Hi!
I have a strange problem since I upgraded to the "new" official rom. Everytime I start the browser through the globe my phone starts two browsers. If I start through the favourites it starts as normal. Is there a fix for this?
Also, deleting favorites does still not work - they just won't die.
I guess I should try seeing if I have the same problem with the stock browser.
Edit: stock browser loads fine, just super slow.
Anyways. When loading pages like cracked or any of my bank accounts I get a data connectivity popup. Slightly annoying.
Page loads fine, just has that little hiccup.
Is there some super simple remedy?
xscopes a decent third party browser (I switched over to it when he decided that 4.99 was a fair price for Dolphin) it may be worth you checking it out.
I had problems with some pages in Dolphin and they work fine in xscope and the default.
If not, the dev for Dolphin used to be pretty friendly and quick to replying to problems, so its best to try and contact him.
So I am probably one of the few that is running a completely stock unrooted nook I was playing around with the new update today and downloaded a handful of the free apps. I have several questions:
1) For some reason my Fliq Notes icon disappeared, I can still use the app perfectly fine, but it's showing a gray standard b&n icon, any way to fix this? I tried "archiving" it and installing again, no dice.
2) What is archiving anyway? I'm completely new to Android if that matters. Is it like uninstalling something in windows?
3) In the apps screen, what is that right most "refresh" looking button? Whenever I click it it just spins forever and never stops.
Overall I must say that the nook runs much smoother than it did with Android 2.1. PDFs seem to render faster, the web browser pinch to zoom is smoother as well. Flash is great!
I run a stock unrooted nook, except when I run off an SD card.
I have a similar issue with fliq calendar's icon. I have a suspicion, after reading some reviews on other sites, that this may be a fliq issue.
I agree that the whole experience is a lot smoother with the update.
When browsing the web if I press the home button or go into another app and immediately back into the browser all of the tabs want to refresh, even if there is only one tiny html file open. I have read about many people having this problem on different android devices but it never gets much attention. I am not clear what the issue is, can anyone give me a little bit more info?
I currently run an up to date Serendipity 7 on my Captivate and use Dolphin HD although this happens in the stock browser. Never tried any others. I have run many roms on this device and all of them have had this problem, although some more sporadically than others. With the latest Serendipity it happens like clockwork. I don't use a task killer, the browser doesn't close.
Sounds like a ram priority issue, cache not being written to disk or something. Is this general to the kernel? Is there a browser available that saves pages to disk until you've navigated away for a while? Why do most people not have this problem? Where should I post this so it gets the proper attention?
First post, longtime lurker, this issue is making me mad.
Sorry for the general tone of the question. I've had cm10.1 and now cm11 (a nightly) from just before m11 was released. All the time I've been using these roms I've always had the browser FC (doesn't matter which one, they all FC, losing my open tabs, although I use Dolphin mostly), and also, frequentl, the keyboard doesn't stay up - it just pops up and then closes before I can use it. I hardly ever get shutdowns but the other FC and keyboards problems are so annoying.
Do I have to do something in particular like manage the ram using a utility or is it just the nature of CM11?
Edit : by the way, I did proper clean installs of CM, all by the book. And by the way, the two other Nooks in the house have the same problem, and one of them freezes occasionally.
You might consider using logcat to see if there some common culprits to the problems you're experiencing.

It happens to me too(CM10.1) with every browser without distinction.
don't know if it's because I have the ROM installed on sdcard instead of on emmc but when I used a hybrid build it happened too.
So I'm guessing it's inherent to all ROMs on the nookHD/+ as I don't remember it ever happening on stock nook OS., but it also happens on the HD.
It's really annoying and I wonder if other people don't experience it.
If you don't experience the random browser force close, could you name which ROM/version/emmc/sd/etc you're using?

If you look at my signature you can see that I can only manage at most in the 300 hour range on the nook hd+ till a force reboot. And in between then mostly firefox and background services often fc.
And that's not an android specific problem as my phone is currently over 1725 hours with all kinds of use and no fc's that I can ever remember nor any forced reboots. Even though I hardly use the browser on it, I wouldn't expect it to do what happens on the nook.
[On the nook] Firefox fc's when too much ram is used, [ram seems correct. Never checked exactly] but it comes back up with all tabs, and certain websites won't even load because its too much [or something with that appearance]. Firefox also causes fc's [to happen] on background services..
There are apps for easy access to the ram management settings, but I don't care enough to try [I would buy a new device to improve everything over this old tablet]. Found out first hand though that they don't help when there's a hardware defect.
[Still, all I really know about it is that like yours, my nook hd+ isn't nearly as stable as it could or should be. Never really looked into it.]
