I never had this with the stock browser but noticed it immediately after upgrading to Touchwiz KMB. It happens very often. I have to click on a link many times for it to actually load. Anybody else experiencing this problem? I'm using Starburst ROM.

I think the browser is slower to load a page than stock...also it crashes everytime when i click on a drop-down menu
It's not lagging or slow. Links just don't start loading and I have to click on them multiple times.
i dont experience this problem on any websites except Blackboard for school. I used to not be able to download anything with the stock browser from that website but with the touchwiz update I can by clicking slightly below the actual link but it still takes a couple of tries. If you use opera it allieviates the problem
I don't want to use Opera or any other 3rd-party browser. I don't know why I'm the only one to experience this (it seems). It's not a touchscreen problem since the link blinks showing that it's been clicked but just not loading. Guess I'll reflash Starbust, if that doesn't work, I'll just go back to stock 3.1.

Anyone else experiencing this?
On the stock ICS browser, I'll load up a page and while it loads, I cannot scroll until it is nearly done loading... this sometimes takes up a few seconds but it grinds the tablet itself to a halt until it's done.
It affects other apps such as Pulse as well. Did Google/Asus/Nvidia change the way that the browser loads? For example, one could move around freely in the browser and would get a checkerboard pattern and it loaded that section on the fly.
*Problem does not seem to affect Opera...but that has it's own set of issues...

I am having the same problem with my stock browser.
Yup. Only happens in stock ICS browser
I've noticed that it also happens in the ICS+ browser (not surprising) but doesn't seem to happen at all in Opera.
Also, if I set Pulse to use Opera as its rendering engine..it seems to work fine.
It's a VERY annoying issue though since I prefer the stock browser other than that issue. If I press anything while the stock browser is in that open state I get the message:
"Browser is not responding. Would you like to close it?"
With the options of "Wait" and "Ok"
I haven't tried Dolphin yet but since it basically seems to be a skin for the stock browser, I would imagine that it would happen there as well.
Hopefully Asus will see this and fix in an upcoming update.
**Also, I tested the Stock browser on the Galaxy Nexus and it did NOT have this issue. I worked wonderfully**

I have the same issue. I think it is in all stock Android browsers. My Viewsonic G-Tab running Vegan-tab Gingerbread edition did exactly the same thing. I think there is some javascript or flash that is trying to load in the background of the page and is timing out. Usually, if I hit Wait on the pop-up dialog, it instantly frees up. Annoying, but normal on flash-heavy pages. You kind of get used to it after a while.
Anyway, it isn't isolated to ICS, the Prime or Asus for that matter. Not sure why the Nexus would be different, except that maybe it is seen as a 'phone' and the Prime is seen as a 'tablet' or 'desktop' in the user agent string.

I never experienced it on the original Transformer running stock Honeycomb or my old Archos 70 running Froyo. While they did sometimes stutter through the pages, they never literally froze my tablet in place for 5 seconds while loading up a page. At worst I would get the checkerboard pattern as things loaded up or the browser would simply force close.
With 4 cores, I'm surprised that a browser could even have this type of effect. I did try enabling the force cpu usage in development options to see if anything made sense to me but unfortunately it made 0 sense to me. Hopefully someone a lot smarter than me can figure it out.
I am having the same exact issues. Any fixes?

yeah...switch to opera...
Definitely an ICS browser bug as I never experienced this with Honeycomb. Hopefully we'll see a new Asus update soon.
I have exactly he same issue... I hope there will be a update. Guess I'm going to use opera for now
Same thing here been using Opera it's hella annoying.
Same issue here. Hope they fix it soon. Also my keyboard stops responding in the browser a lot, particularly in google predictive searching.
The fix is coming. Asus knows about all the ICS problems and a fix is coming Mid to Late February.
The topics are stickied on the General area of the Prime.
This may resolve Random Freezing during Page Loads
Please see if this solves this issue for you

I've noticed it happens when the browser tries to load something at the same time another app is loading something.
Has there been a permanent fix determined yet?
I get this a lot, and while the cache/data deletion trick works for a while, within about 2 or 3 hours of use, the problem comes back...
I couldn't find a thread about this.
At times when I open a web page with lots of content (images) the page will be loaded just fine until it is almost done. Everything is fine and I can scroll the page. Then it will just freeze until I get the dialog "Browser not responding" asking if I want to close it. However, instantly when I choose "Wait" the browser becomes responsive again and finishes loading the page.
Lately this has been happening a lot more frequently. About every 5th time I load a big web site. Sometimes it happens even here, but it is quite rare.
I've tried this with other browsers and they behave almost exactly the same way, except they freeze for a shorter period of time and it never gets to the "App not responding" dialog. But they will still be frozen for multiple seconds during which I can't scroll the page.
During the freeze none of the Android buttons work but music playing in the background plays without any errors.
This has really started to irritate me so I wanted to know if others are experiencing this.
This far and away my biggest problem with the Prime. I really hope this gets fixed.
Same problem here.
I thought it was related to the common freeze/reboot issue addressed by the latest patches, but it is still occurring with patch .15 (just had one loading this thread).

