[Q] problem opening chrome from other apps - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been having a problem with chrome on my z3 for a while. When I click a link from another app chrome will open but the page will not load. This tab then becomes useless, refreshing or trying to go to a different site does nothing, going back out of the tab and clicking the link again, chrome will open and load the page as normal. This happens from all applications, Facebook, Google app, appygamer etc.
Anyone know why or how to fix this?

Try this. Settings > Apps > All. Scroll to Chrome and select it. Wait for it to load a bit then 'Clear data' and clear defaults too.
Btw, i also recommend trying Firefox for android. It's good.

It's a multitasking issue. Reboot your phone every 100 hours and it will be ok

I'm having this issue too, never had the problem on another phone. Just got my wife a Z3 compact (moving from Z1 compact) and hers now does the same.
Without closing any tabs or apps if we copy and paste the link in to an incognito tab it works fine
once this problem starts, even typing in an address in Chrome loads nothing.
Rebooting every few days should not be a solution for a modern phone.

I know it's not a solution but until they fix this it's a workaround.
There's a huge problem with memory management. Maybe @jarpelea knows how to solve it

opera browser wont keep me logged into XDA

anyone else finding that Opera browser keeps logging you out of XDA ? every time i click ... even to submit this thread ... it asks me to log in again !
is this a setting ive screwed up somewhere ???
Not sure if this will help you, but I've been using Opera for months now & have never had any trouble with XDA (or any other site) logging out.
I do find that sometimes buttons next to forms are missing though.
{{edit}}
I take it you have cookies enabled?
everything used to be fine but its been like this for a while. i have to log in to post a msg and then log back in again after i submit ... grrrr
Many people have reported this, including myself. It is a bug. Unfortunately, the devs of opera aren't willing to admit it's a bug. Their response has been that they couldn't replicate it.
Thanks. Looks like I will have to live with it. Shame as opera handles most stuff so well on the tf
I never had this issue until I rooted on Wednesday the 5th. The only other thing that changed was that flash player was updated to V11. With V11 videos would not longer play. I am not convinced that it has anything to do with Opera but I could be wrong.
XDA acts like it logged me in because it does the redirect. Then my info doesn't show on the page & when I try to post it asks me to log in again. Has anyone found a solution to this?
Go into your application manager and wipe data. Should work from now on.

Thanks. The only problem with doing that is all of your bookmarks are deleted too.
Is there a way to backup my opera bookmarks without syncing? I need to clear all of the opera data from the program manager which will delete all of my bookmarks.

Opera Link will do the job.

No Internet Access, Other Data Services Working

Woke up this morning and switched from WIFI to my normal Simple Mobile account just before leaving the house for work. All of a sudden I cannot get online, I can use the FB ap, Gmail, Maps, but when I open either Dolphin, or Browser, I get the following error:
COMVERSE (name of the tab)
internal error access is not allowed for this user agent in www.google.com/
Happens for any web site.
Must be service provider problem....
Hmm, ok. I'll give them a call later on. Thanks.

It's fine, i'll figure out the browser problems later. I see that a few people have the CM9 beta ROM for their G2X's, where is the ROM downloaded at? I can't find anything in the development page.
It's in the general section.....Search in the ICS threads over here cuz I am not allowed to repost the link...

Thats cool, just got this one...is it the same for you? "update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-selfKANG1-G2x-signed.zip"
yeah....but the gapps are somewhere on rootwiki with face unlock thing !!
To get browser to work in CM9 with mobile data you have to press menu and select request desktop site.
You welcome! It has something to do with the internal settings of the stock browser. Also an alternative to this is to download an alternate browser such as dolfin browser or opera

So i'm looking for the Android 4.0 google ap pack, right? I hope simple mobile will work with 4.0, not sure why it wouldnt...but I guess I will find out!
I also found the camera fix for 4.0, so once i find the google aps, i'm ready to flash a little later on.
I think i just found them, recommends me a specific .apk for CM9. downloading now.
thanks for the help!

This isn't a SERVICE issue. It's your phone.
I used to have the same thing on another phone running CM7.
It's because your user agent in android is f'ked up.
Try this:
MORE -> Settings -> scoll all the way down to "Select User Agent"
Try other user agent setting other than Android, and you should connect.
Try IE6, iphone, etc...
The only fix is to install a correct user agent for android.
I've been searching all over for a fix to: "access is not allowed for this user agent." My stock browser has no settings to change user agent. Switching to iphone user agent was a workaround in the Dolphin browser settings, BUT...
With great joy I have discovered that problem was my Proxy entry in my Simple Mobile APN. Once I removed the proxy info, the user agent problem was solved!
Strange, because a few months ago the proxy was what I needed to connect, but now it was just causing problems.
I should look at dates on old posts more often.... delete this.

