wifi slow / websites take ages to load or fail - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi As per above move websites are taking an age to load or do not load at all, yet my Note 4 runs perfectly on the same wifi and at the same time - I've tested both - same site and its fast, whereas the tab s isn't.
I've cleared the cache and done the usual stuff. reluctant at this point to do a factory reset as it takes so long to recover android devices.
Any quick ideas to try?
Strangely when I've run a speedtest it show similar to the phone!!!!
I'm on 5.0.1. UK wifi only T800.
thanks

What browser are you using, have you tried other`s ??
John.

Chrome beta (on both devices)... I will try another....

Well another browser didn't work. Neither did a factory reset. However deleting the device on my router and the WiFi connection on the tab 's appears to have sorted it...

Since the lollipop update of all the browsers I have tried on this device, and I have pretty much tried most of them, the stock browser is the best. Its fluid, pretty much lag free and has the best layout.

[Q] Does your stock browser force close?

I really don't know if I am at the correct forum, as I have more of an issue rather than a question...
So i got the Nexus for a week now and it was great until yesterday where the stock browser won't load some specific sites (which also happen to be on the bookmark widget on my homepage). Every time it loads up to 90% on the one site and sits there till if closes and returns you to the homescreen without any message. Every ''stuck'' website has it's one load percentage where it stucks. Other sites work fine.
I downloades dolhin HD and got the same issue while opera mini worked fine although i dont like it)
Any similar experience or solutions?
things i have tried:
1. Reboot
2. removed widget
3. Cleared browser data + cache
Strange. You running any custom ROM or all stock?
Browser has been pretty damn solid for me so far, and I use it quite a bit.

[Q] Wifi Delay - bad connection (kind of a review)

Hi @ all,
So i have been using my Note 2014 for around 3 weeks now.
Despite the lags on the device while browsing or searching in the playstore , i noticed or lets say - i get frustrated that webpages dont load. I have to refresh them several times to finally show up. The same with theplay store and any other app that requires a internet connection.
So what i want to know is, if you guys have experienced the same or if everything works good for you ?
Thanks so far...
Bottom line is that if there would be another tablet (windows or android ) with a good pen like the note has, i would have switched devices immediately i guess. For college the spen is superior than any other pen i had a look at so far. Despite that it is still a good device..
I haven't had any Wi-Fi or BT issues. I compared download speeds between my N3 and N10.1-14 using a 1GB test file and the N10.1-14 was significantly faster using the same router. There are a couple of wireless "issues" threads that point to some N10.1-14s having possible h/w issues. If you're having connection issues across multiple different routers and networks you may have a h/w problem.

I have a similar issue. While websites seem to load normally in the browser, I frequently get connection errors or time outs. For example in the Play Store it has happened several times that, after clicking on an app, the page for that app can't be loaded and al I see is a 'reload' button in the middle of the page. Clicking that loads the page quickly and I never actually disconnect from my wifi. I have also had to re initiate several app downloads as the initial download created an error. This happened mostly (if not exclusively) when I send the app through chrome on my laptop. At least one other app also has some connection issues sometimes after it gets a push notification that triggers the app to update.
I feel like the issue is when the tablet tries to send data right after or while it's receiving data.

Thats really weird. If i dont find a solution for this i will trade it in. Im currently keeping it only for the great spen feature. There is currently way too less competition for tablets with a good working active stylus (only wacom technology atm)
Similar issue here, but maybe not to the same extent as yours.
For me the most prevalent apps that have this issue is the play store and youtube. I will frequently get connection error/server error on those apps. The funny thing is I can open browser in a pen window and load any site just fine while this happens, it's the apps that refuse to load pages. So I believe my internet is fine, it's an issue with the apps. I'm gonna try factory resetting later.
Here's the Wi-Fi performance of my N10.1-14 (on the right) and N3 compared. They are connected to the same network, were tested in the same location, and tested within minutes of each other. On average, the N10.1-14 actually outperforms the N3 in signal strength. If you notice in the elapsed time chart there aren't any major dips in the connection speed which there would be if there were a signal or h/w problem.

Mind giving me the name of the app or how you ran the test ?
I just downloaded a normal download speed app. The result was really odd. While my nexus showed a speed of around 3 mbs (wtf?!!) , my note showed a speed of around 25mbs. But if i open websites or browse youtube or whatever , my nexus is always way faster...

Thanks. I dont understand it :
I ran the app.
Nexus 4 : 12mbps
Note 2014 : 121 mbps
They both use the same wifi. But still the whole internet perfomance is way slower than on the nexus .
Thanks for your answers. When the storm is gone i will go to the store and trade it in...

I am one of the guys here which didn't have any lags (And I am known to fast devices). Also with the stock browser and play store I have no issues. Everything is fast... so it must be something else which interfere here.
PS. I made a test together with my HTC one and when the Note was faster by loading pages.

Sounds like your WiFi is broken. Does your camera auto focus quickly, slowly or broken?
Download this app, run it, scroll to firmware tab and compare your bootloader to PDA version (last 3 characters).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo
Unless you're running a ported ROM, the last 3 should match to indicate you have the right match. If you mismatch, you may lose some compatibility. Like if your mismatched across Android OS versions, your WiFi won't work and your camera focus will be slow or broken.

Chrome laggy and unusable on pixel 2 xl

Title says it all. Been dealing with it since shortly after the may update or so. I have watched YouTube videos, turned data saver off, and reached out to a couple members for help. Chrome was super fast and a joy to use before. Even when I had 20 tabs open it wouldn't miss a best. Now it freezes and lags for 20+ seconds when switching tabs, pulling the app up, when I switch wifi networks, and when I do other odds and ends too.
If I turn JavaScript off it seems to be fine, but so many things use JavaScript. I can't browse without it. Firefox doesn't behave this way. I have tried collecting various matlogs and there never seems to be any issues on them.
I've also been unable to look into my discover card credit card account. When ever I login and the page loads I'm prompted with a message that says "you are logged out." It's like it's booting me immediately, and I never get into the account. This doesn't happen in my Firefox browser. I didn't use chrome on my Galaxy s4 until the very end when Firefox started ticking me off. Maybe I'll have to go back.
What are you all experiencing, and what have you done to correct this issue if you've seen it? I'm on chrome 67.0. is anyone wkas experiencing this? Is it worth trying to uninstall updates? I don't want to really use an un-upfsted version of chrome though. I just want it to work right. Google searches didn't yield much help for this issue. There are a lot of threads about it from the 2012ish era, but there isn't anything recent.
honestly, you're issue is not common. I haven't had an issue with chrome in 3 years+.
Is this the only app you're having issues with? because if not, then there is something else going on...
What I would do is: clear cache, go into Manage Space, and clear all data. Then uninstall, restart phone and reinstall.
Try Chrome Beta if your feeling up to it - it's crazy fast and use it 3+ hours a day with 10 tabs, no issues.
I have all settings in chrome pretty much stock - always have data saver on because I use a lot of data.
Also, I use Brave browser sometimes just as a backup. It's amazing cuz it's based off of chrome. But nothing works like chrome does, thats why I always keep it my default browser. Everyone used their phone differently but for me, Chrome is always consistent and fast.
yeah...maybe clearing the cache, data, and even uninstalling the updates (as you mentioned) might set things right...
This ended up being a bad, bloated host file for AdAway. I don't remmeber the name, but I think I posted it in the AdAway thread. Mods, feel free to close this one out. Thanks.
