Hi,
Anyone notice that the Android stock browser produce bad image quality when zoomed in images?
Is it possible to change the quality of showing images? I can imagine that I might need to lower the quality on 3G, but on WiFi I want quite high.
Before I got this phone, I was thinking that its 3.7" screen will be superb on viewing images on the web ... Think sites like *you-know*
Unfortunately it is not.
Opera Mini has options to choose image quality but unfortunately you cant zoom in that much.
Things like what? I'm not sure I know what you're talking about...
No, the 3D gallery that you download manually does not support full colour images - however I believe the one off the market might when available
this has been discussed at length already. do search before posting.
data is compressed when browsing and results in degradation of jpg images.
this should not happen on WiFi and doesn't on my desire. depends how far you are zooming in I suppose.
anoyingly you see this effect if using the phone as a modem and viewing websites on your pc too.
if you are seeing this effect when connected to WiFi it is a different issue though. can you try to describe what it is about the images that is not right.

I think I remember that thread, but that was a discussion about viewing "YouTube" using YouTube player app.
Are you saying that the stock web browser does this as well? I guess so ...
@marksyzm: Try http://www.playboy.com ... then zoom in to one of the pictures. It is kinda blurry ...
At some websites, images are even worse on quality.
And I am using WiFi at full speed.
I wish there is an option to set the image quality like in the Opera Mini.
PS: Anyone has an iPhone? Is this also happening on the Safari browser?

When I click your link it takes me to a WAP enabled version of the site, and the pictures there are blurry. But at the bottom there's a link to the full site and there the pictures look fine. You can set your phone to always use the full version of websites in the browser settings
Porn on your mobile... jeez.
Lol...
Try full web version of Facebook...
And see the profile photo at the top left.
Very blurry
Yes this has been discussed. Reload the webpage and you'll get hi Res images.
I've tried loading a webpage on 3G and then on wifi, no difference, although they only become blurry when zoomed a lot, so it doesn't bother me
I don't want to upset anyone but please search. we really are having the same conversations every other week.

Posted before this in a weeks old thread about it with no resolve to date. Like checking xtremesystems.org forums right now with the latest screenshots of AMD Thuban posted... some display fine, most utter junk -- blocky, pixelated -- that I can't makeout any details from. Same with any online image through opera or the stock browser using a very good WiFi connection. refreshing/rebooting doesn't change squat, its been like this since late March.

Not sure which page your looking at but everything on the frontpage of xtremesystems.org looks fine.
I`ve found if i`m browsing using mobile networks the initial page load the images are low quality, then a reload brings in the higher detailed version.
If i`m browsing on wifi I get the high detailed version straight away.
Ok just checked image quality on few different web pages over WiFi, picture is superb
So it only compresses images while you are on WiFi, which is good, but still I would like to see option for this

Image size
N.1: as suggested above this has been discussed in other threads, but no one pointed to other threads, and I can't find a better thread than this.
N.2: as said above and I've just tested there is no difference with wifi on/off, stock/other browser, first load/reload.
But I can see a difference about those two images
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=891
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=898
the first thread shows fine, on my computer the same way as on my mobile.
The second has bigger images (800KB vs 100KB) and on my mobile they are indeed blurry and not-readable.
So does image size have an impact on quality ? And since it happens on any browser / network, does anybody have an idea where this happens on the download process ?
[EDIT] code.google issue 6021 link http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6021
Hello,
The stock browser on the One X does not work on any medium-heavy website. Pinch to zoom and double tap start stuttering and makes the experience unusable. I then rooted and flashed a couple of different roms but they all offer the exact same issues/experience to me. I have tried Chrome, Dolphin and Opera and they all give me the same issues.
This video on YouTube is EXACTLY how my One X acts with any browser I have installed... I unchecked Fastboot inside settings and that did nothing. Its not Adobe Flash because it stutters even when Flash is uninstalled. I also disabled re-flow of text but the issues persist.
Any ideas on what is the cause of this? This is a huge issue for me because I do not think I have warranty since I bought this phone unlocked from overseas.What can I do?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEFWshNQ3ac
From my experience, stock browser is very fast and smooth, even browse to xda or other desktop websites are just good.
Dolphin hd performs much the same as stock one, but with 3 dot menu.
Chrome beta is laggy when compared with the two above.
Are you using 3g or WiFi? Which website you experience problem? Let me have a try!
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
I am having this problem with guardian.co.uk, engadget.com, theverge.com any heavy website. I have tried it on wifi and 3G with 3 different roms but the browser performs the exact same.
My browser acts identical to what you see in the YouTube link.
For me browser is lightning. You may have a hardware dud
Its only after I disabled Javascript and Auto-flow that did the browser become a little usable... What would that have anything to do with? If I were to go complete back to stock would that change anything?

