Try turning off JavaScript; been happening to me, too, and that's all that's helped.
I'm suffering too, cleared cache, didn't help. Unrooted xoom.
Ill try turning that off.
Only problem is limits website use...... not good
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Are there specific sites that have been problematic?
Not having issues here.
When it dies, it just "goes away", right? Not "Force Close"? If so it's the null-pointer exception I've been seeing. JS is causing it, don't know when or why.
'sup KC!
as i have mentioned on other sites, in cases like this its great to have a backup browser. also please post up the sites that are causing issue so others can test. ive not seen this. i have a stock xoom wifi latest updates.
Happens in backup browser too, I'm using dolphin HD as backup.
Happens on mini2.com, BBC sport. Tried turning off Java, but its needed in lots of sites.

Sorry its not a force close it just closes. Have been having the biggest issue with forums like www.thedieselplace.com

Make sure plugins are set to on-demand. I've seen a lot of sites that crash the browser with a ton of flash ads loaded from js.
I have seen this problem as well on many sites including android.net. It just started out of nowhere on Friday evening. I made situations better by clearing the Dalvek cache, but still crashed my browsers (Stock Browser & Dolphin Mini). I even reinstalled my recovery, and the kernel jst for grins. This helped out a little.
I then saw a note about set CPU causing problems so I uninstalled it and installed no frills CPU. This made things even better.
Next, I cleared the caches again which helped more.
Last, I upgraded the kernel to 1.2.2 and this fixed it up very well.

Yeah, Thursday evening for me- I'd just loaded another kernel from upstream right around the same time and had thought that was it (despite nothing in that kernel being related) and even backed up to a known-good kernel and init scripts (which didn't make a difference).
It's a null-pointer in the WebCore browser SDK, which explains why the Dolphin browsers are affected as well (as they also use that SDK). Opera and FF aren't affected by this, but they both have their own particular issues so I'm preferring Dolphin HD instead.
I've cleared all caches and turned on JS again, and have stayed away from sites that I know will bring it up (www.thesuperficial.com in "Desktop" mode is one), but I don't like knowing that it's only a workaround.
What I'm more curious about is if there was an update (to an app; none of the system files seem to have been affected), or a web-page we've all visited that's dropped something into the caches that is tripping up the JS processor. I don't know enough about HTML personally to know where to look.
Subscribing. Have this exact issue using stock browser, Dolphin Hd, and Maxthon on the following sites:
Www.ford-trucks.com/forums (disabling java allows me to read the site for about 5-10 mins before closing. Posting closes browser immediately.
Www.thedieselstop.com/forums (same results as above)
My Xoom is bone stock FWIW...
Having the same problem with both stock browser and dolphin. Really frusterating because the only fix I have is disabling JS but the only reason I bought the xoom was to do scheduling for work and I need JS for that. Hope someone ffigures this out before my return period is up or its bye bye xoom :-(
has anyone else found a remedy for the browser crash? its getting pretty darn annoying.
Are you rooted and running a kernel? Do you have the latest version flash player of installed? Is it only crashing on forums?

Mike,
first of all let me say that z06s ROCK! =)
Anyways, I am running the Tiamat OMG Rom with the built in Kernel. I am running Flash 10.3.185.22 and it seems to be mostly crashing on forums.

Yup, they do . I haven't had for a while though. I got rid of my last Vette about 8 months ago .
Is it only the browser that is crashing or does your Xoom reboot also?

Did you have the c6 or c5 z06? Time to upgrade to a zr1! /offtopic
My Xoom was rebooting before, but now doesn't do it as much and seem stable. The browser is what is crashing often.

To answer your question in my other thread (sorry for the double post), it even happens when I uninstall the Taimat OMG rom and reinstall bigrushdog's 3.1 rom.
according to kcrudup, its a JS issue, but it also happens when I set my JS to on demand.

My xoom seems to struggle navigating through xda. It is very slow and laggy and very tough trying to navigate through the site. Anyone else suffer through this ?
Thanks for any feedback.
how long have you had it?
What browser are you using?
Mine was horribly laggy for a day or two after I got it. I couldnt believe this tegra 2 device couldnt hang with my evo??
After a few days it really smoothed out in several ways, especially browsing the web.
Now it owns my evo, as it should
Go to the bottom of any FDA page and set viewing to "xda classic". Fixes the laggy experience.

