I use Google.com for my browser and never had any issues with it until today. When I load Google.com it comes up very quyickly as it should but it just keeps reloading and reloading until i force stop it or back out of it. Sometimes it will work OK but more times than most it will just constantly reload. No other web pages I set up to be my home page does this happen to. I'm wondering is Google.com having issues and I just don't know about it, (I hope) Any help would be welcomed.

Same thing was happening to me for the past few days. I never had that happen before. It would just keep reloading.. The bar would just keep going half way over, then reload. I un installed the stock browser and installed Chrome. Didn't know what else to do.. BTW.. I'm on AOKP Liquid Smooth RC9 if that makes a difference... It started after updating from RC8.

Same issue here starting today, running Stock 4.1.1. I have also noticed that my Amazon App Store is having the same refresh issue.

I am on completely stock and just all of a sudden My stock Google browser starting doing exactly what you just pointed out. I noticed if I signed out of the browser (on the phone) it would stop reloading. I also have the SGS2 using it strictly on wifi and the same thing was happening to that one as well. I signed out of that one and it also stopped.
As I said I am completely stock without root and it still happened so it isn't because you flashed a different rom. Hoping this is a hiccup in the Google browser and will somehow fix itself with a possible update.
Any changes I will let you know by posting it right here.

Well it's good to know this is on Google's side. It started doing this last night for me. I use the page multiple times a day without any problem until now... The problem seems to be in the mobile view so switch to classic for now and it will fix the problem. The mobile version keeps trying to ping your location but gets an error of unknown location. All the GPS settings do nothing to effect it.

Thanks for the tip, I just signed out of the mobile version and all was OK. At least I know it isn't my phone.
Thanks,

Has anyone found a real fix for this issue. As I said I just signed out of Google.com from the browser and am able to use it without it reloading. I tried signing back in and it started reloading immediately. Very annoying. I can not figure out why all of a sudden that Google.com just keeps reloading???
Any input would be well appreciated.
Thanks,
Vinny

Experiencing same issue on my galaxy s3 stock rom.
Just started a day ago, what is going on?
A lot of users are reporting same issue in other forums as well.
And its not phone specific - seems to be hitting all kinds of newer phones...???

There seems to be a few "bugs" going around since the 4.1.1 JB (JellyBean) update. So far I have found the "Refresh Bug" and the "Non-Stock Keyboard Bug".
The solution I posted earlier seems to be working fine for me (Stock 4.1.1) so far.. 'crosses fingers'
Within the next few seeks we should see a rollout of the 4.1.2 OTA update which will solve a lot of bugs us "Stock" users are experiencing + Added features.
Hold tight and be patient as we should find a permanent solution soon.

I have tried just about everything and the only thing that works if you want to use the Mobile Version of the stock browser is just to remain signed OUT. Don't think it is Jelly Bean related because I have had Jelly Bean for a while now and this just started yesterday afternoon I think for me. I use that for my browser, use it daily and it worked great right up until yesterday. ( I think it might be just T-Mobile related because I also have a Verizon HTC Rezound and this isn't a problem on that phone )

You got it wrong buddy. This is not an issue with jellybean or the os.
Read up and you will see this is happening in various os. There is even a thread that is reporting the same issue on iOS.
It is something with the Google mobile site that is affecting some phones.

Been seeing the same issue on my S2. It's become an incredible annoyance.
Noticed just a little while ago that turning off "Precise Location" in the Settings for Google (at the bottom of the page) has seemed to fix my problem. Not sure if it'll last, but for now I can relax again... lol.
Quick Update
I was having exact problems, on ATT Galaxy S3, Stock, running ICS....Today, I updated on Kies, to JB...all problems are gone....I can sign into Goggle, ..and no more constant refreshes ...

