I keep having my browsers stop, they wont finish loading and then when I touch on the address search bar or refresh button on the screen I get the force close message. I'm having problems with the stock browser and also the dolphin hd browser too. It happens after about 10 minutes and I can't find any correlation with certain sites, it's just after a little time no matter what I'm looking at. I did a search and only came across someone saying they were having a problem but it was a xoom and they were also rooted. My transformer is all stock and only about a week old. Does anyone have any suggestions or anything? Besides that I love this thing. Thanks for the help.
some sites are inaccessible without crashing to the desktop. Web browsing is one of the major use cases for the transformer. It will be nice if this geta fixed.
Are you serious? I researched tide tablet for weeks before i decided on it. I knew about the cameras and taking videos not being good, I knee there was a chance for light bleed, and also that there were some problems with hd video playback sometimes. I hadn't read anything however on browsing problems. I tried Firefox and opera along with dolphin and they all stop and crash. I don't understand why someone didn't mention this in their reviews with it being a problem. I've had no problems with light bleed, video playback and the camera is fine for me, but the browsing problem would have dissuaded me from purchasing if I would have known. Is there no fixes at all?
The problem is java script, try to disable java

On Monday I'll have my Transformer for 2 weeks. I just started having browser crashes yesterday only after a couple of minutes of browsing. This has happened on yahoo & xda. At the time I was trying to copy & paste. What I don't understand is I wasn't having problems before.
Also, I am unable to do a search on XDA. The search & keyboard come up monetarily then close.
Are you guys running stock 3.1 honeycomb?

Yes, stock & not rooted
I never get force closing pop ups but everynow and then the browser just closes... but then it depends on the website
I;m running overclocked prime
Mine is just stock, I haven't rooted mine either. I can usually browse for 10 minutes or so before mine stops then force closes. It seems strange that it just started after 2 weeks for the one person. If the problem is Java and I turn it off won't that limit some of the sites? I hate to be limited on browsing, otherwise you might as well get a dang ipad. I hope we find a fix for this it's driving me crazy.
Stock, 3.1 not rooted. The crashing is site specific. It happens with Dolphin as well. Xscope will handle the site, but it has other usability issues (like no zoom) . Do other tablets (zoom,tab 10.1,etc) have these issues? I love paying to be a beta tester.
Same problem here, browser crashes on certain webpages without a warning, switching java off solves the problem but this shouldn't be a solution
Turning off Java Script does indeed help a lot it seems - faster loading and far less crashes. As a web technology noob what do I lose w/o Java script? I browse mostly news/science/tech blogs and forums. Not to many interactive (save Facebook of course).
Any good tips on what losing JV scrips limits?
Thanks!
This has been discussed before Its a known issues (at least to us that have them) and its pretty annoying to say the least. Turning off javascript helps in two different ways (stops crashes and speeds up browsing), but some pages wont display correctly without it.
i resolved crashes with "adfree"
I've never seen my browser as prone to crash or sluggish on the transformer. The only thing I configured is to start plugins on click only (like poor man flashblock - but I prefer it this way on my desktop Chrome too). Running stock 3.1.
i wwill try the adfree and I will post my results.
I've had my Transformer for about three weeks and besides slowing down quite a bit the stock browser and Dolphin have been crashing regularly as of last week. I'm running stock 3.1 - not rooted or anything. It's gotten bad enough that I've basically stopped using it and am using my Acer W500 and iPad. I can put up with some problems in a new unit but if I had known that Honeycomb was as buggy as it seems to be so far I probably would not have purchased this.
i got mine last week, the default browser performance is unacceptable. It just crashes without any warning. Clicking comboboxes , checkboxes and even links in some cases is far too difficult to get right with one go, there are instances where you simply cant do it at all , even after zooming all the way in. Turning off JavaScript is not an option for me, there are simply too many sites using JavaScript for their manus n stuff. Now using dolphin browser, seemsmuch better, but still unreble.I am a huge android supporter, i have a galaxy s and i love it. But recently i compared this against an ipad 2, i hate to say this but with current firmware (3.1 stock, not rooted) this tablet is far inferior to the ipad when it comes to web browsing. I hate apple products,but at this point id rather have an ipad, over this

Try loading gmail web site and see how sluggish the performance is.
Browser Cache
I cleared my browser cache and this seemed to fix it. can someone test and post results?
Has anyone found a good fix for the touch keyboard lag that doesn't involve rooting the Asus?
I have tried to be patient and wait for a fix to come down the p hope, but it still has not happened.
I bought my Transformer to help me write reviews but typeing anything longer than 2 sentences on the stock browser, Dolphon HD, Dolphin Tab,oreven opera is becoming an excercise in futility for me unless I want to type 1 word every 10 seconds or slower.
I do want to keep the Transformer, but I would rather not beforced to buy the keyboard hardware since at that point I might as well just have a netbook pc
Thanks in advance all.
Are you using the Asus keyboard? I'm using thumb keyboard and don't suffer from input lag.

