Hi,
I'm running the latest CM7 with my Optimus 2X, and is using the stock browser. I am having problem with dropdown menus in the browser, especially with my airliners site, www.sas.se. As you see in the image below, all dropdown menus look really funny. I have also tried Dolphin browser, Firefox and I think one more, but they all look the same. Is it the website that is badly coded, or is it a general Android issue? As it is right now, it is impossible to choose anything in any dropdown menus because they don't respond to clicks.
Can anyone check if they have the same problem? Anyone who has a solution?
Thank you in advance,
I am able to select items from the drop down menus on that site with no problems.
Stock rom with Dolphin browser. Can't help you with a fix though. Sorry.

Ok, thank you for answering my post. Wondering if it is something in CM7? Will look more into it.

Dropdowns work fine in Firefox for me.
Stock CM7 browser fails though.

Good find! Dropdowns work with Firefox!
But...... Nothing else on that specific site... It won't autocomplete the cities when writing, and it won't (sometimes) show the calendar so it is impossible to change days, which means the ordering system fails...
Thank you for the inputs, everyone!

can some one find a fix for jpo browser ? still the browser is much lags much when flash is on so some one do have a fix for it ? other roms like jp6 has a fix but anyone has the fix for this
The only "fix" that i did was installing Opera mini as the default browser.At least is faster and its free.Just saw the omnia 7 windows mobile phone surfing the net with amazing speed.Just dont understand why on android its so awfull
Because there is no flash right now on winphone7.
Its because wp7 has a crippled browser that does not support everything the stock webkit browser can do. Read all the reviews on wp7 and you'll see them all dislike it. Also can't you use the libwebkit.so file from galaxy tablet fix.

It didn't work on old JPA, probably wont work now too.
The only "fix" is to switch off flash. And switch it on only when you need it.

Speaking of JPO problems:
- my browser wont work at all. Gmail is ok, Market as well and when I start typing in the browser I see the suggestions, but it doesn't load anything.
Any ideas?
The browser really sucks in froyo

This is a UK question. As iplayer might not work in other countries.
www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer
Has anyone got the bbc iplayer to play the video? All I get is a green box, the audio plays ok.
I have tried a hard reset but its still the same. I'm using Flash 10.1 from the Android market.
Help please people..... ?!?!?
Same here on 2.3.1 using stock browser. I only get sound and the green screen. Flash re-installed and a reset still no luck.

When did you update to 2.3.1?
I'm trying to work it out if the people that have it working installed Flash 10.1 when they were still running 2.3.0

I also have same issue with my Nexus S. My nexus one is working fine.
This is most strange. Can we have a poll on who has iPlayer working on their Nexus S and what updates you have done Eg. 2.3.0 installed flash then updated to 2.3.1
My phone was updated to 2.3.1 the moment I first turned it on
me too! green screen,sound ok running 2.3.1 Flash installed.
Try skyfire or change user agent.

Working fine on 2.3 after installing flash 10.1 from the market.
Would be far more useful if we could download the profs though for me as with the Nokia offering.

Has your phone offered you the 2.3.1 update yet?
If so let me know if it works after you have done it

I take it you have done the 2.3.1 update? I am trying to work out if it's the update which the Flash Player doesn't like.
Same issue as well. Nothing but a green screen on iplayer and even a few YouTube videos.
Android 2.3.1 and Flash player 10.1 installed from market.

Was that using the Youtube app pre installed or via the web browers?
There is a fix for the iplayer Thanks to ryude, sporran and others for this:
Go to google.com and in the URL bar, type; about:debug then hit go.
Not much happens but press menu button/more scroll to bottom, hit settings and scroll to bottom, you should have some extra settings, tick the box at Normal Rendering and click on UAString ,choose Desktop. Exit and that's it. BBC Iplayer will now play without a green screen.

thanks it plays but with unacceptable quality - too many pauses (resolution too high?) and not fitting the screen well.
while with the android UAString, the screen loooked nicely formatted
I guess we'll need to wait for a fix

The fix has arrived - today's flash player update solves the issue.
I notice that on some websites, including the Google Android developer website, scrolling doesn't work using default browser, Xscope, and Dolphin.
Is there any fix for this?

