[Q] Stock Browser force closing (more) frequently? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I searched and didn't find anything exactly addressing this in the forums for the Epic 4G Touch.
I have been having a LOT of force closes recently with the stock browser (stock, never rooted). I can't find a pattern to any of the force closes. It has crashed on the Sprint.com site as well as thisismynext.com and a whole host of other sites. The only thing they've had in common was they were the full sites and not any mobile versions.
Just seeing if others have been seeing this and if there are any work arounds.
Thanks!

This is just a hunch but it might help
do this
Hit home»hit menu»settings»applications»all apps»browser»hit delete data then delete cache»reboot
Also try updating flash

Ad-Free Android

I heard somewhere that Ad-Free Android slows your phone down. I never installed it, but im pretty sure I have it. I have no ads on any apps and my browser is kind of slow. I'm running CM7 nightly #14. Does anyone know if this comes pre-installed on CM7?

I'm not sure if it's already cooked into CM7 or not, but I will say that I don't think it slows the phone down. However, if the hosts files get out of date, it will indeed cause your browser speeds to dwindle greatly. Usually updating the hosts files correct that problem.

i've never noticed a problem with browser speeds... Love not having adds in some of the apps though!
I have never noticed any problems with it either.
Depending on how your hosts file is set up, you may notice a slowdown before a timeout occurs.
Consider this, the web page in question calls certain ads. Your hosts file points to some address that instead of just saying file does not exist, it sits there until a time out occurs. In this sense, slowdowns can occur. I don't recall of having localhost/127.0.0.1 as the IP in the hosts results in a simple file not found, or this stalling issue.

[Q] VirusRom b1.3 Browser Close

So I am using the latest ROM from xxVirusxx Kingdom b1.3 (I think thats what it is) and it is running great. But the only glitch that I have seen from it, is that on certain websites the web browser automaticly closes. Has any one else experienced this, and has a possible solution? I've tried different browsers to see if it was the stock HTC browser, but no luck. Any help is appriciated.
I don't know if this is even the place to be asking this, but I could not actually write in the development section because of my status. This was the only place for me to start a question... sorry for being a n00b
try to update your flash. Can also try to visit the website using mobile mode.
It is known that the new browser will crash on some sites if they are not displayed on Mobile mode. There are some instances when the browser will force close because of flash. To know if this is the case, when you attempt to select a flash video to play it should highlight before it begins to play. If it doesn't highlight and the browser force closes, that means it is the flash. Not you won't see the force close message, but the browser will auto close, which is what you said.

I'm having the same issues.
The "mobile" option seem to make sense, I'll check and advise. Thanks for the info.

Wierd market and youtube bug

My phone had been working fine all week and today it did some really wierd things. I am on srf 1.2 and genocide kernal.
First thing I noticed was that the market chanhed looks on me, I like the old style of market. The one that has green borders all around. I booted the market up and it was all normal. I then downloaded an app and I noticed it was going very slow so I cancled and loaded market again and just like that the market appearence was totally different. It had grey boarders and all the apps were lined up in a grid pattern. You dif not have to scroll down to look at the list of apps. It also seemed alot slower.
The second thing is I use opera mini browser for my internet. Youtube vids were working fine then all of sudden it said that the vids were not compatabe or somethong like that. It was just not one video it was all of them.
So I went to cwm and wiped cache and dalvik then restored. This fixed the youtube problem, but the market switched again later for no reason.
Any suggestions? Thanls
Both apps updated today. You could try uninstalling updates in applications.

Well with the market they pushed out a new version, as you can tell. Youtube, I can't help you on that
Posted from my pedo van.
I like the new market.
Posted from my awesome EPIC.
Lol, you're talking about the market that everyone (most of us) had weeks back before it was updated to the public. =P as for the Youtube issue, all with epics and many other phones share your issue, just go to settings, manage applications, select youtube, and uninstall the update for now.

Where is Opera getting that address from? It is not a valid address. Is it some type of redirector? Rather than drive yourself crazy wouldn't it be easier to switch browsers? Like to Dolphin or Miren?

XDA Page Continous Reloading in Chrome

I have a problem with my browser.
Only xda page continous reload in browser. I deactivate all extensions but problem not solved. I need a solution.
Thanks for advices
I had this problem when enabled noscripts plugin in firefox. Please check for plugins and allow xda scripts. This should resolve.
Try starting browser in safe mode.

You did not flood. Thanks for update. You should try with new browser window after clearing cache cookie. Usually ccleaner does that for you.
Next time please mention device. PC or mobile. Forum is accessible through all means.
Your update will be useful to others.

