Is anyone else having the browser crashing while browsing. Nothing repeatable but from time to time it crashes and just dumps you back to the desktop, no warning or error message.
That has not happened to me, but I have noticed that at times, the browser is just super slow. Pages won't load, etc. It's not my connection, YouTue loads fine, and so does Doplhin Browser.
This has been happening to me as well, not only the browser though other apps as well. I would go as far as to say every app I have used has crashed on me a minimum of twice yes EVERY app I have used. I just received my gt10.1 today so it might just be stretching pains.

I have the same issue. Like you said, nothing repeatable, almost kind of random, but it closes down completely... this has also happened in other apps, in addition to multiple force closes in apps.
Yep..I noticed it FC's on me mostly when I'm forums..never other sites.
On my 10.1v the browser is crashing at every start so i cant use the stock browser. Other apps crashing to. Yesterday the gfx at my live wallpaper was overwritten by an other programm or task. I think there are a lot of bugs in honeycomb but this can also be an hardware problem. Anyone here without problems/crashes on 3.0?

Yep. mine crashed three times trying to view one particular website. I finally gave up.
Some apps crashing too, and the Yahoo mail app is LAME. My phone does a better job than the 10.1 displaying Yahoo mail. Tab forces you to open any email containing HTML in the browser. LAME.
I see what people mean when they say Honeycomb is not ready for prime time.

using my 10.1v for about a month now, i've never had such serious problems. just 3 or 4 fc, different apps, not repeatable.
go into setting, applications and clear the data from your stock browser. then you might be able to use it again.

Thanks, clearing the browsers data and cache works fine...
me too
I have the same issue. Glad to see its not just me. It just dumps and goes to the desktop. I just got this today and not too excited about the browser failing right out of the bo
Stock browser crashes on me too. It will randomly freeze when accessing web pages and then home and back button does not work. I have to hit them multiple times before it goes back home and sometimes the only way to fix it is by rebooting the device.
Anyone had the same freezing experience?

I've had this happen a few times. Try force stopping the app and clearing data like mentioned in a previous post. I had this happen in the YouTube app as well while trying to search for a video. It wouldn't return any results and crash until I force stopped the app in settings. Once I did that I was able to re open the YouTube app and find the video with no problem.

My brower crashes often when browsing forums.clubsi.com
It seems some sites make the browser crash
Im having the same issues. I was using dolphin browser HD and the stock browser. This error seems to occur in both.. for me it seems like it was more video/flash sites.
Yes, stock browser crashes, but crashes less than 3rd party browsers which is why I've stuck with it so far.
I too am having this problem. As far as I can tell it has happened mostly if not always on forum sits for me as well. I am subscribing to this thread hoping someone will figure out what is happening and help us fix it.
Oh, I just tried force stopping the browser and clearing data. Within five minutes it crashed again.
me too... once crashed, i reboot device. i find that whenever i change the viewing mode from mobile to desktop while browsing gmail, my browser crashes. and of coz some other sites too
anyone?
Yup, mine crashes on sites that have a lot of newer HTML5 ads or complex javascript. I have flash turned to OnDemand so it shouldn't be causing any browser FC's. I also see crashes on sites that have a lot of images on them which has led me to thing it's crashing due to memory issues.
yeah me to. crashes on certain websites. techradar is one it allways crashes on. im pretty disgusted that they`ve let this bug make it to the retail version, this and the high pitch noise issue really get my back up!!
sort it out samsung ffs
Same here. One way that is repeatable on my end is when following a link to track a UPS shipment. I try to open the link from my email to the lenovo site, and it never makes it - drops to desktop every time. However, I've also had random crashes while trying to load flash, simply browsing, etc.
HC definitely needs some more spit and polish, but so far I'm liking it. Also, the Opera Mobile Browser, atm, is the best one that I've tried, among stock, Miren, and Dolphin HD. However, they all have occasional crashes.
On Tiamat 2.1.0. I was happily using Dolphin Browser HD 6.2.0 until around 2 days ago, when it suddenly stopped connecting. It wouldn't connect to any domain anymore (stock browser works just fine).
So I uninstalled it with the intention of downloading + reinstalling it from the market. Guess what, it's not even showing up in the market! I guess either the makers of Dolphin or Google are hiding it for Honeycomb.
What I did find was Dolphin Mini though, for some reason, so I decided to give it a shot instead. Well, it has the ssame problem Dolphin HD had: it won't connect at all.
I'm stumped at this mess. I tried to find a Dolphin HD apk but didn't want to download just any mysterious file from anywhere. But above all, I have no idea why Dolphin (both HD and Mini) would stop working all of a sudden.
The only change I can remember doing before it stopped working was to update a few apps, including the Opera browser. I don't see how that would affect Dolphin though.
Any ideas, anyone?

Works fine for me. Just go to their website. They have a new beta version of the HD browser.
After flash to ICS, the stock browser quits suddenly and frequently. Do you notice that?
I am trying the dolphin now.
Same thing started occure right after flash update. It happens to me when I browse a page with lot of flash. Even I like the stock browser very much, especialli the new shortcuts but for stable browsing I had to switch to Chrome beta (no flash support) or Dolphin.

I don't use that browser but last time I ran a logcat on it I got errors with the Java activity being destroyed as the logcat stated. I believe it is flash related.
Try uninstalling Flash, use the browser normally. See if it crashes. If it doesn't, install flash again. That will at least prove to you that flash is the culprit.
Add me to the list of browser crashing and closing... Getting annoyed by that and the random reboots that get stuck at Asus loading screen

Happened to me once, so far, but my TF101 has only had light use since the ICS update. This never happened with HC.
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.
