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.
I need some help with my Gmail app on my Xoom.
Yesterday I was watching a Youtube video when my Xoom wouldn't stream any more. I rebooted it and it worked fine except when I try to launch the Youtube or Browser app from Gmail.
I got an email that someone uploaded a video to Youtube and when I click on the video to see it, I should get a pop-up asking if I want to launch it using Youtube or Browser just like it did before my reboot.
Now that never happens, the screen turns grey just like it would launch the pop-up but it never appears. It doesn't block the tablet because if I click on the screen it just goes back to Gmail like I didn't select anything.
Any ideas how can I fix this?
Thanks
No one? Absolutely no ideas what I should try?
I still need some help on this one...so if you've got any ideas please step forward
Having the same issue... and... it seems that clicking on a short cut from anywhere on the xoom produces the greyed out screen. Tried fixing permissions... no luck.
Edit: I found reference to rotating the screen when this happens, which then allows a selection. Fixed my issue.
Hello everyone!
Let me start off by saying that i'm actually using an unrooted, officially update nexus 5, updated to the latest 5.0.1
I have no problem whatsoever, battery really seem to have improved, but lately i've been getting a strange behavior
After a period of use (it goes from a couple of days to a whole week) the phone oddly slows down when i press the middle button, to return back to the homescreen.
For example, if I'm using the facebook app, and watch a couple of videos along with opening a few external links, when i press the home button, the whole home "loads" from start. I mean, i literally see nothing for a second, then it slowly loads widgets and icons. After it's been loaded, everything works flawlessly again, but if i open facebook again, use it for a while and press the home screen, it loads again.
Mind that i have no custom drawer (i tried Themer, it gives me the same error, it says "loading homescreen" when the problem appears) but the problem is still there with the stock homescreen. I tried force-closing the apps i used, thinking about a memory issue, but to no avail. I have to turn off and turn on the device, and everything works wonders again.
Is there any app that could help me with this issue? I'd like to understand why it's doing this and which app is slowing down my phone.

I am not Sure whether this is 100% sure, But have heard that there is a memory leak issue in lollipop. Which might be the reason of ur problem. And the oly way get enough memory is to restart. But again, I am not Sure whether the above information is correct though.

I've heard that too, but it's strange that it has appeared only now. I haven't had this kind of issue ever since i updated it.
The FB app is just real buggy. My personal theory is whatever that app does exposes the Lollipop memory leak.

Yep i know about that, the FB app is just horrible script-wise. Nevertheless, i've never had THIS problem. And even if i forceclose it, it doesn't solve the problem anyway.
I've been getting a strange issue lately. It can happen in any app, but it usually occurs during or just after a transition of some sort (sliding or something like that). The problem is that I get a field of random graphical static somewhere on the screen. While I've seen it happen in quite a few apps it happens randomly and I can't reliably reproduce it. It almost always happens in the same places in each app, however.
I've attached a screenshot (the static is the block in the top-left corner). This particular app is Reddit News Pro, but like I said, it can happen in almost any app. I'm on stock 5.0.1 on my N5, rooted, Xposed.

I find it interesting that is happening at a software level, were you able to take screenshots as well? I once had a glitch that looked like that, only on the status bar when opening the feedly settings on lollipop. I don't use lollipop and I've never seen it again.
If the phone is certainly dying, I once held a galaxy note (or note 2? all samsung devices look the same to me) which I could not reflash or even partition but entered in the boot-loader, and the owner told me a few months later that someone fixed it. I don't remember what it had or if he told me at all though.

I don't think it's software. Pretty sure your digitizer is dying. Mine went quickly, yours seems more slow. Over the course of a week mine went from the (entire) screen occasionally glitching for a few seconds or minutes, to permanently showing what's in the pic. In that state the device was unusable except for hard rebooting by long-pressing the power button.

It may not be software, but I just find weird that it appears on screenshots so, If it is hardware indeed then I don't think it can be repaired as the phone I previously mentioned. Just in case I would roll back the phone to Kitkat and give it a try before thinking the worst. The main reason I rolled back to kitkat was graphic and lockscreen glitches that would force me to soft reboot the phone every now and then.
I have this problem from 1 year, from the day i bought the phone til now ive installed all updates.
Using chrome, after a while, 10 minutes or 1 hour, the page look like freezed, i try to scroll or touch but nothing.
I need to go to another app and come back (also just go to thumbnail view and back) then i see again the page and i see it scrolled until bottom if i did it when it was freezed. I mean that when the page freeze actually is working if i scroll or tap the page change but i need to change app and come back to see. It just appened right now
I've tried chrome beta and dev, same thing
Anybody knows about it?

I have the same problem! It's annoying as hell and I haven't found a solution. It's awesome phone otherwise but this one thing ruins the experience.
I found the solution
In chrome://flags find the "Android SurfaceControl" flag and disable it.
