Hello,
I've got a annoying problem with my browsers (standard android and dolphin hd).
I open a page and minimize the browser through the homebutton. Then i start a different program, no matter which one. When i now switch back to the browser it reloads the page.
This is annoying especially when im in an area without internet (like bathroom or else )
Is there a way to fix that, how i call it, stupid reloadbug?
My device:
HTC Sensation (german t-mobile branding)
ICS 4.0.3
No root
Thx

Does anyone use Fire Fox web browser on Sensation? If so do you know if we can get Greasemonkey installed? Or something that can run a user script file?
Thanks
I had Firefox beta 6 I believe (or whatever the latest one is) and I didn't even keep it long enough to figure out if you can run those. I really prefer stock browser over that slow junk.
Just my opinion though

I also use mobile firefox. I have both 5 and 6 Beta installed. AFAIK Greasemoney is currently only available as a Desktop plug in.
I am not sure what others will do the job for you, but you can try searching their mobile plug in library.
To do this in FF:
-Swipe the entire page left
-Tap the gear icon on the bottom right (this will bring up a new screen)
-Tap the puzzle icon on the top to select the plugins page
-On the plugin page there will be a search box below your installed plugins.
Hope this helps.

I find Firefox quite unusable on the Sensation, a couple of open tabs is sufficient to cause Sense to shut down, requiring a restart when you exit the browser. Thats partly the Sensation's fault because of its low free RAM, and partly Firefox's fault for being bloatware. Frustrating, since I like Firefox in my SGSII and Galaxy Tab 10.1, which can cope with it despite its resource-hunger.
i actually havent had any issues with firefox, but i prefer the stock browser...
the best part about firefox on android is saving entire webpages as pdf's!
that, and syncing with your desktop. that was a clever idea
Try to use Dolphin Browser HD.
Would a plug in cound as a .JS file? As the site I'm playing needs this user script to have it more customizable. I've had no problems with FF or the sock browser, I've found that FF loads faster on some pages than the stock, but the stock just seems more simple to use.
Thanks again guys
Or if someoen has worked on a mobile version of "greasemonkey" ?
I recommend dolphin mini

i have firefox... sadly firefox doesnt support alot of things at the moment like flash, etc... i find dolphin hd to be the best browser by far for android... and once firefox catches up i will probably switch back over.... i think firefox has only realised the mass market of android in terms of their browser use as many are firefox desktop users... in time features will be implemented
I got flash to show up on Mobileburn with Firefox but it was kind of unstable and crashed..
Anyway Firefox uses less ram than any other browser (besides stock I think) and runs smoothly on my Sensation 4G. The Sense launcher is getting pushed out of the memory because it stinks. It happens with Dolphin, Opera Mobile and etc.
When multitasking whille having multiple windows opened in browser, when I switch back to browser, only one window remains. I wonder if it's normal, seems like a huge bug for me, I never had this kind of problem on my nexus one. Do your htc sensation stock browser has the same behavior ?
And don't answer me to use alternate browser, that's not what I'm looking for
My Sensation doesn't close windows in browser. Actually, I have never use it, because I use Opera Mobile / Opera Mini, but anyway, I tried now. I open few pages, close the browser with home button and go to gallery, to see some pictures And then I open browser back, and everything was like before.
(If I understand you wrong, sorry )
Mine are also closing randomly...not sure why?
Thanks for your answer, you understood me right.

This happens to me too. I don't think it's a bug, but it is rather annoying.
I don't think it's a bug either. Maybe the built in task manager is too aggressive with it.

it's not a bug. your phone was using a lot of memory & decided to kill your browser. when you go back to it, it's actually relaunching the browser & only has the last window you were on.
Hello,
Has anyone noticed the stock browser randomly returning to the home page immediately upon loading another page?
It does if you open a new tab.

mine crashes without an error message and so I have to reopen and go all the way back to the page I was on, so I don't use the stock browser anymore. I use Dolphin's HD browser
Same here. I use Dolphin HD v7.0 (not the tablet version) and it works great Plus has add-ons for ad blocking, themes, translation and better bookmarking.
My stock browser closes itself sometimes, especially, the default homepage of ASUS, or complicated page.
I also want to use Dolphin, is it good?
I've just started using Opera Mobile browser and pretty impressed with the speed.
even typing this there's absolutely no lag.

