Am I the only one who's browser had been made useless by 3.2? Whenever I scroll the screen redraws in large blocks, or the entire page flashes white and takes several seconds to redraw the entire thing. The browsing experience gets slower and slower until the browser closes. Not a force close, it just disappears, leaving me at the desktop.
I even did a security wipe, thinking maybe that might fix it. No luck yet.
I have seen a few issues where the browser just vanishes and my tab state is lost. Some times when watching flash videos they disappear now, and this may be more of a flash issue but sometimes if I move my tablet and it tries to reorient (landscape/portrait) flash will just give me a big '!' and I'll have to start over. Just a couple things I've seen since 3.2.

I have add-ons set to on demand, so I doubt flash is whats causing the crashes.
I hate the lag when you type and I find the fact that you can't download certain kinds of files just stupid. I switched to opera mobile for said reasons. I wish they would fix and improve the stock browser because I like how fast it is in general (apart from the horrible typing lag).

Same problems here also.
Found something interesting: the dock is causing the problem. When undocked, the tablet performance is great. When docked, the performance tanks (in addition to the browser redraw problems).
Hope this gets fixed in the next patch.
I have been using Dolphin browers & it isn't much better. The typing lag is better but it still has issues. I'll be typing along & then come to apoint where I cannot backspace. This will happen with both the stock & Dolphin. I have used Opera but it is a little slower. I have also had the stock browser just close on me too like others. I am not sure if there is abrowser issue or a Honeycomb issue. I wish these issues would get resolved.
Also to note my issue have be worse since the three.two update. See I cannot even type numbers. I should be this & just want to toss my trasformer out the window.

Same issues undocked here. Browser crashes constantly. Notice it on forums usually. Typing is fine, but deleting or backspace sucks ass.
I wish the browser would just not crash. The only thing that really pisses me off.
I wonder if the Xoom is having simular issues.

This has been happening to me a lot lately. Pretty annoying that's for sure. I also have some issues with trying to search in the web address window. It just doesn't work right. Sometimes i get unexpected operations too.
The closing is mostly when browsing forums...what I do quite a bit unfortunately.
ok so it's not just me! I just got my tab a couple days ago and was shocked at the browser performance. Anyone have same issue in custom rom?
Im having the same keyboard lagg, and poor browser performance. Using Dolphin for tab now which is a bit better. Also im using hackers keyboard(market). Together This increases the responsiveness, but its still poor for a tablet with these specs. Especially flash video playback is way better with dolphin.
Im also interrested if custom roms have these problems too.
hi everyone!
just want to bump thhis thread, I have had this problem for some time. i don't like to post on the forum, i just search. However, this is pissing me off beyond belief!
It happens on both my stock browser and dolphin for pad, like has been said, mainly happens on forums (I do spend most of my internet time on them). Most times i'll be scrolling a page or trying to press a link, other times i am not even touching the tablet and turn off
can anyone shed some light on this for me please? is there anything i can do to stop this?
Download & install Opera. It is by far the best browser out there. The stock browser is just plain horrible & the Dolphin tablet browser isn't much better.
Try Firefox. I think the best browser.

Im on revolver Tom
Blades kernel
Thumb keyboard
And the improvement is clearly present. No lag while typing.
I had tried clemsy kernel 20 and 21 but noticed my page loads were extremely slow plus several times they would just hang forcing me to reboot.
I tried dolphin..stock..and opera and all lagged bad
I'm now back to browsers and have yet to have a major issue. Was actually tuning fantasy foootball flash app off their website with no issues.
A little off topic but is there a way to always keeps the toolbar docked on dolphin? I would also like a hone button always present. Is this possible?
As above im on revolver with blades and im still getting block loading and type lag on some sites. especially the ones with a chat box. Only really appears to be forums. I dont get it with opera but its the time it takes to load.
I have the same issue. The stock browser or dolphin for tablet shutdown without any message (no force close), principaly on forum too...
I'll try Opera to see if it's better.
Any news from Asus about this problem ? Is it a know issue ?

I dont really know why but my stock browser force close or even unexpected close.
does this happen to you TF?
Mine used to only crash every blue moon, but after the latest firmware update it's crashing quite a bit.
About to try Dolphin HD or another browser...
Yes, so currently I am using Dolphin HD until the build in browser is more stable.
yep..it did randomly force close on mine too... not a huge problem but can be annoying at times..hopefully it gets fixed soon
Mine has been crashing too...it does it on some web pages more than others. If you go to gmail, ti crashes almost all the time. Not that I need to go there, but I was testing to see what cause it to close. Haven't found any reason besides that while it started doing this....my trouble with the blank screen has decreased. I only had to reboot it once last week. But this week it has already blank screen once.
it happenned to me very rarely. But after the update, its doing more often.
Has anyone experienced this or has this been discussed in any thread for the TF? But my stock browser often closes unexpectedly with no force close message and returns to the home screen. When reopened, it forgets the recently the opened pages. Very, very annoying..

