Fire HD8 2017 5.4.0.0 Slow Browsing - Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, just received my HD8 2017 version 5.4.0.0, i installed Google Play Services and of course, Google Play Store.
The system in pretty smooth and everything is working fine except for browsing: for some reason, on some websites it takes ages to load and sometime it won't load completely.
The fun fact is that i've got this problem with Silk but also with Google Chrome or Firefox.
I suspect the problem is somehow related to hardware acceleration but i might be wrong.
Is someone else experiencing that same issue?

Update
Appartently, the issue is somehow related to my wireless connection, i tried with another connection and the problem was no longer there.
The strange thing is that every other device in my house, android and windows, work just fine with any website.

I ran a speedtest(.net) on both my home wifi and my work wifi, which are both well above 50mbps connections, and seem to be capped at about 3.5mbps dl. When I switch to a mobile hotspot that I create with my GS7 Edge, I shoot up to about 35mbps. Any ideas as to why there would be a difference? Thanks!!

Yup, having the same issue. Would greatly appreciate any ideas as to why.

I'm using one and connections take what feels like 10 seconds to open. When I open a URL it takes that long before the page starts to open, then much longer before the images load. When Amazon pages update, there's a long delay as well. Seems to affect more than just the browser. It reminds me of what a connection with very high latency would feel like. I've tried resetting to factory to no avail.
UPDATE: @boom1995 gave me an idea to try out another connection. I fired up tethering on my phone and connected to that. It seems to have solved the problem...immediate page lots now. I guess there is something odd with the home wifi...even though my laptop works fine with the home wifi. Weird!

problem with www.lovefilm.com site

Hi,
I seem to suddenly have problems with http://www.lovefilm.com site.
It works fine on 3G but on wifi it almost finishes loading and then hangs my browser causing me to force close.
Can someone try http://www.lovefilm.com on Wifi and see if it's their site or my phone.
Thanks
I am on stock rom btw.
It's you
it seems to be the Shutter Island banner on the top which takes ages to load.
are you getting the same problem with that banner?
The banner only loads on Wifi, not 3G
Yeah I'm on wifi... the full page loads and I can navigate around, no force close needed.
Interesting...
I went to the site on 3G. It was loading smoothly and when it had maybe 10 percent left slowed to a halt. I got the popup asking if I wanted to close because it was unresponsive. I chose to wait.
The interesting this is that this is the first time my N 1 acted glitchy. I pressed the home buttoning and it took forever to go there. Then, once there, the nexus live wallpaper was stuttering, the running streams of color were skipping about. Weird, and a first. Though the page eventually loaded up when I returned to the browser.
Some bad mojo on that site!

thanks for the reply, thats exactly what happens to mine on wifi. Sure it's the top banner.
on 3G it's fine as the banner does not load, network must block it to load the page faster.
Glad its not my N1 anyway.

opera mobile 9.7 bug

I noticed on my phone (and in a lot of reviews) when opera mobile 9.7 has finished loading a page the progress bar still hangs half way for about 7-8 seconds. Anyone else noticed this?
Yes, but never when using WiFi. I just assumed it was due to a slow data connection

okay, maybe it is actually loading something because i just tested it on wifi too and the loading bar didnt hang.
Opera is very good at making the page usable very quickly, the chances are opera is still loading pictures and text that are currently off screen.

[Q] Browsing pages stops working randomly

Hi all,
I've had my Transformer now for about a week and while I first had some minor issues, I dealt with most of them by making a factory reset, although I can't get rid of this one. When browsing webpages it happends once in a while that I all of a sudden get the cannot view page message. The page itself doesnt matter, nor does restarting the browser. If I restart the transformer or reconnect to my network, the problem is resolved.
I've checked for updates but I'm already up-to-date (3.1), I've tried different Wi-Fi's, but the problem still persists. Does anyone know what could cause this? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Marthax
Doesn't anyone have any ideas?
As a side note, I can also say that the Wi-Fi seems to be shutting down everytime I close the screen. This can be resolved by rebooting the connection, but it's pretty annoying. I'm guessing that this is a bug that will get resolved by an update soon?
You can adjust the wifi disconnection policy in the settings under wifi and networks and then wifi settings. You can set it to not disconnect. It is set up as standard to disconnect when you switch off the unit to standby to conserve power. Hope this helps.
As far as the browser crashing which has been widely reported you can install opera from the market which has good flash support and has no lag when typing. I would also give thumb keypad a go from the market it is an excellent alternative to the stock keypad.

Had this issue in Opera Mobile the other day. The browser refused to load a page and just stuck like that. I think it might be a Flash issue as it was a Youtube page.
Thanks a bunch guys for the answers! Gonna give it a try.

4.3 problems

I have Wi-Fi problems with 4.3. Seems to disconnect and be sluggish at downloading. Anyone else?
Also seen some strange flickering sometimes in apps.