Keyboard dock will not fix the issue. I am typing this with the dock in Dolphin, and it lags badly. The only browser that doesn't lag is Opera Mini. But of course its a watered down page, which I don't mind so much but frequently the page will not load properly so I quit using Mini as my main browser plus I like to view my sites natively in desktop. If it wasn't for the page loading problem in Opera Mini it would be my main browser because it has not typing lag. To be honest this was a painful process to reply using Dolphin it makes me want to hop over to Mini right now.....

Use Opera browser, it's far superior in every way. and does not suffer lag.
Crazypeter - are you using opera mini or mobile? Desktop or android? I just jumped over to Opera mobile and the typing lag is basically gone (desktop setting). Screen redraw while scrolling is bad in Dolphin also, but much better in Opera. I do like the look of the page rendering better in Dolphin, but the typing lag is the ****s
I just used Hacker's Keyboard to type this in Dolphin HD. I'm typing about 40 words per minute, and by the time I look up from the keyboard to check the spelling and whatnot, everything I've typed is all there. If I watch the text input box while I'm typing, I can see about 200-400 millisecond lags every once in a while, but it's almost imperceptable, and none of my keypresses are missed. I didn't notice any more lag in the stock browser, but I didn't test it very well. I'll be interested to see if Hacker's Keyboard helps for anyone else.
Just posted this in Opera Mini, and the typing lag is indeed gone in that now. (Been a while since I last tried it, it definitely lagged badly at one point in the past.)
Unfortunately it has its own set of glitches that are just as annoying, including the text box totally incorrectly reformatting when scrolling the page, and login fields causing the entire page to flash, reload, and occasionally even wipe out the username you just entered when you tap in the password field -- and finding those bugs took all of 45 seconds from opening Opera Mini.
Dolphin HD when I last tried it was as laggy or worse than the stock browser, and so was Opera Mobile. Guess I need to try them again, because the stock browser doesn't seem to be getting any better, any time soon.

Going to give hackers keyboard a try see if that helps, thank you.
Am I the only one starting to hate their tf? I am finding mine more and more useless for web browsing each day. I figure web browsing would be the one aspect they perfect if none else! Examples from tonight.
I try to send a friend a message on facebook.com and when I finally get the slow tf to the new message screen, I click paste and the browser crashes!
In gmail.com I was trying to setup mail forwarding and the keyboard refused to appear on the screen even though my text box was open with a blinking cursor!
Trying to click on various links on web sites it often hits the wrong link.
Trying to watch any videos or flash in the browser is usually uselessly slow.
Overall loading and rendering of pages takes a very long time, especially when compared to a normal computer... shoot, my htc evo loads pages faster!
Using forums utterly sucks, typing is really delayed and scrolling around the page is painfully slow as I have to watch square after square render
Half the time when typing it misses a key then the backspace refuses to work!
Ahhhh... come on Google! Wtf! As much as I hate to say it, I am starting to see why ppl pay more for the ipad2, it usually just works smooth and quick!
I gotta ask what rom your running. I have some glitches now and again but overall mine is snappy. MAybe its time for a cache clearing?
A few of the problems you mention can be solved by using apps instead of going through the browser every time. It's not always the fault of Google that web pages run slow; web developers are notoriously lazy when it comes to optimization for mobile devices like phones and tablets. They're not desktop or laptop replacements, therefore you can't expect the same performance.
The best thing you can do for speed and stability is to use apps more often than the browser. For instance, use the Facebook Messenger app for sending Facebook messages, and FriendMe for all other Facebook tasks. For forum browsing, try using Tapatalk. Other than that, always make sure you are running the most current firmware and plugins.
Like just now, I tried to reply to this thread and nothing would type in the box, just a blinky cursor, I wait a few seconds and still nothing then I type a bunch of garbage and it all shows up! But of course then backspace wouldn't work.. its like hard work just to reply to this thread.
I am using the latest prime rom. I've used nothing but prime mostly and I usually wipe everything and the caches for each new release just to be safe... and I can understand about using different apps but I shouldn't need a separate app for everything, I mean my android phone plays flash videos smoother.. and the facebook apps! Suck for the most part when compared to the site (I know that sentence was messed up but again, backspace wouldn't work for me to fix it!)
Very disappointed.. I love my android evo and have always backed android but this really stinks... I bought the tablet to relax and browse the net, it seems to just have made more work and aggrovation for me..
Have you tried different browser? I use Opera browser and it works pretty good. dolphin HD works pretty well too. Dice Player and/or MX video players? lastest flash version perhaps? I am using Prime 1.8.4, no complain here as far as software go.
i've always used tapatalk to post in this forum, so i never actually tried to use the website to do so.
so i decided to do this via stock browser. my review: it's not perfect, there's a half-second delay to get it going, but for the most part, it's perfectly useable.
i even realized i wasn't even doing the about:debug trick. once i did it improved mildly. i do have flash enabled 100%, and i'm currently staring at a bestbuy flash ad.
overall though, it'd say it's quite useable, not perfect, but not as bad as the OP's case. backspace work fine.

