Hi,
Forgive me if there was a thread about this already, but I looked as far as i can. This has been happening for a while and I about had it with this. To start of obviously I have an Asus Tf700. Its rooted and I have the Browser2Ram equivalent fix also in this forum [Q] Browser2Ram with JB 4.2.1 not working. I'm also using the stock browser.
Now to the problem. Around 80% of the time I open a webpage that has an image only it in, like imgur, it only loads as far as the screen can see. I would be content with hitting Ctrl+R but the damn thing will also only load what the screen can show leaving the rest blank when I scroll (see attached image). I have to go to the address bar and hit enter to have the page reload and that fixes it. I have to do it a lot and its driving me crazy. Also like 5% of webpages will sometimes load with all the text in one row with usually a black background (What I usually get on my PC when I'm fully utilizing the bandwidth with downloading) without any cause.
Is there any fix to this? I'd rather stay with the stock browser as it is almost perfect except for this.
Thanks.

It does this to me as well sometimes and as you said the only way to get it to show up it refreshing by entering the url again. I to have seen no fix to this but haven't attempted to really fix it.

I have the same issue. Has anyone else noticed that the back button doesn't really work in the stock browser either? Sometimes when you hit back it just reloads the page.

Actually, that is due to Adblock. You using Cromi/x? If so disable adblock, and the back button will work correctly.

go into settings --> apps.-->browser--> clear cache and reset data, reboot your device then try again without touching anything, see if the issue still there or not?

It's not much you can do with stock rom (still locked), many complained that it laggy and slow. I have tried stock rom before and it was running great for a about a week or so then it became laggy and stuttering. The only thing that you can do is do a clean install (reflash the rom). If that doesn't help then you need to think about unlock your device for custom rom/kernel.

Reflashing the ROM replaces the contents of the /system partition with exactly the same file that were already there. Since the /system partition is read-only, reflashing the ROM is only useful for repairing 'accidents' with rooted programs, but not for fixing browser issues in a stock ROM. For that, you can only play with deleting things on /data.

Yes, I did. I also had some trouble at first but what I did was upload the image to www.imgur.com and then click on the image so that the url at the top ends with a .jpg (can also be done with the TF00). Then when you want to attach it to a post click on the paperclip icon and upload the image as a url (again make sure you enter the url that ends with the .jpg). I hope that helps.

Thanks i was hoping I could upload an image from my gallery, that would be so much better.
I was about to ask this question too. I am on stock jelly bean, unrooted.. But I have tried so many browsers (dolphin, boat, Firefox, stock, etc) and they all have this problem. Chrome and opera does not seem to have this problem. Does anyone seem to have an idea of what the problem is?
Possible Solution
Hi,
I was thinking of a possible solution this afternoon but unfortunately I don't know how to implement it. Clearing the cache of the broswer app seemed to help mitigate the problem but not eliminate it completely. Would it be possible to write something to increase the capacity of the broswer's cache, or have it clear on its own everytime it's run?
Thanks again!

Shouldn't be any reason you couldn't use TWRP. I'm pretty sure nard himself uses it. The CWM was a CM project for a long time, and still the recovery built within it. Everyone pushes their stuff.
been running M7 for about a day now. had one fc with touchdown, my work email client, but otherwise looks good. surprised i had to manually change build.prop to set the dpi. i'm not blind, so i hate the trend towards gigantic fonts even on smallish screens like this one.
i also wasn't able to use tibu to restore securid from my old phone (vzw droid4) but i suspect that app uses some system properties like imei to create its security, so it can't be moved... not a problem. just have to do clean in stall and reimport the token.
one thing i noticed even in cm11m2 on my d4 as well as on this phone in cm11m7 is that the included sms app doesn't actually have a dark theme, and that sticks out like a sore thumb. even when you check the box for dark theme in the sms app itself, it's still white. not a huge deal obviously but doesn't match the rest of cm's normal polish.

