Before having an HTC device, i was using Netfront (by access) to browse the internet. I installed the latest 3.5 technical trial version which runs until the end of November to see whether it was better than opera. Although the operation is quite different in principal, the rendering speed was far quicker than opera. Progam loading time and closing were also much much faster. Loading sites like facebook was not a problem, unlike opera that seems to struggle.
However, the downside....... if loading a very intesnive page like facebook, when exiting the application, the screen became corrupt in places......... simlilar in looks to the broken glass issue. I've now uninstalled it, and had no problems with the display since - however it is a shame as web loading was quicker and worked with many sites that opera can't handle.
Anyone else given it a go?
I tried facebook, and didn't have this broken glass issue. Tried a few other intensive pages but no issue either... Still my favourite browser the past year.
It was only noticable after extensive use of heavy web sites. The application that i noticed the screen corruption was mainly secondtoday although i did notice some weird effects in the mail application - several vertical lines on one occaisionbut mainly little dashes appearing when looking at an empty inbox.
I will probably try it again, as the browsing experience was good. I assume your are using 3.5 technical trial version?
UPDATE - TUrning off virtual canvas seems to have stopped it happening for now. Any suggestions?
After 225 pages of reading the Opera Mobile thread I found no answers to these problems. Perhaps I missed them. After a week there were hardly any new posts on that thread, so I am assuming that it is not as active as it used to be. So I am starting a new one.
These problems are with NinjaDuck repack 1.3 ro.fl.xxx
1) Pages are displayed too wide. Even if the screen is landscape mode, mobile sites or zoomed views of normal sites display about twice as wide as they should be. In the stock 9.5 both mobile version of sites and non mobile versions that are zoomed to 100% would fill the screen horizontally, but not more. So no horizontal scrolling is needed. But now I need to scroll left to right in order to read most sites.
2) Sometimes I get blank screens loaded.
3) Most times I have to tap a link 5- 10 times before it will actually work. Each time I press the link the blue box shows but nothing happens.
4) Flash does not work, on any site. Not even m.youtube
5) In Opera 9.5 using m.facebook I could close the browser and reopen it dozens of times over the course of weeks and I was always logged in. In this version I get logged out of the site at least once a day, sometimes 2 or 3 times. And most times when I try to log back in I get error messages. I have to try to log in process several times before it will log back in. Sometimes it even takes restarting the browser, or soft resetting the phone b4 it will work.
6) Every time I use opera 10 my ram usage will go up to almost 90% with only 1 or 2 tabs open. This is with a fresh re boot and 50+% of ram is free before opening opera. With 9.5 I could have 5 tabs open and still be around 70%ram usage.
Any help?
I am using the newest USA tmo version of WM 6.5 The inbuilt version of 9.5 with that rom sucks!! I loved the version from USA Tmo WM6.1- wish I could have that back.
I would gladly give up auto-rotation and flash to have ALL the other problems fixed.
Thanks for any and all help.
Merge/close redundant post/thread
No need to open a new thread with same topic, this go against the rules, if your question has not been answered wait and have patience, Official thread is the most likely place to get your answer and don´t think because you opened a new one with same question will help.
I use to had a Rhodium and used Opera 10 with no ant issue, of course never with a stock ROM, since day one I changed to Energy ROM and was smooth and able to open several tabs with no speeds or stability issues.
Thanks. Info is noted.
I keep having my browsers stop, they wont finish loading and then when I touch on the address search bar or refresh button on the screen I get the force close message. I'm having problems with the stock browser and also the dolphin hd browser too. It happens after about 10 minutes and I can't find any correlation with certain sites, it's just after a little time no matter what I'm looking at. I did a search and only came across someone saying they were having a problem but it was a xoom and they were also rooted. My transformer is all stock and only about a week old. Does anyone have any suggestions or anything? Besides that I love this thing. Thanks for the help.
some sites are inaccessible without crashing to the desktop. Web browsing is one of the major use cases for the transformer. It will be nice if this geta fixed.
Are you serious? I researched tide tablet for weeks before i decided on it. I knew about the cameras and taking videos not being good, I knee there was a chance for light bleed, and also that there were some problems with hd video playback sometimes. I hadn't read anything however on browsing problems. I tried Firefox and opera along with dolphin and they all stop and crash. I don't understand why someone didn't mention this in their reviews with it being a problem. I've had no problems with light bleed, video playback and the camera is fine for me, but the browsing problem would have dissuaded me from purchasing if I would have known. Is there no fixes at all?
The problem is java script, try to disable java

