Has anyone experienced this or has this been discussed in any thread for the TF? But my stock browser often closes unexpectedly with no force close message and returns to the home screen. When reopened, it forgets the recently the opened pages. Very, very annoying..

I got this a few times last night. It happened mainly on large/busy sites. I think this is an issue that will be rectified with the future 3.1 update.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Had it happen once or twice in the past 3 weeks. I think it is just an HC stability issue.
It seems to happen to me more often after I updated to the latest Adobe Flash 10.3.
Ditto. It has happened here every once and a while... But not enough to bother me.. I assume it will be addressed later.
This happened about 3 times yesterday evening while I was browsing. I don't know if it is related to a HC stability bug, or an Adobe Flash bug, although I'm more inclined towards the former, because I can browse perfectly fine with my Atrix on Flash 10.3. Also, I noticed a strange thing for the first time yesterday: When the browser crashes with no FC message, and you restart it back again, I get a screen filled with banding and multi-colored interference. Only way to fix it is to restart. I hope all of this gets taken care of with 3.1, because the browser experience really leaves something to be desired on 3.0.1 in my opinion. It just does not handle any heavy pages at all, let alone any embedded videos or just videos period.
happens when you try surfing to gmail
If you would like to see it crash 100% of the time, go to your gmail and try to open a message
It also freaks out in Gmail main page.
I was having browser crashes as well until the sudden disk space full error. After my factory reset the browser crashes have gone away. I wonder if they are related.
I got it twice in 3 weeks. It happened both times on Yahoo's ain page.
Happens to me also but never loses its place.
3.1
i first noticed this happening last night, 2nd night after updating to 3.1. never happened before that. i don't have the screen timeout on so the screen will stay on so i can see my moves list at a glance on a website. after about 10-15 minutes of not touching device it will just suddenly return to the homescreen and if i open browser it has to reload the page. i thought maybe it was something to do with the built in android memory management auto killing the browser, since there doesn't appear to be any flash on the page.
i too am having this problem.
Stock browser is where it started, so I go Dolphin HD and it still happens. So its not the browser itself it would seem, since 2 different browsers both do it.
There HAS to be a fix for this...
Since the 3.1 update I'm seeing something different - The browser simply stops responding after a while.

I to am having trouble with my browser. I am experiencing it ceasing to function aftwr awhile as l as frequent crashing when I load it. Crashes all the time if I type anything or use the menu if Ido so before it finishes loading my home page.
When your updated to 3.1, click reset all in the settings menu. Then when it's finish go into the browser settings and set plugins to be on demand. I'm able to run well like that it is flash that kills it, soon as you click the flash content to enable it on a page it may crash.
Am I the only one who's browser had been made useless by 3.2? Whenever I scroll the screen redraws in large blocks, or the entire page flashes white and takes several seconds to redraw the entire thing. The browsing experience gets slower and slower until the browser closes. Not a force close, it just disappears, leaving me at the desktop.
I even did a security wipe, thinking maybe that might fix it. No luck yet.
I have seen a few issues where the browser just vanishes and my tab state is lost. Some times when watching flash videos they disappear now, and this may be more of a flash issue but sometimes if I move my tablet and it tries to reorient (landscape/portrait) flash will just give me a big '!' and I'll have to start over. Just a couple things I've seen since 3.2.

I have add-ons set to on demand, so I doubt flash is whats causing the crashes.
I hate the lag when you type and I find the fact that you can't download certain kinds of files just stupid. I switched to opera mobile for said reasons. I wish they would fix and improve the stock browser because I like how fast it is in general (apart from the horrible typing lag).

Same problems here also.
Found something interesting: the dock is causing the problem. When undocked, the tablet performance is great. When docked, the performance tanks (in addition to the browser redraw problems).
Hope this gets fixed in the next patch.
I have been using Dolphin browers & it isn't much better. The typing lag is better but it still has issues. I'll be typing along & then come to apoint where I cannot backspace. This will happen with both the stock & Dolphin. I have used Opera but it is a little slower. I have also had the stock browser just close on me too like others. I am not sure if there is abrowser issue or a Honeycomb issue. I wish these issues would get resolved.
Also to note my issue have be worse since the three.two update. See I cannot even type numbers. I should be this & just want to toss my trasformer out the window.

Same issues undocked here. Browser crashes constantly. Notice it on forums usually. Typing is fine, but deleting or backspace sucks ass.
I wish the browser would just not crash. The only thing that really pisses me off.
I wonder if the Xoom is having simular issues.