The "use dark theme" option only applies to the quick reply pop up windows. The option is conveniently listed in the "quick reply" section.

doh, you're right. my point still stands about messaging not matching the rest of cm's theming. i guess they expect people to just use chomp, go, handcent or whatever other app... i like the standard one in cm tho. except for how light it is.
What did change from the blobs for the builds after 14 /06 ?
Running 14/06 now, really good, battery charging issues are gone (i think), because a new kernel/other blobs.
Where can you find more info about blobs changes (propetary) ?

which build are you on? i'm running cm11-20140608-Snapshot-M7 (which is 4.4.2, not 4.3.3) and have no issues to report so far. i haven't given it a full shakedown yet - still haven't tried BT or GPS but so far so good. watched netflix on the bus this morning and never had an issue. my wife and i text a lot and haven't had issues w/ that either. this evening i'm going to try out BT with my elm327 obd-ii adapter and if i have time, test audio over an avantree cara adapter. i started google maps a couple times and it found me quickly and accurately but i haven't run gps for more than a minute or so at a time so i don't know how it'll do. maybe i'll turn it on while on the bus this afternoon and see if it works well for the whole ride home.

After a few minutes of playing with the CM M5 smartphone burned and became slow. Now the smartphone with the stock firmware does not burn more but it is slow. It works well this M7? You recommended me?
For a few months I used CM kitkat but I had to do a wipe. Now I do not know how to install the CM. I'm using the stock firmware.
To install:
1 rooted smartphone.
2 I copy "cm-11-20140608-SNAPSHOT-M7-apexqtmo.zip" in memory of the smartphone.
3 CWM 6.0.1.2 "install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard" I select "cm-11-20140608-SNAPSHOT-M7-apexqtmo.zip"

First, use the most up-to-date recovery; I'm pretty sure that cwm 6.0.1.2 isn't it if I see 6.0.4.7 on other devices. I like using TWRP personally, and there's a thread in this forum for that. The outdated recovery is probably the main problem right there for the failed flash.
Second, it doesn't look like you wiped anything in your steps. No factory reset, not even wiping cache and dalvik. Most people do a clean flash (that's a factory reset in recovery) when troubleshooting a failure to install a custom ROM.
Try using the latest recovery, wiping at least cache and dalvik, and see if it helps.
Good luck

i second this. my steps were:
1- boot to download mode, install twrp
2- boot to recovery, flash CM
3- while still in recovery, flash gapps if you want them (make sure you have the correct version of gapps from the CM site)
4- still in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik
5- still in recovery, do factory reset
6- reboot normally (it's called 'system' in twrp) and start using phone
note that there is no need to copy/flash SU at any time because CM is already rooted.
using nightly 22/06 my phone slowed down to unusable slow, flashed 24/06 yesterday.
Never had this before on cm nightly's for the relay.
And the charging (usb) problems aren't over yet (sometimes it works fine for a few hours, sometimes a few minutes).
Did a clean install a week ago (didn't solve anything).

Ok. Now, find out what version of cpu you have and get some logs to help them track down your problems.
There's a search box in the corner.
I don't have any of the problems you are describing and I am betting the developers do not, either.

I am on T-Mo, I get this via the default android messaging app as well as hangouts, but I also have times where mobile data refuses to work as well.
Right now, I'm having this issue on 11-20140608-Snapshot-M7-apexqtmo. I did wipe data and cache before I flashed. I'm not sure what is causing my issue.
I am tempted to reflash it back to factory, and take it back under my total care and get it replaced for a S5, but I really like my keyboard. :crying:
did you wipe cache and dalvik after flashing the rom? the only quirk i've noticed on m7 is that if i don't reboot every couple of days, my work email program (touchdown) likes to get slow and crashy while composing emails. going to the recent apps drawer and closing everything there usually fixes that. gps and bluetooth work fine even at the same time and battery life is great. after having tried multiple roms on my droid4 and having gps and camera issues, i am pleasently susprised how stable cm is on this relay (which i've only had a couple weeks now).

