Help Browser Has become unusable

[Federer]

So a couple of days ago my browser slowed down to the point that It is worthless.. It takes 17 seconds to load google. It also take the same 17 seconds to load the previous page I just looked at using the back button... I reset a few times and nothing changed, so I decided to go for the touch wiz update. The TW did nothing to improve the browsing speed, and its Fugly and I wish I never added it. I have tried Dolphin, and skyfire with no improvement. The only thing I can think of is... I purchased the hdmi dock for for the galaxy tab 7 and switched the part that secures the tab for the 10.1. The hdmi feature worked great with the dock, but If I left the tab hooked up to the hdmi dock after the show I was watching ended, the tab would have a black screen and be not respond without holding the power button down until the tab reset. Could this have harmed my 10.1? I also did the factory reset with zero improvement.... Thanks in advance

You're theory is possible.

A lot of times, weird issues like this can be blamed on 3rd party apps - like task killers or other apps that manage phones/devices at the system level. So maybe list those here.

Also, I've found I often waste more time troubleshooting certain things than I would if I'd just done a hard reset and started fresh. It sounds like a PITA, but not as bad as it sounds.

I did the hard reset and nothing improved. To make this post I hit reply and had to wait 19 seconds for the page to load. I will contact Samsung next. I may sell it since I bought it for my 4 week trip to Spain in July. Now that my trip is done I can sell and wait for kal -El. Plus I scored the HP touch pad for 99 bucks to hold me over.
