Browser "crashing" (no force close)

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?

Bump
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

Stock browser quits suddenly.

It happens while browsing. It just shuts down to the Launcher. Actually i can't normally use it because of this.
What can be the problem?
I think the problem disappears only when i turn off Javascript, but without it some pages won't load.

i have same problem, its annoying cause when you open the browser after it closes its lost the page you were on, not sure what the problem is though

i had that problem too, downloaded dolpin brower hd and the problem is over

Only times that happends to me is pages with lots of animation. And flash videos crashing the browser i just uninstalled flash and installed an 10.1 flash apk. Maybe helps quick reply. Cheers
I noticed that flash version over 10.1 does not play videos only resulted in green screen error. Im running opera browser and works 10 fold better. Might be related i dunno.

I had this problem on a previous version, I just deleted/copied it from the system/app folder and reinstalled it and it seemed to work fine.

I think it can be also related with ad blockers. When turned off it seem to stop.
I used adaway, and adfree, but it seem that they can cause some problems.

Nope, still had a sudden shut down. 2-3 tabs open while browsing quite a big website results in sudden shut down of a browser,.and tabs disappear.
So there is no other way than set the dolphin as a default.

JB Update Now - How's It Going?

I''m just now installing JB. It didn't seem to run as smoothly as I expected so I''ve done a complete factory reset. I'm having a little trouble getting the weather widget to run . It keeps saying there' s no connectivity yet I know my WiFi is up and running . I''m also downloading all my apps, so everything is kind of slow right now. I thing I''ll be using Apex Launcher since the default launcher still doesn't have many features. It also doesn't us all the possible screen real estate.
Looks like I finally got the weather widget set correctly. It took a factory reset but I think a factory reset is the way to go for this new softwear update. I''ll update after all my apps finish downloading.

I didn't factory reset and mine already runs amazing. Not sure if I necessarily see need for it.

Got my factory reset all done and downloaded all my Google Play apps. I'm getting a constant notification that I have a Google Chrome update but everytime it trys to download, I get an error. It says something about "cannot download due to server error.
Everything else seemed to download pretty quickly. I am using Wizz widgets and have noticed that I cannot log in to the Facebook or Twitter wideget unless I have both applications on my tablet and have already logged into them! Not sure that's the way it always worked.
I did install Apex Launcher and it's running pretty smoothly. The only problem is that I cannot get the weather widget to showup after a reboot! I'll need to work on that. I have also noted that some of the app lists don't seem to scroll as smoothly as before or as I would expect. I did have one Apex Launcher crash so far but it recovered pretty quickly.
My TF700's been running JB for only a little while. I"ve shut it down and restarted a couple of times just to see if it gets better. Time will tell. Now to try out Netflix and Hulu+ to see if they work OK.

All is well with my update, I suppose. Had to disable Browser2ram. Kept getting permissions notifications, over and over.
Biggest issue fro me so far: I no longer have a power control widget. What's up with that?

We'll so far everything is working just great. I've looked at a Netflix movie, Hulu+ movie, and viewed a number of YouTube vids and all ran very smoothly. No stuttering or anything. I also noticed that Netflix scrolling is smooth the way it should be. I've ran both the default browser through a number of web sites and haven't experienced a single crash. The same with Boat browser. I finally got Chrome to complete it's update and I'll be giving it a try.
I still can't get the ASUS weather widget to stay on screen visible. Once I put it on my screen and then go to something else, I come back to an empty space. If I try to put something else there, it shows me the outline of the ASUS weather widget but there's nothing visible. Very strange. I've switched to HD widgets for now.
One thing I did notice with Jelly Bean, you can now place widgets from alternate launchers (Apex and Nova) from the widget drawer. You don't have to place them by holding down on a screen.
Everything seems to be smoothing out. I hope this keeps going as well as it has so far.

My wifi isn't as fast anymore, my phone with cm10 on it gets triple the download speeds using speedtest app side by side. My tablet a little bit of lag that it never had before. I did factory reset also.

So far so good. Loving jb on the 700. Everything seems to be working fine on mine hopefully everyone else is going good also.
To the person above with weather widget I had to fix my settings and that fixed it for me.

Didn't have to do a thing. Exemplary execution of the bean. Everything is smoothly operative.
If I run into anything while more deeply into an app I'll report back.
Thank you Asus.

Running great so far. Haven't tested much outside of the browser and come apps. Overall seems way better and smoother. About to stream it up to the tv so hope all goes well there...

So far so good. Only 1 reboot. Restored to factory. Reinstalled all software. A bit disappointed as I was hoping for better I/O performance and quadrant score. Device still sluggish when reading and writing to sd card.