On Monday I'll have my Transformer for 2 weeks. I just started having browser crashes yesterday only after a couple of minutes of browsing. This has happened on yahoo & xda. At the time I was trying to copy & paste. What I don't understand is I wasn't having problems before.
Also, I am unable to do a search on XDA. The search & keyboard come up monetarily then close.
Are you guys running stock 3.1 honeycomb?

Yes, stock & not rooted
I never get force closing pop ups but everynow and then the browser just closes... but then it depends on the website
I;m running overclocked prime
Mine is just stock, I haven't rooted mine either. I can usually browse for 10 minutes or so before mine stops then force closes. It seems strange that it just started after 2 weeks for the one person. If the problem is Java and I turn it off won't that limit some of the sites? I hate to be limited on browsing, otherwise you might as well get a dang ipad. I hope we find a fix for this it's driving me crazy.
Stock, 3.1 not rooted. The crashing is site specific. It happens with Dolphin as well. Xscope will handle the site, but it has other usability issues (like no zoom) . Do other tablets (zoom,tab 10.1,etc) have these issues? I love paying to be a beta tester.
Same problem here, browser crashes on certain webpages without a warning, switching java off solves the problem but this shouldn't be a solution
Turning off Java Script does indeed help a lot it seems - faster loading and far less crashes. As a web technology noob what do I lose w/o Java script? I browse mostly news/science/tech blogs and forums. Not to many interactive (save Facebook of course).
Any good tips on what losing JV scrips limits?
Thanks!
This has been discussed before Its a known issues (at least to us that have them) and its pretty annoying to say the least. Turning off javascript helps in two different ways (stops crashes and speeds up browsing), but some pages wont display correctly without it.
i resolved crashes with "adfree"
I've never seen my browser as prone to crash or sluggish on the transformer. The only thing I configured is to start plugins on click only (like poor man flashblock - but I prefer it this way on my desktop Chrome too). Running stock 3.1.
i wwill try the adfree and I will post my results.
I've had my Transformer for about three weeks and besides slowing down quite a bit the stock browser and Dolphin have been crashing regularly as of last week. I'm running stock 3.1 - not rooted or anything. It's gotten bad enough that I've basically stopped using it and am using my Acer W500 and iPad. I can put up with some problems in a new unit but if I had known that Honeycomb was as buggy as it seems to be so far I probably would not have purchased this.
i got mine last week, the default browser performance is unacceptable. It just crashes without any warning. Clicking comboboxes , checkboxes and even links in some cases is far too difficult to get right with one go, there are instances where you simply cant do it at all , even after zooming all the way in. Turning off JavaScript is not an option for me, there are simply too many sites using JavaScript for their manus n stuff. Now using dolphin browser, seemsmuch better, but still unreble.I am a huge android supporter, i have a galaxy s and i love it. But recently i compared this against an ipad 2, i hate to say this but with current firmware (3.1 stock, not rooted) this tablet is far inferior to the ipad when it comes to web browsing. I hate apple products,but at this point id rather have an ipad, over this

Try loading gmail web site and see how sluggish the performance is.
Browser Cache
I cleared my browser cache and this seemed to fix it. can someone test and post results?
Hi all. I just got scared. I read folks are happy with the performance of Mango Beta. But i just watched a clip on YouTube and IE9 seems laggy as hell.
I haven't been able to test out Mango because im about to send my Omnia 7 for radio firmware update (finally all call/internet issuess are going away!)
Is it like this to surf in new IE9? I wont update to Mango at all if it is as horrible as this :'(