I've run into this on several sites on both the Tab and my Dinc. What I do is zoom in or out just the smallest bit, and then I can scroll all over the place without issue.
I have this issue a lot with Outlook webmail, CNN, Forbes, my local TV stations and New Egg. I do NOT have this problem on ebay, Fox, and youtube. Very strange.

Thanks. I'll give that a try and post back.

Interesting. I can't scroll at all either. I'm testing the standard browser and dolphin on Vegan. The page does scroll just fine on my Dinc running Sky Raider Athena. Not sure why.

It's kind of funny (in an ironic way) that that's a Google site (Google ==> Android) ...
I also tried default, Dolphin, Miren and Xscope. Same on all of them. I thought that Xscope had the best chance of working, because the developer says that Dolphin and Miren are based on default (Webkit, I think), but no luck there.
What is "Dinc" and "Sky Raider Athena"?

Droid Incredible running the Sky Raider Athena ROM. I also tried the OMGB ROM and the age scrolled ok. So I'm not sure why the G Tab won't scroll right.
But yeah...it is funny that its an android site causing problems.

Was that ROM Froyo/2.2? Maybe that's the difference? I kind of think that those pages have a log of Javascript and stuff like DHTML, so maybe the engine that is handling either of those in Froyo is messing up?

Webpage scrolling issue solved(at least in my case)
I know this reply is to an old post, but I recently found a solution to this issue, as I was experiencing the same problem with multiple browsers. Many webpages simply would not scroll without zooming in & out or rotating my phone(Droid 4). The problem in my case was solved by Unchecking/Disabling the "Auto-Fit Webpages" option. This has worked for me using the default browser in Android 4.04 and Dolphin browser as well. I do not see this option in firefox, but firefox seems to not have this issue as predominately as other browsers. Hope this post helps someone!
it works great!! super fast
download: www.opera.com/mobile/download/versions/
choose Opera Mobile 11 -- android 1.6+
It is fast and damn smooth on sites like xda. Couldn't find how to turn flash on though. Like the "quick dial" bookmarks. Thanks for the heads up on this.
Flash is working for me on cnn.com
flash
flash is working on me sites like teamcoco.com CNN.com etc! 10.2 version
tip: turn off status bar for full screen view!
I've been using x -scope until now. using opera now
liking it alot.
feels faster.
Couldn't find setting to enable Desktop UserAgent, tried about:debug but no go, going back to Miren Browser for now

between opera, firefox and dolphin? which one you guys prefer?

I tried this one last night and couldn't keep it because I just couldn't scroll with it, even after a calibration fix (on tnt lite 4.2.5) so I'm back to using dolphin.
I tried firefox as well and I liked it at first, but I started missing little things from dolphin like the new long press feature, so I went back again.

Dolphin HD and mini feel choppy compared to Opera. HD can't paste in text boxes, and is quite ugly. Mini can't select text. HD has best text selection.
Never tried firefox cause I can't see it in the market.
Opera has some slight rendering issues on some web sites, but not enough to break them. It looks very good too.
So far, I like Opera best.
Hi has anyone managed to get flash player to work on their ONE? I tried installing flash player from this thread but it doesn't work. It did work for me before when I had my one-x........

Is it needed? The stock browser has it built in, just select "Enable Flash Player" in the browser menu.
Sorry if I've missed the point of your post.
It comes preinstalled on the phone dude
Even if it's on the phone it's been blocked in certain browsers; i.e. Dolphin. There are threads that indicate certain versions of dolphin work but they didn't work for me. Also, I've read Chrome doesn't support flash but I don't know if they ever did. I've found Opera to be a good alternative for me.

Chrome has never supported flash on Android. If I need flash, I just use the stock browser most of the time.
I have no idea why but I have a mental block about using the stock browser. I try it and have no issues but just can't commit to it...
