Hello guys, a few months back I bought a Nexus 5x 32gb, since then I have switched back to my OPO a few times because of lag... Now I wanted to fix the the lag and wiped the cach partition. Apps are opening faster, even faster then the OPO! But webbrowsing is SLOW it takes about 20+ seconds to load cnn for example... I have treid differend browsers. Web browising is fluid on the OPO on the same wifi. Can anybody help me?

I don't visit CNN so I'll have to take your word on it, it have you updated your 5X to the March OTA, MHC19J? For me, Web browsing hasn't ever been a problem using Chrome Beta or Chrome Dev. I use ad blocking which enhances my experience though.

Went to another house, another wifi, works fine there... should have tested that before posting here ... Weird thing is that my dad's phone (moto style) works fine on the same wifi, will have to call "the internet guys" for that thanks !
It was pretty bad for me as well prior to the MHC19J update. Chrome has been noticeably more fluid since then.

I installed Dolphin Browser on my phone a few days ago because I love the browser but I noticed my data went up a lot quicker than it ever has. Luckily I have Unlimited data but it's currently at 11GB. Dolphin Browser used 7.34GB while in the Background which is odd. I noticed the problem when I would leave my phone on over night at 70% and wake up to a very low battery or a dead phone.
It's the best browser I've ever used but I don't know what would cause Dolphin to use that much data. Any ideas?

Why not just use the stock browser? Or at least Chrome? I haven't used Dolphin since the Moto Cliq lol. It's definitely not one of the better browsers, especially on the note 2.

I seem to remember Dolphin doing the same things on my Vibrant and haven't bothered with it since. Definitely try another browser. The others don't have that problem.
It's definitely a hog, but I can't do without it. I keep it frozen (along with most of my apps) when not using it.
Because it has all the add on capability so it's constantly on to search for update and stuff

7 GB on background, lol. You definitely have a virus sending network attacks or you leave videos buffering in the background. Is one or the other no buts.

Its not a virus.. Well unless you consider The Browser itself a virus.Its not but it does come close.Look at the permissions on dolphin browser. I once seen a article how it pushes adds to the browser in the back ground and Makes clicks on your behalf to pay the developer money .
I have not tried using it in a Long time like many above its definitely malware.
Just my thoughts
any phone I've ever had has ran like crap the day after I installed dolphin so I agree also with above its may have been good once but now it's just a system slower and I guess a data killer too so hey Dolphin browser is a double threat

For it to use 7gb on background is had to do a lot more than push ads. Anyway i used Dolphin on every phone and never had a problem.
i dont mean to bump an old thread, but i have just found this out today, i have adblock plus and have been using dolphin when not on wifi for the last 2 days, i have been letting the device sleep with it running in the background and i have checked today and have used my data for this month aswell as gone over $7, 250mb and 160mb today,
i dont know what it has been doing while its asleep, today i checked and it was at 160mb remaining then 1 hour later i got a message about nearly going over my cap 10mb remaining then when i checked it had gone past that.
its definitely spyware because why else would it be doing while idling no webpages open, i dont use its addons just stock without its ux improvement program, no dolphin connect either, i didnt block its privileges via pdroid unfortunately
if you read their privacy policy it could of drained it through, update service and push notifications as well as the other ones listed below,
dolphin engine beta, may use the information without your permission, if you disagree please do not use the application
i do use other browsers without issues opera,stock, i just wished i saw this thread earlier, time to remove it
other than the security flaw 2 years back there must be something else its sending back to its server

I use boat browser and no issues. Dolphin always gave me issues so I left it and never looked back.
It's definitely also my favorite browser !
Why?
- fast
- displays Facebook very nice
- javascripting, html5 works
- youtube works fine
- handy settings sync
I'm using Maxthon also, which might compete.
I've tried others such as Boat but it didn't suit me.
Pitty Opera has become so bad in displaying webpages.
So I discovered the same problem here via data usage app.
IMO it's facebook that's connecting all the time?
They only way is to shut down the browser every time?
Came across this thread doing a google search for other people noticing battery drain with Dolphin.
I've never noticed any unusual data usage, but I wonder if that's related to automatic updating. I have my phone and tablet set to only update when on WiFi and I'm on WiFi quite often.
I have recently noticed a ton of battery drain though, especially on the tablet. Took me awhile to figure out which app(s) might be responsible, but I found that when issuing a Force Stop after finishing with Dolphin, my battery tends to level off. Once I exit the browser, its not listed as running in the app killer that I have, but from the App manager the Force Stop option is available, so I guess its still running after all.
Attached is a photo showing normal battery levels to the left, then the sudden battery drain next to it. Then the battery charging and continued excessive drain once unplugged, followed by the battery leveling off when killing everything I found running in the OS (not specifically Dolphin by itself). After this though, I routinely FS Dolphin after using it and the battery's been behaving much more normally.
Its a pain, but it just runs so much better than other browsers I've used..
Using "Greenify app" maybe helps. ..