I even tried that too. My phone's about a year and a half old now. I've noticed recently if the keyboard is out, or i'm holding the phone sideways, and I get a call, the phone app crashes over and over till i rotate it upward so the display is vertical, then it stops crashing(all while the phone is still ringing so I can still answer it.)
Hi there.
I have had Lollipop on my Nvidia Tablet for a few days now and had nothing but problems.
The internet is now a cluster**** of adverts as adblocker plus does not work correctly, and programs I used every day are now useless (sixaxis controller etc). I also miss the power control options and the chew on you have adjusting volume in apps and etc (priority bull crap pops up). I also have a 50% compatibility compared to Kit Kat. Is they a way to revert back to last os as I feel I have ruined my device.
I have my device bootloader unlocked, rooted and running CWM.
Kind regards
Alex
Adaway works fine for me. Most power options are still there, just in a different spot. And i don't chew on my tablet, so not sure what you are talking about there. It runs much better on 5.0 for me. Less RAM being utilized. Chrome is MUCH smoother than before. I felt like i was using my old touchpad til i got the upgrade.

I can only say that when I upgraded to Lollipop things were sluggish until I Factory reset and installed everyting from scratch. Now, I cant find one reason to go back... AdAway works great!
Best regards,

My tablet still tastes like plastic, glass, and other materials. Did they promise chewing on it would get a new flavor?
Also not sure what you're talking about as far as app compatibility goes. Have only hit a couple very niche apps that don't port over. The advanced power options are hidden either in a power setting or battery setting widget, though.
You both just solved half my problems with adaway. Is they a way i can get the sixaxis app working again?

What i don't want to do is unlock the bootloader, thought you were on locked bootloader and rooted before the perform the factory reset.
I was having serious lag issues. I successfully restored to the official nvidia 1.2.1 update (last KitKat build) then relocked my boot loader, factory reset. Booted and back to kit kat, perfect, then downloaded the update fresh without my extra apps, applied, factory reset then booted. So far a hell of a lot better, not perfect but much more bare able. Kit kat shouldn't be faster, should it? Lol. Need custom ROMs with nvidia apps and a cool custom kernal.
Go to shield.nvidia.com sign up to developer. Then download the 1.2.1 KitKat image, unzip and place in a folder with adb and fastboot files, make sure your boot loader is unlocked. Put your device in boot loader then use the official flash all batch file. Then relock boot loader and factory reset through recovery. And you'll be downgraded. If you need help let me know. Just in case my model is the 16gb WiFi only model.
Just for the record the cause of all my lags were due to Facebook. Must have a memory leak. Installed it and performance and lag became terrible like before. I uninstalled it, left the beta programming and rebooted and all is good. Now to use a Facebook alternative. Lol.

Its a weird one. I can use Facebook on my oneplus one on an unofficial lollipop ROM perfect but not my shield tablet. Couldn't believe that was the culprit of all the serious lag! It was really unusable to the point i was going to downgrade to KitKat again and sell it and just use my shield portable. Or I had a bad device. Turns out it was just a Facebook issue. So I apologise nvidia! Lol. Just goes to show smaller companies and even individuals can put out better optimized applications. They should do a talon plus inspired version.

While on KitKat I was rooted and had Philz recovery. I installed the Lollipop update and lost root but fortunately I still had my recovery.
I did the following to get root on lollipop with writable sdcard and managed to make my device extremely fast/snappy (better than ever)...
0. Download SuperSU v.2.27 zip and copy to sdcard -link- http://download.chainfire.eu/630/Sup...erSU-v2.27.zip
1. Reboot to recovery (No need for unlocking bootloader or changing kernel)
2. Do a factory reset and wipe cache and dalvic/art cache
3. In advanced menu select re-root
4. Now install superSU v.2.27 zip
5. Reboot system and let lollipop boot up
6. Goto settings > Battery > from menu SHIELD Power Control > Change Processor Mode from Optimized to Max Performance
7. Goto settings > Security > Check Unknown sources
8. Download and Install Seeder by LCIS from Play Store, check all options and run on moderate -link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...s.seeder&hl=en
9. from Play Store download Remount by Stephen and remount sdcard1 as rw -link- https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....remount&hl=en

You can get the recovery images from nVidia here: https://developer.nvidia.com/develop4shield Make sure you get the tablet rom, I almost flashed the portable one lol. Only thing that sucks is you have to register as a developer and it took about 2 days until I was "approved".
Here's a step by step guide if you get hung up.. http://youtu.be/GsMo1tPlIFU?list=LL2pdV4KBs4sNR6r1zpwr-cQ but really just have adb installed and run the batch file that comes with it.
After spending maybe a week on Lollipop tho, I seriously couldn't be happier on Kitkat. Xposed for the win! Lollipops biggest qwirk has to be the pull down, no idea why it's not split like Kitkat. That and weird slow downs.