I'm having the same issue with the Wifi connection being dropped on both my Nexus 10 and Gnex with 4.3, both were Ok yesterday but have started acting up this afternoon
EDIT: Ok it seems the problem was with my router! Guess I should have checked that beforehand!
I have experienced something similar. Reported in this tread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2384328
I have not noticed that I drop wifi but notice in Chrome (99% of table use is with Chrome) that sometime when I click a link, open a bookmark, or a direct URL that it sometimes just sits and spins for anywhere between 5 and 60 seconds. I never get a timeout and indication I have lost network but it takes forever. Its really random, some pages load extremely fast (few seconds) but sometimes those same urls load really really slow. Don't notice this on my phone (on wifi) or computers and never noticed it on my N10 with 4.2.2. I did a full wipe and installed the 4.2.2 image then accepted the OTA yesterday to see if that would fix it. I'm not sure yet. It seems better but I had a least 1 case where is was slow again last night. This could have been the website so I need some more time to determine if it's fixed...

Although early in the experience curve, on my system You Tube videos are constantly stopping and restarting, waiting for the stream. I rarely experienced that with 4.2.2 so am hoping it is a issue that resolves itself.
Interesting... I find that WiFi has improved on my Nexus 10. At home, my Nexus would drop the network connection periodically and then reconnect about 5 seconds later. So far on 4.3 I haven't seen this happen.
I have no problem with WiFi on 4.3
I've had WIFI issues for as long as I've owned my N10. It just recently stopped working (couldn't reply in hangouts) so I turned off WIFI. When I turned it back on, it would just say authentication error. I had to reboot the N10 to get it to reconnect.

I noticed the ytube issue too. I changed from auto to 2.4ghz under advanced and so far seems better but not sure yet..
Well no luck with 2.4Ghz. The issue is very sporadic, sometimes everything works great and but then all of a sudden Chrome takes forever to access a new url. I have determined it's not Chrome, it's just that is what I mostly use on my tablet. I have seen this several times in Youtube and so when this happend i grab my phone (on wifi) to see if it could be network related but everything works flawlessly on my phone. I started doing some speeds tests to help troubleshoot this issue and the wifi performance is across the board whereas it's very consistent on my phone wifi. When I had one of these delays last night I immediately switched over to my speedtest.net app and it reported that it could not access the internet! My wifi signal indicator never indicates that I have lost wifi. Definitely something strange going on here. I have already factory wiped my tablet twice (originally going to 4.3 and after to troubleshoot this issue) and it never happened on 4.2.2 or on my Phone wifi there had got to be an issue with Wifi on 4.3. Just wonder why more people are not having issues. I might try swapping out my WAP but considering all worked great on 4.2.2 and it currently works fine on my phone wifi that would frustrating if it turns out to be my wifi.

Followup: The YouTube slowdown continued and after a few hours the internet connection became so slow that it would take several minutes to load a single web page. My internet connection on my Mac acted normally during this time. In the end I could not even get text pages to load in the XDA app. After rebooting several times, cleaning caches, turning wifi off and on, cycling thru the wifi advanced options and flashing the Monkey kernel I finally gave up and restored a Rootbox nandroid backup. My roadmap to the 4.3 install was: formatting all memory (including data/media), restoring my rooted stock 4.2.2 nandroid backup, and then fastbooting the JWR66V from JDQ39 OTA zip file. I then re-rooted by installing Chainfire's Update-SuperSu-v1.43.zip. I have no idea what I did wrong with the installation but will wait with 4.3 until updated 4.3 custom roms become available. Currently I am very satisfied with Rootbox so waiting is not an issue.
Has anyone with those problems tried to turn on/off WiFi optimizations in advanced WiFi settings?

Yes, tried that and it didn't help. I'm now torn between going back to 4.2.2 or staying on 4.3 cause I just picked up a Miracast adapter... Man i hate it when they create new bugs with things that had no issues in the first place!
I figured out that my laptop makes the wifi on my nexus VERY slow.

I have found that switching to my 5 ghz setting on my Asus router has solved this issue for me.

Since 4.3 has anyone else found that copying text from pretty much any application crashes the app?

Wifi slow on A5 (2016) after 6.0.1 update

I've been having an issue with my A5 after I updated from lollipop, WiFi acts strange. I've tried wiping cache partition and reinstalling the firmware via smartswitch but nothing changed.
The best way to describe it is that it's laggy, for example, if I try opening a web page in chrome it takes about 10 seconds for it to respond and then it opens it up right away. Same thing with sending pics on whatsapp etc...
When I open speedtest, it takes 10-15 seconds before I even get the "begin test" button, but once it starts, it reads correct internet speed. It's weird... WiFi works perfectly fine with all my other devices and it used to work great on Lollipop.
someone???

Actually, it is not slow on all wifi networks... for some reason it's slow on my home router, but on most others it works perfectly fine which is strange cause on Lollipop it worked perfectly fine on my home router.... strange
