Stock Browser Crashing? (Solution) - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

I've had several weeks of frequent crashing with the stock browser, including associated crashes in Pulse and other apps that use it. I searched high and low to no avail but finally came across a one line post elsewhere that seems to have solved my problem (24 hrs + stable).
The issue was caused by a Google search setting that may have gotten changed some time ago during an update (grrr). If you have this problem, go to the Google search page in your browser, then click Settings > Search Settings, and under "Precise Location", choose "Do not allow". I cleared the browser cache afterwards and for good measure, rebooted to recovery and wiped the cache and dalvic cache. Hope this helps someone else as it was a nasty problem.

My messaging widget doesn't work.

It doesn't update? Any suggestions?
Works fine for me.
I'm using the port with the Multi-View, and Nova launcher FWIW.
Tried a full wipe, dalvik wipe, fix permissions, all the usual tricks?

you could always try to clear the app cache & data
Settings > App Manager > Messaging
I was usung easy home screen layout. I changed it to basic, and so far it's working.

I know it's obvious, but make sure the app is set up to auto retrieve messages within settings.

Try clearing defaults for YouTube app in the phone's settings menu.
Try reinstalling YouTube from the play store.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
Yep, thats the first thing I did, clear defaults and re install, some apps seem to open youtube app, but most do not have the option, really strange, all worked fine before update

Youtube Won't Stay Signed In

So can't tell if this is a bug in a new update or something basically every time I don't use the Youtube app for more than 5 mins it signs me out. Then when I open it Youtube signs me in for another 5 mins. Very annoying any help is greatly appreciated NOTE: Screenshots from EVO buts its also happening on Note ii
I found out it signs me out after I end the process (like closing it in multitasking)
Things I did to try to fix this ..
Force stop Youtube and remove all user data/cache
Completly factory reset without backing up any system apps or anything to do with Google
Removed Google account, and add it again
Wipe Just Cache
Use a modified Youtube app
I've got the same problem and would love to have a solution. I use YouTube a lot and this has been a very frustrating bug.

Stock browser crashes after initiating download

Have my note 2 for about 6 months and love the stock browser. Don't want to use a third party browser.
But since a week my browser keeps crashing after I initiate a download.
Every time with no exceptions.
Tried t empty cache / buffer and erased all info I could in app info and in restored factory default of the browser app.
Without succes.
Does anyone have a solution to fix this?
I searched my ass of here an via Google, found similar problems bit no solutions.
Thnx!
P.s.
Device was never rooted and is stock on 4.1.2.

The same with my phone. Only the browser crashes wether I download or not. But only once per session.
After that first crash, it tend to work flawlessly for the rest of that surf session. Regardless of the length.
So maybe you should try downloading a second time after crashing? But I guess you've already tried.
Thank you but yes I tried that already.
But without succes.
Mine only crashes with download.
It freezes and within 5 seconds it crashes.

What ROM are you using? Is that a modified theme at all?
I get that same issue. I'm stock, not rooted. I think that issue came with the latest YouTube update because I didn't have the issue before I updated.

Root and delete app+ it's data folder(It may void your warrenty). Then install older version. If still giving that issue
install a recovery like CWM. Then wipe dalvic cache and reboot. Do this if you realy need to solve this.
(Sorry for bad english)
U can wipe dalvic cache in titanium backup
