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.
since I'm a new member, I don't have permissions to post in the development forum, which is ridiculous ... I get fighting spam, but this is silly, as I'm sure I'm gonna get yelled at for posting my question in general ...
oh well, here goes:
I just installed Pyr'o'Ice ICS Desensed 1.1.2 and everything is working great so far, with the exception of two things:
1. the native browser never works, always crashes, but its no biggie I can use Chrome.
2. I cannot set any custom notifications or ringtones as that dialog ALWAYS crashes. so I'm stuck with stock sounds ...
I can't complain, coming from a stock MT4GS Sense UI this is a big change, but still I would like to report these issues to the ROM developer so they can be aware ... but XDA wont let me post there ... so here's hoping he'll see the post here.
which he probably wont...
if anybody's got any tips to solve my problem, that'll be great, otherwise, I'll keep posting my findings until I hit that magical number that will finally let me post into the development forums ...
Well, you're wrong. Nobody is going to yell at you for posting this here. What would have gotten you yelled at is if you started this thread in the development section.

The browser issue is a known issue. As for the rest did you do a full wipe after installing the rom?
sent from a Nokia 3210
Well, aside the situation when memory gets low, browser is fine here. Also sound changin works.
Do u have custom ringtones on your sdcard?
sent from HTC Doubleshot pyroiced
Browser, and sound selection all work fine for me. Try full wipe if you didn't do so earlier. If you already did, try redownloading.
@tbalden - I have custom ringtones/notifications/alarms on my SD card and it doesn't affect the behavior or cause any problems.
I'm not certain I did a full wipe (still new at this) but I'll try again.
Also another problem related to the notifications, now whenever a new notification starts, it never stops, and they overlap so after a few emails, its a crazy mix of sounds playing all at once.
quite annoying.
Just to be certain, how do I do a full wipe?
in recovery:
1 factory reset/wipe data
2 wipe cache
3 wipe dalvik cache
Full wipe worked.
Notifications now work, gonna play around and see what else, if anything, is broken.
Thanks.
I had problems with sending text messages. Auto-complete didn't work. I'd have to know the phone number. Similarly, in gmail, I tried emailing my friend Jean... i started typing "Jea".. several choices showed up, but none that I recognized (from some really old emails perhaps).

Another bug I found was with the power down button. I held the power button down, and selected reboot, then changed my mind so I cancelled it. Tried again, but selected power off. It prompted me to reboot instead, hit ok; the phone rebooted instead of powering off.

Contact name autocomplete seems to work based on phone numbers, but not people names. So, if I was to type in a phone number, it will find it in my address book.

The Power off reboot issue is a UI problem. When you power off, it says reboot. But its powering off, I've never had a power off reboot issues. Try wiping cache, might helps.

Pretty stable now after the full wipe.
However I'm still having a number of issues still with crashing apps and ui dialogs ...
But before I start posting all the individual issues I'm having, I was wondering if there is a way to monitor/view the syslog?
I'm clueless when it comes to android dev, but I've got enough linux and software development under my belt to figure what went wrong.
I did a number of searches but nothing came up other than hooking the device up to computer and looking at the logs there, I was hoping for something like an app so I can view these problems on the fly.

If apps are crashing from restored backup, you might want to do a fresh install, otherwise you need to find out if they are compatible with ICS

I just tried to power off, it prompted me to power off (not reboot), I confirmed, and it shut down completely.
I started it back up, Selected Reboot, then cancel. Selected Power Off, and it prompts me to Reboot, which I confirmed, and it restarted instead of shutting down.
I just did this twice. Does not seems like just a UI issue. It recalls the fact that I first selected Reboot. Does not do the opposite. So, if I first selected Power Off, cancel, then Reboot, it will reboot correctly.
I'm never going back to android 2. Here's a few other small things I found in 1.1.2:
There are 2 different Gallery apps installed. On purpose?
Under Manage Apps, I found several apps I can't access anywhere, maybe they're not apps, but here they are: Bubbles, Black Hole, Phase Beam.
Sim Toolkit won't run. It say "SIM Toolkit is not ready or unsupported".
Street View is installed, but Maps is not.

The battery drained overnight because I forgot to plug it in. I got it charging now, however, when i turn it on, com.android.phone keeps crashing every 2 seconds.
Wiped cache and dalvik cache.. no effect. From Manage Apps, I cleared data for the Contacts app. It stopped... I rebooted.. it's back.

Purchased my Droid Razr HD on launch day and I must say I was in love with the phone on ICS. Was extremely excited when the JB update hit. But since I updated, my phone has been a complete mess. I have been patient in hopes it would fix itself, but below are some of the issues.
When I unlock the phone, the clock in the circle widget lags, so I will unlock, it will say 2:00 for a solid second or two, then update to 2:10. The time should not lag like that. It basically lags and adjusts every time I unlock it. If I haven't touched my phone in 45 minutes, I'll unlock, it will say 2:00, then two seconds goes by and it updates to 2:45
When I hit messaging to view my texts, all of my contacts show up as just phone numbers, then after a few seconds the names load. If I scroll down further they are still numbers then switch to names.
The browser goes unresponsive. Everything from inability to swap tabs, to hitting a link. Usually I'll force stop chrome.
Overall the entire phone experiences major lag issues. Typing, swapping apps, etc... Anyone else experience this? Could the phone have just downloaded the OS poorly?