I have no idea what you are seeing, but it looks to be performing very well based on that video. Smooth scrolling, zooming, tab switching, and orientation changing.
Of course there was a part where the page had to be redrawn for a sec, but that's normal for really large pages with lots of content (it looked like the page he was on was quite large) no matter what phone/browser you are using.
Personally I have had no lag issues with any sites that I normally visit in IE9. The browser is very fast and performs very well. It amazes me when I think this is on a mobile phone using not so new hardware.
The version of Chrome just released stopped me from either throwing this thing at a wall or (more likely) unlocking and flashing. Up until today, every browser, including Chrome, would load to 90%, then hang for ten seconds or so. If I tried to interact with the page in any way before it finished loading, I'd get the dreaded "xxxx isn't responding, Would you like to close it?.... Wait - OK".
This version (25.0.1364.169), will let me scroll around freely and start reading text while it continues loading pictures and ads. Amazing!
Of course, I will probably unlock and flash a rom eventually, I just wanted to use it for a few months with warranty and maybe wait for 4.2.2 to be released first. I have had very few complaints with the device besides that hanging/error message issue.
I still prefer the stock browser with the Labs 'swipe from edge' hidden address bar feature, but maybe something like that will come to Chrome eventually. Does anyone know how to auto-hide the address bar and tabs in this version of Chrome? Meantime I will use Chrome for all sites where full screen viewing is not vital.

Hmm it's still very laggy compared to CROMI and stock browser I'm afraid.
I agree with sbdags cromi and stock browser combo is smoother and more responsive, even compared to latest chrome release . Actually I've found that to be the case for any other browser as well.
Seconded.
I too have a huge performance increase with the new chrome. I'm on CM10.1 so the improvements must not be specific to stock. Glad you posted this :good:; I'd given up on chrome because of laginess. Now I can have my "other devices tab" and good performance at the same time. Biggest noticeable change for me is (as you found) scrolling while pages load.
Noticed the Chrome update this a.m.
Tried it on the usual sluggish java heavy websites still not as snappy as stock under CROMi + B2Ram.
Chrome is slightly better with this update...it's just not a preference with me over stock or BOAT ad free.
For the people using chrome on stock its the Brest version so far. A lot of things got better. Page loading is a lot better when compared to the older version. And the scrolling is great too.
I thought that browser2ram worked with Chrome as well, or was that a specially tweaked version?
@sbdags: I thought I'd seen a Chrome-capable version in CROMI before?
If this is the case, well, then Chrome is just still slower than stock anyway. I love speed dials, but I hate them being so limited in number. The sync capabilities were nice, but ever since the stock browser started supporting sync too I haven't looked back. I traditionally hated stock browser -- be it on Android or on Windows -- but the current one on Android is pretty good with browser2ram attached.
Just thought id chime in on this. Unfrtunately cannot report the same decreased lag with the new Chrome update. In fact, id say it is worse. Unusable actually, which is no loss for me as i use stock...... which is a lag-machine as well, just slightly less so. Ironically, of all the websites i visit regularily, XDA seems to be the most taxing and almost always will produce a FC if i dont let it fully load before attempting to scroll. When i test a browser update i come here to see how fast the page loads!!!
At any rate, i deal with it and still love this tab....

Agreed, google chrome is slow, and it wont allow flash, fck google chrome, a browser is useless without flash bc you can barely access any content that isnt text or pics, accessing content is the whole point of the internet. Browsing was a headache until i started using stock browser with B2RAM. browser2RAM more than doubles browsing speed, responsiveness, and smoothness. Stop dicking around with stock ASUS tf700, it is a waste of your time. All the time you spend waiting to browse the web can be spent on ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING.

Web content is in HTML and images - Flash is a proprietary disease and must die as soon as possible.