I've been having issues with the stock News & Weather widget for a month or two.
I love the weather widget. There's nothing else styled like it, and I prefer the look of it over virtually every other weather app on the market.
Problem is, it won't update. When I setup the widget, it just says 'No weather information to display.' I click through the widget, and it says weather is unavailable for my location. So, I refresh it, sometimes once, sometimes a dozen times, and it finally loads the weather.
Not a big deal, if it was only when I rebooted my phone, or something like that... but it's every single time my weather refreshes.
Now, it's not just one phone. I have 2 Gnex's on AT&T, a Nexus S, and an AT&T-branded Galaxy S II. The stock weather widget does the same thing on all of them.
And, it's not just me, nor is it my location. I have a few friends with Android phones - one with AT&T in San Francisco, one with Verizon in NW Tennessee, one with Verizon in Indiana, and a few with T-Mo, Verizon and AT&T in NJ. Every single one of them is having the exact same problem.
This widget worked perfectly until, say, mid-November, and then it just broke. I hoped it was just my GSII, but I had the same problem when I got my GNex. Then I started asking people, and, well, here we are.
I can't believe there's nothing really out there. I've searched XDA, I've searched Google, and I'm just not finding anything significant, which I would think it would be, considering how many people I know who are having the problem.
So, is anyone on here having the same problem? I can't imagine no one at Google is seeing this problem, with the exposure I've seen personally.
And, for the record, location services are set to use Wifi, etc, on all phones. Configuration shouldn't be the issue, but I'd be more than happy to try anything someone may suggest.
I've also grabbed the supposedly-revamped geniewidget.apk from 4.0.4, and not only is it not really revamped, but it has the same issue.
Thanks!
Same problem on both my mytouch 4g slide, and my tansformer prime. For the last few days I can get no update even refreshing. Tried in multiplte cities both with wifi and cell.

You are not alone - I have two yakju stock-stock android phone with T-mobile USA and they both have the same problem.
BTW, don't be surprised - google ain't exactly known for its attention to detail, otherwise they would have made direct control access to the three color leds easier and less stressful on the battery.
settings>location services>google`s location service, gps sat, location & google search.
check it all, and thank me !!!

I've had them all checked on all of my devices and it makes no difference. Setting a static location makes no difference either (the problem still occurs). I don't believe it's a location retrieval issue, rather a data retrieval issue.
A while back the team that did was was soliciting feedback for widget improvements (post Nexus One launch) on the Google support forums, I don't suspect they are still doing that though seeing as how the forum is dead
Same here....on both GB CM7 and ICS 4.0.4 on different phones...lately it almost completely stopped working.
I remember this was an issues 1-2 years ago and google blamed weather.com for this.

I've had the same problem on my Nexus S running ICS and my galaxy nexus. I don't understand how google still hasn't fixed this problem on 4.0.4. Kind of embarrassing that they can't even get a stock widget to work.

If you really need the wheather info, go for Go Wheather, works great for me, and get an app for the local news, I did it like that, cause the widget isnt working for me either.

I like the fact that its 2 in 1 weather and news.....
my favorite news widget also doesnt work .....the Scrollable News Widget : )
Been having this more and more. Now i can't even put in a zip code as it says can't find location.
i'm running CM9 on SGS2 but happened with all devices. Anyone ever look at a logcat to see where it's trying to get the data from?
Nexus S here, ICS 4.0.4.
Even before I updated to ICS, I've noticed this issue with the weather widget on a daily basis, but now that that I did update, sadly this problem is ongoing. But whereas before (Gingerbread), it updated if I pressed 'try again' a few times, now it's hopelessly not updating. Only thing that seems to work is if I clear the data though the apps and set it up again. Definitely broken. And just like some of you have noted on here (and other posters on other sites), All sync and location features are enabled. I don't have any custom codes running on this phone.
When it does work, I am faced with a secondary problem: I live in a border city (Windsor, Canada), with Detroit being right across from the river, and even though I have a custom location selected, it randomly displays "Detroit" - which annoys me to no end because clearly the custom location does work since it does display it correctly at times. I've tried postal code, I've tried "Windsor, ON, Canada" (which is what the server uses on The Weather Network website). If I switch to 'Use my location', it almost always shows Detroit, with the occasional Windsor showing up. Detroit weather and Windsor weather can be as different as night and day, so it does matter that I am shown the wrong location, for heaven's sake, it's not even the same country!
Anyways, first post on here, hope the feedback helps. Thanks.
I find the problem happens often as well, though it almost seems like for me it's directly related to if it can see a gps signal.
If I'm driving in my car - I tend to be able to get the weather.
If I'm inside at work, or overnight with the phone on the bedstand - no weather information.
Sometimes using GPSTest and clear/update AGPS, then going back to weather settings and refresh will do it... but not consistently enough for me to think they're related.
Question - do you guys have general Sync turned off? I notice that i'll try to sync 10 times and it'll fail but if I turn on Sync in settings it works on the first try.

