Is it just me or do guys notice a pretty bad glitch when scrolling down web pages on the default browser? Just wondering if their is a way to fix that problem other then to use another browser like opera. Reason I ask is because I only use the default browser to pay online bills and that glitch while scrolling it's really annoying. Don't think it'll make a difference but I'm using infused 1.5.3
thanks.

IV had a few loading issues glitchy/laggy. But It may of been a network issue while loading. I use dolphin browser HD now seen less issues using it.

With the dolphin web browser can it give you the option to respond to web forums that aren't compatible with tapatalk I noticed opera mobile or mini can't do that.

Testing from dolphin browser oh I guess it works nice guess this will be my default browser d from now on
If its the "checkering" you are talking about... All you have to do is let the page load all the way. This issue has been discussed already. The other browsers might do it less, but I like the stock one better.

There is a modified stock browser that you can use. And see if it fixes ur problem.

Here you go. It's slappyjoker's post. Download it, backup the original (I just rename it to Browser.apk.stock) and drop in the modified browser and you're set. Use root explorer to do all of these steps of course.

I personally don't use it much because I have opera as my default for its other capabilities. But there is quite a difference in the modified browser. Feel free to test it out, you can always revert back to stock.

Holy **** that hacked browser made a huge difference in performance. It didn't fix the checker problem but the performance pretty much trumps that issue for me.
Thanks a bunch for the heads up on that browser.

Yeah no problem. A lot better than stock. I'm glad I could help out

Hey guys I'm just wondering if Samsung ever released a fix for the stock browser lag.
I was thinking about getting the phone but this is holding me back.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
Given that you seem to have an issue with any Samsung phone you have, regardless of how big or small the problem is, you're probably better off just not getting it, because even if the "browser lag" is fixed, you'll just find another thing to complain about.
Next he will be complaining about the lack of an LED and saying BLN is not a valid replacement.

No its not the phone. I had it before and returned it for same reason. But after hearing about update i wanted to try it again. If i use the opera mobile browser its perfect with no checkerboard and touch is very responsive. On the stock browser if i scroll it'll respond 2 sec after

No offense, but that is pretty sad if that is the "only" thing causing you to pack up the Charge. What do you like about the stock browser so much that you don't use an alternative anyway? If the problem doesn't exist for the other browsers, why not just use one of them? I can think of a handful of others that are much better than the stock browser anyway.
Seems like you are just trying to bash Samsung for no particular reason.
No im not bashing. I had it once before. And got rid of it for that reason. But i heard the lag was fixed. That why I ASKED IN THIS POST ..... The reason i like the stock browser is it handles alot of webpages better.... Format wise. Its just a taste. Trust i would rather be on a 4g phone.... The thunderbolt was just to big and heavy for me. So i went with the charge. Not bashing... Not meant that way.

Stock browser consumes extreme amounts of CPU.
Do not use
Not gonna bother reading the thread still gonna chime in through, the stock browser sucks but if you're asking about the glitch that was in all the DC reviews where flash froze the browser, then that has been fixed a long time ago.
Also, for browsers I'd suggest replacing stock with Dolphin HD(or Mini, uses less resources) or Opera.
Hopefully someone can help. MY phone is driving me nuts.
I think I am currently using ROM Cwm-GB-2.3.6-Octane-V3.0 XPLOD NO CIQ (phone shows GINGERBREAD.VUVKJ6). If those are different then my ROMs are not flashing.
About 6 weeks ago (running Octane 2.3.6) everything was running just fine then I flashed the power menu and my stock browser became jerky/laggy/jumpy. I have tried loading ROM after ROM but I am getting nowhere whatsoever. I tried flashing some Kernels but the same result every time is the jumpy browser.
I think I have applied the power menu fix but I still have the same problem.
Current Kernel is 2.6.35.7-T959VUKJ6-CL694130
I really only use about 2-3 website and had got used to the browser so using a 3rd party browser is not what I want. Besides I’d like to get this fixed and hopefully understand a bit more of what’s going on.
Thanks
I would try using the scrolling tweak by dsexton.

