Ok I'm using the stock browser app, and after going to the home page of the phone then going back to the browser app it refreshes the current page. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening?
That happens to me too and I hate it!
I see it's the same on JFv1.43 Holiday and JFv1.43 RC9.

Yea its the browser itself, but its annoyin, and the "stop" command never stops when you press it, or it stops on a blank screen
Don't like it too.
Not sure why it works this way. Should be some reason...
yes its annoying when i finally get mobsters to load, i have noticed some things, if i get a mms message read it, reply and put the phone back in portrait mode, before i click the back button, the screen will normally not refresh, but when switching between multiple browser windows, sometimes it will, sometimes it won't, possibly it cant keep that much information in memory?
Everytime I switch back to Dolphin page it keeps opening loafing Google my set home page. I want it to stay the same page it was last at. It womb do that but its just normal. I tried clearing the set hone page to blank but that just has it launching a blank page still doednt fix thy issue at all I've gone into the habit of pressing back each time there must be a simple solution but I haven't found it in the options..tell and help me please!!!
I had this when I was using a BetterCut shortcut. A normal shortcut seems fine.
Fixed it
Yes that was the problem! Thanks
Say I have my Google Chrome browser open on a webpage that I am reading and I am trying to copy and paste things onto another app, so I am switching back and forth between the app and Google Chrome... The problem is that every time I switch back to Chrome the page refreshes and brings me to the top of the page every time so I get lost from the line I am trying to copy and paste from. Google Chrome used to just switch back to the page and not refresh anything and it would leave me off exactly where I was at on the page. Has anybody else had this problem or know what I'm talking about? Is there a certain setting or something that will make the page stop reloading everytime I switch back? It also happens everytime i switch between tabs too. Please help! Thanks in advance
Hi guys. Just got a new M8 yesterday. All stock for now.
Having an annoying issue where the browser will just randomly reload while reading a webpage. Makes it impossible to read anything as I get partway through and it just refreshes. It's also happened in several apps including Feedly and Facebook and seems to happen on the home screen sometimes as well.
What's up?

Same issue
I am having the same issue and if I am reading a long article, it is very frustrating. Sometimes it refreshes so fast that by the time I find my place in the article again, it refreshes and I lose my spot once again. Any suggestions? I also have the M8 on Verizon.
So my problem seems quiet simple to solve but i can assure you i have tried everything to make my phone work normal again.
Here is everything i have done with my phone so far:
• Rooted
• Flashed Ressurection OS
• Installed costum bootanimation
So long story short, my phone (Samsung Galaxy Alpha) had (since i bought it) a battery problem. At first i thougt it was because of my phone having an Amoled screen that it would consume a lot of energy. I didn't really pay much attention to it but by the time goes, it became worse.
My phone would go from 100% to 40-30% in 15 minutes and shut down instantly with a black screen. At that moment i started realising something wasn't right. So i did some research on how to fix it but i wasn't really finding answers on my questions.
About a week after that i found something saying i could fix it by rooting my phone. Obviously, i did, and i even rooted a costum rom because, why not
next thing i did was install a costum bootanimation and i was really happy with the results.
Finally i installed this app wich apparently removed the batterystats.bin file and would reset the battery's information. I followed all the instructions carefully and did what was recomended
(charge to 100%... etc..), but that is when everything went wrong.
As the instructions said, i had to reboot.
when i did that, the phone didn't turn on automomatically. So i waited a little longer, nothing happens. So i decided to turn it on. And everything seemed working fine. untill the phone shuts down.
Then it would show the charging logo for a fraction of a second and would boot up. as soon as the booting finished it would turn off and do everything all over again with no end. The most annoying part is that the phone doesn't charge because its losing it while booting.
I really need my phone back.
I hope someone can help me out with this

When you installed the new boot animation, I'm assuming that you successfully rebooted the device at least once to test the boot animation before this issue started?
If you have a removable battery, try removing the battery and waiting 30 minutes then re-insert the battery and try booting it.
You may have to charge the battery with some kind of external charger to do the following suggestions. Try to fix this without having to wipe or reflash the device, save those options as last resort.
You can try booting to recovery and flashing the stock boot animation or use adb push to place a copy of the stock boot animation back to its location. Wipe cache and Dalvik/ART cache then reboot.
Boot to custom recovery and select the "wipe" option, then select the "advanced wipe" option, then select system, data, cache and dalvik/ART cache partitions, then wipe those partitions. Then go back to home screen in recovery, then reflash your ROM and Gapps the way you did the first time. This will wipe all of your data but might fix the issue.
Finally, you can boot to download mode and flash the stock firmware for your model number via Odin.
On a side note, the amount of battery drain you were experiencing brings one question to mind.
Did you have Facebook, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Instagram, KiK or any other social media/texting apps installed? If so, that explains the excessive battery usage, especially Facebook and Facebook Messenger. A workaround to the drain caused by these two apps is to uninstall them both and use your mobile browser to view Facebook and your Facebook messages instead. This gets rid of the constant drain of these two apps and also frees up internal storage.
Here is how to set this up to use your browser instead.
Go to Facebook in your browser, get logged in, if you have the option to remember your login information, do it. Then, tap the menu button in your browser, if you have the option to "add to homescreen", select it, if you don't have that option, select the option to create a bookmark instead, then go to your widget settings and add that bookmark to your homescreen as a widget, this allows you to tap it to open Facebook whenever you want just like the app.
Then, in Facebook settings, go to your notifications settings, set it to give you all of your notifications via text or via your Gmail account, if you choose to use Gmail, this will send your notifications to your Gmail app on your device. You will also have to go to your Gmail app then open its settings and set it to give you a notification when an email comes in, this will allow you to still recieve your Facebook and messenger notifications the same as you would if you had the apps. Facebook will end your notifications to Gmail and Gmail will give you a notification in your device's status bar, the two work together.
This setup will allow you to view Facebook the same as the app would without using nearly as much battery as the Facebook app uses.
To view and reply to your Facebook messages, when you are viewing Facebook in your browser, tap the menu button in browser. Then select the "desktop site" option, when it re-loads the page, select the messenger icon at the top of your Facebook page, then you can read and reply to your messages the same as you would in Facebook Messenger but without using nearly as much battery as Facebook Messenger. If you want to make it more convenient than that, you might even be able to find a way to create an another bookmark just for the messages page like you did for the Facebook page and then set this bookmark to automatically load with the "desktop site", this will eliminate the need to select "desktop site" every time you want to check your messages.
If you do it right, you will have two bookmarks on homescreen, one to replace the Facebook app and one to replace Facebook Messenger, all of the same functionality with two less apps installed and two less apps draining battery. You'll have to play with a while to get used to it and set up the way you need it but I suggest you try something like this instead of those apps.

Alright, so i have tried every single method and read very carefully what to do. Still the same problem, i didn't use facebook or facebook messenger.
Is there any way possible that:
removing the old "lpm" file in "/system/bin"
and creating another file with the same name, open it as text, and writing:
#!/system/bin/sh
sleep 40 (it will so nothing for 40 sec then reboot)
/system/bin/reboot
will work? (i want to be sure if this is not going to do anything bad)
Thank you foe your help i really apreciate it
I am having the same issue. Originally the phone would charge in a powered off state and just the green battery would show up briefly...when fully charged it would pop back up indicating so. Now, as soon as I plug in the wall charger or the USB to the computer, it reboots and powers on. All I have done is enable the on-board battery saver. I would prefer to charge it overnight in a powered off state so I don't get notifications...I could put it on silent, but it should charge while off. If I shut it down while charging, it immediately reboots.