My Genie widget is fine....I am not sure why you folks are having issues.
My Stock Nexus S weather Widget was fine (with occasional hiccup) until it was updated to ISC 4.0. Now since ISC4.0.3 and even after ISC 4.0.4 the weather widget will not update (yes I've tried all options to no avail!!!) unless I'll reset it and re-add the widget.
I bought other weather apps but none of them have something similar that I like (the next 24hr graph). If anyone has a solution it would be much appreciated. Google does not seem to care...
****ing Google, how hard is it to fix this stupid widget. Its been problematic since Nexus One !

Oh wait, mine works.
Since like 2 days I was on GummyNex everything was always super fast no problems and now I cant get any rom to work good with my phone...
What happens:
1) App Drawer Lags (at random time it stops lagging , then lags again)
2) Scrolling through home screen lags (at random time , then lags again when scrolling again)
3) exiting any app (randomly starts lagging, then it's fine again)
i will post a video once my blackberry playbook gets charged I really dont know what to do!
tried gummy nex (now on AOKp) , tried android revolution
every rom has the same issue... installing for example franco kernel does nothing :/
i reall dont want to go back to stock.. but since android revolution is pretty much stock 4.0.2 i dont want to think that my gNex is screwed because I didnt buy insurance on the phone from VZW (the 6.99 monthly)

2. fastboot flash google stock images... problem still happen?
if no, flash ROM.
MIUI rom with franco.Kernel turn my boring useless GN into much better phone. smooth, fast, and thousands of theme to choose from. it even make my screen much more beautiful.

1. Did it many times with recovery if thats what you mean
2. Would the tool that root your phone i forgot how was it called it did all the job for you (if i reverted and then flashed stock and root again) would that be ok?
right now AOKP seems to be okay it is really random... when I connect to USB from my PC it lags badly. I will wait few days and see what happens next but would like feedback from you anyway. tHanks!
@zeke I actually hate MIUI and the stock launcher is awful I like having app-drawer like in gingerbread roms ICS etc.. but thanks

I'm stock and everything you're experiencing i am too. The phone is a bit laggy because of the HD res. But atleast opening programs and everything its super fast. I only lag when i scroll fast, most people don't even notice the lag. its all depends on you. I'm used to having a 120hz computer monitor, I notice lag on my old 60hz LCD monitor just by dragging around windows on my desktop.
Try this
First go to recovery, format all partitions one by one. if possible, copy all data of sdcard to computer and format it too.
Then using fastboot flash the recovery again. (if you dont know how to use fastboot, just ask)
using the recovery, install a fresh rom.

so I am not alone at least , fast scrolling also lags but when opening app drawer or pressing the navigation button it shouldnt lag for like 3-4 seconds like when you see that you pressed the button for those 3-4 seconds

Unfortunately if you send it to Samsung they will not send you a phone first. What you have to do is get a loaner phone from Verizon or whatever you provider is. They'll give you a temporary replacement phone until Samsung sends you one back. I know this because I'm currently using a loaner phone from Verizon while my original GNex is going to Samsung for screen issues.

What kind of Loaner phone did they provide you?
Thanks for the response. I am uploading video right now so please check back soon
EDIT:
Also when I tried going to samsung site and request service when you select Symptoms.. they didnt really have any that would match my issue like defective hardware.. all their symptoms are if you damaged the phone which makes no sence I think I will need to call them
I truly think its gotta be something with verizon nexus phones. Maybe they did something different we arent aware of with that version.

Another Galaxy Nexus! Although I can't guarantee that you'll receive the same. If they try to give you something else or nothing at all, say you don't want to pay for half a billing cycle without being able to use the features you're paying for. You'll also need to show them the email from Samsung proving you're sending your phone to them.

I didnt buy my phone directly from Verizon Store I bought it from Newegg.com so I assume I would have to deal with them so send me temporary phone. Video is being converted right now on youtube check back soon
No, I doubt Newegg would send you one. It wouldn't hurt to try both companies, but I would try a corporate Verizon store first, if not Verizon Customer Service.
EDIT: I wouldn't mention you bought if from newegg either by the way.

It's there since I re-rooted... I am running out of ideas besides going to verizon store..
EDIT: I think I found a temporary solution.. "Minimalistic Kernel" it's like a life -savior. But that still means there is some problem with the phone.. at least that wont make me RAGE everytime I see lag.
Still waiting for someone to watch my video and tell me what to do. Apperciate all the help !
Can someone explain to me how does minimalistic kernel basically make all those problems go away and even stock does not?
so much trouble and one simple flash made it go away but I still will have it serviced I will make few calls.
Sorry for double posting
Hey guys, I've taken the GSM Galaxy Nexus beta and have ported it over to the CDMA/LTE version on Verizon Wireless for here in the states.
I can actually release this to say that I'm comfortable with it enough to use it as a daily driver. So here we go.

