Stock browser problems? - Galaxy Tab 8.9 General

I've had a problem with the stock browser in HC3.2 with TW for the last week: it will not load webpages; the blue progress bar will extend a short amount of up to half at most and not go any further. The Dolphin browser works perfectly, has anyone had a similar problem? Could an app I installed in the last week or 2 cause the issue?

Same thing for me even uder ICS ... really weird

My i957 browser was acting whacky for me also. Seemed like pages took forever at times.
I wound up doing the browser upgrade in the following link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510099
On another note it also look'd to fix a possibly memory leak in the stock browser. Not sure about it but once I did the above tweak my memory usage went way down also. Strange but true for some reason. Dropped about 80-90mb's of memory usage for some reason.
Wanted to thank the poster in the link above but gotta get my post count up enough to thank the developers for their hard work!

I tried the browser today and the problem seems to have resolved itself?!

[Q] Occasional music lag

Hi.. I have a question regarding music stutter issues with my Bell i9000. On the stock music player. Im currently running android 2.1 stock rom, rooted and one click lagfixed. I noticed it happens when im doing cpu intensive tasks, aka a bunch of things running at the same time.. For the time i wrote this thread it happened twice. I just wanted to know whether this is normal or if someone else experiences the same.
also. . When i download applications from the market, after the download finishes the phone becomes barely responsive and only goes back to normal when the message 'successful indtalation of -APPNAME-. This usually lasts from 10 to 20 seconds, and it happens almost everytime.
Would greatly appreciate if anyone could link me some useful info regarding flashing as i am a complete noob.
Thanks in advance
any ideas anyone
I have the exact same issue you described so I assume it is "normal" in a way. I'm guessing it is linked to the crappy RFS file system, have you tried a lagfix?
same experience too.

yes... I have the One Click Lag Fix by RyanZA.. it helped with general lag, but i still suffer from slowness at times, and music stuttering.
no one else has this issue?
I have occasional stutters too. so I went back to my iPod, lol.

[Q] Nookiefroyo on eMMc 6.6, web fields type slowly?

Tried out the new nookie froyo and overrall it runs great. Lower quadrants but not really a big deal.
For some reason when I use a browser and start typing in a field (for instance a password field for my colleges website), it lags incredibly slow. Its almost as if the keyboard is lagging, but this isnt a problem in other fields, such as the URL.
Such a big problem I had to uninstall back to eclair.
Installed with Iomonsters, clockwork from the market, used stock kernel, OC kernel, nothing made a difference. Disabling haptic feedback made a small help, but still unusable.
Anyone else getting this problem?

You know, I really have no idea why this happens, but I had a similar experience. The first few hours I was running Froyo 0.6.6 it was kinda slow and laggy. But after a few reboots and couple of hours of running it was extremely fast. So all I can suggest is try putting up with it for a day or so and rebooting it every couple of hours. For me it runs extremely smoothly and much faster than eclair now.
Going to try. Ugh why cant I just leave this thing alone.
Just keep using it, it will speed up after a few reboota

I am about 12 hours in and at least 6 reboots now and still the problem is unresolved. Seems to be exasperated on webpages with large images in the background.
All in all I think .59 felt alot more stable then 6.6 and 6.7. Think I will either go back to eclair or try Honeycomb till a better froyo comes out.
edit: if any of you other guys wants to try, goto atlas.valenciacc.edu while viewing a full webpage. Both stock browser, skyfire, and dolphin hd share the problem. I cant easily type in the UN and PW fields.

Droid4 Stock ICS Bugs

All,
We don't have an ICS Bugs thread going on. I wanted to check with some of the people here on XDA to see if they are experiencing what I am. Currently on .213, but most of these bugs I've seen since the begining. Oh, I'm also in Canada running on 3G HSPA+. I'm stock, but rooted with safestrap installed.
1) When placing a phone call, the phone hangs up immediately (you here the disconnected beep), then retries the phone call a few seconds later (it always succeeds). I have tried this on a freshly wiped phone and found the same experience. I have also tried disabling the Assisted Dialing, but have found ikt's the same thing
2) When using Google Chrome, if there is a input box, most of the time my keyboard won't appear (I'm using Swype as my default keyboard)
3) Phone runs hot sometimes, and when it's running hot it slows down to a halt. Usually happens after a day or two without a restart
4) My photo doesn't appear in the text messaging app (worked in AOKP/CM9 on my D3, as well as it works on my gf's Nexus S)
The only bug I noticed was that it initially booted up in global mode, and wouldn't connect to 4G/CDMA. Switching it to CDM+LTE fixed the issue and I haven't seen a bug since (213).:good:

Is your chrome working properly? Specifically the bug I mentioned in the OP...?
I didn't comment on that because I use Opera
Just tried the Chrome Beta now just to see, and I can confirm I am seeing the same behavior. I use Swiftkey, so it isn't a Swype-specific bug either.
What exactly is the difference between Chrome and the built-in browser? Aren't they both Webkit-based? Why is Google bothering to work on both?

Chrome is way faster at many things since it users hardware acceleration for video. Does text input work properly on opera?
Sent from my XT894 running ICS
I'm in the US also running .213
I haven't noticed any bugs, its working fine for me. I do not use chrome beta so I can't comment on that. The stock is not too bad, I don't use it much anyways.

Text entry works fine in both the stock browser and Opera. BTW, Opera also has hardware acceleration, which is why it never worked in any of the Frankbuilds of ICS based off the GB kernel ... So you can have your teh snappy and type with it too :laugh:
I'm on the 212 build and i can't screencap using power + volume down.
Is this fixed in 213 or am i just doing it wrong?
Also on 212 i can't control the default google music app or winamp from my bluetooth headset when the screen is off. I could do this before with the same version of the winamp app when i was back on gingerbread. I tried upgrading winamp, but that did nothing. Is there any change in 213?
Thanks ahead of time
Edit: just tried it and the volume down + power combo worked. Lol
One question, possible thought to ponder.
Are the bugs being described here really bugs of Android 4 or are they bugs in the individual app itself not being fully compatible with Android 4 yet?
Do similar bugs happen on a non-motorola device with android 4?
I'm considering flashing one of the leaks, so I'm trying to understand how you are sure these are ics bugs before I make the leap and run into issues.
Thanks.
Apologies if this constitutes hijacking the thread, if it does let me know and I"ll edit it to delete the question.
I was able to figure out bug #4, I had to login with my Google+ account again, since the update yesterday everything seems to be working fine.
Bugs 1 through 3 still exist, although I've switched off Global mode for now and put it to GSM only, it seems like the phone runs a lot cooler in this mode.
Even after updating Chrome to the final version, I'm still experiencing that text input bug. Maybe it's a Motorola issue... Can't wait for the next version of the leak!
I have tasker reboot my phone every morning at 6am. The phone doesn't need to be rebooted every day, but it ensures that it is fresh and ready to go every morning :laugh:
Nothing more annoying than trying to do something with your phone and having to reboot it because it is slow for whatever reason.

for this reason I think there will be other leaks, ICS is supposed to handle killing processes much better than GB, however the settings seem to not be aggressive enough in 213.
Probably there will be, though I likely won't update again for a while. Don't feel like losing all that data...

You could just do what I do: once you have root install safestrap and then take a backup of your phone before flashing the upgrade.
Once you're all done upgrading, re-root and re-install safestrap, then do an advanced restore and only restore the data. Voilla, all your apps are back.

I don't know, just had a random reboot after watching a youtube video in firefox, most likely memory related, not sure who's fault though, Motorola or Firefox. gotta root and use system tuner to change memory mgmt states.

