Chrome for Android Beta known issues
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.
Yup happens all the time on my device. I love chrome but had to install it because of this very issue.
Damn thing kept jumping about the whole page...
First come smiles. Then come lies. Last is gunfire.
Is this issue only with Chrome or is it with the default android browser too? I'm looking at picking up the HTC One V but if it has a flickering problem with the default browser and chrome I'll look elsewhere. Can someone with a One V give me an answer. Thanks.
No only the Chrome,none of the other apps have that problem.

Thank you for the help! Looks like I'll be picking up the phone and using the default browser then.
To be honest even with flickering its still the best option for browser.

I disagree to be honest, ICS Browser+ is the best option for the HTC One V when running the stock ROM. The flickering makes Chrome unusable.

I havent heard about that one.Looks good at the moment.
problems resolved?
It seems to me that the latest OTA updates to the One V have eliminated the flickering with the latest version of Chrome. Can anyone corroborate?
I can't find any flickering on my one v but on cm10 it flickers....

I am thinking that the new update (2.22 for me, 2.24 or 2.19 for others) may have a new graphics driver that resolves the rendering issues in chrome.
Chrome / Opera / Default Browser
Hello everyone.
Im using HTC One V. (4.0.3) Software Number 1.56.720.2.
I too have been facing the flickering issue on Chrome & Opera (uninstalled them).
Recently once i faced this issue on the default browser on ICS.
Honestly somestimes i feel that ICS is kinda heavy on One V.
Location: India
Carrier: Idea
use Firefox....best

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

I could not get it to work but double tab on screen. Anyone has this issue?
I can't get it to either.. Too bad we can't use AOSP browser..
Yup same thing here, used Opera instead.
Same. Chrome sucks and the aosp browser isn't in the stock rom. I don't care about flash but chrome just is a complete mess.

New update fixes it, but turns off Flash. Update with caution.

This was posted by a user called Glace at the Google Play:
I was excited by all the features and customization of this browser, but using SwiftKey Keyboard, inserting a space into a textarea scrolls the page down and doesn't insert the space. I even tried copying a space and pasting it in and it did the same thing. That makes this browser useless for my purposes, which is a shame.

I expirience the same problem on Paranoid Android 2.13 with both Swype and the stock keyboard. On my Galaxy S with Android 4.0 does that bug not exist.
Could somebody else test if the could reproduce the problem? Please post what ROM you use.

Btw, other than that, best browser from all that I tested! And I think I tested nearly all
Same problem here. I messed around with the settings a little bit but found no such solution to the problem.

Paranoid Android 2.16 same deal.
Paranoid Android 2.1799 faux kernel. Same.

I've been trying this browser, seems to work well. I keep going back to Firefox, but this one is still on my N7, that's a good sign! Not rooted, so hopefully none of the keyboard issues posted here.
Same problem on Kaos Droid ROM. Shame.

So I'm using the Mimicry 1.5.0 ICS ROM, and when I downloaded Facebook, it looks all zoomed in. Its hard to explain so I guess you'll have to see for yourself. I've tried multiple times uninstalling and reinstalling the app. I've erased and re installed the ROM and it always comes out this way. Hopefully someone can find a fix for me. And i've tried using FriendCaster, but I would much rather prefer the Facebook app instead, so please don't suggest apps. Thanks in advance!
Please!

I am suffering from the same issue. This weird zoom-in thing happens also on my current rom "cm10 testbuild-120". It was same on Mimicry 1.5 as mentioned above. Pics through the news feed doesn't look properly and overflow my screen. On my friend's nexus and desire c with stock sense, there seems to be no problem with app layout or another issue. Any help appreciated, please

Good to see I'm not the only one with that issue. They really have to fix it because its really annoying and I've tried using friend caster and I don't like it compared to the Facebook app.

You are right that Friendcaster is not a complete alternative to FB. BTW, i do not have much hope for help because probably we are the only insist on using that damn FB thing

I know you guys said no replacement apps but have you guys tried fast for facebook from the play store. Never had any issues in ics

So it looks like its a problem on stock ICS only. I decided to flash the gen.Y sense 4 ROM, and the facebook app looks normal.

What browser do y'all use with your shiny m8? I disabled the stock one and am using chrome. But I wonder.....what if there are better
Also given the lack of ROM development what ROM are y'all on?
I'm unrooted stock sense but 99% sure I'm going to go with a gpe conversion.
I've tried plenty of browsers but I end up coming back to chrome in the end.
At the moment I'm running ViperRom and elementx kernel.

Chrome is what I have been using as well gotta love that password and bookmarks sync

The new Javelin browser is amazing and worth taking a look at. I am very satisfied with it!
Another vote for stock chrome. Syncing your bookmarks across all devices is just too nice.
+1 for stock Chrome.
I've been a Dolphin user since it was first developed, but Chrome just runs so well on this device that there's no way I'm going back to Dolphin now.