I'm not responsible if you break your phone, or your self esteem.
Make sure you wipe EVERYTHING. Including, Data, Cache, and Dalvik-Cache.
Fresh Install, let boot and enjoy.
A few important notes, the Download app found in the tools folder prevents you from downloading large apps through the market over the carrier network, simply go into the app settings to disable this if you don't want to connect to a wifi network.
As far as I can tell most everything is working correctly, however if you notice something amiss. Leave a note here.
Known Issues:
Gallary FC's
Fixed:
Wi-Fi Tether
Airplane mode FC's
GPS
Cheers guys!
I think I will give this a shot a little later. Trying out AOKP b30 right now but can't flash over in the middle of class. haha Looking forward to SOMEONE getting a solid MIUI build for the Gnex Thanks for the work!
Wow looks polished. I'd love to see a fully working MIUI rom that doesn't have all the weird freakouts or horrible battery drainage.
I'm afraid to flash because I get addicted to MIUI very easily and force myself to work through the bugs.
Do you plan on keeping this updated and actually trying to work out the bugs?

I usually release every Friday, unless life throws me a fastball.
The battery drain was super noticeable in the 2.3.30 build, but I think that it was related to an issue with the CM9 upstream that week. I've since have had acceptable battery life this week.
While it's not perfect I hope to polish it in the coming weeks. Now that Xiaomi is releasing beta builds for the Galaxy Nexus I can build more reliable roms instead of having to splice stuff up for the Nexus S beta. I think most issues should resolve themselves in the coming weeks.
Most MIUI roms I've used in the past (and on other devices) seem they come out with a semi-working rom with a few little bugs, but the dev only updates the MIUI code and never works on fixing the known problems. So after several MIUI version bumps, the bugs just keep piling on until it isn't even worthwhile anymore.
+1 for MIUI officially supporting the GN.
MIUI is super awesome. I'm in love with the dialer, messaging, and music app. The theme support is nice too.

I totally understand that. If it's something that's LTE/CDMA galaxy nexus specific I'm going to do anything and everything with in my power to remedy those bugs.
Until Xiaomi fully releases their source code (I think they're planning on doing that sometime this year) I'm left debugging in dalvik byte code land, which can is not for the faint of heart.
I'm glad that this is coming from an official beta. Rather than having to take on the task single handed, there is a whole team in China perfecting the experience for this very hardware.
nice!! thanks!
hope this works since the server is as slow as a snail...46kbps?!?!?!?! my internet is like 40mbps...why?!??!

This is the same rom found on miuiandroid.com
Thank you!! I've been running 2.3.23 and I've fallen in love with it, despite the few bugs I've come across. Definitely my daily driver until I get AOKP fever again.
Flashing now. I look forward to the support and use the camcorder all the time so hopefully that's taken care of soon
Thanks again
Does this version of MIUI support themes. The last time I had installing themes made it not work.
I loved MIUI on my fascinate and was waiting for it on the GN. The problem with the other versions was it seemed like the images and UI resolution wasn't playing nice with the phones screen. It didn't seem sharp more like it was blurry. Also 5 x 5 home screens didn't look right.
I really like the themeing MIUI so I'll give this a try tonight after I make my back up and don't need my phone.

Edit: Google Play FC's :-(
Edit 2: Works after clearing data. Went into xda app to edit this and that forced closed. Opened right after that though.
Tethering isn't working for me. It worked fine on a 2.3.xx version. It seems to turn on wifi but nothing can connect to it and the symbol doesn't show up in the status bar. Theming is sporadic. Neither my status bar, including the pull down menu and toggles nor phone, nor sms theme and it doesn't list local themes even though it has the "Downloaded" banner in the online section. It doesn't set fonts. I've tried several and rebooted several times.
The biggest thing for me however is the nav bar. I do not like the controls at all... I'd much prefer if they were ICS or customizable or even capable of being disabled. I also loved the old miui search opposed to the Google. A choice there would be awesome too.
While I'm here, any chance I could get help setting the language to Japanese instead of English or Chinese?
Thanks a mil for all of your time and hard work.

For the most part, yes. I've noticed so far that status bar, phone and font doesn't take. Confirmed SMS, home, lock, icons, and boot animations. Really hard to notice unless you're coming straight from another miui.
Edit: SMS theme is not working. Not sure if it was working when I wrote my reply or if I was mistaken but its not working now.

