slow browser on Nookie Froyo

[dplcj]

The nook is my first Android device and I want to thank everyone who has worked on all the how-to's and ROMs. Very clear instructions I was able to get everything loaded without problems.

I am running Nookie Froyo overclocked on a class 10 SD card. The problem I have is that when I use the stock browser or the Dolphin HD browser to look at web sites such as android central it loads about 80% then hangs up and eventually asks to wait or force close. Any ideas what might be causing this?

How's the responsiveness otherwise? Sounds like my experience with a crappy Class 10 card.

The responsiveness otherwise is ok. Reasonable with no big lags but not exactly quick and snappy.

Interesting reading. Turns out I have the same class 10 8 gig patriot SD you listed. It was a major upgrade from the class 4 patriot I was using at first. That one was so slow it was completly unusable.

So did the class 2 Sandisk slow down anything else other than slow to burn the image?

No, I have noticed no other changes from the Sandisk. I suppose it probably takes another second or two to install a program or copy a file, but it's not noticeable.

I've seen others with supposedly the same card run froyo at least semi-successfully. Makes you wonder how similar the "same" cards are. Maybe I got a cheap batch.

I took your advise and upgraded to a 4 gig Sandisk and and everything is running very quickly now. I started from scratch and reloaded everything but I still have the same problem with the browser. It loads slowly and then stalls at about 80% loaded and locks up everything until the Force close button appears. Any other suggestions?

I'm using a kingston class 6 and I have the same problem. Its so annoying I usually just end up using my phone to browse the web instead.

Found a solution finally. Switched from nookie Froyo 6.8 to CM7 and the browser works perfectly.
