hopefully someone will give info .
Have you tried going to settings then privacy then to delete personal data.
Also try Avg cleaner, All in one toolbox or SD maid (if rooted). These apps will clean up the cache and unneeded files from your phone.

My stock browser is normal speed. I use Chrome which is more snappier. Maybe try clearing the data and cache might help.
I wonder why Google still keeps the stock browser and not just switch to Chrome. I mean they moved from regular messaging to hangouts. Regular gallery to g plus but still have stock browser. Maybe in the next update they will get rid of it.

For some reason, randomly my mobile data will turn off. Luckily, I threw a widget on another page. I have to turn it off then back on to get it to connect again. Minor annoyance.
The other issue is after using the new browser since Friday GB release. It works fine for awhile, then it acts up. It will no longer stay open, acting like a memory free-up is kicking it off. I will open it, it will load google as the homepage, and immediately kill the app. No task killers or any of that garbage. To fix, it needs a full reboot. Any way I could do a bug monitoring on the phone?
Rooted. I used the manual rooted 2.3.3 odexed stock rom that was here, and flashed the radios all using clockwork.

Wiping the browser data fixed it. Not sure what happened.

i'm having the same issue with the stock browser on my unrooted evo 4g. the app opens, and just before my homepage (google.com) fully loads, the app crashes. rebooting did not solve the problem for me. i'm not sure how to wipe the browser data. any suggestions?
thanks in advance.
Menu -> settings -> applications -> manage applications -> all -> internet -> clear data.
You WILL lose all bookmarks, passwords, history, etc etc.

I think googles doodle thing was taking up too much memory, mine was doing the same thing.
annoying for sure
That was exactly what mine was doing.

Why? Happens randomly... and frequently... one is usually followed by several in short succession, and then it will stop and go away until the next out burst of gapps force closing comes along...?

Its the gapps that came with the phone though...? Why would I have to re flash gapps on a stock ROM..?

Same issue here with mine, not rooted, all stock, gapps keeps crashing constantly when trying to use web browser or certain other features included with the phone. Annoying.
Not interested in rooting or flashing anything until development gets a bit more stable.
I had this problem on my og galaxy nexus, clearing data from the phone/contacts apk fixed it. Not sure if it applies here but it's worked for me in the past.

In my experience it is a problem with sync internet. Clear all the data from whatever browser you use and it should stop
Didn't work... still gapps force closing grr this is annoying

It does it to me too all the time and seems random. Didn't think much of it because it happened on the touch pad running cm9. I assumed it was just an android thing. So this isn't normal?

settings -> apps -> all apps.
go to each gapp in the list and force stop, clear data & clear cache. reboot.
if that doesn't help, flash a custom recovery, clear cache and dalvik. fix permissions. reboot.
just suggestions.
Back up everything to Google and try a hard reset maybe?

Yea, I have a custom Recovery so I guess I will try to wipe cache and davlick and fix permissions see if that works other wise, I guess a hard reset is what imma have to do, even thought I don't want to ...that **** piss me off

Clearing the Chrome data worked for my phone...thanks.
A little late to the party on this but the only fix I found that worked was to deselect syncing of Google interne data (unmodded ATT GS3).
gapps forceclose issue
Same situation. SGH999 Galaxy S3. Why is this an issue?
I also do not want to deal with factory reset, wiping apps, etc.
Basically, taking phone off sync... NO F/C at all. Slide tab to SYNC,
F/C EVERY SECOND. I took screen shots, thinking this is so unreal.
There must be an inherent issue with Samsung & Google not playing nicely together this time.
This is my 2nd phone BEHAVING the SAME. TMobile not helpful. In Another thread, they contacted the
President of Samsung for overheating & excessive battery drain. He was sent a new phone, but will end
up with the same problems. I really thought this phone was going to be the shizne...

This seems to be Talk crashing. I get the same FC message. I have to login manually to get Talk online again. Anyone else notice that?
I'm rotating from AOKP, PAC and CM10.1 on the Dinc2 and I love all of them but gif files sometimes work and sometimes don't. It seems like on a fresh flash they work but if I restore a saved nandroid they don't.
I'm not positive it's that way every time but it's driving me nuts. I have searched the internet and seen many with this issue but no resolutions of definite cause. I usually use Boat browser or sometimes Next browser but it's the Tumblr app I really care about.
Do the browser settings affect the Tumblr app? Just wanted to see if someone here had a suggestion?
Thanks
Clear cash n data of tumblr app then recovery clear cash n dalvic. Our phones are old. Things break down.

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)!
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.

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.