I just try the websites you listed using 3G connection with Dolphin HD.
I can't said it is 100% smooth, especially when the site is still loading, but sure it is NOT unusable. Zoom and double tap are so smooth after loading complete.
---------- Post added at 06:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 AM ----------
I just watch the youtube video, actually my browser performs about the same as in the video.
I wonder if your expectation is too high? This is just a phone with limited memory, viewing complex website is not recommended, and navigation is also difficult. You can view the mobile site and the corresponding App if available.
Exactly my point. My galaxy s2 had much better web browsing than this, heck even my Nexus S was better. Its a quad core phone it should handle these website easy.
Edit: Then why are there videos of the One X with butter smooth web browsing on YouTube and others say the same on here? Mine is as bad if not worse than what the video shows. It crashes constantly with new tabs.
Using quad-core not necessary means that it is smoother in viewing a web page. I didn't try other machines you mention, maybe look for others comment on this.

have you tried any of the browser benchmarks like browsermark or sunspider just to see if the performance is up to par?
I'm very satisfied with the stock browser, it's the fasted I've tried... Second best is Dolphin IMHO. Browsing over WiFi is very very fast and scroll really smooth.

Maybe take a look at System Panel or Tablet CPU Usage
and see if there is something slowing your phone in general.

I agree with this, coming from being a long term iOS user the browsers available on Android are SHOCKING!
They are miles away from being as slick as the iOS browser, yes they support flash but lets face it flash on Android is buggy and rubbish anyway.
For usability Android has a long way to go, I never use the browser anymore I just use my iPad for browsing.
i tried the heavy sites like guardian.co.uk and Engadget and they open smoothly and without any shutter what so ever. while loading and even after that
I just checked stock browser on www.engadget.com and it's nothing like on that Youtube video. It's very quick and reflows in a blink of an eye. I was zooming and panning at the same time, as soon as I let go it's reflown almost instantly. I was doing it for few minutes and the way text always reflows to page width is nice and almost instantenous.
I don't know why such big difference in performance between my phone and the video.
P.S. Some browsers don't even allow to pan and zoom at the same time which is a big letdown.
Dolphin here, works flawlessly.

I can't agree with this. I also own iPhone4, iPod Touch 4 and iPad2, and compare with HOX and Ipad2 on www.engadget.com, I can't feel any difference, yes HOX will have a slight different when you zoom in or out, as the browser will reflow the text, but it takes just a blink.
I also went to an telcom shop to try GSII using stock browser, the result is just the same as HOX.
Don't forget the resolutions are different between the three devices.
OP statement is that any browser is unusuable, I can't agree with this.
I personally feel that Dolphin HD is smoother than stock browser.

Have you watched the YouTube video, specifically when he loads the NY Times webpage? Do you not see that pinching and zoom is extremely cumbersome and delayed. The browser constantly freezes, even scrolling stops working. How can you tell me its supposed to be like this when my original Galaxy S phone is smoother than the One X. Its only after I turn off flash and javascript that it becomes a little more responsive.
@Schriss I have used other HTC One's and that is how its supposed to be. Maybe I am just an isolated case I do not know, thinking of doing a major factory reset and starting all over again.

