whats up with the stock 4.1.2 aosp browser? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey guys,
First off. Please don't bite my head off.. if this is the wrong section, could a mod move this for me?
I've searched around the internet but haven't found anything. My stock aosp browser has been bugging out lately. What happens is if i load a heavy page (droid-life does this all the time) the loading goes up most of the way, pauses for a second, and i get booted off fhe browser. It just closes out to my home screen. Then if i open the browser again, its either the page i was just at, which will be fully loaded, or it starts over on google, which then proceeds to refresh over and over again on its own. Odd, it has never done this before. I tried different kernels, roms, factory resets, i wiped everything each time. And it still keeps doing this. I dont get it. It even happens on my friends epic 4g touch, so i dont think its just my device. I've been resorting to using chrome for now, which is somewhat wonky. I would love to remedy this issue. Can anyone help, and importanly, has this been going on with anyone else? Background: i have a rooted, unlocked d2vzw, running paranoid android (latest) and leankernel 1.10 experimental. Cpu is stock, gpu is oc'd.
Thanks in advance!
What gets me the most, is that a few days ago this would never happen! It just started happening for seemingly no reason!
Btw, the other roms i tried were: cm10 latest nightly, paranoid android (of course), liquidsmooth, latest, and king kang. My buddy is on cm10 build 2 on his epic 4g touch. I tried each with their stock kernels as well as leankernel.

Have you tried using the Chrome browser?

I'm currently using chrome, which isnt bad, but its still buggy and isnt as slick as the aosp browser. I figure lots of folks will suggest different browsers. I would like to still be able to use the stock aosp browser, which is why i started this thread

Mine was doing it too. A simple wipe of the browser days fixed it.

Data wipe solves the google reloading over and over again, but when i open up droid life, its the same story: it loads up a droid life page once, the second droid life page (like a news story or something linked off the original page) reliably loads most of the way, pauses and then boots me out. Then if the page isnt still there when i go back to the browser then its google, refreshing over and over again. Visit the droid life page, let it load, then open up any of the news stories. Does your browser boot you?
Edit: it does this with droidforums too, and many other sites.

Yep it sure did not me at droid forum.... Strange

Yup this happened to me running liquid smooth, seems like the browser had issues with rootz wiki.

So it is happening with other folks as well? This is strange as this has never happened before. Its been happening to my buddy with an og razr as well

Its now happening to my buddy on his stock t989, stock tw browser. What the hell is going on? Did google change something in their servers or something? This is incredibly annoying and i simply cannot understand why this isnt a bigger issue. Chrome sucks. A lot.

I have Cognition 2.4 on my Captivate and it still lags, will this phone be stable?

I updated to Cognition 2.4 and the phone still lags, i have a couple widgets on the home screens and not too many apps, maybe 15-20. Why does it lag and have delays when I'm using it? Why can't it just run smoothly like my wife's iPhone 4? Is it too much to ask for a phone that is supposed to be capable of being a beast, especially after flashing roms to it to make it faster? I always seem to clear my RAM or restart to try to get it to run stable but after a little while it will stall and lag again. Is it fixable or just something I can't get away from with Android?
Try an i9000 ROM.
Such as the one in my sig, or one of the several others.
You'll see a world of difference.

I don't know why you're having problems with the lag. I find no lag with it whatsoever. If you have problems with the lag, try another rom like the previous poster says.
It did lag a little bit. Issues with launcher 2 and some kernel scripts according DG. 2.4.1 Is now live and has addressed these problems. Rom seems very stable and fast as can be
Two answers first the lag is the nature of the beast with roms. Cognition is still in beta because he is using leaked beta source. Some of the releases are amazingly smooth.
Sure iphones are cool and all but can't do nearly as much ie no real multi taking which I'd brutal on ram and cpu

Thanks guys, I'll try the i9000 rom or Cognition 2.4.1. Is anyone else having problems with the market on Cognition 2.4? I can't download or update anything, it gives me an error every time.
sounds like you probably need to revert to your original Android ID.

I had that problem first time around with cog2.4. I had just updated from 2.3, strange it was the first time a cog rom didn't work perfect for me right off the bat ( and I never had to master clear before, just kept stacking new roms on my phone since DG started making them ).
I master cleared with odin ( backup your stuff first ) one clicked back to JF6 master cleared again, one click root, DLed CWM and flashed 2.4cog. Thing works perfect now.

You don't experience any lag now? Which odin did you use to master clear before you master cleared again after going to jf6?

I did do it twice, first before flashing JF6 and once after I had done the one click back to stock. Make sure the phone is up and running when you do your master clear ( I'm not sure if you are doing it, hell I didn't know when I started ). It'll let you know that it has worked.
As far as the market deal, mine would show the little download icon on the notification bar for a half second or less and then never download it, you could go back into market and cancel, try again and still the same thing.

[Q] Why is it so hard to find a stable rom?

