Transformer browser problems - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I'm an Android poweruser, but definitely no guru, so I decided to share this problem with you guys. Although less urgent, it's still bothering me.
I've recently (a few months ago) purchased my TF300t. For me, it's the perfect device. However, with all it's quad core magic, the browser frequently hangs on me. Sometimes, it just works perfectly, but other times it freezes for about 5 seconds after which I receive the force close image. Would I press wait, I could continue browsing. Until, of course, the next pageload. This might seem like something minor, but it completely ruins the experience of having a great quad core tablet.
Here's some facts:
It happens all around the web, although some websites seem to trigger it the most. An example of this is the website foodgawker.com, which is a responsive website. However, this website never gives problems on my S2 with CM9.
It happens randomly. At one moment it may happen each pageload, or it may not happen at all for about 15 pageloads. Feels random.
Other browsers either give the same problem, or a terrible browsing experience.
Yes, the problem occurs after a factory reset
Yes, I've upgraded to the latest available firmware.
After a lot of dialoque with Asus, I sent it off for repairs. But as expected, all they did was wipe everything on it, and the problem still exists.
In the meantime, Chrome for Android seems to have been updated, and the problem is less apparent.
My questions:
Does anyone else experience these kind of problems with their TF300t?
Would unlocking it and installing CM help?
The reason I'm asking is because I want to determine whether or not this issue is hardware related. I don't want to be messing with custom software when I'm not totally sure the hardware's fine.
Thanks in advance

Yes, exactly so in the stock browser or clones. Hitting "Wait" often seems to fix it. Just shifted to Chrome and haven't seen it happen. Got to say not impressed by the browsing experience with any browser - slowwwwwwwwer than I expected.

So you have exactly the same problem? That kinda saddens me, since exchanging it won't have any use then. Are custom roms known to fix this?

I also have this issue....however after using the "brows2ram" app and root access, it seems to have 90% disappeared.
search XDA for the brows2ram app, install, reboot, and grant superuser permission and it seems to help a lot.
after a lot of reading here and the TF201 (prime) forum it is a fairly common issue and most of the users believe the 5th companion core is to blame.
basically downloading/scrolling (two main things in browser) are both handled by the companion core...so when this is done, it boggs down the processor.
i have yet to hear if someone experiencing this on stock OS also experiences is on a custom ROM....would love to hear this.
but if you can wait, Jelly Bean should be here pretty soon....and since jellybean was built around the nexus 7 which has almost identical specs, all lag should be gone. i expect JB to be here by september....hopefully.
in the mean time, brows2RAM has helped tremendously and makes me not even have a desire to unlock and ROM this thing.

This helps me out so much! It would explain why browsing is the only thing lagging, and games like Dead Trigger work flawlessly. I also forgot the Nexus 7 also has Tegra 3. I'm guessing Jelly Bean will work flawlessly on this tablet.
Thanks to your post I'm going to stop trying to solve this with Asus, as they'll probably won't admit this. I'll keep using chrome until the official update is here. I don't even think I'm going to root, because Chrome works acceptably!
Thanks!
Edit -> Also; September? Asus is that quick? I guess being used to Samsung, anything is quick.

I'm running hydro on tf300 with the stock web browser
the pause and wait option does still happen, but very infrequently
when I was on a stock rom, it happened all the time
now with hydro it rarely happens

And how is fluidity of web browsing? Because for me, even on Chrome, the experience isn't what I'd expect from a high-end tablet.

Try Ics Browser + and enjoy.

web browsing seems fine on hydro
there are still the normal hick ups from time to time
the difference in speed and fuidity between hydro and stock is night and day
after being on hydro for about the last month
I really don't know how I could even stand the stock rom
on hydro everything is super charged, super fast, super smooth

I've noticed the same problem on the stock rom, for that reason I switched to a early version of cm10 with jellybean. Haven't seen it happen again ever since

[Q] Browsers shut down unexpectedly

Hi guys, new to this forum. But so in love with Android (own HTC Legend 2.2, Galaxy Spica 2.1, Galaxy Nexus 4.0, Asus Transformer 3.2) that I think I gonna spend quite a bit of time around.
After extensive search, I could not find anyone reporting the issue I have :
When browsing the internet, and mostly while reading a page (ie having no real action on the TF), I randomly experience a browser shut down. Basically, my screen goes dark and I get back to the home screen within a tenth of a second (TF is NOT rebooting).
I don't get any error message. This happens with both stock browser and Dolphin HD. Not sure it is specific to some websites. Still investigating this aspect.
I have disabled Flash with no luck. TF is up to date and stock (not rooted, no mod of any kind).
It's getting real painful. Any idea about what's going on ?