Have to second that. opera works in web mode fine with all of the forums that I've tried..
Mine was slow as heck at first but after a day or two it started running great in stock browser, it coincided with my installing flash but I highly doubt it's related.

You can got to Settings ---> Applications ---> Browser ---> Clear cache. Did this couple of days ago and the browser seems scroll much smother.
You can also set Enable plug-ins in Browser advance settings to on demand. this will stop browser automatically loading flash contents.

Yeh, like I said though, mine started slow and got faster, I didnt clear cache and didn't turn anything off or chance any settings, all I did was install flash. Weird, but I'm happy with the performance so far.

Astonishing how much this setting helps. I recently switched to that a few days ago and I can now enjoy XDA on my tablet.
(While I'm a huge proponent for using Opera Mobile on Android 2.x, I don't like it for Honeycomb because it doesn't follow the normal text selection conventions in the OS and it isn't (yet) HW accelerated to my knowledge. Barring XDA 2010 theme on the XDA site, I get much better performance from the HC stock browser than Opera Mobile when on my tablet.)
Likewise, thanks for the tip on changing it to xda classic. Scrolling is much smoother on the stock browser now.
Thanks for all the advise and help really do appreciate it. I changed setting to classic and WOW makes a huge difference. I've had my xoom few weeks since it came out and love it. This was one of my complains because my brother owns an ipad and he uses my xoom to navigate through xda and always complains, now that is fixed Once Again THANKS ALL
The xda donate version (I thinks its offically called the premium app) works well on xoom.
Sent from my Xoom the way it should be, rooted and with SD card.
i had the laggy xda site too after i installed flash. Once I set web pages to use plugins on demand, (settings -> advanced -> enable plugins -> on demand), thepages load much faster and scroll smoothly. I think it was all the flash-based ads that were making the browser slow down.
I've noticed this helped other sites as well, so if you are experiencing browser lag on other sites, try this method. Hope it helps!
I had a similar experience with my Acer A500. Thanks for the suggestion about using the classic theme. With the XDA 2010 theme even entering text was a laggy chore, and that is with plugins set to on-demand. Switching to the classic theme solved the lag, and has made posting much more pleasant. I will share this information over in our neck of the woods.
i've also noticed that portrait scrolls better than landscape.
Thanks for the "XDA Classic Theme" tip!
With the changes to WebView and 3.1's updated CSS support, I believe it's corrected many of the issues with XDA's forums on the Xoom.
I loaded it up and it's running 10x better. I can finally scroll smoothly through the forums without having to resort to the 'XDA Classic' theme.
This is great
But if on the verizon network, the forums suck up data quick with advertisements and peoples unnecissary footers.

my ability to enter texts in the forums after upgrade stinks. Such a lag when typing to words being displayed
Browser rendering in general is much improved.
The vBulletin typing on sites like XDA is still unbearably laggy. There's a 2 second delay between key press and the letter appearing.

Glad I have seen this thx, thought my xoom was laggy, but if iit is ononly xda.......happy days.Except the whole double lletter ttyping tthing.... is there a fix for that?
i was gonna say the opposite really. Browsing these forums is unbeleivably laggy and typing messages is horrendous.
I was thinking maybe that was an issue with using the us software on my xoom, but I guess not.
Using Opera MINI on problem forums , seems to solve the input lag.
Hopefully the stock browser someday will work better.
browser is ok with the forums but the app always fc's when i login then try to open a thread
deleting text in a reply box is a nightmare
My experiences are similar. The text inputs are terrible... but with 3.1, the forum page rendering is much faster.
by the way, is it just me or it is common issue that my xda app downloaded from the Market ALWAYS fc if I logged in then next time I open it, I am guest in that app again...
In that way it successfully blocked every my effort to log in or save a favourite forum in my xoom through that app...
Any fix to this?
Thanks!
things are laggy. Actually suck. Before update it ran much better!! When I scroll down a page i get pink boxes really bad!! :-(
Pink boxes? The update actually made your device slower? Maybe you need to preform a factory reset

