Web browsers crashing - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6

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?

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.

Facebook App Not Updating

Anyone else notice that the Facebook app is showing an update, but the update isn't found in the Market?
Yeah noticed it today.
I got the update notice on my Gtab and just updated via the Market.
On that same note though.....when I turned my Gtablet on this morning and went to the Market I had the "accept" or "decline" screen pop up. I lost seeing a few apps as well. I had to re-do the Market fix and then I saw the Facebook update and updated mine.
On another note, using the Titanium market fix method......Market had an "updated" note beside since the last time I had run Titanium Backup.
I'm curious, what does the Facebook app give you that accessing Facebook in a web browser cannot?
Much faster access. I usually just want to see what a few friends have posted, check birthday notices or post a status message. Its much faster via the app.

[Q] "Unfortunately, Google Play Music has stopped."

After updating to the newest stock firmware (xxx.10), and after updating to the new Google Play Music (Post-Google I/O), Google Play Music will only open for a few seconds before crashing and presenting me with the message I posted in the title. This message appears several more times after crashing.
Here's what I've done so far in an attempt to fix it (not necessarily in this order):
Delete Cache.
Delete Defaults.
Force Stop.
Uninstall and pre-installed app.
Restart (multiple times).
Power off and on (multiple times).
This phone has always been stock, and I'm not using any skins. I've downloaded very few apps, which have all been run of the mill. I did download Google Wallet, but I would hope that's not the conflict. It worked perfectly before the firmware update, and only the updated Play Music crashes.
Is anyone having a similar issue? Up til now I've only used HTC 's player, but I want to try the free month of music streaming. Any advice is appreciated, and thanks in advance!
It's working fine for me on the HTC update and google music update. I do get an occasional error you reported but it's rare. I might be completely taking a shot in the dark but try activating your trial on the web browser first. If that doesn't help, try removing and adding your Google account again to your phone. I vaguely remember having a problem activating the trial on my phone. But I didn't put much effort into it.

I have this issue when I am in less than ideal network conditions.. Or when switching from 4G to 3G sometimes. At home on Wifi is flawless.

I had the issue. I didn't feel like dealing with it so I uninstalled the update. Not really wanting to pay $10 a month anyways. You can look through the reviews to, there are several people having the same issues.
I too have this issue. I thought I had it solved because I hadn't had the error for a couple of hours after resetting some things, but now it's happening again and I haven't installed or done a thing.
It's a shame. The sound quality is far superior than other streaming apps I've used.

Default Email Application Crashing

So I rooted my phone and frooze a couple of the bloat apps but nothing crazy, mostly the ATT apps. Now my default email application crashes whenever i click it then when i reopen it it works fine.
Can't seem to figure out whats wrong with it. When it freezes it locked up my phone pretty bad and sometimes touchwiz goes down with it, it freezes for a good 3 minutes. So it's pretty inconvienent.
Anyone else come across this?

There are 3 or 4 posts on this.
You have to unfreeze my magazine. Freezing/deleting causes the email force closes.

Anyone have any ideas?

Chrome Crashing

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

Multi window apps not working properly

Ok now I've never had issues using multi window with my slingbox app but I cannot get it to work properly! I used to always watch the game on slingbox app and look at my fantasy team without issues.... Now when I interact with second app other than slingbox app it stops and goes to connect screen! This also happens while I search for opponent in my clash of clans game! It always worked before but same thing if I interact with second app it resets the game! This is frustrating the f out me so if anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated!

By the way it's not just my Note 8 my nephews does same thing.... His is Verizon and mine is at&t variant! I'm really hoping it's a setting I'm missing.... I've tried a few things in developer options and nothing!

I also have this issue. I'm on Verizon. I used to be able to play nfl mobile and waze at the same time on my note 5 but the nflmobile will stop if I touch anything on the waze app. Same thing applies with nfl mobile and any football fantasy app (nfl, espn). Would be a shame for such a powerhouse of phone to now be limited.

I'm currently having the same issues. Would be nice to know if its just on some device or every device. Do you have a different launcher installed other than the native Samsung? I currently have Nova Launcher installed, not sure if that is the problem but if I remeber correctly when I first obtained my Note 8 I didn't have this issue. I just realized it recently, not sure if its because of the Update or the Launcher.
I was running the stock Samsung experience and had the same issue. I can't say if it did prior to the update though.

Same issues unlocked N8. If i open a game (Dominations) and Notes...the game turns all pink and it times out.
@On another topic - does anyone know if we can work 2 apps in landscape? I'm quite surpised that the note with its unusual long shape cant do multi window on landscape

I am also running Nova launcher but apparently that's not the issue! I have a feeling that the issue started when Android went to native multi window so its an Android issue! Apperently when Samsung provided the os with multi window everything worked! I could be wrong but it makes sense and I believe multi window came on nougat but it's just a hunch. Regardless it's really annoying and I hope someone knows about it and is working to resolve the issue!

I was thinking the same thing, but then was wondering why I can't find anything on the web regarding this problem. As if it doesn't bother anyone else or it might just be my device that is having this issue.
Yeah did a search before even posting a question and came upon this thread. I guess only a few care about this lol. Hopefully a solution does comeby :/

I have been running Waze and another traffic app next to each other in multi window mode (portrait and landscape mode works). Initially it was working more or less fine. It does happen that if the traffic app is the active screen, Waze would not show any updates on the map. Waze does show updates on directions as text on top of the screen. However after the last November update, only the active screen is working and the other screen does not update. I noticed if you have two apps that plays media, it cannot be played simultaneously. Using Whatsapp and something like Youtube doesn't freeze the media playing.
Anybody found the solution yet?
