Re: Any idea how to get the following radio stations?
 

I swear to you, I just tried it and there were none of those problems. I ran it side by side with my PC's monitor and they were pretty much the same (though the ad banners were different).

I just tried it again, it loaded completely in about 10 or 15 seconds, rendered identically to the PC browser.

Do you have any particular applications running or even just installed on your N800? It could be that they're somehow interfering with the browser, especially apps that are still in beta.

I'm running mine without any applications as I keep it as "plain vanilla" as possible for the tutorial videos, so people don't get confused by stuff they don't have on their tablet.


They are rare in my experience, but then it probably depends on which websites you visit.

As far as NYtimes.com goes though, there's a severe difference between what I'm seeing on my N800 and what you're seeing on your N800.

You might have "Fit width to view" checked.

1. Open a browser.
2. In the lower right corner, press the little magnifying glass.
3. De-check "Fit to view".

Ironic.

Re: Any idea how to get the following radio stations?
 

Yup, looks like it's fit to view that's the culprit.

When I switch it on it ruins the NYTimes page completely and takes ages to load, when I switch it off it looks absolutely normal and loads quickly.

TabletKev, that's such a good tip I'm going to do a mini-tutorial about it right now!

Re: Any idea how to get the following radio stations?
 

Oh, I have no doubt it's not a regular occurrence for users or I doubt the Nxxx would be so popular. :)

Well... I went nuts for a while but then realized I haven't a clue what half of these things are, really, so in the last couple of days, I'd uninstalled quite a few ones.

However, if I'm truthful, this problems been with me since Day 1 when I flashed the N800 last Tuesday when I first got it out of the box.

I just didn't realize that it's not a normal operation until, well, I thought about it and wondered why nobody seemed to be complaining about the downloads and went looking for some advice on in other threads.

I imagine if I hadn't had this problem, my radio woes would have been easier to figure out... .

I think I'm pretty reasonable in my applications. I've removed Pidgin, Gizmo, anything mappy, etc.

I just tried the NYTimes again - 45 seconds this time, without flash.

Re: Any idea how to get the following radio stations?
 

Betty, try it with Fit Width To View switched off, as Tablet Kev suggests.

I suspect that will cure all the problems you've been having.

I have it switched off, but as soon as I switched it on I got exactly the same problems as you. When I switched it off again, the problems went away.

Re: Any idea how to get the following radio stations?
 

Yup. Now it looks pretty and only takes 28 seconds to load. I'll take that for a dollar!

My iGoogle page is taking me about 16 seconds to load and now, at least, my widget things are only shoved over half a page. So at least I can read them.

'Ironic' isn't the half of it :rolleyes: 'Counter-intuitive' is another word (that I'm allowed to type without resorting to **s :D )

How very strange.

Many thanks TabletKev.

Re: Any idea how to get the following radio stations?
 

Hurrah!

I know I'm never unique enough to be the *only* one to have experienced this problem... .

Re: Any idea how to get the following radio stations?
 

I was just lucky enough NOT to have that option ticked. If it had been, I might never have worked out the problem.

Thank you TabletKev!
