Does anyone else notice a lot of checkerboarding when scrolling down a web page? Why is this, the captivate never did it and was less powerful spec wise....
infuse 4g "a lot a screen real estate"
I'm noticing that, as well as the page jumping from zoomed in to out then in again when I'm scrolling (even slowly) along a page. Clearing data helps for a bit but this is frustrating. Running Infused/infusion combo clocked at 1.7ghz.

I have this too, perhaps RAM isn't being used efficiently in the stock browser?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
The stock browser's suckiness is well documented. Use Opera
Its because of the page loading. let it load all of the way and then try to scroll.
Hope this helps!!!

Yea but the captivate could scroll before the page loaded

The Samsung browser in 2.2.1+ does this.
The Captivate is still officially on 2.2.

Try Opera Mobile. It kept me from returning my infuse.

Not in my case, fully loaded pages. This is the first time I've had an issue with the stock browser.
This is the worse browser ever, I miss the stock browser of my htc desire hd. Now I'm using dolphin hd, try any other browser in the market and u'll be happier!

Skyfire and opera (tho opera does this at times as well)
Mine rarely does it after the page has fully loaded.
I am using a hacked 2.2.1 browser I found in a thread and found it to almost eliminate this problem...
I just don't remember where I got the APK but I do have it. It also allows 8 windows opened. Want to give the hacked browser a shot?
I've only had it installed for a day...

About twice a day, when browsing with the default browser, it will lock up, give the one vibrate followed by two...stay locked up, do the vibration pattern again and then present a black screen. About two minutes later, it appears it rebooted but never showed the Samsung or AT&T logos...
Anyone else having this issue?

Has not happen to me.
It could have been the site you visited. Try Dolphin HD, much better than stock browser.

All of the Galaxy S phones experience this occasionally when viewing certain heavy websites like the pocketnow.com desktop site, especially if you get a few tabs going. Nice to see Samsung still hasn't fixed that. I suggest Opera Mobile.
I can vouch for the browser crapping out on any large website, this was one of reasons I switched from the captivate to the inspire. Used an infuse today and noticed the browser froze right away on anything with flash content.
I like the stock browser but I will try Opera Mobile for a while to see if it helps...it was my browser of choice on WM 6.5
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
If I remember correctly on my captivate there were a few development who had tweaked the browser.apk to fix rendering issues and freezing. Will have to go back and read changelogs on some of the custom roms

Well here's my quandry... I like the stock browser and I didn't have this problem with my Captivate... I am just really hoping that we can find a solution for this. I did reset the browser back to default settings and so far in the past couple days this is not happened... I'm not saying it fixed it but I will monitor it for a few days.
Side note however..
How can I make one of the other browsers the default browser and also where do I go to reset that back to the stock browser?
Thanks...

If you're having problems with the stock browser just switch to an alternative like dolphin or firefox etc. Many improvements over the simple UI and limited functionality of the stock browser anyway.

Anyone having issues today where the Facebook app takes you to the mobile page? I've even rebooted the phone and same problem..the app simply takes you to the browser and the mobile page.
I have the same problem, it's irritating as hell! I can't even get to the main menu, it goes right to the mobile site.
oh god i was about to slam my phone on the floor. i thought it was mine.
I've uninstalled the last updates...but that basically puts the "stock" Facebook app back in place that the Infuse came with...it works though...
i cleared the data and it worked for a while then went back to the same thing... OPTIMUS PRIME DISAPPROVES
I'm sure this has to do with facebook and their shenanigans with changing the API so much...
I uninstalled the app, then reinstalled it. It's been working as it should for about an hour now.
Edit: Scratch that. I spoke too soon. Going right to the mobile web version once again. Even that is acting weird.

I wonder if this is related to the rampant app autoblocking that Facebook started yesterday? More collateral damage?
It might resolve itself later today - I know my photos uploaded by KDE KIPI (another victim of the rampant autoblocking) are back.

Anytime I try to download and apk from a website (not just off xda, but websites with paid apps like Gameloft) the download will always be unsuccessful. I've tried a ton of different browsers and different sd cards and nothing seems to help make it work. I've also tried wi-fi or 4g and it always become unsuccessful. I am running Lithium v1.2 and really want to get some Gameloft games off their website. Any help?
Use the opera browser. It is free on market.

I noticed this yesterday as well.
I think the problem is that mediafire doesn't like the android user agent anymore.
If your browser supports it, change your user agent to desktop and refresh the page. You'll be able to download after that.
The browser I used was Boat Browser btw. You guys should check it out

There's a downloader app in the market place that's supposed to help alleviate this issue as well as downloading of large files or files that tend to fail. Sadly I don't remember what it's called.

Hey all!
What is your preferred browser?
I am a continuous user of Opera Mini for several reasons. The top of which being the data usage savings thanks to the compression from Opera servers. My second reason, it's simple to use and fast as all get out even when on 2G.
Being open to change though, I'm curious to see what others use regularly. Thanks guys n Gals, let me know. Any input is appreciated.

stock browser.
its light-weight and therefore fast, all websites run on it no problem and it syncs with my chrome because my chrome is synced with my google account.
but also im on nexus s, so cant really handle the chrome browser optimally.
perhaps for s3 or galaxy nexus it would be worthwhile using the chrome browser.
For me its opera mini just for the fact it loads pages quicker and its snappier than stock or any other browser I've came across.
But when YouTube app decides to start hiccupping I go to stock for YouTube.
