Webpage in Browser getting clipped on left - LG G8 Questions & Answers

I am using T-Mobile LG G8. Software Version G820TM10i
The web pages on my browser (both chrome and firefox) are getting clipped on the left side, maybe about 3-4 mm.
Did anybody else notice it? Is there a workaround for it?
The apps seem to be fine. only browser is affected.
Thanks
Rajesh

I noticed it with some sites. Brave browser seems okay for me. Plus it stops ads and sort of hides advertisements.

You are right it was actually a website issue. only cnbc.com gets clipped. Other sites are OK.

Issues with Latest Chrome Beta

Hi All,
I received the latest update for the Chrome Beta on my GNexus, and it now seems to have a big issue with the wikipedia mobile site.
If you got to a page that has a table at the top, for instance:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/Helium
If you then try to scroll the page, it refuses to move the page unless you touch the screen outside of the top table.
I have submitted a bug report to Google, but I was wondering if anyone else had found the same issue?
yup I see what you mean, it's happening on mine too....I needed to touch on the tables edge or outside it that is in order to scroll the page
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Same here. It has happened to me only with wikipedia mobile site. Everything's going great with other sites until now...
Same for me, only on facebook though

How did you get the latest update? I don't think I got mine, and it's not showing up as needing to update on the Play Market.
I have version 18.01025.133

You probably got auto-updated. 18.0.1025.133 is the latest when looking in the "about Chrome" tab in the settings menu.
Ah, thanks.
And I too notice this issue with Wiki. The heck...
Mine as well. Much slower load times as well. Very disappointing update.
I have an issue more with the loading of pages. Before, if I scrolled down, it would already have the entire page loaded. Now, if I scroll down, I tend to get a teal colored bottom half covering whatever parts of the page weren't visible, as if it's loading the page as I scroll.
i cant even get my latest google chrome to load, i keep getting force closes right as i open it.
Not work with low dpi, you need to set 240 dpi. Hope an update coming soon for low dpi :-(
i thought i was the only on with this problem
Google chrome .16. It works fine. There is a kink in the latest chrome and aokp and cm9 roms

Yw.
Thanks if I helped

Its disappointing chrome takes a good 5 seconds or so to load when you first start it up.
this is fixed now (by wikipedia).
edit: but the redirection to wikipedia's mobile site (en.m.wikipedial) is buggy now ...
edit2: cleared my cache (for the first time) and the problem is gone.

[Q] Weird picture scaling in Chrome?

Hi all,
I got my Verizon HTC one a few days ago and noticed something weird that happens most often when browsing reddit. Any time I click on a link hosted at i.imgur.com the pictures are incredibly small in the too left corner. The attached file is an example.
Is this a chrome issue, HTC one issue, or both?
Chrome bug. It's fixed in the latest Chrome Beta.
Honestly, though, I would stick with the stock browser. It doesn't drain the battery as much since it's optimized specifically for the One, and it's a heck of a lot smoother.
I was going to ask that. I know chrome is stock on some phones, but everytime I try it, I go back to stock browser because chrome still isn't great on mobile. On samsung's browser, you even get your desktop chrome bookmarks so not much reason to use Chrome mobile.

[Q] Is anyone else experiencing Dolphin Browser locking up on Note 3?

Hey guys and gals,
I love Dolphin Browser and have been using it since I entered the world of Android with an S3 and then a Note 2. I switched to a Note 3 a few weeks ago and I've been having really strange issues with Dolphin. It's getting to the point where it's unusable. I've wiped cached, uninstalled, reinstalled, updated to latest Flash apk, so I've done all the troubleshooting I can think of. I'm hoping someone can help or at least tell me I'm not the only one experiencing this.
When I open Dolphin, I can click through one or two links. I don't know exactly what causes this, but soon after, I press a link and the browser freezes. I can open new tabs and zoom in an out of the tabs that are currently open, but the status bar does nothing, I cannot interact with any links/images/anything on the loaded pages, and nothing else loads. I have to close the app and wait at least 15 min, or wipe the cache and open the app again. Same thing happens every time.
It's extremely weird and very annoying. I love the app but will have to switch if I cannot fix this issue.
Has anyone else been experiencing this? Do you know how to fix it?