I got this a few times last night. It happened mainly on large/busy sites. I think this is an issue that will be rectified with the future 3.1 update.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Had it happen once or twice in the past 3 weeks. I think it is just an HC stability issue.
It seems to happen to me more often after I updated to the latest Adobe Flash 10.3.
Ditto. It has happened here every once and a while... But not enough to bother me.. I assume it will be addressed later.
This happened about 3 times yesterday evening while I was browsing. I don't know if it is related to a HC stability bug, or an Adobe Flash bug, although I'm more inclined towards the former, because I can browse perfectly fine with my Atrix on Flash 10.3. Also, I noticed a strange thing for the first time yesterday: When the browser crashes with no FC message, and you restart it back again, I get a screen filled with banding and multi-colored interference. Only way to fix it is to restart. I hope all of this gets taken care of with 3.1, because the browser experience really leaves something to be desired on 3.0.1 in my opinion. It just does not handle any heavy pages at all, let alone any embedded videos or just videos period.
happens when you try surfing to gmail
If you would like to see it crash 100% of the time, go to your gmail and try to open a message
It also freaks out in Gmail main page.
I was having browser crashes as well until the sudden disk space full error. After my factory reset the browser crashes have gone away. I wonder if they are related.
I got it twice in 3 weeks. It happened both times on Yahoo's ain page.
Happens to me also but never loses its place.
3.1
i first noticed this happening last night, 2nd night after updating to 3.1. never happened before that. i don't have the screen timeout on so the screen will stay on so i can see my moves list at a glance on a website. after about 10-15 minutes of not touching device it will just suddenly return to the homescreen and if i open browser it has to reload the page. i thought maybe it was something to do with the built in android memory management auto killing the browser, since there doesn't appear to be any flash on the page.
i too am having this problem.
Stock browser is where it started, so I go Dolphin HD and it still happens. So its not the browser itself it would seem, since 2 different browsers both do it.
There HAS to be a fix for this...
Since the 3.1 update I'm seeing something different - The browser simply stops responding after a while.

I to am having trouble with my browser. I am experiencing it ceasing to function aftwr awhile as l as frequent crashing when I load it. Crashes all the time if I type anything or use the menu if Ido so before it finishes loading my home page.
When your updated to 3.1, click reset all in the settings menu. Then when it's finish go into the browser settings and set plugins to be on demand. I'm able to run well like that it is flash that kills it, soon as you click the flash content to enable it on a page it may crash.
Ive got a UK wifi Xoom on wingray 59. Every day at some point the browser becomes unresponsive and I'm unable to click any links. I have to reboot the tab to correct it. Is there a work around for this? I don't want to use dolphin as I like the chromeness of the stock pics browser.
So no-one else gets browser lock ups in wingray then?
I also get lockups. The dialog box to close or wait pops up so I just click wait. It normally continues from then on. Sometimes the browser just shuts down. I am not to concerned as my chrome browser on windows does this too quite often.
It is normally on large pages with many links I think.

I bought the tf700 about a month and a half ago after waiting close to 9 months for it. Unfortunately I am experiencing some problems, but I am not sure if the tablet is defective or I'm doing (maybe not doing) something to cause these issues. I have noticed people on other threads are experiencing some of the same issues, but not all of them. The problems include:
*browser constantly crashing/closing
*having to touch the screen multiple times for it to respond
*some websites or appls reloading/flashing multiple times while trying to scroll or type something
*while trying to type, the cursor moving around, jumping to the front of words or deleting words
*taking quite a while for webpages to load
*screen freezes
I really hope that these are problems tat can be fixed because I anticipated this tablet for so long. I find myself frequenly just giving up and switching to my desktop for faster results because it is extremely annoying trying to google something and the page closing or have to retype words in mulitple times because they get erased while typing. I have given up on trying to use the facebook app because the page gets all jumbled up or freezes constantly.
Please give me any advice or suggestion to how to fix these problems or do I just own a defective device?