I definitely have this problem. My browser is always going to google.com even after I type in a url. Any solutions?
I'm also having this problem, sometimes the browser just closes and I also have problems with re-directs. I hope these problems are fixed with ICS.
I just emailed Dolphin Browser HD support for a problem I'm having. I figured I might as well post on XDA and see if anyone else has a solution or a decent workaround. I have Googled this problem a bit but have come up empty-handed. Anyways, since I'm lazy/not feeling well, I'll just copy and paste the email I just sent to Dolphin Browser HD support.

Hi,
I love your browser and it is my default browser on my Nexus S. My phone is NOT rooted and I bought it from Canada's Rogers Wireless. The problem I'm having is that when I go to some sites that as soon as the page for the article finishes loading, I can no longer scroll on that page to actually read the article.
Here's an example article: http://io9.com/5872558/parasitic-flies-turn-bees-into-zombies-before-wiping-them-out-completely
If I copy this URL and post it in Firefox or Opera for Android, the page loads fine and I have no problem scrolling.
If I prevent the page from fully loading, I can scroll. But this usually means pictures and other content won't load (but I'm able to read the article because text always loads first).
If I use the add-on called "Desktop Toggles" to toggle onto desktop mode, the page looks very messed up and I am often not able to read it.
Like I said, I love your browser, but I've had this problem for a long time with previous versions and am just about hitting the breaking point. Is there any way around this problem? Are you working on a fix (as far as I know it's not an uncommon problem)? I'd really rather not switch browsers.
Also, one of the "fixes" that people recommend (I've Googled the problem) is to zoom in or out of the page to enable scrolling. The problem is, for a page such as the example article above, zooming isn't an option as the page is in a mobile format.
I am using Dolphin Browser HD version 7.2.1
Please help/advise.
I've had this problem too, the only fix per se is to reload the page. Sometimes even if it's not a mobile page I can't zoom in/out.
Hello, you can try to use Dolphin Browser HD version 7.3.0 from Android Market. I think the new version will be better. If you also have this problem, you can contact support email: [email protected]
Yeah, I've tried version 7.3.0. I still have the same problem and I emailed support (after they replied to my first email) to tell them so.
Hi, i knew, this thread is pretty Old, but i have exactly the same Problem with my Galaxy Nexus.
I'm in touch with the Support team.
Any advise on this issue?
Uh, i have absolutely no problem with this site and browser combo, jb btw, you sure that ur browser is up to date?
Don't know if it's necessarily a Nexus S ICS issue but does anyone else find that the ICS browser has a really annoying rendering issue? A page can be fully downloaded but it doesn't actually display in the browser until you wait a few seconds or move the page around.
If you move the page around, there might be a block or two that shows up but then other blocks of the page don't.
This is really the only issue I have with the ICS browser as I love the interface. But it's a pretty big issue.
Opera displays pages smoothly and looks great but I hate the interface
I get this as well and its rather frustrating, the really bizarre thing is when you press the page overview button (where you can close a browser page) and you can see the page has loaded.
I've pretty much given up on the stock ICS browser because of this. Even native Google websites like Google News are painful to browse.
I have since moved onto Opera Mobile permanently.

Same thing happens to me. In several ROMS and ICS Stock.
On stock browser and Dolphin HD. Opera Mobile is ok.
opera mobile is best for me , I tried all popular browsers from market..
i use it cca 1 yeat , on iphone 2g and nexus s..
solved
Try using an other scheduler and or governor.
4.0.4 does it much faster so its not noticeable as much as it was when I had 4.0.3.
Anyone else with this issue should give the new Chrome beta a try. It doesn't exhibit this behavior at all and works pretty well in general