After a lot of research i downloaded the OTA 1.2.1 update from here, and i used the batch file too and then i realized i could just restore my backup file without any problem hehe, so i have a backup from lollipop and one of kitkat.
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/Tablets/NVIDIA/NVIDIA-SHIELD-Tablet-LTE-US-Firmware-121.shtml
Lollipop is all the oppose to what android means to us, has a fresh look but doesnt worth it, i updated just because of the battery issues in kitkat, i guess lollipop is getting very qwirk because the devices are getting more powerful in gaming and multitasking so they are a more relevant market so cant have all freedom to modify and change the firmware..
Should I bother updating?
Does Chrome finally work as it should?
Yes after one day testing ...

There has been a marked increase in stability and responsiveness for me.
And battery life in standby seems better as well (so far)!

allright. So I'll pull the plunge on this one.
TWRP and the regular update process don't seem to work. So square one from what it seems

I updated with theOTA from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/general/android-5-1-t3115536 just download the ota and supersu from that link and flash the OTA first then supersu and your done. I didnt even lose recovery after i flashed these!
Oh yeah and I used google sheets and docs for 4 hours this morning without a single freeze or crash normally i would've had at least 10 during that time. So yes its def. worth it.
So far.... I installed about 3 hours after release, it's much much smoother. Only once have I gotten the "what the frig is this thing doing" hang and sputter, while installing busy box. Colors are great. It's like flashing a new screen. Xposed super alpha for 5.1 working. Gravity box works, flat style colored bars works.
Now just waiting for custom kernels....
Depends. Update 3.0 has these issues:
1- Apps optimization on every reboot. (rebooting takes 5 or more minutes)
2- USB OTG not working (tried usb flash drives and nothing)
3- Controller not turning off when button pressed (by design)
I was on 5.0.1 rooted, I wiped everything, flashed 5.1 and rooted again, if you are wondering.

Something may have gone wrong. I've only had the optimization come up if I clear cache or install apps via recovery so far... And I've been trying to get it to crash at reboot....
Judging from the responses in this thread, it looks like it's finally time for me to unlock my bootloader and update from 4.4. Wish me luck, guys!

I've had it come up on several reboots. Many people report it too on the official Nvidia forums.
But the USB OTG thing did it, Im staying on 2.2.1 until a hotfix is released.
I stand corrected, =x I have 2 apps optimizing at boot.
No problems here
I installed ota 3.0 from twrp after wiping everything including internal memory and I have no problems....
No app optimizations after every reboot or havent encountered any lags or sound glitches + wifi performance is much better and no issues with hdmi or usb otg either, played half life 2 for like 2.5 hours straight and had no issues even for a second...
Don't now what happened with the people who are having problems with this update. I have 32gb lte version and the tab performance is perfect now, for me atleast.
So i would suggest wiping everything except external sdcard and flashing full rom + latest supersu
USB OTG is working for me. I can use my 8GB drive.
I also have the Apps optimizing at every boot bug. 189 of them nonetheless... So the wait is huge.
Full OTA dirty flash over previous 2.2.1, dalvik/cache wipe. I hope for a fix soon.
Wipe everything then install full rom, i am pretty sure u wont get apps optimizing every boot. For me after the update the boot cycles are the fastest yet and I also do have around 180 apps...

I wiped everything except internal and external storage, I rooted and I still had the optimizing apps every reboot. And not just 2 or 3 apps, all of them.

Well the only difference now is i wiped internal storage too and i have no idea if this helps but i have selinux mode set to permissive, if this doesnt work then i guess i am one of the lucky ones...
I also found that the speakers has a screeching irritating sounds when playing media on my wifi version.
Anybody else having the same problem?
Can anyone verify that the method posted by Unjustified Dev in this thread will work the the indicated phone model?

Well i managed to root it today with a certain methid...will post up a guide later after ive written it out...may see if i can further the progress now that ive rooted it.

