Just got Note - problem with browser tabs

So I just got the Note recently and so far I'm liking it (came from Iphone 4).... BUT, 1 thing that has GOT TO CHANGE!!! Is..... when I open stock browser and open tabs, if I close the browser and then go back to it my tabs are all gone!!! And it just shows home page...
Has anyone figured this out?? I haven't installed any task manager stuff. I need to get this fixed though. Is there a fix for this?
I've tried searching this forum and google but don't see much info. Most of the stuff I see says to uninstall task killers, but I didn't install anything just stock task manager for the Note.
I've tried different browsers also but none of them really seem to keep the tabs open, it is very annoying
Any ideas?

bump for friday!!!

This is more of a workaround.
Instead of exiting the browser with the back button, press the home button. When you go back to the browser (by long pressing the home button to access the running tasks) the tabs should still be there.
Probably best to have put this in the Q&A section

Thanks for the reply!! But this is what I'm doing... even that doesn't work. In fact, I don't use the back button too much, I mostly use the home button...
There is no fix for this? Can someone tell me the cause of it? Is it something to do with a Samsung task manager? Is there a new task manager I can install or seomthing I can tweak in the OS? Perhaps seomething in the browser config or task manager config?

I don't have this problem... especially with Dolphin Browser. Those bloody tabs persist after reboots. It is a pain in the arse to get rid of them, you have to kill them manually.

Any body else know a fix??
Maybe I'll try firefox see how that works. I did d/l dolphin but haven't tried yet

You can install ZDbox, it is an app that was developed by an Xda member. It has a task killer incorporated within the app where you can put the browser in the protected apps by long pressing and adding it. After you do this, the app will not be closed if you kill all other apps.
Let me know if it resolves the issue. (it is available for free in the market)

Why are you using stock browser anyway . It's crap . I never managed to download anything with it . And after " download " it can't parse it . Use OPERA MOBILE . ( NOT mini ) . You'll thank me later

Ok I tried ZDbox, however the browser doesnt even show up in the process list of ZDbox lol... It shows up in my task manager, but not in ZDbox.
I will just use a different browser... I see so many browsers, which is best? How does Opera compare with Firefox? I kinda like Maxthon also, but it isn't saving my tabs either

Download Opera. It's the fastest browser, as it uses hardware acceleration.

Its not witht stock browser. If you are opening too many apps and then press Home key, the Android system will put the browser to sleep but it keeps it in memory. If you launch another app at this point which asks for more RAM than there is available, Android will start exiting the apps that are residing in the memory. When that happens, the browser could also be force closed by the system. Dunno how to fix that since I am not a dev.
If you use other browsers, you wont have the GPU acceleration and hence smoothness, in my opinion.
Just my 2 cents.

The two of you should talk: his tabs don't stay and yours are hurting your ass

So how is everyone with the Note fixing or getting around this? I'm trying Opera now...

Well, after using the Opera browser... i gotta say I like it. EXCEPT it doesn't remember my tabs either!! It seems like none of the browsers are working right with tabs... unless i'm doing soemething wrong? Is there any way to remember tabs in opera mobile?

When I press the back button on Dolphin it ask if I want to close the browser or minimize it.

What would be nice is.... like Safari on iphone... if you kill it, it still opens up with all your tabs... or a desktop firefox, it always allows you to restore your previous session/tabs...
I HAVE to keep tabs open, instead of re-opening 5 pages/tabs evertime the browser just feels like forgetting them

Anybody know about the great Note browser mystery??

How long after you press home are you checking, if you leave it in sleep mode for some time, android will kill the high power consuming processes and that is why your tabs are not getting stored...
I think what you want is a browser which remembers your previous tabs and reload all of them whenever you open a browser.. i dont think stock or dolphin or opera has such an option, did you try the mobile version of firefox.. maybe it remebers tabs...
And to those people this is not about multitasking... it is just that he wants the browser to remember his tabs so that it can reload itself everytime a new instance opens...

