I've read in many places that Samsung put hardware acceleration in their browser on their phones.
If that's true, why is browsing so unbelievably jerky? I'm running the latest Firefly ROM, FYI. My co-worker was showing me his iPhone 4 and its browsing experience, and it just completely demolished my Captivate.
Well maybe the site you were on had flash stuff on it. That will slow down the browser regardless of whether or not it has been hardware accelerated.
I haven't seen any big lags on the captivate i'm using right now, even with flash. Even with my HD2, browsing isn't laggy.
The test site we were using was Engadget, the desktop version (not the mobile version). So I guess mine was much more choppier because it had Flash going on, while the iPhone did not?
try turning off plugins and compare again. ill bet it's the flash

Nope. Turned off Flash as well as disabling Javascript, same old. Jerky and very unsmooth. Not to mention it checkerboards.
You should see how fast the browser is in the leaked 2.3 rom that popped up two weeks ago. The speed difference between the 2.2 and leaked 2.3 browser is VERY noticeable and makes the 2.2 browser look like the alpha leak.

Is it possible to put the browser from the 2.3 into 2.2 ROMs?
there is no gurantee that hardware accellerated browsing made it through the rom cutting process, there are many things removed as "bloat ware" that arent bad or carrier applied, also you mentioned with "their browser" does your rom use "their browser"?
"hardware accelerated" doesnt mean "will just work".

I have no idea if Firefly uses the Samsung browser. I'll ask in the ROM thread. Still, it's pretty pathetic the difference between the iPhone user experience and the Android user experience.
my browsing is great, even on flash video sites like watch.thecomedynetwork.ca (canada only). everything loads quick and plays nicely, with default browser and dolphin browser.
its possible your phone doesnt like the modem your rom uses. try a new modem.
its kind of unfair to flash custom software and say the "phone" is worse than another, you arent comparing to stock approved software for your phone and location.
its like saying your computer sucks because it got a virus..

I tried multiple modems. First one was JL2, I'm on JK4 now. I don't see how a modem would equate to displaying a webpage. Loading, yes, but displaying, how?
I'm running a custom ROM to give this phone a fair chance. Running the complete garbage that is stock ROM on this phone is laughable at best.
if your browser is checkerboarding you must be on the stock 2.2.1 browser that is horrible. find the 2.2.1 browser thread and i have a .zip in there will fix checkerboarding and somewhat the gif issue also.
and even if the iphone browser is a little smoother(which i didnt notice a big difference in my iphone 4 and captivate), the 2.2(and 2.1 for that matter) browser loads pages significantly faster. mine did every page every time. the iphones browser also seems smoother when zooming because it does not reflow text AT ALL. our phones do. ill take the text reflowing any day.
are you using any task managers or antivirus programs? anything that may be running in the background on boot and/or scanning what you are doing/veiwing?
Hardware accelerated browser app is on the leaked Samsung ginngerbread that doesn't work on our cappies?

No, I use none of them. I'm aware that Froyo negates the need for any type of task manager/task killers. No anti-virus either (unnecessary).
All I'm doing is opening the browser and viewing a page like Engadget. The scrolling/pinch to zoom is very jerky and is not fluid at all.
Just to add what the OP is saying, I am on Cognition 3.04 and I notice the browser is jerky when scrolling and just generally laggy when scrolling or re-sizing. I would say worse than stock in terms of the experience on the page, not talking about load times.
Running Cognition 4.1.1 here and it seems good to me. Maybe a little jerky on scrolling but nothing serious. Pinch zoom is smooth.
I feel like my user experience got worse after the upgrade from 2.1 stock to 2.2 stock. I have plug-ins set to on demand.

so now that there is a froyo leak out for our phones, is it stable enough to update to it? i was thinking of going for the cognition v2.2 froyo, but obviously dont want a ton on unreliability problems lol...so whats the status on that?
I can't speak to cognition, but I have been running Froyo since it came out a few days ago (no root or lagfix) and it seems fine. Some have complained about lag - if it is there, it is not near as bad as stock 2.1. Others have said the browser has a memory leak - i have not run into that yet either.
Overall the plusses outway the minuses. I am happy with it so far. I have not had any crashes or FCs and the GPS is no worse then JH7. Unless i find a show stopper issue, I will keep it for now.
oh cool, so is it a final release of froyo or was it just a beta leak?

