The browser was always a litlle laggy, but after the 2.0.1 update it seems very very choppy and laggy when scrolling. Anyone else notice this?

Golden Falcon

I'm not sure about the stock web browser, but nothing compares to Dophin:

Dolphin Browser v1.2.9.1 Application for Android | Communication

No lag from that.

Wakey

A reboot helped someone else with the same issue.

dmodert66

No issues for me. There is almost 0 lag (once the page is finished loading anyway)...

Redflea

I've rebooted since the update, so didn't try before that, but not seeing any new lag or issues w/the browser. Seems the same as before the update, except that pages seem to load faster than before (nice).

user53

Ive rebooted a couple of times, but thank you all for the fast responce.

ponchera

Dolphin is running like a champ now. So is GDE 2.0.1 rulez.

Dragoro

Dolphin is running way faster after update.

Legacystar

I'm getting choppy scrolling after update but swapping between windows is a lot faster and pages are loading faster especially on wifi.

gonzoguy24

Browser is choppy here too...feels like .148 on storm 1! Ah! I'm not really worried tho I'm sure this will get fixed in time

gonzoguy24

Also entering text is more laggy

mrthundercleese

This was one of the first things i noticed. Rebooted per the advise in this thread and the browser (both stock and dolphin) scroll noticably slower than before. Sigh and everything else had a speed increase .

alostpacket

Anyone who is getting this, have you tried clearing your cache?

gotwillk

cleared cache and rebooted. browser is still laggy.

Please gentlemen star up this issue to show Google that we're having problems here.

Issue 5286 - android - Browser lags when scrolling after 2.0.1 Update on Motorola DROID - Project Hosting on Google Code

iamloco724

Having lagging issues here as well on stock browser im sure it will be fixed

alostpacket

Seems to lag only on certain graphic heavy areas of a page, is this true for you guys as well?


Also certain screen elements such as form input fields (text areas) will cause it to "skid" when scrolling.



Might be more but those are two things I have found when testing.

Starred.

alostpacket

it's also really intermittent for me.

Dragoro

Starred.

Jesse

Noticing it here as well.

Starred.

Starred, although I don't have the update yet

I had a lot or problems with my droid, yesterday before the install i remove ATK and a battery monitoring app and my droid got significantly better, after that I installed 2.0.1 and it's flying. I'm wondering if this is issue is caused by some other APP bogging down all the phone in general and not 2.0.1 - browser..

Phone Guy

I was thinking it may be the apps having problems with the 2.01 update as well.

user53

It could be caused by another app, but it sounds like a lot of us seem to have that same app. Ive cleared cache and rebooted with no help. After work i might try restoring phone to factory to see if that helps. If someone is willing to do this before then we would be pretty thankful, if not i will post my results. Atleast the virtual keyboard no longer pops up the letter making you think it got it but doesnt actually insert the letter, that was my biggest complaint.

Mayze

I'm having lag issues also with both dolphin and stock browser after the update.

scutzi128

Also having some lag on certain pages here with the stock browser...nothing I can't deal with though.

blackbook88

I have done a hard reset and factory reset after the up date and I'm still suffering from noticable scrolling lag on certain websites. Do you think reinstalling the update could fix this? I got my update from my phone I did not froce update. Should I do a force update?

hiway

I am having lag issues without the update. I notice the browser doesn't seem to query the 3g network when loading and seems to give up after a little while. Some sites will work better.

I suspect even that Google is limiting (cyber warfare) yahoo sites/mail too and notice conncections to that time out. When surfing to other sites I see no lag and load times are fine.

Hmmmmm.....

gotwillk

i did the manual update and i also have the lag on both stock browser and dolphin, so it doesn't seem like it matters if you did it one way or the other.

user53

Thanks for the response after the factory reset. As for the lag before the update, yes there was always a liittle lag. The lag we are talking abouh is noticeably worse. It is very bad on this forum and phandroid, but when i go to androidcentral.com everything is fine with almost no lag at all.

RoyMustang

Honestly, I only notice lag on this site. Every other site I've gone to seems smooth as ever, (including engadget which is pretty content-heavy). And its not terrible lag, but more noticeable than it was. Makes me think its something in the code of phandroid specifically. I did manual upgrade btw.

lag seems to occure only for certain sites AND certain parts of certain sites. like ign.com, it would only be laggy at the top of the page with their flash animations, but once you scroll down past that part its smooth again. noticed this for engadget.com as well. top of the page with lots of graphics lags but scrolling down further has less lag. androidforums.com though has tons of lag all over. the whole site lags.

Hegemony

I'm not noticing anything like this. Browser seems about the same to me.

Timaphillips

When in doubt....battery pull.

user53

People have already tried factory reset and battery pull

alostpacket

Here's a question, how many who are experiencing this did a manual update?

bthoward

Please people put up more stars for this one:
Issue 5286 - android - Browser lags when scrolling after 2.0.1 Update on Motorola DROID - Project Hosting on Google Code

iamloco724

in the facebook app i get the same kind of lag now....so this doesnt seem to be just manual updates right its also ota people having this problem?

anyone solve there issue yet?

alostpacket

Doesn't the Facebook app use the browser? Still we may be on to something, does anyone else get the sense that it seems like a memory leak or something similar? For me it seems to start off fine and then degrade to the point of unusable.

gwlaw99

For me it is certain sites.

alostpacket

I'm having trouble reproducing it on any other site than Phandroid with the stock browser.

Dolphin has trouble on more sites it seems.

Maybe would could start a list of what sites are causing it? I can update the list and post it to the google code report

Stock Browser:
- Phandroid.com/Androidforums.com
- Wretling sites
- facebook
- any graphically intensive sites

Dolphin:
- Phandroid.com/Androidforums.com
- Engadget
- graphically intensive sites especially with form fields

i pretty much have it on any sites with alot of graphics/photos...facebook,wrestling sites i go to..this site... and so on

alostpacket

Which browser?

DA717

Engadget seems to be the biggest culprit for me but I have yet to notice any slow down on any other sites. On Engadget most of the lag happens on top where the flash ads and graphic intensive areas are but below that my scrolling is perfect. This could be more of a website issue than the browser itself. My 0.02 anyways.

PittCaleb

Just read over at CNet that a Firefox Mobile is working its way through the pipeline and should be available shortly for (most) all mobile platforms, including Android. Anxiously awaiting it, and AdBlock since ads are merely annoying on the desktop, downright painful on the Droid (due to bandwidth and screen real estate limitations).

Bump to get a few more stars on this issue... We're now on the front page of the issues list:
Issue 5286 - android - Browser lags when scrolling after 2.0.1 Update on Motorola DROID - Project Hosting on Google Code

jdella681

Yea this site seems to scroll very laggy than before than my other sites.. I guess I'll have to sacrifice the speed in the interim. I suppose something to look forward to for the next update

Hegemony

Can one of you having these problems make a video of it? I've tried many of the sites listed, and they're fine for me on 2.0.1.
