Browse problems after update...

[CavemanOOGA]

So I did the manual update on my phone and everything went well...except one thing. My browser is excruciatingly slow on heavy to semi heavy web pages now. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

I've seen a few threads over at androidforums.com with people having the same experiences. I don't have the update yet so I can't tell you my own experience though.

Tried that, did nothing.

Oh well, I guess I can live with it and hope someone finds a fix for it.

I haven't seen any lag but an increase slightly. I went to engadgetmobile.com and got a slightly faster load than before.

Oh definitely.
I did notice that pages seemed to load much faster than before. Its scrolling that's way laggy now...

Zero lag here. If you have major lag it may benefit you to do a hard reset.

No problems here, and how do you clear the cache?

Open the browser > Menu Button > More > Scroll down to Clear Cache

The only problem I had after I updated was that for a little my phone wouldn't get 3G but I figured everything was still getting settled in after awhile and turning off my WiFi it connected to 3G and I haven't had a problem since. Maybe do what Jeremy said and do a hard reset or just wait awhile and see if that works.

I myself would not recommend a hard reset unless you want to start fresh. I suggest giving it a few days to see if things improve, but I do not think the update would cause an issue of lag only in the browser application.

 

[CavemanOOGA]

Did a full factory reset and even uninstalled all my apps. Still the same thing... There a few other people on AndroidForums that are experiencing the same exact problem.


Oh well, I guess the waiting game starts now... :/

as i said, hard resets are generally not solutions for something like this.

is the lag really that major? Problem with these things is that it's slightly subjective as well. For me, the scrolling in the stock browser does actually seem slightly less efficient then before the update, but it's definitely not something that impedes my usage at all.

 

[CavemanOOGA]

Yeah trust me, it's beyond significant. Almost to the point of being unusable.

I noticed a slight lag on graphics heavy webpages that wasn't there before the update. But, it is still very usable.

 

[spatterfree]

maybe you could try to activate phone again,

Sorry I am going to disagree with you on this one. Something could have messed something up during the update process (obviously this is not the case with the OP) since it is saving all of your information and apps on the device. A general rule with all mobile devices for as long as I've owned them is when you update a ROM always start from scratch or you are bound to run into issues.

That said, I wish Android devices did not update update the way they do.

 

[kerimh40]

yeah having the same issue... the browser was flawless before the update. Has anyone tried the Dolphin browser since the update. Any lag?

 

[DreamSTi]

Same issue here, very slow! Overall I think the whole phone has slowed down after this update. Very dissapointed.

Im using dolphin... No change seen on my phone... In fact I have yet to see any real changes aside from the visual ones... Then again, I have open home, dolphin and handcent. The only stock app Im using is Gmail... and it works fine.
