Browser

Is it just me or does the ICS browser suck?
I installed chrome, but it has the same issue where it takes awhile for it to be responsive.
ICS+ browser is a bit better, but not leaps and bounds.
Dolphin is ok, certainly better than above. Still doesn't feel very responsive or fluid though.
Is there any decent tablet browser available?

I'm having no love with the browser. Feels like browsing on a 56k modem using some ancient linux distro. I tried all of them, with Maxthon being the fastest. Unfortunately Maxthon became unstable within a day.
The browser is turning into a dealbreaker. Maybe my expectations were too high.

please tell me that they fix this!! a quadcore and browser cant run smooth?!?

i'm using chrome and dolphin HD and it seems to be working fine. why would you all use stock browser anyways?

From what i've read, the browser is handled using the Tegra 3's "companion core."
Because it's clocked at such a slow speed, it has some lag.

I have been using Dolphin on both my TF300 and TF101. I really can't tell any difference in the time is takes to load a page on both tablets.
I have tried other browsers but keep coming back to Dolphin.

i just miss not having no-script and adblock. firefox does have adblock for their mobile browser but firefox runs so slow on this tablet for me.

Totally disappointing experience. Browsing is a nightmare on my tf300t device. it's slightly better than tegra 2 devices (acer a500 and asus tf100), however still not ready for prime time.

Safari stock browser is flawless! That's not a good enough reason for me.

Stock browser is definitely sluggish. Downloaded Dolphin Browser for the first time and it works great, no issues here.

After testing just about every browser available, I have found that Dolphin and ICS Browser+ are the best options for me.
There is still an occasional lag when loading a new page where all input is ignored for upto 3+ seconds.
Flash in dolphin plays fine, but you cannot go full screen, then it crashes.

I and many others have same problem on prime (tf201)
and the whole tab isjust freaking slow.
I believe it's definitely asus crapware and maybe bad tegra3 optimization from asus.
as far as I know, htc one x (also tegra3) runs browsers just fine.
hell, my amaze 4g (dualcore s3 snapdragon) is just flying on ICS... while prime is dragging its tail
I'm freaking disappointed with asus... I really thought this will be my mobile workhores... but ist a piece of crap

Opera mobile runs flawless for me. My prime performance is great. no lag at all. UI super fluid & browser scrolling super fluid. I can't speak for some but me along with others have primes that work great.
Browser issues and other things are very well documented across majority of different devices on ICS. so not an Asus specific issue.
don't believe the hype. lol

I use the Chrome beta. Turn off page preloading and it runs fairly smooth. I'll give Opera Mobile a try later on, though; I like Opera on my desktop.
Just ran my TF300 through Vellamo. It scored pretty much exactly where you'd expect: slightly worse than the Prime, but better than most anything else. So, if a web benchmark is saying our device is great on the web... the issue must lie somewhere else, e.g. slow cache speeds (hypothetical idea)

I like Dolphin, but it occasionally crashes when I have multiple tabs open. However, when you reopen Dolphin, it forgets all the tabs that you had open just before the crash. Is there any way to fix that?

Mx browser no problems at all.....

am using opera next, very fast and stable,
I have the tweak script and am oc @1.5 ghz
but still on 1 ghz and 1.2 it goes fast.
stock browser is good too thou...

I've installed dolphin and it works great, only thing I'm missingis is search on the site. If it's a big site I would like to search on a word on it! Someone knows how o do it on dolphins??

Is this normal?

My single core Xperia play is pretty much on par in terms of internet speed compared to this quad core tegra 3 tablet and it sometimes even loads slightly faster on my xperia play. Why is this and is it normal behaviour? They are both still fast but i would expect my tablet to kinda smoke my xperia play.
Thanks

The firmware is probably not even close to finished yet (ie there are various bugs who will be fixed either by Asus or the community (us)).
You can try browser2ram ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25286407#post25286407 ) and see if it makes a big difference (it should).
Note that your browser history and settings may not (as in maybe) be saved while in a browser session with browser2ram installed (if your tablet crashes and/or you use a task killer and reboot/power down and/or other stuff).
(I haven't tried it, btw. I will when I get the urge)

I'm unrooted on both devices so can't use browser2ram. Thanks for the suggestion though

Other simple reasons for your differences are......You are comparing smaller screen with larger screen ...page rendering will be different size 50 KB vs 150 KB etc..similarly web browser may be different ...opera mobile (which renders pages faster) on phone vs stock browser on tab etc..
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app

I think it pretty much comes down to internet speed being the bottleneck. I think both devices have pretty good wi-fi chips and can browse at same speeds, but rendering on the phone would be less resource intensive since its a smaller screen and all..

The Dark Knight Rises not working (resolved)

Anyone else having any problems with this? It boots up alright (most of the time) but flickers and crashes when gameplay begins. tried it on hydro and cm 10... any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks team!

