Every maybe 10 second of browsing my internet keeps closing. Then when I open it again it reverts back to my google homepage ? Any ideas ?

Which browser / ROM ? Try disabling flash.
Try something to see if it helps you with your problem.
Go to Settings and tap the Wi-Fi, go to the upper right corner where the 3 vertical dots are located and tap on them
select Advanced, and you are in the Advanced Wi-Fi tab. Find the setting by the name Auto-disconnect and if it is checked, uncheck it. It seems that if this setting is checked, for some reason unknown to me, it keeps disconnecting frequently. As for the matter of your web browser that takes you each time to google or whatever page it is taking you it is because that particular page is set as Homepage by default or by you accidentally. Try to find the settings in whatever browser it is you are using ang change the Homepage to the one of your liking. I wish i could help you more but at the moment i can't think of anything else...:fingers-crossed:
I havent rooted me phone yet, but thanks ill try that now

Does it work for anyone? Page just refreshes but the debug options never open...
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Works perfectly fine for me
It doesn't open the debug options. You type about:debug then go into the browser settings.
This is to worry :s if they did disable debugging than we can't freely tether we'll have to use tmos native tether app for 15 dollars FOL lol glad I haven't gotten the update and will decline if this is true

He's talking about the about:debug command in the browser. Not USB debugging in settings.

That's what I'm saying though, it worked prior to the OTA, now it won't on my phone. Just refreshes, no options added in settings.

My debugging still works fine after OTA.
Strange. Tried again, just plain won't work on my phone anymore. So bizarre.
Everything works fine on my G2 after OTA "manual" update. Debugging and everything, havn't found anything not working yet. cross fingers.
What is it supposed to do? I'm post-OTA (via OTA), and when I type in "about:debug" in the browser, it does nothing, and the browser settings don't seem any different than before.
Brad
mines still work.
Just to be sure we are all on the same page...
I just opened my browser and hit menu=>more and at the bottom of that list was "settings". Clicking on settings takes me to a page that ends with the "Advanced settings" group which has "website settings" and "reset to default". This is the stock setup.
I then typed "about:debug" in the browser's URL field and hit the go button and the text disappeared and nothing happened to the browser window. But, now when I click "menu => more" and scroll down there are 2 new items on that menu below "settings" to dump various debug info. If I then click on "Settings" I see a new section after "Advanced Settings" called "Debug" which has 9 new configuration settings.
Hopefully that's the way everyone's phones work.
For reference, I applied the OTA manually...
I've never messed with About:debug until after I got the OTA, and it worked fine for me
I had the same issue with C6 but no other rom has this problem the me icon is grey in texts and it doesn't evn show the box like I know its not major but idk consider it ocd or something but it urks me lol am I the only one with this issue or is there away to correct

Go to Settings > About Phone > Status > My Phone Number
You can enter your phone number there. Once you do so, it should display whatever image you have setup for 'me'.
I am running 6.1 at the moment and this fixes the problem but only TEMPORARILY. The phone number does not persist through a reboot so you have to re-enter it everytime. Not sure if this has been fixed in CM7 RC's or not. Check that thread in Android Development.

definitely well known issue with CM6. CM7 recognizes the number and brings it in every time.
Thank you! Lol that was extremely helpful

I am running CM7 RC1 and my phone number says "Unknown" and it is hard coded. I am unable to edit that. You know of a fix? My "me" icon is blank as well.
Figured it out go to settings/call settings/ additional settings and in there u can edit my phone number and it'll pick up quick

Pretty sure I already said this lol.
But fwiw my icon still greys out even though CM7 recognizes my number. It also doesnt recognize a few of my contacts for pulling facebook pictures down.
U told me to go to about phone I can't edit there and check u might have doubles or triples of certain contacts n it won't use the pic jus seek them out and join them or delete the doubles. And if u have a pic set it should use it. I don't like using fb pics cuz its a bunch of ppl I never talk too lol
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Yea well I don't have doubles its really weird. Just 3 of my contacts won't pull in pictures and it won't pull in my picture either.
I do use Facebook a bit. I have it set to only sync pictures with existing contacts, not pull in ALL contacts from facebook to my phone. That would be ridiculous.
So when you go to contacts and type the name of the person the pic won't show it only shows one? Cause when I scroll thru contacts it don't show the doubles when I searched them for some reason I had a lot of doubles. And after u went to call settings and added your number and your phone recognized it did u add urself as a contact?

