I've noticed annoyingly that the stock browser on the G3 doesn't remember form data, logins/ usernames etc. Every time I come to this forum for instance I have to login again, and that after I told the browser to remember user/ pass. Same thing happens on many other websites. I have several Android devices and this has never been an issue on any of the others. I searched through the browser settings for a possible switch that I may have missed but it looks like there's nothing controlling that.
Very annoying.

I just got a Tilt 2 the other day, and this is my first HTC phone. I love it so far, but I am having an issue of not being able to login to any site in the any either opera or IE. It either tells me the login in incorrect (which it is not) or that my session has expired, without ever actually logging in.
I tried to install skyfire, but it will not even run, just returns errors and closes.
Anyone else have/had this issue or know what the problem might be?
I can not login to any site, I have tested 10 or so sites.
I have also tried putting both browers in mobile only mode, with no change.
I actually have two of these phones right now, and the problem is on both phones.
I have the same problem, specificaly with mesh. It states my cookies are expired, even after clearing all cookies, history and browser cache.
I take that back.
Logins for things like cpanel/plesk/billing scripts (whmcs, ect) and web scripts such as WP or Joomla and even Kayako don't work. But I can login to sites like ESPN/Sportsline, ebay, ect.
I take it there is something missing from these mobile browsers that is not passing along the proper info to these scripts that does not allow them to be logged in.
I finally got skyfire to work, but the same logins fail in that browser also.
I even tried to install the beta of mobile firefox (can't remember the code name now), and it was horrid, worst mobile browser I have ever seen.
There has to be a way to change cookie settings or something to allow these type of script logins.
Ok, I know this has nothing to do with the Epic Touch but I value all of your opinions about technology stuff.
I recently switched my primary email to be my Gmail account and since I did that I was going to try using pretty much all of Google's products since it makes things very streamlined.
In doing so, I switched from Firefox to Chrome on my computers. It's a great browser: love the themes, controls, add-ons; pretty much everything (especially once chrome on android gets ironed out and bookmarks, tabs, etc. are fluid between desktop and devices).
Unfortunately, there's a major kink in the armor I've found since starting to use Chrome. Google's own websites are acting wonky! Not all of them, but Google search & Google maps (two I use constantly for work) are acting erratically. See screenshot attached as far as the search problem. Maps is just really, really unreliable and slow. It will take 10-20 tries to get it to find an address, if it ever does. I'll open Firefox and it will find it the very first time, very quickly...same with the google search. It never shows the page I screenshot and is very quick and reliable on FF.
I'm confused and just looking for some insight from ya'll smart mofos.
Is it just those two sites, or are other Google sites affected as well?
Make sure you're using the Stable release of Chrome. (Settings -> About Google Chrome and make sure dev or beta is not after the version number.)
Have you tried swapping out your DNS servers? I tend to use Google's DNS servers. http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/ (Let me know if you can;t get to that, lol.)
Something might be messed up in your registry.
I had to change to Google Chrome from Firefox about 6 months ago because the Reg was all messed up and causing Firefox not to play any video, and a few other things. Yet when I started Chrome everything worked. Instead of trying to figure it out I just kept using Chrome. Haven't had any problems since. Although you may be using a Beta version also and don't even know it.
It took me awhile to find a decent program for checking the reg, so I would do a search on www.download.com for registry or registry checker.
ps I hate it when cheerios goes down the wrong side of your throat. cough cough cough
Thanks guys, I appreciate the input. I downloaded CCleaner and that got rid of a bunch of stuff, helped with google search a lot. Maps is still sucky though, but I am considering trying out the DNS suggestion at home first as a guinea pig then here at my office pc. I'll let you know what comes of it.
I'm having a problem getting to cyanogen mod Nightlies as well. Those pages just won't load! IE9 would find. Also AVG keeps blocking those sites and wont let me unblock them!
I use chrome as well, and sometimes when i go to fb, chrome wont load the feed. then i reload and it works. this happened on every fb page i would go to. go to firefox or IE and it al worked fine so i knew it was on Chromes side, maybe the way the script was wrote. anyways, this did this for about 2 months. i kinda got used to it. but then it updated and it doesnt do it anymore. BUT, since i installed linux and chrome for linux, now the chrome on linux does it again. was wondering if anyone else had this problem. i know this is about google services not working right, thought i would throw that out there. dont know if it will help or not (leaning towards the not). just my 2 cents.
Hi all, I'm running the stock ICS browser on my phone, as per this thread. Generally it works fine, beautiful; love the ICS browser over the TouchWiz one.
One weird thing though, ... if my phone powers down due to low battery, then the browser deletes all my Google bookmarks (deleting them also from my other devices), and then loses its link to my Google account. Then when I power back up I have to go through hoops to get it associated to my account again, and then recreate all my bookmarks.
Weirder still, this ONLY happens when the phone powers off from low battery. If I reboot the phone manually, this does NOT happen.
Anyone experienced similar things, or have any idea why this might happen or how I might fix it?
Thanks!
Holy crap thast weird. Use ICS browser + from the play store or better yet use chrome
okay, i posted a thread a few weeks ago on some issues with AOKP milestone 6 on htc wildfire.. now, after fine tuning several aspects of the phone i ran into more issues, that i do not know how to solve.....
1. an incredibly annoying lag when receiving call... first comes the ringtone, then, about 4-5 seconds later, the screen turns itself on, and only then the in-call image appears, with an option to answer/decline a call. i managed only to reduce the lag a bit by managing several profiles in SetCPU app, but the problem persists no matter what i do....
2. battery life and occasional twitching when flipping through home screens/ app drawer - this issue got solved pretty easily by removing non-essential apps from system/app using root explorer, and properly setting processor frequencies in profiles with SetCPU. The phone now is fast, snappy, and the battery has almost 3 days of autonomy with quite a lot of background processes
3. Contacts search/suggestion problem - now this one is truly annoying, and i can't seem to figure out the reason why this is happening. it didn't happen at the beginning. now here's the deal: whenever i want to send a new message, and type the name of the recipient, the phone does not recognize/suggest the name (or can't find it in the phonebook). the only way is to type in the FULL number (with + and prefixes), and only then it will recognize the recipient and show his/hers name. the other method is to search for the contact in the phonebook and then chose an option to send a sms/mms. i imported my contacts list from google, the same i did with previous roms and after resetting the phone, and never had such a problem.... the other part is opening people app, i.e. the phonebook. when scrolling through contacts, all are there, visible and accessible, but when trying to search for a specific entry (i have over 300 entries, so search option is truly a must-have), it only finds some contacts, but not all. and i do not know the solution for these problems. i tried meddling with which entries are visible, checking and unchecking all google contatcs, but the problem is still there...
does anybody have an idea? i tried googling for this one, but it seems i don't even know what keywords to use since this specific problem wasn't addressed in any of the AOKP or CM-related threads

