[Q] Browser Stuck at 20-30%

Just yesterday I updated to 3.2 and flashed Tiamat 2.1 ROM and Tachi Kernel also. I am not able to access certain sites such as fb, xda, xoomforums ets. But youtube loads fine. This problem was present in 3.1 also. But it solved by itself. What is the issue?
Thanks in advance.
Honeycomb 3.2
Tiamat XOOM ROM 2.1 Hammerhead
Tiamat XOOM 2.1.0 "TACHI"
Connected over ad hoc wifi using Joikuspot on nokia 5800

Please correct me if I am wrong
Upon reading your request and reading about 2.1 Hammerhead and TACHI (url's are where I read) I am to believe that you have the 3g Model of the Motorola Xoom, and not the Wi-Fi only one.
Before you flashed the ROMs, when you were on STOCK, you were able to access the Web Pages and had this trouble before but it fixed itself.
Here is my list of questions to help us, help you!
Are you using the Browser that came with the tablet (Not Opera/Firefox/Dolphin/Etc)
~If no, then which broswer are you using?
~If yes, Have you tried to clear the browser history/cach/cookies?
~~I ask this because when I have lock up for downloads it is because of too much information being stored in one place...
When you use your Youtube function, are you going to WWW.Youtube.com, M.Youtbe.com, or the APK? Same with the other websites that you use too please
Are you in a 3g zone and have you not gone over your allotted package that you pay for through your carrier?
I hope we can help you fix this as soon as possible!

I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=945 to update to 3.2. It says wifi only. Also since I connect to an ad hoc network which the stock HC doesn't support, I'm unable to check if my wifi is broken unless I go my friends home which has a wifi router.
That aside.
-I am using the stock browser. I tried Dolphin but the same problem persists.
-Tried clearing cache, cookies, history and even application data. Even force close, factory reset, reboot Nothing works.
-I navigate to www.youtube.com from the browser itself.
--> Normal apps can use the internet normally.
-I share the 3g from my phone and my plan hasn't run out
--> I tried uninstalling and installing Joikuspot, restarting the phone etc. Issue is not with the phone. Else why woud only a few pages load on my xoom but on my laptop it works fine.
PS- When this problem happened earlier I was on 3.1 with the team tiamats rom and kernel. The whole reason why I upgraded was hoping this problem would go away.

Hypothesis: XDA and other sites use advertising banners which might block loading while their content is loading: sometimes their servers are slow.
(I have this issue occasionally on my Xoom, but not on the same sites with my desktop/netbook because of adblock plus.)

Ok, you are using stock browser, which means that it is trying to load up pages as a ANDROID PHONE/TABLET which makes pages read funkly because they are not coded for mobile. (Examples of mobile pages are but not limited to - M.Google.com M.Facbeook.com www.53.mobi and so on...) I asked if you used Dolphin because it has a setting in the browser that allows you to change the Reader to emulate a desktop computer, a IPod Touch, an IPad, and so on. (Opera Browser Also allows you to do this.) I am actually talking to you on my Dolphin Browser at this current moment on the Desktop Setting!
There is a way to test to see if this is the problem with pages not being able to load in the Android version of the code reader on the Stock Browser (as Dolphin and Opera are just a slight copy and epic change of it.) Here is the list of steps --
Open Stock Browser
type in to Address Bar, without quotes -- "about:debug"
Go to Settings for the browser though the menu key (the drop down at the top right of the tablet)
Go To Debug On Settings (at the very bottom usually)
Go to UAString (Towards the Bottom) and when you open it, you will see Android, Desktop, Iphone, (or something close to this)
Select Desktop and back up to the main part of the browser (This will save the settings)
From there, go to www.facebook.com and if it does not change your url to m.facebook.com, you have sucessfully changed your browser to emulate a Desktop Browser *Please note, that if you are not wanting to do this, Please use the settings in Opera Browser or PDolphin, where they openly state this process in roughly 4 clicks in the settings!*
Please let us know if this helps and if it does, WALA keep the settings (or do what I do, get Dolphin/Opera/Firefox and make them the Desktop Broswers and then use the regular browserfor pages that I know are mobile!)
GOOD LUCK!

[Q] Persistent problem with BBC iplayer and embedded clips ever after new ROM

Hi,
Any thoughts, ideas comments greatly appreciated.
Since purchasing my Desire S I have never been able to play BBC iPlayer or the embedded clips in the BBC website (specificaly those showing highlights of Scottish Football - yes, that's probably a good thing!).
One of the reasons for experimenting with Rooting and flashing a new ROM was the hope that this would provide the solution I needed as no amount of updating and reinstalling Adobe Flash, using different versions of this or using different browsers seemed to make any difference. Changing news.bbc.co.uk/... to cdnedge.bbc.co.uk/... doesn't work either and doesn't actually address the iplayer issue either.
Now, running a rooted Desire S with a Custom ROM, I thought that this would resolve whatever hidden issue was causing the problem.
All other video types play fine in the stock video player, so I don't think its a hardware issue.
Meant to add. I can hear sound fine, and can see the scroll bar marking progress of the iplayer episode/eweb clip as well. It's just simply that the video is missing.
Could there be an issue with the phone itself?
Mod Version: CyanogenMod 7 10082011 NIGHTLY
Device: HTC Desire S
Radio : 20.281.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M
Kernel : [email protected]#1

Now this may be entirely unrelated and possible a shade off-topic, but if I use my DS internet browser to check my flash version using URL:
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
It tells me that I have version 10.1 installed (note: take care not to confuse this with the boxes which say what versions are available)
Even after installing Flash version 11 from Android Market, the web page above still tells me that I have version 10.1 on my DS.
Other people claim that their DS responds with version 11 on this page, so I'm puzzled. But even after installing Flash 11 right from factory-reset settings it still reads wrong for me. Perhaps it's related to phone ROM version.
Flash 11 never seems to use any of it's cache on my DS - I do wonder if it's actually "connected" to my web browser at all!

