[Q] Does your 4.1.2 Browser crash as well? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
Ever since I upgraded from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 the stock browser crashes a couple of times per day. Does this happen to antone else?

Not noticed it on my Note 2 but it happens constantly on the Note 10.1. I did some digging around and it would seem that it is being caused by flash. As yet I have NOT been able to resolve it, i just use Boat browser instead, but maybe try using a different version of flash and see if that helps.

I actually dont have this prob on my note 2 but have this on my nexus 10. I have experienced that clearing cache /dalvik cache helps a lot. Maybe it might help on the note 2/note 10.1 too
Sent from my GT-N7100 or the Nexus 10, heaven knows.
Those who help noobs go to heaven. True story.

Same problem here, since the 4.1.2 update.
However, it only occurs once per session.
Usually initially. Then works ok.

Thanks for answering guys... I might try an older versions of Flash or even better if I can get my hands of the Browser version from 4.1.1.
It's probably a long shot but does anyone have a titanium backup of the Browser from 4.1.1?

Well, I downgraded Flash to an earlier version but that didn't help.
It is however somehow related to Flash because if I uninstall Flash the Browser doesn't crash anymore. Running without Flash isn't an option though!
Guess I'll have to flash an older ROM and extract an older version of the Browser to see if that works... if not I'll just plain use an older ROM. The Stock Browser is the program I use 90% when using my Note II.

Problem solved!
I downgraded from 4.1.2 (MB2) to 4.1.2 (LL7) and did a Titanium Backup of the Browser. Then I upgraded to 4.1.2 (MB2) and restored the LL7-Browser and now it's been two days without a single crash! :good:

Running 4.1.2 stock browser with the latest flash player 11.1.115.54 and never had the browser crash so far.

Updating to JB with Kies?

Quick question? If I'm just stock-rooted with ICS 4.0.4 and I want the just released JB update, do I need to unroot my phone first or just apply the update with Kies and then re-root?
Thanks in advance,

I think you can upgrade it with root, but if you installed a custom recovery then probably not

Same, mine is a stock root. I followed the instructions from the website below.

mine does have CWM recovery, but from the instructions i dont think anything else has changed. im just worried about bricking the phone if i try through kies. i tried OTA update last night but it failed.
any help would be great
(sorry for stealing your thread Matt but i think we have the same problem. im just giving more info lol.)

Download root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.7z install it from Odin. You get new Jelly Bean update and it will stay rooted. I just did it and it worked. You will not lose any data either, but make a back up either way. You will loose CWM but you can just simply reinstall it from Rom Manager

I don't know about other's experiences, but my phone seems to be much more responsive in general after the update. Apps load and quit quicker, launcher is faster and smoother, and battery life is still about the same (very good for me at about 10% every 3hrs). I'm enjoying it quite a bit. Other than two weird resets in the first hour after updating, I have had no problems since and everything (wifi, LTE, GPS, etc) is working fine. The best thing for me is that K9 mail is so much faster and responsive with my 7 imap accounts.
PS - I was really hoping for the 3D panorama camera in this update, but alas no such luck.

Try these images.
Just downloaded the rooted Bell 4.1.1 rom and attempted to flash with mobile ODIN.
But this resulted in boot loop.
Could the stock recovery have be preventing this from working?
Should I flash CWM now?
The recovery you're using shouldn't matter, particularly.
I'm not really familiar with the way Mobile Odin does things; I would have used regular desktop Odin to do things.
Generally, you see a boot loop with stock images if you're going back and forth between stock and non-stock and you did not wipe cache/data during the process. You can carry out said wipes with the stock recovery.
Good, just did it on good ol' regular odin and it worked.
No idea what caused the loop with Mobile Odin, I was going from stock 4.0.4 (w/ root) to stock 4.1.1 (w/root).

Help I think my Note 2 is on it's last leg

so I don't know how it happened
but over the past couple weeks I've had a lot of trouble with my phone
I didn't notice any issues until I flashed Skynote
it started out as just my computer not recognizing it when connected via USB
but problems have escalated further now
for some reason if I try flashing touchwiz roms 1/2 the time TWRP crashes while doing it and if it doesn't it constantly hangs up during flashing(it took me almost 1/2 hour to flash ultimate internation rom last night)
If I get a rom running the phone is constantly hanging when going through the settings menu.. or if an app is installing it will lock up totally for like 5 seconds
I've formatted thru twrp, I wipe the system every time. I've tried countless factory resets
nothing seems to be helping
anyone have any idea what might be going on?
Probably something corrupt or misplaced. Flash stock to using odin. That should fix it

I have faced similar issues twice after changing a rom. The only way back to stability was to odin a stock firmware on to the note II and then to re-root, re-install a custom recovery and reflash the rom.
You can use this thread to get the files to odin back to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275844

seems to be running well on stock......I'm gonna put it through it's paces for a while before I get my hopes totally up though
I think I'm just gonna keep it like this until we get some 4.2.2 touchwiz roms

Try CWM recovery, not twrp....I never use twrp, , always hearing issues with people using that recovery method...Some phone's just don't like it..lol
And like Greg stated...most phones need a thorough cleaning every now and then to get the bugs out.
With TWRP its always good to have the latest version... it can really make a difference