Great, hope to see it fixed soon. Since I can guess you're a Dolphin user, what secondary browser do you recommend/think is the best? I love how Dolphin renders webpages and haven't found another that does quite as well (IMO).

I switch between Chrome and Stock depending on what i'm doing. Both have benefits
I use naked browser pro, aosp browser and chrome. Those are my favorites in that order.

I use Dolphin and I'm not seeing exactly what you are but it the browser is getting progressively annoying. What I'm seeing are pages taking forever to load. I click a link, the screen goes white...wait...wait....wait....get tired of waiting so I push 'stop' and then the page displays immediately. It's like it wants to pre-load the entire page before it shows anything at all, then it all comes up at once. Dolphin on my N4 recently developed this same behavior. If they don't get their stuff together I'll be ditching it.
My favorite browser by far and wide is Firefox. I used to use Dolphin before FF Mobile was stable enough for full time use but these days FF wipes the floor with Dolphin in terms of features. Firefox has an extensive addon collection for adblock, useragent switching, full screen, etc. plus it supports Flash Player and html5 videos perfectly. If you're not happy with stock and Chrome definitely try Firefox!

You can send a detailed report in Dolphin Settings > Help > Send Feedback > Not responding.

Chrome sucks on this tablet

I always felt Web browsing was too sluggish on my T800. It even felt felt like pages would take a long time to load... as if my internet was slow.
I saw in another thread someone mentioned that the stock browser performed better for them, so I gave it a shot. Man, what a difference. It is VERY noticeably more responsive. Smooth scrolling, pages load faster (though I still feel not fast enough... no idea why).
Why does chrome perform so poorly on this tablet? Or is it that the stock browser is just that much better?
I wish I could import my browsing history, bookmarks, etc from chrome. Main reason why I used it.
Anyone else noticed how bad chrome runs on this tablet?

I'm just as disappointed as you especially when chrome is a Google product. Lately I've been using Opera for tablet and it's much better then all of the other ones. There are some minor bugs but nothing i can't live with.
It is rather slow on this tablet.
The thing the stock browser does best is embedded videos. It is almost at PC level performance. In Chrome or Dolphin forget having a positive experience. In Dolphin videos take 10 seconds to load then constantly buffer.

I installed it after reafing the Play Store reviews yesterday where people claimed that it improved their experience immensely, but im currently using Chrome Beta and only switched to it from the stock browser at that time so I cannot say really if it is an improvement for me or not. So far so good though. Maybe some regular chrome users can give it a try and report back.

Hmmm. I'm running Chrome Beta as well and I guess it seems to load pages faster. The way that Chrome does bookmarks continues to annoy. 3 clicks. Every time I want to access a bookmark it takes 3 clicks, menu, bookmarks, bookmark. Could Google literally make it any harder? Neater Bookmarks which works so well on Chrome desktop isn't available on Android. Also I can't even add a new bookmark to my desktop bookmarks from my tablet. And in Kit Kat Google removed the ability to sync the stock browser with Chrome bookmarks. No worries, want to just import your bookmarks into the stock browser? Sorry you can't do that now either. It's as if instead of fixing Chrome they are trying to force us into using it by breaking everything else.
How about a bookmarks sidebar Google? I mean would it KILL you?
Don't you just hate it when that nifty software "upgrade" breaks all of your favorite features?
Chrome keeps your browser history in sync on all devices, so no need for bookmarks, manual syncing, whatsoever.

That is if you want to use Chrome. Before KitKat you could sync Chrome bookmarks with the stock browser. No more. Also you cannot add a bookmark to your desktop synced Chrome bookmarks. Try it. You can't. So so lame.
Just tested. Samsung tablet hack doesn't make stock Chrome any faster. Does seem to speed up Beta a bit. Considering all of the other hassles Chrome browser delivers almost not worth it.

Stock browser is still superior to Chrome Beta even with hack.