This has been happening to me a lot lately. Pretty annoying that's for sure. I also have some issues with trying to search in the web address window. It just doesn't work right. Sometimes i get unexpected operations too.
The closing is mostly when browsing forums...what I do quite a bit unfortunately.
ok so it's not just me! I just got my tab a couple days ago and was shocked at the browser performance. Anyone have same issue in custom rom?
Im having the same keyboard lagg, and poor browser performance. Using Dolphin for tab now which is a bit better. Also im using hackers keyboard(market). Together This increases the responsiveness, but its still poor for a tablet with these specs. Especially flash video playback is way better with dolphin.
Im also interrested if custom roms have these problems too.
hi everyone!
just want to bump thhis thread, I have had this problem for some time. i don't like to post on the forum, i just search. However, this is pissing me off beyond belief!
It happens on both my stock browser and dolphin for pad, like has been said, mainly happens on forums (I do spend most of my internet time on them). Most times i'll be scrolling a page or trying to press a link, other times i am not even touching the tablet and turn off
can anyone shed some light on this for me please? is there anything i can do to stop this?
Download & install Opera. It is by far the best browser out there. The stock browser is just plain horrible & the Dolphin tablet browser isn't much better.
Try Firefox. I think the best browser.

Im on revolver Tom
Blades kernel
Thumb keyboard
And the improvement is clearly present. No lag while typing.
I had tried clemsy kernel 20 and 21 but noticed my page loads were extremely slow plus several times they would just hang forcing me to reboot.
I tried dolphin..stock..and opera and all lagged bad
I'm now back to browsers and have yet to have a major issue. Was actually tuning fantasy foootball flash app off their website with no issues.
A little off topic but is there a way to always keeps the toolbar docked on dolphin? I would also like a hone button always present. Is this possible?
As above im on revolver with blades and im still getting block loading and type lag on some sites. especially the ones with a chat box. Only really appears to be forums. I dont get it with opera but its the time it takes to load.
I have the same issue. The stock browser or dolphin for tablet shutdown without any message (no force close), principaly on forum too...
I'll try Opera to see if it's better.
Any news from Asus about this problem ? Is it a know issue ?

This is a well known issue. This dead horse is kicked on an daily basis in multiple threads

been having a very annoying issue where i press the back button an all it does is refresh the page. issue is with dolphin and default browser.
*example. if i search something in google and click on a link and want to go back to search page, it just keeps on refreshing the page and only way to go back is to close the browser and start all over again.
I experience this issue as well.
Here's something you can do until someone figures out why this is happening. Instead of closing the browser and starting all over again, try holding down the back button. History will pop up and you can select to go back to the page you were on before. I'm not sure if that works in Dolphin, but it works in the Stock browser.
Same thing happens here, guess its a bug.

This happens on pages that does redirects. So when you hit back, you are pushed back to the redirect page which pushes you forward again. Normal desktop browser behaves the same way.
Its not really a bug with the browser...more like a missing feature. With regular browsers you cab typically go back multiple steps.

When I press the recent apps key while in the home screen, the lower part of the screen flickers. This happens when there are a lot of apps on the list. Has anyone else noticed this problem? The flicker is more like diagonal.
Here's a video:
I've seen it before on my tf101 as well

No idea. Hopefully Asus releases kernel source soon so devs can find all the screw ups.

Doesn't happen on my TF. You are probably using some old app that is causing issues on ICS.
Appears every now and then for me too. Doesn't annoy me too much, but I think there will be some minor updates by Asus that fix some bugs. I'm really curious how the support of the TF101 will be in the future, as there is the newer Prime now (and some other Tablets coming). What do you think, will we see official Jelly Bean for the TF101 by the end of the year or so or will we need to use CM10?
This happens on my TF also. I have noticed that the YouTube app also sometimes makes a similar graphical effect, and then recent apps + being in the YouTube app usually makes the tablet go crazy.
This is also very similar to the 'screen tearing' seen on the TF201, which leads me to believe its software, and will be ironed out by asus in time.
There is no problem with the recent app list on my transformer, but I've this in You Tube homescreen - the You Tube logo on the upper left corner is flickering.

For those who are not experiencing this, are you using a custom rom or stock? Also, this happens if there are more than 7 items on the recent apps list. I think this problem is related to the launcher itself. I tried iLauncher, and there is no flicker on the screen when I press the recent apps button.
I tried the SPB launcher and seems to be working fine.

Using Them EOS ROM, have the flicker with stock launcher and Apex but not with ADW EX launcher.
Guess since Apex is based on the stock it's happening with it too
I have it when I type on YouTube sometimes..

