Is anyone else experienceing worse browser and chrome surfing experences after the newest ICS update? I was under the impression that the buggs with the waiting dialog boxes and random crashes have gotten worse... Also i know chrome is a beta but its performace has also been worse since the update... I starting to wish i would have held off and waited for a more refined experience...
Anyone else having these issues? Or found a fix? I tried a search and followed a couple guieds about the gpu issue to no avail..
This is not a pitch for the browser I use because I think it is great (or maybe it is...)
I've used Dolphin browser HD and it only gets faster and faster. I'm running on .14 virtuous rom but it was fast even with stock.
I'd suggest you try that browser
yeah.. same here.. notice this more and more each day. some sites better then others. just thought is was maybe a html thing.
I never had browser issues before the update and now it closes all the time. Lags too. I'm just using stock but am going to try dolphin to see if it's any better.
I didnt use the pad for long on honeycomb but the lag is noticible.
as a matter of fact, the first comment i got from a friend who had a playabout on my prime (already on stock ics .14) was that the browser was laggy!
I also noticed that download bars keep flickering throughout the download! (esp apparent when downloading large files)
I just delete my browser's data ad cache from the Apps Menu and it definitely smoothed out a lot of browser issues I have been having since the ICS rollout. I have been using the browser over an hour now and haven't gotten a single "wait/close" error. Pages are also loading smoother.
Because mine sucks. It has reverted to locking up after every 2nd or 3rd page like it did on .11. On a positive note, this is the first update for me with absolutely no reboots, although I would rather have browser working properly again and deal with the 1 reboot a day I was having.
Anyway this isn't really here as a complaining thread, I'm just interested to see if this is commonly affecting people or if I should try a factory reset.
EDIT: sorry for the duplicate thread, I just found the other one that I somehow missed when I was scanning over the other thread topics in this section
Sigh, I got my first reboot AND browser lockup with this update lol. Its OK though between ics+ and chrome I'm fully covered. Reboot has happened once and lockups several times. How can I watch pron if my browser locks up? Answer that one Asus!

My browser has been slow also it keeps locking up and I have to close out of It and shut down the tasks then i am able to get back into it. .14 I didn't have any of these issues with the browser
i didn't noticed anything still same
but about update .15 was very fast
The freezing issue has went away using ics browser + for me. I have the C1 model if that matters.

mine is much much better and way more quicker,
However it seems that it now opens a new tab each time I click a link.
slightly annoying however I'll live with it for the extra speed.
I have almost zero browser freezing after the .15 update - been very happy with it
Browser is pretty good, fast and smooth, although i think once it locked up completely and forced a reboot. I dont have random reboots or anything i'm pretty sure that one was caused by the browser locking up.
Apart from that everything's fine. Oh youtube servers totally suck the last few days But that problem occurs on all my devices and for everyone around here...
My browser now sucks with .15. (BCOKAS)
- It's a lot slower.
- It freezes a lot
- It crashes.
- On .11 it was way faster, better and more stable.
- when I turn javascript off it's blazing fast.
Looking forward to .16
OK with ICS+, but Chrome crashed on my first use, second page after .15
Thanks for the input, sounds like I should try the ics+ browser. Chrome seems to be working really well right now for me, but it doesn't have flash which is kinda meh for me. I would really love to know why everyone has such different experiences with updates, but I would be shocked if there was a person alive that actually knew the answer...
My stock browser is the same with .15 as before...slow, becomes unresponsive to taps after a while, and crashes. I use Dolphin instead.
I just got mine a few days ago, updated to 15 as soon as i powered it on. My only issue with the browser is it will randomly close itself, no fc or anything. Otherwise no issues
ICS browser + is faster but has this strange scroll lag for me.
Going to try the new opera mobile version now. (has flash now)
I have had a bunch of issues with freezes and fc's as well don't know what gives

