Chrome Crashing - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6

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.

I've noticed this when I newly open the app and start typing right away.

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

Dolphin Browser and 4.2

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....

[Q] CM 10.1 runs very slow and apps keep closing/crashing

I just recently got a nook hd+ and rooted it, I did three full wipes for safe measure using TWRP wiped everything but the sdcard prior to installing cm-10.1.3-RC2-ovation.
I noticed it had a good amount of lag when switching home screens, opening apps, opening the app drawer, recent apps ect.
And apps would run slow and close/freeze on me, for instance I was on chrome entering in a url and everything would freeze for a sec then inputs what I entered, and with only three to four tabs open and it keep closing on me, even the stock browser.
Also when I have any background apps running like say iHeartRadio playing in the background and say Facebook in the foreground after about 20 to 30 seconds sometimes instantly iHeartRadio will close with no errors or FC popups.
I am now running cm-10.1.3-ovation (Stable) since its release, did a clean installation (full wipe) and still having all the same problems,
Is this a known issue? Did I do something wrong? Anyone else experiencing the same?
Any help is very much appreciated
I have same issue....

I have had some problems, but most of them seem to be caused by chrome. Chrome clearly has stability issues as evidenced by the near daily updates. The browser that comes with CM works quite well.

So I removed chrome and wiped both dalvik cache and cache also used SD Maid, but still experiencing the same issues.
This thing runs so slow it doesn't seem right, I mean my hp touchpad runs loops around this and it's also running 10.1 not overclocked and it doesn't crash and hang all the time
I think with me being a noob at rooting I must have done something wrong when I rooted,

I'm experiencing approximately the same situation, the system is relatively slow and my browsers keep crazing (Firefox, chrome and Opera).
But I also have another problem : the keyboard layout sometimes doesn't appear when needed, is anyone having the same issue?

i have the 32gb hd+ and don't recall having those issues but i used CWM since that's what all the devs seem to prefer. Also , i switched to the tweaked xperia rom that was recently updated. i feeel like it's snappier and i like the tweaks he made to it.

I actually have two 16gb models one with CWM other has TWRP, both have the same issues, is the xperia rom a stock android-like or a Sony-like rom? Do you think it is stable enough for everyday use?

I did when I first installed CM, but haven't really noticed it as of recently, plus I use hackers keyboard from the play store, not sure if it was the stock keyboard or it just started working better over time (if that's possible :-\)

[Q] Firefox for Android keeps crashing?

Has anyone looked into why Firefox for Android keeps crashing on the Xperia V whenever a given page has one or more embedded videos or animations in it? I have three V's, all running the 9.2.A.2.5 firmware, and they all exhibit the problem, to the extent that caused me to stop using Firefox altogether, even on my Windows machines.

I have SG4 stock and since last update FF crashes within about 5 sec of loading a page (any page). Tried to download the beta and have the same problem. So, for now, stopped using ff altogether on the desktop and mobile... since I need the sync feature, I switched to chrome while waiting for this to be resolved.

Ditto. Alas, Mozilla and Firefox used to be so good...
I have tried to leave feed back on the android/google app store. But, f***ing google requires you to sign up for Google Plus account just too leave feed back (talk about trying to passive-aggressively force you into a service)... and I am absolutely refusing to sign up with that stupid service. So, for now can't leave any feed back for firefox or any other ****y/good app.

Update: uninstalling Adblock Plus somewhat helped, but I haven't tested FFfM long enough to be sure that ABP was the actual cause of the problem yet, mainly due to another annoying FFfM issue - flickering text. On any given page, the text blurs out for about one second at five-second intervals. I'm not sure if this is a problem specific to the Xperia V or is a general issue; I haven't tried FFfM on any other devices.

Web browsers crashing

Hi there.
Well I currently have the s6 edge from att. Android 5.0.2
I know there is a newer android version but it's not been released yet on att.
Well my problem is that my Web browsers keeps crashing. It's crashes when I open it. Kicking me back to where home screen. Then I haven to open it again and now it works.
But it's always the first time I open it after not using it when it crashes. Same for chrome and Firefox. Haven't tried other browsers yet.
Any fix?
I noticed that with chrome a few weeks ago..switched to chrome dev..seemed to be fixed. Then as of recent, that has been crashing too..idk what could be causing it. Low ram maybe?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using XDA Free mobile app
I am not sure. It may be the famous sucky ram management. I don't know if this is fixed with the update
Mine's done it pretty much from day 1. The browser is the only thing that does it though. Doesn't matter if I launch a link from Gmail, email, search, voice, whatever. It always closes as soon as the page opens the first time. After that it's fine. I took the recent OTA hoping there would be a fix, but there was no change.

Chrome crashing after upgrading to Android 11

This is the first time I've seen weird behaviour on Chrome and it started after installing Android 11. When I open Chrome it just closes right away. I need to open it about 10-20 times for it to finally stay open. I tried installing Chrome beta and it works better although sometimes it gives the same issue.
I tried clearing all the data in Chrome but didn't help. Wondering if anyone had this issue or has suggestions to fix.

Since chrome beta is a stand alone app and can be run beside chrome, it seems you have some kind of hard configuration error or corruption. I'm guessing you have already uninstalled/reinstalled the app. If you are unlocked I would try a dirty flash using the full image (not OTA). Next I would backup everything and wipe the phone, installing 11 fresh. Sometimes stuff happens and you just have to reinstall. Not a bad idea going from 10-11. In addition to chrome beta, I use Firefox beta because it supports extensions (eg. uBlock). If the thought of wiping your phone is too much work for this single issue, it may be time to try another browser. Best of luck and let us know how you get it resolved.
Turns out it was app list mode on edxposed that was causing the issue. After disabling it, it works normally again!