I have the same problem using Archlinux and Chrome. Any idea how to solve it?
I am experiencing this as well. Every time I touch the screen it reloads the page. I've run out of ideas. This only happens to me on XDA's site. If I uninstall Chrome and install it again it goes away for a time and then comes back I believe once I have logged in and posted.
I'm running Wanamlite 3.9 on a GT-N7100.
Same Here...

I am having the same issue but not just on my Samsung S4 phone, but also using IE 11 on my Win 8.1 pc.
Just wanted to contribute this info in the hopes that a solution is forthcoming from the geniuses on XDA!

Likewise: when browsing xda forums with chrome, it continually reloads, but only when I'm logged in to xda. If logout, it stops reloading. This happens on my Samsung Note 2 and my Barnes & Noble Nook HD+. I haven't tested it on any other platforms.
Yep. Same here. Using Chrome on Android.
Also same here.
Chrome on Win7 and chrome on Asus Tf300TG with 4.2
Selecting the XDA 2013 Beta 1024 theme at the bottom of the page fixed it for me on my Android tablet.
the problem also happened for me with opera mobile classic in desktop mode, using a note 2.
but the reloading only happened in topic/forum lists, and only if I tried to zoom in.
appelflap's solution worked for me.
edit:
something that might help in finding the real source of the problem: ?nocache=1&z=6394149552676460 gets added to the url whenever the page refreshes automatically.
Looks like appelflap method fixed my android and desktop browser issue. ThankYou
The site admins have been notified of the issue and they are looking into it.
In addition to the reloading issue, they need to be aware of the random redirects to Badoink. Nasty porn app that you can hardly back button away from. I'm so sick of reading a thread, and all of a sudden a giant d**k pops up on my screen. Freaking disgusting.

I have the same problem that my browser (Firefox) keeps reloading, and only on xda-developers. Browsing in a thread is no problem, but the forum overview keeps reloading ever two seconds or so. It seems to be a problem with a script, because I use NoScript and allowing all scripts to be executed solves the problem. I only expierience this on xda and permanently allowing every script is not an option for me, so I avoid the forum overview and only follow my subscribed threads until this issue is resolved.
I have the same problem with Firefox and Chrome on windows 7, XP, and Ubuntu 13.04
To my phone with chrome, dolphin and stock browser i haven't this problem..
EDIT: Now I have no issues, the pages aren't reloading anymore.
What did you do to stop the reloading?

Package File is Invalid errors with P.A. 3.60

Hello all,
I'm hoping you can help. I flashed PA_d2att-3.60-12JUN2013-050113 and pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130719-signed today and now I'm not able to download all of my apps from the App store. I was able to get a good amount of apps, but when I tried to put on Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Twitter, I was getting the Packet File is Invalid message.
I cleared the play store cache from within android but that didn't work. I tried rebooting into TWRP and clearing out all my cache's and that didn't work either.
I saw someone link a 'market fix' app and I even tried that. Nothing seems to be working.
Suggestions?

I'm no help on what the problem is, but I've been having this problem quite a lot lately. I'm on 4.1.1 rooted. Also, the wife's bone stock s4 has been throwing the same error from time to time. I might not be your phone or software. I'm interested to hear other input.

This just happened after going on Paranoid Android (4.2.2) I like the ROM, but I may have to try something else if I can't get it to work right
Well you're flashing an old release, try flashing a newer one and see if that helps.

I'll check for new ones. I took that right from the first post on the thread on here. Maybe I misread something....
ahh yeah I saw 3.6 stable and completely missed the 3.69. I'll try it tonight when I get home and charge this thing back up. Hopefully that works.
Just tried installing apps again. This time over wifi rather than LTE. They worked. Weird. I could understand if no apps downloaded over LTE, but I downloaded probably 20 or so and only a handful didn't work.
Oh well. I'll stick with this ROM for the moment and see how it behaves over a few days.
Thanks again for pointing out there was a newer one.
Temporary fix anthill Google fix on they end
Unlike other solutions that I have seen, this actually works: Follow the below simply step carefully to solve this problem
1.download this VPN software(hideman) http://www.mediafire.com/download/4b5mato1mtb7vrk/net.hideman_2.1.apk
Or you can still download any other vpn software that can change your ip but I used hideman
2.After you have installed this software on your phone,open it and click on country of connection and choose United State then connect
3. Now open your playstore and download any app
This is just idea from : http://www.droid-life.com/2013/08/0...-is-invalid-error-for-many-during-app-updates . I did not take credit for it.
If you go to settings apps all...and wipe data/cache for Google services framework your good.

It's an admitted error with the new playstore update. No guaranteed fix for it yet. Just time.