I have the newer Model LGL16C/4.4.2/Baseband version M8610B-AAAANAZM-1.0.6060/Kernel version 3.4.0+/Build KOT49I.L16CV11a/Software version L16CV11a/"Lucky". Service provider is Tracfone, aka Crapfone. Attempts to root with Kingroot as well as Kingoroot failed, including several apps which claim to root your phone. I paid less than $10 US dollars for this phone and rooting it isn't high on my priority list, however rooting the damn thing has presented a bit of a challenge.
A working guide to rooting this phone would be great.

Hey mate,
I hate to be like a noodge, but would you be able to explain how you rooted? Would be so much appreciated.

Hey so i spent forever trying ro find a root that would work on this. Or a custom ROM anything really. Try going into McAfee Security, setting up an account, go to settings and disable the lock down device option. That was the problem for me at least McAfee was blocking any root from installing. From there i rooted my lucky with kingroot one click root. Hope this helps!
The Easiest Way To Root Your LG Lucky Without a PC
Easy way to install SuperSU on your LG Lucky
Just follow directions
Use KingRoot 4.5.0 app - google KingRoot apk all versions. Download and install apk.
Google replace kingroot with supersu. There will be a few sites popup, Mediafire is where the original .zip file is hosted. You can even search "how to replace/remove kingroot with supersu" here on XDA for more info.
Once you have downloaded the .zip file be sure to extract it to your INTERNAL sd, the script in the zip will not work from your external sd.
Open the extracted file and copy the mrw file to the internal storage, the path should look like /storage/emulated/0/mrw.
Now go to the play store, download and install Terminal Emulator. I use the one by Jack Palevich as it is only 551kb and easy to use.
Open the terminal emulator and type "su" in order to grant super user permission to the emulator,
On the next line type "/system/bin/sh - /storage/emulated/0/mrw/root.sh" and press enter.
Now the script will run and open up SuperSU automatically. Install binary when prompted with the "normal" option. Choose yes when it asks if you want to delete other superuser apps. (this removes kingroot).
Before rebooting phone, go into the settings of SuperSU and enable pro mode, change icon if you wish, enable survival mode, enable su during boot. I think you have to restart app at this point, can't remember as I did this months ago. Then restart the SuperSU app, go back into settings to Install SuperSU into system. Reboot phone,
When phone reboots, this is when Kingroot is finally uninstalled. Your phone will still be rooted with SuperSU. At this point you may wish to update SuperSU as this is version 2.46 and the newest version is 2.71 Beta. You can get the newest version of SuperSU from the thread here on XDA.
(thanks MrWolf for the script to make the change and thank you Chainfire for SuperSU, FlashFire, CF.lumen, etc...)
LGL-16C successfully (so far) rooted using Kingoroot.exe (latest version). Had to change from mtp to camera on USB then was recognized. Have SuperSU 2.72, SuperSU Pro, BusyBox Pro, and Xposed installed with Xblast and Lucky Patcher running. No custom recovery or roms available and I have searched hi and lo. Was a Net10 $15 phone with nothing to lose, so...will try more stuff out another day and post again.

Until any source is made there will be no recovery or ROM and tbh I don't have the time to dig into it currently.. The positive with rooting though is removing the bloat