Exact same problem with me. Iplayer just shows a black screen.

[Q] Browser crashes on youtube videos. What should I do?

The xoom browser has started crashing on youtube videos lately. At first it won't display the video at all and all it shows is a grey screen. When I put the video in fullscreen mode, it starts for a moment but shortly after that the browser crashes. At the same time the youtube application displays all videos and flash content properly. I tried to reinstall the flash player but it didn't solve the problem. What else can I do to fix the issue?

Id try clearing your browser cache. (not the history, but the cache in the manage applications in settings. the stock browser has its hiccups, but is pretty stable for me. it my main browser i use.

Didn't work, any other suggestions? Actually the issue occurs on YouTube only, when I open another flash video website the videos run normally.

your running youtube thru the browser? why?

That ain't the question. I just want to view YouTube normally in the browser.

ICS or HC?
what browser you on?
using latest version of flash?
is your flash hulu-optimized?
are you using a adblocker?
Are you on youtube full site or mobile?
what kernel are you using?
possible resolutions:
uninstall flashplayer
clear data/cache of browser
reboot
install flash player
try browser again
or
set your plugin settings in browser to 'on demand' and see if that works
or
use browser+ if on ICS
use another browser if on HC
if none of this works do a nandroid backup/wipe and start over and see if the problem subsides.
if its resolved start re installing other apps.
if not, you've got a rom/kernel problem, nandroid restore back to where you were and begin more troubleshooting. or find another rom/kernel to try.
i'm on stock ICS and i don't have this issue. my browser sometimes disappears off the screen, but remains in my current apps menu and when reopened it restores where i was and all the tabs, so its no big deal.

ICS or HC? - HC
what browser you on? - Stock
using latest version of flash? - Yes, updated it yesterday.
is your flash hulu-optimized? - No idea what this means.
are you using a adblocker? - No.
Are you on youtube full site or mobile? - Mobile
what kernel are you using? - No idea, everything is pure stock.
uninstall flashplayer
clear data/cache of browser -
reboot
install flash player
try browser again
- Already did, didn't work.
set your plugin settings in browser to 'on demand' and see if that works - Didn't work.
use browser+ if on ICS - I'm still on HC.
use another browser if on HC - Don't want, the stock browsers is the best for my needs.
if none of this works do a nandroid backup/wipe and start over and see if the problem subsides. I'm too unexperienced to do that.
-------
I also noticed something else. If the browser doesn't crash, when I press the Play button several times the videos plays normally, but in the beggining there is always that grey screen with the "play" icon inside it.

well first of all you need to upgrade to ICS, just sayin.
ive never ran HC cuz i got my xoom after the ICS update dropped. So im not sure if its a HC issue or a flash issue. but try these:
the grey screen insinuates the plugin isn't loading properly.
try obtaining a older flash version. try the hulu optimized one in the hulu xoom thread on here. or just google a older flash apk
try loading the desktop version of the site.
does flash plugin app have a cache you can clear?
load another browser just for the hell of it to see if its persistent no matter the browser. least we can narrow down where the issue is. flash or the browser.
i love the stock browser too, but u may need another to access certain sites.
or dare i say it....the use actual APP...
any other apps you may have installed that affect the browser? you should look into rooting and backing up your apps w/ titanium backup to your sd card and wiping your system and starting fresh. small issues like this are hard to fix.

Thanks for your efforts and help but now it seems the problem has disappeared from itself somehow. Everything is running fine now.

[Q] known flash issues or support? (Ics)

Just upgraded to ics last night from stock rooted gb though kies. Have not rerooted yet.
The first thing i noticed was i lost flash player support on a streaming page i go to a lot. So i updated the Adobe flash and it loaded up in the webpage but after a few seconds of skipping sound and video it freezes.
I've tried another browser chrome which didn't load. Made sure it wasn't internet connection speed by using both wifi and LTE.
Anyone know if there's anything to try or a fix? I know adobe stopped supporting it or something so maybe it's not compatible with newer android firmware?

I know that adobe support for flash on chrome will no longer work at all and android support in general is over. but i've heard that guys are still able to load their tibu backups of flash and get them to work in dolphin, so maybe try that. i don't have any flash problems yet, but im running skyics by seanz

Wow i just tried dolphin and it worked smooth as butter! Thanks! Guess the browser just sux lol.
Side question though, I've never flashed roms, only rooted phones and i read about people flashing so often. Do your apps or settings etc. Transfer over or do you start fresh every time and have to set it all up?
I am thinking one day i might try that but if i don't like it i don't wanna go back and have to have a complete do over.

Usually you have to do a full wipe, which means losing all your apps. But, it shouldn't matter if you have Titanium back up. And most launchers have back up settings, so there wouldn't be too many things you would have to re-setup. Just remember your Gmail pw( which none of my friends do when I help them flash a rom >.<)

[Q] Web browser.

Hi all folks.
I am wondering which web browser you are on.
And the point if you have adobe flash fully supported.

Running stock (which comes with cm10.1) and boat browser. Both are great, I just like to have a backup if some pages won't work properly. Everything flash related works just fine on both, boat maybe a tad better - I installed the latest ICS flash player *.apk, it's somewhere here on XDA - I could upload mine if you don't find it.

Thanks for pointing me in right direction.
Just have flash apk and found it somewhere on xda.
Now i am using stock rom on T-mobile software, which I am very happy.
Sometimes testing Opera 15 beta, but since doesnt support flash sites, wondering if to remove it.
Before I tried chrome (after using a while it was over 90 MB!!!) but was not fast enough.
So any other web browsers you have?
