Is it me or has the newest update made browsing more painful?
- After the last update I have never noticed so much checkerboarding on playbook as I do now.
I actually see it pretty often and I have a 20/10mbps speed at my house so I know its not my internet.
Just tested the browser against an ipad and it got thromped. But yet I test a 4s vs my 9900 and its dead even.
Have you guys noticed a difference? And yes I've reset and wiped the playbook and I still get the same results.

- Changes to native browser with BlackBerry Tablet OS 2.0.1.358
Pros
Faster loading of pages
Problem websites like xda developers do not crash the browser anymore
Cons
More checkerboarding05-21-12 11:15 PMLike 0 - I don't have that issue, but I have read some posts that if you have been running Android Apps, it does slow everything down.rotorwrench and miroozy like this.05-21-12 11:16 PMLike 2
- Yea don't think I have any android apps and if I do they're not running in the background when I use the browser.
Glad to see I'm not the only one that has experienced this.

What I have noticed is that pages like Crackberry and Yahoo Fantasy Racing that I used to be logged into for weeks at a time I now have to log in every time. Yes, I checked the box that says "Remember Me" and yes, private browsing is off.05-22-12 12:26 AMLike 0
- I have checkerboarding while a content heavy page is loading. Overall my experience has been faster with the update.05-22-12 12:55 AMLike 0
- Like others I see a lot of checkerboarding since the update and slower page loading my only response I got was "mine runs faster".
Then I found the only cure was to reboot it over and over.
Whatever the problem is I wish I knew because I been rebooting and it isn't any better, just checkerboard city.05-22-12 04:56 AMLike 0 - To the OP I too was experiencing this after that minor update. I noticed also that after that update none of my sideloaded apps worked, after reading your thread I decided to do a Security Wipe and all seems better now. Not sure if it had anything to do with the sideloaded apps or not, but the security wipe did fix the issue. For now. Waiting for the next slow in 1, 205-22-12 10:06 AMLike 0

I notice I don't get checker boarding on my PC based web browsers, but they just don't scroll past what has loaded.05-22-12 10:13 AMLike 0 - To the OP I too was experiencing this after that minor update.

I presume I need to backup all my docs including photo albums and everthing else stays intact. If its easy, I may try this to see if it improves any.
Thanks05-22-12 10:51 AMLike 0 - I know I can get my answer about this from the documentation but just a quick question about security wipes: how does it affect my purchased apps, downloaded images & documents, and my appworld ID?

The first way is to do a full backup with the desktop software first, do the security wipe and then a restore. This will bring all your apps and data back.
The second option is to manually copy important files, pictures and videos from your PlayBook to the PC, then do the wipe and restore the apps from AppWorld and copy the data back. You will not get App data back this way. So if you use any apps that store any data in part of the filesystem you cannot see, you will loose this data.
No matter which way you choose, do a full backup first so you can always restore the Playbook to the state where you started.05-22-12 11:19 AMLike 0 - i dont how often i already said this,but its not flash what slows down the browsing experience,to be honest there is hardly any noticable difference with or without.
But what the real problem is,is javascript.
The javascript performance of the pb is rubbish,crap and so on.
Dont wanna troll but thats by far my biggest problem with the pb,it totally ruins the browsing for me.
I have it disabled almost always and only turn it on if i really have to.
RIM really NEEDS to do something here05-22-12 04:59 PMLike 0 - I actually had better browser performance prior to OS 2.0. My browser quite often stalls half way when trying to do tasks such as post on messageboards. My browser also crashes at least twice a day, although it's a lot less than it did before the update, but still not nearly as stable as the original OS was.05-22-12 05:25 PMLike 0

But, I had performed a test a while ago, and I too noticed that disabling flash gave me an almost unnoticeable difference in page rendering, whereas disabling java made things load in a real pinch. Java is much more important than flash IMO. I find the PB handles flash very well. The browsing speed is also pretty good imo05-22-12 06:50 PMLike 0
