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.

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

Browser Cache
I cleared my browser cache and this seemed to fix it. can someone test and post results?
Hello,
Has anyone noticed the stock browser randomly returning to the home page immediately upon loading another page?
It does if you open a new tab.

mine crashes without an error message and so I have to reopen and go all the way back to the page I was on, so I don't use the stock browser anymore. I use Dolphin's HD browser
Same here. I use Dolphin HD v7.0 (not the tablet version) and it works great Plus has add-ons for ad blocking, themes, translation and better bookmarking.
My stock browser closes itself sometimes, especially, the default homepage of ASUS, or complicated page.
I also want to use Dolphin, is it good?
I've just started using Opera Mobile browser and pretty impressed with the speed.
even typing this there's absolutely no lag.

I definitely have this problem. My browser is always going to google.com even after I type in a url. Any solutions?
I'm also having this problem, sometimes the browser just closes and I also have problems with re-directs. I hope these problems are fixed with ICS.
I usually prefer to use Dolphin HD but I'm finding that it tends to have a bit of scrolling lag. So far the stock is pretty quick. Any other recommendations if you prefer to see 'desktop' versions of all sites?
ICS Browser+
Google Chrome.
Stock rom sucks, with the random reboots, and laggy browsing customs roms are way better. When they developed these stock roms they are not thinking about everyday use, I mean it took them forever to release ics, then they release an update a week after ics came out as if they didn't have enough time to work out the kinks...
I use Dolphin Browser HD on my phone, but on the tablet it's ICS Browser + all the way.
I use Opera and Chrome.
I keep stock as a back up and use chrome opera and dolphin HD
I have to admit though would be nice to have one browser that does all things nicely

I kinda like the ICS stock Browser. Its fast and so far havnt given me any issues.
It does the job and does it above average for my needs.
Stock browser handles almost everything I need, unless I need to pull up a quick search with another app in my active window, then I keep overskreen in my recent apps list and pull it up on top of what I am working on.
I use the stock ICS browser. I used to use only Dolphin-browser before I got my tablet but with the news of Dolphin-browser sending all our searches to some server and tracking them I uninstalled it. I line the ICS stock browser. It works and does everything I need it to.
And like stated above me, if I need to do something quickly in an app I'll use overskreen which I love!

Chrome doesn't even feel like a beta but even though flash is dead I miss it on chrome.

Do you like the stock ICS browser?
I like it but I prefer Dolphin browser. Dolphin is more faster and it have a lot of options to navigate the web more comfortable. Right now I'm trying Google Chrome Beta for ICS. Unfortunately Google Chrome runs only on ICS ROM's, but this browser it's pretty, simple, very fast and can synchronize all your bookmarks, history, passwords and more with your desktop Google Chrome with an easy way.
Stock ICS browser because i use stock browser on my phone and chrome on my PC. I have my bookmarks synced across all 3 devices. I'm not a big fan of having two or more apps installed that does the same thing. I tested out chrome for ICS, which was nice, but no flash and is very laggy when scrolling. The web as a whole is far from ready to completely ditch flash just yet. While i was testing chrome, i came to realize how much of a problem this is. So when chrome is at a stable build and has flash support, then it will become my only browser. But for now, its stock iCS browser.
I have been using Dolphin for as long as I have had an Android phone. Now, I like the stock browser on my TF much better and actually started using it on my AOKP-build phone too.
Question: You can use Dolphin to pull your bookmarks from your stock browser, but is there away to pull the bm's from Dolphin TO the stock browser. Like I said above, I have been using Dolphon for a long time and always either disabled or deleted the stock browser, until now. So I have compiled a fair amount of bookmarks and really don't want to key them in manually.
For people who likes to work with keyboard shortcuts and happen to own a Keyboard dock like me, Stock ICS browser is a must! The ability to do almost anything with keyboard shortcuts is unreplaceable to me. Other browsers that I tried doesn't give me that ability, so it's an easy choice for me.
Other than that, the speed is pretty amazing too. Faster than Dolphin + Chrome imo (well, just my own observation, I know other ppl see different results).
The only downside is the ability to choose Browser Agent, but somehow I manage to get Desktop mode on most of my visit sites.
Bookmarks is also sync-ed well with Chrome for desktop after being refreshed in Chrome for android.
Stock 4 all without flash. Chrome or Opera 4 flash..

I'm very disappointed for not to be able to choose the browser agent anymore! Quite a few of the sites I visit force me their mobile version and even choosing from the menu to see the computer version it doesn't work. Some sites give the possibility to change to a normal view somewhere far away down on the page, but not all. It's very frustrating.
Also since a couple of days the videos in the browser are lagging or do not show at all. I wonder what is happening? Under honeycomb I never had these issues.
Otherwise I've been quite happy with the stock browser and use Dolphin HD just for some special needs (like changing a web-page to a PDF when I need to keep it for further usage, very practical!).
I have a TF101 B50 series with ICS 4.0.3. in WW-version

Thats why ICS Browser+ exists. Its basically a stock browser with user agent options and a few more refinements.

