Every browser crashes!! - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. I have a really annoying issue that I couldn't solve by myself. Every sammy based rom i flash i have this issue. Sometimes the browser ( every browser like boat, chrome, aosp browser, stock browser, firefox ecc ) freezes and close without any FC message. Tried to unistall flash player, reflash a rom with a full wipe without restoring backups of user data, fix permissions, wipe cache and dalvik but the issue is still present. I had this issue with several sammy roms and i don t know how to solve it.. can anyone help me? I don t want to go to aosp roms!
Thanks guys

Also tried a megawipe script but no luck... Maybe I will try Chrome and see if it happens again.. even if I hate chrome cause is very slow and laggy at the moment...

Sometimes it's the same with chrome on my note 2. I'm using now chrome beta and that works perfect ...

I also have stock browser crashing when it never did before. I suspect one of the google updates that went through recently since besides app updates I haven't changed anything in months and I don't think any of the apps I have is embedded deeply enough to affect the browser. I've considered nandroiding back to trace it but it's a tough one to do since the crashing is somewhat random. Btw I don't have your video app installed (Maxthon).

I have the exact same problem with my N7100. In first thought I was sure that it was a software problem and I did all the steps you mentioned in your initial post...but there I had no luck as the problem kept coming. Then I gave it a try to my local samsung service point. The first time I sent them the phone they didn;t manage to solve the problem and they onlt did a factory reset. The second time I sent it they changed the mainboard (pcb/motherboard)...I thought I was done but guess......the problem was still there! But I am ok, I am now sure that it's a software bug.
I am using the opera browser which doesn't give me the stock browser problems (boat browser is also giving problems to me)!

Stock browser stealing defaults

Since my update to 4.0.4, the stock browser keeps stealing my Internet default. Anyone else seeing this?

My stock galaxy tab does that with navigation error messages but no others. I've not seen it happen on my one x.
Have you tried clearing the defaults and app data for both browsers?

I think he means the stock browser is being used regardless of the one he chooses as default.

I'm on 4.0.4 too and it does not happen to me, try clearing the defaults from the android app menu.
I have the same problem. If I set Chrome as default browser, it will be default for some time and then forgets it and the stock browser is opened by default.
I will try clearing defaults for both browsers.
Mine did that shortly after updating. I just cleared the stock browsers defaults and set them back to Chrome.

Yes, that seems to fix the problem. Thanks.
Thanks everyone. Problem seems to have gone since a restart. Though was incredibly annoying as for most things, as I prefer a choice.

Have to say I also encountered this problem.
Searched around the web and also found the solution of clearing defaults. When applied it did work, however sooner or later it happened again.
No matter how many times I cleared the defaults, it just resurfaced a few days later.
The final solution for me was installing a custom ROM (like ViperX), and removing the stock internet browser all together.
To be honest, we ain't using it anyway...

Happened to me when i deleted the camera sound files in root explorer manually. Reflashed rom and had no such problems.
Also it seems that clearing davilk cache caused that before.
If u never deleted any camera sound files or the camera cache then reinstall instragram. It should be fine

I had this problem too the other time but now it is running fine. But I was on a custom ROM then.
Try fixing permission on CWM?

How about you clear instagram data in Settings-> Apps-> Instagram-> Clear data. Make sure app is close before you perform this. Afterwards, open the app and see if problem still exist.

This is a common problem many people are facing in apps like Google Play Store, Instagram, Whatsapp, Snapchat etc. And one common solution I've for all these apps is just uninstalling that app and re-install it.

Youtube (desktop + mobile) Force closes on video playback

I've tried searching the forums for a possible solution but have had no luck thus far.
I prefer the desktop Youtube over the mobile app version but regardless on which one I use for some reason lately YT always force closes anytime I hit the play icon to watch a video. it would load for a couple seconds and then force close me out of my browser. I do have the correct flash player and I've tried various browsers installed on my phone as well as earlier versions to each but the issue continues to occur. I also tried clearing data but no luck either. Has anyone else experienced this? and if so, a possible fix? Any advice would be great.

If you're on Deviant then it's a known issue. Something with webkit Ramsay did, thought we got it under control, but I guess not.
Hmm.. ok. I wouldn't have thought it was the ROM because I've been using Deviant since it's beta release as my daily driver and it's been stable for me until today. Wasn't having this issue til now and I hadn't modified anything. Thanks for clearing this up for me though. appreciate it.

Weird that it didn't happen before for sure. But it only works on chrome for me.

Chrome constantly crashing

I unlocked/rooted my device today, and it all went smooth, but chrome seems to be crashing non stop. It will open for a few seconds, but if I touch anything or scroll it will just crash to the wallpaper with no errors. I don't *think* it was crashing prior to the root, but I'm not entirely sure. I didn't use the browser much before then. This same crash also happens to the chrome beta.
I tried clearing the chrome cache, I even did a factory reset/wipe. I haven't tried unrooting yet. That's gonna be a last resort.
Everything is stock except for the root and TWRP. (Kernel, rom, etc)
Chrome is really the only browser I seem to like on android, so getting it working is pretty important for me.

Mine was doing that also until I install the jassy kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383361
Chrome crashes even when un-rooted. I switched to Firefox for my nrw Nexus 7.

I saw a demo unit in best buy doing the same thing today! And when I tried to download any apps from playstore it gave me 497 error code. Not sure what's going on.
I can attest that the Chrome browser will freeze up or crash. Browsing this site will produce a freeze or two per session. Other sites I do not use as extensively.
I purchased my N7 because browsing on an iPad 3 gen was impossible with Safari or Chrome which I installed because Safari was so bad. Chrome on the iPad was unusable. Chrome on Windows 7 also crashes and hangs very frequently.
I use chrome and it never crashed and it pretty smooth.

Indeed I did! That's the main reason I rooted....
That could very well be the culprit, but chrome isn't worth not having xposed, so I will stick with an alternative browser for now.
Thanks!

I've not added any plugins or other extensions to Chrome on my mobile devices. An attempt to add one on the desktop version similar to what I used in Firefox ended miserably. Just crashes and freezes, similar to the experience on the N7.