Give the app: ATP Tweak (version 7) a shot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735887
(Download, then go down to the second post and make sure your app is set up the same way.)
I was having problems with The Amazing Spiderman and this helped.
If you are still having trouble, I would suggest the app: "Ram Manger Free/Pro" and select aggressive gaming option, and then the app: "AutoKiller Memory Optimizer" and hit memory reclaim until your Free Ram is above 500. I also noticed that setting my ASUS setting to powersaving mode helped (perhaps its placebo, but thats what i do before i play big games like, NOVA 3, Modern Combat 3, etc)
Goodluck

I peeked in the market and there are similar reports with various transformer models so there might not be help for this one.

What tweaks do *you* have on your CROMi-X TF700

Hi guys,
just wanted to make this thread to see what tweaks you have on your CROMI-X based TF700, since I have just installed CROMI-X and I am curious what tweaks work and improve overal performance.
Not that I really think it's necessary because sdbags did one hell of a job here, but I am just really interested to see what you have done to make your TF700 more to your liking

I think you hit it on the head. @sbdags has already got ALL the known tricks in his ROM. He is diligent about finding new tweaks and incorporating any and all stable performance enhancements known so users don't have to "tweak" anything. As I understand it, its fully optimized and ready for the race track right out of the box. He's already planning to incorporate my multi-browser script if its not in there already. The warranty period is painful when talking about CROMIX. I can't wait to try it.

It is perfect to me too, but I can't stop reading about people who tweak it to the max with Pimp my Rom, System Tuner, etc.
And I was wondering: does that even still have effect? Because it seems like it could only do more harm than good, considering the default set-up by sdbags
The only thing that could make my tf700 more perfect is faster browsing. Don't know why, but sometimes it hangs (not only during downloads) and sometimes it's blazing fast. And it doesn't have anything to do with my wifi at home, because that is probably the best Internet connection you could get in my village lol

Think that Lucius Zens guide covers all tweaks really well. Have a look for it

Yea, he's already got my browser2ram script incorporated for 4 browsers (stock, naked, firefox, chrome). My final release is out with support for a total of 14 browsers (only if they are installed) with a unmount script available to unload them too so if you wanted you could run my unmount_all script then my autostart4 script to enable supporting 10 more browsers but the 4 you already have wouldn't be any faster.
Hangs you say? I've never had that happen on stock ROM. Maybe the browser is getting shut down by OOM due to lack of memory? You might want to check your OOM settings and possibly try increasing the content providers cache to between 96 and 192MB in System Tuner memory tweaks OOM tab using the aggressive or very aggressive presets but there are some more advanced users here on XDA that disagree with me (and System Tuner) on this tweak. If you do this don't set it in boot settings before you test drive the new settings or you could get yourself in a boot loop if it goes wrong. If it works out, then set it complete on boot to autoload the new settings. I'm running my own settings, somewhere in between aggressive and very aggressive on stock ROM with good performance and no issues.

What are the default OOM settings you are using in your ROM?

Was wondering what Kernel everyone was using, and what is recommended? A few days ago I installed ChromiX 4.5 for the first time ever using a ROM. It works great, and im about to try upgrading to ChromiX 4.6.1. I used _that/ stock modded kernel variant based from ASUS Stock.
My other question is flashing a MOD of 4.6.1 over top of 4.5. Do i have to wipe my tablet and then install every app again? When I flashed 4.5, it was over stock and all my apps were saved when ChromiX loaded
Thanks for any help

You can dirty flash 4.6.1 over 4.5 - no problem there.
I personally think that _that's kernels are the most stable and that's what I'm looking for - no pun intended
A lot of users tried and liked Max's kernel, but I have no personal experience with it.

I agree. If you want stability either use my stock based or the more tweaked _that's kernel as your base. Max and Hunds whilst quick also sacrifice some stability.

I felt the same until this tablet. The xda community really makes android stand apart.
Also if you feel like you might want a bit more Max Kernel v3, is very stable for me giving me incredible speeds. Is just a simple flash via twrp, make a nandroid and try it?

Maxkernel runs well but I would not put it out there just yet as it is not liking 32 or 64 GB Micro SD cards and is tending to wiping them. The issue is being worked on though.

I've been using Hunds Kernal for a while and its great. Better yet is the options now to incorporate CPU/GPU Clocks of your own into the Asus Power Bar via his app. I like just a little bit more power especially on the GPU as needed and it provides that, as well has the Data2SD capabilities.

You could try PIE controls through the LMT app found in the xda forums somewhere. It works fine, but I just haven't really found any practical use for it

I know what you mean about browser lag. It's been a problem from day one. I changed the net core memory settings in system tuner memory tweaks to 1.5mb instead of 1 and all my browsers run faster. Even the stock one.

Slow and not so responsive

Hi,
Currently running on omni ROM with closed framework.
My pad is over clocked to 1500MHz, yet this tablet is slow to respond and laggy at best.
Is this something to expect from this kind of tablet or is there a solution for it?
