Couple of negatives - Galaxy S 4 General

I noticed the stock browser which I preferred to use on the S3 doesn't have an option for text reflow (auto-fit page option), and more surprisingly the phone gets quite warm around the camera, anyone else noticed.

Try Mozilla Firefox or Dolphin or Chrome, they should all have text reflow, waiting to get my s4 so I can't help with the heat issue you asked about.

Slow keyboardq

ok.I know this has been posted up and asked 100 times before, I have done tons of google searches, and what I came up with is NOTHING! no solutions, no help, and people saying use the taptalk app and other apps, but this does no good if you are doing other things other then forums.
I have tried dolphin, Firefox, Opera etc.. Its always slow to type! Laggy, hard to copy and paste etc.
I got a kindle fire for my Gf and sideloaded dolphin and no lag at all. It never lags on my galaxy a 1 And 2 also!
it seems a tad faster if I use swift key but not enough to make me happy. I use Facebook and it is horrific!
Help!!!!!!!

[Q] Unfocused Web browsing

Hello,
Im a user of a nexus s running cynmod 9
I've come across an issue with my web browsing. When i load a page it takes a while for the font and page to focus. Is this because of the mod?
There are many factors that produce that, ranging from data speed to processor load. Basically, as you're loading a page, the phone downloads the information from the server and then has to process it. In order to say conclusively, I'd need more information. What programs are running in the background? Are you on Wifi or 3G? What's your Signal strength, and Mobile network type?
For what it's worth, I am on CM9 and I rarely see this. When I do, it is always that the page is still loading.
Yeah. Sorry for the late response. I'm not really having this issue anymore. I gave the nexus s to my wife and a lot of issues went away on reset. It was happening on 3g and WiFi. Rogers . Mostly of Facebook. I think facebook updates helped too.

Anyone running Dolphin browser?

I installed dolphin about a week ago and it seemed OK a first, now it seems to not respond or go painfully slow when taping a link or going to a new tab. Progress bar starts to move then stops half way and pinwheel spins forever and nothing happens. Tried clearing cashe, no good. Double checked settings, all is well, original browser is disabled, dolphin is set as default browser.
Any input will be appreciated.

sounds like network related.
try reset to default and reboot twice and/or power device off fully for a few minutes.
My network is OK, I have two Epic's, sprint phones and they work great on same network. In fact I was trying to place an order with Amazon on tab and had to stop because of the way the browser was acting. Pick up phone and was able to finish order in less than a minute, same network same Wi-Fi.

I also have a problem with dolphin, my crashes when I click on the address bar. Nothing helps, does anyone have any solution?

I suppose I would uninstall the app, shutdown the tab, then start it back up and re-install the app and see if made a difference. If not, I'd head over to the Dolphin site and see what they have in regards to help, tech support and forums.

Will try that, its painful trying to use the browser the way its acting.

Problems that I have:
1. I get the crashing as well sometimes when clicking in the address bar.
2. It's one of the few apps on here that can manage to completely freeze the tablet.
3. Lots of completely random crashes resulting from loading pages.
4. Fails to download most of the various files that are on the free file hosting services available.
But all that said I've used it across so many devices and for so long that it's the only browser that I really feel comfortable using full time. If there was an easy way to migrate my bookmarks and saved form data it might be an option.
i'm using dolphin and im always getting FC radomnly in one session..
i keep it up to date but its still get errors with it..
I second the fact that it is the only app that has been able to completely freeze my tablet. Also the back of my tablet get really hot when using dolphin even though it does not seem to drain the battery any faster.
Using Opera Mobile as my default browser.
Dolphin will FC on the tab 7+ when the URL is too long. I believe this is a bug. Reported it last month but doesn't seem to have any patches released to solve the problem...
Which one are you guys using?? The HD one or the one for Pad?? The HD one works fine for me. No FC at all, go try it out.
Update.
Unistalled dolphin, EM developer about issue with browser but have not gotten responce back. Went back to stock browser and that's acting the same way, slow, won't load pages even after five or more minutes, pin wheel just keeps spinning in add. bar, and forget about Google images that's even worst.
Installed Opera, same crap as dolphin. They are so bad I can't even place an order on line, internet access is usless on this tablet. My Epic touchs browser is super fast, and can place orders no problem.

Not sure what the issue is with my browsers but still can't get browser satisfaction, is it possible that I need an external SD card in place in order for the browsers to work properly? I have no SD card in my tab, been waiting for a sale to pu a 32 MB card so I have been using tab without a card in place.
Can anyone give me some input on this.
Tried dolphin HD, opera Mobil and still same crappy results, slow loading pages, even with images turned off, slow as molasses, and forget about trying to purchase online, not happening.

For what it's worth, dolphin works fine in my LG optumus 2x. Only issue I have is that it crashes whenever I rotate the screen horizontally.
Good luck!!

No tethering, have broadband at home, dlink router with great speeds and very little or no traffic on router. Same network I use with my SGSII Epic Touch and laptop.
I'm starting to think it's a bug, because I search in all kinds of forums, blogs, you named it and I don't see any complaints about this issue that I have. Three browsers and they all like crap. Have not D/L much stuff on Tab because i get past this browser crap. This is the wifey's tab and i never hear the end of it, wah wah wah, she needs it for work, graphic artist w/childrens ware company. Including shot of speedtest on my home net. this is avg.

