chrome blank screen - HTC One X

Anyone noticed with chrome that occasionally the tab becomes 'stuck' and stays blank regardless of what site (or even bookmarks) you bring up.
Workaround is easy, open a new tab, presto.
But annoying, wondering if anyone seen this and/or come up with a fix.
This happened on stock 1.28, 1.29, now ARHD 7.1 (2.05 base) so I'm pretty sure its not caused by custom ROM.

i have it too

Yea happened to me too but it only started when I started to use viper. The problem wasn't present during the Pokemon days

Yep happens to me on stock, really annoying when viewing content heavy pages, keeping me on Firefox and the stock browser currently

yeah thinking of going back to stock browser until this is fixed!

Same happened to me on my one x as well. Just random blank pages... super annoying but just need to reload a new tab...
Doesn't happen on stock.

Im on the stock browser. This used to happen to me but since the chrome update, its gotten better.

It's got better since the update but this never use to happen when I was using my galaxy s 1.
On stock rom

Yes! Had enough and just reported bug today then coincidentally I see this.
One X to rule them all

Noticed it first time 2 updates ago, getting stuck at blank screen, especially on heavy pages with lot of pictures. Firefox better?

I get this with chrome on my galaxy tab too... Not sure it's anything to do with the One X. Don't think it used to happen with chrome beta so think it's due to some dodgy update.

I get this problem on my one x. It doesn't seem to do it with web pages but occasionally it'll stay blank when I try and open my bookmarks. The only way round it is to close that tab and open a new one. Hope they fix this soon

I'm getting this issue also. Using ICS Browser+ until it's fixed!

It's an issue which is addressed in the Known Issues list of Chrome for Android:
Pages are blank, distorted, or flickering on my HTC One V, HTC One X, HTC Amaze 4G, HTC Sensation XL, and Huawei MediaPad.
This is a known issue with the graphics driver on specific devices. We have reported this issue to hardware manufacturers and software vendors and are working to fix it. As a workaround, try rotating your device or refreshing the page to resolve temporary rendering issues.

So... I guess it's up to HTC to resolve this, hopefully in their next update.
Source (I can't post the full url because of my post count, delete the space after http: when copying please):

(Select "Site Display Issues" and then "Pages are blank, distorted, or flickering on my HTC One V, HTC One X, HTC Amaze 4G, HTC Sensation XL, and Huawei MediaPad.")

Yet another reason my next phone will be a Nexus

Same here. They have implemented many good features and I love Crome user experience, but the blank pages are so anoying.
I have had it so bad that even a new tab does not resovle the issue and I am forced to use stock browse. I got all stock.

happens on my nexus 7 as well it's not just confined to the one X.

Chrome-dome
Yeah I get this issue too... It's a bugger!
Hopefully it'll get resolved one day as I use Chrome as my main browser, I like the stock browser as it's pretty nippy but can't seem to swing moving over to FF.

To fix this, you can also: Press home button, press (or hold recent apps button, bring up the recent apps screen, swipe away chrome to close it, reopen Chrome and all your pages will reload and work again.
Happens on the TF101 Asus Transformer too. Used to be all the time 1 month ago, now its only occasionally on both devices.

I can just open up a 2nd tab and move along. I don't have the issue every time but when I do get the blank tab I just open up another tab and then I can go.

[Q] screen justification and keyboard glitch

I've noticed a couple of issues with my One X while browsing the internet.
1) on a couple of forums I use (Scienceforums.net being the main one) when I go to post a reply my keyboard won't use lowercase letters, and the site lags. Also the "auto correct" seems to work only when it feels like it.
I've tried downloading other keyboard like "hackers keyboard" and "swiftkey" but this makes the auto correct is even worse!
2) unlike the iPhone 4 I've prevy upgraded from when viewing websites in 'desktop' (my preferred view as I can access everything on the site) the One X can never seem to work out how to display the site correctly.
It's always got terrible justification, and often lags or glitches should i attempt to zoom in/out or try and line up the website manually on the screen so I can see all the content.
What causes this? And is there anthing I can do/upgrade/patch I can download?
Thanks
Cant say I've had any of those issues tbh, especially with the browser. Have you tried Tapatalk for the forums? That works great

I'll check that out, thanks. I've downloaded opera mini as well so.I'm.gonna see it browses better in that. because this is making me regret getting this phone to be honest.
And I don't want to do that as its such a good phone in other areas.

Slower After Sense 4.1

Hey guys,
Anyone else experiencing their phone to be slightly slower AT times then when on Sense 4.0? Just sometimes my home screen and other parts of the system will just feel generally slower. The camera seems slower and the 'Developer Options' are really glitch now true. Tell the screen to flash when there is an update and the whole system becomes unresponsive. Really can't understand it..

well, you are the first one from whom i have heard that after installing sense 4.1 your phone is slower...
mate 4.1 is lot faster than sense 4.0 and is locked at 60 fps
try factory reset once and check if these problems still exist
have been using sense 4.1 for more than 2 weeks now and just loving it
Actually it is away faster in the screen switching, it is extremly smooth. However the app drawer lags alittle.
But overall it's faster.

Try a factory reset or if your rooted with a custom recovery just format cache and dalvic cache. Then Give the phone 2 full charges from at least 20% in at least a 2 day span.
It could be a bad app or mod that is causing the issues. Usually it's never a bad ota update that slows the device. Also I recommend a backup program.

