Internet Explorer 11 freezes on Forum pages - About xda-developers.com

Whenever I browse using my IE11 browser to the XDA Developers Forum page, the browser HANGS and must be stopped using TASK MANGER. I sometimes get an error that a long running script is running, but it still hangs or goes in circles with the long running script pop-up.
Chrome browser works perfectly, BTW.
I have Windows 8.1 computers, and this happens on my laptop and my desktop.
I have tried most everything I can think of for months. Reinstall IE 11, complete virus scans and adware scans, stopped Avira antivirus...
Any help on this?

Same here, just started maybe a week or two ago.

Feel free to join in there! :good:
I'll close this thread.

Don't know why XDA keeps breaking the website for IE11.
This is now the second time within ~1 month that XDA was broken.
Also: if it gets broken, why not roll back to the last version that actually worked?
Somebody doesn't seem to know what they are doing.

It's being looked into. I'll flag the server admin again.

Is the Market down / having problems again?

Anyone else experiencing problems with the Market again just now?
It starts to download the file, then comes up download paused, then download unsuccessful.
I have tried Force Stopping and clearing Cache's & data etc, no joy.
Anyone else seeing the same?
Yeah I am having problems as well. Can browse to apps, but not download them.
Yeap..
Sending, sending.. sent from my Desire!
Thank God - I have been going through all my settings to try and work out how I have screwed up downloading from the market!

This seems to be a routine now ...
Me too - Blade (or san fran)
Good news its working again!
I spent ages the other day trying to fix this. Thought my phone was knackered and was going to reset until I saw this. Can anyone confirm if they can download apps?
EDIT: vukis is right... it's working again! Weird!?
I'd like to say It's fixed... try downloading more than one app at once though. Doesn't work.

Just on cue, seems like its down for its Daily freak out again!
Strangely, I downloaded one new App, then and only then did it freeze up. Server overload?
Same here
Trying to update Goggle Maps and install Opera and nothing.
I've had similar problems. Noticed for me though, it's only for updating apps I've moved to SD card. Move them back to phone to update seemed to work. Move back to SD after update.

I googled this about ten minutes ago and I was reading about having to hard reset and all sorts. I came to see what was going on over here by pure chance and I saw this thread, I'm glad i'm not alone! I've cleared the cache and I could download one app, the new Dolphin browser, now I am back to 'download paused' - 'download unsuccessful'.
Unfortunately this seems to be a daily occurrence now.

Having this problem too, Google must be fudging about with it, really winding me up now, bit of a joke really.
Any official word as to why it's completely useless today?
I just bought CoPilot then it pooped up was hoping to try it for 24hours
Not working for me either.
The problem is well known and definitely server side androiddev just confirmed on Twitter that "the right people" are working on it.

Incredible CM7 and tethering unstable

Hello,
Hope to get some help on this. I've got an Inc rooted with CM7 build # 29. Using the built in tethering with windows 7, I get a lot of strange behavior. Everything shows like it's connected, but some web pages fail to load, or if i'm downloading a large file it quits a fraction of the way into the download. If i refresh a few times it may start again like nothing and actually quite fast. But this only seems to work in short bursts and then quits again.
I've searched all over the forums only to find solutions pointing to PDA net or some other app. I feel this is not a proper fix though since the native tethering is supposed to be better and everybody says with root you do not need a paid app for accesing secure sites.
Maybe the fix is buried somewere in the older threads and someone can point me out to it. Anyways any help is appreciated and thanks all ahead of time.

Hey,
I've been experiencing this issue as well, except I had it tethered to my iPad. It said I didn't have an Internet connection when I loaded up a page in Safari. Perhaps it's because I've installed a different kernel? I cannot seem to find the cause of this issue.

Haven't tried tethering on CM7, but I had the same problem on the rooted stock rom with wifi-tether app.
Try "wireless tether for root users" from the market or google it. It works well for me most of the time.

[Q] Xda site tabs keeps refreshing?