So I finally jumped the gun and bought a UK LG G3 from Carphone Warehouse. I have to say I am very impressed with the phone and I am coming from SGS 4.
Three issues that I have encountered and was hoping someone can help -
1) Connecting to Wifi access point sometimes takes ages. Especially the first time. It goes from "connecting" to "saved" to "connecting". This was never an issue with my previous phone.
2) Gmail - Takes ages to open some emails. When I click on an email, it goes to the email screen but the screen is blank and it takes 15-20 seconds or more to bring the content. Again, I did a like for like comparison with my previous phone and there definitely seems to be an issue which I have not seen before.
3)Chrome - Sometimes chrome is very very slow in opening pages which open very fast on my previous phone. I am getting a lot of "webpage cannot be found".
Any help or insight into this would be great.
Cheers,
Vish
Seems you are having WiFi issues...

I thought this was a wifi issue too but I am having similar issues when using 4G data. Also, I tried speedtest and I was getting over 100MBps speed so internet speed on wifi was fine.
I thought maybe the issue is with CPU not coping sue to the QHD screen and was wondering if others had similar issues.

I have tried clearing the gmail cache and that seems to have made some difference. I will keep an eye.
I have also switched to Dolphin browser and that is so much faster.
Thanks

Stock browser is good as well
Hi all, I have a problem with Chrome. I'm using galaxy s5 and whenever I open the browser for the first time I get the message: Unable to access the network, but once I refresh the page it loads everything as it should. How do I fix it without having to constantly keep chrome in the RAM. Thanks

Hi all,
Just got my Note 2014 (SM-P600) a few days ago. Loving it so far.
One issue I have is with the Chrome browser. For a split second after switching tabs all of the site text and images are blurry.
Can any other users confirm if this is normal behavior?
Thanks,
Bailes
I have the same here. I think it is normal.

All,
Have any of you new G4 owners been experiencing ridiculously slow page loading times with the stock browser? My old GS3 loads web pages much faster in Chrome by comparison, as does my work iPhone. What gives?!
Thanks in advance!
Same here. With stock chrome it's lagging when i watch a movie on website.

Have you tried a different version of chrome like the beta, or my favorite right now, Chrome Dev?
I haven't tried any other versions of chrome...did notice that I wasn't even able to load a page at all while photos were uploading, wonder it has to do more with how it's handling data traffic.

I've noticed it also happens when using the "in app" browsers in Facebook or Twitter. I've also tried increasing the memory available to chrome using by typing in by changing maximum tiles for interest area to 512 to no avail.
I'm beginning to think this may be a wifi connection issue, even tho my wifi tests faster than the 4G connection. Pages are loading much more quickly over 4G.
Yes i think this is wifi related also... Same happens to me but only on wifi

It just seems to have problems loading web pages for me. Sometimes I will just get black squares but other times it just wont load. I will refresh and get nothing for awhile. I'm doing this at home where my Note 4 wasn't having a problem. Also doing this on cellular data. I doubt this is a network issue.

I did try chrome beta and Opera mini- opera was faster due to the data compression, but chrome beta was just as slow to load.

Root-Adaway problem solved tolpic closed xD
I've noticed insanely slow loading times using IPv6 over WiFi with some Comcast modems, so I rooted and disabled v6. Dunno if you guys are having the same issue, but it fixed my problems. Apps like Instagram were slow to load/refresh as well, though.

yup had this issue on my note 3, only improved on disabling adaway. so far its not occurred on my g4 using adaway so not even sure what triggers it.
I've had the OP3 for about a week now. Every application I use seems to be very hiccupy on this phone. I'm only using basic apps like music, facebook, email, and Tapatalk. Wifi seems to take longer than LTE to load stuff or sometimes it just fails to load period. There was sometimes when even trying to change the settings wouldn't work. But then when it does work it's great. I just got the update to 3.2.1 but still seems a little uneasy to me. I would say Roms off of XDA that I've had on past phones have been more stable than this.
Anyone else?
