I'm getting a strange effect about 1/4 of the time viewing HTML5 code on my Samsung Galaxy 3. Any ideas what is causing the view I captured in this screenshot?

Hi Phil
Was actually going to write a big post about this. I have been out buying a new iPad 3 and at the same time testing the new viewer on a couple of Android devices with Android 4.0.
To make it short my conclusion is that the max resolution they can use is 1024 just like iPad1 even if they have super processors and lots of Ram.
I found 2 Android 4.0 tablets to test. Samsung Galaxy tab 2 and an Asus with same configuration.
On all pages except one I got the same as you. Only my Mars Greeley Haven pano did work. http://www.panoramas.dk/mars/greeley-haven.html
When I got home I checked and found that it uses 1024 pixels cubefaces.
All my new pages I converted with the new version uses 1024 for iPad1+2 and 1400 for iPad3 and for android.
Its obvious that for Android HTML5 we are set back to minimum size even if we been able to use gigapixel for Android flash.

I discovered you say Galaxy 3. I suppose you mean Galaxy S3. The Galaxy 3 is an old Android 2.1 and can not see anything at all.
I have now changed the testpage so that it uses 1024 pixels cubefaces for Android mobiles and tablets.
Note that this is an HTML5 only page so Chrome,Safari and Firefox should also see it with HTML5.
On Desktops The first pano will be displayed with a 2133 pixels cubeface. The second one should use only 1395 pixels.

HI Hans,
Yes I did mean the Galaxy S3 and I'm still not getting the correct view using 1024.
Phil
What about the http://panoramas.dk/krpanohtml5only/
I have updated it to use 1024 also.
Remember to clear the cache. Android is very bad to use the cache. I just tried to do some tests on my old Desire Z and had to empty the cache 2 times before I got the correct pages.
ALso could you test this. http://www.panoramas.dk/mars/mars-greeleyhaven2/index.html
This is the direct link to the pano. The first one uses iFrame. I had a suspicion that the iFrame could be a problem as one of my pages worked only when I loaded it directly.
Hans
Hans,
Cleared the cache and no improvement on both links. I even cleared the cache multiple times and restarted the phone. They load fine the first time but if I try to view them again it goes bad. I could reinstall Flash but I'd like to get the HTML5 working because that's what everyone else will be using on the new phones.
Phil
Ok lets step down a little more.
This uses 840 pixels mobile cubefaces.

No change. Same thing on my wife's Galaxy Nexus.
Phil
The Nexus S is one of them Klaus has tested. I hope that Android get better to this with the next update.

The Nexus S looks like a different phone than the Nexus we bought a few weeks ago. http://www.google.com/nexus/#/galaxy
Hi,
Nexus phones:

The rendering what you see is when the Android Browser is rendering the page by 'software-rendering', and that is incredibly buggy and slow...
That seems to happen when there is not enough GPU memory left or so...
There is probably too much content on the page or the site content plus the images together are too large...
This is unfortunately still a big problem with HTML5 on Android - the Android Browser graphics are highly inefficient (compared to iOS) - and only Google itself could fix/improve that... my hope is that newer Android Chrome Browsers will be better here...
Best regards,
Klaus
There is probably too much content on the page or the site content plus the images together are too large...
As I said this page http://panoramas.dk/krpanohtml5only/840/
is just 840 pixels cubefaces and there is nothing at all extra on the page.It is generated directly from the tools.
I have not tested this one on the tablets I mentioned but when Phils Galaxy S3 can not show it something is very wrong.
