After updating, I uninstalled Dolphin, since I never use it and really never cared for it much. After doing so, the next time I went in my stock browser I noticed that MT no longer worked. My first thought was the dolphin uninstall, so I reinstalled dolphin, and MT is back and working on my stock browser. Can anyone else confirm this? I assume dolphin installs the same files that google did to enable multitouch, and dolphin removes them during uninstall. I am wondering if I can remove dolphin and then reapply the update to get things straight. Not a big deal to leave dolphin, I just don't like things in a "sloppy" state.
I uninstalled again, and it seems to be resolved, don't know what happened the first time around.
i used titanium backup to restore all my apps after i updated.... dolphin was one of them. i didn't need it anymore either so i uninstalled it but i still have MT in the stock browser...

Both the stock browser as well as Dolphin HD have been crashing on me since the recent adobe 10.2 update. Stock 6 times last night, made me purchase Dolphin from a few recommendations. Then Dolphin started crashing, a total of 3 times before I gave up and went to my pc.
This morning both have crashed a few times already.
Anyone else experiencing this? Recommendations?
when flash was installing it probably farqued something up. Uninstall/reinstall it like any other app in the market.

That was one of the first things I did this morning. Luckily both browsers have only crashed once or twice today.
May have to be something to live with until the next update or the next android os.
Running tasks v5 rom, much better than before, but still get a lot of freezes (forcing a hard reset by me) or force closes where the browser disappears. Nyone else getting these yet?
No browser freeze on mine.
I have problem accessing seekingalpha.com. Browser (stock) wouldn't load content and than just chrashes. It happens everytime, with no exeptions. Could someone try to open it and let me know what happens?

Quits for me too. Even after clearing browser cache

I'm not web expert, so I don't know what's going on with this site, or in what "technology" is it written. But, they have changed site recently, and since than it started to be extremely slow on my HTC Desire (Gingerbread), like beating the hell out of the processor. And now I found out that crashes Honeycomb browser.
Is there any way to contact Google to point them to this problem? I couldn't find it...
Opera or Dolphin can open it. But also, there are some rendering problems in Dolphin with left column (adds and some links on the top). It's dynamic (moving with you as you scroll the page), so that could be source of the problem.
I haven't had a problem with this site really, mostly when the keyboard is up (using Swiftkey) or quickly scrolling. Also other things like samsung email app and a few games seem to cause problems.
All seems very random and infrequent, can't find a pattern to them yet.
Just got my first browser FC today, happened twice when trying to add a bookmark
could this be a hardware problem? The tab freezes several times a day, usually on the browser (use that the most too), also in exchange email app and various games. It's driving me nuts. Tried every rom out there as well as stock and pershoots kernel.
Anyone have any ideas? It's driving me crazy and I'm curious if I could have a serious problem or if it's something the right update could fix.
I use Dolphin for Pad browser (not Dolphin mini or HD). Never had a FC.
tried dolphin. No difference.
have u tried the v6.1, got some (few) lags on v5 but v6.1 is smooth (for me) now
Yes, I've tried 5,6, 6.1,overcome, starburst. Makes no difference.
In Dolphin use the desktop agent instead of Android. It' their mobile site that causes the problem. If your rooted you should be able to set the stock browser to desktop also.
Running stock rooted. Random crashes and fullscreen flash video does not work. Anyone else?

yes. it sucks since I updated. rooted w/ unlocked bootloader/custom kernal running civato's flexreaper. Doubt it is a problem with the rom but probably due to problems with the app and compatibility with ICS. Used to be my go browser (still is on my phone) but not any more for my tablet. I have problems with them all really (no flash in chrome) and random crashes throughout all. For me browser+ seems the most stable.
Same problems with Dolphin for Pad, when I installed ICS (first FlexReaper, now TO ICS), so I changed to Dolphin Browser HD, which is very stable. Only issues I am experienceing are FCs when playing flash in full screen. This is not occuring with Opera Mobile.
With best regards, maris
try Opera its alot better anyway!
It hasn't been updated in almost a year, so not surprising. Dolphin HD works as does Opera.
Not sure if same on the 500, but the only browser that sees the 510 correctly as a desktop device is Opera.
I prefer Dolphin, but same as the others, regardless of UA seeing used.
The only other device I had that did this was the DX2.
Have resolved some issues but uninstalling and reinstalling flash. More stable in normal view, but still no fullscreen. Also switched to ICS+ browser. Not perfect but better.