Your not alone. Mine does the same thing with the same browsers. And I can go back to the page that I was on and it will work fine.
I noticed my friends does it too.

It seems strange to me that it would be a spread issue that has not surfaced yet.
I've been doing some extensive search on that matter in various forums with no luck so far.
One guy said he went to the extent of fully reinitializing his TF and he still experienced the problem.
That led me to think that maybe this is a fw issue, related to one of the last updates. I'm sure that this is a fairly recent behavior. I did not see that happening during the first few months of ownership.
Have you managed to detect if it was specific to some websites ?

[Q] Tablet prone to lag and reboots - hardware issue?

Hey all,
My TF300T has been unusably slow and prone to crashes for quite some time now, and I was hoping to get some help. The amount that it reboots depends on which ROM I'm using, and the worst offender was the ASUS ROMs (all versions). I've got Omni installed right now, and I've also had Cyanogenmod installed, both ran incredibly slowly. It seems like no matter what I do, the tablet is still almost completely unusable. I did send it to ASUS once, hoping they would find an issue with the hardware, but they sent it back to me and said there wasn't an issue.
From what I've heard, this tablet should still be performing fairly well, so is it possible that the hardware has failed on this one? My friend has the same model with no issues to speak of. The only difference between us is that I have a memory card installed, but I don't think that should affect it.
Any ideas on how I can diagnose the issue, or get the tablet to stop lagging horribly and crashing?
Thanks!

Memory cards can decrease speeds (RW). Is it a class 10 or lower?

[Q] What's up with the N5?

I'm not sure if people are just really downplaying the bugs their experiencing, or maybe Canada just got a big batch of bad phones but it seems nobody online is having the problems me and a few friends are having with our phones. When 5.0 first arrived I was shocked to find I experienced none of the bugs that everyone was complaining about, 2 weeks later and my phone in unusable. A factory reset seems to clean things up but within another week my phone will become unusable again. I thought maybe my phone had broken until I spoke to some friends and found out that multiple (5+) are having the exact same issues. So my question is what's going on with the n5? How is yours working? I'm extremely disappointed this time around after the great experience I had with the galaxy nexus and n4 and would even say I was a nexus fanboy. After having the n5 since launch I have decided that I will no longer be buying nexus phones, as I have has nothing but problems with the 2 n5s I have owned.
A quick list of some of the bugs I've been experiencing are:
Terrible Battery
Immense lag / lack of response in general.
Facebook Messenger chat heads seem to close themselves about 75% of the time.
Getting the keyboard to come up is a game of hit and miss.
The Wallpaper changes itself to black (my indicator things are about to get crazy)
Data/WiFi often just stop working, while icons in the status bar appear normal
About 1 in every 4 notifications I get fails to actually send a notification.
I get a constant "attempting to reconnect in x seconds" while connected to my moto 360.
My navbar/status bar often disappear.
And the annoying "bug report captured" bug that has been persistent since I got the phone.
I've had these problems on stock 5.0, 5.0.1 as well as all custom Roms up to 5.0.2
I've even tried going back to KK, while greatly improved, I still experience much of the same problems.
Does anyone else have these or similar problems? Has anyone found anything that runs stable? Or is it just time I move on and get myself an HTC?

Using my N5 in germany and it's the best phone I've ever held in my hands Running CM12 (based on Lollipop) for now. Have also been using stock Lollipop for a few months. Both run extremely stable. To be honest: I never heard about your issues. I'm not that big of a fanboy. Never owned a Nexus device before, but I guess I'll never move away from Nexus
Just my honest opinion about the device
By the way: I've got a moto 360, too. And the connection is great - up to 10 meters at least and no random disconnects

I have zero issues with mine, but I'm on stock 4.4.4 so that may have something to do with it. I'm not a fan of Lollipop at all. Too many bugs, and I don't like the look of it.