I've been through different ROMs -- ARHD and Revolver but same thing happen. I noticed though that this issue does not occur when the TF is upside down.
I finally found a temporary fix: hold down the key a little bit longer but not longer that it will take a screenshot. I hope this will be fixed on the next updates..
is a mistake that will have to fix asus.
I put several roms, several launchers ..
and any such error does not happen, except if I open more than 15 different applications, the error appears!
if placed vertically does not appear that annoying error.
Never had that issue. Not on stock (.17) or team EOS nightly which Im running now.
Im using nova launcher.
I''m just now installing JB. It didn't seem to run as smoothly as I expected so I''ve done a complete factory reset. I'm having a little trouble getting the weather widget to run . It keeps saying there' s no connectivity yet I know my WiFi is up and running . I''m also downloading all my apps, so everything is kind of slow right now. I thing I''ll be using Apex Launcher since the default launcher still doesn't have many features. It also doesn't us all the possible screen real estate.
Looks like I finally got the weather widget set correctly. It took a factory reset but I think a factory reset is the way to go for this new softwear update. I''ll update after all my apps finish downloading.
I didn't factory reset and mine already runs amazing. Not sure if I necessarily see need for it.
Got my factory reset all done and downloaded all my Google Play apps. I'm getting a constant notification that I have a Google Chrome update but everytime it trys to download, I get an error. It says something about "cannot download due to server error.
Everything else seemed to download pretty quickly. I am using Wizz widgets and have noticed that I cannot log in to the Facebook or Twitter wideget unless I have both applications on my tablet and have already logged into them! Not sure that's the way it always worked.
I did install Apex Launcher and it's running pretty smoothly. The only problem is that I cannot get the weather widget to showup after a reboot! I'll need to work on that. I have also noted that some of the app lists don't seem to scroll as smoothly as before or as I would expect. I did have one Apex Launcher crash so far but it recovered pretty quickly.
My TF700's been running JB for only a little while. I"ve shut it down and restarted a couple of times just to see if it gets better. Time will tell. Now to try out Netflix and Hulu+ to see if they work OK.
All is well with my update, I suppose. Had to disable Browser2ram. Kept getting permissions notifications, over and over.
Biggest issue fro me so far: I no longer have a power control widget. What's up with that?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
We'll so far everything is working just great. I've looked at a Netflix movie, Hulu+ movie, and viewed a number of YouTube vids and all ran very smoothly. No stuttering or anything. I also noticed that Netflix scrolling is smooth the way it should be. I've ran both the default browser through a number of web sites and haven't experienced a single crash. The same with Boat browser. I finally got Chrome to complete it's update and I'll be giving it a try.
I still can't get the ASUS weather widget to stay on screen visible. Once I put it on my screen and then go to something else, I come back to an empty space. If I try to put something else there, it shows me the outline of the ASUS weather widget but there's nothing visible. Very strange. I've switched to HD widgets for now.
One thing I did notice with Jelly Bean, you can now place widgets from alternate launchers (Apex and Nova) from the widget drawer. You don't have to place them by holding down on a screen.
Everything seems to be smoothing out. I hope this keeps going as well as it has so far.
My wifi isn't as fast anymore, my phone with cm10 on it gets triple the download speeds using speedtest app side by side. My tablet a little bit of lag that it never had before. I did factory reset also.

So far so good. Loving jb on the 700. Everything seems to be working fine on mine hopefully everyone else is going good also.
To the person above with weather widget I had to fix my settings and that fixed it for me.

Didn't have to do a thing. Exemplary execution of the bean. Everything is smoothly operative.
If I run into anything while more deeply into an app I'll report back.
Thank you Asus.
Running great so far. Haven't tested much outside of the browser and come apps. Overall seems way better and smoother. About to stream it up to the tv so hope all goes well there...
So far so good. Only 1 reboot. Restored to factory. Reinstalled all software. A bit disappointed as I was hoping for better I/O performance and quadrant score. Device still sluggish when reading and writing to sd card.
Anyone tried Google Now?
Tried to trigger it after the update. I tried the unlock ring method as well as the press "Back", "Home", or "Recent" buttons with an upward swipe. I get the little google target. It starts for a split second, then I see the small popup at the bottom saying "network error. Check your connection...". The google search screen comes on and that's it.
Not rooted and I haven't done a factory reset yet as everything else seems to be working well and thought I would post here first to see if anyone else is having the issue.
Thanks, Jim
Games seems to be working well. I've never been able to play Nova 3 before it would always freeze and flicker. No longer. Runs well. Trying out MC3 now see if it gives me those known issues with getting disconnected in multiplayer mode.
Update: MC3 no longer disconnects during gameplay on multiplayer. JB has been a welcome change indeed.

gn works great for me. first time i got that error as well. just go in to your app drawer and set up google now (google icon).
I'm happier with my tablet now, the update makes me feel better about ditching my Note 10.1 for the Infinity.
Some forum apps are loading kind of slow though.

Jelly Bean is a little sticky.....
Downloaded JB this morning and really happy to see Google Now, but didn't really see much of a speed improvement. Maybe cause it was fast already with ICS. Two things are a little confusing. I thought that JB was making the stock browser CHROME, well I still have the ICS stock browser and flash works fine. The other thing is that the tablet sometimes freezes at seemingly simply tasks and completely re-boots.
Do you think a factory reset would help?? Or is there a setting I need to tweak??
