Chrome laggy and unusable on pixel 2 xl - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Title says it all. Been dealing with it since shortly after the may update or so. I have watched YouTube videos, turned data saver off, and reached out to a couple members for help. Chrome was super fast and a joy to use before. Even when I had 20 tabs open it wouldn't miss a best. Now it freezes and lags for 20+ seconds when switching tabs, pulling the app up, when I switch wifi networks, and when I do other odds and ends too.
If I turn JavaScript off it seems to be fine, but so many things use JavaScript. I can't browse without it. Firefox doesn't behave this way. I have tried collecting various matlogs and there never seems to be any issues on them.
I've also been unable to look into my discover card credit card account. When ever I login and the page loads I'm prompted with a message that says "you are logged out." It's like it's booting me immediately, and I never get into the account. This doesn't happen in my Firefox browser. I didn't use chrome on my Galaxy s4 until the very end when Firefox started ticking me off. Maybe I'll have to go back.
What are you all experiencing, and what have you done to correct this issue if you've seen it? I'm on chrome 67.0. is anyone wkas experiencing this? Is it worth trying to uninstall updates? I don't want to really use an un-upfsted version of chrome though. I just want it to work right. Google searches didn't yield much help for this issue. There are a lot of threads about it from the 2012ish era, but there isn't anything recent.

honestly, you're issue is not common. I haven't had an issue with chrome in 3 years+.
Is this the only app you're having issues with? because if not, then there is something else going on...
What I would do is: clear cache, go into Manage Space, and clear all data. Then uninstall, restart phone and reinstall.
Try Chrome Beta if your feeling up to it - it's crazy fast and use it 3+ hours a day with 10 tabs, no issues.
I have all settings in chrome pretty much stock - always have data saver on because I use a lot of data.
Also, I use Brave browser sometimes just as a backup. It's amazing cuz it's based off of chrome. But nothing works like chrome does, thats why I always keep it my default browser. Everyone used their phone differently but for me, Chrome is always consistent and fast.

yeah...maybe clearing the cache, data, and even uninstalling the updates (as you mentioned) might set things right...

This ended up being a bad, bloated host file for AdAway. I don't remmeber the name, but I think I posted it in the AdAway thread. Mods, feel free to close this one out. Thanks.

WIFI Problems since MyFroyo RC4

Ever since going from MyFroyo RC4 to RC5 & RC6 (and even the Cyanogen RC01, I have had problems with my wifi.
I am posting here to see if anyone else is experiencing these problems, and to find out what changed between RC4 and RC5.
I have no cell service at my house, so when I flash a new ROM, I need to leave the house and go to an area where I get service before I can connect to the Google Servers to set up my device. When on Wifi, I also have problems downloading Google items in the market (such as Google Search Bar) and can't even use Google.com to search for anything. It times out. I can, however, use other websites and download other items (once I've set up my device remotely).
If I am setting this up over Edge or 3G, there are never any problems.
If I re-flash back to MyFroyo RC4, I can use my wifi with no problem to do everything I need.
I really love the updates since RC4 - but am worried that I'll be left in the dust since all the builds since RC4 have had this issue for me. :-/
I'm in the same boat and experience the same WiFi issues.

I've never had a single Wifi issue, although I never really tested on RC1 too much. I'm currently running Eugene's newest CM6, have you tried that one yet?

supposed to be a cyanogenmod issue though i havent experienced it myself (i also have horrible service 1-2 bars edge max) using wifi everything loads up fast and everything downloads just fine! but if i were you i would try the nightlies they are supposed to have fixed the problem by now if im not mistaken
I've experienced a lot of this too. Marker downloads were pretty much not happening for me, no matter what - Wifi or Data. On data, it would download but never install. On Wifi no images in the market would load and no download would activate. I also couldn't use Google.com or sign into Gmail via the browser or other Google services. I did a lot of searching and heard it could be Google.
What I did to fix it... I did some nandroids, I did some wipes and updates and complete formats, etc. What I finally think I had was a problem in my packages.xml file where so many programs were mismatched due to Froyo's ability to use apps2fat32. I think at some point some nandroiding I had done,etc screwed up my package assignments and then I just fresh installed and DO NOT BACK DATA/SETTINGS UP WITH GOOGLE! haha, I honestly think that had a lot to do with it also...Go into your Privacy and turn auto restore off, turn backup data off, then reset your device with a wipe of it all and such, boot up and don't select backup with Google. I've had no more issues really.

