If anyone's using jellybean already, can you comment on how smooth browsing is? Has pinch to zoom and scrolling speed/choppiness been improved?
Pinch to zoom is significantly better. Scrolling is still "choppy" as you put it. The biggest improvement is the quick controls which is under labs in settings.
I use Chrome, so the browsing experience is the same. Not sure why you would want to use anything else since you can have it sync EVERYTHING between desktop/laptop/tablet/phone/etc. and also share tabs between devices as well.
Zoom is really smooth! However, I cannot confirm the choppy scrolling. The improvements are not too large overall, but on the other hand, nothing got worse either. ^^
A major drawback for some users might be that flash support ended with 4.0.4 and will not be extended beyond that by Adobe. If you are browsing a lot of flash sites, this may of course significantly affect your browsing experience.
On the other hand, with flash being disabled once and for all, this is a great opportunity to switch to Chrome, which has just grown out of the beta phase as of this week (...coincidence?). I like the Browsing experience with Chrome much better than with the stock browser (which applies to both 4.0.4 and 4.1).

Chrome is awesome. The best feature being the convenience of sync. It should be made the default browser. I would love to see the quick controls added to chrome as well.

What new options did they add for the quick controls? Does it rival ICS+?
Also I can't use chrome till it can hide top bar, has quick controls, and has invert color option. Does chrome have those yet? Plus chrome is always choppy for me compared to stock browser.
Adobe flash player officially does not work on Chrome Browser for android 4.1 Jelly Bean... This to me is not improving browser experience even with all the other enhancements of the 4.1 browser...
Wait a second...choppy browser? The stock browsers in both ICS and JB are extremely smooth. The ICS browser introduced cached scrolling and zooming like in the iPhone, bringing iPhone like smoothness to the browser.
Runs butter smooth in both my Xperia Play ICS install and on my Galaxy Nexus, not sure what you guys are talking about.
Chrome still doesn't support this, so it can be choppy on large websites, but it's an add on browser, not stock.
Edit: I just tried the newest build of Chrome and it has been bumped up to the 60fps scrolling too using the cache tech. There's more clipping than the stock browser but it's now buttery smooth, even on complex sites using Jellybean

Chrome never supported Flash, even in ICS
I went back to AOKP Milestone 5, Chrome experience is much more fluid on that. Scrolling is perfect with Franco kernel m3. Hoping Jellybean gets there soon.

Yeah choppy. I said CHROME browser is always choppy for me, but stock browser is always smooth. Plus stock browser has more useful options I need which chrome is missing.

Guess you'll have to stick to playing Farmville in a different browser then. Also, Adobe stated that Flash is going to stop being supported for mobile devices, and will not support JB outside of early support over the next month or so.

I never used the browser or browser + on ICS because I found it convenient to use Chrome with all its syncing capabilities. With the new quick controls, I realize what is missing from chrome. The controls in JB browser are much more enhanced and as a result much more useful. They definitely rival that of the Browser +'s. Check out this video to look for yourself:

Wow that's pretty useful. My current setup has 3 rings of quick controls in the browser which takes up the whole screen when they appear. Looks very efficient and useful in JB.
Dolphin HD Pinch to Zoom Appears Broken ATM in JB
Dolphin HD pinch to zoom is currently not working in JRN84D / 4.1 (MoDaCo ROM) which paralyzes the browser usability.
I don't have a scientific testing method, but overall it feels better, more responsive, quicker. You only really notice when you jump back to an ICS ROM.

Does it have the thumb circle menu natively now? Or is it still in the 'google labs'?
Btw, does chrome have the thumb circle menu?

flash doesn't work on chrome period (atleast for me). only use to keep the stock browser around.
The homescreen is quite noticeably not a smooth 60fps, it stutters and with the overlay enabled in developer settings, can see the framerate drops alot. Especially in freestyle layout mode. Also a lot of games stutter and don't run at a smooth framerate - for example monument valley. Does anyone else get this? Im on stock rom latest update

This is completely dependent on your OS, applications, widgets on screen, running apps, cpu state and the speed you're using your device.. If its really congested and you're running a tonne of apps then you'll perhaps have some slow downs, if you're using a custom kernel and you've lowered the up cpu threshold then that will too have an impact, honestly I'd leave it on stock and minimise the amount of widgets (especially lives ones) you have on your desktops, anything with transparency will have an impact too.
Gaming wise, I have to say this phone is rock solid.
The only game that it couldn't run is dolphin which is a gamecube emulator, running zelda the windwaker.
But I think that's down to optimization rather that anything else.
What set up do you have? Custom rom? Stock? Kernel? Lots or not a lot of apps?
my runs smooth on games, emulators, home screens, videos, taking and recording pictures and video, everything. ive been very happy with its performance, completely stock and running custom roms on my Verizon Variant, viper is my favorite now after last few updates.
I'm also satisfied with my HTC 10 performance, runs smooth (everything stock), but I notice that some games are a bit laggy (like Realracing 3, even if I lower the resolution to FullHD in the Boost+ app).
I wonder if I would get better framerates with the CleanSlate kernel that has Adrenoboost feature, but I'm not to keen on rooting my device because then you can't install OTA updates anymore.
Im running on the stock rom straight from the box, no custom rom or everything
, every game I have tried so far runs awful, massive framerate drops with or without boost. I have compared my framerate in asphalt 8 to this video, with an fps counter, and I get much worse framerates, usually around low 20s, dropping to teens. I don't have powersaving enabled

