Browser trouble since 3.29 update - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just flashed the 3.29 software update yesterday and everything was great, but I discovered today that I have a new problem with the built-in browser - whenever a page is loading and I touch anything (like x or the back button) the browser instantly force closes.
What can I do about this? Could a different kernel (I'm on stock now) make a difference?
Any ideas are appreciated.

Go into manage applications force stop the browser and clear all data/cache then reboot and see if that helps.

I did what you said, but it hasn't fixed the problem, only made the force close delayed by a few seconds. What else can I try?

You can try booting into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik-cache then reboot. And if that still doesn't help I guess you could re-flash the rom or try an entirely different one.

Thanks for your help, man. I tried flashing a custom kernel and in the process I wiped cache and dalvik, but the problem has persisted. You think just reflashing the ROM could solve the problem?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Yeah that would be my next step...I'd wipe the important 3 then re-flash. Trying a different ROM wouldn't hurt either.

Thanks for your help. I think I'll reflash the current ROM. I like stock Sense UI.

Have you downloaded any new apps lately? Have you try clearing cache and davlik-cache? Maybe a reboot or a hard reset?
We're comin from a pure power source.
yes ive done all those..even wiped my sd card and installed new rom,stil does it. idk

When it's on and you turn the screen off, does it turn off on the first press (eliminating the power button itself as the problem)?
That's weird. I thought maybe the button is going bad, but then it would do the same thing when turning it off I would think.

From your description, it seems like a mechanical/hardware problem, but if you're able to rule that out somehow, go into recovery, wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card and then download and flash a rooted stock ODEXED rom from HERE. This is a close to stock as you can get without unrooting. If it doesn't work with this rom, I would unroot, restore S-ON and then take it in to your local Sprint store.

I had to send my Dinc in due to a touch screen malfunction. Warranty replaced.

it could be corrupt data. try clearing the cache for the app that force closes via settings > manage applications.
I'm more so asking how to cause the issue the issue not how to fix it I guess. Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Reinstall a sense 3.0 rom over cm7 without wiping, then restore system data, pretty sure that would do it.
If ive helped you, please hit the damn thanks button!

Evo force close and download issues

Guys I'm running decks evo-gingerbread-deck-1.2.1 coupled with the tiamat 4.0.6 I'm having trouble downloading anything that isn't from the market itself. Everytime I try to download it shows up with an error message saying unsuccessful. Also every app on my phone is force closing at random. Rom manager, youtube, gallery, facebook, etc. Any ideas?

reflash the rom, and try a different kernal this time
I've tried this multiple times. Same result
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
you have tried a different kernal?
I've tried the stock kernel for the rom, synergy, and tiamat including sbc.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Make sure you wipe everything besides the sdcard. Once the ROM installed wipe dalvik cache before installing the kernel. I have found this to help fix the FC.
Thanks guys the force close issue is fixed but it still will not allow me to DL outside xda or the market

Clear the market data/cache.
Also, delete the "android.secure" folder on your sdcard.
You should also run fix permissions to correct force close issues.
I can't figure out how to fix permissions with amon-ra recovery

In recovery, select other, then fix uid mismatches. That's it. Also, if you have rom manager you can fix permissions from there as well.

Freeze on restart

I did the offical ICS update when it came out but it was always a little slow responding, i had read that doing a factory reset would help so i backed everything up with titanium then did a factory reset, i then restored all data and it helped, but now when i either restart our turn off my phone it freezes at the goodbye screen, any ideas?

It had no problems with restart after the ICS update, used it since it was released, I did the factory reset today and now it freezes.

Both wont hurt. Make sure use use TDJ's cache wipe to properly fix permissions too.
Use Darkside Cache Wipe and it will fix the hang problem.
Thanks Atmazzz, ICS now is awesome. I am still thinking about trying Darkside Evolution, I just wish the YouTube update was smoother.

You can download the app from the playstore... https://play.google.com/store/apps/...oid.gm&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd ,if hes having problems downloading,getting an error,go to system/applications,find the playstore and clear cache and data,go to recovery and clear dalvik and fix permissions,then go back to the playstore and sign back in and you will be able to download.
I blue toothed him my apk and it's working. Thanks