I have tried virtually every type of rom in search of one that is stable, and I can't find one! I've tried froyo sense, gingerbread sense, CM6.1, CM7, MIUI 2.2/2.3. I don't even bother to try overclocking anymore, but all of the roms suffer from random reboots and random app crashing. I'm starting to believe there is some kind of hardware problem with my phone as I never had this many problems with my original desire or the hero before that.
It's not like I do anything crazy with my phone either, I run:
2 gmail accounts
twitter
linkedin
weather app
documents to go
no games
Am I alone with this, or are there others out there in a similar situation? All I want (ideally) is a vanilla 2.2 or 2.3 rom that is just STABLE.
I have tried alot of the ROMS for this phone. I really don't have any problems at all, since going to the MIUI ROM I haven't had a crash yet. And before that maybe only 1 or 2 a week.
I have yet to have stability issues... Are you wiping all user data, clearing cache, and clearing dalvik before flashing a new ROM
I have had random quirks here and there, but no more then I did on the stock rom. I had more fcs on the stock rom then i have had with any custom rom I have tried.

i'm with you on this....i have had very, very few force closes with stock or cooked roms, but i did have lots of random lag with the stock rom. This is initially what made me finally root and flash. I had quite a few small problems with MIUI and CM7, but have had nothing but great things to say about CoreDroid.
I have had absolutely no problems with the two roms I've been flip flopping between (CM7 and Cognition). Every time I change though, I make sure to do a reset, cache wipe, dalvik wipe to make sure I'm doing a clean install. I'm not 100% sure what doing all that means, but a lot of the devs specify it in their instructions, and I'm sure they know more than me!
Maybe get back to stock everything, and then try flashing either CM7 or Cognition? Although I hear others are stable as well, these are the only two I've tried.
(I'm using cognition right now, but I am not running it overclocked. I scaled it back down to 1000 with setcpu.)
To those who asked, yes, I'm wiping cache/dalvik, etc. Every time I flash a new rom. I can handle the occasional app crashing or FC, but the thing that drives me nuts is when everything locks up and drops back to the boot screen (not a "full" reboot).
Ah well, maybe i'll try cognition or Core and see how things go.
I keep hoping an AOSP rom will pop up because the best rom i had ever used was oxygen for the original desire. Rock solid, and fast.
I can't help but to wonder what your exact flash method is. Because, like the others here, I too have had no problems with any of the roms at all. I've gone a whole month without a single FC while using 3 or 4 different roms.

I'm behind on the terminology, but how is CM7 not AOSP? I thought AOSP stood for Android Open Source Project or something. AKA "pure", vanilla android.
Also, I think you might have a lemon of a device. If you're sure you are doing everything right and following instructions, I would see if I coul exchange your inspire.

I've been using CM7 since I got my Inspire in the first of March and I've not had any problems. That's with 120 apps and overclocked to 1300-1500MHz, too. I think you should exchange yours for a new one.

I too have tried a few other ROMs and always come back to CM7. I love the AOSP feel (vanilla Android is AWESOME) and I'm overclocked to 1.2Ghz and CM7 never FCs or resets itself. I had a few FCs and resets on other ROMs which made me miss the CM7 experience and simplicity. Yes Sense is the nicest Android skin but nothing IMO beats the experience CM7 gives you on this device!

CM is not "pure" vanilla android.
As for the op's problem, I have minor issues occasionally with some roms but nothing like what you are experiencing.

[Q] G2x slows down every few days, needing reboot

Hello, I've been running xboarder56's rooted GB OTA (not the tweaked one) for about 2 months now with almost no problems. However, my phone slows down and starts getting laggy to the point of being unusable after a day or two, and the frequency seems to be increasing. I don't run many background services. Only rebooting fixes the problem temporarily. I'll try to load a webpage on either opera mobile or the stock browser while listening to music and the music starts skipping and popping while the page loads slower than usual, but after rebooting it's fast again with no skipping.
I've been searching the forums and Google and seen a few others with this problem but can't find a fix for it. I've tried clearing the Dalvik cache (with NVflashed CWM) but it didn't seem to help any. Is this a common problem with LG-based Gingerbread ROMs, and does anyone else here still have this problem? I started having this problem after running my last ROM, CM7 RC1 after a month, and when I switched to my current ROM I did do a full wipe/factory reset. I'm thinking about trying the new-ish CM7.1.0.1 stable ROM or Weapon G2x and am wondering if those have this problem as well. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time!
I have honestly had that problem with every most roms I've tried at some point. Maybe not instantly, but it will eventually start to slow down like you described in which i have to reboot.
Dang. Do you think a fix actually exists for this, or does everyone have this problem? It's strange since I can't find much discussion about this.
It sounds like you have an app gobbling up memory and not releasing it. All Android phones such be rebooted around once a week to keep things nice and tidy.

That's the issue I have with any 2.3.3 builds. But with 2.3.4 straight for 2 days now, hasn't experienced this issue yet. Unlike 2.3.3 that even within a day, it needs a reboot. I think there is a problem with LG's memory management.

