[Q] how many browser crashes do you get a day? - Acer Iconia A500

Howdy folks,
I've been running custom roms since I first got my iconia. Though I went thru a brief period of over clocking I am now running a stock-based rom.
Browser crashes every once in a while have almost become a fact of life but I am curious, are they also for you? How often do you experience one?
I am currently on FLEXREAPER RF1. In 3 hours I've crashed opera twice (once with flash) and the stock browser ounce.
In a typical day, perhaps 2-3x on stock browser is the norm for me.
I look forward to finding out if my iconia is messed up or if this is normal. Thanks for your input!

Define "crash". Getting Force Close errors? General Protection Fault? Or just the browser closes without warning?
I might get browser close a couple of times a day. No big deal. I get it on my pc also.

Browser crash ALOT for me usually becoming unresponsive while playing or using flash content.
Opera, stock, dolphin all the same.
chrome not so much but then again it doesnt play flash so i dont use so much.
Really annoys me alot to be honest not sure if its a ICS issue or not.
As for other crashes no not really just browser for me
Cheers

I used to have the browser close pretty frequently on me in gingerbread (stock os/stock browser). I have not noticed any since ics (also all stock)

Stock browser usually quits to homescreen suddenly. Sometimes it remember the site it was on sometimes not.
Opera crashed on particular site by exiting to home. It also froze up while playing episode on daily show website.
So far (haven't had it long) opera seems stable but a page here and there mess it up. Plus that flash issue. Will stick with it awhile longer to see if it does better on stability. What I mean is it's not random like stock.
Evelbug, how long do you use the tablet and how long have you been on stock? Been thinking of switching over to see if more stable.
Thanks!

Have only had RF1 on tab since yesterday but experienced quite a few browser crashes at least with stock browser, hangs for a second then just closes. No FC or other message.
XDA Premium app has been doing the same thing so not sure what's up with that.

I'm on flexreaver (12.5, I think), and haven't had trouble with the stock browser crashing. I get the occassional screen flicker and have to reset my wifi once in a while, but the browser seems well behaved.

quick update, in case anyone's browser shopping,
opera mobile all day today and no closes or crashes. a few sites it doesn't do well on, but I guess that's what the stock one will be for...

I have had it in the beginning (browser just closing) when I just install a rom but after a few days it is gone.

lag switching to bookmarks in browser

When switching to bookmarks in browser it can be normal but many times I have a good lag. I wonder if others have ran into this also. I have used both task managers and wipe/reflash and these have just proved to be a temporary fix. everything else on the nexus flys.
Yeah mine does it sometimes.
It happens, usually why my cache is full and I accidentally got like 6 tabs or more open. ..lol
oh yeah, I get that lag as well. it doesn't happen all the time. but when it does happen it can take more than 5 seconds or much longer to open up bookmarks. must be a bug.
got the same lag here, running CM 5.06
I've had it since day 1, across every vanilla rom I've used. Hopefully it gets fixed in the next update. It only happens in thumbnail mode, not list mode.

[Q] Complete lockups of system.

Hi all,
Info:
Running PA 2.99
Faux Kernel
No overclocks/undervolts etc.
For a while now, and I'm not sure when it started, but from my memory, pretty much after PA 2.54?
Whilst browsing the internet, especially watching vids etc, my tablet completely crashes, like the processor is struggling! But, they arent just normal lock ups, my tab completely locks up, and goes nuts !!
Even having like 3/4/5 tabs open completely destroys my tab.
Usually, I have to fully power-down and back up, for it to work again.
It happens on various browsers, such as Chrome, Maxthon and Dolphin.
Any one else experiencing serious crashes?
Any one know what could be causing it?
Thanks,
Wilks3y.
Details would be helpful. Which versions of 2.99 and faux kernel, for instance. As out stands, your question is about as vague as walking into a doctor's office, proclaiming ‘I'm sick‘ and not saying much of anything specific.

Revert to pure stock for a while.
If you continue to experience similar symptoms using stock then hardware is possibly implicated.
If not, then it's software (kernel or ROM or kernel tuning parameters).
On pure stock I can crash the kernel (using Chrome beta on certain WebGL demos), but largely Stock seems pretty well behaved on my tablet.

Dolphin Browser Crashing

Good morning,
I am having some issues with the latest Dolphin Browser. It seems to be consuming too much battery and is crashing a lot, even when I am or haven't been using it. I get the message that it has crashed even when it hasn't been used. Additionally, it is consuming too much battery. It now is number 1 of my battery consumers by the end of the day and I don't use it that often. If I do it's fairly quickly. I am on CM10.1 and this started on the 2/5 nightly. It also happened on 2/8 and the one I am currenlty on, M1.
Anyone else having this issue? Can I solve this?
Thanks
I've had issues with Dolphin ever since 9.1 came out. I've essentially switched to Boat now because Dolphin has become way too unstable, especially with jetpack installed. And jetpack is really a necessary add in for dolphin to work right. After using Boat, I actually prefer it now after being a long time dolphin user. Try it out

[Q] why the heck are my programs exiting?!