I didn't watch the whole video, but my browser performs just like the first part of the video, very smooth.
After reading your post, I watch the whole video again, and notice the part about www.nytimes.com, and then I try again in my HOX, to be honest, no problem at all, the browser displays the page very smooth and flawless. I can't see any problem navigating this page.
P.S. I'm using Dolphin HD, Apex launcher instead of Sense. I don't like stock browser because when I scroll down, It will lift up the menu at top and bottom, it is not as friendly and direct as Dolphin.
I just tape how I browse to the nytimes page, you can have a look.
http://db.tt/60Am6mLl
As I hold my iPad2 with left hand to record it, I just look at the iPad screen to navigate, so my finger may not point/press accurately.
It is not 100% smooth, but shouldn't be unusuable?
I find restarting the phone seems to help if the browser becomes laggy. It's strange because sometimes it is lightning quick and other times laggy and non responsive, even on the same web pages. There is no rhyme or reason to it.
Anyone noticed with chrome that occasionally the tab becomes 'stuck' and stays blank regardless of what site (or even bookmarks) you bring up.
Workaround is easy, open a new tab, presto.
But annoying, wondering if anyone seen this and/or come up with a fix.
This happened on stock 1.28, 1.29, now ARHD 7.1 (2.05 base) so I'm pretty sure its not caused by custom ROM.

It's an issue which is addressed in the Known Issues list of Chrome for Android:
Pages are blank, distorted, or flickering on my HTC One V, HTC One X, HTC Amaze 4G, HTC Sensation XL, and Huawei MediaPad.
This is a known issue with the graphics driver on specific devices. We have reported this issue to hardware manufacturers and software vendors and are working to fix it. As a workaround, try rotating your device or refreshing the page to resolve temporary rendering issues.

Yet another reason my next phone will be a Nexus
Same here. They have implemented many good features and I love Crome user experience, but the blank pages are so anoying.
I have had it so bad that even a new tab does not resovle the issue and I am forced to use stock browse. I got all stock.
happens on my nexus 7 as well it's not just confined to the one X.
Chrome-dome
Yeah I get this issue too... It's a bugger!
Hopefully it'll get resolved one day as I use Chrome as my main browser, I like the stock browser as it's pretty nippy but can't seem to swing moving over to FF.
To fix this, you can also: Press home button, press (or hold recent apps button, bring up the recent apps screen, swipe away chrome to close it, reopen Chrome and all your pages will reload and work again.
Happens on the TF101 Asus Transformer too. Used to be all the time 1 month ago, now its only occasionally on both devices.
I can just open up a 2nd tab and move along. I don't have the issue every time but when I do get the blank tab I just open up another tab and then I can go.
So it's my first android device but this browser thing is getting on my nerves i can't even find a usable browser.
Stock: **** tab controls, substandard performance
Dolphin: three dots of death
Chrome:white screen of death
Firefox: stupid address bar thinks your search keyword is the actual URL. Passwords save doesn't work for some sites.
Do is there a browser that actually works?
I mean that's really the only problem i have with android. Apple isn't perfect obviously, but at least everything works decently. For example safari could use a some more features, but what it offers all work without problems. I just can't understand why android can't even have a decent browser.

Whats wrong with Dolphin? You can access settings from 3-dot menu, its not like the 3-dot bar is completely useless there and does absolutely nothing.

I picked up my Note 2 today at a local sprint store. They were only given 5 and once I got mine they had 2 left. This was 20 minutes after they opened.
I have a couple questions and concerns reuarding the phone that im hoping someone can help me answer.
1. Is there a way to stop the volume from decreasing whenever i plug it into my car? The volume will always go down to half and its kind of annoying.
2. When using the keyboard to type messages, if i spell a word wrong and hit space it wont autocorrect it. Is this a feature Samsung left out? Im so used to it on my evo, i feel like i have to keep looking at what im writing to make sure i dont misspell something.
3. If im in the browser and zoom in on something it wont adjust to fit the page like the HTC EVO did. Is this also something samsung didnt include?
The main concern I have with the phone is the 3g data speeds. I am coming from the original Evo 4g and although Sprint isnt known to have the greatest speeds I never had a problem downloading an application. Today it took an hour to download myfitnesspal from the play store. I tested the speeds on speedtest.net and I was getting 33kbps down and 5kbps up. My girlfriend who also has an Original EVO 4g was getting 300kbps down and 170kbps up. Still not the greatest speed but alot better than what i was getting on the Note 2. Both phones were in the same spot and the same time. I did the test a number of times and always had the same outcome.
Thanks everyone. So far I am loving this phone and both the hardware and software are great!!
Word prediction will need to be enabled in your keyboard settings

