I had issues with my browser loading pages with a delay but since I installed RomToolBox and used its ad blocker my browser has been performing great also no more "page not found" issues. Just thought I'd share this

Did this help anyone?

I think it might have helped me. Either way, I forgot to do this to this particular phone, so I appreciate the reminder.
Also hadn't heard of RomToolBox Lite :good:

It happens a lot on the xda app, and noticing it alot on instagram. I see no data activity for 10 seconds then it will animate and data will load whatever im browsing. Dont use facebook or twitter. Infact I never used instagram till yesterday and its doing same thing as xda, which is what I browse with the most. I thought it was just the xda site but I guess not. My wife hasnt noticed it in hers but i will be trying her phone out now that I know its the phone.
Surprised I havent found other complaing. Maybe I need to swap this thing out

No issues like that on mine. Data seems to always be smooth.

Sounds like a hardware issue. My iPhone 4S had this issue and my replacement was perfect.
Iam gettting that on xda too. I am using dagr8 rom.

I noticed it yesterday too on the XDA app. Everything else is smooth except for the app. I had to use the browser instead
She had the data freezes on the xda app today but she also said her Facebook app does it too

I've noticed this as well. I'm running cleanrom. Noticed it heavily but sporadically on XDA can't remember it happening on Facebook or anything else.

Is there any apps that can run a ping test or something so I dont keep eating up massive amounts of data testing this thing when im having outages

Try fing

*#*#4636#*#* will get you a ping test - choose "Info," then "Device information," which is actually telephone information. You can also get an app "Hidden Menus" from the Market which will save you the effort of keying all that in
*#0*# works to get into the Service Menu to test the rest of the phone out.
I am wondering if it's a modem issue. Any ideas if we have any other modems and can we flash modems from the first Note? I saw dagr8's thread on modems but no Att modems available to download. They are all bad links. I think they were having issues with them. I also saw someone posted a newer modem but it needs to be packaged in a zip.

I need multi view so I can watch and run ping the same time as browsing. I have to switch over to pinging app when I see no activity and buy the time I switch over its pinging away. It stops pinging when I am switched over on another app
It drives me insane when I'm using the device one-handed and trigger this "feature" when I scroll near the edge of the screen...
Same here especially when trying to bring up the quick controls.
Same here on international version

There seems to be no option. The browser itself is one of the best stock browsers I've ever used. But I want to punch sammy in the throat at times for not allowing that to be turned off.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I agree I would also like it to be disabled. The other big annoyance in the stock browser is the double tap to zoom doesn't work (over zooms every time - naturally you have to be in desktop view to see this). There is a setting to alter it but it doesn't help. Firefox works correctly but I end up using the stock browser most of the time and just pinching.
I no longer have this problem. I was stock AT&T, then rooted, then running International ROM with a stock browser that doesn't have the edge zooming. Yes, it did annoy me when I had it.
Wow! You're right! I also changed to a different rom a while back but kind of forgot about the problem. I thought I was being more careful I guess. No! I forgot only because the problem was gone and didn't notice! Yet another reason to get off stock! Great info, big :Thumbup:

No movement on this topic I guess. This feature drives me nuts as well but I don't want to go to a different rom to resolve it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Well you can also use a different browser - plenty of choices out there...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
This actually occurs on the stock browser as well as other third party browsers...

Yep happy to say that the latest 4.1.2 update removed this annoying behavior.
Indeed. I guess they realized it was more of a pain.

Pretty shocked, all of a sudden a million ads on most websites I go to.
I have been using adaway, and before that used to use adfree, but found adaway did a better job. Anyways, it was working bulletproof perfect until this weekend. Going to Chicago Tribune news site, and some tech forums, and ads were back. Top of screen banner, bottom of screen, floating ads. Ugh
I try to update adaway today, it said something strange, never seen before, something about my APN settings in mobile network. "APN Proxy Set", won't enable adaway fully. WTF is that ?

Try the airpush detector app from the play store. More than likely an app you download is causing it. Hope this helps

Anyone uses one browser have an issue with seeing some menu options? Everything is always blank for me. Is there anyway to fix this myself or is it the developers issue to fix?
Also anyone recommend any browsers? I used to use dolphin which was the best ever but lately its only been getting worse. All I need is a browser that kind of has the "speed dial" options of dolphin (a start up screen with links to bookmarked pages).

Or if you're using an Android version above Gingerbread, you can use Chrome for Android

Speed dial plus speed is UC Browser (English version), but I doubt you won't like it. As for me I use UC when I download things (multithread acceleration) but use Jellybean's default browser for else.

I haven't tried opera yet. And chrome isn't exactly what I'm looking for but I could give it a try. And ill try uc too. Thanks for ur replies.

I'm using opera on 4.2.2. Maybe you have a DPI conflict with the play store. Flash works sometimes on opera, but is getting progressively jankier as time goes by.

Nope, that's a history issue for UC 7.x, they need a plugin. UC 8 natively support as I've read somewhere.

Ya I've changed the dpi ofmy phone. I guess ill just stick with one browser for now its only problem is the menu options don't show but other than that it works fine.

Like the title says, when tapping on a goo.gl/ link, chrome says web page not available. Is there a setting in Chrome to fix this? It worked before the jelly bean update.

I have same problem with Twitter and other apps. I thought it it was the Imperiam initiative agent mod but I realized it works when I choose Browser but not Chrome. But some apps that have there own built in browser don't work either. So I don't know...

I just noticed this a couple days ago. I was figuring it was something to do with the hosts file I'm using for ad-blocking, but haven't gotten around to messing with it yet.
Is there a fix for this I'm unaware of? It is becoming extremely annoying. Are not more people having this issue?

I'm still looking for something. I have the stock browser disabled so using that isn't an option. Not sure why chrome can't handle these links

Nothing for this yet? How is everyone else viewing the shortened links given on this site or anywhere else with chrome on their mobile device?

Did anyone ever figure out how to fix this? I've tried like 4 different browsers.

The shortened links work in the stock browser but it. Have disable that to use Chrome only.