I prefer using CWM to flash ROMs on my device. I Always had problems flashing zips on my phone using TWRP recovery. It gave me a headache that I had to use the emergency firmware recovery in kies to revert to stock and reset my flash count. Do try flashing in CWM recovery instead and see what's the result.

question regarding 4.1.2 upgrade to 4.2.2

First I will start off by thanking everyone for taking the time out to respond to my question. With that being said, I have the gt-n5110 firmware 4.1.2. I have seen the 4.2.2 leaked rom and roms from other developers that are running the 4.2.2. Is it possible to flash these roms, even though I have 4.1.2? Or do I have to stick to the 4.1.2 roms only? Thanks again.
Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk 2
There are two ways you can upgrade your note to 4.2.2. Head over to the note 8 development forum. There are custom roms that require you to root and flash a custom recovery before you can flash the upgrade. The other is the leaked rom that can be flashed via odin. Be sure to read and follow directions. The information is all there.

So I'M currently on CiV's 4.1.2 ROM all I have to do to be on CIV's 4.2.2 ROM is flash it Via CWM Recovery?
Yes. Because there is a big difference in android versions...you will want to do a full wipe, then flash. So be sure to backup whatever u need before doing so.

Thanx again. Not to be a bother but would I be able to flash it via Mobile 0din? (just checking my options and for future reference)
you should be able to, but why would you want to?
Its a simple wipe and flash in CWM, so just do it that way, or, if you use TWRP, then do it with that...

Can you get into your recovery? If so do a system restore, that should wipe everything and you could start again fresh.

Thank you so much, it worked :good: I got back to the old reliable 4.1.2. I think I will just upgrade to 4.2 when an official update is avalaible (no more beta). I don´t know if it was just me, but with the beta of 4.2.2 I had lots of problems such as the screen (didn´t respond sometimes), the s-pen was a little uncalibrated and when I wanted to set an image as wallpaper it looked blurred.

I have the same question regarding a 4.1.2 --> 4.2.2 rom flash... After I do a NANDROID backup, full wipe and flash the ROM from CWM/TWRP can I recover the cache from the NANDROID backup to bring back all my screen setups or do I have to build my setup from scratch?
Many thanks!! I know its a noob question but I've searched for a while and figured I might as well just post the question.

Never a good idea to do this. More times than not, you will run into problems thereby creating even more work for yourself. Just do it the right way and start fresh after a base update.

Give SN 4.3 a try it's smooth and stable for me no FC's, Wanam Xposed is the bomb! (Std version not the Note3 version) Not sure what carrier you're on but I can confirm that you CAN go back to 4.1.2 effortlessly by following steps listed in OP section.
I had no end of troubles installing with latest TWRP 2.6.3.1 installed it just does not seem to play well with 4.3 at this time. Philz CWM based recovery however solved all issues smoothly. Not a knock on TWRP I've used it on every device I own and still say it's the standard others aspire to!
I had the same problem. I used one click and Pilz recovery. TWRP was the issue.

Latest Modem and Kernel from COH4 update

Yeah, but you need to be on a stock ROM to get the OTA, or you can download the whole ROM from sammobile.com. It's a security fix for stagefright. I just wanted to try the new modem and see if it made any difference. I won't be able to test the kernel, since I switch back and forth between a 4.4.4 TW ROM and 5.1 CM ROM.
Appreciate the info, have you notice better signal with the new radio?

Flashed fine and so far no issues. Previous user might have a bad download or different device.
Flashed via TWRP today.. I had no service after reboot but did another restart and it was working.
Don't know if its any better than the previous modem version but will give it a try. thx

You caused the problem when you altered the stock ROM. From your thread about it here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-tmobile/help/recent-tmo-ota-update-bricked-wifes-t3245890), you said "Had her note 2 with stock 4.3, Rooted it last year to titanium backup and uninstall a couple bloatware apps. " This is what caused your problem. It was no longer a stock ROM when you remove apps. I know it doesn't seem like it would be a big deal, but it is, and you found out unfortunately

That's kinda what I was thinking had happened.
I suppose I shouldn't blame the OTA. I just noticed someone else had issues with it too.
so to the people that actually flashed this new modem and kernel, is it working better than previous iterations?
question:
I flashed the C0H4 modem on note 2 (nameless lollipop rom) seems ok...
DO I have to also flash the Kernel ? is there an advantage to flashing the kernel? thx
Hello! Thanks for this! I flashed this over TWRP 2.8.7.1, and wiping my dalvik cache. My phone's originally T889UVALK8 (16gb SGH-T889 t0ltetmo) and the signal drops but after flashing this (C0H4) the signal greatly improved, although I'm having some signal instability since I'm supposed to have full bars because my house is just in line of sight, 2km from the tower. Also I think I'll do a clean install of another custom ROM since I'm using the CM12.1 t0lte nightly, and maybe this affects my signal (I know I'm stupid for doing it but it works).
Welp. After rebooting, the phone lost signal again. I have to do a wipe of dalvik cache to restore my signal. I guess I'll try using another ROM instead.
Upodate: I may be experiencing hardware issues. I have yet to flash back to stock since my phone's signal drops. I can't flash the firmware because it says 'zip signature verification failed.'