Have you guys tried going to settings -> apps -> find the browser app and clear its cache? It solved my problems.
I clear cache, cookies, forms, and passwords regularly. It doesn't matter. I have tried incognito so I don't have to do that but it doesn't make a difference. I also have desktop page checked.
Before 15 the only issue I had was GPS and Wifi wasn't stellar.
With 15 I now have reboots daily *sigh* and I also see a lot more "close/wait" popups (mainly in the browser).
My TP only rebooted once when i was on .11 firmware. Now im in .15 and it restarted 3x already. Always when i was in browser having multiple tabs open and watching some flash related stuff. There definately room for improvement
Tablet significantly slower with the latest update. Browsing is also much slower with more lockups. .15 was a massive step back for me as the previous one was working so nicely!
Sometimes when I fling a page down like Engadget, the scrolling seems smooth until it slows down and lags for a couple frames before stopping. Is there anyway to stop this? I have flash content turned off. The same page on my Nexus just seems so much smoother. I figured a Tegra 3 would be able to handle web page rendering a bit better.
The same thing happens for Nova Launcher, when I hit the apps drawer button, sometimes my Prime will be a little choppy rendering my apps. On my Nexus, it's always super smooth.
I'm running Jermaine's AOKP build, but it happens on any ROM I've tried to flash. Is there any particular reason why this is happening?

I wonder the same thing. I use AOKP on my droid Razr and it runs like a champ (and we aren't even using an ICS kernel yet LMAO!) but I have similar issues on my prime, even clocked at 4x1.8ghz.

Yeah, I don't think it should be necessary to overclock a quad-core Tegra 3 to 1.8Ghz just for that. I have my max clock set at 1.3Ghz, or 1.5Ghz if I'm feeling adventurous
Have you guys tried another other ROM to see if the browsing is better?
I am unable to try that as I am stuck with a locked bootloader (stupid unknown s/n that never got fixed properly in the RMA).
I've seen others complain about Internet browsing and just haven't experienced problems. My only complaint with browsers on the Prime and my GNex for that matter is poor flash performance and being forced to view web pages in mobile mode. I absolutely hate that. The hardware in my GNex and especially this Prime is more than capable of rendering full HTML. This tablet is faster than my daughters Netbook and faster than one of my laptops. I wish Google and developers would get with the program and deliver a full browser experience. I've been using Dolphin with my Prime and it seems to be the better browser I've tried so far. I can at least set it up so that it operates in "desktop mode" giving me full HTML browsing; however, it's still not as good as it should be. I like Chrome. I wish Google would give us tablet users the full Chrome experience. There's no reason not to have the full and complete browser at our disposal.

I'm beginning to think it is the Tegra 3/Nvidia optimizations. Not a good example but the HTC One X sure has a lot of browser issues.
Even though it doesn't have flash, Safari on the iphone/ipads sure are fast considering its many cores and mhz down. Software can make a big difference.

The fire in Diablo ad is smooth on my exynos Galaxy S2 while its slow mo on the Prime. Just like phonearena's video of the Galaxy Nexus(fast) vs One X(slow).

Is this something that can be fixed in future updates from Asus since they're the ones with access to the proper Tegra 3 drivers?
opera mobile solved all previous browser issues for me. smooth & fluid as a mofo. plays flash with no problems. loads pages the fastest. lag free scrolling. And all of this is on stock 1.2Ghz
It's not so bad for me. This is engadget full site. Taken with my phone camera so not the greatest and shows distortion and choppiness while recording. Overall very smooth browsing.

I would tend to agree with you but Opera has been crashing on me. I'll be browsing then bam....crash lol.Pisses me off.Also has problems running YouTube videos all the way thru too.I even uninstalled & reinstalled but no dice.It does load pages insanely fast though.

well, the reason for lag isn't the Prime or the browser. it is ics 4.03. memory intensive tasks like javascript are performed in the main thread rather then in several threads in the background. running in the main thread in the foreground (i think single core) means it locks up your machine. the other processes have to wait until the one foreground process is done. and it doesn't help the prime that its internal memory/sd card is rather slow (cheap).

running opera mobile with page rendering on a server means you skip the javascript handling on your device. that is why opera is / looks faster. I think Sony's engineers have solved the problem on their machines and I think it will be solved in ics 4.04

Could be the browser, have you tried other browsers instead of the stock one?
I found that on previous versions (.21 seems better) if i had too many icons on my homescreens scrolling between screens was slow, different launchers were faster.
The same way you can notice a difference running chrome and IE on a desktop you can notice differences in different apps on android. Its just a matter of finding ones that work how you want. Maybe nova launcher isnt for you, have you tried others? Maybe in your custom rom they tweaked something, maybe more adjustments need to be made.
You can't compare your Nexus and your Prime, they are two different beasts. One is a motorcycle and one is a car. Different processors, different GPU's, different screen sizes, Different browsers, differen launchers, hell even different versions of ICS. Yes they both run the same apps, and run genereally the same way, but they are very very different.

