For some reason every time I click onto my internet browsers on my HTC it just shows the loading screen and then closes, has anyoe had this problem or can anyone help me?
Thanks.
Had the same Problem:
-> Update your Browser
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=862062
Except from updating your browser, your browser files may be corrupted. I had once this issue when I accidentally deleted opera9 folder from my windows folder. It would show the HTC logo, but nothing else. Finally, I installed Opera Mobile 10, which lacks pinch-to-zoom feature.

When I try to download cabs or other files directly with Opera Mobile, and it seems especially when I'm changing the save location to my sd card instead of the internal memory "My Documents" default location, I really often get as a result corrupted files that have not the same size as the original files even if the opera download manager show the file green as successfully downloaded.
If I download the file again on the same location then eventually the file is ok.
If I download the files with another browser, or if I copy the file from my computer in SD card I have not the issue.
So I suppose this is a Opera Mobile bug ? Maybe in the save dialog window when changing the location to SD card some part of the file that was already downloaded on internal memory is lost ?
- Do you experience the same issue ?
- As a workaround, do you know a way to set a default download folder to the SD card ?
Thanks,
Nibbler.
it's opera, I have this bug on other phones.
Thank you for confirmation that it's opera related.
Can you also confirm it seems to happen when you change the location where you want to save the file ? Or does it also happens without changing the save location ?
Have you found a workaround ? It's really annoying not to be able to trust the downloaded files are ok and have to double check or re-download them again
I don't have a work around but this happened to me when saving to my phones built-in memory last night - but one I downloaded today worked perfectly. I guess the workaround would be "use PIE" but given that Opera runs so well on the Snapdragon processor (I hated it on my diamond, it was so slow and horrible to use) I don't want to leave it!
I've only ever had 1 file corrupted whilst downloading in Opera, but find it much more favourable to use than IE. IE seems to randomly rename files whilst downloading, giving them new file extensions so that you have to rename them manually (eg. cab files becoming tsk files!)
And incidentally...

It does sound like the bug is in Opera, but downloads are done to a temporary area, not your selected download location, and then copied to your selected location when complete. Just don't want you chasing something that's not there, as changing the location during download will have no effect.
I agree with you ... I don't want to leave Opera it is far better than PIE !
Yet it is quite unpleasant to have to switch between Opera and PIE for downloads just because of this bug !
Maybe if we are enough people to bash HTC / Opera support to release a fix we could get an upgrade

Definitely an Opera issue, and not a HTC issue, or it would happen in other apps too.
Have you tried Opera 10? I know it's not a solution, but I'm just curious to see if the problem exists in that version also.

Ok ... that was just an idea
Yet it definitely seems to happen often to me when I change location to sd card instead of letting the file download to its default internal memory location

Last time I tried it (it was beta 1 I think) it didn't had pinch to zoom, and the "text reflow" was awful without any way to configure it in opera:config "adaptative zoom" so I uninstalled waiting for a more mature release

Yeah, I totally agree. It was a step backward with the missing functionality.
I just wondered if you'd noticed this particular issue with it. Basically, if you approach Opera and tell them about an issue in 9.7 and their answer is "It's fixed in 10", you're stuck with it.
Also, worth mentioning, I always save to my storage card, so every single download I've ever done with Opera has had the location changed during download. Like I said, it's only happened to me once.
Strange
No I hadn't yet approached Opera / HTC ... was waiting for confirmation from our beloved XDA community first
And I continue to say Opera / HTC on purpose even if I know it is specifically an Opera bug ... because even if the developer is Opera, the specific installed pinch to zoom release is bought from Opera and sold to us by HTC.
So to avoid as you said to be stuck with a buggy 9.7 when the 10 will be fixed and mature enough I think we should send complaints to HTC to have a fixed pinch to zoom enabled 9.7 or a fixed pinch to zoom / text reflow enabled 10
Do you always save to storage card changing manually the location in save dialog ? Or have you found a trick to automatically set the SD card as the default download location ?

