I am aware that there are a number of threads on the subject of the browser crashing since the update to 2.2.
Mine is a bog standard t-mobile desire, unaltered in any way. As others, I have a particular problem with the BBC sports and news websites. Flash related, no doubt.
I am curious as to whether anyone has a) had a response from, HTC (or Adobe) on the subject and/or b) found a permanent solution.
Hard/soft resets make no difference.
As recommended on here, I have adjusted the plugin setting to "on demand" which at least enables me to browse the BBC sports site. I do find quite a few spaces however, I guess where video links should be (there is no option to play shown either).
I have also deleted all data in the Internet application which seemed to provide a temporary solution. For a while I could then browse the site properly, at least until the data built up again. However, this morning, even after clearing data the browser is crashing as I move from the main sport page to the football section (and Wolves aren't doing that badly!!!).
Thanks
Just to add a postscript.
I have been in touch with HTC. They suggested a factory reset. I pointed out that this hadn't worked but did it again. No change. As I soon as I could I went back to the BBC sports site, clicked on football, crash!!
HTC suggested returning my phone but I asked what was the point as this was a software rather than hardware issue.
They have now told me "We have tested this on our devices here in the support centre now and have the same issue. We have passed this to our developers to look at."
Watch this space, I guess. Meanwhile I am off to reload some apps!!
Sorry for the new thread.. I was going to ask this in the "Wifi Fix 6.0" thread, but I have too few posts apparently and it wouldn't let me. The forum told me to come here.
Anyway, searching for "wifi" and "AP" and "channel" and "problem" gets a whole LOT of hits unrelated to the problem.
In short, my mt3gs isn't reporting channels of AP's, which is making Wifi Analyzer a bit less useful than I'd like. At first I thought it was related to the app itself, but it seems to be OS or driver related, since according to the following thread, it occurs in non-Sense OS'es:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=891563
It also states that the "Wifi Fix" (replacing the two files under the system folder) didn't seem to help.
Is this a known bug that I simply can't find a link to in the clutter of other Wifi problems with this phone, is there a workaround, and is there anything I can try?
I've already updated the radio to the newest 7.15 and have tried cm 7.0.3 as well as 7.1 RC1 (the one Rom Manager pointed me to)
Thanks for any help, my google-fu has apparently been weak and there's only been two forum posts I've found that even reference this issue - the one linked to above, and a single thread in the cyanogen forums.
Ever since the big website update most pages on here are not constantly reloading over and over. I have to hurry and click a link to view a thread or make a post before the pages reloads again. Anyone else having this issue, and is their a solution for it?
Using Firefox 13.0.1 + ABP + NoScript.
Sounds like a buggy plug in or extension in your browser. Disable them all and then add back one by one until you find the culprit.
Doesn't seem to be doing it anymore.
I've heard of this issue when members are using the NoScript plugin. If you allow xda-developers.com it should load the page without issue. I've been trying to track why it will reload when using NoScript but haven't figured it out yet. Let me know anyone determines why that happens and I'll fix it.

I think the main culprit is the googletagservices.com ... allowing only that one in NoScript stopped the constant reloading of the pages at xda Forums ... for me at least.

I do believe you're right. Earlier today the problem returned, probably because I have been viewing direct thread urls/bookmarks rather than navigating the forum lately. I kept trying to temp-allow scripts between page reloads one at a time but none worked...up to and including everything being allowed which I would imagine rules out NoScript. Just now I blocked everything but the main page script and the one you mentioned and that seems to have worked.
Edit: Nope, no dice. I went to the Captivate section and saw no sub-sections so I allowed and disallowed scripts until I found the one that displayed those sub-sections which is the Googleapis.com script. The second I allowed that(with googletagservices and main site script still allowed) the page went in to the infinite reload loop again. I tried to revoke the permissions of googletagservices and it made no difference.
When I revoke googleapis permission to run the page instantly stops reloading, but as mentioned above it delivers content necessary to the forum. In order to navigate the forum I need that script permitted and I have to race to click links before the page reloads.
I'm only an occasional visitor to XDA, and hit this problem today. I'm using Firefox with noscript. Allowing skimresources.com with noscript stopped the reload problem for me. I already had googleapis.com allowed.
Cheers,
Simon.
I just finished temporarily allowing 30+ scripts and the reload loop seems to have stopped. This website has more scripts than any website I have EVER seen in my time of having noscript installed.
Still can't figure out what script needs to be disabled so googleapis can stay enabled. With this ridiculous amount of scripts it'll take me an hour to figure it out. -_-
ETA: With all scripts running the pages are now constantly loading. Right now it's loading something to do with the liftdna script. My advice? Cut the scripts down to 5 or less because 30+ is unacceptable and problematic.
ETA2: Results from WebPageTest when I ran forum.xda-developers.com in it. Not sure if this has anything worthwhile in it.

If you allow *.xda-developers.com this should allow the proper scripts to run. The issue is that NoScript will allow forum.xda-developers.com to run, but not the CDN files hosted on another hostname.

The only script like that I'm seeing in the list is xda-developers.com with no prefix.
I'm not sure what I did yesterday but it has been stuck in a reload loop since then. The last time it did this it randomly started up again.
Reloading Issue Resolved
After reading this thread I had an idea. I figured that the constant reloading was definitely due to a script-like extension. Although, I'm on Chrome. The culprit for me was AutoPager. Disabled that and everything loads no problem. Hope this helps some people.
Still stuck in a re-load loop for me both in Firefox 16 and 17 while using no script. Haven't been able to find a working combination yet without disabling the plug-in completely.

Same here. Googleapis has to be loaded for full forum functionality, but it's what causes the reboot loop for me.
I've just gotten really good at hitting the stop button. Oddly enough, I'm not running no-script.
........
...........................................
This happens to me in Chrome (24.0.1312.14 beta-m) from time to time. A refresh / change of page usually makes it go away, but still annoying.
All extensions disabled and it still happens.
annoying
really annoying these constant reloads that are bugging me.
what an irony that a developer forum is not able to solve this :cyclops:
Still happening to me after disabling ABP and whitelisting XDA in noscript.
Same here...
Haven't been here for some time, but now that I upgraded FF to 17 (& have NS installed) the reloading problem happened to me too.
Use "Quick Theme Chooser" at the bottom of the page and change to "---- XDA 2013 Beta - 1024" theme.
I used Chrome in all my devices (1 laptop, 1 desktop, 1 ipad and 1 One X). It seems that somehow I keep on getting logged out even though I ticked "remember me" when logging in.
Any ideas? It doesn't happen in other forums. just this.
thanks!
Yes, there are other users who are facing these problems mate.. see these threads which were right below your thread when you created it.
[SOLUTION] XDA Forum login issues.
Chrome problems with forum.
Hello,
Ive noticed for about two days now that sometimes when i go to the HTC One AT&T forum, the thread counts are off. In other words, earlier in the day a sub-forum may have had 30 threads, i look now and its only showing 9. If history repeats itself, it will be back to the full amount later.
I cant figure it out, but its quite a nuisance since im trying to follow quite a few threads.
Has anyone else seen this? Ive tried multiple browsers, cleared cache, tried signed in and out of my account.

Don't know about the problem, but if you want to follow some threads you can simply subscribe to those. May be you can ask bitpushr about the problem.

Better to provide a screenshot of the issue and along with your browser name and version and OS you are using.. to help troubleshoot the problem..
Also, its better to report this here