I'm talking about opera mobile, not opera mini. opera mini is the one sent through severs and compressed in all that to be extra fast. Opera mini is a stripped down non flash version of opera mobile. I run opera mobile with flash on and still does everything fast. I don't cut on the Turbo mode or anything so its the straight browser working. Regardless, for me, its by far the best. I hardly ever run into sites it doesn't display properly. I have like 6 of the top browsers. no matter how many times I switch to compare, opera mobile comes out on top.
So even if its true that opera servers handle page rendering. more kudos to them. less work for my prime to do and is probably a factor into why opera mobile also uses the least amount of battery out of all the ones I have. plus opera mobile is the only browser to let you upload files and pix from it. when downloading or uploading through it, its the only one that brings up a mini file explorer to let you choose which folder you want to save to. Im not talking about others where you have to go thru settings and choose a folder and every time it downloads to that folder. opera mobile brings up a file explorer that you can choose whatever folder you want for each individual download or upload. Plus opera mobile is the only browser that doesn't hang on huge downloads or mess them up by improperly labeling them. I've downloaded plenty of big movie and rom files(FPse) with no issue.
IMO, no browser is touching Opera mobile right now. they definitely know what their doing when it comes to making a great browser. I rarely get any pop up messages telling me to wait or crashing.
all extra info just F.Y.I
Funny, but when I continuously scroll page, or scroll with right bar – no lag or freeze. When i use standard finger swipe scrolling with timeouts (1 sec more than enough) - every new swipe starts with lag. I think cpu is drop down to sleep phase in browser somehow.

when i try opera mobile i always get a very stuttered scroll. is there a way to get rid of that? it loads the page fast and so forth, but the scrolling just sucks.
I have no problems of this kind. Browsing is very smooth for me, I used to have those lock ups, but it seems Boat browser solved my problems. I'm stock and I have forced 2d acceleration enabled.
I've tried all major browsers for Android 4(ICS), Chrome, Android default, DolphinHD, Mozilla Firefox (worst look for a browser ever) and all of them have same problem, while browsing the internet, browsers crashes, or like DolphinHD reports popup window sayin you wanna wait or close...
And most common issue is that when you want to scroll, move around the website, it doesn't move instantly but lags... or even don't move at all, waits for few seconds and then starts to move...
I have processor always on mid-level, although have tried Performance as best/faster option but always the same.
Internet connection is fast and Wi-Fi signal is perfect.
Does anyone else have this problem?
I would say that everyone has had this problem at one time or another. Please see this thread which is usually on the first page but has worked its way down a bit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597615
Check out that link. Many people have this problem. Some people have had luck with an app called browser2ram.
From my experience, the stock browser is garage. DolphinHD works well for me.
This is one of the areas that my ipad blows my TFP out of the water.
The stock browser on the ipad is snappy and smooth. Just no flash. Can't have everything I guess.
Clarification. The stock browser is garbage on the Prime because the Prime itself is garbage. Stock browser has been perfectly smooth and stable on my Galaxy Nexus since it launched.

