anybody else experiencing random FCs when visiting google.com or googling anything? It started happening RIGHt when the website changed and other coworkers that have this phone said the same thing....im suprised nobody has mentioned this yet
im on CM7.1
Just tried going to google.com and doing a search in both the stock browser and Miren browser and it worked fine
tried stock and dolphin mini and works fine.
What browser are you using? I use Dolphin HD and have had no issues lately.

doesnt dolphin use the same API as the stock android browser? I used firefox and browser....browser tries, hangs and then force closes....firefox just force closes as soon as i go to google.com
its weird.
I have never had that problem on either my CM7 captivate or my 2.3.3 cog5b3 phone. Both I am using Dolphin HD and both have Google.com setup as my homepage. So no issues here.
Also I just tried it via the stock browser and it also has Google.com as the homepage and it worked too. Try going into settings, applications, find the browser and clear the data for it and see if that helps.

So I just got the Note recently and so far I'm liking it (came from Iphone 4).... BUT, 1 thing that has GOT TO CHANGE!!! Is..... when I open stock browser and open tabs, if I close the browser and then go back to it my tabs are all gone!!! And it just shows home page...
Has anyone figured this out?? I haven't installed any task manager stuff. I need to get this fixed though. Is there a fix for this?
I've tried searching this forum and google but don't see much info. Most of the stuff I see says to uninstall task killers, but I didn't install anything just stock task manager for the Note.
I've tried different browsers also but none of them really seem to keep the tabs open, it is very annoying
Any ideas?
bump for friday!!!
This is more of a workaround.
Instead of exiting the browser with the back button, press the home button. When you go back to the browser (by long pressing the home button to access the running tasks) the tabs should still be there.
Probably best to have put this in the Q&A section
Thanks for the reply!! But this is what I'm doing... even that doesn't work. In fact, I don't use the back button too much, I mostly use the home button...
There is no fix for this? Can someone tell me the cause of it? Is it something to do with a Samsung task manager? Is there a new task manager I can install or seomthing I can tweak in the OS? Perhaps seomething in the browser config or task manager config?
I don't have this problem... especially with Dolphin Browser. Those bloody tabs persist after reboots. It is a pain in the arse to get rid of them, you have to kill them manually.
Any body else know a fix??
Maybe I'll try firefox see how that works. I did d/l dolphin but haven't tried yet
You can install ZDbox, it is an app that was developed by an Xda member. It has a task killer incorporated within the app where you can put the browser in the protected apps by long pressing and adding it. After you do this, the app will not be closed if you kill all other apps.
Let me know if it resolves the issue. (it is available for free in the market)
Why are you using stock browser anyway . It's crap . I never managed to download anything with it . And after " download " it can't parse it . Use OPERA MOBILE . ( NOT mini ) . You'll thank me later

Ok I tried ZDbox, however the browser doesnt even show up in the process list of ZDbox lol... It shows up in my task manager, but not in ZDbox.
I will just use a different browser... I see so many browsers, which is best? How does Opera compare with Firefox? I kinda like Maxthon also, but it isn't saving my tabs either
Download Opera. It's the fastest browser, as it uses hardware acceleration.
Its not witht stock browser. If you are opening too many apps and then press Home key, the Android system will put the browser to sleep but it keeps it in memory. If you launch another app at this point which asks for more RAM than there is available, Android will start exiting the apps that are residing in the memory. When that happens, the browser could also be force closed by the system. Dunno how to fix that since I am not a dev.
If you use other browsers, you wont have the GPU acceleration and hence smoothness, in my opinion.
Just my 2 cents.

The two of you should talk: his tabs don't stay and yours are hurting your ass
So how is everyone with the Note fixing or getting around this? I'm trying Opera now...
Well, after using the Opera browser... i gotta say I like it. EXCEPT it doesn't remember my tabs either!! It seems like none of the browsers are working right with tabs... unless i'm doing soemething wrong? Is there any way to remember tabs in opera mobile?
When I press the back button on Dolphin it ask if I want to close the browser or minimize it.
What would be nice is.... like Safari on iphone... if you kill it, it still opens up with all your tabs... or a desktop firefox, it always allows you to restore your previous session/tabs...
I HAVE to keep tabs open, instead of re-opening 5 pages/tabs evertime the browser just feels like forgetting them
Anybody know about the great Note browser mystery??
How long after you press home are you checking, if you leave it in sleep mode for some time, android will kill the high power consuming processes and that is why your tabs are not getting stored...
I think what you want is a browser which remembers your previous tabs and reload all of them whenever you open a browser.. i dont think stock or dolphin or opera has such an option, did you try the mobile version of firefox.. maybe it remebers tabs...
And to those people this is not about multitasking... it is just that he wants the browser to remember his tabs so that it can reload itself everytime a new instance opens...

YES!! thank you..thats exactly right! i've tried so many browsers so far and have yet to find one that does!! It seems so weird to me that none of these browsers have a session restore or tab restore option. let me try firefox... i haven't really tried it yet. BUT i just read firefox for andoird DOES have hardware acceleration... I'M ON IT! will report back
After using FF for a bit...I can report it is the same as other browsers There is no session restore and it closes my tabs also. When I launch it, it shows me my "previously closed tabs" but it won't let me restore them all......I have to click on each one to restore
So this is still a aproblem
Hello, i don't have a permission to write in threads in developers section so i wanted to ask you this way.
Is anybody having an browser issue on Overcome rom 2.2?
I get FC after starting browser.
no issues here. have you tried another browser like dolphin or opera? You can fix permissions and see if that resolves your issues
Yes i have faced this issue. I just ignored it and used the dolphin HD. I have another problem where clock FC after every reboot
i know that other browsers work, but i wanted to fix the android browser functionallity.
I have tried android browser from other roms, but i'm still getting FC
Which browser you all using? Stock browsing and dolphin also all lag when scrolling.
Now using opera as so far my best browser.
Hi, I noticed that on my S3 Mini Dolphin Browser for some reason cannot succesfully erase cookies - every attempt to clear cookies (ONLY cookies,everything else can be cleared succesfully) through Dolphin settings or application manager leads browser to force close. Tried on 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 (stock, no root) with exactly the same result,wiping does not have any effect on this. Anyone else having this issue? Thanks..
Hey guys!
I tried some 4.4 Roms and I am also running Carbon 4.4 at this time. For me the Browser does often force close while normal browsing... I am using Dolphin but also with Mozilla or Next Browser I got the force closes
most of the time I am surfing on facebook.
Does anybody else gets this force closes randomly?
Hope for some answers!
regards nbock

Force closing with error massage or just closes itself? I have Dolphin closing itself sometimes no matter what page I'm on. Not all the time but once every 2-3 weeks.
Have you tryed chrome beta ?
I used it with omnirom and Art runtime.
I also experience some fc with dolphin.
The FCs might be caused by your Facebook browsing. Facebook stashes up a lot of cache; something of which our device doesn't have an awful lot. You might be better off using Facebook's app for browsing your feed.
