chrome phone crash? ICS

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

Facebook cannot upload photo

I've had this problem on every single rom and even my other android phone, the sidekick 4g. I've bee using myalbum for the past month or so , but I prefer the Facebook app uploader, any solution ? Seems that many people are having this problem.

Still can't get it to work, I'm pretty sure nothing is wrong with either of the phones, i tried a 3g slide also and it didn't work. Could someone maybe give me like a step by step thing for maybe security settings? I don't see any relating to the fb app, also looking at the apps settings, theres nothing that says facebook for android.

Same problem here. No solution yet.
Anyone?

try with another device. Do you have tablet or any other phone?
How about desktop can you upload it from there?

It works just fine with other devices. I thought it could be setting in facebook but it works everywhere but on my SGS3. And I think problem started after the last update of the app.

Agree, I have latest Rocket Rom v7 on my Galaxy Note and I get same error with the latest Facebook update. It's cleary a program error since I can upload pictures to Facebook with FaceUp!
I think this is really frustrating and I hope that FB will fix this.

Works on neither of my android phones. Desktop works of course, maybe ill try from a non android phone?

What carrier do you have? if its simple mobile, i experienced this problem, and had problems loading facebook/browser.
I deleted the proxy in my simple mobile APN settings
Working now!

I have T-Mobile , but I don't think that matters because it doesn't work on either wifi or 4g

Try to change visibility settings when upload a photo.

Try clearing app data in your applications settings for the app.

Nope didn't work, and for visibility , I can only change the visibility for individual pictures in the mobile uploads album , unless im missing something?

I don't know the fix for this, but for alternative tool you could use the Instagram app and it's doing great job posting pictures.
Check on Google Play for Instagram
Great Day

Friendcaster
Switched over to this app last night, also T-Mo, Southern CO and the app itself after latest update is trash. Constant FC and the like

I use myalbum to upload pictures and It works fine , kinda used to it now, I was just hoping that I can get the actual fb app to work
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

same issue
i always thought it was a network error because restarting the phone usually worked but i was at the races in watkins glen this weekend with a full 4g connection on all areas i was in and it wouldnt load anything. restarted pulled battery i even tried differant albums and differant camera apps i tried everything it would not upload a photo. So after this weekend i believe its a facebook app error and really needs to be looked into

Everything greyed out after logging in?

Hey. As of two days ago whenever I log in while browsing XDA on my phone, all the text on the page goes from black to grey. This doesn't happen if I stay logged out. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
It's almost as if the page loaded some kind of popup and greyed everything out (but there's no popup).

I have the same problem. If I turn off java script it solves the issue but then every other website is crap.
Any ideas? It only happens on my android transformer prime, like some overlay on the screen.

Hmm, this is a new one. What browser are you using?

Was using the stock JB/CM10 browser (for the S2/Hercules).
Noticed this issue went away a soon as I reverted back to CM9.

I am also having this problem on my Note using Maxthon browser.

For me it's working pretty good. CM9.1 stock browser + dorimanx kernel 5.90.
Trying to upload my screenshot from XDA app but it's giving me an error...both tapatalk or foum option

Anybody ever figure this one out? I am experiencing the same. I am on Galaxy Note with stock browser and CM10. If I log out, it all looks normal, when I log in, is all cloudy, pics and all...
Edit: It went away for me if I disable java script.....but this breaks other stuff so its not a fix, just a symptom lol

Confirming that switching the Theme to 2010 solves the issue (multiple devices).
Thank you.

Come on XDA fix your themes please!! :laugh:

I have the same issue using my Nexus 10 stock with Dolphin browser beta. The problem only apeared when I'm logged in.
Disable JavaScript solved the issue temporary.
Please xda can someone fix the bug!

Change the theme on xda to 2010

Facebook App Zoomed In?

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

browser fc after 4.2.1 update

the browser fc after 4.2.1 update, test it with the factory image and custom rom, same resolt
it fc on sites like android atuthority and many others..
anyone else?

I have the same issue.
Clearing the cache did not help.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Same here... with different ROMs. It started yesterday when I had a 4.1.2 custom ROM. It shows the same behaviour after wiping everything and flashing several 4.1 or 4.2.1 ROMs.

Same here. I think It's a javascript error, but disable javascript is not a good solution.

I hope it's not intentionally bug creation to make users use chrome browser.

Same here. I've even gone back and reloaded a couple of backup roms I had saved that I know worked fine and all the 3rd party browsers fc.

Hmm, I couldn't replicate the issue. Sites are opening fine for me desktop and mobile versions alike.
I have a GSM GNex, i9250, stock 4.2.1, rooted, custom recovery.

It is not FC exactly. It just closes on you. It happens to me while I browse phonearena.com
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Are ther any news about this issue? It definitely does not occur on all webpages, but on some. The next thing I will try is to use a different browser.

Try disabling flash in browser settings or just switch on demand.
I noticed it closes on sites with high flash content

Thanks for the hint. What actually seems to work is disabling javascript.

If you star this issue, a google dev may get interested: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40784&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars

I am experiencing the same issue
Jelly bean sorcery3.1 (android 4.2.1)
Phone now seems sluggish in general and the browser seems to be force closing all the time
Also getting a lot of SOD's and general unresponsiveness
Weird thing is I've been on this rom for a while and it just recently seems to be doing this
edit: my mistake, my rom is actually 4.1.2 so maybe its an unrelated problem but my browser is still extremely unstable

It seems unrelated to the android version you are running. My 4.1.2 tablet browser started crashing also recently. To complicate matters browsing in incognito mode seems to solve problems even with javascript enabled.

Done.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I have the same issue. Was on an AOSP 4.2.1 ROM and switched back to a 4.1.2 instead (fresh wipe/flash, even formatted system before flashing 4.1.2 ROM) and still getting it with the stock browser. Visited the same websites on the chrome browser and no closes. You guys are right though, it's not a normal "FC". It just closes and brings you back to the homescreen, almost like if you just hit the home button. When I go to open the browser back up, sometimes the page will load back up from scratch, but sometimes it will just bring me to blank page (my homepage) and I have to start all over to get back where I was.
EDIT:
Also commented on the link above and voted on it.

I have exactly the same issue. I just purchased the gn 2 days ago. I let it update from the stock image. I only rooted and added busybox with a to available here on xda.
With some site the browser window disappear. I also noticed that all tabs are gone when I open the browser again: it just reset all open windows.

I don't have this issue anymore.
I think that Google Play Services were auto updated. I'm not sure if this is what resolved the issue.
