Anyone finds HTC ONE V's web browsering to be quite choppy?

I've tried different browsers, the stock one, Chrome, FireFox, Opera Mini, Dolphin mini and Boat browser,
all of them seem to be quite choppy except Opera Mini which is using different kind of rendering method,
but too bad the mobile sites are ass ugly in Opera Mini and you can't change it's user agent.
I've heard that the web browsers in ICS are improved a lot, so is it just me or is it a common problem? I want to know which one are you guys using too.
Also, I found that the keyboard to be quite unresponsive, after it pops up you need to wait for 1 or 2 seconds to actually able to type, how do I fix this problem?

Yes, I am facing that problem too.
I have no clue why that is so.
Try using Dolphin Browser, it might solve some problems!

Yeah when I had the One, browsing wasn't as pleasant of an experienced. The keywords input was laggy and it just wouldn't work as good as it should. That's one area where I thought the One V fell behind..

Working fine for me
Browsing is working fine for me in default browser, except that it can not open more than 3 tabs at a given time.

BTW, running Browsermark I get the following results:
Stock browser: 40,653
Dolphin HD: 44,018
Chrome Beta: 74,228!!!!
I didn't believe it at first so I repeated the test and got the same result. When you watch the test you can really see the difference.
I can't wait until Google works out the bugs in Chrome and it becomes more stable. It's going to be the browser to beat.

??? I'm not getting this with Swype.
Edit:
Now that I've rooted I'm getting getting some strange behavior with Chrome and see the double keyboard sometimes and pieces of the keyboard showing up sometimes.

Please guide if I should buy this phone...
People say that it sets on fire as soon as we talk on the phone... TRUE?

Why wouldn't Opera Mini work?
There are two browsers: Opera Mobile web browser and Opera Mini web browser. I think Opera MINI SHOULD WORK.

im using Dolphin HD, best browse for android, im prefer default browser in original ICS, its simple and truly fast

(Q) Best Browser?

Just wondering what alternate browsers you guys are using? ( if any) i have tried some personally but keep finding myself coming back to the default.( never thought i would say that but ics browser is amazing lol) what do you guys use?

Ics + browser is superb, nothing cones close for me. Stock browser with enhancements.

Chrome Beta.

I use the stock browser. Go to settings -> Labs -> and enable quick controls. I find them extremely useful and wish chrome beta would have a similar system. I used the chrome beta for a while and i liked it but found it still had some stability issues.

Hi,
If it can help:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625084&highlight=browser and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401434&highlight=best+browser and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487290&highlight=best+browser

Still stuck on the stock browser, but I´m not liking it very much. Was thinking of trying out the Firefox browser since I´m running it for many years on all my computers. But at the same time I like to keep things light and not install something I don´t really need.
Anyone got any experience with Firefox on the phone?

Stock for me. Before used Opera. Tried Chrome and didnt like it at all

Only Opera.
Because
1) I like controls (back, tabs etc.) on the bottom of the screen. Stock browser requires a very long thumb to access address bar.
2) I like the starter page with thumbs of my bookmarks.
3) Switching between tabs is much faster with Opera (because it's at the bottom).
4) etc.
I wish Opera was a bit faster. But can't complain about the speed when it's so convenient to use (comparing to stock browser or dolphin).

Opera Mobile.
It crashes sometimes but only when I open more than ten tabs and all of them are opening pages at that moment. Opera force close and restart helps.

Stock browser. The best.

I like Boat Browser.

I really love Chrome beta, but it feels so sluggish on my device... so I've been using ICS Browser+.

Ics Browser+ in tablet mode. Fast and convenient.

Chrome Beta. Combined with desktop Chrome and the new sync tabs feature, it's a breeze moving between phone and desktop.

I'm surprised so many are using stock browser but nor using ics + browser instead.

Stock, but going Chrome when it's out of Beta

Chrome Beta as my main browser. Still keeping stock available for when I need to watch flash videos (though I have to say Google did amazing on the stock browser this time). And if I ever need to watch a Hulu video then I have Flash Video Browser for that

[Q] juice defender's extreme profile 10% battery after 10 hrs?

So I haven't got a chance to root yet, but i got juice defender on extreme profile and I got 10% battery left after 10 hrs and I haven't even used it that much. I remember before just using the free version I was getting more. I use wifi over mobile network when possible and I make sure wifi is off when leaving the house, but I was home all day. What is everyone else getting and any help? Here is a screen shot.

Obviously screen brightness is the most of it, but do you think thats accurate? I have it on auto? What should I put it on? How many hours are you guys getting with or without juice defender?

I average around 12hours with 2.5 to 3 hours of screen on time. That's without any kind of battery saver. I have 4g on all day, auto sync on, full brightness on all day. Usually leave my house at 2 to work and when I get out at around 11 I have around 60 to 70%.
Sent from Flip's S3

I get typically 3-4 hours of screen time, it seems like, but I'm not doing the most I could.
The total time really just depends on how long it was idle - I've gone over a day, but also used up battery much faster. I typically charge once a day, 16-ish hours from last charge.

I am thinking that you have some other apps running in the background that are polling for notifications. I am also betting that you are not getting very much Deep Sleep due to wakelocks. The only way to really tell is to use Betterbatterystats from the market, but that is a root app, so no joy there.
Only thing that I can offer is the simple approach. Check your Auto-Sync -is it synching all the time, do you have Maps/GoogleNow running all the time, Locations/GPS, Manage Apps>FC apps that you are not using, maybe take a look at your JuiceDefender preferences (I have used JD+ for years and love it-Don't use JDExt though), Lots of downloads/surfing (see Browser is up there on your list),...
Really without Root, it would be hard to diagnose what is "really" eating your battery.

