How to improve the browser's speed ?

[tezuka]

Hi everyone

Does anyone know how to improve browser's speed ? My Bold 9780 is really slow on Internet both in edge and 3G. The worse is that manytimes when I type something in the search bar the brower is charging and after a minute a message appears to say that there is a signal problem. When I'm in a hurry I want to break my Bold on the floor...

I tried to delete "BlackBerry Internet Browsing Service 2", the browser begins to be faster but the search bar doesn't work and after 10 minutes the "BlackBerry Internet Browsing Service 2" appears again...

I also tried Raikkohad Hybrid for its "speedy browser" but I felt no changes...

I don't want my Bold to be as fast as an iPhone (it's impossible), but I want the minimal amount for a smartphone which cost 400 €...

Please, does anyone has a solution ?

Thank you

Try the Opera Browser instead?

Yes Opera is faster but its javascript support isn't very efficient, I prefer the OS6 native browser for javascript.

It's all about the choices. I have them both and randomly swap between them. Though I'm not a heavy user of my phone's browser, more for the odd bit of checking footie scores when out. Or a bit of a price check in a shop.

My biggest hassles are just the slowness of waiting for the first pages to load. I am too used to multi-tabbed browsing on a PC where I am usually looking at a dozen pages at a time.

I have never seen your described signal issues though.

The fact is these smart phones were not made to do heavy computing jobs. They can help you in emergency but until now 99% of them don't work like genuine computers. You can consume data on them but generating new data on these phones is quite difficult. For you, I would advise you to try out all the available browsers one by one and then finally go with the one that is the most efficient.

+++1 I fully agree on this ...

Of course phones aren't as efficient as computers, but iPhone's, W7's and Android's browsers are pretty nice to use compared to BB's browser.

I only know Opera and native browser, which are the others available browsers ?

Thanks.

It is a little unfair to compare current iPhone\W7\Android to the 9780 as they are built around a different smartphone concept with bigger processors. Just look at the comical "quality" of phone calls from those devices - they are more "mini-computers" with a phone bolted on. Wheras the Blackberry is a phone with the browser bolted on.

The advantage of Opera is it is built by a real Browser company and has been aimed at the mobile phone world for a long time. So much more development mileage has been covered.


I would go back to your first point though which does worry me. Why are you getting so many errors when browsing? I have never seen that error message -do you get that with all browsers? What is your browser like on a WiFi connection compared with 3G? What other apps have you got running which may be interfering?

Yeah it sounds like a dodgy app is slowing you Blackberry down. Not the browser itself.

I only have this message with the native browser, with Opera the page wouldn't load but no message appears.
My browser works well on Wifi but not on edge and 3G.
I don't let any others apps running because I close them when i finish using them.

And there is no problem with my carrier. Last month I had a 9900 with my sim card and browsing was wonderful on 3G (but I sold this 9900 because of the crappy battery life...).