Does this work with Chrome Beta?
Atlas browser. I'm in love witth it right now. For me, it the fastest browser on this device. It's In beta right now. It also uses the L Preview interface. Check it out.
glad i read this thread to find the Samsung Chrome app so thanks for posting that.
i tend to ignore threads from the start that contain words like "suck" or "stupid" as they tend to be childish rant threads

Atlas shows promise but a couple things make it not yet competitive with the stock browser:
1) It needs a dedicated bookmarks button on the menubar. As far as I can tell you have to click menu then bookmarks and then your bookmark. 3 steps just like Chrome. I could have missed the dedicated button if there is one.
2) The bookmarks tree collapses every time you select a bookmark. It should reopen to the last folder you had open so you don't have to drill down each time.
3) Doesn't seem to play embedded videos yet. It will play them on the YouTube website but could not get them to launch in other websites.
4) It is a little slower to load Web pages with Javascript enabled than stock browser IMHO.
Nice start but not a stock replacement yet.

also since i use a Note 3, Laptop/Desktop , Tab S, Tab Pro, etc.,. and cant live without my bookmarks all being there i have to ask how you guys not using Chrome deal with this issue?

I don't sync my pc bookmarks with my mobile devices. My activities on the pc, financial transactions, paying bills, etc I don't typically use on my mobile devices. (I travel every week so my pc doesn't get much other use) The few that I use on both (XDA) I just save on one device then it syncs with the rest.

As far as I can tell the only browser which allows for complete unlimited bookmarking across all platforms is Maxthon. They have a nice desktop browser and seamlessly syncs over the cloud with your Android Maxthon. Also easy to import bookmarks from other platforms. The ONLY thing that makes me nuts about Maxthon is that every time you choose a new bookmark from your bookmark tree it opens it in a new tab so you end up with 80 tabs open. There is no way to turn this off and no reason for it. It is like they created the perfect browser then left one insanely stupid thing right in the middle of it, like a supermodel with broccoli in her teeth. Tons of people complain about this on their message boards but they never change it. For some reason THEY think it's a good idea. It's not.
Anyway for multiplatform bookmark syncing and fast browsing you can't beat Maxthon - just that one damned stupid "feature" makes it just a little less that perfect.
If you try this use the Fast version, not the Tablet version. Embedded videos are super fast using this.
UPDATE. Damn this latest version of Maxthon BLAZES.

Help with Internet browsing Tab S 10.5

I am looking for help with my SM-T800 and Web browsing in particular.
The problem is that it is slow and stutters when moving up and down a page. I find it outstanding that a tablet as new as this can be this bad. I have tried the stock, chrome, dolphin and UC browsers and out of all of them UC is the better one but still in my view really bad.
I'm on 4.4.2 with no OTA when I check for an update(I'm in the UK) so I guess the only option is to update through Odin but I want to see if this can be sorted out first.
I have disabled most of the stuff that I don't use and can without rooting it. I have tried a compleat wipe but still no better. I also have a Note 4 so I know about TW slowing things down but this is ridiculous.
Any help would be great and by the way I'm more used to using an ipad air 2
I have the same T800 and am in the UK, running stock 4.4.2 same as you, I use the built in chrome and it seems smooth as silk, what pages are you browing are they full of flash or photo.
Chrome has an data saver, it compresses the data to make it smaller so you use less, it keep it on, but you can turn it off, in the settings.
edit: just tried browing ebay for all the photo`s no problems at all scrolling up and down a massive page.

Well this is one of the sites that it bad along with android central. Chrome was probably the worst of the browsers. I have even tried AdBlock Plus.
Ok, I tried Android Central, it is stuttery while the page is loading, but once that is done it scrolls fine, do you have a slow connection and you are scrolling while the page is loading, i dont have any addblock on at all.
EDIT: I tried it in desktop mode and Android Central is very choppy and the pages take forever to load, I am going to give Dolphin browser a go.

I have around 150mbps so Internet speed is not a problem. Even if I wait for the page to load it stutters and jumps, very inconsistent scrolling. Even my old Surface 2 which is Windows RT blows it into the weeds for both speed and smoothness.
Ok, I never liked browsing the net on a tablet, i prefer using a notebook with a mouse, so maybe i am putting up with a lot of problems, pages do take longer to load on a tablet.
Have a look at a few Sam Tab S review video`s on youtube and see if they notice a problem. while using the browser.