I would call it Beta. There is still stuff that looks like they ported the i9000 Rom over and they still need to do a little clean up. Some EU spellings of things, some minor bugs, Wireless AP and USB tether are present.
I think this is the 2.2 Captivate Base that they will build from. A solid Beta, but not the final.
It has been running fine for me. Once Rom Manager gets updated things will be great. Only AppsInstaller doesn't work for me but its not really that big of a deal.
This FROYO is actually very stable in that everything works perfect.............Have been running for 24 hrs barely so theres a bit more testing needed but yea its definately a GO . At first i got a couple of force closes on several of stock apps like music, phone, and a couple of others but only happend once and never happen again kind of like if it was still setting up or something but besides that and some odd color changes 2.2 is stunning i notice an overall snappier feel market 2x quiker (i dont use lag fix because it ruinned my OS a few times thats just me) and with root enabled the limitations are infinate
I've only been using it for half the day, but I have to say that samsung fixed most of the little annoying problems with this phone. We finally got the phone we paid for with the exception of lag. It's still there, but the one click lag fix solves that. All in all,i recommend the update. Especially with cognition.
cognition 2.2
I'm running the most recent release of Cognition 2.2 for Froyo with the built in one click lag fix. (Even though I really didn't even need to run the lag fix, its that smooth) It is sick. Phone is just silky smooth in all aspects. The only thing I noticed was that flash was slowing the browser down a little, but only on super large pages with tons of plug ins like huffingtonpost so I set the plug in setting to "on demand" and now I can't find a page large enough to slow down the browser. I put it next to my friends new Iphone4 and it was embarassing how much faster the Captivate was loading pages. Only things that arent working on 2.2 yet are titanium backup, which you really shouldnt use for this anyway since you don't want to install 2.1 apps on the 2.2 update, and Rom manager, but I fully expect that with the level of support we've seen from the Rom dev, he will have it updated in no time as well as an update for Titanium. Overall, I almost feel for the first time that I no longer need to scour the forums looking for ways to improve the phone. It is just sick (have I said how sick it is?) how well it runs with Cognition. GPS works perfectly, and I don't mean just getting locks. I put it on my dash and have been driving around a lot for two days and My Tracks is right on. My position does not drift off the road AT ALL anymore. No more being on other streets and otherwise just drifting around all nilly willy. GPS Test shows at least 6 or 7 locked satellites and usually 9 or 10 locked. I don't think I would get better performance out of a Garmin or Tom Tom. It does get better sat locks on the dash with a clear view of the sky rather than in the cup holder in the center console however, but that is to be expected with any GPS device. Even so, it was still fully functional in the cupholer.
I installed by Odin one click back to stock, did a GSM Master Reset via the phone keypad *2767*3855# then rooted, put the downloaded Cognition 2.2 file on my internal sd card, and then installed with Rom Manager, (works because I'm back on 2.1 at this point) I HIGHLY recommend this. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with all the spare time I just freed up by not having to flash my phone a million more times
P.S. If you can, donate a few bucks to DesignGears for the work he has done with this. It's totally worth it! It's amazing that he's gotten a ROM out so fast with the release and he is constantly working on, upgrading, and tweaking his work to make it better. (which is why im sure I'll be flashing again in the future /cry)

The FroYo build is stable and fast. I like it.
I rolled back. It is stable - but some of the underlying features are broken. Forwarding emails does not include any comments you make. Google contact groups now work, but the listed names map to the wrong contacts.
Some nice improvements overall, but some issues are show stoppers for me. It won't crash though - or at least it didn't for me.
Has anyone tried enabling jit on this? I know it was attempted on 2.1 but no one made it past the lock screen before it bootlooped on the galaxy s. 2.2 is made for jit & it should be more stable now right? All I could find in the forums is how to do this for other phones like the droid x (sounds pretty unstable though) & im too much of a noob to figure out how to apply that to my captivate to try it.

Froyo has been pretty stable for me, and certainly better overall than 2.1 was. It still needs work to have what I would call a well-polished feel, but overall I find it to be an upgrade.
I'm hoping it is a beta, and we'll get an even better one soon

I sold my Motorola Atrix because I couldn't stand the phone and I ended up picking up a Captivate a few days ago for $160 in excellent condition.
Anyways, I installed Serendipity rom and I can't watch ANY flash videos without it being very choppy. Every 2 seconds it stops for a quick moment and then continues. It's the newest version of flash. I tried Hulu and it doesn't work at all, only black screen. I've been searching on here for a resolution and haven't been able to find anything. I've seen videos online of flash videos working flawlessly.
If anyone can help me, It would be greatly appreciated it. Thanks in advance!
Its probably your location. When i'm at home i can stream vids on my Cappy faster and smoother than my 2 year old laptop, but when i visit my brother it breaks up pretty often at first. Letting it sit for about 5mins fixes it for me. But when i try to watch another vid it starts breaking up and i have to sit and wait again. Have you tried browsers like Opera Mobile and Skyfire? They stream better than the standard browser for me.