If I flash CM7.1.0.1 stable, will ClockWorkMod 3.0.2.7 that I flashed for the CM7 RC suffice? Or do I need to update that too before flashing? Sorry to drag the thread along.

It should work fine flashing any zip, but the 5.0.2.0 version of CWM is far better. Flashing it with the One Click tool is a no brainer. Go ahead and update it. It will only take you a few minutes of your time.

Do you have any evidence to support that? From what i've read android is made to run better when more memory is used.

I never had to reboot my Nexus One, or even my T-mobile G1.
I've tried just about every rom for the g2x since i got it about a month ago and they are slow down. I'm not on the 2.3.4 rom and it started out great; now its almost unusable.
Anyone know whats wrong?? i'm about to call t-mobile and try to get another phone. I don't understand how they can release phones that just don't work. How can my single core 1ghz Nexus one be faster then this dual core 1ghz phone?
i'm just on stock and i have to reboot my phone every single day or else it's not useable. i have like zero apps on my phone almost so i know that can't be the problem, it's ridiculous

Good to know it isn't only me. I'm trying some more tests on my phone to see whats going on. I think i'm gonna call tmo soon and see what they say.
i'm sure they won't have a good reply for you but definitely share with us if they do! i understand having to reboot the phone like once every three days or so but every single day is totally unacceptable

Did anything ever come from this? I'm completely stock, just got this phone the other day. This phone lags harder then my HD2 I just had, which I would have kept if the digitizer didn't go out.
Are you guys on stock? If so then i highly recommend going custom. LG can't code for crap, so lots of stuff that was wrong with this phone has been fixed in the recent custom roms/kernels.
I've had the same issue until i recently switched to Phoenix Blood rom. I recommend it if you want to forget when was the last time you rebooted and still use the phone buttery smooth. I am using Faux kernel and the ROM is rock solid for me. Recently ran and the V6 script(instructions are on the rom's page in development section) with it and now it's even better! Give it a try you would love it;-)

Yeah get on a ROM without any LG coding or framework. If you guys prefer a more stock 2.3.3 feeling I would suggest Bionix Reloaded.
I make it a habit to reboot my phone every night before I sleep.

Adobe Flash and Jelly Bean

I do a tonne of reading and usually all my answers are found through searching, but I am stumped on this one, hence, my first post.
I simply cannot get flash to work on my Skyrocket while running Jelly Bean.
I have the older APK of Dolphin. I have several APK versions of Adobe Flash. None of them seem to work.
I have tried the old version of Dolphin (and the new version where you delete a certain file to allow flash), the built-in browser, Firefox, Firefox Beta, Opera, QuickICS, plus a few others just for good measure. All these plus trying different versions of flash with each one.
The best I can get is the little circle where a flash video is loading, then a blank/black screen. Then I have to re-start the browser I am testing because it will lock up.
I have no issues with ICS running flash, but as soon as I load ANY of the JB roms, nothing.
Most of the posts I see on the web are to load the Adobe APK and then to load the older Dolphin APK and they are good to go. Not for me 8-(
Just a couple of flash sites I am trying are:
Amazon Instant video
South Park Studios
Watch South Park Online
BTW, thanks for all the work you guys put into these ROMs, etc. I am so glad I got away from the iPhone. I love the freedom Android gives.
I think I got it!
I tried the superlite ROM by vincom tonight.
I loaded the older dolphin apk and adobe flash apk and viola, it is working now.
His ROM says it is really lite, so I don't know if something he has left out was what was messing with flash in the others ROMs.
The only thing I noticed is that now I get ads when starting the videos. With ICS, it would go straight to the video. But hey, just glad it is working now.

Adobe has an even newer .apk on their site that never made it to the market. Thumb around for it. You wont be able to see flash on chrome at all. Different JB roms act differently with it. Some work, and some don't. The aosp jb wont work with flash, but the official cm10 does.

I did try the cm ROMs. They have the look and feel I like the most. The ROM I mentioned above is the first one on JB I could get flash to work on.
It seems to be good to go now, but I will look for the latest version just to see how it works.

OG Droid running CM10 Jellybean

I recently installed this ROM on my dev phone, and while it's working a lot better than I expected that it could, I have a couple questions:
1) Is there any way to make Pandora stay running? Right now it gets maybe 25% though a song before it crashes. This is from a fresh boot, with no additional apps open, and Pandora running in the foreground.
2) Same thing as above, memory issues. The stock browser randomly closes, and Chrome is impossible.
I know that it's just an alpha, and a nice one at that. Just wondering if anyone could enlighten me a bit.
Thanks!
I think that the OG Droid just doesn't have enough RAM to run ICS and above well. I used CM 9 for a while but flashed to MIUI recently, was blown away by speed
I think 4.0 and 4.1 on the droid are just proof of concepts, not really supposed to work well