Also maybe try installing a different browser for your auto alignment issues

That is due to one of the headphone options to limit the intensity of volume so it doesn't damage your ears. You'll find the option it in the sound settings, after you disable it in won't change your volume to half anymore.

i agree with the Jellybean Keyboard!!! It should have come with it seeing as IT IS JELLYBEAN!!! I use the voice input constantly form the keyboard when I am emailing and texting, so when this phone "hid" the mic button and you have to press 3 buttons to get to it, I wasnt happy.... So I downloaded the Jellybean Keyboard and its awesome!!!I was having a fit last night with the browser when everytime I scroll, it zooms in, thought I was gonna throw up... so I switched to Google Chrome Browser.

I have a new Note 2, and I'm also new to Android, so I've been posting different things I encounter with the phone.
My experience with the keyboard is one of the things I posted, copied in here.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The default Samsung keyboard on the Galaxy Note 2 is a sleeper.
Samsung included Swiftkey Flow, which allows gesture-based typing, like Swype. The more I use it the more I like it, and it has auto-suggest and auto-correct.
The number row at the top is pretty great, too, the large screen allows it all to fit. The auto-suggestions appear above the number row.
Samsung also included the handwriting keyboard, for the S-Pen. The handwriting recognition works really well, and I'm coming up to speed with it.
The main points to remember about the keyboards are these:
- auto-suggest and auto-correct function in both tapping and handwriting modes.
- in tapping mode the transition between tapping and gesturing is seamless, but if you try to use both modes within a word a space is automatically inserted.
- in tapping mode auto-correct functions only while using gestures. If you're tapping and not gesturing you have to choose among the suggestions instead of relying on auto-correct. I'm learning the cases where it's important to me to have auto-correct do its thing, like when typing "I'm". If I type it in in tapping mode, it ends up as "Im" unless I choose the auto-suggestion with the apostrophe. It's better instead to use gesture mode for "I'm" as the auto-correct will do the right thing and use the apostrophe. As I mentioned, the transition from tapping to gesturing is seamless.
- quick-punctuation and quick-capitalization functions are missing
completely. People who don't use gestures and people who've never spent time with an IOS keyboard ( and many who have ) don't get this.
I am starting to really like this keyboard. My only real gripes are the lack of auto-correct in tapping mode and the lack of quick-capitalization and quick-punctuation, but they are mitigated by long-presses.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Someone else mentioned in the thread the Jelly Bean Keyboard, and it really is an excellent keyboard, I discovered it with my Galaxy S3 and initially installed it on the Note 2. But I'm not willing to give up the handwriting recognition, so back to the stock keyboard I went.
The stock keyboard doesn't do everything, but it has its good points.
Cheers,
-John

I also came from the Evo4G, and the auto adjust feature you speak of is a HTC Sense feature. I noticed this early on after using others phones and tablets. Although a small feature for those that have had it and lost it we all know how big of a thing it really is. Still don't know why Google hasn't implemented this within current builds of Android yet.

Apple is why. Htc will eventually have to remove it as well.

Can you explain what Apple has to do with it, references? AFAIK, HTML can be rendered any which way the (User Agent, that is) browser wants - that's the point of markup language.

Text/browser reflow after zooming(what the op is refering to on HTC phones...similar to word wrapping in excel lol) is patented by Apple. Samsung removed it from devices last year. HTC will eventually do so as well.
Its been all over the web for nearly 2 years...you are a smart guy you can find it
The only way to get it to work on samsung phones is to, after zooming in to the size that you want, you have to double tap the screen an additional time to enable text reflow.

Yup. And in a coup today Apple won a patent on page turning animations. ..

Using the Dolphin browser with Dolphin Jetpack, you get extremely fast page renderig with automatic text reflow.

Hmm, that'd contradict TechRadar.com's review [/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-note-2-1093688/review/5#articleContent]:You can have the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 reformat pages when you zoom in but it doesn't do this by default, which is slightly annoying.
In fact, you have to go into the advanced section of the settings menu to dig this little gem out, which we weren't overly impressed with having to do.
Lots of people won't be aware of this - and that could lead to a second rate experience for no reason at all.