Thanks for the suggestions. The scroll tweak may come in handy later. I did however get it fixed by downloading T959VUVKJ6-REV00-home-low-CL694130.tar
and then following the NOOB guide for ODIN here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001759
I'm happy just to be back to stock and start over.
Thanks again
The scroll tweak will make scrolling in everything else really smooth as well.

I have this same problem on Anton's BAREBONES rom. It's frustrating because I love everything else works fine with the rom. The scroll tweak didn't fix the issue it's probably something else. I didn't have this problem with the stock rom.

I'll look later today. Seems like common solution for jerky scrolling it to patch framework.res and disable scrolling cache, which is overloading garbage collection.
Edit: Looked at it, unfortunately it's may improve only scrolling in lists (it patches AbsListView.) The browser scrolling cannot be improved this way.
Edit2: Fixed in Barebone 1.0.8
I installed the same rom, and I to have a jerky stock web browser, but what's more wired to me is that my phone looks stock Samsung and almost nothing has changed ! Is that how it is for you?
What new rom do you guys suggest?

"This ROM is very stock-like" taken directly from the op of that ROM.
So, yes, its like that for everyone that flashes. Do everyone a favor and read at least the complete op of anything your going to flash.
As for recommendations, its all about personal taste. My personal favorite to date is unnamed, but I'm currently on vb because I wanted a change and never gave vb an extended run.

Hi, I have observed lot of stutter while scrolling web pages in Opera Mobile. I am using ztock rom ZSLE6, stock kernel. Opera Mobile installed on my phone is the latest version available at Play Store.
Also, I have observed such stutters while scrolling in apps like facebook and even the xda app, and while scrolling through home screens. Note that I have no widgets on my home screens, just app shortcuts.
Has anyone else observed such behavior? Is this an OS limitation? Any solution?

i DONT believe this is a thread on ZSLE6. U mean to say this is a ROM issue? Proof? I have observed this across stock roms, on stock kernel. Can't comment on custom roms coz I haven't used them. Unecessary policing/trying to be oversmart on the forum is uncalled for.

I am using neo v2.1 based on zsle5.... i have noticed that on occasion (usually after the device has been on for a long time) scrolling through the home screen
and launcher is very slow.... clearing memory, closing all the apps down or using an external task manager has no effect on this problem.... however this isssue is usually resolved by a quick reboot (it takes <30 seconds).... But if its consistently slow for you I recommend you take it to the service center as when I was using the stock ROM I dont remember any noticeable lags.
Sent from my GT-I9103 using xda app-developers app
Im not sure If I'm understanding what kind of stuttering you're talking about, but please check; applications=> Display, and on the bottom of the scroll list check "auto adjust screen power" and uncheck the setting, then check the stuttering again... If this can't solve your issue can't help you man.

I dont think changing the auto adjust screen power helps as the problem is not with the level of the brightness of the screen but in the animation effects... still i have always kept the auto adjust screen power unchecked so i dont think that could be the problem....

Haven't had time to revert to ZSLE5. Will report once done. But magically stutter seems to be much less (though still present) on ZSLE6 now. Don't know what's happening!
Flashed ZSLE5, everything seemed smooth. Decided to again try ZSLE6. Things smooth on this as well, don't know what hit me earlier... Some lag was observed in both roms, but then that's android's problem. :banghead:
Looking forward to ICS from Samsung or JB from CM, whichever comes first. Though I wish CM nails it to make our device all butter-y!
Same here...flashed zsle5 n den zsle6...the lag has been reduced further..touch is far more accurate on zsle6
Its funny isint it ??

Just wondering what everyone's opinion on browsers is. I'm using chrome right now cause I'm on aokp and wanted to try it but usually stick to the stock browser or maxthon. I've read good things about dolphin and a browser called uc.
So what do you use?
I've used several just to see what they're like but I always end up using the stock browser and uninstalling the others.

Boat browser works pretty good for me. Pretty fast as well.
Just read about privacy concerns with Dolphin:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...Dolphin's collection of your browsing history
Supposedly fixed in version 7 but bothered me so I switched to Boat Browser which I like better. Customizable side bar, more start page speed dial spots, seems smoother, no random closes, etc. I'm a fan so far.