I will have another look but for me the tab s is unusable.
Android Central is more of a problem than the S 10.5 browsers. That site loads slow with IE on my PC. TOO MANY ADS and it really is hosed up on a tablet as the text isn't formatted very well for a tablet. I can't even login because the menu uption for the store overlays the menu item for login!
Someone there needs to clean it up. You would figure they would want to attract the smart phone and tablet users. It's not going to happen with a mess like they have there.

Yeah I noticed even on my ipad air 2 that android central loads the page really slow as I'm scrolling up and down the page. To log into there I had to tap on the reply to a thread so that it would redirect me to the login.

You should try to update to Lollipop via odin since this bug has been mostly fixed. Even XDA was a nightmare for me on KK but now it is smoother
Dag, if you want to put a browser to the test load that review page tinderbox put up a link to! I waited almost 4 minutes for it to load in IE 11!
It is the ads and stupid massive signatures that cause the scrolling issue. Ad blockers help here.
This site is terrible for it. I've used all the browsers and stock deals with it the best.
Turning off java script helps also, but then you can't log in. :sly:
Use the free xda app and things are much better. Use the premium and there's no ads and no lag at all.
If you are are experiencing issues with Google's Chrome browser try this.
Chrome Samsung support library
I will echo quite a few of the reviews and info I found online about it. I don't know what it is or what it does but it makes chrome perform much much smoother. Pages load faster, videos play quicker, more types of videos play, and overall the smoothness of browsing with chrome improves. Try it out, since it is an official google app it should not harm your tablet and it helped me.

It stopped my AdBlock after I downloaded it.
Good to know, I only use the plugin version of ad block in firefox and I only blacklist sites that do auto redirecting ads so I didn't know it could pr would do that.
Well as an update to this thread I went into a Samsung centre today and asked but I also tried one they had there and wow it was the same. They looked at mine and said that it was normal.
How this thing can be normal is beyond me, it only came out last year and it is like using something from 4 or 5 years ago. I couldn't use this thing as a tablet, okay I can get past how uncomfortable it is to hold because of the small bezels but the lag is sh!t. Surly to god I shouldn't have to move my finger 1-1.5 inches before the page starts to move.
Also things like the YouTube app, it keeps stopping the video with a "network error" message.
My other tablets are an ipad air 2, Surface 3 and a Surface 3 pro and my wife has a Surface 2 and they areally all smoother than this.

Might just be my next purchase. I'm kinda done with Android as a whole. Not one device I have that runs Android can come close to a Windows machine for usability. But I think I'm expecting too much so I'm not upset about it. I'll just use it for a bit longer and see what develops....

I'm the same I think. I just wanted an android tablet because I have a Note 4 and I will probably be getting the Note 5 when it comes out. My iPhone 6 is okay for private use but limited for work.
I'm not sure if I should get another android tablet or not but one thing for sure is that I won't be keeping this stuttering lagging thing.
It does look like a network problem with YouTube but I don't have any issues with it on any of my other devices. I never get lower than 130mbps and I have kept an eye on my WiFi signal and it never drops but not sure if it would show if it was a quick drop.

I'm not sure if I should get another android tablet or not but one thing for sure is that I won't be keeping this stuttering lagging thing.
It does look like a network problem with YouTube but I don't have any issues with it on any of my other devices. I never get lower than 130mbps and I have kept an eye on my WiFi signal and it never drops but not sure if it would show if it was a quick drop.

Wifi - might be RFI from some other wireless device in the area.... I have a set of wireless rear surround speakers. They gave my wifi a fit! They didn't keep me off the network but they put so much RF in the way that I could only see about 8mbps from speedtest.net. Once I figured out they were the problem, by simply disconnecting EVERYTHING that is wireless and turning them back on one at a time, I just changed the wifi channel on the router and the speaker transmitter so they were as far apart as I could get them in the spectrum. Now, I have 30mbps from speedtest!