Oh I wish I'd found a way to default to a folder location of my choice, but no, I manually change it every time. I also have the issue where I have CoPilot on my SD card, and it was the 1st thing on there, so my folder list in the save as dialog is simply a list of CoPilot folders and subfolders. I always save to the root of the storage card as I don't really have any other sensible option.
Where there isn't simply a treeview I'll never know!
I unfortunately totally agree with you, I'm also p*ssed of by this folder list which also force me to save to SD root !
I'm just puzzled how nice a software as opera can also mix inside such pathetic issues
When I'll contact support I will also mention this one
Any update of the folder/subfolder download location listing?
Other browsers, Skyfire and IE don't have this issue so why can't Opera fix it? Like others have said you have little choice but to use the root of the storage card if you prefer external downloads. It is not even in full alphabetical order, seem to choose folder/subfolders at random!
everytime ihave opera 10 beta 3 running, and i scroll to the album tab in sense and try to open the album by clicking a picture it says "Unable to start this program because there is not enough free memory. please close some other programs and try again",
it only happens with opera 10 beta 3,
ie and opera 9.7 are fine
what could the issue be ?
im using duttys 0.8, 578mb ram, etc. and opera 10 beta v3 is install to the mem card,
its a fresh install of rom and hard reset done
any ideas?
ok ive figured this out,
basically i had cleared my htc album cache folder, and i hadnt loaded up the album prior to launching opera 10, i presume that htc album needs alot of memory for first time usage (since the cache is cleared)
well alls well that ends well
Hi,
I am having the exactly same problem. I too have Opera 10b3 installed and every time I have Opera open I can not open Album and sometimes I have problems starting camera with the same error about low memory. But if I close Opera then I can open albums again without problems...
Anyone else having the same issues?
I guess I just have to uninstall opera10b3...
Cheers
Jonas
my friend you have to make sure that you load the htc album first and leave it running in the background.. if you do this then opera 10 b3 will load fine.i think this is something todo with pagepool .
File Explorer is really slow when opening or scrolling folders which contains picture files? For other file types it works normally. This problem is not about ROM, becouse this is happening on second I tried in few last days. Maybe it's about HTC Album, becouse I set it for default app for opening pictures?
Thanks!
P.S. sorry for my english
Problem is solved.. It's becouse I changed default application for opening pictures with RESCO Explorer 2010. I noticed that it's a problem after changing default application for video files, and after that scrolling and opening that file types was also slow.
I fixed it with Hard Reset..
After updating my tablet to 3.1 OTA, the program Photo Browser 3D does not work anymore. Immediately after update or a factory restore, the program will work fine, but after adding all my photos to the tablet, the program will force close at EVERY start. Basically, it doesnt work at all now.
I have tried factory resetting 5 times now and the same problem happens every time!
Someone on a different forum recommended clearing the cache too, but the option is greyed out under Applications and it says that the cache is 0kb.
Can anyone help me with this issue? I was thinking that something was wrong with the apk, but I cant tell. I was thinking that I either need to reinstall the program using a new apk or that I need to flash the tablet with a fresh copy of 3.1. The firstoption would be easiest, but I cant find a copy of the apk. The second option I am scared to do. I dont know how to do it and I dont know which versions to get (I want to be sure I get one that works in the USA and that it isnt hacked, tweaked, or just a 3.0 version madeto look like 3.1).
If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it.
Acer Iconia A500 (rooted, but I didnt tamper with system files or apks)
Photo Browser 3D 1.0.00.027
Android 3.1 build 4.010.08_COM_GEN2
Android 3.1 kernel 2.6.36.3
After posting my last message here, my tablet told me I had an update available. UBFORTUNATELY, the stupid problem still exists. The only reason I am typing this folowup message is because the Android build changed.
NEW build: 4.010.10_COM_GEN2
NEW kernel: 2.6.36.3
Same Problem
I have the same problem with 3D Photo Browser.
I use Virtuous_Picasso_v.1.1.0.
Hey spexwood,
here you can give a try.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23326686/3DPhotoBrowser.apk
I tried the Photo Browser 3d above and I still have the same problem. Any got it to work?
I'm running the stock 3.1 and have no problem using it?
I got the app from the market if that helps.
3Dbrowser force close fixed.
Hi all,
I also had the force close problem with 3Dbrowser.apk. Clearing cache for the app did not work. Reinstalling the app by clicking the icon in the system app folder did not work.
Initially I froze the app, but then I tried the following and it worked:
1) download the full OTA package of the ROM version you're running
2) extract 3Dbrowser.apk
3) using root explorer, rename the original 3Dbrowser.apk in the system app folder to 3Dbrowser.bak or move it to the SD card.
4) copy paste the new apk into that folder.
5) change permissions to match the original permissions
6) reboot.
The original apk was 1,92Mb, the one I replaced was 1,93Mb.
I have about 5 folders with pictures (DCIM, Documents, Downloads, ...) they all work and the app is actually quite nice to show off the Iconia's capabilities.
Hope this helps.

