Unresponsive stock web browser, anyone else?

[vNaK]

I'll be using the stock browser and every now and then after I click on a link it'll load maybe 10% (looking at the loading bar) and then it hangs up. It doesn't load the rest and after awhile a message will pop up saying the browser is being unresponsive and asks me to wait or close it. And while it's trying to load, I cant click back, change websites or anything. Sometimes if I wait awhile, it will go, but more often than not, it freezes up.

Anyone have this problem?

I'd hate to use a different browser, as it won't work with multi-view and I use that feature a lot.

Hmm, no one hasn't had any problems with their stock browser or know a fix to this?

I actually have not had this problem with the stock browser. First phone I've ever had that didn't have this problem. On my old phones I had to clear the browser cache every day to reduce the frequency of it happening. Sorry you're having the problem. Hopefully someone will chime in with a solution for you.

Having this problem on my Thunderbolt right now. Just think it's an Android thing to be honest.

If the same thing is happening with other browsers my guess is that you are not using wifi and your signal is poor. Check your signal level.

Had this problem with a particular site while trying out the demo version in a Verizon store.

Have you tried clearing data on your browser? Also as someone else suggested this could be due to poor signal issues. I've had nothing that even remotely counts as a problem with this phone at all.

I don't have terrible signal, but not the best signal either. Using my home wifi gives me same problem.

I'll try clearing the cache and see what happens. And I'll give another browser a try and see if i get the same results. Thanks for the inputs.

I think the stock browser might keep webpages in hidden windows even after you have rebooted. Make sure you don't have a boatload of websites loaded up in the stock browser.
