chrome phone crash? ICS - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone else had serious issues with the new chrome beta? I tried running it on my icecoldsandwich rom and it caused my phone to reboot twice in a row. I know its a beta and will inherently have issues, but I've never seen an app, especially a browser, act this poorly

I have not had any problem with it on aospX ics rom.

Neither have I. I even deleted and reinstalled chrome, but no dice. It just freezes, turns back after about 15 seconds and reboots.
The last time it happened it messed with my app drawer. When the phone restarted only one app showed in my drawer, so I had to do another reboot to fix that.

Update* After it being recommended that I clear my caches on my phone, I reinstalled chrome. This time I found that it works with every site I tried except for boingboing.net, which makes the phone reboot every time. Does anyone here have any ideas why this would happen? It's not exactly like Boingboing would be particularly hard to render

I'm running it on Virtuous Quattro RC3 without problem by itself. Tried boing boing and it works.
However, I find that having Chrome beta running cause some other apps to FC. (Can't even launch until I manually kill Chrome)

For me it's working nicely on IceColdSandwich 1.4.0

No problem at all on IceColdSandwich 1.5.0,
even the reported "pink"graphics glitches are (allmost) gone
with the very latest 1.5.test3 by LordClockaN.

Well frankly there are better browsers than chrome out there..
P.S. - no issues for me also on lord's ics latest test build

Strange WiFi issue

Hey all.
For about 5 hours I haven't been able to download anything from the market. Occasionally something will download if its a small file size, so that rules out the good apps.
I've tried 2 different nand back ups; pays 2.0 and BluFrost and neither work. Running the latest radio.
Any ideas?

Have you tried a wipe/factory reset and wipe of SD:Ext?
I've got exactly the same issue. Wifi is working for everything else except when I try to download from the market. No 3G where I am so I can't see if market works with it. I'm running NextSense 5.2 and up to now have had no problems.
Update: Just tried Market Doctor option in Titanium Backup and now everything seems to be working again. Suggest trying it to see if it solves your problems.

[Q] Facebook Image not loading

Hi all,
Im new to the Galaxy Nexus, replaced my Nexus S yesterday.
I flashed Codename Android 3.5 with Trinity Stable kernel, installed all my apps, and now I have a problem in the Facebook App.
Pictures are not loading, I only see the text. Is this related to Facebook App ? Anyone else already experienced this problem ?
I tried to uninstall / reinstall, problem stays.
You mean no images are loading in the Facebook app at all or just some aren't loading? I have a problem where when I click on an image someone posted the full screen version of the image will temporarily have trouble loading, but that is the only problem I've seen.

No images at all. Only text. That's strange.
Maybe I'll try to wipe the phone and reinstall Codename, or try with Xenon or Rasbeanjelly.
The android Facebook app sucks in general. I'm not sure if CNA adds even more issues.
Same problem here I am using the latest build of facebook app bt some times its loading the pics sometimes not the only solution I got when I am changing the different WiFi it starts loading the pics bt again second time it stoped...strange :/

Youtube (desktop + mobile) Force closes on video playback

I've tried searching the forums for a possible solution but have had no luck thus far.
I prefer the desktop Youtube over the mobile app version but regardless on which one I use for some reason lately YT always force closes anytime I hit the play icon to watch a video. it would load for a couple seconds and then force close me out of my browser. I do have the correct flash player and I've tried various browsers installed on my phone as well as earlier versions to each but the issue continues to occur. I also tried clearing data but no luck either. Has anyone else experienced this? and if so, a possible fix? Any advice would be great.

If you're on Deviant then it's a known issue. Something with webkit Ramsay did, thought we got it under control, but I guess not.
Hmm.. ok. I wouldn't have thought it was the ROM because I've been using Deviant since it's beta release as my daily driver and it's been stable for me until today. Wasn't having this issue til now and I hadn't modified anything. Thanks for clearing this up for me though. appreciate it.

Weird that it didn't happen before for sure. But it only works on chrome for me.

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)!

Chrome constantly crashing

I unlocked/rooted my device today, and it all went smooth, but chrome seems to be crashing non stop. It will open for a few seconds, but if I touch anything or scroll it will just crash to the wallpaper with no errors. I don't *think* it was crashing prior to the root, but I'm not entirely sure. I didn't use the browser much before then. This same crash also happens to the chrome beta.
I tried clearing the chrome cache, I even did a factory reset/wipe. I haven't tried unrooting yet. That's gonna be a last resort.
Everything is stock except for the root and TWRP. (Kernel, rom, etc)
Chrome is really the only browser I seem to like on android, so getting it working is pretty important for me.

Mine was doing that also until I install the jassy kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383361
Chrome crashes even when un-rooted. I switched to Firefox for my nrw Nexus 7.

I saw a demo unit in best buy doing the same thing today! And when I tried to download any apps from playstore it gave me 497 error code. Not sure what's going on.
I can attest that the Chrome browser will freeze up or crash. Browsing this site will produce a freeze or two per session. Other sites I do not use as extensively.
I purchased my N7 because browsing on an iPad 3 gen was impossible with Safari or Chrome which I installed because Safari was so bad. Chrome on the iPad was unusable. Chrome on Windows 7 also crashes and hangs very frequently.
I use chrome and it never crashed and it pretty smooth.

Indeed I did! That's the main reason I rooted....
That could very well be the culprit, but chrome isn't worth not having xposed, so I will stick with an alternative browser for now.
Thanks!

I've not added any plugins or other extensions to Chrome on my mobile devices. An attempt to add one on the desktop version similar to what I used in Firefox ended miserably. Just crashes and freezes, similar to the experience on the N7.
