.

Never had quite as much trouble as everyone else with Chrome, but it certainly is no speed king. The big reason people would use Chrome is for the value-add features, such as tab syncing.
Tab syncing? I rarely used that but it's a neat feature. I certainly wouldn't sacrifice everything that AOSP brings to the table just for that one feature.

For me, it's a make-or-break. Password syncing would have been nice too before I switched over to Dashlane, but it's why I'm somewhat eyeing a switch to Firefox as desktop Chrome has started behaving erratically for me. I try to use one piece of software whenever I can, so Chrome having much of what I wanted built in ruled out the AOSP browser as my default.

I think he means the ability to see what was just open on the tablet from say a phone or PC and continue browsing.. heck even back button history is there to use as well... very handy when swapping out devices like I do. I'll deal with the minor annoyances for that feature.

As above, I mean tab syncing. I don't use bookmarks anymore (haven't for a long time), so that feature is sadly useless to me on any browser that offers it. Being able to pick up my browsing session roving from device is important when you have around seven.
Yeah I understand. Chrome to phone. To me that is a feature I rarely use.
Dude why do you need 7 devices on the go at the same time ?

I use Dophin. Everything working fine. No problems at all.
You may also want to try Boat Browser.
Aosp is the best. However when I want to use a site like rapidshare etc I use opera as in the other browsers it doesn't download.
Second for dolphin.
The only thing that really keeps me on dolphin is the startup screen. All my favorite websites a touch away.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Dolphin, Boat, and pretty much any browser in the Play Store are just skins over the AOSP rendering engine. Performance is either going to be the same or slightly slower than AOSP because they add a little bloat on top. The only exceptions are Chrome, Firefox, and Opera - those three use their own custom rendering engines and show significant performance differences. But at the moment, they all seem to be much slower than AOSP.
I'm kind of torn on the issue.
I prefer Chrome's UI and features. The smoothness advantage of AOSP browser isn't big enough to make up for that for me.
I find scrolling is handled better by Chrome as well. If you scroll quickly, AOSP browser can't keep up rendering the page and just starts showing the page background. Chrome can keep up better and will generally render it, although at a lower quality until you stop scrolling. I find that preferable as well.
It's a shame Chrome isn't as smooth, especially when zooming. It can really diminish the experience.
I used Naked Browser myself. Though installed I rarely use Chrome and Ocean Browser.
I was a long time user of dolphin until about 2 months ago. Memory leak issues, FC's... I then transitioned to boat, but for some reason that had issues rendering pages that would lead to FC's. I've been using AOSP for about 1 week and it's been hassle free so far.

Chrome to phone involves another add-on and it's not quite as useful as tab syncing for my uses.
And who said anything about needing? Some people spend discretionary income on beer or cars; I choose to collect shiny electronics instead and tinker around with them. It also comes in handy for when a friend breaks something and I can supply a lending unit for a while until their warranties catch up.
I cant figure this out. My Xperia Tablet Z is perfect except for this issue. ANY browser I try, it starts out working buttery smooth, but after a few hours without the browser being closed and restarted, scrolling starts to become laggy, there starts to be text input lag, etc. Ive tried a lot, but Id rather not try a factory reset. Have a lot of stuff on it. Anyway.
Ive noticed a trend. When initially starting a browser, it takes up about 50 mb of ram. After using a browser for a while (even with a single tab open and never opening over 1 tab), the bowser grows in size until it takes up hundreds of mbs of ram. Next browser was taking up 400mb of ram and lagging horribly after a few hours before I restarted it, after taking up 50 mb of ram when initially opened.
Any ideas? This happens with chrome, dolphin, next, firefox, UC, etc, etc, etc.
I use Boat Browser and I have no lag issues

Have you tried Maxthon? It can be quirky, but it seems pretty quick to me. Also supports side-loaded Flash.

Thanks floor the help but I have a theory. I turned off JavaScript in chrome and the memory leak no longer occurs.chrome uses around 100 of ram but doesn't increase like it used to.also no lag. Why would java cause the issues? Do I need to download an updated version or something?