If you prefer to use the stock browser, download ics browser + from market.
Same as stock but with more features. Works flawlessly on my prime.
My friend also have this problem. Also with the ics+ browser. It works flawlessly on chrome though, so maybe flash is the problem?

No, even if you block flash on the stock browser, this problem randomly happens ... it looks like a problem with Stock and ICS+ browser (well ICS+ uses pretty much the same code base I think), but doesn't happen in other browsers as far as I can tell.
So most probably it's a problem with the stock browser !
For me it happens even if I don't have Flash installed.
It happens with Dolphin browser as well. Haven't noticed it in Opera.
Chrome is a bit different. Occasionally when you scroll down while it is still loading you only see white until after some time it starts to fill the page again. I think it could be related because the duration is pretty much the same as with the freezing issue.
My biggest frustration also.. figured it was possibly related with all the reboot issues also but still happens regardless of what browser I try and I have tried all of them.. I hope this get fixed soon..
That was my biggest complaint about the Prime... Browsing was just not fun because of this. I switched to Dolphin and it's much better.

You are lucky.. Dolphin no better here and just switched to chrome to post this after Dolphin closed out afterward and happened on chrome.. Please Asus fix this.. main reason I have a tablet is to surf! It is very tiring
from my experience all the browsers (ICS, ICS+, Firefox, Dolphin, Boat, Opera) have flaws, even Chrome Beta which still doesn't recognize the Function keys on the Keyboard dock and somehow interprets a character return when you try to enter an uppercase "B" on the dock.
At this point, I rather Microsoft get involved and just put up an Internet Explorer for Android. All the other browser alternatives have flopped hard to deliver. It would be an ironic twist if a IE for Android just simply worked. (not to mention the Silverlight and Flash support )
yup
Ditto here. Biggest complaint about the prime for me, too... after WiFi and GPS.
I think I've had this happen to me on every browser I've tried. Dolphin, chrome, ics, boat...

I get the same thing. Figured it was just me.
My biggest annoyence by far, I've got this problem with all browsers on a regular base and it's a big problem that needs to be fixed quickly.
Same problem here even after latest update.
I also noticed this before. The strange thing is that with the same site, on different times, I sometimes do have this problem, and sometimes I don't.
I have same problem the browser freez and chrash and sometimes i get force close
Me too.
I have had the same problem on all the 4.0 builds. With stock, dolphin and chrome browser.
Did a factory reset after .15 update, no better.
The ics browser on my phone does not freeze. Seems its a prime thing. Anyone notice this behavior on any other ics devices?

Any fix on this? Very frustrating for me.
When browsing, browser tend to zoom-in by its self.
and I cannot make it zoom out.
Many months ago, when custom roms are still new, this is the reason why I go back installing stock rom.
Now I install leedroid gingerbread, it is still the same.
Thanks.

Have you tried to see if the problem are the same with other browser? With stock browser or something like Opera and Chrome?
I'm running the excellent Toldo P7510 JellyBeanRom ICS v6 but I'm having problems with opening links in browsers using desktop useragent. For instance if I go to digitalspy I can't open ANY links by short clicking them. If I long click them and then select 'Open in a new tab' it opens fine. This is true for Dolphin and stock browsers.
However if I change the useragent to Android then it all works fine.
I also sometimes have a problem where the back button doesn't work as expected. Pressing it once refreshes the screen to the same page. If I press it many times in succession it will eventually go back a page (or more)
Anyone else experience these problems
Is nobody else having this problem? It's driving me bonkers!
I've hat the same errors. but two days ago I switched to this kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877784
and till now I don't recognized this error. anymore. maybe it's an issue of the A1 Kernel Toldo uses in his v6 rom.
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app
Thanks marco.michel, I tried the new kernel but it behaves the same for me. However I managed to fix the link problem by disabling javascript in the browser settings. Still have the intermittent 'back' button problem though.
Just realised that disabling javascript breaks a lot of web pages that use it to function properly so that's not an option.
Anyone else on ICS having this problem with links not opening? Can people try going to digitalspy and click a few links for me, would be interested to know if t's just my tab or a general problem.
I've been on a few different Touchwiz roms and this seems to happen in all of them occasionally. I will click on a link in the browser (Any browser no matter which one) and it will highlight it like I pressed it correctly but then never load requiring me to long press and click open or open in new tab. Anyone know what causes this? It was like this on stock, beans and cleanrom. It does load very quickly when I click open but it will occasionally not open unless I long press and click open.
That happrns to me sometimes to..i dont know what it is either sometumes i think its just the link being weird

For me its not just a minor issue. It just straight up won't work on some sites requiring me to long press everywhere. Been like this since I got the phone. Figured it was some quirky touchwiz thing but it happened on aosp as well.
So after messing around with different browsers, the website I have the most trouble on is gamefaqs.com in that I can never click links to get around unless I long pres them and click open. Trying different browsers, it doesn't work on Chrome, The stock touchwiz browser or boat browser but does work on Firefox and UC Browser (Neither of which I am interested in).
So what could it be causing it I wonder?