I am new to the site, I have been using it to learn a lot, I love it. I have one complaint, the sites pages continually refresh. Usually I have several tabs open most of which are Xda and the continued refreshing is slowing everything down.
Just a note I have a hard lined win7 PC, a Mac book pro, and a Win7 laptop all of which have FF and Crome the Mac has Safari and both PC's have IE I have checked all browsers and all three computers, this refreshes nearly continually on every thing. Is there anything I can do to stop this on my end, its really irritating.
I would like some feedback on this too as it is REALLY irritating. Especially on the phone because the address bar keeps coming up and interfering with reading of Xda threads. Most of the time I get so frustrated with it I just say forget it and wait until I can view on my computer.
I assume it has to do with the ad's regenerating or something??
Any way to turn it off or something?
+1
all this refreshing when browsing from work is not a good thing either.
I am experiencing the same problem of refreshing, but also my XDA tab(s) crash and restarts itself. I can't really search, post, or do much with this site since it keeps refreshing and crashing. I have Windows 7 (64-bit) using IE 8.
my guess is that it has something to do with the ads. im using google chrome with the extension "adblock" installed and i am not experiencing this issue. however, when i use firefox (which does not have any adblocking plug in installed) the pages seem to refresh every so often.

I only have the issue on my Nexus 7. When I view the site from my PCs it seems to work fine, but from my tab its horrible with the refreshing.

XDA Website Screen Flickers/Reloads with Firefox/Chrome

Not sure if this has been reported before, but when I'm visiting the forums with firefox or chrome, sometimes the site starts to flicker like it's trying to load something and it keeps reloading until I hit X on my browser.
Is this happening with anyone else?
I've confirmed this on my work PC and home PC.
Running latest version of Firefox and Chrome (not tested on IE), both are Windows 7 machines.
@op.. you are not the only one.. so don't worry.. there are 2 threads AFAIK.. which are saying same thing..

Facebook (build 132866) won't stop downloading

I get this notification that says it's downloading. But when I go to app info. It's from downloads instead of the Play Store. I don't know what it is. When I disable the app. Everything stops working; Play store, Chrome, Facebook, etc. I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem?

Did you try downloading a file with that name? Open up the download icon found in the app drawer and see whats downloading.

I didn't download anything. I noticed it on my way home. It initiated randomly. And it won't finish, or even stop. It isn't showing in the downloads either.
****edit
I found it in the downloads a couple hours after the problem started. I don't have a full solution, which sucks.

Might be it is sync ur gallery with fb photos. Uninstall app and reinstall.
I'm experiencing this exact problem, also initiated on its own. I uninstalled and reinstalled Facebook but that did not affect the perpetual downloading of this. Nor have several phone restarts, etc.

solution!!!
I don't know you already fix this problem or not.
I searched several site and finally got an answer for this problem.
Just connect WiFi and let it do whatever it want.
Before I found this, I tried several things;
1. restarted my phone
2. pulled out battery and put back
3. killed the process from task manager
4. removed FB account
5. removed FB app from my phone (actually, back to previous version) and update again
Non of these helped me ever!!!
Also, this problem is not device specific. (I realize it after googling it)
I mean various devices and locations had the same issue.
Anyway, good luck!!!

Thanks. Connecting it to wifi did allow it to finish the unending installation very quickly. That was annoying and I'd like to know why an update initiated on its own, seemingly from within the app and not through the Play store (I do not have any auto-updates allowed, especially for social media apps), and drained my battery while it looped an install process that was apparently constantly seeking a wifi signal to complete.
Thanks a lot!!

I started having this issue today on my Galaxy Tab 2. The only solution people found on different forums is ti turn on WiFi. It'll immediately start downloading and would get installed (Probably due to its size it does not want to be downloaded on 3G/4G). Although I don't feel very comfortable installing this, Does not feel very genuine to me.
Did any one else had this problem? or any issues after installing it?
I had to switch to Wifi about 3 or 4 times and then it finally downloaded. It tried to download all of last night and killed the battery. In the mean time my phone has switched to using Edge instead of 4g and no matter how many times I switch Airplane mode on/off or restart the phone I can't get my 4g back. Think it is just a local problem? I've got a S3 on T-mobile in Orange County, CA.
