Default Browser ~ Bookmarks Freezes App? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys,
I picked up my UK 32GB N8010 two days back and whilst using the default Internet app I noticed whenever I click on the Bookmarks Tag to the right of the screen it takes me to the Bookmarks page where no bookmarks are shown but more annoyingly it then freezes the browser.
Is this a common issue with the default browser?
Yes, I will be using another browser but it would be good to hear if there is an issue.

So many views yet not one reply.... Surely there must be one owner here who can provide me with an answer... pretty please :fingers-crossed:

Never had this problem. I have 4 samsung accounts in bookmarks but no freeze. Try to clear data for the app.

Thanks but tried that.....

Try and play with your sync settings for your Google account, I'm guessing is trying to sync your bookmarks and can't.

Good call but believe me that was one of the first things I did.
It's clearly corruption of some kind. I was hoping to get to the bottom of this purely out of curiosity but it looks like I may just bite the bullet and factory reset, it's going to be easier in the end I'm beginning to think.

If it doesn't bothers you to much just live it like that until the jb update and do the reset just before updating.

The Jelly Bean update is another argument which I and many others as (you know) are having with Samsung.
I have the N8010 and JB is not out... period.
Try and get an answer from Samsung is like turning water into wine... I have never met so many politicians as can be found in Samsung, you simply can not get a definitive answer.. more like an answer within another question.
As such I can't see JB coming to the N8010 before Christmas (samfirmwares don't have anything yet and I don't want to go the N8000 route), so I'll reset and see how things go thanks.

XDA app?

Xda app keeps closing whenever you hit back while trying to navigate within forum or threads.

No problems with Tapatalk...
For me... the xda app chews around 40-60% of processor capacity before it freezes out. Tried reinstalling but the problem persists.
Tapatalk seems to be working okay.

I think we are dealing with an ics issue here, I think the xda app devs fell asleep at the wheel and didn't do there ics homework! Maybe they don't know what ics stands for, it ain't "I crave salami".

I believe that the XDA App is just a custom Tapatalk App. However, it would receive updates outside of the main Tapatalk App, so it's possible that it hasn't received the updates and bug fixes that the main app has yet. Maybe one of the Mods/Admins can try and get the issue resolved.
Thanks for your input, imnuts . Hope I find a solution soon, running one free app, and two paid apps and still can't use any of them without it becoming a pain in the ass, and draining the juice out of the battery.

As someone else has mentioned, Tapatalk works perfectly -- which it does.
Try emailing them about the issue(s) you're having. The contact email from the Play Store is [email protected] I also saw that there was an XDA Premium HD app that is supposedly meant for tablets. Hopefully that isn't what is required as it doesn't look like there is a free version of the tablet app.
Tried running free xda app, also xda HD, still no good. I guess I can spend another 3.00 bucks and experiment for the dev dept. With tapatalk. And that's no guaranty that its going to work.

Paid xda app has never fc'd on this tab in the last 3 weeks for me. Running stock deodexed Rom.
good day.
Chopper the Dog, Does that mean you are rooted at present ? Not sure if you can deodex without rooting.
(I don't think so)
Thanks for your input.

### issue resolved ###
Issue was caused by setting in "developer option" - "do not keep activities" this needs to be un checked , not sure what this setting is for, but it can be a pain if checked.

Sent from my GT P-5113 using xda HD that does not force close everytime I hit submit.

pressing "Settings" in Chrome causes it to force, anyone else have this problem?

pressing "Settings" in Chrome causes it to force, anyone else have this problem?
I have a new Tab 2 7.0.
I installed Chrome browser from the Play Store. When I click on "Settings"
in Chrome's drop-down menu, it forces close the browser. I have tried
uninstalling and re-installing it, but it was still behaving the same way.
When I was at the local Best Buy store, I tried it on their display Tab 2 7.0
and it did the same thing.
If anyone else is experiencing this problem, do you have any idea what
may be causing this?
Thanks!
P.S. This doesn't happen on my Galaxy Nexus phone or any other Android
device that I own.
Yup. Happens on my tab running CM9. I assumed it was related to the rom...I was not aware that this happens on stock as well.