Anyone tried Google Now?
Tried to trigger it after the update. I tried the unlock ring method as well as the press "Back", "Home", or "Recent" buttons with an upward swipe. I get the little google target. It starts for a split second, then I see the small popup at the bottom saying "network error. Check your connection...". The google search screen comes on and that's it.
Not rooted and I haven't done a factory reset yet as everything else seems to be working well and thought I would post here first to see if anyone else is having the issue.
Thanks, Jim

Games seems to be working well. I've never been able to play Nova 3 before it would always freeze and flicker. No longer. Runs well. Trying out MC3 now see if it gives me those known issues with getting disconnected in multiplayer mode.
Update: MC3 no longer disconnects during gameplay on multiplayer. JB has been a welcome change indeed.

Have you tried factory reset yet? If not I highly suggest this. This solves a lot of issues people are having.

gn works great for me. first time i got that error as well. just go in to your app drawer and set up google now (google icon).

I'm happier with my tablet now, the update makes me feel better about ditching my Note 10.1 for the Infinity.
Some forum apps are loading kind of slow though.

Jelly Bean is a little sticky.....
Downloaded JB this morning and really happy to see Google Now, but didn't really see much of a speed improvement. Maybe cause it was fast already with ICS. Two things are a little confusing. I thought that JB was making the stock browser CHROME, well I still have the ICS stock browser and flash works fine. The other thing is that the tablet sometimes freezes at seemingly simply tasks and completely re-boots.
Do you think a factory reset would help?? Or is there a setting I need to tweak??

I have yet to have problems to that extent. I would highly recommend a factory reset.

[Q] Anyone experiencing apps closing on Slim Beam 7.2 2012.09.04

Hello everyone,
I installed the CM 7.2 based ROM from this thread [ROM][GB\ICS\JB][2012.09.04]Slim-CM7,CM9,CM10,AOKP.
It works fine but in about 2 months I experienced a weird behaviour.
When using the phone (it always happened using FB application but it could be just a coincidence) a message comes up and the all the running applications close.
From that point on, even after a reboot, every application I try to launch... closes immediately.
The only (that I know) way to exit this situation is to restore to default settings and so I have to reinstall everything.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

Nobody is working or developing on CM7 sources anymore. Switch to CM9 or CM10 or Slim Bean 3.1.
I recommend CM9 if you don't want random Force Closes, 'cuz it's yet the most stable ROM for our device.

CM9 installed!
Thanks for the tip and have a nice day.

Intermittent Chrome Kinetic Scroll Lag/Stutter Issue!

OxygenOS 9.5.9 update and I still have this issue see the video link below. I tried re-installing Chrome, did a factory reset of the phone, disabled smooth scroll on chrome but nothing works still have this issue!
What's also frustrating whenever I have this issue the screen will not timeout/go off, its as if something is hanging in the background. The only workaround I have found is to close the Chrome and relaunch or toggle the screen on/of with power button.
This issue also happens with Google Feed, Edge and Brave Browser basically any chromium-based browsers. Clearly, this is an bug with OnePlus and Chromium for whatever reason.
It's become so frustrating that I have disabled Chrome, uninstalled all other browsers and have resorted to using Samsung Internet Browser as my default browser which does not have this issue.
Chrome Scroll Stutter Issue OnePlus 7 Pro Link: https://youtu.be/1Z8bzG0tfPs
P.S. Only noticed this issue since updating to OxygenOS 9.5.8 and now 9.5.9 never noticed it in any of the previous versions!

Does it happen in Chrome dev?

I used to have this with (I believe chrome Dev) and needed to do exactly what you do, force stop and restart chrome. After that it works for a while but the problem comes back. After a while I uninstalled chrome Dev and started to use the stable one. Can't say I ever noticed it again, this was on min OP6, on my OP7P I'm still using chrome stable and also not notice the problem.
Some questions, are you stock? Custom kernel? Magisk modules? Etc etc.

Tried on the same website on chrome and it's normal on my unit

No runnning stock, not rooted as mentioned I did a full factory reset no joy. Even made sure I was running the factory pre-installed version of chrome. Whats worse when this happens it throws off the screen time out , screen will not time out unless I re-launch chrome or toggle power button on/off. To reiterate only noticed this issue since updating to OxygenOS 9.5.8 and now 9.5.9 don't recall having this issue on any of the previous versions!

The issue is random nothing to do with visiting a specific website, it happens every now and then as I said if I force stop chrome and re-launch problem goes away or if I just toggle the power button for screen on/off the scroll works as normal no issues!
I never had this issue with any of my previous phones and before anyone asks I have even uninstalled all the apps I normally use and stuck with the default ones still the issue rears it's ugly head.
The only solution for me now I'm using Samsung Internet Browser Beta as my default browser including opening links from all 3rd party apps and I have no scroll issues. :good: And actually this browser is growing on me, beginning to prefer this over chrome!

Really annoying , I understand.
What you could try is to factory reset and after that's done manually flash the latest available OS version. Not a OTA but the full rom. (Around 1500/2000 mb).