Why not the extreme profile? Right now I have jd-ultimate and on extreme profile. No good? It basically has all my data off completely. Then I enabled the apps that I use in configuration. This then only allows data for these particular apps but only when I open these apps up for use. I appreciate the help and by no means second guessing you. I just dont understand why the jd plus not using extreme profile is better than jd ultimate using extreme profile. By the way I turned the brightness from auto to all the way down and it seems the battery is a lot better now, but I haven't used the phone as much as the other day so idk.

No, no you are fine. I don't think you are 2nd guessing me at all. I just don't use Extreme because I use the Customize option myself. Plus I have JD+ and not JDUlt. If you want more about my set up, go to my battery guide and post#4. It has my specific settings and how JD really works.
Also, just because you are not actively "using" the app, doesn't mean that it isn't running. If you say set up Twitter to poll for notifications every 15mins, well, that is a User Preference which will take priority over JD's Preferences and will open up your radios, thus causing battery drain.
My main point above was that you need to look at your background processes and see what is running. I am betting that you have some things that are running that you are not aware of and which can be shut down (i.e. media scanner, picasa,...) Get Betterbaterystats from my guide or the market and it will tell you what is running/eating your battery and also what is causing wakelocks and preventing Deep Sleep.

Betterbatterystats is really worth it, I have the apk from here, but plan on buying it next pay cheque.
It will tell you where your battery power is really going. It can be a bit to figure out for a noob, but I just Google things I wasn't sure about.
I think that controlling things myself is the most effective thing to do since I know what I really need I can Erma of functionality and where I can compromise.

[Q] Android OS and Android System battery usage

Was wondering where everyones battery usage was sitting at for these two services. Mine are both constantly on top and i cant figure out why. Anyone have this same problem or is this the new norm?

I had same issue for a day...I just went through all my apps that may be refreshing or syncing and turned everything off that I didn't need. I do have my weather widget on lock screen refreshing every hour but it doesn't seem to effect my battery at all. I'd say something is running in the background

Same issue I had with my S4 once updating to KitKat and unfortunately, It's basically the same on the Note 4.

These are always near the top now with Kitkat. Was the same on my Note 3.

Ive been having the Android System / OS problem...battery life has been terrible lately. I have no clue why....any ideas guys?

I had this problem too, for me it turns out to be caused by the phone hanging while syncing.
Go to Settings > Account > Google > (your account) and check if there is a syncing symbol that is persistent (like it will just not disappear after a couple minutes). If your case is like mine, that's what is keeping your phone awake and reducing your battery life. For me, I removed my Google account then re-added it just to make sure it was that one thing hanging (which in my case was Google Play Movies & TV), and when the results were the same, I unchecked the culprit and my battery life returned to normal.
I don't know why Google Play Movies & TV hangs when syncing for me, but since disabling sync for it I've had no other issue with my battery life.
Hope that helps

How do you get such high screen on time? I get 4-5 hours of screen time on lowest brightness.

Battery drains fast ( + screenshots)

Hi,
I noticed lately that my battery is draining fast. Like 1 percent for 50 minutes (In the best case) when the phone is on airplane mode and I don't touch it at all.
When I actually use the phone it goes down to like 2-3 minutes to 1 percent of battery.
I don't have root at all but used my PC to gain access for Wakelock Detector and as you can see in the pic I got 30 minutes of malwarebytes (I have the premium version with real time protection)
But usually Whatsapp is the one on the top with the most time on CPU
I have a few screenshots of Wakelock Detector in CPU, Wakeup triggers, and kernel wakelock. And almost a screenshot from AccuBattery app. I hope I can get to the solution with your help
Also I heard about AKT that you can get 7-14 screen time hours with it. Can I use it on my device? (of course after I root it)
Thanks in advance

you should uninstall malwarebytes if you want battery drain to stop. malwarebytes is malware by itself
And then, you may want to tweak whatsapp, it consumes too much power

How can I tweak whatsapp?
Btw I noticed that when I close whatsapp my battery is pretty normal so I think whatsapp is the main cause. I got pretty good battery even when malwarebytes was on and whatsapp always seems to take most of the battery bt AccuBattery app.

So 50 minutes for 1% with apps running isn't bad... And I see you're connected to network with two bars on 4G is that LTE or HSPA variant like TMobile does? 2 bars is going to drain your battery because your modem is going to keep trying to get better signal.. none of your screen shots show you in airplane mode as well

I said that I tried to put the phone in airplane mode and even closed all no-system apps with greenify but even then the battery went down 1 percent every 50 minutes.
Btw can resetting the device can work?
If I will choose reset it I will unlock the bootloader and root the phone too
And I still don't know if I can use AKM on my phone with snapdragon 845 after & after the phone is rooted)

Lol I accidentaly commented from another device so it's a different account. Anyway, do you think the problem appears because it's Whatsapp Plus (which has a kind of malware in it which stoles data, but still I decided to keep it because of the features) or it's like that in normal whatsapp too?
If I will root my phone I will be able to find an alternative for the Whatsapp Plus features while using the normal whatsapp from the playstore so just wanted to know if whatsapp has this wakelock problem globaly (Don't know if this is the place, tell me where I can open a thread on it if this isn't the place ?)