Okay, this is getting ridiculous and im getting pissed. My N10 has been working without a hitch (and without a camera flash too) for the past 6 or 7 months since i got it but one thing that is happening now is getting very annoying is it just exits out of apps when the app is trying to load something...not exiting when the app itself is loading, but when the app is busy loading another task. Man im getting mad...so for example im on facebook the interface loads fine but when i start browsing pictures and an image is taking a few seconds to load and BAM, the program closes, another example i have the AOSP browser opened and im browsing the web, I type in a web address it starts to load, and BAM, closes, playing candy crush, it plays fine and then i try to ask for help from facebook and once it starts loading my friends and it does it again.i could go on and on. its happening on game apps, google apps its pissing me the heck off and it just started about a month ago. I have tried several roms thinking it was a memory leak somewhere or something for that matter and no luck. Ive tried trinity and KT kernels thinking the stock kernel was the culprit and still no dice. Ive even gone as far as to wipe out the whole device, everything to the fullest system format and reinstall a new stock image via wugs toolkit...still happening. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and is there a fix for this? Is anyone going through this crap too? The Dev forums have been quite lately but im sure this tablet still has very active users who can help because this is getting old. BTW I am running Purity latest rom with Franco kernel r12 just in case you need to know
Does this happen after you watch videos? For me, that's the only time..apparently the surface flinger eats up the RAM and hardly 20-30MB is left for other apps. So I guess the system starts force closing the apps. I don't think we have a permanent fix for this yet. However, the workaround I have applied is I disabled Chrome which is another RAM eater and since then this random force closing and even the random restarts problem seems to have been alleviated!
Another simpler option is to restart the tab whenever you feel it is starting to operate with a lag. Takes hardly 30 seconds And hope for Google to release the fix to the surface flinger issue with 4.3!

Memory leak hasn't been fixed in 4.3

The surfaceflinger seems to have indeed been fixed, but there is still a memory leak in the system, which I now encountered it for the 2nd time. I wanted to make screenshots, but just after I made the 2nd one, the tablet soft rebooted. It didn't freeze, it didn't show any google logo, it went directly to the boot animation and then the tablet booted. This seems to have been fixed it, unlike the previous surface flinger issue where you needed a normal reboot.
Anyway, in the 1st screenshot you can see 44h of uptime, in the 2nd one I took a pic in quick system info which displayed 198mb of free ram, just after I cleared all the processes, but then the tablet immediately soft rebooted and apparently didn't save the screenshot.
Running "ps su" in terminal emulator showed 56 rss, if I typed "su" 1st and then "ps su" there were 2 rows, one with 56 rss and the second with 116 rss, so the surface flinger has apparently been fixed.
Running factory image 4.3, rooted, deodexed, stock kernel. Has anyone experienced this issue on 4.3 so far?
LE: Oh I forgot to attach the first screenshot, sorry. Anyway it's a pic from cpu spy, which displayed 44h of uptime, so it's not that important.
I had just nearly the same phenomen. But my n10 softrebooted when I was starting to examine the process table. I just had found surfaceflinger, so I'm sure it was not that process, but sadly I hadn't found the mem-eater, when the colored X appeared.
I had done a dirty flash from aokp-pub, so I am not sure to blame android-4.3. But mem-leaks stick like sh** on a shoesole, so I'm sure, if it does not result from dirty flashing, we will hear soon from a new memory leak... (hopefully in some opensource part - cm and aokp team are faster in n10 support then google...)
I haven't had a single reboot since I flashed 4.3. My uptime is up into the 90+ hours range, and it would be higher if i hadn't had to reboot to install root, Adaway and the AOSP browser. I mainly use the tablet to browse the internet (using the AOSP browser) and reddit (via reddit news app), plus some youtube videos (using the youtube app) occasionally. I rarely play games, though I have played a little Real Racing 3 since the last bootup.
My advice is to download the stock rom from the google developers website, and completely wipe the tablet clean via the "flash-all" script. Re-install only the bare minimum apps, and see if the issues persist.
I have 4.3 from Friday. No restarts at all, but I noticed two times strange behaviour. Tablet was soo slow, every action was soo laggy. I had to restart it. Maybe its apex fault. Im not sure

Ladies and gentlemen, I present you the "suspect": Google's Chrome, the all time crap browser.
I also mostly use the AOSP browser and occasionally Opera for some downloads that I can't do with the stock browser. I installed Chrome a few days ago to see how it works in 4.3 and it does indeed work better, but the 1st memory leak I encountered happened the day I used chrome, I'm sure of it. I wasn't much impressed with it so I went back to AOSP browser and everything worked fine, then I decided to give it another try: bam, memory leak again, yesterday, the day I used chrome again.
Also, I read some comments on the forums about people having reboots on 4.3, WHILE using chrome.
In fact, in 4.2.2 while we had the surface flinger problems, I remember that chrome was the main cause.
I am back to using AOSP and Opera and everything is working superbly.

Are you rooted? If so, there is a bug in SuperSU V1.41 which causes CPU usage to sit at 100%...

Yep rooted. My Chrome is disabled. I hope update supersu will solve the problem with cpu usage. Thx for info about it

Same here, might be SU fault, but I was using 1.43 when the tablet starts to lag heavily without rebooting. Couldn't find what the culprit was, CPU usage was normal, there was plenty of ram, even tried killing all background apps and services with no luck. Not even a hot boot could fix the lag.
Since then I've updated to SU1.5 so we'll see how that goes.

I got a reboot last night. Opened Google Now and it went to the bootanimation. Stock 4.3 with the Flaming Monkey Kernel, SU 1.45. It was my first reboot since January, when I went to custom ROMs. Went back to stock kernel, we'll see if that helps. Also, what AOSP Browser are you guys using? The one from the Installer from the play store closes every 5-10 minutes, and the apk ripped from CM 10.1.1.0 crashes on start-up...And I stopped using Chrome in January, and never had a reboot until Chrome was installed on 4.3. Coincidence? Probably not...

Never had any issues even on 4.2.2 with any sort of memory leak. Was able to go at least 5 days without any reboots and that's with using the chrome browser. I haven't used 4.3 long enough to post my findings with it but so far after 3 days it seems to be about the same. The only thing I can think of is that I bought my Nexus 10 in May so I don't know if a newer hardware version would make any difference.
Also, those of you with random reboots have you tried updating your boot loader yet? Not sure if or how it would make any difference but it's worth a shot.
