[Q] Browser Stuck at 20-30%

---

Just yesterday I updated to 3.2 and flashed Tiamat 2.1 ROM and Tachi Kernel also. I am not able to access certain sites such as fb, xda, xoomforums ets. But youtube loads fine. This problem was present in 3.1 also. But it solved by itself. What is the issue?

Thanks in advance.

Honeycomb 3.2
Tiamat XOOM ROM 2.1 Hammerhead
Tiamat XOOM 2.1.0 "TACHI"

Connected over ad hoc wifi using Joikuspot on nokia 5800

Please correct me if I am wrong

Upon reading your request and reading about 2.1 Hammerhead and TACHI (url's are where I read) I am to believe that you have the 3g Model of the Motorola Xoom, and not the Wi-Fi only one.

Before you flashed the ROMs, when you were on STOCK, you were able to access the Web Pages and had this trouble before but it fixed itself.

Here is my list of questions to help us, help you!

• Are you using the Browser that came with the tablet (Not Opera/Firefox/Dolphin/Etc)
• ~If no, then which broswer are you using?
• ~If yes, Have you tried to clear the browser history/cach/cookies?
• ~~I ask this because when I have lock up for downloads it is because of too much information being stored in one place...
• When you use your Youtube function, are you going to WWW.Youtube.com, M.Youtbe.com, or the APK? Same with the other websites that you use too please
• Are you in a 3g zone and have you not gone over your allotted package that you pay for through your carrier?

I hope we can help you fix this as soon as possible!

I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=945 to update to 3.2. It says wifi only. Also since I connect to an ad hoc network which the stock HC doesn't support, I'm unable to check if my wifi is broken unless I go my friends home which has a wifi router.

That aside.
-I am using the stock browser. I tried Dolphin but the same problem persists.
-Tried clearing cache, cookies, history and even application data. Even force close, factory reset, reboot Nothing works.
-I navigate to www.youtube.com from the browser itself.
--> Normal apps can use the internet normally.
-I share the 3g from my phone and my plan hasn't run out
--> I tried uninstalling and installing Joikuspot, restarting the phone etc. Issue is not with the phone. Else why woud only a few pages load on my xoom but on my laptop it works fine.



PS- When this problem happened earlier I was on 3.1 with the team tiamats rom and kernel. The whole reason why I upgraded was hoping this problem would go away.

Hypothesis: XDA and other sites use advertising banners which might block loading while their content is loading: sometimes their servers are slow.

(I have this issue occasionally on my Xoom, but not on the same sites with my desktop/netbook because of adblock plus.)

Ok, you are using stock browser, which means that it is trying to load up pages as a ANDROID PHONE/TABLET which makes pages read funkly because they are not coded for mobile. (Examples of mobile pages are but not limited to - M.Google.com M.Facbeook.com www.53.mobi and so on...) I asked if you used Dolphin because it has a setting in the browser that allows you to change the Reader to emulate a desktop computer, a IPod Touch, an IPad, and so on. (Opera Browser Also allows you to do this.) I am actually talking to you on my Dolphin Browser at this current moment on the Desktop Setting!

There is a way to test to see if this is the problem with pages not being able to load in the Android version of the code reader on the Stock Browser (as Dolphin and Opera are just a slight copy and epic change of it.) Here is the list of steps --

1. Open Stock Browser
2. type in to Address Bar, without quotes -- "about:debug"
3. Go to Settings for the browser though the menu key (the drop down at the top right of the tablet)
4. Go To Debug On Settings (at the very bottom usually)
5. Go to UAString (Towards the Bottom) and when you open it, you will see Android, Desktop, Iphone, (or something close to this)
6. Select Desktop and back up to the main part of the browser (This will save the settings)
7. From there, go to www.facebook.com and if it does not change your url to m.facebook.com, you have sucessfully changed your browser to emulate a Desktop Browser *Please note, that if you are not wanting to do this, Please use the settings in Opera Browser or PDolphin, where they openly state this process in roughly 4 clicks in the settings!*

Please let us know if this helps and if it does, WALA keep the settings (or do what I do, get Dolphin/Opera/Firefox and make them the Desktop Broswers and then use the regular browserfor pages that I know are mobile!)

GOOD LUCK!