Hi. Could you tell me how you installed supersu after rooting with kingroot? Thanks
Well I have root and supersu installed but it won't update binary. Any help out there? Thanks
Hey everybody. I did it!! Just root with kingroot 4.5 and replace kinguser with super sume. Worked great. All kingroot stuff is gone!! Ive rebooted 3 times to make sure and all is good.
Well if anyone is interested in looking at the source code, lg support has downloads available for nearly every phone they've ever made.
http://opensource.lge.com/osList/list?m=Mc001&s=Sc002
The file for the LGL16C is on page 2. Every thing seems to be listed alphabetically so it's easy to locate.
I still have my lucky and actually use it often although I no longer have it activated.
@ cecnwv,
Thanks for the link. Using Ares 11 and got "IP banned for 6 hours,try again later" after dbl tppng yellow icon. I did something wrong. Not at my PC. (unfortunately)
Thanks for any enlightenment,
michaeltheclyde
Two 10a LGL16C Tracfones, one free (recon from Tf) and one new $14.95 @ eBay from Best Buy, rooted with everything that has Google in the name frozen (TB) but no image to restore. (twrp)
Has anyone made a complete backup of their system apps using Titanium Backup? Being that one can't use fastboot/download mode (this phone has it locked out and a special USB cable is required) so my backup options were limited. I thought I did a full backup with Titanium Backup, but apparently lost it as I only found a small partial one on my PC.
Issue is I had uninstalled some bloatware and integrated updates for a few apps. But after factory resetting the phone it is behaving a bit odd. The notification bar doesn't really work anymore (apps still able to use sound/vibration to make a notification, but nothing appears in the notification bar) and I am unable to call the phone because it never rings and it immediately goes to voice mail. So the phone app is borked too.
Plus soft button to the right of the home button (I forget what it's called) doesn't bring up the app history anymore so I can't close background apps. (the volume buttons also don't really do anything anymore. Normally using them causes the volume bar for ringtone to appear and if using a media app, the volume bar for media audio comes up instead. But now nothing happens).
The phone is in a pretty broken state and even doing app updates from Play Store doesn't work anymore. Was gonna try and look around if someone has some app/data backup of the system apps installed. This is a TracFone branded phone and is currently running Android 4.4.2 (Kernel version 3.4.0+). Which is the last Android update they made for this phone.
Perhaps there's a single service/app that is responsible for notifications/volume bar that is borked. But I have no idea which system app is broken so a full app restore is my next best option.
The first thing wrong I noticed after resetting it was that the intial setup screen would return everytime I rebooted the phone. (only way i could get that to stop was freezing it in Titanium Backup). So maybe related to that app somehow. I don't recall ever uninstalling/merging update data for that perticular app though so it's probably a side effect of a different app going haywire.
EDIT:
Ok looks like I resolved the issue. I just removed the LGStartupWizard.apk then did a factory reset via Volume Down+Power button combo. It boots straight to home menu now and everything works. I guess the LG setup wizard thing got borked somehow. No more setup wizard but verious things like google account and whatnot can be configured manually via settings so no real loss.
All the missing things like the app history button, lock screen, notification bar, etc are now working as a result of resetting after removing LGSetupWizard.apk.

Awesome, this worked for me too, though the issue wasn't exactly the same. When I got the phone it had already been rooted with Kingo at some point and I noticed after resetting it that I had similar problems (it may have had the issues before the factory reset too, I just didn't notice one way or the other). Anyway, I was getting slightly different misbehavior. No recents key, yes, but also no response from the Home key. Pull-down notifications bar was mostly working, but with no visible notifications and I couldn't press the Setup "gear" in top right. My volume buttons and Play Store were fine, though, but I'd noticed that when I tried further factory resets (from the menu, not via hard reset) that it wasn't "really" resetting, as any downloaded files/etc. remained on the phone. I'd tried freezing LGSetupWizard already, but as you noted, that doesn't fix it for whatever reason. Deleting altogether does. Yay. I do wonder what the hell is happening during the root or reset that triggers this problem, though. It behaves as if Setup Wizard was just never completed, so you remain "locked out" of most of the same functions that are unavailable during setup normally. Oh well.
Anyway, as old ten-dollars-or-less type phones go, this isn't the worst I've ever used by a long shot. Heck, it's arguably better than a few other slightly bigger/newer/pricier crap-phones out there! (Looking at you, ZTE Legacy/Quest...) FWIW, I had "ripped" all of the APKs from /system/app and /priv-app for some reason back when I first got this thing, so if they'd be of use to anyone I'll be happy to upload all or individual files. Hell, if anyone can tell me how to do a full ROM dump I'd be happy to do that too, because there's definitely still no official stock image available online that I could find a trace of. (Granted, I don't know if there'd be any way to utilize a non-official backup image anyway or turn it into a flashable KDZ, but that's not my point...)
Thank you, I got my lucky rooted! I'm wondering if anyone ever found any custom ROMs or recoveries for this device. It seems like this was never popular for any of that, but thought I'd ask. Thanks.
