Is this only with Fb or any other webpages ?
I have the same issue on the other sites but i think only where are pictures... but on fb lag is bigger.
P.s. i have that lag on tapatalk, too... on the page where are topics with pics of users.
Is there some app to record that lagging?

zScreenrecoder lets you record your screen .
You can't record the lags perfectly. And does any other browser lag? Like Boat or stock browser? Because browsers that are supposed to save bandwidths - ie UC/Opera are a bit choppy on any phones, IIRC.
I tried stock browser now and it doesnt lags. So i suppose that problem is the apps?
Stock browser and chrome are better than UC browser but they don't have a home and exit button. That's the only reason why I'm using UC.

Try Boat Browser then? I'm using that at the moment. And does have exit/tab restore and the whole jazz. Can vouch for the smoothness. I guess it's how the apps are, yes. At least with UC/Opera.

I pmed intronauta from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197496 to mod it for our Epic Touch. He sent me this file and instructions. This is for deodexed roms only. Can someone try it and see if this works? I have an odexed rom at this time and didn't want to goto deodexed rom yet since mine is running fine. He said he can make an odex version though.
You must rename /system/app/Browser.apk->Browser.apk.bak and Browser.odex->Browser.odex.bak , put the deodexed version in /system/app and reboot. If it fails and there is a FC, delete data app, wipe dalvik-cache, check permissions in the apk (same as others in the path).
If doesn't work, delete deodexed version and revert the original name for Browser.apk-odex.
Edit: He pmed me back and said it should work on odexed roms also. I tried it and it works. I have the option to choose between Android or Desktop in the settings menu and it sticks after closing the browser.
Have you notified any of the dev's?

I use Opera mobile but the stock browser is faster and smoother than any 3rd party browser I've used including Dolphin. Opera is better than Dolphin imo because it doesn't jump back to the top left of the page when hitting the back button.

I use Dolphin, and have been since my OG Epic. Interestingly, and I've seen this reported elsewhere, on some sites even though I have the user agent set to desktop I still get the mobile version. Engadget for one does this. Not sure why.
Thanks nobrakes. I've been waiting for this since I bought my E4GT.
IMO, people should be hitting the thanks button....instead of posting "Stock browser sucks". Lol

I notice this also with sites that have mobile versions. With Opera it goes to the desktop site though if set to desktop.

I tried this. I now have an option under settings for ua android/desktop but sites still load in mobile. I tried going to about:useragent and the setting still won't stick to anything but custom.
This is the original thread of the BrowserMod for International I9100.

In first post is the source code (diff & files). The xml and smalis related are the same in both systems. Just compare files and build yourself.

Yep. Doesn't stick.
I see what you mean by doesn't stick. I tried going on certain sites and it still went to mobile version. I've been using Opera mobile for a while and didn't run into this issue. I just like how smooth and fast the stock browser is.

can't remember the last time I used Flash in a mobile browser.... well over a year now since I've done it.
How do you not use flash?? I'm sure you have been to sites and there was a video box just empty. I can't stand that. I love watching videos on my phone.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
The only reason why I haven't disabled it is because I use the scrolling bookmark widget.
I've watched loads of videos with the chrome browser. I'm not sure flash is that wide spread any more...

It really isn't lol. Any website dev that's worth anything has already transitioned away from Flash to make their site iPhone/iPad friendly.
Lol... Awkward, when so many people think flash is one of the biggest reasons to choose Android over UPS devices, when really there are much better reasons than an antiquated web standard... Seriously, I hate flash. Generally have it disabled on Android anyway.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Yeah, I haven't used flash since I got my phone (3 months). However, I do keep the stock browser enabled because I like the "request desktop site" option. It's useful for the sites where you lose functionality for being on a mobile site (amazon is a good example).
Just my .02
I've disabled the stock browser, no side effects, only thing I miss is the desktop view, and keep forgetting chrome doesn't have that yet..hoping future updates will rectify this

This and full screen + quick controls. I think it'll be hard to implement though because they're using a swipe in from the side for switching between tabs... We'll see how they do that.
Chrome is gonna be the wave of the future on Android so we better get used to it
maybe I'm the only one having this issue... does anyone else have an insanely difficult time getting chrome to copy or cut and paste effectively? I seem to have to share the page in Gmail, copy the link from the Gmail app, then paste it where I want it. If I try to just copy from chrome when I go to paste it somewhere, the paste dialog comes up, but nothing will paste. This has happened to me on multiple ROMs. Any ideas?

The whole flash vs. No-flash is insanely funny.
People will argue that iOS devices suck because they don't have flash (not true) but when a Google browser for their Android device comes out without flash support, it no big deal!
Even look at the Firefox mobile reviews... It is mostly negative reviews because of the lack of flash, but then you read the Chrome for Android reviews and it's all 5 stars and the comment that flash isn't important.
Big LOL. Personally, I use flash all day. Many sites I visit use flash and there is no way around it. My local newspaper is flash; restaurant menus are often flash; many product review sites still use flash and flash games - well... They are obviously flash.
To each, his own... But don't be content with having less features!

Try chrome beta, works well for me
I am seeing the same thing here. Hopefully Google will be pushing out an update for Chrome to fix this soon.
As shmaque said, disabling JavaScript in Chrome also stopped this from being a problem for me. Of course that may become a problem of its own when browsing the internet these days. So far so good.
Well, as expected, I ran into some trouble logging in to a couple websites with JavaScript disabled, so I have re-enabled it. The problems that a number of us were seeing were limited to xda-developers.com as noted at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380099.
Changing the default XDA site layout (located at the bottom of every XDA page) to 2010 has fixed the issue for some of us. Credit goes to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44038082&postcount=17 for bringing the idea to my attention.
When I had ICS on my HTC Vivd, I had a bad experience with Firefox, then I tried Dolphin browser.
Has anyone used either yet ? Hows that working out for you?

I use Firefox specifically for a couple of sites that don't allow me to save usernames and passwords. There is an add-on that you can install that forces it to remember passwords, even if the site is configured not to. My experience has been really good with Firefox, but I only use it for limited reasons. I use Chrome as my daily driver for normal web surfing.
I used to love Dolphin, but constant force-closes made me switch back to Chrome. Good browser, although right now I'm having a strange issue where occasionally Chrome completely locks up when on the XDA website after loading a page-- I have to clear it from memory and reopen it for it to work.
I downloaded Firefox. Refreshed RAM is same as before.
With that the option to Sync all my bookmarks from my Macbook, I removed Chrome and the Stock browser and am using FF with Adblock exclusively.
Not only that it was a ram hog. It makes the device raises temperature than normal. My fave is Boat.

I also have a huge problem with this on new Nexus 7. Dolphin Browser was locking up also until i unchecked flash in settings. I installed firefox just to get around this issue. I am new Android user and cant believe that the Chrome browser, built by Google canyt navigate this site.
I actually went back to my Ipad to see and had no problems navigating XDA. Then again Ipad does not have flash.

Hi, I have the latest Samsung Browser aviable for my A5 2017.
The scrolling is smooth everywgere except facebook mobile, where it gets choppy and very laggy, everywgere it is working smooth.
Any solution?
It also doesn't happen always, there must be something that triggers it.
I think it's because of Facebook not the browser. Happens to all my devices in any browser.

It may be caused due to insufficient RAM. I recommend using apps from GPlay store : Facebook or Facebook Lite .
