[Q] Dolphin Browser Crashing - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have installed dolphin browser both way Side loaded, and From Google Play but it always crashes. I have uninstalled, install again and no luck. I have tried with flash installed and without flash, but nothing seems to help. Do anybody has an answer?. I'm currently running Cm, but I like dolphin better.

I had the same problem with Dolphin crashing. I switched to Chrome and it's working well.

One of the threads in general, I think the list of apps that can be sideloaded or something, has a link to a dolphin browser with flash that works on my AFTV without crashing.

Firefox?

I was running into the same issue.
What worked for me was disabling Dolphin JetPack.

Where did you even get flash player? I have searched all the markets I have to no avail.
It's probably posted around and you can get it from Adobe's site.

I went to their site and got 'We're Sorry. This content requires Adobe Flash Player, which is not supported by your device. This content can be viewed on a desktop computer or on mobile devices that support Flash Player.'

since Flashplayer isn't supported, it's going to be hit and miss. Some sites will work, some won't.
I don't use the stock browser. I use Chrome mainly. When I need flash player, I've had decent luck using Boat Browser. Dolphin supports flash player well, but I couldn't get it to work on the GN2. There's some agruments with Dolphin excessively tracking your information or browser habits, but I haven't kept up on it.
Dolphin did look at other unrelated apps info. I emailed them and they wouldn't respond. Anyways it's not the sites it's the browser. Either it works or it doesn't. Enable flash in the settings file of dolphin if that's what you use. I would imagine it's the same for most browsers.
For me, Dolphin crashed every time I tried to open it. I never loaded on the TF700T. It has been a few months since I read about the Dolphin debacle.
Boat has worked for my needs, which is to use Sirius's radio internet radio via web browser since I'm a grandfathered life time member with limited internet radio access; I'm not able to use the Sirius app without loosing my no extra cost internet access.

[Q] HTC Desire mobile data on browser problem

So i recently rooted my phone and installed custom rom in it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2171110
It works well, but one thing is bothering me very much. Mobile data works perfect on other programs like Delfi.lt or 15min or Google Play Market, but when it comes to a simple browser it cant load anything. It loads up a bit of the loading bar and freezes. This is really bothering me.
Before rooting everything went smooth, but now i feel like rooting+custom rom wasnt such a good ideal after all, cause mobile internet is very crucial for me.
Problem :
Browser not working on mobile data
Working :
Browser works on WiFi
Mobile data works on other programs that use internet.
Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
Yours, Vecord
EDIT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35066436#post35066436 Tried this ROM but it was the same.
What browser are you using? Does it do the same with other browsers?

I'm using the default browser, but i've tried Dolphin Browser and the result was the same. WiFi works, mobile data doesnt.

Go into the bootloader and check. Turn off the phone and boot it back up using volume down + and power.
Take note of what is says beside "RADIO-", and post it here.

I still have some ideas
Did you full wipe before installing the rom?
Did you make any modifications to the rom before or after install?
Do you have an app that interferes with the browser, or with the 3g signal?
Are you sure thay other apps are capable of using the internet?
Are you sure that the speed isn't too slow for the browser? Maybe you have apps that don't need fast speeds to operate, but browsers do need a decent speed for them to run. Download the speed test app from the play store and do a test. Post the results.
Did you use the sim unlocker? Maybe that messed up some stuff.
Are your internet settings correctly configured? Double check your settings.
Nooooww, I'm out of ideas.

Firefox, Still a RAM hog ?

When I had ICS on my HTC Vivd, I had a bad experience with Firefox, then I tried Dolphin browser.
Has anyone used either yet ? Hows that working out for you?

I use Firefox specifically for a couple of sites that don't allow me to save usernames and passwords. There is an add-on that you can install that forces it to remember passwords, even if the site is configured not to. My experience has been really good with Firefox, but I only use it for limited reasons. I use Chrome as my daily driver for normal web surfing.
I used to love Dolphin, but constant force-closes made me switch back to Chrome. Good browser, although right now I'm having a strange issue where occasionally Chrome completely locks up when on the XDA website after loading a page-- I have to clear it from memory and reopen it for it to work.
I downloaded Firefox. Refreshed RAM is same as before.
With that the option to Sync all my bookmarks from my Macbook, I removed Chrome and the Stock browser and am using FF with Adblock exclusively.
Not only that it was a ram hog. It makes the device raises temperature than normal. My fave is Boat.

I also have a huge problem with this on new Nexus 7. Dolphin Browser was locking up also until i unchecked flash in settings. I installed firefox just to get around this issue. I am new Android user and cant believe that the Chrome browser, built by Google canyt navigate this site.
I actually went back to my Ipad to see and had no problems navigating XDA. Then again Ipad does not have flash.

Dolphin browser crashing for anybody else?

Dolphin browser is crashing a lot on my G Pad running Mahdi KitKat ROM. It does it mostly when I'm searching or zooming in. I love this app but can't deal with the constant crashing. I'm also open to suggestions for other browsers. I need syncing with chrome on my PC and flash if possible.

Have you tried installing Chrome from the play store? It will of course sync and should work just fine. Otherwise post the Mahdi thread about your issue with dolphin.

I reckon flash player is to blame. I know you have no interest in this, but uninstall the flash player and see if dolphin isn't stable. Flash is at this point patched up with frameworks in order to work. Prolly not the most stable thing in the world.
Dolphin with flash is what I use when I absolutely need flash and it may take a few reloads or crashes. If I can I just use Chrome..

You can send Dolphin a crash report in Dolphin Settings > Help > Send Feedback > Stopped unexpectedly.
I often send it in this way. You guys can try it to let Dolphin know your issue.

I've sent many reports to them. They just updated the app but it still crashes a lot. It's a shame because Dolphin runs much faster and has support for flash. But until then, I'll have to stick with Chrome.
Curious, I got the same problem with Opera, it crashed all the time either in stock ROM or CM11. Chrome is OK..

Latest v5.02 update and browsers

Anyone notice that Dolphin, Boat Browser for Tablet and Maxthon browsers seem to force close a lot since this latest update? I notice it most at IMDB.com when browsing pretty hard through it. Just poof, and back to desktop.

I have applied the latest OTA (yesterday) and use Boat Browser. I've not had one FC or issue as you describe and just went to imdb.com without a problem.

Maybe I need a full reset.....I was in there (IMDB) last night and added a few TV shows to a list and removed some and searched for others. At about 5 minutes with Dolphin the screen locked up and then it went to Home. Tried the others I mentioned and they fell short too doing the same things....
But the stock browser is doing fine....go figure.

Did a full reset yesterday and after a few minor issues things seem like they're back to normal. I use Apex Launcher and maybe I didn't get it setup right, but I was getting warnings about widgets not loading properly. I emptied all screens of all widgets and still would see the warning at start and end of the Intellecast app. So I switched the default loader back to Touchwiz. No errors. Rebooted and then restarted Apex and reset it as default launcher. Now, no problems.
Yippie!