After a LOT of experimenting and having thisprogram switch between working wonderfully and force closing upon launch, I have come to the conclusion that it is the pictures themselves!
So, the first thing you need to do is to check that none of your pictures (and/or movies) are not corrupted. I found that the best way to do this is to open the Gallery app and browse through all your files. Youcan use the view in which multiple files are displayed as thumbnails (as opposed to a single full sized picture view). If a file is corrupted, then it will not generate a thumbnail for it. Instead, the thumbnail will remain black and when you tap on it, a full size image will not appear. Instead, a message about the image not being able to be shown will be there.
If you find something corrupted, then delete it via the Gallery and try the 3d Browser again.
The second thing I noticed as of 5 minutes ago:
After a long time of no problems, the 3d Browser decided to stop working today, so I did what I just explained about searching for corrupted images... to my surprise, all of myimages were fine.
I once again opened the Gallery app and noticed something odd, but the only way I can explain it is through an example:
So, lets say you only have 3 folders of images: A, B, and DCIM. In Gallery, you will see these folders listed in a 3D-like affect. They will appear with the folder name under the thumbnail(s) followed by the number of pictures in parenthesis (such as "A (10)").
Of all the folder thumbnails, you will see one that contains no name, but only a number within parenthesis. When I entered this album, I noticed some odd stuff. First, it contained a mix of black-only thumbnails (corrupted files) and images I recognized from my collection. Second, if you look at the details of ANY of the files in this gallery, they have no location, no height, and no width. Hesitantly, I decided to delete everything from this gallery (held my finger over the folder in Gallery and once it highlighted green, I tapped the trashcan icon). It didn't affect any of my pictures and the 3d Browser began working immediately!
I guess this collection was some sort of thumbnail collection or something. For whatever reason, it just accumulates waste over time and if an image no longer exists on the tablet, then the thumbnail appears as a corrupted file, which freaks the 3d Browser out.
I'm sorry if all that was a lot to read and absorb, but I think that doing one of these two things is the solution to this annoying issue.
(Post here if you have questions about anything I just said)

Hmm... that's basically what I did isnt it?
OK, so someone found a solution then. Awesome!
Too bad I didnt know before wasting months trying to figure this issue out =_=
I thought it was the apk, but after replacing it from several sources, it fixed nothing. Then, I installed a custom rom, which also didnt fix it. It wasnt until last night that I FINALLY got it working right.
Oh well. Problem solved XD
Thanks
Every time I restart the phone after I have changed the battery. Various programs that want to open the link like Facebook or a link from a forum etc I use dolphin browser and it keeps loosing it's default which I always set.
Has anyone else come across this?
Sorted I think. I have to keep dolphin in the main memory rather than sd card