It's seriously making me want to dump this phone.
Indeed there is lag. Here's a funny thing, I get lag using the stock launcher and swiping the page from left to right with the any of the stock image wallpapers loaded.
However, if I use a live wallpaper (say Phase Beam) the swiping from left to right with the live wallpaper active is blisteringly quick.. How fcuked up is that?
I am having the same issue. I factory reset the phone before flashing JB. I also have times that the phone is completely unresponsive and requires a hard reboot. Any ideas?
there is definite lag when scrolling over to the quick settings page, idk why motorola can't get that fixed. My big complaint is the lack of stock android browser. I hate chrome, its slow compared to the aosp browser. I actually bought another Galaxy Nexus and am going back to that. Will miss the battery life though. You could always use the utility in the dev section to go back to ICS though
I used the utility to go back to ICS. I didn't have lag issues, actually my phone on JB was much faster and smoother. I went back because of all of the features missing from JB. For instance:
1) Motorola keyboard (much better than the AOSP keyboard in JB IMO)
2) Manage internal storage feature (gone in JB)
3) Wired headphone equalizer in ICS works on anything coming out of the headphone jack. (In JB it only works in the music app)
4) Also there is a bug where if you are listening to music through headphones and get a text message, the notification only comes through at less than half volume and there is no pause in the music. I have missed several text messages because of this. Even if i know the sms is coming through and i see it appear on the screen i still can't hear it over the music
I'm sure there were a few more things i am missing, but those were enough for me to switch back.
same lagg here
on ics, adw launcher heped with my lagg, but on jb, doesnt seem to matter what launcher i use, lagg everywhere. unlocking is annoying and sms app takes a bit to populate. cant wait for a solid cm 10.1 for this. I feel like its the only fix.
I would have thoght since motorola is owned by google, the os would be as good as the nexus. NOT even close
Not the ideal solution, but have you guys tried doing a full wipe factory reset and/or wiping the cache partition?
My Razr HD has just started developing a "dim" screen from waking after a long period. Not sure if this is software or hardware, it doesnt happen all the time - maybe once a day - but I have to go to the display settings and check/uncheck the auto brightness box to fix it....
Any of you out there having a similar issue??
I installed nova launcher prime and it is extremely smooth.

What? I tried to get to the stock recovery, but I cannot seem to get past the "dead android" screen no matter what button combination I try.
Edit: you have to be really precise when holding down the volume up and down buttons lol
Is it hold down the power/lock button, then tap volume up? Think that's the combo on my Nexus S
I've been trying to figure out this lag thing too...I really dislike lag. I disabled Google Now & disabled the Verizon Apps as previously suggested. I also think I may have found something awesome:
It may be premature, but I believe I've found a way to get rid of almost all lag. I installed this apk called Seeder.
My lag pretty much gone. I've been disappointed in EVERY Android phone I've ever had (because of lag)...this seems to have fixed it.
I installed the leak the second it was confirmed to be the legit Verizon approved build and the lag for me was comparable if not slightly better than ICS. Nova Launcher is good though, you lose the settings menu that always lags the first time you swipe to it, but you can replace that with Power toggles for the pull-down menu.
What you're experiencing seems much worse than what I remember because the phone was still highly usable, just not perfect. I was never a big fan of Circles, even after removing it from my home screen it would find its way into my list of running processes till I froze it with titanium backup. I froze virtually all the Verizon crap that'd run constantly too and the phone has been nearly flawless since installing Nova.
Also came across several sites I need to access for work that render horribly slow on Chrome like Hawaii'sVIP, it just chugs along like a slide show. Dolphin Browser on the other hand renders heavily populated pages almost instantly. It also looks truly hardware accelerated during rapid zooming and scrolling, where Chrome often jumps around and loads the page in chunks.

Is there a tool or way to test the Nexus 5 sdcard memory?
For the last six months I've had problems with my rooted Nexus 5 (stock kitkat) suddenly running very slow. After a lot of time trying to figure out why, I determined the following.
1. Slowdown happens when an app is writing something to the sdcard.
2. Is not a particular app. Can be any app.
3. When it happens all 4 CPU cores are running close to full blast.
4. Battery usage shows "android os" is 50% of the usage.
5. Task killers do not solve the problem.
6. Reboot restores things to normal for a while.
So I now wonder if there's something wrong with the built in memory but don't know how to test it.
Is there a way to test the Nexus 5 message? It is very frustrating to talk 2-3 pictures and then have the 4th one make everything grind to a stop. Right now, typing this is a pain because every letter takes its time to appear. I know rebooting will solve it but I should not have to.
sounds like you get a process(es) that get "stuck". also, when this happens, have you ever checked if your google stuff is syncing or " stuck"? sometimes badly written apps can cause this to happen as well.

