When I click links on Facebook, it opens a Web page, then both F.B. and the Web page force close. It doesn't matter if I set stock browser or Chrome as default.

Same thing was happening to me so i uninstalled the facebook updates and now it works the right way. I guess it has to do with the new facebook update so im just gonna wait until they release a new one and see if that one works.
Force closing for me too. Also switches to browser and does not load link.

Friendcaster is a hands down, far superior app for Facebook, then the Official Facebook app. It does it in less room, with a plethora of options the Official app doesn't have. I can do almost everything on Friendcaster I can online, and faaaaarrrrrrrrr more then the FB app. Try it!!
hmmm, I will have to check it out. Thanks for the 411
Thanks sinsin it is a better app than facebook android.
Bummer it doesn't have chat.
Black facebook! Its the best ! Its not in the market tho

seems to me that what this app does os mostly provide notifications of updates and then send you to the facebook app or the webpage to do updates or even simply reply to messages. Will have to play with it some more however.

Been forever. If you're using the free version it doesn't do half of what the paid one does. If youre using the paid version there are options in the settings to choose actions for things. So it really does everything better. Even the FB app forces you to the website for stuff. Plus the paid version of Friendcaster has a black theme, to answer the post before yours. Not sure what options the free version has so if you're using it read up on it. It may be limited to certain things and options.

Firefox vs chrome vs Dilphin ..
Addons vs speed vs gestures, which is better in ur experience ?
I periodically try the others, but keep going back to Maxthon. Not much in the way of add-ons, but then I don't need much. The built-in "reader" mode works for most sites and gives an easy-to-read, clutter-free experience.
Boat browser, by far.

Tried a lot of browsers but stock browser is still my favourite by far. Its Quick Controls feature is something I can't live without.
I was actually getting fed up last night with chrome and chrome beta crashing every 2 seconds so i jumped on play store and grabbed a random browser just for fun, i found UC Browser HD and so far i absolutely love it! It works great in portrait and landscape and it feels like it loads pages really quick. Also, i almost forget to mention two finger swipe for adding and closing tabs and a handy little toolbar on the bottom right that you can add shortcuts to, right under where your right thumb usually rests.

I'd like to mention that for me UC browser was horrible because it spammed my devices. I complained directly in their forum and asked for ad free version but they don't have a pay version. So for me UC was out of the game.

For me it's mostly chrome as I have no bugs and it works flawlessly with chrome on my desktop for bookmarks and tabs. Stock browser for everything else because of flash.. And the speed. Gotta love that speed.
It seems like everyone is stating something else. I think it's best to just try some and see for yourself.

I prefer using the stock aosp browser but on my n7 it geta wonky on every rom ive tried. It will randonly freeze up and fc and stop being able to go back to the last page. I dont have time to get around and try every rom because of time and because i have 3 users on the device so restoring is a *****. If someone could pm me a rom that the aosp browser (not chrome) works good for them id appreciate it.
Opera is amazing. Chrome is good. Firefox has really upped their game lately and I still hate stock.

Well, I use ad blocker, too. When using UC Browser the first page/start screen showed always ads. To be true, if you're willing you can ignore it... but I am very sensitive to ads. They annoy me. :angel:
For all fans of Dolphin browser ->
read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319529
Right now I'm using stock CM browser.
The AOSP browser by a long mile, IMHO... Sure, the other browsers (Dolphin, Opera, Maxthon) might have more options (lots of bells and whistles), but AOSP has the edge in terms of speed and smoothness.
For anybody not rooted or unwilling to flash a custom ROM, then Lightning Browser is the next best thing to the AOSP browser... (IMHO, of course).
Here are the links...

Hi, youdug...
I've never experienced any problems with the AOSP browser in Paul O' Briens MoDaCo ROMs... including the CyanogenMod variant I'm currently running...

On my Galaxy 3, I prefer Boat Browser (it's unbelievable fast),
But on my n7, I use Firefox because of f-sync, add-ons and flash...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Tried almost all browsers in market and my favorite browser is AOSP browser love that speed and flash support. But sometime using Chrome because of browser sync feature is really useful.
How do I get firefox to work with flash ?
I tried installing the archived android flash from adobe website and nothing ?
I've recently switched to AOSP browser, and I'm happy with it.
I used chrome before, but got annoyed by those popup bubbles when clicking links, because it ended up showing a bubble EVERY time I'd click something.
And also I can't stand their text scaling, most signatures on XDA were MASSIVE while actual posts were tiny.
I tried other browsers as well, every one had something that bugged me (like swiping from one side would bring up a menu or such...)
I still use Firefox occasionally when chrome or AOSP won't download something or for very rare flash.
I've been getting stupid pop up ads on my phone for the last week or so. I read that on 4.2+ I can long press on the ad and it'll tell me which app is causing this but it's not working for me. I'm using Dodol launcher; could that be why? I've also tried TrustGo Ad Detector and it doesn't tell me squat. How do I find out exactly which app is causing these ads so I can get rid of it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app
Is there anything in the notification window when these ads popup? Do you have a screen shot?
I ask because there seems to be two different kinds of ads: those who have a notification and those who don't. With the first kind, you can just do what you said and kill the app's notifications. If it's the second kind, you will have to uninstall anything that may be causing it until it goes away.
My wife used my old S3 for a while and was plagued by this problem. I had never seen it before, but she had a few shopping apps that I don't use.

There's nothing in the notification bar. The really sucky part is that I downloaded quite a few new apps and now I have to get rid off most of them just to be sure.

Long story short my messages app sucks! Short Story long I love the messages app but it don't love me back. I'm sure many of you will suggest that I use hangouts or chomp or textra or some other third party message app which I do but I really want to use the stock app. I'm using hangouts by default right now. That's bc my stock app started acting up about 2 months after use. It would just freeze while texting and doing all kind of weird things that it shouldn't do. I thought it was just my phone and hoped that lollipop would fix it and started using hangouts but lollipop isn't here. Furthermore I bought my wife a note about a month ago after convincing her to leave the iPhone (greatest thing she ever did besides marrying me) and her phone started doing the exact same thing. So I'm curious if anyone else experienced this. I've tried clearing cache, deleting old messages and googling a solution but came with no luck. So here I am reaching out to my fellow xda-ers to see if anyone else had the same problem or better yet a solution?

That's really strange. Are you both on T-Mobile? I have not used the stock app since day 1, and I don't like Hangouts, but I do have problems sometimes messaging with my girlfriend. We both have Note 4's with Textra, but she is on Verizon and I am on the big pink T. We had no problems when we both had T-Mobile.
What sorts of things is the stock messaging app doing? I've used it for months with no issues on stock deodexed NK4
Yeah we're both t mobile. Basically while your trying to type it'll freeze the phone for 30 secs to a couple of minutes to the point it's unusable. Sometimes everything you typed will catch up but sometime it will just force close

Sounds like you both are using stock keyboard. Try swift key. Factory keyboard had a lot of lag. If you guys are rooted start debloating. Should help a ton.

did you try clearing cache from twrp?
may want to try clearing data on your browser app, or whatever is dong the downloads, if the above doesnt work.
Cleared all browser cache's, cleared cache with twrp, cleared cache's of download, and download managers, and the file browsers. Accidentally deleted my actual downloads though lol so gonna see if I can get the problem to happen again to see if it's fixed!