So far, browsers have been the ONLY issue I've had with ICS. All of them. We're talking Chrome Beta, the generic stock browser, Dolphin HD, and Firefox. Deciding that it can't be every browser, I uninstalled/reinstalled Flash, no better. Did a hard reset, reinstalled everything, and running smooth as silk.
I'm on the stock browser and have few if any issues with it. I did experience the same on Dolphin both HD and for Tablet...but as another poster stated, I still have it as default on my phone. If anyone finds a better recommendation from what's been listed as I'm not a big Opera fan either let me know, but stock is rock solid for me thus far. (FlexReaper Extreme)...
Good luck,

About the same here : every web browser just seemed to be faulty. Actually it worked, but every once in a while it got stuck and freezed for several seconds and then a message popped up saying the application didn't respond any more. All I had to do was to choose "wait" instead of "close" and right after it worked perfectly (until the next time). But that was VERY annoying.
I did a hard reset and so far everything seems to work perfectly, it's even faster than before and no more freezes.
I have been using Maxthon Mobile Browser on my rooted 510 for several weeks with no issues.
I think this deserves a thread. as the title states if you were to go to YouTube full site and try to play a video as soon as its about to play the advert it crashes causing the browser to become unresposive to touch.
does not matter which browser you use it has same effect.
other sites tested are ustream and Justin TV. various flash sites used to watch football also have the same problem although sometimes after deleting cache on opera in app manager I can get football to run.
I'm pretty sure 3.2.1 did not have these issues.
if this a Acer problem. will they fix this? I also think it could be a flash player problem with our tablets which could be fixed in a update from them.
I'm on a custom rom but I'm just off to test on my girlfriends tab which is stock....brb
OK I'm back. exactly the same tried to play a video on YouTube and as it about to play it froze the browser and the video.
3.2.1 looks so appealing right now. anyway people who say there browsers don't freeze obviously don't use many flash sites.
if anyone knows any settings that may help in the about:config department of opera please let me no otherwise I'd love to find anyone with a workaround.....
I am having this problem as well with dolphin, chrome and stock browser when ever I try to go to full screen. However last night I downloaded browser + (basically an enhanced stock browser) and it worked fine all night long. I played about 3 consecutive hours of full screen flash videos and didn't have one browser crash. Not sure what the problem with the other browsers is.

thanks, might give that a try then.
im sure it will be ironed out sooner or later..
anyone know if theres away to log the crashes?
EDIT: Indeed you are correct. broswer+ does not crash on justin.tv....
Any tips on forcing it to use youtube full site as no matter what i try (even ticking box) it forces back to the mobile site.
Cheers for the tip mate it will certainly make ICS a whole lot better to use at the minute
EDIT 2: you just made my morning looks like browser+ is the way to go. ustream works perfectly too.
just like to add a further note that BOAT browser works great and does not freeze when using any of the sites i have listed. so thats browser+ and BOAT that work ok with flash
I also should now add I'm on a custom 4.0.4 android and flash with opera works great. Even full screen on full YouTube.
Very strange but I'm not complaining now.

i'll give opera a shot as well
Same issues
Two of the most irritating problems I had with HC was:
1. ALL web browsers would randomly crash--> auto shut downs that wiped all temp and open files in the browser. Stock browser was the worst, followed up by Opera, Dolphin, Mirix browser, and a couple other nobody apps. None worked flawlessly. This is enraging when you are typing an email and it dies, you lose all your work!!!
2. My bluetooth Motorola keyboard would stutter and die. Keys would stick, etc. Another maddening problem.
The ICS OTA I received did not rectify these two critical issues for me either. Hence why I invested time and energy into learning how to unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM.
Those two problems that were unresolvable were deal breakers for me running anything from Acer.
I routinely sent alogcat files to Dolphin techie team. They were not able to deduce why their browser would auto-die during session. But hey, at least the Dolphin team responded and tried.
Opera support is miserable. I sent them what they wanted: their advice? Uninistall Opera and re-install. I did. Four times. Still problem persisted.
I would get SoD's on HC and my tablet was unrooted and unmodded at the time.
I would get SoD's infrequently on stock ICS, but enough it made me move to another ROM.
So to answer your question: Your device is not alone with these problems. Seems it is something in Acer's ROM's that do this. Some bug they dont bother to fix. And I assume it is in the stock ROM's, because I did factory recovery and factory wipes too, and it did not repair this bug with auto-die browsers and spotty bluetooth connectivity.
My solution?
Go custom ROM. Flash an unlocked bootloader, install the latest greatest flavor you take fancy to, install either the Lightspeed 4.5 (i think they are up to 4.7 now...), Flexreaper RC1_v3, or that Thor ROM. All are good, I'm partial to Flexreaper cuz it has that totally customizable Acer Ring.
All those ROM's out of the gate are faster and have more clever apps in them than Acer-junk.
Juss sayin.

Hi all,
I did a search and could not find anything about what I have happening on my phone.
Last night my sdcard decided to die , Dolphin browser was installed on it and I used Titanium to freeze the original browser, so in practice I have no browser installed.
While I was reformatting my sdcard on the laptop, I opened gmail on the cell and I touched an image that has a link; and I got a webpage displayed (!?)... There is no URL field, if I bring up the menu, it is the gmail menu not a browser's menu...
I guess gmail uses the bits from the original browser?
I just thought I'd share it in case anyone else has seen this.
Cheers
if your saying you need to run a browser on your phone. You could look in /system/app. As you said you could still have the original browser there.
What I mean is that there's no browser available right, yet gmail opens a link to a webpage; hence, I assume it uses the bits of the browser in system/app even though Titanium froze it... I guess

So unfreeze the stock browser.
I think I am not being clear.
I have no problem in unfreezing the browser, or reinstall Dolphin, or restore a nandroid or anything like that.
It just struck me as weird that I could see a webpage when seemingly there is no browser available, that's all.
Cheers