I think you are right but I don't know how to find the faulty process. I "think" I first noticed it after the google camera update, but I used settings /apps/ to uninstall the camera update without improvement. I think camera showed the problem because it has to save the image to memory sdcard.
I don't sync and have sync turned off everywhere and on all apps. Sometimes Google play shows up as the prominent battery user even though I don't have it update apps automatically. But it is primarily android os that is the bad guy.
One of the things I had tried when the problem first started was to restore an earlier nandroid backup, but the problem continued, so I restored the most recent nandroid I had done before the earlier restore.
Recent screenshot.
I was on the browser and Tapatalk for a while. But not on play store.
Not frozen now when taking this screenshot.
You need to get gsam, or BBS or wakelock detector and see what one of those says. The stock battery screen is pretty much useless to find a battery problem.
But I'm guessing all your issues are tired to one bad app as said above.
Get a battery app I suggested, run a full charge down with it running.... And comb thru all of it and see if anything pops out.

I already did that. I have gsam and wakelock detector installed but my knowledge of Android is very limited and they have not helped me so far except to confirm I have a problem. I wonder if there is a way to see the dates I installed various apps. That way I could uninstall in the order they were installed.
Here are various screenshots. The list of active processes goes down several pages.
My guess... It's an app that hadn't been updated since kit kat has been out, and it's spamming location services.
Just a guess.
Check in gsam for times waking device, held awake time and kernel wakelock. (You need gsam root companion from play store installed as well.). These are all found in gsam app screen by clicking the drop down at the top. See if anything looks bad on any of those.

Oh, and obviously, whatever tick tick is, is killing your battery. If it accesses location.... that's my bet for the culprit.
Thank you all for the advice. Obviously I've tried various things. TickTick is a todo list app. Quite nice actually. Anyway I had suspected it might be a problem and have uninstalled it (several times) with no improvement.
Finally, I seem to be making some headway. Don't know which of these two did it (if the improvement lasts.....).
1. There were 3-4 apps I had avoided updating because I didn't like the updated versions (maps, Hangouts which I don't use, Firefox, etc). So I now gave up and clicked on "update all".
2. I disabled the module gravitybox and rebooted.
So far things have returned to normal. My CPU cores are back to low levels.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed. If things continue well after a while I will reactivate gravitybox. I'm holding my breath!
After a full 15 minutes of normal behavior (unbelievable!), I took my courage in hand, reactivated gravitybox. Used my usual apps without the previous freezing recurring (so far). If this continues - and it seems to - it might suggest you don't update GAPPS (I think it was Hangouts) only at your peril.
Such a difference having an uncrippled phone!
After a while the slowdowns returned. Any suggestions?
just received an update today for my verizon note 5. so far ive only noticed a change in the gallery app. thoughts??? are you going to update?
Honestly I don't like the newer gallery.
I never use the built-in gallery unless it's to interact with just taken pictures before using another app to organize them competently.
Is that the only change besides a newer security patch? The update isn't out yet for the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant app yet, which is the only way an MVNO user can get these incremental security updates.
I've noticed the wallpapers have been changed, disabling theme store and theme setting does not keep paid/trial themes set, I also noticed a Google option in the settings menu, but it could have been there for awhile, and animations seem smoother for me
Looks like the update is finally available on the Software Upgrade Assistant application. Will update and report back anything I can add to this discussion.
EDIT: Installing the update now, will be doing a factory reset and fresh install to eliminate any issues since I use PackageDisabler Pro.
EDIT 2: Can't really find any differences besides maybe the gallery, which I wasn't all that familiar with initially anyways. Phone seems the same animations/speed wise. Security patch is at August 1. Still has the same bouts of random lag with Chrome tab-switching, and long pressing the home screen and apps in the app drawer can bring visual choppiness to the UI still. Phone does seem to run better without disabling any apps though, CPU usage seems light with the bloatware that is installed from the get-go.
EDIT 3: Battery life is definitely improved. Have 2.5 hours SOT with 1.5 of that Star Wars Heroes and just now hit 50%.
Updated yesterday, been running about 26 hours! Animations are noticeably smoother! Battery life seems better also!
Unplugged the phone at midnight when fully charged, looked at 4am, 99%. Very nice, used to lose roughly 1% an hour.
Any official release notes mention improvements to standby battery drain on this update?
Anyone having issues making and receiving calls or sending messages after the update.... not sure what's up but after taking the update my phone function will randomly not work and then sometimes will. Very frustrating...

Haven't run into any of those issues, maybe a clean install would help if you haven't already wiped system cache or the Phone/Messaging app cache.

Is it safe it update
The reason why I say this is because I'm so concern about the battery life on my phone. The main question is: Does this update improve the battery life or does it make the the battery life worse ??
I get better battery life on the new update, but if you do decide to update, I would recommend doing a factory reset after taking it. That or flash if with ODIN. I would bet that most of the niggling issues people are having are upgrade related. Also if you do anything involving debloating/package disabling outside of the disable function built into TouchWiz/Android do a fresh install.