A few people have had problems with the latest prime rom such as slow wifi and browser problems. But like others said, use a different browser such as opera mini.
My suggestion would be to try the revolver rom.
+1 for Opera Browser. I am running Revolver rom and using Opera and it is fast as f%$k with the blockiness 99% gone. Don't know if it is the rom, which I think is faster than prime, or Opera but I am loving my tf more every day.

The only Opera I have used is the mobile tablet one. I may have several tabs open at the same time..I hate having to click on the way you display all the tabs (thumbnails) select a tab...takes a double click or hard to close one. I haven't checked for blockiness being gone since the last update. I thought it was gone in Dolphin HD at first...today it seems back. i hate that about my wifes ipad...not being able to draw or refresh the entire web page at once ..so I can scroll down it properly....
I mostly use Dolphin HD. It doesn't force close or crash any more than Opera does for me.
Yes web browsing does leave something to be desired on the TF. Strangely enough using the same browser on my phone I don't discover the same problems. My conclusion? HC leaves something to be desired... hopefully with ICS things will get better.
Has any of you tried Dolphin Pad? It's a beta version of Dolphin optimized for tablets and works quite better than Dolphin HD.
Oh wait, don't let me post a link because of my post count, ****. Just search for it in the market. It's called "Dolphin for Pad V1.0 Beta"
I have no problems with browsing using dolphin pad or opera. Fast as hell on the revolver ROM. tf was a great investment.

I use the stock browser and I don't have any problems at all with it. When I first got my tf I was able to sync my bookmarks so that every machine I use has the same set - this would be worth a lot of inconvenience as I have a lot of work material in my bookmarks. The tf is not as fast as my desktop but then it wouldn't be would it? It's slower than my netbook's browser but then the touchscreen is easier to use than the trackpad. I don't recognise any of the OP's problems and I've never used any other browser.
I do feel for you, I have had some isues as well. But once i rooted, flashed and yes oc'd I have had alot less issues. I still get some wierd lag and force close apps about once a day but its nothing hat i cant live with, well excpet for the gun bro's lag. Its become unplayable.
I would try the suggestions to use apps and manage your programs a bit better. Clear the cache, check your perms see how it runs then
I love my TF more and more every day, its just getting better and faster with every update from Asus.
I use the stock browser still as well. I have tried various others on the TF and use Dolphin HD on my HTC Desire, but on the TF the stock browser seems the best still, I haven't had any issues with it other than it being a bit slow on forums.
I'm on 100% stock, using stock browser, and on Newgrounds.com right now. Flash is running smooth. Yes, when scrolling down the page I see the empty boxes but they render quickly. TF smokes the ipad2.
I use the official rom and it works GREAT, watch flash videos without a problem. Really if you have those kinds of problems you should hate your rom ( unless you are using the official one, in that case i would factory reset ) not the tf...
I'm using stock browser also. The keyboard delay is annoying I have to say.
For the rest it works OK. Sync my bookmarks with Google which I find very handy.
I'm running Revolver OC and ADW EX.
This is very fast and fluid. I'm very pleased with the way it works right now.
Most of the OP issues sound like browser issues, I can't access gmail settings without any browser crashing too, but no biggy
Forums are known to be slow for typing into, I think we need a browser that supports 2D Hardware acceleration like FF does on the PC etc
I'm running the latest prime rom also and I'm OC'd to 1.5 GHz along with ADW EX and i couldn't be happier with my tf. I also use Dolphin HD and have no problems with it. As someone else said use apps specialized for specific tasks rather than websites.