How is everybody's battery life on this rom? I couldn't even get 6 hours on the other miui roms for some reason and that was with little to no use. Any ideas??
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Wow this is my first time using MIUI and damn it's beautiful. I have heard great things about it. It's really a unique, interesting experience and has some great features. Google could learn a few things. I especially love how the notifications and sms work and how much more control you have over the notification led without a third party application. The lockscreen music player integration and control is extremely awesome as well. Installing imoseyon's lean kernel seemed to help smooth things out a bit too. Thanks for all the hard work porting it and keep up the great work on it.
Also tethering worked fine for me.
What's the different between this and the other miui rom from miui.us?
Status bar not only ignores themes but doesn't keep notifications while ob the home screens. It just has Verizon Wireless on the left. I don't know I missed a call unless I see it on my lockscreen or dock icon.

Would love to use this, but as with the last release, when I go to downloads it try's to download "Dictionary Update Information" over and over again, eventually resulting in thousands of failed downloads and causing my phone to get very hot. Tried wiping and installing a couple different times with no success.

This is caused by the Downloads app that defaults under a tools folder in the home screen
You can prevent it from happening by doing the following
In the Home Launcher screen by default there should be a folder called tools. Within the tools folder (or wherever you may have put it now) there is an app called Downloads.
After entering the App, go ahead and hit the menu button and select "Settings"
Now when you are finally here you have the option to turn off monitoring by deselecting "Data download prompt", or you can set a different value if you want it to control large file downloads if you are on a limited data plan.
How are you guys liking 4.2.2 so far? Are there things you think google could have done better?

Haven't seen any other thread so I'm posting here.
To start off, playing with the swiping keyboard is troublesome for me... I never liked Swype and I suck at swyping anyway tapping seems faster... Or maybe my finger isn't greased properly...
Otherwise, I have noticed that Agent Dash seems to stutter less in my 5 minutes of testing. The kernel's changed so I don't get those frequent flashing and random reboots (not yet anyway) (knock wood!).
No miracast streaming. No change in the radio performance thus far. There's a new antialiasing option in the Dev options though.
Seems alright, I'll say. Sans the swiping (which is a personal preference, cause it slows me down if I type carefully... Which you need to do if you want to make any sense... Go figure!)
sent from my mini tractor
I sense a lag after the update; even after two reboots.
The lock screen is almost rubbish IMHO. Its like having multiple screens with widgets.
As for the toggle I was expecting much much more. Don't mind the keyboard at all.
I don't have a 4.2 OTA, but I've been running the leaked apps on my Gnex for weeks.
Here's my impressions:
Keyboard is great for one-handed typing, I don't care who you are you have to admit that it makes it a little easier to type when you only have one had available and I'm a fan of it.
Camera is alright, I feel like the pictures (at least on the Gnex) didn't look as good as they should've but that was a .apk from a Nexus 4, so it's understandable. Also Photo Sphere works pretty well if you know how to take the pictures correctly and not move the phone around too much.
From what I've seen of the official 4.2 features, lock-screen widgets look really unfinished, quick settings needs some work and the ability to customize it, and I still don't know if HDR is on the Gnex yet.
Overall I'm a little skeptical if this will be a definitive "upgrade" or not.

Bad one, downgraded to 4.1.2
First thing is, that you cant use gesture typing on my languange (finnish) so useless feature. Locksreen is crap i think like comparing the ways to widget locker, android loses 5-0. the build is also laggy, and apps is crashing and i get reboots. Would not recommend this, maybe later when batter version is avaible