The app drawer would only lag if you have a large amount of apps installed. Maybe get rid of ones you don't use

Not so great after all...
While I don't notice that my phone is any slower after the update to 4.1, the update hasn't solved my WiFi issue. Which I wasn't really expecting it to, but they did say it should even out the signal, it hasn't. I couldn't tell the difference about the 3D widget stacking or whatever on the stock launcher, 'nor could I notice a difference when opening the app drawer or swiping through homescreens.
That is not to say that the update didn't do anything. I know that benchmarks don't prove much of anything, some argue that they do. I don't really care too much for them, but out of curiosity sake, I ran some. Now, my phone is bone stock, I can't unlock the bootloader because my volume rocker cable is broken. So I'm not rooted, nothing. With Sense 4.0 and Android 4.0.3 I scored horribly, worse than the One X in the stats, at about 3900. I don't know what was going on, but I ran that twice and got the same result. Anyway, after the update to 4.1 and 4.0.4 I scored 5928 and that is with Apex Launcher and Holo Locker locked in memory.
Take from the benchmarks what you will! The 4.1 update does not work miracles, but it's a step in the right direction!

You can't be serious here?
Home screen smoothness is silky smooth on stock launcher now, the performance improvement was MASSIVE on home screens.

I am very serious, I found it to be very smooth to begin with on 4.0... I didn't have my screens filled with lots of widgets or shortcuts though. That might make a difference. I haven't tried using a livewallpaper yet either. I do notice that Recent Apps seems to be a lot smoother, but with the stock launcher, I don't see much. The app drawer might be quicker to open than before.

Most certainly are right started off with a One X, got rid of it due to all the WiFi problems and other things coming to light, then picked up another one because the GS3 is so boring, but now I have both.
What I will say is what I am experiencing is not all the time every second, its just sometimes.. I'll have a quick go resetting and messing about, thanks for the suggestions guys.

2.17 is brisk
try to wipe or free some space on your SD card
I'm experiencing the same after my ota - its great that the menu bar has gone but the home screen and recent apps just feel a bit sluggish.
For example, when opening recent apps, the current app will appear but other apps to the left of it appear after a slight delay. Swiping home screens is definitely more sluggish here; before ota it was a bit jerky (when swiping, home screen would occasionally jump from one position to another, but in general they followed finger location exactly), but now they lag slightly behind my finger, and instead of jumping positions they pause for a moment and then continue to move smoothly. I think this could be caused by the business calendar app though, it usually only happens on that page...
The problem with the launcher closing when a few apps are open is still just as bad as it was before (and still takes about 15-20 seconds to load the launcher again, which does seem a bit excessive...)
But despite the complaining above, it's really not the end of the world and I don't think it's worth bothering to do a factory reset and see if it works although I'm gradually growing to hate sense and might build up the courage to root and flash some experimental roms soon...

Well, recents apps loads of moves perfectly.
Home screens are silky smooth.
If your not getting that, go install a RUU and fix it.

Hi,
Had the same problem. Turns out at least on my device after update to 2.17 the dev option "Don't keep activities" was ticked.
I know it wasn't before.
Wonder if it was a battery saving measure. Anyway made my phone sluggish so I turned it off, all back to normal.
Cheers

[Q] Weird picture scaling in Chrome?

Hi all,
I got my Verizon HTC one a few days ago and noticed something weird that happens most often when browsing reddit. Any time I click on a link hosted at i.imgur.com the pictures are incredibly small in the too left corner. The attached file is an example.
Is this a chrome issue, HTC one issue, or both?
Chrome bug. It's fixed in the latest Chrome Beta.
Honestly, though, I would stick with the stock browser. It doesn't drain the battery as much since it's optimized specifically for the One, and it's a heck of a lot smoother.
I was going to ask that. I know chrome is stock on some phones, but everytime I try it, I go back to stock browser because chrome still isn't great on mobile. On samsung's browser, you even get your desktop chrome bookmarks so not much reason to use Chrome mobile.

Problem with Facebook photos on HTC 10

Hello, may be a silly pointless question but it's annoying me already. The past 4-5 phones I've had never had this problem only when using the HTC10.
So what it is when I'm looking through a facebook photo album I can't seem to swipe through the photos properly I have to swipe right from the edge of the screen to move to the next photo. Has any one else noticed this? thanks

Strange can't be that. It doesn't do it on my missus s7 or my old Moto X Style or my OPO. Only the HTC 10.
All I could think is the pre-installed facebook is different. May have to root and remove. Plus cannot get on with this stock TouchPal keyboard. Lol.

Yeah Facebook is the only app I have that has this issue swiping right or left in.
What version is your Facebook app? I uninstalled updates after one of the recent ones started crashing. I'm back on 80.0.0.21.65 (the one that downloads and installs when you click the app icon for the first time) and have no issues swiping through albums.
The newest version in play store is 81.0.0.22.70
Hi guys. I am having the same problem and it is driving me nuts. I have the lastest Fb version, i tried to delete it but it demands me to update the app every single time. Swiping only works from the bezzel to the middle.
Has anyone figured out how to fix this problem??
I had this issue on LG G5, Xperia Z5, S7 and HTC 10. Facebook issue definitely. Cannot see how to fix it.
for me its fixed now