If I'm not mistaken you're already allowed to post in the developing section? I'd suggest you better post those ROM related stuff directly in the ROM thread - most likely people using that ROM (those who probably could give some answers) will follow that thread even if they rarely visit XDA. Furthermore other users may have similar issues and could find this stuff more easy

Is anyone having issues with some apps getting pushed back to defaults.
Examples of this is when using Samsung browser(which is stock) every few days my home page reverts back to google as my home page
I also use Verizon's messenger, I set a back ground and change the text bubble colors and shapes and a few days later they revert back to default, it's driving me crazy. I exchanged my phone due to a faulty charging port and this is happening again on this one. Please notice if this is happening to you, I thinking it's an OS issue but it's really hard to tell. Thanks for any input into this issue.
So this happened to me on 2 different A50 phone, you telling me this is not happening to anyone else ?
well what can I say but, keep an eye on your Samsung browser home page if you don't use the google.com default. I'm sure it's not only me this is happening to

Com, this has been happening since the first day i used the phone. Is this happening to anyone else. I am gonna try using firefox to see if this still happens. Let me know if you are experiencing this. Thanks

have you updated the apps?
I received the android 10 update, updated all apps. I am on the stock android 10 there should be no reason my Samsung browser should change my custom homepage back to Google default every 2 days or so.. There should be no reason to use chrome or firefox, i am using the default browser. This is the second A50 I have owned since September and they both did the same thing. I have a Samsung tablet also without this issue. So what's causing it any ideas? This is just Google embedding itself into every facet of our lives, Google, facebook, Twitter it's slowly taking over everything including sensoring everything that don't meet their political agenda... think about it. Social media is ruining our country. Thanks for your replies.