I tried ICS Browser+ yesterday... It worked quite good although slower than the stock.
... But after 5min it stopped loading pages, and I still havnt been able to get it load pages again (although I didnt spend much energy on it).
Stock browser works like a charm still.
Right now its a toss up for me. Browser + has ua options, but stock has the thumb scroller...
Vote now!
I hate Chrome on mobile. It is next to useless and with it being available on the play store I no longer want to offer it at all in CROMI going forward.
Give me a good reason to keep supporting it otherwise it goes!
As I'm on your side, I will not give you any reason to incorporate it any longer. I sometimes use it, but I'd just as happily use the stock browser (right after install_ or Firefox (which is my current 'standard' browser, if there is anything like that to be found on Android). Most have speed issues, anyway.
Again: I vote for let it out.
EDIT: With Titanium Backup being incorporated into your excellent ROM, one can backup and re-install without needing moile data access anyway, so, as far as I'm concerned, there's a very valid line of reasoning against incorporating anything other than TB.
I personally use Chrome on all my devices- phone, tablet, PC, laptop, etc, and having all of my bookmarks and tabs is really convienent. And also just love how it looks!
Obviously, it doesn't really matter if you include it because you can just download off the play store but it's just one less thing we need to download
Anyways keep up the great work sdbags!

You do know the stock browser also syncs your chrome bookmarks by default on CROMI? Not sure what you mean about tabs?

I think it will sneak into 3.1 (in fact I know it will as its sitting there looking ugly, staring at me right now ) but from then on it will disappear as an install option. I've been using it for the last hour and it is like working in treacle even with Browser2Ram installed. It does render pages nicely but there is no full screen option, typing is extremely laggy and dragging pages around is painful. The stock browser is 10000000% slicker and a pleasure to use in comparison. And it has more options.
Nail
Coffin
Final.
Vote for no chrome.
BTW, I think the tab is that the previous user talking about is the "Bookmarks Toolbar" where all the bookmarks shown on the tool bars, it's nice and convinience, but stills not worth to keep Chrome.
I use Chrome on all my devices for the sync abilities. While other browsers sync, they don't sync as comprehensively as Chrome. I also have 2 chromebooks, where it's the only option I have. Having said that, I can always install it like every other app I install.
Is there anything you tweak for the Chrome install?
The tab sync is that if you have a tab open on one device, you can go to another device and have it open the same tab - very useful when browsing on your phone and then deciding to switch to a larger screen, etc.

Thanks for clarifying. It's still in the next release but as a data app. Going forward it will then be saved and not disturbed.
chrome
I prefer chrome than stock.. I wouldn't mind downloading from the play store.
I prefer using Dolphin over Chrome, Chrome seems to have an issue downloading files Dolphin does it perfect every time because it has its own download app.
Asus Transformer Infinity running CleanRom 3.0.4
Personally, I don't use Chrome. Stock browser works well for me, especially with the tweaks.
I say the smaller the rom size the faster I can download and install it. Stay true to objective of a clean rom and let users add what they need from the Play Store.
I do use the Google apps and a few of the others. TB was giving me issues by not letting me use my upgraded key when installed from the rom so I had to skip it and download it from play store.

Yeah I've noticed that with tibu on the last few updates - I think it does a check. But I am leaving it in due to if you ever do a full wipe it's handy to be able to recover apps especially if you don't have internet available. It saved me a couple of times recently when in Japan.

It does check if the Pro license is legit -- you can sometimes (most of the times) keep it active when you select "Auto-... TiBu settings" or something along those lines from the Preferences. It should automatically carry over the license then, at least until you have an internet connection (that's when the first actual check is made). (I had to move the folder last time, so that no longer worked. That was a definite PITA.)
Hi All, I have had three phone for the last 2 weeks. This week the phone has frozen at least 3/4 times a day while browsing. Generally happens when scrolling down, I use the Google Chrome browser. The only way to reactivate the screen is by pressing power button to turn off the screen and turning the screen back on again. I just hope it's not a hardware fault ? O just wondering if there a setting I need to change.
Chrome was having issues.
Try another browser like opera see if that changes anything
Mate, don't use Chrome. It is one of the worst browsers on Android. I recommend using the Brave browser or an older version of Firefox.

Thanks for your replies guys. I take it the concensus is not to use Chrome on Android phones ? Will try out Firefox for now as that seems to be a well known browser.
I was getting it loads on my XZ2 brand new X5II and gutted to still get it.
I've switched to DuckDuckGo browser now, pretty seamless so far.
Also, many websites, even the biggest ones, are poorly optimized for smartphones. Lots of ads or badly implemented scrips, lazyload etc. But most problems are usually caused by a browser.
I've had this issue too, but ironically with Brave, as frostitomik suggested to use instead of Chrome .
Quick fix for me is to use the task switcher soft key, but choose the same browser app again. It seems to unlock it.
Same here in different Apps. Never saw it on my other phones. I think it's a Sony issue.
I am using sony as well, but you could search on Google, people are experiencing the same problem on different phone models that could be dated back to 2019.
A different app is usually still using a chromium base browser, did you try firefox?
Tho, I found the freezing "app" problem would only occurred when u are browsing website with a relatively heavy load in images and videos, or a very long document.
My personal solution is simply pressing the overview button and going back to the browser.