Further (dissenting) clarification - stock browser can be smooth and stable. It is on my ATP. I prefer Dolphin, though, 'cos of the way the top address bar disappears when scrolling icreasing page space.
Ever since Honeycomb, the absolute biggest problem I've had with this tablet is the browser. It doesn't freaking stay open. No matter what browser I use, no matter if I'm running Honeycomb, ICS or Jellybean, the browser always crashes. And it's not a typical FC either; It just closes right back to Launcher.
I've been hearing that it's caused by some null pointer exception in JavaScript; But you mean to tell me between Android 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 4.0 - 4.0.4 and 4.1, 4.1.1, that this issue STILL isn't resolved? Not to mention, it only happens on tablets (Tegra 2 issue? Xoom has the same issue).
For me, it most notably happens when I'm browsing a Twitter page. In the past minute alone, I've had browser crash on my SIX times trying to load a page on Twitter. Let's make that 7 now.
So what the hell really causes this, and why won't it go away? My Sensation and myTouch 4G can browse just fine, and this temporary Galaxy S III works perfectly too, so what's with the tablet?
EDIT: Disabled JavaScript and set plugins to ondemand. Same damn result.
I've used the stock browser, Dolphin, Chrome, and Skyfire and none of them have ever crashed on me. Ever. Sounds like there is either something defective about your device perhaps your internet connection. A factory reset might help, as might going into applications, finding the Google framework and clearing data. Do the same for your browsers as well.
That's funny, I've noticed just the same thing. Browsers work terribly on this tablet.
With me, they only do crash sometimes – a lot more than on my HTC phone, though. But using browsers is a real pain, as they all feel kinda buggy, and I don't think it's their fault, since they all show the same "bugs". They're all kinda laggy. I've updated to ICS today and I was crying in emotion for being able to finally download Chrome, as it's the most stable one I've ever used in my phone, but I was disappointed when I noticed it too felt quite laggy. I'd rather go home and turn my Mac on than to struggle with web browsing on this tablet, honestly. I've tried many browsers –*stock, Dolphin, Boat, that other one with green icon, and also Skyfire or something.
If anyone has a better thing, or a solution, or anything, I bet there are many desperate people that would die to hear it.
(I know I sound more dramatic than I should, but let's face it, web browsing sucks in this device.)
I've never had any problem web browsing on my Tab. None. I'm not rooted, maybe that's why, or maybe it has to do with the sites you visit. Dunno.
On my tab with HC 3.2, the stock browser would also just disappear to the home screen, but not all that often.
I flashed to ICS, and the stock browser got a bit quirky. The address bar would no longer hide when I scrolled down
on a web page. Would stutter as if it was trying to hide but wouldn't.
Installed Dolphin and it worked fine.
I went back to HC 3.2 (had some other issues besides the browser) and so far the stock browser is working fine.

Dolphin does the same thing though, just a lot less frequently. Motorola Xoom users in a thread from a year ago reported this same problem (in a filled up 14 page thread), and several of users report the same exact issue. I'm gonna poll some more Tegra 2 sections and see if they suffer from the same thing but it looks like this is just another issue with this ****ty SoC, like the portrait mode lag.

Come on dude, I'd have to be rooted to be running Jellybean. And as everyone else has shown, it does seem to vary by website. Full pages on twitter ALWAYS crash, (they work once in a blue moon). Other times browser crashes when browser feels like it hasn't crashed in a while. I could get through a day perfectly, then bam, crash.
I'm not a dude.
I've never had a problem with any of the browsers I've tried, I think maybe you have a faulty tablet.

Yes Google.ca. The browser just shut down without a force close notice and opens blank. Plus it becomes non responsive, on pages that have a lot of javascript.

That specifically happens the second time. On the first crash, I'd relaunch and it would reload my pages, but 99/100 times it would crash seconds afterward. Upon opening it again, i get one tab with the Google homepage.

I'm biased because I've never had any problems with my browser crashing? Whatever. I also never "went crazy" over anything. All you do is complain and complain. Why not just get an iPad and move on?
I have tried several browsers also, and for me I really only have problems with chrome freezing (not force closing). It seems to be random, but happens more frequently when opening new tabs. However, the stock browser on the same sites seems to work every time. My guess is that it may be due to timeouts on the network connection or possibly memory related. And, it seems to be random... I may go a day without a freeze, then have two back to back freezes. Oh tegra2, why don't you behave?
Hey guys,
It's been almost a week since I flashed the stock ICS and installed Chrome. So far so good, no complaints. I'm really relieved, as I was almost giving up. Give it a try

Chrome is the way to go. The ability to create an account and sync all relevant browser data to your devices via the cloud - why hasn't anyone thought of this before? So obvious and useful.
I also strongly recommend trying out Boat Browser, which is highly underrated. Smoother and smarter layout than Dolphin and the best alternative to Chrome, IMO.

Chrome acts really weird on JB. I'm still running pershoot's 8/4 build but I'll be updating and trying out Chrome again. Last time I tried it I would always get a white page while switching tabs, and scrolling was odd. Browser does a much better job but Chrome has too much nice functionality lol

I doubt it's memory relate, it happens a lot with 1 tab open, and with a full Gig of RAM, browsing should be painless when it comes to memory management, not to mention, but Android's memory management scheme is the most beautiful thing I've seen. Tabs and apps actually know how to stay open, and Android knows what to close. Works a lot better than any tablet I've used, even better than crapple's iPad.