perform a hard reset and see if that helps. it won't erase anything so no worries.
power down tablet
hold power and vol down until you get to a boot screen
let go and just let it boot the rest of the way
and if you're using the dock, turn off the touchpad when you type. i find that i always hit it which is why my cursor jumped around. not sure if it's the same thing you're seeing.
Thank you! I am going to try that right now!!!! I dont have the keyboard dock =( so maybe I am hitting the screen or something but I have tried to type letter by letter before and sometimes it happens then too. AHH
Hard reset in prgoress..
the issue with the browser closing seems to be an android issue right now and not exclusive to the tf700. I've seen threads complaining about the same browser closing issues on other devices and have seen it myself on my phone as well as the infinity. It doesn't seem to be isolated to one browser either.
Purchased my Droid Razr HD on launch day and I must say I was in love with the phone on ICS. Was extremely excited when the JB update hit. But since I updated, my phone has been a complete mess. I have been patient in hopes it would fix itself, but below are some of the issues.
When I unlock the phone, the clock in the circle widget lags, so I will unlock, it will say 2:00 for a solid second or two, then update to 2:10. The time should not lag like that. It basically lags and adjusts every time I unlock it. If I haven't touched my phone in 45 minutes, I'll unlock, it will say 2:00, then two seconds goes by and it updates to 2:45
When I hit messaging to view my texts, all of my contacts show up as just phone numbers, then after a few seconds the names load. If I scroll down further they are still numbers then switch to names.
The browser goes unresponsive. Everything from inability to swap tabs, to hitting a link. Usually I'll force stop chrome.
Overall the entire phone experiences major lag issues. Typing, swapping apps, etc... Anyone else experience this? Could the phone have just downloaded the OS poorly?
same here buddy! i wish i can roll back to ics

It's seriously making me want to dump this phone.
Indeed there is lag. Here's a funny thing, I get lag using the stock launcher and swiping the page from left to right with the any of the stock image wallpapers loaded.
However, if I use a live wallpaper (say Phase Beam) the swiping from left to right with the live wallpaper active is blisteringly quick.. How fcuked up is that?
I am having the same issue. I factory reset the phone before flashing JB. I also have times that the phone is completely unresponsive and requires a hard reboot. Any ideas?
there is definite lag when scrolling over to the quick settings page, idk why motorola can't get that fixed. My big complaint is the lack of stock android browser. I hate chrome, its slow compared to the aosp browser. I actually bought another Galaxy Nexus and am going back to that. Will miss the battery life though. You could always use the utility in the dev section to go back to ICS though
I used the utility to go back to ICS. I didn't have lag issues, actually my phone on JB was much faster and smoother. I went back because of all of the features missing from JB. For instance:
1) Motorola keyboard (much better than the AOSP keyboard in JB IMO)
2) Manage internal storage feature (gone in JB)
3) Wired headphone equalizer in ICS works on anything coming out of the headphone jack. (In JB it only works in the music app)
4) Also there is a bug where if you are listening to music through headphones and get a text message, the notification only comes through at less than half volume and there is no pause in the music. I have missed several text messages because of this. Even if i know the sms is coming through and i see it appear on the screen i still can't hear it over the music
I'm sure there were a few more things i am missing, but those were enough for me to switch back.
same lagg here
on ics, adw launcher heped with my lagg, but on jb, doesnt seem to matter what launcher i use, lagg everywhere. unlocking is annoying and sms app takes a bit to populate. cant wait for a solid cm 10.1 for this. I feel like its the only fix.
I would have thoght since motorola is owned by google, the os would be as good as the nexus. NOT even close
Not the ideal solution, but have you guys tried doing a full wipe factory reset and/or wiping the cache partition?
My Razr HD has just started developing a "dim" screen from waking after a long period. Not sure if this is software or hardware, it doesnt happen all the time - maybe once a day - but I have to go to the display settings and check/uncheck the auto brightness box to fix it....
Any of you out there having a similar issue??
I installed nova launcher prime and it is extremely smooth.

I wiped my cache using fastboot and, initially at least, things seem much smoother. Give it a try.

What? I tried to get to the stock recovery, but I cannot seem to get past the "dead android" screen no matter what button combination I try.
Edit: you have to be really precise when holding down the volume up and down buttons lol
Is it hold down the power/lock button, then tap volume up? Think that's the combo on my Nexus S
I've been trying to figure out this lag thing too...I really dislike lag. I disabled Google Now & disabled the Verizon Apps as previously suggested. I also think I may have found something awesome:
It may be premature, but I believe I've found a way to get rid of almost all lag. I installed this apk called Seeder.
My lag pretty much gone. I've been disappointed in EVERY Android phone I've ever had (because of lag)...this seems to have fixed it.
I installed the leak the second it was confirmed to be the legit Verizon approved build and the lag for me was comparable if not slightly better than ICS. Nova Launcher is good though, you lose the settings menu that always lags the first time you swipe to it, but you can replace that with Power toggles for the pull-down menu.
What you're experiencing seems much worse than what I remember because the phone was still highly usable, just not perfect. I was never a big fan of Circles, even after removing it from my home screen it would find its way into my list of running processes till I froze it with titanium backup. I froze virtually all the Verizon crap that'd run constantly too and the phone has been nearly flawless since installing Nova.
Also came across several sites I need to access for work that render horribly slow on Chrome like Hawaii'sVIP, it just chugs along like a slide show. Dolphin Browser on the other hand renders heavily populated pages almost instantly. It also looks truly hardware accelerated during rapid zooming and scrolling, where Chrome often jumps around and loads the page in chunks.