guess there's some conflict between Chrome and Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0.
Like I said, the Chrome browser doesn't have this problem on my other
Android devices.

from my experience, this problem is only limited to the Tab 2 7.0
(on both 4.03 and the recent 4.04)
not really sure which one to blame... Google or Samsung?

just tried Chrome for the first time on my Tab2 7.0 and encountered this bug when I hit the setting menus in Chrome, it doesn't do anything for a few seconds and then the whole Chrome browser just closes by itself, returning to the home screen.
is there a workaround for this problem?
I was also having this problem a few weeks ago on cm9 but now that I'm on cm10 it works just fine

I have the same problem, it's probably a bug.
It worked when I installed CM10 thought.
Did this problem exist when the Tab 2 7.0 was on Android ICS 4.03?

Yes, you're right. This setting/close problem doesn't happen on the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 that my friend has. I have been paying with it for the last half hour.
However, I also don't notice any lag when using the Chrome browser on it. In fact, it's just as fast/smooth as the stock browser and the Dolphin browser.
This trouble happens due to screen size. It is known issue and devs promise to include it in next Chrome update
See thread on Google Groups for details: Chrome bug Android ICS Samsung Galaxy Tab 2

Happened to me too, but it seems to be ok now.....running stock 4.0.3

New Note 10.1 . FCs a lot

Just got my Note today. Whenever I am using the browser I keep getting a message saying something along the lines of Unfortunately Google.com.android gapps has stopped working.
This is a brand new Note running stick firmware.

Try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, I'd exchange it. Why screw with something brand new?
Yea, what the guy above me said. I've had my note for a month and never once seen what you describe. Definitely exchange if factory reset doesn't sort it out
I agree with the two previous posters. Ive had the note since August as well and I having had any issues.

Did a Google search which maybe I should have done first . It seems to have been caused by syncing Internet on my Google account. Unticked the option, cleared data and all is well .

Quick question: what is internet sync?

I believe he meant account syncing, so if you have an app that needs data from your account, it can access it within an interval (certain time) e.g. Google Mail, when you get an email it'll give you a notification telling you that you have one.

slow - especially browsing

Ever since the last update, my TF300 is slow, especially browsing. I've cleared caches and even did a factory reset. Not much better. Any ideas?
I would suggest a custom rom and kernel if things are to slow for you. Not sure what else to say since you don't say which version of android your on etc. A lot more info will help someone help you. Also read around the TF300 forums plenty of guides and answers to most questions and there are tons of people working on making our tablets faster.
I use CROM-X 4.4.1 upgrading to 4.5 and Hundsbuah's Kernel which make the tablet 50-60% faster then stock IMO.

Use Boat Browser. Use Boat Browser Setting: Cache to SD Card. Disable any pre-installed app you do not use. Also, disable the AccuWeather Weather Widget.

4.2.2 and Netflix

I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 with stock ROM. I got the 4.2.2 update via OTA a couple of weeks ago. I did a factory reset and since then, Netflix has been laggy and buffering like crazy. Anyone have any idea as to what to do? Is it me? Netflix?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry i haven't seen any issues with my 4.2.2 OTA update on the Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113 with NetFlix. Maybe something different but i would highly doubt much difference between the ROMs.

I am guessing there isn't any difference between 7.0 and 10.1. I have asked in other forums and no one seems to have an answer. There was one other person with a Tab 2 7.0 with issues with NetFlix and Hulu Plus. Seems to be hit and miss.

I was told that my slower internet connection has a lot to do with it. Since it is in HD all the time, and doesn't change with your connection, it causes it to stutter.

I did a factory reset and still had issues so I did a second factory reset and made sure that google didn't install any apps that were on my account (went into play store and stopped the automatic installs after I added my account). Seems to be working now, so I guess there was a badly behaving app that I had installed. I am not sure what it was, I have reinstalled most of what I had on there before, it is still working.
I am going to have to try that. Thanks a lot.

I did this yesterday after my Tab was running like complete crap. It worked. No stutter or anything after the second reset. I just kept some apps off that I didn't really need off of it. Is yours still running ok after these few days? Thanks for your input.