After one year with my Nexus 5, running stock no root, never a problem. I'm a former owner of HTC flagships phones, never a problem with them.

Using Stock 5.0.1 rooted and with ElementalX kernel is good for me and have been using that setup for over a month now. No issues like what you're describing at all. :S

No problems here like that. Bug report issue is normally a poorly fitting case

Hmm... So it seems that the only people that are having these bugs live in my area... Do you think its possible we all got a bad batch of n5s at the rogers store here?
Edit: everyone experiencing these issues has bought their phones from rogers stores here in my city.

Yeah the devices purchased at the play store seem to be fine now. At first, me personally, I had tons of bugs at release. But those issues have been fixed with updates. Mainly concerning the signal and camera speed.

Thread cleaned.
If you think a report is breaking the rules or shouldn't be there for any other reason please report it and move on, antagonizing them adds nothing to the forum but makes our job harder. Thanks, Tijmen.

No issues here besides the occasional Mobile Radio active wakelock, which I did also see occasionally on KK. I did have some memory leak issues on 5.0.0 but either 5.0.1 fixed it or me removing some 3rd party background services did.

Rebooting is normally my go-to solution for problems but it doesn't seem to help these bugs. I installed CM Security and it constantly warns me about my CPU usage/RAM and battery Temperature. The culprit almost always seems to be the Facebook app (sometimes using 250+ mb of RAM just for background services) Could this be a bug with the Facebook app making my phone perform poorly... Does anyone know of any solid alternatives to the official Facebook app?

Fast for Facebook I'd a good alternative

I've been without issues since the factory images were first released, running CM12 CAF builds without issues (besides cm12 bugs)

So call me crazy but I deleted the Facebook and Messenger apps about 6 hours ago and have had 0 problems since... I'm using the official Facebook "Lite" apk I found online and while it is very ugly, things are running much smoother, just hoping that maybe this will solve the bugs I've been experiencing and I'll be able to help my friends get there phones back to a usable state.

[Q][H]Touchscreen issue

Hi All,
During the last couple of weeks, with different ROMs I've been experiencing some touch screen issues. I feel like there is a 0.5s delay/lag on the touches which makes using the phone annoying. I can barely type and touches are not really accurate.
Not sure if there is any good app for testing the touchscreen, but I tried one (Test Touch) and as far as I can see, touches are not registered or are intermittently registered when fast touching the screen. (See Video). When I slowly drag the finger, a continuous line is traced.
I couldn't find anyone else having the same issue hence I'm posting this. Thanks for the help.
Current ROM: Temasek's UNOFFICIAL Build, 10.1, CM 12.1 .
Stock kernel.
Edit: Ram use is always lower than 50% and CPU usage is low.

You're not the only one- I opened a thread about this. Seems as something happened as people updated to android 5.x as did with me.
Hopefully someone can figure something out!
Seems more like an input lag- like you mentioned. Really annoying and makes it hard to type fast or use swype function.

I've been having this issue too! I thought it was the ROM, but I am on my second one now with the same touch lag . I didn't have the issue in 5.0, though. I might consider downgrading and hope that that fixes my issue. Any help on this would be much appreciated

Happy to know I am not the only one having this issue , good that we are on the same boat.
I'm travelling in a few days and can't go abroad with the phone in this "working" conditions so I will have to downgrade for sure. Any 5.0 ROM to recommend? A solution for 5.1 would be better

haha I was on Blisspop for a long time before moving to 5.1, it's a fantastic ROM!

I flashed Slim ROM, touches delay improved a bit but I was experiencing some lag on the hardware keys.
I just flashed last bacon firmware (from April 09) and RobbieL811 ROM and seems to be running smoothly, I wonder if it was a firmware issue. Thoughts?

Right, I have the same bloody problem, and I'm seriously thinking of going back to kit kat. What the hell happened, it worked perfectly. Does everybody have an unlocked bootloader? COS12 worked ok, lagged when hot, only after I unlocked the bootloader did it all go to ****. I just hope it'll go back to normal on KK and it isn't a permanent thing now..

