So when using Dolphin browser on my S6, and visiting some sites [replicable for me loading up imgur.com ] the browser freezes up midway through loading it, and the page becomes unresponsive. A few seconds later the screen goes black, and brings me back to the home screen of the phone. After this, my wallpaper would be reverted to default, and while plugged into my computer I would lose access to the sd card.
Has anyone else experienced a crash like that from Dolphin on their s6?
I've since uninstalled it and have been using chrome for now.
Hi, Same problem with my S6 Edge and dolphin browser. I think we should wait for an update from dolphin and it will be solved.
If you have jetpack enabled. Try disabling and/or uninstalling it. Worked for me.

Hello, you can send a report when you encountred the freeze/crash issue again via Dolphin Settings> About > Send Feedback > Not responding/Stopped unexpectedly. After all, the issue you described seems complicated.

They actually fixed it a month or two after the phone came out. It was in the changelog. Still, too long for such an unusable bug. I moved to chrome and haven't gone back.

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.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
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.
Am I the only one who's browser had been made useless by 3.2? Whenever I scroll the screen redraws in large blocks, or the entire page flashes white and takes several seconds to redraw the entire thing. The browsing experience gets slower and slower until the browser closes. Not a force close, it just disappears, leaving me at the desktop.
I even did a security wipe, thinking maybe that might fix it. No luck yet.
I have seen a few issues where the browser just vanishes and my tab state is lost. Some times when watching flash videos they disappear now, and this may be more of a flash issue but sometimes if I move my tablet and it tries to reorient (landscape/portrait) flash will just give me a big '!' and I'll have to start over. Just a couple things I've seen since 3.2.

I have add-ons set to on demand, so I doubt flash is whats causing the crashes.
I hate the lag when you type and I find the fact that you can't download certain kinds of files just stupid. I switched to opera mobile for said reasons. I wish they would fix and improve the stock browser because I like how fast it is in general (apart from the horrible typing lag).

Same problems here also.
Found something interesting: the dock is causing the problem. When undocked, the tablet performance is great. When docked, the performance tanks (in addition to the browser redraw problems).
Hope this gets fixed in the next patch.
I have been using Dolphin browers & it isn't much better. The typing lag is better but it still has issues. I'll be typing along & then come to apoint where I cannot backspace. This will happen with both the stock & Dolphin. I have used Opera but it is a little slower. I have also had the stock browser just close on me too like others. I am not sure if there is abrowser issue or a Honeycomb issue. I wish these issues would get resolved.
Also to note my issue have be worse since the three.two update. See I cannot even type numbers. I should be this & just want to toss my trasformer out the window.

Same issues undocked here. Browser crashes constantly. Notice it on forums usually. Typing is fine, but deleting or backspace sucks ass.
I wish the browser would just not crash. The only thing that really pisses me off.
I wonder if the Xoom is having simular issues.

This has been happening to me a lot lately. Pretty annoying that's for sure. I also have some issues with trying to search in the web address window. It just doesn't work right. Sometimes i get unexpected operations too.
The closing is mostly when browsing forums...what I do quite a bit unfortunately.
ok so it's not just me! I just got my tab a couple days ago and was shocked at the browser performance. Anyone have same issue in custom rom?
Im having the same keyboard lagg, and poor browser performance. Using Dolphin for tab now which is a bit better. Also im using hackers keyboard(market). Together This increases the responsiveness, but its still poor for a tablet with these specs. Especially flash video playback is way better with dolphin.
Im also interrested if custom roms have these problems too.
hi everyone!
just want to bump thhis thread, I have had this problem for some time. i don't like to post on the forum, i just search. However, this is pissing me off beyond belief!
It happens on both my stock browser and dolphin for pad, like has been said, mainly happens on forums (I do spend most of my internet time on them). Most times i'll be scrolling a page or trying to press a link, other times i am not even touching the tablet and turn off
can anyone shed some light on this for me please? is there anything i can do to stop this?
Download & install Opera. It is by far the best browser out there. The stock browser is just plain horrible & the Dolphin tablet browser isn't much better.
Try Firefox. I think the best browser.

Im on revolver Tom
Blades kernel
Thumb keyboard
And the improvement is clearly present. No lag while typing.
I had tried clemsy kernel 20 and 21 but noticed my page loads were extremely slow plus several times they would just hang forcing me to reboot.
I tried dolphin..stock..and opera and all lagged bad
I'm now back to browsers and have yet to have a major issue. Was actually tuning fantasy foootball flash app off their website with no issues.
A little off topic but is there a way to always keeps the toolbar docked on dolphin? I would also like a hone button always present. Is this possible?
As above im on revolver with blades and im still getting block loading and type lag on some sites. especially the ones with a chat box. Only really appears to be forums. I dont get it with opera but its the time it takes to load.
I have the same issue. The stock browser or dolphin for tablet shutdown without any message (no force close), principaly on forum too...
I'll try Opera to see if it's better.
Any news from Asus about this problem ? Is it a know issue ?

This is a well known issue. This dead horse is kicked on an daily basis in multiple threads

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.
I have a brand new HTC One X on att, and I have been using chrome for awhile now and all of a sudden it stops cooperating. Specifically when you try to load a web page it shows that it is loading, but never actually shows the web page and you can keep clicking refresh and it does the same thing. Also at the same time if you click the button to view open tabs the top of the screen changes, but the rest stays white and you cant see the open tabs. I have uninstalled the app a few times and re-installed and the problems persist so I am stuck using the stock web browser which isn't as bad as chrome but does have some annoying features. Has anyone else experienced this problem with chrome?

It's not a phone specific issue, I've run in to that before too. Sometimes clearing the apps data and cache in 'Android Settings>Apps.'
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
James