YES!! thank you..thats exactly right! i've tried so many browsers so far and have yet to find one that does!! It seems so weird to me that none of these browsers have a session restore or tab restore option. let me try firefox... i haven't really tried it yet. BUT i just read firefox for andoird DOES have hardware acceleration... I'M ON IT! will report back

After using FF for a bit...I can report it is the same as other browsers There is no session restore and it closes my tabs also. When I launch it, it shows me my "previously closed tabs" but it won't let me restore them all......I have to click on each one to restore
So this is still a aproblem

[Q] Unable to Attach Google Photos in Google Messenger

VZW Nexus 6, unlocked, unencrypted, stock rooted 5.1.1 with Wugfresh's NRT. Access point is LTE - Verizon Internet VZWINTERNET. I have AdAway installed, but have had it disabled in order to troubleshoot. I don't use the MOAB host but I whitelisted mms.vtext.com just to be safe. Also tried a couple of different access points to no avail.
While in Messenger if I tap the paperclip to add an attachment, all options except Google Photos work. When I try to attach a photo from Google Photos, the displayed thumbnail is blank and the spinning search indicator goes on indefinitely. If instead I open Google Photos, select a photo to share via Messenger, it works fine.
One other piece of info. After I get tired of watching Messenger endlessly search for a Google photo, I back out, clear recents and go into Google Photos to send that way, but my attempt to attach from Messenger corrupts something in Google Photos, so I have to force stop it to get it to function normally.
I've force stopped, cleared cache and data for both Messenger and Google Photos multiple times, but nothing seems to work.
The only thing that does work is reverting to the factory install of Messenger. If I do that, everything works as it should.
Anybody have this problem?
Thanks.

Try a file explorer (ES is my choice) and click the share button. There should be an option to share it via Google Messenger. That should insert it into the convo. Also make sure your SMS/MMS settings are correct along with the APN. If none of this works, try uninstalling/reinstalling Messenger, and then clearing the cache/dalvik, and try again. Hope this helps.

As stated, all of the options (to include my file explorer--root explorer), recents, dropbox, etc. do work. It's Google Photos that's not working properly. Also keep in mind, that the option to use Google Photos allows me to attach photos from the cloud, which is what I'm unable to do...so a file explorer is not optimal in this case.
SMS/MMS settings have been checked, and as I also stated, I'm using Verizon's preferred APN, but I have also tried others without success.
Although I didn't mention above, is that I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Google Photos and Messenger without success. The only thing that did work was reverting to the factory install of Messenger, but that's not optimal.
Clearing cache and Dalvik is useful so I'll give that a try, but I'm not hopeful.
Are you, or anyone else able to duplicate this problem without reverting to the factory install of Messenger? Thanks.

I had that problem. I never ran completely stock & rooted from the box. But I had similar problems with the stock sms/mms app using custom roms. I finally installed Textra on the advice of others & since then have never experienced a problem, so I never looked back. But others told me it was the stock app which is at fault. Why it works for most & not for some - I got no idea. I also consider Textra to be a step up in many areas vs stock. I use Titanium Backup & freeze the stock app also.

Same problem here with Google Photos but using Themed version of Messenger. Appears to be something related to Google signature key and not able to access Google servers..

Anyone ever get this resolved? I'm experiencing the same. Running Nexus 5 stock, unrooted.

Still not working for me even after updating the factory image to account for Stagefright. During the update I took the opportunity while unrooted to try again (this was after a factory reset)....didn't work. Then rerooted and tried again...still a nogo. Same symptoms as my OP. Here are a couple of shots:

Are you on Verizon?

I just tried switching over to Hangouts...same problem....something's amiss.

AT&T. Everything seemed to work up until a few days ago. Maybe the stagefright update was the cause.

I had it before and after the Stagefright update

Do you have two stage auth enabled with Google authenticator method? Trying to trace back things that changed recently.

Yes I do use 2 step authentication with google.

One more point. I just watched a Galaxy S6 exhibit the same problem. Something must be up on Google's end.

Chrome crashing when I select share...?

Hi, not sure if I've debloated something that Chrome needs but browsing is fine, but when I try share a webpage Chrome crashes everytime any site if I try share... any ideas? thanks

If I install a different browser the share option works fine, but not in Chrome, seems there is some dependency app or something that chrome needs to link with the sharing function...? dunno. Unless there is just a bug in Chrome?

Needs Huawei Share...

Thanks yes it was the 2 Huawei share apps.

Have you tried Samsung internet browser? I have to say it's stellar, dark mode throughout, ad blocking, rapid with no overheads.
Truly the best browser I've ever used on Android
No bookmarks sync so that's the downside.
Chrome can still be used but the comparison is night and day.
The data harvesting that Chrome takes is truly horrific. They want everything.
Google have gone too far.
Ps: in regards to sharing, if you're using an ad blocker then that can cause havoc.
Turn it off and retry.
Or go incognito and retry. Incognito will mimic a perfectly blame browser.

Was my own fault, had deleted the Huawei share all which is needed to share, so reinstalled using adb and all sorted out, thanks.