I've actually tried the new nightly's and still have the same problems. I've also tried completely wiping it and starting from scratch- and made sure not to back up w/ GOOGLE servers- but to no avail.
I wonder if anyone on here can figure out what changed between MyFroyo RC4 and RC5 that could cause this - seems something is blocking the Google Synch. I've also experienced the problems mentioned above regarding the market items not downloading, no images, etc. Just seems weird that it worked completely fine before RC5, which came out around the same time as the Cyanogen 6 Slide RC1
From my personal experience I'd have to say that wifi is slightly bugged. Drops randomly and occassionally won't detect my network when other Android devices will (any encryption, which is for suckers anyway )
At least I know I'm not the only one w/ this problem. I couldn't find a cyanogen defect for this issue.
Same here. I have no wifi. My g1 connects just fine and my hd2 but on the slide its a no go. Ive tried everything but eventually just gave up. Im using Eugenes Ota update. Im not sure if its just the slide in general but my wifi doesn't work period. It'll connect but if i load up youtube or try the web I get a no connection error. Its very peculiar. Incredibly peculiar.
I am having the same issue. I noticed people talked about it with CM6 rc1 but not everyone was having the issue and the subject died off. Ive tried reloading, wiping everything, htcclay's new version but nothing seems to help. The wifi is just strange will work for a page or two than fail to load or loads half way. Also tried on several different networks. Does anyone know if the driver is the same in eugenes as in these later ones?
After wiping and keeping a good eye on everything, the issue I have with Wifi and the browser is that sometimes it just hangs about 75% page load and doesn't really change unless I leave the phone go for a bit and wait for it to load.
Downloaded Opera Mini (only browser I could find that doesn't use the native browser). With Opera, I've actually hadn't had any loading issues or anything weird like that happen. So many a possible partial-bypass is using another browser? It helped me, just thought I'd share.

Same bugginess happening here, too. Iffy, at best. Other than that and of course the non-necessary FN and CAPS light, this is the only issue, anymore, that I can see.

[Q] Does your stock browser force close?

I really don't know if I am at the correct forum, as I have more of an issue rather than a question...
So i got the Nexus for a week now and it was great until yesterday where the stock browser won't load some specific sites (which also happen to be on the bookmark widget on my homepage). Every time it loads up to 90% on the one site and sits there till if closes and returns you to the homescreen without any message. Every ''stuck'' website has it's one load percentage where it stucks. Other sites work fine.
I downloades dolhin HD and got the same issue while opera mini worked fine although i dont like it)
Any similar experience or solutions?
things i have tried:
1. Reboot
2. removed widget
3. Cleared browser data + cache
Strange. You running any custom ROM or all stock?
Browser has been pretty damn solid for me so far, and I use it quite a bit.

UVLH1 crashes consistently

So I updated through kies to uvlh1, and the phone seemed smooth and responsive at first. But after updating all the apps through google play and now whenever I add/click the accu weather, or other widgets, TwLauncher crashes and the screen goes black for at least 1 minute before becoming useable again. I tried reflashing through odin but it made no difference. Only a factory reset (data clear) remedies the problem. Can anyonr confirm/ help? (besides installing a different launcher)
Edit: the problem seems to be the my account app. After updating it, the phone became unresponsive for a few seconds, and the problem resurfaced.
next time check how much free memory it has left
if it works fine, until you download apps from Android Market
then that means one of the Apps from Market, is most likely the cause of the problem
so, instead of letting it automatically install all the Apps you had in the Market
do it manually, and choose specific apps that you use to install
do it one at a time, and see how the phone responds, rinse and repeat until you find the faulty App
This is the very same reason why i came back to CM9 from CM10, found several Apps that were not behaving properly on JB, but works without any problem on ICS
many Apps has since been updated to be JB compatible, so keep an eye on your favourite apps, or those must have installed apps to make sure they are compatible with JB

