About twice a day, when browsing with the default browser, it will lock up, give the one vibrate followed by two...stay locked up, do the vibration pattern again and then present a black screen. About two minutes later, it appears it rebooted but never showed the Samsung or AT&T logos...
Anyone else having this issue?

Has not happen to me.
It could have been the site you visited. Try Dolphin HD, much better than stock browser.

All of the Galaxy S phones experience this occasionally when viewing certain heavy websites like the pocketnow.com desktop site, especially if you get a few tabs going. Nice to see Samsung still hasn't fixed that. I suggest Opera Mobile.
I can vouch for the browser crapping out on any large website, this was one of reasons I switched from the captivate to the inspire. Used an infuse today and noticed the browser froze right away on anything with flash content.
I like the stock browser but I will try Opera Mobile for a while to see if it helps...it was my browser of choice on WM 6.5

If I remember correctly on my captivate there were a few development who had tweaked the browser.apk to fix rendering issues and freezing. Will have to go back and read changelogs on some of the custom roms

Well here's my quandry... I like the stock browser and I didn't have this problem with my Captivate... I am just really hoping that we can find a solution for this. I did reset the browser back to default settings and so far in the past couple days this is not happened... I'm not saying it fixed it but I will monitor it for a few days.
Side note however..
How can I make one of the other browsers the default browser and also where do I go to reset that back to the stock browser?
Thanks...

If you're having problems with the stock browser just switch to an alternative like dolphin or firefox etc. Many improvements over the simple UI and limited functionality of the stock browser anyway.

As usual check to make sure what storage the app is installed on. I am having some issue with my Audiogalaxy widget personally. I never told it to do so, but it installed the app on my internal "memory card" as opposed to on the phone. Move it if you have to.
Try restart after that, and if it still isn't working, try removing and reinstalling.
(I'm beginning to suspect some widgets I am used to may be gingerbread only)
Yeah gtasks is deleting itself and also my videos and mp3s randomly stop working.

well he tweeted it. he didnt say in progress, he simply said he was looking through the infuse source code... and then said the infuse would get the voodoo treatment. first sound, then lagfix. dont expect it this week or next. or even next month. it might come that fast but it might not. he got a sgs2 and may be sidetracked with that, also he is heavily involved with new stuff for voodoo sound, maybe we will get squeezed in to this next voodoo sound release, maybe the one after.
is anyone who is having trouble using apps to sd? that is known to cause disapearing widgets. the sgs's have ample storage for apps. i dont know why people insist on moving them to the sd. maybe they have a fast sd card but the phone doesnt need much. embedded os is kinda designed to do minimal i/o.
I had the same issues with widgets deleting. I had to uninstall and reinstall from market to get the going again.
I should have said this first, my issues only started after rooting. But then again I only had the phone for about 10 mins before rooting it.
got rid of it already though as I have an sgs2 on the way.

No issues with force closing, but I have had quite a bit of disappearing Widgets. Grooveshark and audible from the same panel in go launcher. I haven't done root or anything.

I had the same problem of Widgets Disappearing, mainly after reboots.
In my case, the culprit was that the applications were automatically installed in the Internal SD (16gb one) of the phone instead of its flash memory... The end result was that when the phone booted up, looked for the widgets /before/ it had finished mounting and scanning the Internal & External SDs, causing the OS to simply removing the Widgets since it could no longer find them.
Try checking on Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> <Problematic App / Widget> (And if available) -> Move to Phone
Reboot and they should stop disappearing.
This totally works. Using go launcher and unrooted Infuse 4G. Both Grooveshark and audible widgets now stay active in the widgets menu.

Anyone having issues today where the Facebook app takes you to the mobile page? I've even rebooted the phone and same problem..the app simply takes you to the browser and the mobile page.
I have the same problem, it's irritating as hell! I can't even get to the main menu, it goes right to the mobile site.
oh god i was about to slam my phone on the floor. i thought it was mine.
I've uninstalled the last updates...but that basically puts the "stock" Facebook app back in place that the Infuse came with...it works though...
i cleared the data and it worked for a while then went back to the same thing... OPTIMUS PRIME DISAPPROVES
I'm sure this has to do with facebook and their shenanigans with changing the API so much...
I uninstalled the app, then reinstalled it. It's been working as it should for about an hour now.
Edit: Scratch that. I spoke too soon. Going right to the mobile web version once again. Even that is acting weird.

I wonder if this is related to the rampant app autoblocking that Facebook started yesterday? More collateral damage?

Thank you jayson94538 for posting the link to the hacked browser. I hadn't had a chance to post it yet.
When I use the search button on my phone lately(past week or so) it's asking me to full out one of those capta things where you just type a word in a box. It's getting very annoying. From the same page it says this:
" Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot."
Anyone else getting this? I dont use this feature enough to cause this, maybe I'm being hacked?

Same with me, nobody knows what's up???
What browser is everyone using, and what is the user agent set to?
For me it happens only if the stock browser searches, for example if I hit search button, our search via address bar in stock browser. Doesn't happen when I go to google.com and search from the page.

I had that happen this past weekend on stock AT&T 2.2, so I doubt it matters what ROM you're on.
Hey all!
What is your preferred browser?
I am a continuous user of Opera Mini for several reasons. The top of which being the data usage savings thanks to the compression from Opera servers. My second reason, it's simple to use and fast as all get out even when on 2G.
Being open to change though, I'm curious to see what others use regularly. Thanks guys n Gals, let me know. Any input is appreciated.

stock browser.
its light-weight and therefore fast, all websites run on it no problem and it syncs with my chrome because my chrome is synced with my google account.
but also im on nexus s, so cant really handle the chrome browser optimally.
perhaps for s3 or galaxy nexus it would be worthwhile using the chrome browser.
For me its opera mini just for the fact it loads pages quicker and its snappier than stock or any other browser I've came across.
But when YouTube app decides to start hiccupping I go to stock for YouTube.
