Droid 3 - web pages will not scroll

I've noticed about a week ago that some web pages on the native Droid 3 browser will not scroll by touching the screen and moving your finger..  It may be related to only those pages that are not built for mobile devices.  Example: www.nickslighthouse.com.

There is a issue with the page you listed, I open the page and it wouldn't completely load and was not responsive to any gestures like you reported.  Defiantly looks like a page issue not a device or browser issue.

Maybe so, but that was just an example, I've seen it on many pages, and it only started happening recently, as if a software update is to blame.  I checked my old Droid 1 and it is happening on it now too.  I know it was not doing that for the past 2+ years.

While this may not apply to all browser issues, most of the time the issue can be fixed by following a few simple steps.  The first thing I always recommend is clearing the cookies and cache from the browser.  Browser> Menu Key> More> Settings> Clear Cache> Clear all cookie data.  The web page errors generally occur when the content on the site has been changed, but your device is trying to load saved cookie data from the previous times that it was accessed.  Give that a shot and let us know the results. 

 

You can also try this on multiple devices. Some sites contain content that simply isn't compatible with mobile devices.  This can sometimes be bypassed by manually keying in the mobile version of the web page if not automatically redirected there.  For example, when you navigate to www.websitename.com the mobile version of it will be m.websitename.com (generally). 

 

Let us know if you have any other questions or have any breaking news on your issue.