It does this no matter where I am. I've been using Dolphin and the stock browser. At work we have 20mbps down and at home I got 15mbps and it does this at both locations. Let me try the different browsers and if not, what do you think about changing the rom?

Thanks for the reply!
I had acceptable flash playback with Serendipity 6.3. It'd run a bit choppy at times, but mostly decent so long as you didn't resize the window or scroll while the video was running.
I'm getting MUCH MUCH better playback with the stock 2.3.3 firmware. The browser seems to be hardware accelerated and the flash video playback has desktop-like smoothness, even during scrolling and resizing.

I've been running Dragon RC6.1 with Speedmod K13E kernel for almost a week. It took about a day and a half for the 2 to sync but performance and battery life are really good now.
I'd say try different ROM's and see what you get. I've tried Serendipity, SpeedNLooks, and Phoenix ROM's and had absolutely no problem with them. But when i jumped from Andromeda 2.2 to Andromeda 3 and from DragonRC6 to DragonRC7 i found the older version just worked better for me.

Skyfire doesn't actually use adobe flash The video is decoded on skyfire's servers and streamed to your phone via some other method. Their whole "thing" was to provide flash support for phones that didn't support it natively. Kind of pointless on Android phones these days.
There actually isn't a stock 2.3 rom built specifically for the captivate yet and we still don't have a fully compatible kernel. The installation process is a bit involved at this point, so unless you like spending a day tinkering, giving up certain features (screen rotation), and potentially bricking (seriously), you might want to hold off for a bit.
If not, and you're willing to take the plunge, you can get the stock firmware from www.samfirmware.com (XWJVB) and flash it via odin. Be severely warned that this will flash new bootloaders, which can potentially permabrick your phone if things go boom while it's flashing sbl.bin. Warning #2, the key combo for recovery and download mode will have changed - download mode is now vol down+menu+power, recovery is vol up+power.
After you've flashed the official i9000 2.3, you can either stick with it and flash xcaliburinhand's partially-reoriented beta kernel, or you can flash any of the other 2.3 roms from the i9000 dev section and flash xcal's kernel over them. You should also read through the kernel thread in the dev section. There is a lot of good info in there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042543
Things you'll lose by flashing 2.3: Screen auto-rotation, BLN, Voodoo (lagfix, sound, color), ability to overclock, probably a few other less significant things.

CM7 flash performance is comparable to serendipity 6.* in my experience. It doesn't have the same hardware accelerated browser that the JVB rom has.

Not really. You'll be flashing the firmware and bootloaders, so it's essentially like flashing back to stock, except now stock is 2.3 and your orientation is mental. Check out the kernel thread, it has instructions.
I'm on Firefly 2.9 currently about to flash to 3.0 with Speedmod K13E and flash runs fine on my phone, it's more dependent on my connection than anything else.
You would like to check the version of ur flash player too.
I know there are some newer versions of flash player that actually degrade the performance of existing devices.
Flash player is poorly implemented in general, you will need some test to find the best fit version.
as above,
is it me or everyone that the web browser in Nexus S really loads page at a very slow rate compared to iphones?
im saying this because during rides in underground trains, all the iphones and ipads around me seem to load pages without any hiccup, yet i have problem loading even the google page.
Even when placed side by side, loading times are inferior compared to the iphone safari.
PS: im not creating an iphone vs nexus thread, just asking out of curiosity
On paper, the android browser is faster then iOS', but the nexus s doesn't have video acceleration, so loading flash content or images is pathetically slow and laggy, which is very disappointing for a pure google experience phone, they really screwed this up.
Custom UIs like touchwiz and htc sense do have hardware acceleration, so the browser is blazing fast (really, really fast and definitely out stands the iphone, that's the only thing I miss from my old HTC Desire), but the vanilla android doesn't, at least until ice cream sandwich comes out.
This, or your phone probably had poor coverage in that area. Anyhow, yes, the nexus s browsing experience is lame and google should be ashamed with their device.
Edit: As an alternative, you can use opera mobile (not mini) which is very responsive and smooth, but it tends to render the pages after they are fully loaded, not on the go, so it may seem slower then the stock browser, much slower. On wifi it runs well tho.
Eh you get me wrong, I mean that it slow on loading page not when surfing the page ...

I had this problem too. Not only slow loading pages. Sometimes it not load at all. I had to touch and hold and choose open to load the page.
Its because the kernel combined with unsuitable ROM. After I flashed another rom and kernel. I solved this problem.
And to make sure ur speed internet connection, u can use apps called speedtest.net its free on the market.

