[Q] Xda site tabs keeps refreshing?

I am new to the site, I have been using it to learn a lot, I love it. I have one complaint, the sites pages continually refresh. Usually I have several tabs open most of which are Xda and the continued refreshing is slowing everything down.
Just a note I have a hard lined win7 PC, a Mac book pro, and a Win7 laptop all of which have FF and Crome the Mac has Safari and both PC's have IE I have checked all browsers and all three computers, this refreshes nearly continually on every thing. Is there anything I can do to stop this on my end, its really irritating.

I would like some feedback on this too as it is REALLY irritating. Especially on the phone because the address bar keeps coming up and interfering with reading of Xda threads. Most of the time I get so frustrated with it I just say forget it and wait until I can view on my computer.
I assume it has to do with the ad's regenerating or something??
Any way to turn it off or something?

all this refreshing when browsing from work is not a good thing either.

I am experiencing the same problem of refreshing, but also my XDA tab(s) crash and restarts itself. I can't really search, post, or do much with this site since it keeps refreshing and crashing. I have Windows 7 (64-bit) using IE 8.

my guess is that it has something to do with the ads. im using google chrome with the extension "adblock" installed and i am not experiencing this issue. however, when i use firefox (which does not have any adblocking plug in installed) the pages seem to refresh every so often.

Yeah, the audio ads are VERY annoying too.

I only have the issue on my Nexus 7. When I view the site from my PCs it seems to work fine, but from my tab its horrible with the refreshing.

AirDroid error loading folder undefined

Hallo,
Is somebody using AirDroid?
The very first time I tryed it on the GN it worked all very well.
Now I was trying to put some pictures on my phone but it appears that AirDroid can't recognize my phone or something. It doesn't show the battery % for example. And when selecting "files" it just tells me "errror loading folder undefined".
Did somebody else have this?

I've been using AirDroid pretty regularly for the last week or so and I haven't had any problems with it so far with the exception of some minor connectivity issues once in awhile.

I have no idea why it stopped working.
that's what it looks like to me: http://oi42.tinypic.com/1zwkrxj.jpg

Have you tried clearing app data and/or reinstalling?

Yes, both. Still same problem.

I had the same issue with files you describe in Firefox, and it worked in Chrome. I assumed it had something to do w/ my use of NoScript, as I'll have issues with sites sometimes despite everything on the page being whitelisted, but in any case you might give that a shot if you are in fact using Firefox.

I am using Chrome as well. OP should definitely try a different browser.

Yes, I'm using Firefox. But the only addon I am using that prevends AirDroid from working could be Adblock.
I try another browser but if Firefox really is the problem I'm not going to switch.

Are you guys experiencing browsers crashing?

I just can't surf on the internet comfortable, because my browsers(next browser, boat browser, chrome) are just crashing a lot! I can't open 5 tabs, even 1 opened tab can cause crash. I just wanna know how it's with your phones. I'm currently on trinity rom.

Maybe your device went in OOM condition and killed the browser you were using :/
How is your ram usage?

[Q] Stock Chrome browser slow loading pages

All,
Have any of you new G4 owners been experiencing ridiculously slow page loading times with the stock browser? My old GS3 loads web pages much faster in Chrome by comparison, as does my work iPhone. What gives?!
Thanks in advance!

Same here. With stock chrome it's lagging when i watch a movie on website.

Have you tried a different version of chrome like the beta, or my favorite right now, Chrome Dev?

I haven't tried any other versions of chrome...did notice that I wasn't even able to load a page at all while photos were uploading, wonder it has to do more with how it's handling data traffic.

I've noticed it also happens when using the "in app" browsers in Facebook or Twitter. I've also tried increasing the memory available to chrome using by typing in by changing maximum tiles for interest area to 512 to no avail.

I'm beginning to think this may be a wifi connection issue, even tho my wifi tests faster than the 4G connection. Pages are loading much more quickly over 4G.

Yes i think this is wifi related also... Same happens to me but only on wifi

It just seems to have problems loading web pages for me. Sometimes I will just get black squares but other times it just wont load. I will refresh and get nothing for awhile. I'm doing this at home where my Note 4 wasn't having a problem. Also doing this on cellular data. I doubt this is a network issue.

I did try chrome beta and Opera mini- opera was faster due to the data compression, but chrome beta was just as slow to load.

Root-Adaway problem solved tolpic closed xD

I've noticed insanely slow loading times using IPv6 over WiFi with some Comcast modems, so I rooted and disabled v6. Dunno if you guys are having the same issue, but it fixed my problems. Apps like Instagram were slow to load/refresh as well, though.

yup had this issue on my note 3, only improved on disabling adaway. so far its not occurred on my g4 using adaway so not even sure what triggers it.

Internet Explorer 11 freezes on Forum pages

Whenever I browse using my IE11 browser to the XDA Developers Forum page, the browser HANGS and must be stopped using TASK MANGER. I sometimes get an error that a long running script is running, but it still hangs or goes in circles with the long running script pop-up.
Chrome browser works perfectly, BTW.
I have Windows 8.1 computers, and this happens on my laptop and my desktop.
I have tried most everything I can think of for months. Reinstall IE 11, complete virus scans and adware scans, stopped Avira antivirus...
Any help on this?

Same here, just started maybe a week or two ago.

This is being discussed here,

Feel free to join in there! :good:
I'll close this thread.

Don't know why XDA keeps breaking the website for IE11.
This is now the second time within ~1 month that XDA was broken.
Also: if it gets broken, why not roll back to the last version that actually worked?
Somebody doesn't seem to know what they are doing.

It's being looked into. I'll flag the server admin again.
