Browser randomly reloads and kills tabs. - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm experiencing an issue where if I switch out of my browser and return a few minutes later, it reloads the active page for no reason and in the process closes all of my other tabs.
Any ideas on this?
Running stock 2.2 (and using the stock browser) for reference.

Have you cleared the browser cache and issue persists?

Well I just went back to stock 2.2 from SkyRaider 3.5 last night, so I imagine everything was wiped; but let me clear it nonetheless and see what happens...

Clearing the cache didn't resolve the problem unfortunately.

have you tried clearing data? make sure you have your bookmarks backed up before you try, if you haven't already

[Q] EVOlvedROM R3charged RC1 issues

Runs smoothly but I noticed that when I go to change the default settings in the stock browser from "mobile" to being able to see the actual webpage, the new setting doesn't go into effect. Even after a reboot. Same thing with the calendar. I want it to open up on "month". I change the setting but still opens in "agenda". Any suggestions? I don't wanna reflash again. At least for a while.

Haven't noticed this issues. I've been running the ROM for a few days now. Try to wipe Cache and Dalvik a couple times and reboot. See if that helps.
I did that. Even did a goal new flash. Nandroid. Wipe. And then reinstalled it. I got rid of the original calendar and replaced it with the HTC stock one. So problem solved there. But I still can't change the "mobile" versions of the web pages. Annoying!

Web pages don't load on 4g or wifi

I have an evo that was shipped on 2.3.4 hardware version 004 and on every rom I've tried except the stock one I have a problem where whenever I'm on 4g or wifi web pages only load to 75% then stop and say loading indefinitely, 3g works fine, I have good 4g signal and my wifi works on my laptop just fine, I have had this problem especially bad on cyanogen, currently I'm running fresh 4.2 and the problem occurs intermittently apps that use data however, always work ie Pandora Facebook ect , does anybody know what this is?

Wasn't there some issue with the host file causing issues like this before or am I confusing it with something else?
Do you use adfree?

Did you wipe the cache via Recovery or just using the browser? I imagine they are different. Clear the cache in the browser and clear your downloads and history. Have you tried using a different browser to see if it is specifically the stock browser or something more sinister?
I DO use adfree and I wiped both caches, RA recovery and the browser's. Is adfree the problem?

I would make sure that your host file is up to date and if it's not then do it and check the browser.
If it is, try reverting and see if it corrects the issue.
It is adfree, 4g and wifi work flawlessly now, what a bummer, I guess ill have to deal with advertising.

Why do my gapps keep force closing?

Why? Happens randomly... and frequently... one is usually followed by several in short succession, and then it will stop and go away until the next out burst of gapps force closing comes along...?

May be u need to flash gapps again?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Its the gapps that came with the phone though...? Why would I have to re flash gapps on a stock ROM..?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Same issue here with mine, not rooted, all stock, gapps keeps crashing constantly when trying to use web browser or certain other features included with the phone. Annoying.
Not interested in rooting or flashing anything until development gets a bit more stable.
I had this problem on my og galaxy nexus, clearing data from the phone/contacts apk fixed it. Not sure if it applies here but it's worked for me in the past.

In my experience it is a problem with sync internet. Clear all the data from whatever browser you use and it should stop
Didn't work... still gapps force closing grr this is annoying

It does it to me too all the time and seems random. Didn't think much of it because it happened on the touch pad running cm9. I assumed it was just an android thing. So this isn't normal?

settings -> apps -> all apps.
go to each gapp in the list and force stop, clear data & clear cache. reboot.
if that doesn't help, flash a custom recovery, clear cache and dalvik. fix permissions. reboot.
just suggestions.
Back up everything to Google and try a hard reset maybe?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Yea, I have a custom Recovery so I guess I will try to wipe cache and davlick and fix permissions see if that works other wise, I guess a hard reset is what imma have to do, even thought I don't want to ...that **** piss me off

Clearing the Chrome data worked for my phone...thanks.
A little late to the party on this but the only fix I found that worked was to deselect syncing of Google interne data (unmodded ATT GS3).
gapps forceclose issue
Same situation. SGH999 Galaxy S3. Why is this an issue?
I also do not want to deal with factory reset, wiping apps, etc.
Basically, taking phone off sync... NO F/C at all. Slide tab to SYNC,
F/C EVERY SECOND. I took screen shots, thinking this is so unreal.
There must be an inherent issue with Samsung & Google not playing nicely together this time.
This is my 2nd phone BEHAVING the SAME. TMobile not helpful. In Another thread, they contacted the
President of Samsung for overheating & excessive battery drain. He was sent a new phone, but will end
up with the same problems. I really thought this phone was going to be the shizne...

This seems to be Talk crashing. I get the same FC message. I have to login manually to get Talk online again. Anyone else notice that?

Stock browser stealing defaults

Since my update to 4.0.4, the stock browser keeps stealing my Internet default. Anyone else seeing this?

My stock galaxy tab does that with navigation error messages but no others. I've not seen it happen on my one x.
Have you tried clearing the defaults and app data for both browsers?

I think he means the stock browser is being used regardless of the one he chooses as default.

I'm on 4.0.4 too and it does not happen to me, try clearing the defaults from the android app menu.
I have the same problem. If I set Chrome as default browser, it will be default for some time and then forgets it and the stock browser is opened by default.
I will try clearing defaults for both browsers.
Mine did that shortly after updating. I just cleared the stock browsers defaults and set them back to Chrome.

Yes, that seems to fix the problem. Thanks.
Thanks everyone. Problem seems to have gone since a restart. Though was incredibly annoying as for most things, as I prefer a choice.

Have to say I also encountered this problem.
Searched around the web and also found the solution of clearing defaults. When applied it did work, however sooner or later it happened again.
No matter how many times I cleared the defaults, it just resurfaced a few days later.
The final solution for me was installing a custom ROM (like ViperX), and removing the stock internet browser all together.
To be honest, we ain't using it anyway...

I also have stock browser crashing when it never did before. I suspect one of the google updates that went through recently since besides app updates I haven't changed anything in months and I don't think any of the apps I have is embedded deeply enough to affect the browser. I've considered nandroiding back to trace it but it's a tough one to do since the crashing is somewhat random. Btw I don't have your video app installed (Maxthon).

I have the exact same problem with my N7100. In first thought I was sure that it was a software problem and I did all the steps you mentioned in your initial post...but there I had no luck as the problem kept coming. Then I gave it a try to my local samsung service point. The first time I sent them the phone they didn;t manage to solve the problem and they onlt did a factory reset. The second time I sent it they changed the mainboard (pcb/motherboard)...I thought I was done but guess......the problem was still there! But I am ok, I am now sure that it's a software bug.
I am using the opera browser which doesn't give me the stock browser problems (boat browser is also giving problems to me)!