The memory is fine, but after reinstalling every app except the my account one, the error seems to have vanished. However, id like to know if anyone has the same problem. Because otherwise, my phone is crazy and i need to call tmobile for an exchange.
So don't update my account

I have noticed that the new Facebook app have some bugs that makes the phone to crash. I get a white screen and then later it says fb stop responding. but then again I have noticed some lag on the this update and on the one before.
I think they have a new app that is kinda like my account but it uses the browser use that instead. the only thing you cant do right now is pay your bill but they will be adding that feature soon.

Thats wierd i had the same problem but vice versa, see im in US Tmobile towers and my device came stock UVLH1 and when i did the kies thing ,,, it gave me UVLE1 so my data and wifi were not functioning correctly one or the other had to be turned off so that i could make or recieve call on data or download and browse on wifi... i found the UVLH1 site and flashed the radio and know both work . maybe u need to flash UVLE1 so that ur problem disapers:laugh::good:

XDA Forum performance...

Is it just me or is anyone else having issues with horrible periodic lag on the forums? What I mean is, I browse the forum I frequent for news about ROMS for my phone, see the list of threads...navigating XDA up until this point is rarely and issue...Lag starts when I click a link to a THREAD...I have had it take several minutes to load the thread. Getting so bad that I have gotten into the habit of RMC'ing them and opening in a new tab all the threads I want read, then go back to another website to occupy myself while I wait for them to load.
Whats interesting is that I only experience this while on my PC using ANY browser, but if on my phone and using Tapatalk, there is zero lag, the threads open instantly and I'm off and running! Both my phone and PC are on the same WiFi, so I know its not my connection.
Not sure what I can do to possibly improve performance on the PC side. Anyone else run across this issue and figure out how to improve the performance? I thought it might be latency associated with ads trying to load, so I installed a browser ad blocker, but that doesn't seem to have helped any either.
Just frustrating....any thoughts, suggestions?

I had some lag in the past, but nothing major. The issue you're experiencing is strange, to say the least.
It is a huge forum with close to 5,000,000 members and almost 51,000 online right now.
Plus the ads are horrendous.
It used to crawl for me too with any browser.
Started using Chrome with an ad blocker and problem solved 98% of the time. Very rarely they will have server issues. By and far the ad blocker fixed things.
There is a thread somewhere in the About forum on this issue.
Is the site actually loading slow? Or do the ads freeze your browser? Seems like two totally separate things.
If it is the ads, does it also happen on Chrome or IE?

wifi slow / websites take ages to load or fail

Hi As per above move websites are taking an age to load or do not load at all, yet my Note 4 runs perfectly on the same wifi and at the same time - I've tested both - same site and its fast, whereas the tab s isn't.
I've cleared the cache and done the usual stuff. reluctant at this point to do a factory reset as it takes so long to recover android devices.
Any quick ideas to try?
Strangely when I've run a speedtest it show similar to the phone!!!!
I'm on 5.0.1. UK wifi only T800.
thanks
What browser are you using, have you tried other`s ??
John.
Chrome beta (on both devices)... I will try another....
Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk
Well another browser didn't work. Neither did a factory reset. However deleting the device on my router and the WiFi connection on the tab 's appears to have sorted it...
Since the lollipop update of all the browsers I have tried on this device, and I have pretty much tried most of them, the stock browser is the best. Its fluid, pretty much lag free and has the best layout.