That is a great idea. Though there hasn't been another leak since 213, so
Notification Bar Sticking/Wont Pull Down
I am on 212 currently, and I have noticed in 208 and 212 something that has happened only twice so far. Today, I just tried to check my notifications, and the bar will not pull down.
After a reboot it works fine, and it has only happened 2 times in the past couple weeks since the leaks first appeared.
Obviously it is a minor glitch, but just thought I'd throw it out there in case anyone else has seen it and overlooked it. :cyclops:

I have heard of a few others using this method successfully. If you are not using safestrap or just don't want to go this route take a look at the post link in my signature. It's a modified version of the original Droid 4 Utility and includes a script to jump from one ICS leak to another without losing data. It also flashes the GB files and the Kernel (boot.img) in one script, thus making it easier to go from one leak to another.
Regarding bugs, my wife got a razr yesterday. It wouldn't pull down the ICS update, so I just sideloaded it. We both run some of the same apps. So this gave me a chance to do side by side comparisons.The issue with some of the icons being small in the left top of the status seems to be a app issue. The chrome issue isn't present on the razr, of course there isn't a physical keyboard. Otherwise my 213 ICS seems to run great.
I found a new bug, it looks like GSM call forwarding doesn't work properly... at least it doesn't with my SIM card, I'm on Rogers in Canada.
Does Verizon support call forwarding? Does it work on there?
I have noticed in Chrome that pressing shift and then one of the symbol keys (like @) will only work if you hold the shift key.
More importantly I don't get notifications of app updates from google play. Check to see if you have any apps that need updating. Superuser had a update on July 1, dropbox yesterday and voodoo rootkeeper on June 28, I think. Anyone else?

my zi started to struggle with multitasking on 4.2.2

so basically my Z1 was having problem multitasking (memory leak here i guess) on 4.2.2
so decided to factory reset and went ahead updated it to 4.3. (only reason i was still on 4.2.2 was pure laziness lol)
i think, surprisingly, multitasking is working better than on 4.2.2, still get restarts on apps and games when i switch but less frequently.
i performed factory reset twice after installation, and i don't see any problems people mentioned other than multitasking
battery seems to be better especially when i do simple stuff like web surfing. it was about the same when i played games.
I have no idea why they removed task app tho.. I was using it a lot then i had to download other app because they got rid of it,
but browser removal wasn't my concern as i was using chrome anyways.
overall i am very satisfied. I should've moved on earlier.
if anyone still hesitating on updating, you should really give it a try, you can always go back!
OH i want the old key-tone back.. it's so lame that i turn it off

Unresponsiveness + Instability seen. Need help!

Hi guys,
I have encountered massive sudden unresponsiveness about 3 times since I've got the phone and I'm trying to troubleshoot the problem.
The phone becomes very unresponsive with extreme lag and eventually after a long wait it reboots itself. I saw it twice on Nougat leaked beta and just today, on official OOS4.
On one occasion I encountered while it was charging in the car, and navigating. It was frustrating as GPS wasn't reliable. Phone felt warm too.
However, on other occasions, I was doing some simple tasks like browsing FB and the issue started. I highly doubt this is CPU throttling as I I've gotten the phone hotter before without any problems.
Now, is there any app which logs CPU resources in the background? Kinda like Windows task manager which tells you which app is hogging resources. I have Wakelock detector which is great, but the app using more batt is not necessarily the culprit.
So far, I replaced LightFlow with LED blinker and will monitor. Any ideas, feel free to share.
Thanks for reading!

if you saw these on Nougat leaked beta, its normal, because as the name says, its an old build, not the one that came out before EOY. On official build, its normal as well, being Beta 1 build. I`m using it too, and I encounter a lot of lag, small freezes , and things like there. These are going to be fixed, but we just need to simply wait for OnePlus to do their job. And I`m ok with this, since I`m also working in development branch and I know how their processes work

Thanks. I've searched quite a bit for this issues but I couldnt find it. I felt that nobody else saw it. The occurrence might be low, but the problem is big. Phone becomes unusable for quite a substantial amount of time.
Lets see how it goes.

Have you tried to reset to factory settings after update? That might help

I didn't feel the need for it, as all my installs were clean from scratch. So having this issue across at least 2 FW tells me that it's likely a rogue app causing this..
What about the stable version of Nougat here?

Yup.. I am using that right now. Saw the issue once so far.
Hard to say if it's a rogue app without knowing which apps you have installed
I'd recommend a factory reset since that's usually the first troubleshooting step. Try installing apps back slowly, and only the ones you absolutely need. I'm on the stable nougat build and haven't noticed that happen with me yet.