Hi all
I have a galaxy Tab and Nexus S ..when Nexus S is faster the bowser isnt impressive on both devices..
I yesterdfay installed OVERCOME rom on my Galaxy Tab and..browser is even smoother than IPAD..i mean really really buttery smooth i will try to upload a video..Can any one using Overcome rom confirm me the changes made so that we can have same quality of browser on Nexus S because GOOGLE so far is behaving like a **** to us..
Its a reall wonderful i checked now on galaxy Tab.Specs are same for Nexus S.Please i need positive replies..currently there is no rom which makes browser buttery smooth...Let me tell you Opera is very smooth but in case of OVERCOME rom now stock browser is matchless fastest and smoothest browser i have seen in life...much smooth what apple can offer thats a fact even with FLASh on
Opera is smooth but the interface is not user friendly. It would be great if xda developers can mod nexus s browser

opera is s smooth bro but The browser mod i talked about is much buttery than opera...is their anyone from Google team on this thread...such a expensive phone with a pathetic browser...
Can anyone confirm a ROM which includes galaxy S JPu browser...It was a great browser
Let me verify that FLASH is not responsible for LAG...i confirmed this s from my experience of android phones till date.
This is not connected with Flash performance. Problem occurs on many browsers not only stock browser. Only ones that work fine is Opera or firefox (but slower).
O think this is a driver problem - same lag exists in Waze app (free gps application) while not occuring on for example DHD.
cant they make drivers for their flagship device..thats certainly unbelivable

Yeah, the situation is extremely frustrating. I probably would return my Nexus if it was possible at this point. The browser issue can be fixed by using opera (which is everything except perfect), but there are a lot of other ui elements that suffer from this too.
Can't believe nexus has had this good reviews as it has. Also, I can't believe Google's attitude towards this problem, perhaps they can fix it with ice-cream sandwich, but that ain't coming until Q4, a year after the phone's launch.
I find it quite interesting that other android phones, phones with skins, don't suffer the lag issue - or nearly to the extent the nexus suffers. God, it simply isn't acceptable to wait until November-September time frame... iPhone may be limited to the extreme, but at least it works. I loved my Desire from the beginning, should have not sold it.

gee i thought i was the only one who noticed this lag
i come from an iphone, so i know what "buttery smooth" means... the nexus s is NOT "buttery smooth"
the stock browser SUCKS.. can't handle images very well (try scrolling up and down http://www.anandtech.com/ you'll see what i mean)
i use opera because it's the smoothest browser out there... i've tried firefox and stock browser wrappers like dolphin, miren, etc but they all lag in comparison... i use opera with the stock browser's user agent because web developers don't care about opera (browse the internet with stock opera settings and u'll see what i mean)

What I think is interesting is how many people on the forums who say they love this phone because it is "PURE GOOGLE!" as if they did not realize that the issues are not getting fixed in a timely manner. (radio issues, battery issues, browser lag, etc.)
I'm using opera as well. The stock browser is a pile of garbage when there's more than a few images. It's pretty sad.

if it doesn't lag at all for you (iphone smooth) then i might have to give CM7 nightly and trinity kernel a try too

here you go, i went to both sites http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKLTpgYXae0
wow that's impressive! what's your secret?
i can't stand the stock browser lag... and i can't stand the non-webkit opera... i want the best of both worlds (smooth and well supported, respectively)
here's a video i just made:

this test is repeatable with stock rom, previous netarchy kernels, trinity uv11 kernel... haven't tried cm7 though
now i just might have to cm7 nightly and/or trinity kernel... i have a feeling it has something to do with cm7 nightly

The browser is usually pretty fast after a fresh reboot. Give it a couple of days without a reboot and the browser slows down quite a bit even with cm 7.1 nightly and trinity kernel.
That being said, cm 7.1 does have some performance mods that make it faster than stock.
So is the browser laggy or websites not configured right for mobile view
Happens on my tablet some sites are great and some not so good

Its the browser... opera can handle these websites no problem... so can my iPhone 3gs
I will try cm7 nightly

eww.. i see what youre talking about. im glad that i dont get that! what kind of data speeds do you see, because that will affect it too.
Google Chrome
I was just wondering and wanting to get a bit of an overview about Chrome on our device. At the moment I'm running a non-Sense ROM and in my experience so far Chrome really lacks speed and fluidness. It takes long to start it up, it's slow bringing up my keyboard and everything just doesn't feel snappy.
Question is, is it me, my phone, or is it slow in general on the HTC One S? How does it perform on your device? Please include what ROM you're using as well.
I would expect Chrome to run like sunshine, since it's Google's product. The stock browser seems a lot snappier, but it lacks the syncing with my Desktop Chrome.
