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
This morning my 2 yo decided to have a play with my phone. He handed me the phone back and blurbed something like its was broken daddy.
When I had a look it had the below screen shot on the screen, "Unfortunately, (INSERT FOREIGN LANGUAGE HERE) Has Stopped."
The only thing I can see wrong is that the keyboard is now not working. Dialer still works but the keyboard in browser, sms, email........... have stopped working.
Every time I change screens this error pops up. I had a look in the apps menu and the keyboard is still showing as an installed app but its not showing in the running apps menu. I thought it normally did?
Anyone had this problem? Or can suggest a fix?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Tried with another keyboard ?
Thanks for that, I just found the problem.
My boy enable a k/board option (Chinese) that isn't an option. I can't disable in the k/board options but I can disable it in the programs.
Ok this just started happening like . Today.... every time im playing a game like six guns or iruna . And i get a text message it tottaly freezes my game and then fc the game and im on the home screen
Sent from my VS910 4G
Could just be the game because when I get a text message in a game it'll freeze the game then i'll reply to my message then go back to my game.
Has anyone experienced any of these problems:
1) when you drag down to refresh gmail the little round icon which animates to show it's busy gets left behind with a dot in it?
2) when google photos is saving after an edit sometimes the "saving" message doesn't go away and you have to swipe the app away in the task manager to wake it up. It has saved it, though.
3) Sometimes it pops up little "xxx has been closed" messages on stuff like the stock music app (which I've never actually used). Perhaps this is memory management at work?
4) In firefox it sometimes pops up the "copy/paste" message when i'm typing in the url bar. It pops up for no reason and you have to press back to get rid of it, then go and click in the url bar again.
5) Newly installed apps don't always appear in the play store. You can search for them, and you can open them a few time or wait or something...not sure what makes them finally turn up in the list to be honest.

Hi does anyone have Facebook app crashes consistently after the new update that T-Mobile pushed? ? It's getting annoying. Also the Automatic brightness control is out of sync! ?
No crashes here, but Facebook app is a power hogging app, I use my browser for facebook.

Don't use facebook app(except messenger), so can't comment on that, but auto-brightness seems to be fine.
Crashes quite often and videos stop playing for no reason. Also have issue with zoom in the app. Sometimes font is small and other times it feels like I'm viewing the landscape mode but holding my phone upright on portrait mode.
My Facebook all has never worked for longer than about a month for me, on any of my last 5 or so Samsung devices. It always crashes whenever I try to open comments or notifications, but it lets me scroll down my news feed for a few minutes.
Weird thing is that my spouse has never had any of these issues and he has the same phone.
Sometimes uninstalling/downgrading and reinstalling or clearing cache and app data will bring the app back to a usable state for a few days, but I just use Facebook mobile on my browser.
I encountered the issue during the beta phase of that Facebook version, prompting me to revert back to non-beta. Try uninstalling and re-installing it back. It may work
