Back button in browser does not always work - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I'm having an issue with the back hardware key while using the stock internet browser. Sometimes, the button brings me back to the page I was on previously, but other times it just reloads the current page. This gets frustrating, as to go back ill have to hit the back button 10-15 X at times. Also, hitting "back" under the menu produces the same effect.
I know some websites have some way of directing you back to their page when you try to go back, as I've experienced this in my desktop. But this seems to be happening at random. I suppose I can't say for sure that it's the browser and my the website though. I've noticed this on the stock att rom, venom, and now infobar. Has anyone else experienced this?
I would try some different browsers, but it's nice having the stock browser log into my Gmail immediately and retrieve my bookmarks after flashing a new rom...

This has happened to me for almost as long as i could remember. i always thought it was android in general not just our device.

Have you tried using zram in the kernel? (ElementalX kernel) It has helped me with the "reloading" problem.

It's not a reloading problem, it is a problem of trying to go back one page.

Bump? This is bugging the hell out of me. Running the latest viper with bulletproof v2. I haven't messed around with zram...didn't work so hot when I had it while running elemental.

Short of downloading dolphin browser or some other that you may prefer, there is really no fix. The browser is closing the windows behind you as you leave them. You might try a clean install and stock or vanilla kernel. Bulletproof gave me a few issues when I tried it.

I notice this too. My best advice would be a third party browser. Use Chrome perhaps? I like the stock browser. I just got into the habit of bringing up history and jumping back that way. It also reduces the amount of time and data wasted on pressing back through several pages.

New facebook update

Does anyone have the problem where all the original posts are fine but when you scroll down to where it has to update, it shows all those updates as text only without pictures or anything.

Your not going crazy bud. I think were all getting the same thing. I bet Facebook is going to release another update... just a matter of time.
My issues started 2 days ago. Sometimes when scrolling it just goes to loading and never loads :banghead:

Facebook is working fine for me here.
My FB app is 2 versions old and I'm having the same issues. On top of it, my pull to refresh just decided it doesnt want to work anymore.

Same problem here. I noticed it happening before this update but just not as much.
After I updated I started noticing the same thing (just text). I went to my settings and just reverted all the updates back and will wait until the Facebook app is fixed. Works better now, but chat won't load.
Mine did this the first day after updating, just tested it again and I'm not having any issues.
Noobest thing ever, try a restart!
Facebook on the computer is all screwed up for me, not just my phone. Notifications aren't working, I can't see comments, etc... Doesn't matter if its the app, phone browser or computer browser. Not sure what is going on.

Aokp home button acting up

So today my sensation running aokp started acting weird, basically whenever I touched the home button it makes a click noise and the screen goes white then back to the app I was in. The only way to get it to work again is to reboot it.
Does anyone know why this would happen and how I could prevent it?
Thanks in advance for your help

Bump. Does no one know why?

looks like a software bug.
if u use a custom rom try reflashing after backing up ur data.
a nandroid is also recommended.
if u are on stock... send it to htc

Am I the only one with this issue?

If you'll look at the screenshot below, you can see the weird duplicates on my screen. I don't remember when it started happening but I think it was after the upgrade to jelly bean. Any thoughts?

No, I don't have that issue. However, when I.ran CM10 for a couple days, I noticed that it would sometimes lag and show it double like that. I fixed this by turning off force gpu render in settings. It did this on my Nexus also, so it may be a CM10/Jellybean render issue.
Doh my bad, I didn't see mention of cm so thought you had official jb.
Then I open my eyes an see your screeny an see its cm, sorry.
I used to see it commonly, but haven't seen it on newest experimental versions.
As suggested, check in your settings.

Don't seem to have that issue. Maybe the problem of your ROM

I have a galaxy s3, but mine did this as well. To fix it, use titanium backup and freeze the stock keyboard and make sure to set swift key as default. It will or should keep swift key as your primary keyboard

I use SwiftKey as well and started to see this issue after moving to a JB ROM .... apparently, it's a know issue affecting paid apps on Android 4.1.1
Per SwiftKey support page:
"The issue is that Google Play installs paid apps in a particular location on your phone and that in some versions of Android (particularly 4.1 on Samsung devices) this location is not available at the point in the boot process where keyboards are being switched on. So your phone does not know that you have SwiftKey, and it defaults back to the phone's keyboard.
We are unable to control where Google Play installs the app, and also unable to do anything about the way in which your phone boots up, so we are essentially powerless."
Any devs think up a solution to this??!

Awwww. I just had a similar experience. I dropped mine down a service elevator shaft... Don't ask. I still don't know how it happened. So far so good on the ROM. I'll tinker more in the morning.
Hi, not is just me but screenshot not working, power+home.
When doing the picture, the keyboard does not show smile icon etc, just dark keyboard. That's all I found so far
LOL I'm not sure I'm brave enough to be the first to try this out. XD

I just meant that I've been out of the flashing scene for about a year until recently and this phone has a different method, plus the fact that it took me 2 days to get everything backed up, set back up how I like, etc. I've lost my nerve I guess. I used to be a serial flasher of roms back in the Eris days. New rom that nobody's tried yet? Sure thing. These days I'm even hesitant to flash something if it's tried and true and nobody is seeing any problems. Plus the fact that my hardware is messed up. (I dropped it in water twice by accident and the screen also broke in a separate incident)

Damn, still working after water twice, nice! Just do a backup before, so if you don't like it, you can restore everything you had. And, if your S-ON, remember to flash boot.img separately.

Yeah, it's a good thing I always keep rice in the house in easy reach. But the phone is fine except that neither camera works. Pretty annoying seeing as the camera is so awesome on the HOS.
Will be definitely trying this, I was wondering, you think this might help my losing signal issues, getting the X all the time it's driving me nuts lol. I am with Cincinnati Bell but i think they work through T-mobile. Anyway thanks for this bud much appreciated.
ROM looks great man, downloading now and will flash tomorrow. Hope I don't have the WiFi issue anymore, reaaally wanna use this
I'm having the same gps problem I have with Viper; when you go to a site thru Chrome that desires location access, gps never turns on! It turns on for Maps and other things when you test it, but not through Chrome. Browser works tho, strangely...

Sounds like a Chrome issue maybe. I haven't touched any GPS items yet, so its either Chrome, or something T-Mobile jacked up.

Are you pressing it quickly or holding it for a few seconds. Mine works perfectly, but you should be pressing Power+Volume Down, which is stock for this ROM.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
I think I may have found the issue with Chrome...I believe I deleted a ChromeBackgroundSync apk on accident. This may be causing the issue...maybe not, but I'll put it back and test. If it works I'll release an update tonight...if I'm not lost in Double XP Weekend on Black Ops 2
