Stock web browser glitches

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

Browser lag ever fixed?

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.

You should try the iphone. I hear the pinch to zoom works flawlessly on it.

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.

The double tap to zoom doesn't capture the text I want to read like my old droid x did anyone know what could be the problem? sucks it was very useful on my droid x and on the droid charge it barely zooms in at all

Are you talking about the browser? If so, download Dolphin HD from the Market because that browser is MILES ahead of the pile of crap stock browser. It also has the feature you're referring to.

I would recommend the opera mobile browser...by far the best of the half dozen out more browsers I have tried...takes a bit long on launching but the scrolling and menu bar are amazing

i have tried almost all the browser's there is in the market and i def. think dolphin browser is the best!

I haven't tried Opera but a lot of people say it's a nice browser and directly competes with Dolphin for the spot of best mobile browser Try them both.

+1 for Dolphin. Been using it since I had my Droid Eris.

[Q] Does your browser suck?!

Hi all,
Does anyone else have really bad scrolling, etc with their stock browser? I can hardly scroll the simplest pages and when it does move it moves in one big choppy motion with no fluid movement at all.
Anyone else experience this?
I am running LinuxBozo Beta 9 with the I9000 SensatioN ROM if that matters...

Im.always having troubles on stock.browser... But still.its about tastes
Peronally everytime i flash a Rom i go directly.to market for.my.dolphin.hd browser.
Search the one that fits your needs
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

I also use Dolphin browser HD. Even before using the stock browser on newly installed roms, I go straight for Dolphin. It is smooth, fast and I love the UI. You can try other browsers too depending on what you like!

Hmm... Surprisingly, Dolphin for me, would be laggy most of the times, and the scrolling was many times choppy.

I personly get dolphin.hd browser asap. I do this since I read alot from Fanfiction.net when I do not get service so I can set it to save the web pages with "Save this page" via a gester and then jump to the bottom of the page with another gester so I can save multiple chapters at one time. When reading them "Save this page" has its own browser.

Try Opera Mobile. It's the smoothest scrolling browser i've tried on the infuse.

Yeah. That's the one I use. The only problem I've had is that it doesn't want to connect to my university's website, but it really isn't a big deal. Scrolls great, loads great, and the tabs work really well.

My SGSII browser is smooth as butter and has no lag what so ever. I have the international version of the SGSII.
That browser is so fast that more often than not when I'm scrolling with it I overshoot where I wanna go because it just takes off... LOL.
I installed Opera on my Infuse and it seems to work very nicely. I forgot how nice it was when I had my Samsung Omnia running Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional...

Updating broswer?

Is there any way to update the broswer from 2.3.3 to cm 2.3.7 ?
I am running the rooted stock 2.3 gb and I have alot of broswer problems. It will just close out for no reason, or if I get a phone call while on it it will end up going back 2 pages. So can I update it without upgrading the rom?
I would run cm rom but I hear there is problems with data, sd mount.
I tired a adb push but when rebooted it forceclose n wouldnt open but maybe I didnt do everything right or it cant be done.
Aby help u can give id be thankfull

Those are the worst 3 if you ask me ... Sometimes the best browsers aren't the ones with the most features. Try some more.
Personally, I like Boat Browser... there's a lighter version called Boat Browser Mini also. But again, there are LOTS you can try.
