Okay I am having a consistent problem and am wondering if this is happening for anyone else...
If I Google search the color "black" and go to the Image results, I absolutely cannot tap of the images or the navigation for image pages. When I tap it, nothing happens at all, I cannot change result pages or open up larger images. This happens on Chrome and the stock browser.
I also had this problem before with Youtube, occassionally. Its very, very annoying..
Does this happen when the HOX is plugged in? I had a crappy charger that used to mess with my touch screen.
Although this could be a hardware problem. Try testing it in a multi touch testing app. See if there are any dead zones or something (unlikely, but worth a test)
I tried a testing app on your recommendation and it works perfectly fine there.
On the browser with Google image search, I can tap most of the webpage, such as the search bar, related searches, etc. The links that dont work are the actual images, which I can't load, and the numbers below the images for pages of results. In fact, when I tap the pages for results, the link changes color to indicate that I tapped it, but nothing happens at all.. it just.. does nothing. I found out that this works for any image search on google.
This also happened for me during a Youtube upload, it would not recognize any taps, but after I exited and came back later, the taps registered. Also happened under the settings menu.. I exited and then it worked again.
Which browser?
Is the browser in 'mobile' or 'desktop' mode?
Chrome and the stock browser. Mobile search too
my LG THRILL is doing the exact same thing tonite. WTH?
Not working here either.. Galaxy s2!
Same here, weird.
Anyone got a solution yet?
I would suggest a clean wipe..if rooted make sure to wipe all cache

on my thunderbolt i've been messing around streaming a couple flash videos. On my browser, i have settings set to "on-demand" for plugins so I have to click a flash element before it even begins to load. now, occassionally, i'll open a tab with a flash video, and as soon as i type the flash element, the browser exits immediately and I re-open the browser to find all my tabs closed and it loads up google (homepage). Its only sometimes that this happens and I haven't checked to see if auto-loading flash elements make a difference, but I do know that it's happened to me on the thunderbolt's browser as well as in dolphin HD browser.
anyone ever experience this? I remember it happening on my OG droid, maybe just an android quirk?

Anyone? It just happened to me again when i wasnt even trying to play flash...its really annying when you have 5-6 tabs open with no easy way to restore them when i reopen the browser
Turn off add ons and see if that helps at all.

Maybe one of the sites you have open has a script stuck running and wont complete....
I've had this happen a few times. I wasn't trying to use flash, however.
Happened to me once so far on T bolt. Happened a few times on some other android phones ive had. Idk what causes it. Its random.
Yeah it's a mystery I guesd. Overclocked to 1.5ghz today though!
Go To apps in settings menu and look for the internet app and clear chache and clear data should work

whenever i go to google and start typing in something to search the moment i get one letter in, the screen changes to the google results screen and i have to click the search box numerous times to get it to work. once i finally do theres a 1sec delay from when i type the letter to when it appears on the screen. anyone have that issue?
I used to. Now I use www.google.com/m and it works fine.

I would often get annoying behavior too. I will have to try out the /m page. Thanks
I have a brand new HTC One X on att, and I have been using chrome for awhile now and all of a sudden it stops cooperating. Specifically when you try to load a web page it shows that it is loading, but never actually shows the web page and you can keep clicking refresh and it does the same thing. Also at the same time if you click the button to view open tabs the top of the screen changes, but the rest stays white and you cant see the open tabs. I have uninstalled the app a few times and re-installed and the problems persist so I am stuck using the stock web browser which isn't as bad as chrome but does have some annoying features. Has anyone else experienced this problem with chrome?

It's not a phone specific issue, I've run in to that before too. Sometimes clearing the apps data and cache in 'Android Settings>Apps.'
For the past few months now my wife's Tab 2 has been misbehaving, it is consistently crashing with certain apps (mainstream ones, not random junk) most noticeably the stock browser (making that unusable) - the browser starts and displays the menu and tab bar, but does not display any webpage or url and then will crash within 5 seconds without doing anything, thus returning to the home screen. Similar behaviour is seen when using the Google search widget, I type in a word, press the magnifying glass to search it pauses a long time then closes and goes back to the home screen.
Lots of apps work absolutely fine but about 30% don't, and it is pretty consistent if the work they always work, if they don't work they usually crash at the same point. I did wonder if it was a certain function or driver that triggers the crash or possibly more likely there is a hardware failure.
The tablet is completely stock and up to date. I have tried doing a factory reset and restored everything, that didn't work. I tried a factory reset and restored nothing (setting up no accounts not even a Google one and installed nothing) but still I get the same behaviour. I have tried wiping the cache partition as recommended on many websites (http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-8015). I have also tried running the Internet in Safe Mode, all with the same result of the app closing and going back to the home screen.
Does anyone have any suggestions or even something different to try?
(Ideally I didn't want to root it or use a custom ROM, but I may have to try this if nothing else can be suggested, I have my doubts whether this would fix it.)
I reported this issue to Samsung 21 days out of warranty and they want me to send it to the repair centre to get a quote whilst re-iterating that it was out of warranty.
I can't remember how or where from but I followed some instructions to log what was happening, please find that attached. A quick search for "died" will show where the issue occurs.
Thanks for reading, I hope someone can help as my wife has all but given up on using the tablet.
Thanks
Craig

Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (Wi-Fi)
Model: GT-P5110TSABTU
Android Version: 4.2.2
Build Number: JDQ39.P5110XXDNH2
Internet Application Version 4.2.2-P5110XXDNH2
Anyone know if this is likely to be a hardware issue?
I'm currently charging it up ready to flash with CM12.1, always wanted to try it and it can't do much harm now and may even fix it!
Thanks for looking anyway.
Here's a tip, go with CM11 snapshot, cm12 is buggy and when you least expect it you get stuck with a bootloop. And drop the native browser and use Chrome.
This tab 2 isn't up to cm12, I was running CM11 for over a year with no issues whatsoever and speed and processor speed equal to my son's Nexus 10.
I t tried CM12 and after 2 weeks it went haywire, I'm not a flashaholic, I use my tab for Internet browsing, youtube and play one game Plants vs Zombies.
I get great battery life and everything works the way it's supposed to.
This a typical screen shot of my tablet in sleep mode.

I have this problem from 1 year, from the day i bought the phone til now ive installed all updates.
Using chrome, after a while, 10 minutes or 1 hour, the page look like freezed, i try to scroll or touch but nothing.
I need to go to another app and come back (also just go to thumbnail view and back) then i see again the page and i see it scrolled until bottom if i did it when it was freezed. I mean that when the page freeze actually is working if i scroll or tap the page change but i need to change app and come back to see. It just appened right now
I've tried chrome beta and dev, same thing
Anybody knows about it?

I have the same problem! It's annoying as hell and I haven't found a solution. It's awesome phone otherwise but this one thing ruins the experience.
I found the solution
In chrome://flags find the "Android SurfaceControl" flag and disable it.