Yea I even checked via gmail through my contacts lists I have no duplicates. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the FaceBook app and logging out/in again.
As far as my picture, I've tried creating a contact card for myself and it doesn't work.
few days ago, my friend was using my note 2 to look up something on the internet. when the screen came up asking if he wanted to use the internet or the popup browser and always or just this once, he chose internet and always. i was looking a way to reset those options, so i can choose if i want to use full screen browser or the popup browser. anyone know how to reset it back? thanks in advance
Go to settings ..applications.. Then whatever browser is set as default and tap clear default

Hi, after a little time (1-2 hours, i don't know it exactly) that I don't enter in xda-deverlopers.com website it requests me to sign in even if I selected "Remember me" on the login form and i didn't log out. I use Chromium, I tried to wipe my cookies but it's always the same. The only reason I thought is that when I enter with the Android app it closes my existing session. Ideas? Thanks.
I don't get logged out when I use the XDA app, it might be different with newer versions.
Anyway, in Chromium: Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Privacy > Content Settings > "Allow local data to be set" should be checked.
Also check you're not clearing your cookies (either directly or using a 3rd party program).

Nothing of these... :crying:
I block only 3rd-party cookies, but it's only google/youtube stuff. forum.xda-developers.com is allowed.
EDIT: I notice now that 4 cookies (__utmc __bblh __bblogedin and __bbsessionhash) expire when the navigation session is closed.
I have the same problem with Chrome, too.

I'm experiencing the same problem as well. When I close my browser & then try to get back to XDA, I'll have to log in again, and this has been happening for probably about a year now. It's quite frustrating.
Same issue here, started noticing it in the last couple of weeks. I looked at my cookies and see that "xdaloggedin" cookie is set to expire in 15 min by default, regardless if Remember Me is checked.
Using the latest stable version of Chrome.
It seems a Chrome/Chromium-related bug. My laptop with Opera successfully keep me logged in after 1 day.
Inviato dal mio Sony Xperia Sole attraverso l'app ufficiale xda-developers
yup same problem here on chrome
gotta add my 2 cents:
i'm on PaleMoon (FF source) and i have to log in every time i open the forum in the browser :/
any solution for this frustrating bug?
I also have this problem, but...
Every time I start Chrome or idle for some time and visit the forum index (http://forum.xda-developers.com/), it appears that I am not logged in. If I click "Forget password", it will go to the "Forget password" page, but then on the top-right corner it says I am logged in. After that if I go back to the index page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/index.php) or whatever page, it will continue to say that I am logged in.
But then if I go back to http://forum.xda-developers.com/, it says I am not logged in, not until I do a complete refresh (Ctrl + F5) then it says I am logged in again.
It is even stranger that if I go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/ and press Ctrl + F5 before clicking on the "Forget password" link, it will continue to show that I am not logged in.

Ya the same problem happens on my chrome I have to login every time even though I click remember me...

Same thing happens to me in Chrome, but it seems fine in IE. I think I'd rather carry on logging in than use IE though...

I just started having this problem in Chrome, too. I agree, I'd rather log in constantly than switch to IE.
Though, I have to say, Chrome is becoming somewhat unreliable. Just yesterday, Chrome froze when ebay tried connecting me to paypal to pay for a purchase. IE handled the same interaction just fine. That should always be the low end of your bookmark: "Do better than IE."
...same for me but as soon as I click on any room then it recognize me as logged-in AND
after 20 seconds
--- if I click back on my XDA favorites shortcut it keeps me logged-in
---- if I click on the forum home-page icon it recognize me as logged-in
I've been having this issue since I started using the forums, and I use Firefox exclusively, so it can't be a Chrome-only issue.
i get logged off only if i check forums via xda android app (which is terribly slow after last update). ohhh i use firefox
Hey guys, try clearing your cache in the browser you're experiencing the issue. I've had this problem as well, but seemed to be resolved after clearing cache/cookies.

I've had this issue on both Firefox and Chrome for a long, long time. I've never understood why my login is not persistent but have just lived with it... 'til now.
I'll try the above fix and see what that does for me.
Hey
Every time I open a web link the tab s keeps asking me to select which browser I wish to use even when I tell it to remember my selection, it doesn't.
I've installed the chrome samsung app but did nothing.
Seems to do it on both beta and the standard app.
Any ideas?
I think I saw that happen on a new tab s 10.5. If I can remember correctly it only happened when the browser was being launched from specific apps. This is on my sister's tablet which I was showing her how to use so I can't retest, sorry. I only noted the odd interaction because it happened that the browser was the first time that the dialogue with "Always" came up and we chose always for Chrome but it came up a second time and my sister asked why?
A theory is that multiple URL extensions ".html" and ".htm" and a variety of others (e.g. Streaming extensions) may all need to be added to the default app list. That is just a theory.

no as even if I go back to the original web link and click it a second time, its still asking which browser to use and whether I can to set as 'default' or 'use just once'.
After seeing a device on display in a shop, which didnt do this, I determined my device must have been fault so they exchanged it.
However the new one is doing exactly the same...!
Is no one else with a tab s having this issue?
I'm still having this issue.
It is not just chrome browser but any app where different options are available. On my other devices you can select which one to use as default or use an an 'just once'.
I fear my tablet has alzheimers.
Found it woo hoo. ...After 2 hours taking off app by app, it national express UK, anyone else having this problem try removing an app at a time after a factory reset. They've been informed!
