My Galaxy Note 10.1's stock browser no longer downloads files for some reason. I press something I want it to download, and it'll say "starting download" like normal, but the notification doesn't come up in the notifications bar like it normally does, and nothing downloads. Chrome has no problems downloading.
I think I know why this happens (though I'd be surprised if this was it): after a website tried to download a file to my Galaxy Note 10.1 one morning, I hastily disabled some kind of download process or service thinking...well, I was half asleep, so probably wasn't thinking I would think though that if I disabled it, then it'd just reenable itself next time I went to download something.
Any ideas why this is happening?
another browser?
not sure with the problem..
using another browser like Maxthon or Boat maybe help you download

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

Has anyone experienced this or has this been discussed in any thread for the TF? But my stock browser often closes unexpectedly with no force close message and returns to the home screen. When reopened, it forgets the recently the opened pages. Very, very annoying..

I got this a few times last night. It happened mainly on large/busy sites. I think this is an issue that will be rectified with the future 3.1 update.

Had it happen once or twice in the past 3 weeks. I think it is just an HC stability issue.
It seems to happen to me more often after I updated to the latest Adobe Flash 10.3.
Ditto. It has happened here every once and a while... But not enough to bother me.. I assume it will be addressed later.
This happened about 3 times yesterday evening while I was browsing. I don't know if it is related to a HC stability bug, or an Adobe Flash bug, although I'm more inclined towards the former, because I can browse perfectly fine with my Atrix on Flash 10.3. Also, I noticed a strange thing for the first time yesterday: When the browser crashes with no FC message, and you restart it back again, I get a screen filled with banding and multi-colored interference. Only way to fix it is to restart. I hope all of this gets taken care of with 3.1, because the browser experience really leaves something to be desired on 3.0.1 in my opinion. It just does not handle any heavy pages at all, let alone any embedded videos or just videos period.
happens when you try surfing to gmail
If you would like to see it crash 100% of the time, go to your gmail and try to open a message
It also freaks out in Gmail main page.
I was having browser crashes as well until the sudden disk space full error. After my factory reset the browser crashes have gone away. I wonder if they are related.
I got it twice in 3 weeks. It happened both times on Yahoo's ain page.
Happens to me also but never loses its place.
3.1
i first noticed this happening last night, 2nd night after updating to 3.1. never happened before that. i don't have the screen timeout on so the screen will stay on so i can see my moves list at a glance on a website. after about 10-15 minutes of not touching device it will just suddenly return to the homescreen and if i open browser it has to reload the page. i thought maybe it was something to do with the built in android memory management auto killing the browser, since there doesn't appear to be any flash on the page.
i too am having this problem.
Stock browser is where it started, so I go Dolphin HD and it still happens. So its not the browser itself it would seem, since 2 different browsers both do it.
There HAS to be a fix for this...
Since the 3.1 update I'm seeing something different - The browser simply stops responding after a while.

I to am having trouble with my browser. I am experiencing it ceasing to function aftwr awhile as l as frequent crashing when I load it. Crashes all the time if I type anything or use the menu if Ido so before it finishes loading my home page.
When your updated to 3.1, click reset all in the settings menu. Then when it's finish go into the browser settings and set plugins to be on demand. I'm able to run well like that it is flash that kills it, soon as you click the flash content to enable it on a page it may crash.
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.
Hi, Not sure if this is the best place for this question?
I am having an issue with Dolphin Browser, my phone is a samsung galaxy s2, i am using the custom rom PAC all-in-1 rom, android 4.2.2. i am using the latest version of dolpin browser 9.4.1.
The issue i am having is every 3rd or 4th time i open the app, my front screen shortcuts will be gone (most of the time when i open the app they are there), but sometimes they are not, and if i try to go to a webpage sometimes nothin happens, i dont get a bar showing that a page is loading etc..
the only way around this is for me to close the brower completely via the task manager then restart it, then it will normally load fine and all shortcut tabs will be on my front screen etc..
its just been happening a lot recently and would like to ask if its a known issue?
Would anyone know why this happens or how to fix it?
thanks

For the past few months now my wife's Tab 2 has been misbehaving, it is consistently crashing with certain apps (mainstream ones, not random junk) most noticeably the stock browser (making that unusable) - the browser starts and displays the menu and tab bar, but does not display any webpage or url and then will crash within 5 seconds without doing anything, thus returning to the home screen. Similar behaviour is seen when using the Google search widget, I type in a word, press the magnifying glass to search it pauses a long time then closes and goes back to the home screen.
Lots of apps work absolutely fine but about 30% don't, and it is pretty consistent if the work they always work, if they don't work they usually crash at the same point. I did wonder if it was a certain function or driver that triggers the crash or possibly more likely there is a hardware failure.
The tablet is completely stock and up to date. I have tried doing a factory reset and restored everything, that didn't work. I tried a factory reset and restored nothing (setting up no accounts not even a Google one and installed nothing) but still I get the same behaviour. I have tried wiping the cache partition as recommended on many websites (http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-8015). I have also tried running the Internet in Safe Mode, all with the same result of the app closing and going back to the home screen.
Does anyone have any suggestions or even something different to try?
(Ideally I didn't want to root it or use a custom ROM, but I may have to try this if nothing else can be suggested, I have my doubts whether this would fix it.)
I reported this issue to Samsung 21 days out of warranty and they want me to send it to the repair centre to get a quote whilst re-iterating that it was out of warranty.
I can't remember how or where from but I followed some instructions to log what was happening, please find that attached. A quick search for "died" will show where the issue occurs.
Thanks for reading, I hope someone can help as my wife has all but given up on using the tablet.
Thanks
Craig

Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (Wi-Fi)
Model: GT-P5110TSABTU
Android Version: 4.2.2
Build Number: JDQ39.P5110XXDNH2
Internet Application Version 4.2.2-P5110XXDNH2
Anyone know if this is likely to be a hardware issue?
I'm currently charging it up ready to flash with CM12.1, always wanted to try it and it can't do much harm now and may even fix it!
Thanks for looking anyway.
Here's a tip, go with CM11 snapshot, cm12 is buggy and when you least expect it you get stuck with a bootloop. And drop the native browser and use Chrome.
This tab 2 isn't up to cm12, I was running CM11 for over a year with no issues whatsoever and speed and processor speed equal to my son's Nexus 10.
I t tried CM12 and after 2 weeks it went haywire, I'm not a flashaholic, I use my tab for Internet browsing, youtube and play one game Plants vs Zombies.
I get great battery life and everything works the way it's supposed to.
This a typical screen shot of my tablet in sleep mode.