Anything in HTC's ROM seems to cripple Adrenoboost of the GPU. While on other devices it works perfectly and is reaching up to 60 fps, it doesn't on the HTC 10. It doesn't bother me, as I'm not a heavy gamer, but if you're in need to change it, you could use a custom kernel, as e.g. CleanSlate by @tbalden.

I hope HTC fixes that with some OTA.
Anyway, would the High performance mode in the developer options help the framerate?

As I'm on Viper10, Stock, pnp thermal tweak, or Viper 10 and CleanSlate Kernel. So I can't tell if it would work. The CleanSlate kernel fixes the problem quite well, so I'll use it until HTC maybe fixed the issue as long as I'm gaming and the other config I'll use as my daily driver.

Do u use sd card
If yes which class, coz i noticed that it can slow the device
I hope htc support team improve the performance and fix the lag issues by updates.
This is an awful bug .May htc solve this in the android 7 update .
Slow SD card like someone else said.
Try it without one.
Maybe your hardware is faulty in some way.
Also try to set all clocks to a constant maximum. So you see if you have the power or not.
Maybe a fake device?
Everybody knows that snapchat runs like **** on OOS compared to CM and IOS.
I just tried different clockspeeds on both gpu and cpu and concluded that the Most difference is made by altering the cpu. Gpu not noticable. I have not overclocked but i really am interested in what you guys have found regarding the smoothness of snapchat.
Have you found any tweaks that makes snapchat run less laggy on OOS-based roms?
Fyi i run op3lite and Ex kernel both latest.
it lags real bad for me too. not found any tweak which reduces the lag.

Snapchat on Android is pure **** will never be on an IOS level
Thats because snapchat devs don't really care about snapchat for android, though snapchat started working fine on oos3.2.x and 3.5.x for me. ? Weird
They changed the camera blobs in the latest community build. Allowing for 1080p60fps recording and the removal of Snapchat lag.
whitch custom rom has the best gaming experience and highest fps in games?
i repeat CUSTOM ROM not stock or stock based. i hate miui and junk apps
i notice since android p introducion, it has been ported eas schedutil for cpu management, except for mokee , the fastest for me( some recent games could have better frames due to new eas)
some suggestions/experience?
well, i tried many roms but for me the best gaming rom is RR os by sbwml the first build was really really good tried fortnite with 60 fps it was smooth even sometimes my phone heats up but i don't see any much frame drops but it had some bugs like if you play a game ( landscape only) you can't drag the Statusbar which i wasn't getting annoyed to much because the performance was super good but then i the update came with fixed bugs it was awesome still the best for me, now i am on MOKEE pie but gonna flssh RR again
Pie or Oreo???

I recently upgraded to the Mate 20 X and I'm finding the scrolling performance in Chrome browser to be a very poor stuttery mess.
Try this out,
load up the chrome browser, in the address/search bar type 'brownie recipe', now slowly scroll the page up and down, hitching, stuttering, not smooth at all.
Now do the same but use the google app, buttery smooth? doesn't make sense.
Now enable performance mode in the battery settings menu and try the same in chrome browser again, buttery smooth?
I swear when these phones were sent out for review they all had the performance mode on by default.

After using Chrome for years I switched to Samsung Browser Beta and everything is smooth. It even has a dark mode and all web pages you visit are dark when dark mode is enabled. It has add-on support as well and fingerprint login for whatever websites you want. I'll never use Chrome again.
Hello, I use Chrome Dev instead of Chrome and everything is ok.

Better you use Samsung Internet Browser + Adblock
For all it's worth I have no such issues with Firefox Beta, however it is not one of the fastest Android browsers to begin with, but it is extremely configurable. Great assortment of extensions (uBlock Origin, Cookie AutoDelete, etc), bookmark synching, DNS over https, and a ton of other options under about:config

Mine is buttery smooth when doing this, the only "lag" is loading more recipes at the bottom of page, but scrolling is like cutting warm butter.
no issues on mine, but I am in performance mode all the time...
I had poor performance with Chrome too. Problems was with the Chrome beta testing which selected my Phone to go 2G-network on newspaper site.