At the bottom of the forums switch the view to XDA Classic. It isn't laggy at all for me after doing this.
I'm using the TDR 3.1 rooted kernel and the keyboard is fine. I experienced the lag on the BRD 3.1 rooted kernel. The TDR supports over-clocking and I just flipped that on, works great. I also use the SlideIT soft keyboard which is working nicely. I was having problems with long posts on phpbb forums before 3.1 which is no longer a problem, yay. Things are looking up.
i m using note from over 1 month now and i think its slower than other phones, i have used sgs2 before this. my touch stops responding sometimes while browsing or playing music.also 1 error i have experienced a lot is when i play music directly from folder. My firmware is up to date. have you experienced the same or is it just me?
ive only had the phone a few days but i cant say i have seen it slow down, only time was after flashing the kl7 stock rom as it needed a few reboots to bed in
i just put la1 on and now it seems faster than before
Are you on LA1?
Use LA1 with new abyss 3.1 test kernel. This thing flies and no overheating of any sort.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
My note is faster than the S2 aside from using the pinch to zoom out on the app drawer and home screen. So idk probably a defective unit? or a defective ram module?
sorry folks, i am noob, so i ll probably have to look on forum to find out what you guys are talking about. i havent rooted my phone yet. but now i am willing to. i will surely look into it this weekend. any specific tutorials you guys wanna direct me to for rooting?

Try LA1 from here.
I'm not rooted either.
Just stock LA1.
I use rhapsody rom and abyss 3.1 test and my note is very fast! I have some problem with battery drain but I think next kernel will solve this issue
(stock phone unrooted) mine sometimes freezes but most times is ok. had an episode or two of crashing restarting without being able to do anything but now ok, some force closures in stock video player, stock file manager sometimes takes ages processing everytime i move into different folders. other video players and file managers are ok. stock task manager shows total ram at about 800mb of which about 644mb is being used most times or there abouts. thought the phone had 1gb where is the missing 200mb?? any clues.
I do not have a note, but going back to stock may fix your problem (or wiping dalvik and regular cache should fix this). After a while a rom can just get "clogged" up, which most do (cm7 takes longer usually). Clearing these or a whole different rom should fix this.
If you havcpower saving on can make a difference. On one stock ROM it lowered my cpu thresholds significantly

I recommend to install an application from market to monitor your system resources such as Android System Info application. Kill unwanted applications and how your system performs

Just flashed today, and I'm not experiencing much lag when opening the app drawer. I have to press things a couple times before the touch registers, but that seems pretty normal with the KF.
I did perform a full wipe before installing the latest ICS rom.
It is performing perfect for me with 0 lag and grey touch response. I only notice the touch in gaming really not sway to day things. Might want to try reflashing it cause mine runs smooth as silk. Using 1/19 release forgot to mention
Sent from my Kindle Fire with ICS power
Yeah I would reflash mine runs fine I had one minor SOD issue the first morning I flashed it and never looked back . I have ran this since it was released with sound for the past two days with the only issue is battery last a little less time and it could be a little faster but its just alpha build its why its in the development forum. Jackpot will have this thing screaming when its released stable let's just flash it and report issue
I updated my tf101 on Friday, no issues there other than having to update some apps (I'm looking at you, flash)... So far, the tablet *feels* more responsive, but some of it I know is the novelty of it all. I wasn't suffering at all when using the previous version because I used Dolphin HD pretty much exclusively, with little to no type lag. However, ever since ICS took hold, I'm having issues with Dolphin. What happens is that the browser will freeze occasionally when I tap a link that shows in the address bar when I type some characters. It happens on search suggestions or on actual historical links. It does not happen on every tap and when it happens the OS gives me the option of force closing the non-responsive Dolphin. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling Dolphin but it just happened again. Anyone else seeing this or figured out how to fix this? Thanks.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
No problems at all with Dolphion HD or any Browser for that matter.
Try to wipe cache and dalvik cache again. Even if you already did it before flashing.
Yea same problem, Dolphin was awesome before and for me the only choice. Now I find chrome for browsing is best and the default bowser for flash / iplayer type browsing.
I cant even full screen top gear in Dolphin any more but works great in the default browser even better than dolphin on honeycomb.
seems like a new learning experience all over again
Dolphin 7.4.0 beta is out which fixes the hangs in ICS.
Dolphin just isn't optimized for ICS. It's been my browser of choice for a long time, but have been using others now until Dolphin gets updated.
Trying the 7.4.0 beta version... Thanks for the heads up sbdags.

Well we'll have to wait for an official update for the new ICS. In the mean time, 7.4 beta seems like a good option, although its still in beta.

I just updated from 7.4 beta to the 7.4 on the marked and started browsing. Within 10 minutes it hung again on a historical link... crap...

I got same problem especially with swiftkeyboard but after uninstall nd use Asus keyboard then everything back to normal.