keep getting "oops google chrome cannot connect to" error

APNs are correct?
Yes everything is correct. It doesn't happen all the time. Only certain emails or google reader links don't work, appreciate all help

Maybe not related, but chrome is pure garbage compared to AOSP browser (like the one in nexus and galaxy nexus)..Pull the.apk from one of those device and copy it to system/apps

Address bar suggestions not showing up in Chrome

For some reason today, when I type a search query or URL in the address bar in Chrome, no predictions are coming up. I have the 'Search and URL suggestions' box ticked in settings/privacy.
I tried switching the search engine to Yahoo instead of Google and started getting suggestions again, but I much prefer the suggestions that Google makes. I've tried restarting my phone, clearing data from Chrome in Apps, Force closing Chrome, uninstalling updates to Chrome etc. Nothing.
Does anyone have any idea how I can get address bar predictions to come back?
Thanks
Same issue here.

I've got the same issue too, and just noticed this today! But I have an HTC One M8 (AT&T version).
See my Google product forums post about this:
https://productforums.google.com/fo...e=footer#!msg/chrome/xTTHziAr1C0/9b7w4CHSiQYJ
Maybe if others reply to my thread on there (stating that you also have the problem) Google will take notice of it?
Interestingly the search suggestions *do* show up if I use Google Now or Firefox or default HTC browser, or pretty much in any other app (even Google Play) that uses Google search. Just not in Chrome (any more).
As my thread says, it *used* to work in Chrome just fine. If I try to "uninstall" Chrome, meaning roll it back to the oldest default version that came with the phone, then Google search suggestions again work just fine. But then soon Chrome auto-updates and it doesn't work again.
So… since I'm not the only one experiencing this, I'm thinking that a recent Chrome update must have caused this, in which case a lot more people should be noticing it soon… I hope. I'm not sure when the latest Chrome update was, or if this only effects certain devices, or what.
Anyway, if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, please share!
thanks

So I looked further into it, and it's "Google Instant" and apparently it'snot working on a bunch of phones, including the LG G2... I can't tell if its an LG thing or Android thing. Apparently Chrome Beta has this issue as well... but not on my Chrome Desktop
Can confirm this started happening to my phone too. Seems to be a problem with clearing history too. Weird.

Ah is it all phones or just a few models?
Same issue here. Not exactly sure when it stopped working...
I get this to. I think it started last night. If i uninstall and go back to the preinstalled chrome found in kitkat 4.4.2 it works fine. Or if I switch to bing as search engine It will work.
trying to google it I'm not getting too much for this. So I'm thinking it might be just us 4.4.2 users???
Hope it gets fixed soon
I thought it was only me. Spent an hour or so trying to figure it out. Hopefully gets sorted out soon.

I too am having similar issues and can't find a single suggestion that fixes the problem. When I type in the address bar, auto suggestions do appear, but they are only from my search history and bookmarks. None of them are search suggestions like when using google.com.
I did follow the instructions provided to enable Google Suggestions in the address bar, then use Ctrl+K to place the cursor in the Omnibox to conduct a search, and begin to enter query you will receive query suggestions. That is, when Google.com is the default search engine.

Thanks for the advice. I think you're referring to the desktop browser whereas we are all referring to the Chrome browser on the Nexus 5.
My search predictions seem to be back again which is good. Has anyone else got theirs back?
Mine's working again.

Why each switch from Chrome and Open Others and back to Chrome Reload the Web again?

Does this Chrome issues or Moto G 2015 issues? We have Moto G 2015 1GB RAM 8GB ROM, each time browse using Chrome and open one or two pages... then switch to others app example Twitter or Facebook.. then back to Chrome Tabs this Page Reload again... what happen? does this Chrome issues or Moto G 2015 issues?
Another issues is, if we open new tab in Chrome the page not open in the background.. the website/page will be load when we switch to this Tab... does any clue about it?
Thanks

Most Chrome reload issues are due to lack of free RAM. It can be a demanding browser.

That could be an understatement, it was the most demanding app on my phone until I removed it.
Might try this once
It's also kind of site you use. For example, few sites have pop ads networks so that you are forced to install or visit an app or site. So it all depends on your browsing.
If it was opening without accessing any site, then try to uninstall and then reinstall it with the latest version.
can you tell us, what you recommended browser right now?
Try These
Firstly, if it was with site, then you don't need to try other browsers. Because it's the site that causing issues.
Secondly, you can try firefox or opera they are also best but not recommend to use until if you are give it up with chrome.

Try Maxthon as an alternative, it is really good, probably my favorite mobile browser.

Yes, I'm rooted and I uninstalled it. I didn't try, but I think it can be disabled which won't give you all the space back but will stop the memory usage.