Question [SOLVED] Google Account Syncing not working using Mobile Data

Hey folks,
just got my X60 Pro+ from china. This is a really nice device, really like it so far.
But I'm having trouble when setting up my Google Account, I can't seem to sync them using mobile data. Turning my WiFi on, it syncs my EMails automatically and so on. I really searched the entire Settings library and this weird iManager app, but I can't find any Data restrictions whatsoever. It doesn't even let me sync it manually in the "Accounts and Syncronisation" settings menu, only with my WiFi.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I really searched everything and everywhere.
Greetings
Update 23.04.2021 : Vivo has fixed the Sync issue with an Update. Updating Google Webview and other Google Apps is also helpful, if the problem might still exist.

I do believe it's related to the Vivo.com app, you need to use script in order to remove it
I had X50 Pro Plus and faced the same issue.
Uninstall System Apps on Vivo without Root

Thanks. Just removed a couple of Apps, also your named Vivo.com App, but it unfortunately didn't fix my issue.

It's com.vivo.pem to uninstall on x50 pro plus forum. There are positive feedback about it. Not in my case

Yeah right, I also did that but no success. I've sent an EMail to Vivo Support, lets See.
My guess is, there is the "WiFi Only" toggle switch "missing" in the "Account & Sync" Settings tab.

Hello, It has been one day I'm fighting with my X60 pro plus : I can have my mail on outlook, but they are not syncing correctly. I think it can be the same issue as this thread.
I'll update here If I find a solution. Thank you.

Try to do a network data reset. I made it from the settings and notifications push seems to work now
Edit: after a while not working again

Hi! Did it work for you? Did you activate autostart apps too? Thanks

My Spotify also says that I'm offline (with 4g). I have chinese version. Smth tells me same problem involved. Also Chrome has "no internet connection" at the top of the screen, but still loads webpages

Download Chrome from Vivo Appstore and dont Update it then from the play store. Maybe it works for Spotify too, I dont use it.

Any chance I can use Chrome as default? I hate this chinese default browser, opening all links. And thanks for the solution, I'll try that

Settings > Applications and Permissions > Permissions Management > switch to Permissions Tab in the top right and then scroll all the way down to "Default App Settings"
There you go.

I'm sorry for you but I'm happy to read this. I have x60 pro China and by last Saturday, 10th April, with a new spotify update it doesn't work anymore with 4g, instead works well with wlan network. Have you solve it? Now I try to look for it in vivo store.

hello, this problem might becaused by the default dns server from China,please use dns changer app to fix this problem.

using dns changer to change dns to google dns will solve this problem

It worked, yes! But having an extra App for this is kinda weird. I hope there will be a permanent solution for this.

Auto-Answer :
I finaly get it working, but I don't know exactly how because I did a lot of action :
- uninstalled vivo apps via dev usb
- granted all permission possible to Outlook
- disabled smart notification
- changed the default system sound
- updated everything I found.
I don't know what was the problem, because it was really not syncing : mails was appearing only when opening the apps and waited for few sec to sync.
Hope it helps.

Any instructions on that?

Hey,
I own the x60 pro (chinese version), I live in France I have exctly the same problem as Eric-mod.
I didn't uninstall any apps but I changed my dns (google ones) with an app thanks to caeanlin it works !
it's been several weeks i'm in contact with vivo france because this is a whole syncing problem, concerning also emails (when i want to add some documents), and especially navigators and spotify (spotify still not working, even with the dns)
so the guy from vivo france took all my info and i send him this page that he transfered to vivo global (or china)
he said the guys will react quickly about this

Question Can't use google maps app without login anymore?

I'm not sure if this changed with the Android 12 update or if I missed it happening before. Suddenly, the maps app is logged in and I cannot find any option to logout / use without an account. The normal account management does not seem to show any options to control which apps can use which accounts either. I see the "incognito" mode but I really want to force it to logout, like I would with Chrome. I don't want it to easily revert if I am letting someone use the maps app briefly.

i noticed that if i go to settings and scroll to bottom it has
sign out of maps.

Gmaps has been a mess for years. I never update them from the factory load on my N10+, same for Gmail.
Android 11/12... yeah they broke those too, bad.
Best thing to do is not let others use your phone.
It will save you grief in the long run... or share everything.

Thanks, I found that logout option after disabling incognito mode again. But, it looks like it is just as easy to log back in as to disable incognito with a couple clicks. So I also see the point that it's really not setup for easy sharing/lending...