Don't know if it's necessarily a Nexus S ICS issue but does anyone else find that the ICS browser has a really annoying rendering issue? A page can be fully downloaded but it doesn't actually display in the browser until you wait a few seconds or move the page around.
If you move the page around, there might be a block or two that shows up but then other blocks of the page don't.
This is really the only issue I have with the ICS browser as I love the interface. But it's a pretty big issue.
Opera displays pages smoothly and looks great but I hate the interface
I get this as well and its rather frustrating, the really bizarre thing is when you press the page overview button (where you can close a browser page) and you can see the page has loaded.
I've pretty much given up on the stock ICS browser because of this. Even native Google websites like Google News are painful to browse.
I have since moved onto Opera Mobile permanently.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Same thing happens to me. In several ROMS and ICS Stock.
On stock browser and Dolphin HD. Opera Mobile is ok.
opera mobile is best for me , I tried all popular browsers from market..
i use it cca 1 yeat , on iphone 2g and nexus s..
solved
Try using an other scheduler and or governor.
4.0.4 does it much faster so its not noticeable as much as it was when I had 4.0.3.
Anyone else with this issue should give the new Chrome beta a try. It doesn't exhibit this behavior at all and works pretty well in general
Hi guys, I'm posting this here as I can't seem to find anyone with the same problems as me and I am hoping someone here can help me.
Everytime I run Dolphin Browser (ver. 9.3.1), there is a MASSIVE keyboard lag whenever I want to enter anything in the address bar. The keyboard will only show up after a few seconds (ranging from 1-4 seconds) and when I enter the address, some alphabet inputs will be missing as it was not registered by Dolphin due to the lag. So for example, if I entered yahoo.com, only yo.com will be registered on the address bar, eventhough I typed yahoo.com.
General speed of loading the websites is not affected and is quite fast. It's only when there is a keyboard input involved, then it lags like hell.
I have tried tweaking my Infinity with System Tuner Pro to increase the memory limit of Dolphin browser but it doesn't seem to work. I also have Browser2Ram (as part of Cleanrom inheritance 3.3) but nothing seems to work.
Searching for similar problems faced by other owners of Inifinity also turned up empty so I hope someone can help me on this.
I have a rooted Asus TF700 running on Cleanrom inheritance 3.3 ODEX version, but I also experienced this problem when I was running my TF700 unrooted.
Please help! It's driving me crazy as I'm a big Dolphin fan!
Thanks a bunch!

Well i'm facing the same on stock. So i guess its time to write to asus.
I have the same issue with Dolphin as well. I've had it stock and also with CROMI. I have switched to the stock browser which, with CROMI, is so lightning quick and lag free. I also like Dolphin, and still use it for some websites that work better with it or I need Dolphin's add-ons for, but mainly, I use stock and am very happy.
But, no, you are not alone with Dolphin lagging badly with our device.
Perfect on my S3. It is exactly as you say on my tf700.

Odp: [Q] Massive keyboard lag with Dolphin browser
Finally someone else has the same problem as me. This is my #1 issue with everyday use of Infinity. Yes, I could switch to Boat or other brower. But I got used to Dolphin interface.
I wrote about the problem to Dolphin developers twice. They acknowledged it but did nothing about it.
The lag is probably related to the way they programmed Google search suggestions. Try disabling suggestions from Google in Dolphin preferences, the lag will be almost done. All other suggestions (history, bookmarks) will also be disabled.
The problems seems to be as follows. You type a letter. Dolphin looks for search suggestions, displays them, then reads another key, and so on. If many keys are in the buffer, it gets slower and slower. If you type really fast, the keyboard buffer overfills and some keystrokes are lost.
If you use onscreen keyboard, this problem does not occur. With the keyboard dock, you usually type faster. Passing the keystrokes through USB may also account to this. Correct me if I'm wrong.
To sum up: everyone who has this problem, please send a report to Dolphin developers (they have form on their web page). Maybe if more people will report, they will finally do something about it.
I would strongly suggest you guys to use stock. Its almost bug free and also fast enough. On mine it displays the content faster than dolphin and the page load is faster than dolphin. I have timed the loading of all the websites i frequently visit( yes I cleared all history, cache, etc. and also disabled pre loading) and dolphin took almost 5-10 seconds more than the stock browser to load up the pages. You can even try chrome. Its good after the latest update. I didn't try timing it but its better the previous version.
It has been brought up before that Dolphin is less optimized for tablets than it is for the smart phones. Might not be entirely the problem with the device.