If my other Internet devices download fine on the WiFi and I have done a Factory Reset, plus uninstalling and reinstalling Dolphin as well as the stock browser not working, it's time to get a replacement under warranty or talk to Samsung. What's the point in having a tab if can't surf the internet?

Going to contact Samsung, maybe they'll have a fix for me.
Thanks for the input.

Blank tab appears if i open more than 2 in Google Chrome, very very annoying

Hello Everybody
I am unable to use Google Chrome browser in my mobile phone.
I heard that the blank page issue in Google Chrome only dogged the nVidia Tegra based devices.
But even i am facing the very same issue and the work around mentioned where not useful.
I had to kill the application and re-open it to use it.
I can't use more than one tab in Google Chrome.
I have upgraded my mobile phone to a powerful HTC One X from Google Nexus S to use Google Chrome too.
As Google Chrome functioned very slowly in Google Nexus S.
But now Google Chrome in my HTC One X is unusable.
Can anybody suggestion solutions ?
I will explain my problem in depth now.
1 --> Open Google Chrome
2 --> Visit www.slashdot.org or any website
3 --> Open new tab and visit altavista.com or any website
4 --> Click the tab number button and switch to first tab.
Expected behavior
First tab should be loaded now.
But instead of that, first tab would reload into a blank tab.
Then i can switch to second tab either.
Even if i close all the tab, i won't be able to visit any sites in new tab there after.
So, i have quit Google Chrome by pressing the running application button.
Running 2.20 version of stock software.
This issue has been reported to Google and is known, star these issues so Google will work on them.
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=130607
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=113204
Also, if you look at the reviews of the Google Chrome reviews on the Play store written by HTC One X users you will see many people are having the issue.
I'm having the issue on a stock One XL 2.20, I've simply gone back to using the stock HTC browser for now.
As above, I have noticed this behavior as well with Evita on stock ROM.
Here are some more details :
The blank tab appears to indicate a crash in Chrome. Once the blank tab appears, you cannot close tabs or close Chrome without the application manager.
How I avoid the issue:
Always close all tabs before leaving Chrome to use other apps.
Use ES Task manager to clear all cache before starting new Chrome session. I do not suggest using task manager for any other purpose.
The issue appears to be a memory issue. If I forget to clear cache and Chrome crashes, the only way to get Chrome operational again is to restart my Evita.
Hope this helps.

Same problem here, just popped up today for the first time though.
I've had this issue with Google Chrome on my stock AT&T One XL for at least 2 or 3 months. I got sick of it very quickly and switched back to the HTC browser. I still use Chrome at least once a day or so but it crashes too often to be my main browser now.
you would think chrome browser would be the BEST for our Google phone by now, like it but thats the reason why i stack on stock browser too
I experienced the Chrome issue on my AT&T HTC One X with the 2.20 ROM since day 1. I rooted the phone and unlocked it, then installed CyanogenMod 10, and the problem seems to be fixed.

WAs the issue fixed on cleanROM? i recently rooted and went to cleanROM and the chrome issues have been bothering me from day one but havent' tried it yet since I rooted.
Hello Everybody
Thanks to everybody for sharing their thoughts.
I am not interested in rooting / modding my mobile phone as of now.
Even though i am not new to this, i just find it too cumbersome and provides less incentive.
I thought the issue in question happens only because of nVidia Tegra Drivers.
Experiencing the same issue even in Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 based mobile phone, frustrates me.
I am not sure whom to blame for this.
It would have been great if HTC put a work around for the Google Chrome's incompatibility issue in it's flagship mobile phone.
I hope Samsung Galaxy S3 users would happily be using Google Chrome in their large screen mobile phone.
The issue is still piggy back in elavate Jelly bean build is unacceptable.

I have only been running CR 4.5 for about 36 hours, but it looks good so far. I had five tabs open last night, left browsing for a while and all tabs refreshed properly. I'll check in again in a few days.

The browser works great on cleanROM EXCEPT for chrome has horrible horrible battery drain. Even with "scroll tilting" off, it still uses 10+%. I suspect because its constantly refreshing and syncing with the desktop..which is a shame because its what I WANT it to do.
Also, makes my HTC one x very warm, i haven't had that issue since I first got it, and disabled GPS

If this bug is caused because of Tegra driver issue, then why this issue occurs in our Snapdragon based HTC One X?

Reflow text

I can't get anything to reflow the text like my Inspire does. My Inspire always fits the text to the screen no matter how much I zoom in, I can't get that with the tf700. I think i've tried reflow options (opera) but I don't see anything happening. Anyway to get this on both opera and the original browser?
In the stock browser, it seems like it works most of the time if you zoom in to your desired level, then double-tap the text to reflow. Worth a shot...

in general its an HTC thing. All android used to do it till apple took out lawsuit . HTC held on to it with sense, but outside of that it's hard to find. I think the double tap works on some pages but nothing like an HTC device will. I learned the hard way when I ditched my thunderbolt...
