Dolphin Browser seems to have an issue with the new 4.2 update, my tablet would crash every time I try and use it. That said, on a hunch, I uninstalled Dolphin Jetpack to see if it had an effect on the crashing, and it did. After uninstalling Jetpack, my Dolphin Browser doesn't crash anymore.
I'm curious if the assumed fix is consistent. If you are having trouble with Dolphin and have Jetpack, try uninstalling Jetpack and report back if it helped or not.

Was having the same problem and uninstalling the Jetpack addon seems to have resolved it. Interestingly, I was having similar problems with Firefox and removing Jetpack seems to have helped with it too, though it still seems a bit unstable (e.g., crashes when loading Release Notes page from settings menu).
Jetpack isn't worth it at this point either way. Tap-to-zoom doesn't work very well with it as the page doesn't center properly. And when you use pinch-to-zoom the page shifts at the beginning and isn't centered properly.
Hi all,
Nexus 7 with 4.2 and I've never installed Jetpack. dolphin crashes on opening. I've un installed it along with the rest of the add ons and rebooted with a reinstall no luck... anyone know of a fix?

Dolphin + jetpack are working fine for me.
I think they patched it.

Same for me
I don't know about dolphin beta but dolphin browser works perfect for me!
It's very smooth. Chrome is a bit laggy for me. Untill the chrome gets perfect, I have to use dolphin.

I can't see Chrome doing anything that Dolphin doesn't already do.
Dolphin has flash support & they've also implemented the zoom refine box that chrome uses when a touch is just off.
Dolphin Beta updated yesterday or so but it's still unstable for me.. Works mostly when browsing, but every time I open the launcher from a link from some other app, it crashes immediately.
the only reason i use dolphin is because it has autorefresh (Tab Reload) Plugin, get me that on stock/chrome and im happy
the reason why i need the addon is because we use a wifi-hotspot login here that logs out after 45 minutes, everyone else have to relog in while i make it refresh a page which has the user/pass parsed already..so in a way im constantly connected , have the same setup on laptop too
using android 4.2.1 , see no crashing here
If has texte wrapping... Chrome sucks....

I flashed my first rom successfully yesterday, serendipity 6.4. Everything's great except 2 things so far; 1. my default browser doesn't work, my skyfire works but I liked the default best. 2. I added email thru the kitchen but every time I open it it force closes. Any suggestions?
How is the default browser functioning incorrectly? Need a little more detail than that to help.
"Web page not available" is what comes up whenever I open the default browser or google search. My skyfire browser works so I assume any other browser I get would work. But I really liked that one. It's like not connected to my internet. It might be a setting that I can't find, idk. I should see if it works on wifi maybe. Only my only wifi connection is myself...

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.
Sent from my Cappy using Swype and my middle finger.
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.

The standard thread question...
I didn't see any prior topics about this. I use the CM9 nightlies.
I've tried the following:
Browser (I haven't really used this much)
Chrome (I get a lot of crashes when I scroll quickly on sites with heavy coding)
Dolphin (Don't like how the address bar disappears when scrolling down)
Dolphin Mini (I like how the address bar stays, but this browser has limited features)
Opera HD (Meh)
Maxthon (Everyone says to use this one. While it's nice, I've found that you can't really open a lot of tabs with this browser without it crashing and/or freezing.)
What do you guys use? What should I try?
It doesn't look like you have tried Firefox, so that might be worth a go. It is a very personal choice, but I have stuck with the ICS browser for most use (also have Chrome, Dolphin and Firefox installed).
Dolphin. It's fast and fullscreen. I would've used Chrome (i like the sync with Google account), but it's laggy and adress bar and tabs are unhideable.
For now, I'm using ICS Browser+.
I have most of the ones mentioned installed, but use ICS Browser+ most of the time.
I've just been using the standard browser. It allows a desktop user agent, supports flash, has tabs and is pretty stable which is all i need.

I think opera mobile its more stable browser
I myself haven't found any reason to switch from the stock browser. I love the quick controls.
I like Dolphin HD for all my Andorid decices. I like having multipe tabs open.
*EDIT*scratch that, after a few days.of ok browsing with Dolphin HD, I can't even get it open without crashing. It's constantly asking me to send an error report. Gonna try uninstalling and reinstalling and see what happens.

The new Firefox is probably the fastest browser on android.
I still use the Firefox Nightlies because I like the gestures for closing tabs.

One thing about Dolphin's address bar disappearing when browsing, you can change the setting so its always showing.

Hi
I have the most recent dolphin browser and flash side loaded for the kfhd. I am experiencing crashes a lot with dolphin to the point where it occurs almost every session. Has anyone found a version of dolphin that doesn't force close? I am almost going to delete and just use silk, thankd

Try maybe to find an older version of it. That's how I got fire fox to work.
8.5.1 show work great dolphin

V9.0.0 great to me. i will continue testing this version. and let you know how it works.
Dolphin worked good for a while then nothing but crashes, now I use Holoweb, it's great no crashes.
Does holoweb enable desktop pages only, I hate mobile websites. Also flash is a must. I tried 9.0.0 and 9.0.1 and both crash frequently. The last version before 9.0.0 also crashed.

had to restart kindle but looks like Dolphin doesnt want to run flash to well.. has already crashed once.... and looks like its about to again
This usually occurs when I attempt to open a new tab. The animation for opening the tab will stutter, then crash a few seconds later. I have tried uninstalling chrome multiple times, but I have not had success.
I've noticed this when I newly open the app and start typing right away. Tried clearing cache for chrome but still persists..

I've noticed in regular chrome and chrome beta, but not in chrome dev.
Been running it a week and it hasn't happened once. Happened daily with the others.
I was having the same issue for a while, particularly when opening and starting to type right away (using Swiftkey if that matters). Cleared data on Chrome, and so far so good, but it's only been a day or two.
Yes clearing data keeps it running fine for a while..then its back

I'm also using SwiftKey. Have any of you filed a bug to Google?
I don't use SwiftKey and the same thing happens.

Same here, very odd. I'll try the dev version and see what happens.
I too experience Chrome crashing on loading (i.e., tap on Chrome, Chrome loads up, then crashes immediately prior to opening up a new tab to start surfing a website). My S6 has Android 5.02, G920AUCU1AOE2 baseband, still affected on CleanROM 1.1-OE2, with Chrome 42.0.2311.111.
Same behavior here, sporadic crashes. Using TouchPal, but have swiftkey installed. Will try dev version.
Switched to Samsung's browser myself. Uses less resources (I think that's why chrome is crashing) and is as fast as the iPhone's safari browser.
Again - no crashes on Chrome Dev. Not once and I've been running it over a week.
Is this happening only for the bloated AT&T version? Man I hate this random crashing... I really shouldn't have got the AT&T version.
I have AOE2 version ROM, and latest Chrome browser.
I don't think the keyboard matters. I'm using Google Korean Keyboard.
Same situation even after the latest update from att.
I'm using chrome dev, no issues crashing any longer