I have an unlocked bootloader and have moved from 11S to 12S and find its a lot better. I've seen people say they find the update better and some who have issues but your boot loader shouldnt really come into it. How did you update, what did you do since unlocking your bootloader?

Went with COS12 for a while, then tried a 5.1 rom and it started going down from there. COS12 lagged a lot when the phone was charging, it got very hot for a while, and then cooled down. I don't know why touchscreen issues started happening, it worked ok for some time after installing 5.1, then for instance the settings app started scrolling slowly, the notification panel as well, some touches stopped being registered.. It's a weird issue, because it's not lagging, like skipping or so, but mostly it feels like the phone is in slow motion.

Same happens to mine.
I flashed 3 different ROMs today, 5.1 and 5.0, it was working fine for a few hours with one of them but after that It started with serious problems, to the point of nearly not registering any touch. After a reboot it improved a bit but it makes the phone unusable. I'm flying abroad in less than 12hrs and really need the phone.
Flashing a stock ROM or going to kit kat are the only options I see now.
Edit: Here I found some useful post, they state it's hardware not software.

we're not alone man, multiple threads are popping up with people suffering from similar issues, including on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/33ky0u/open_post_to_oneplus_with_all_our_love_and/

I am having the same severe issues as well.
The nightmare begun after the 05Q update.
Ever since that update, no matter what I've tried, the touch problem is here.
I've tried numerous Roms + kernels combinations with no use.
OP support was trying twice to reset my phone to full factory reset to both Oxygen & CM11s with no use.
That is so frustrating.

i have the same problem, but only when i go outside and the weather is nice

Lenovo TB-X705f P10 tablet random crashes lockups

As the title says, There is no rhyme or reason. open an app crash to home screen. try again tablet reboots. Works fine for days then constant reboots and crashes. Love the tablet but when major apps like facebook. twitter, youtube, just starts crashing and rebooting the tablet something must be wrong. I did just reset the Cache and will see if that helps. I was thinking about rooting and looking for a custom rom. Found the guide for rooting but am not sure if there is a custom rom for this yet.
Anyone else with this tablet experiencing this? I still have a month and a half left on warranty service. Should I attempt to try and get Lenovo to authorize a send to repair or is it not worth the hassle?
Thanks in advance for any help.

You are not the only one as I have the same tablet and therefore have the same problems. It seems like Lenovo is done supporting this hardware. The only way to get around these problems is to install custom firmware.

Love the tablet but when major apps like facebook. twitter, youtube, just starts crashing and rebooting the tablet something must be wrong. I did just reset the Cache and will see if that helps. I was thinking about rooting and looking for a custom rom. Found the guide for rooting but am not sure if there is a custom rom for this yet.
Anyone else with this tablet experiencing this? I still have a month and a half left on warranty service. Should I attempt to try and get Lenovo to authorize a send to repair or is it not worth the hassle?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I have exactly the same problem, although for me it never really works fine for days, at most it last for one hour, then it just crashes for no reason or patron and it makes a sound (it is not a sound of a normal restart, not digital, but it sounds like disconecting a computer from the power supply, like a hardware matter) anyway, did it work for you? I still have one month on warranty service, but It was bought in Finland and now I am currently in Peru, I fear that I wont be able to fulfill my warranty rights.
I will try the solution our friend Bwildered01 suggest us. Good luck and thank you so much!

I just stumbled across this thread...
I have had two of these tablets since 2019 and for the most part they've been great. I use them a LOT and I would say 90% of the time they behave. Sure, every now and again something wonky happens and I have to reboot. However, I think that's true of every computer type device I've ever used.
I don't know if it's a Lenovo thing or a Android Pie thing, but sometimes memory management ****s the bed. Chrome and a few other background processes will slow it down to a crawl. I use a system monitor when this happens and I kill greedy apps that are eating up resources even though I thought I had closed them. That seems to make the tablet happy again.
Are you guys using the latest firmware? Right now you should be at Android 9 with the most recent OTA update from November. The current version is: TB-X705F_S210164_201119_R0W