Everything seems to be running smoothly so far. I flashed 4.1.2 stock, unrooted, flashed the 4.2 zip and re-rooted and all that jazz.
Starting from new sucks (have to re-do screends and such), but it's also nice to start over fresh.
Lock screen are interesting but I find myself trying to swipe to the next one, but registers as a pattern instead (pattern password lock). When I start getting more texts/events I'll be able to find the usefulness of it all.
Swipe is really nice on the keyboard. I'm a button-press guy, but this is sort of refreshing. I like seeing the word develop as I move my finger around. Will I use the all the time? Maybe. I'll give it this week to test out.
Pull-down with quick settings is a useful feature. If it had data as well, that'd be amazing. I usually turn on wifi, turn off data just to make sure I'm not wasting it on my ATT plan. The icon for my name in the top left is kind of useless though. Just shows a small amount of contact information. Maybe it'll be the spot for profiles in the future.
Speed and performance is amazing as always. Ever since Jelly Bean it's been responsive and quick to load apps. Only when something is downloading in the background does the OS get a little sketchy. That's nothing to worry about though.
Remember to tap 7 times on About > Build Number to enable Developer Options. It's only been maybe half an hour, so I'll keep running through the various features to get the full experience down. Next up: Photo Sphere.
It's really smooth and stable for me. Even better than 4.1.2. I like the new styling and I fell in love with new additions right away. Like I mentioned before, I'm a bit bothered by a "recent apps" menu. Everythime I close (slide) an app, it laggs. The whole thing just blinks for a bit. Otherwise, everything runs well.
Oh, and I don't have "pinch to zoom" in Gmail.. checked in the settings, if I missed anything, but nothing... any ideas?

Damn, I must be blind... thank you so much!
Not particularly impressed with the lockscreen widgets. And the colors are terrible! Can't wait for a custom kernel to drop so I can get that sorted! Apart from that, it's been okay so far, except for the slightest bit of lag, which seems to have settled in now. I guess it's a little too early to tell since most of us would still be installing our apps and customizing it, etc. Can't say much about the keyboard since I'm not a very big fan of the swipe keyboard. I'm happier with SwiftKey!
Swype feature is working well. Camera looks good but forced closed few times. Once it hung and I had to take out my battery to restart.
Setting panel is a disappointment ..was expecting toggle to be available. Didn't face any lag.
Btw i don't see the thumbnail of clicked snap when my camera is on so I had to go to gallery to check the clicked snap.
Also new play store doesnt show manual updates seperately.

Can anyone tell me if wireless display is activated via the OTA? Am extremely interested to know if Miracast is a software feature or not.
The Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S builds still use the old 3.0 Linux kernel. Only the Nexus 4 build uses the newer 3.4 kernel. Is there a good reason why the new kernel isn't used in the other builds?

There have been apps available for years that accomplish the exact same thing, I can stream music/video to my AppleTV & PS3. So I see that as a total cop-out, if true.
I have tried everything I can think of to get Kies to successfully update my phone on Windows 8 with zero success.
Both WIndows and Kies are up to date.
I have tried running Kies as an Administrator (when you don't it tries to install a program when starting the process and crashes the install)
When you run as an Administrator it starts the process and then just freezes.
Any ideas?
First of all this is a question and it should be posted in Q&A.

Indeed it does....to be fair it isn't like Kies internally has that information posted or has a notification built in.
You shouldn't have to go to an unrelated source in order to be informed that a feature will not work on an App.
I do notice that the title of the thread mentions Jelly Bean. If you are trying to update to the official GB27 you can't be running JB. You need to be running FL24 ICS.
And Windows 8 is built off of 7, so there should be no problem running the update via Kies. I suggest uninstalling Kies and the drivers then reinstalling them and trying the update from FL24 once again. If it still does not recognize the phone, try another USB port. I suggest using one that comes on the motherboard.

Yeah, I used to feel this way about 2 weeks ago....That's before it threw up an unrecoverable BSOD, and wouldn't let me system restore, or partial restore. I had to load a month old image I had made that now has issues with some of the text disappearing in dialog boxes, like "Okay" "Change Directory" "Cancel" dialogue buttons on only some windows dialog boxes.
So that was irritating, and it happened after windows 8 decided it was time to scan and repair the hard drives for no apparent reason...
I reupdated and resynced things, which was just annoying, but then after I was finished, a few days later, the same fatal BSOD occurred. So I searched it, and yup, lo and behold, there are a TON of threads discussing the error and there is apparently no solution. Direct back and forths with MS lead to them suggesting that the person call level 2 tech support... Meaning there is no real fix, as they couldn't just describe a process. If there is a process, we must now assume it is ridiculous and overly complex.
So yeah, I installed Linux Mint 14 Nadia instead in protest (only issue I'm having is getting a custom resolution for my HDMI-out to my Vizio 37“ TV that has weird resolutions, no clue how to fix it, tried everything, except trading TVs with someone else that isn't using their TV as a monitor, lol), and will dual boot W7 when i get around to it. W8 looked and sort of felt nice, but it's just a sheen of bs, IMO. The restore features are a joke. I just really want a nandroid backup style backup system, that just works and is very straight forward and easy. If it could backup to NAS &/or cloud, that'd be even better. Maybe I'll learn to code and create one...
