Firefox and spell checker broken after 4.2 update. - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi firefox crashes everytime i load it but what really bakes my noodle is the spell checker and word pridiction no longer works. Why do google use its customers as beta testers? Anyone else having problems after updating?

Well you can't ding Google for Firefox problems. Not their product or recommended browser.
Still getting used to the default keyboard. Think I like Swype Beta better. At least I understand their autocorrect.

I can ding them for the update braking there own software. Its not just me thats having problems after the update.

Lag
Sorry for digging up an old thread, but I also have issues with spell correction and bad lag when typing since the latest update. Any ideas?

Google Chrome Beta does not work on rooted devices

Does anybody know what is up with that? Is Google intentionally doing this? Is there a work around? The Chrome browser is pretty nice and fast. It seem that Google is aware of it.

I saw a work around just yesterday I think... can't remember where. so I can't help.
If you can read this it was sent using my GT-P7510.
You gotta edit the build prop for now.

Or just download the patched version

I'm running it fine on Stock 4.2.1 rooted.
Could you grap a logcat as it opens? Then I can see what may be wrong, and you can send it off to the devs
Here is a logcat of when I try and open the file

Play Store App flickers when downloading. Anybody?

I'm not sure if this has been discussed or not on the forms here. This is kind of hard to explain..Whenever I'm browsing in the Play Store app on the N10, during a download the app itself flickers (almost like its refreshing) whenever the percentage moves during the downloading process. This has happened way before the updates to the Play Store app as well. I'm running CM 10.1 (Nightly) and the issue is still there. This was one of the first things I noticed when I was running stock too. I was kind of hoping that Play Store Version 4.0.26 fixed it but I guess not.
Has anybody noticed this issue? I highly doubt this a hardware related issue. Games seem to run awesome on it.
Any ideas?
- Brian
I have had the same issue since I got mine in December, running stock.
I've had this issue under JB 4.2 and ICS 4.0 on an Acer a500 and the Nexus N10, no fix found yet.
I get this too… it seems to me like a refresh issue, like the Play Store is trying to load up other images or something. Since no other app does this, I'm pretty sure it's just an app issue.
I've seen it on every rom, every version of the play Store... It may be the refresh for the download causing issues

Omg, it just refreshes. Is that so annoying?

Yes, because it makes scrolling through 'My Apps' a royal PITA. And sometimes, if its particularly fickle, it keeps returning to one single app over and over.
Thanks for the reply back guys. I didn't know if it was a hardware related or if its just a bug in the app itself. I see that version 4.0,27 got released today. Hopefully this will help!
@bahehs..Do you have jokes or something? I remember my first beer.

Still flickers for me, but at least it doesn't reset to the top of the list every time it flickers now.
Same issue when I'm viewing all my apps during download. Since I can now scroll through my apps during download I don't worry about it much anymore.

When I'm updating multiple apps, it will keep refreshing the first one to the point that I can't click on the next app in line to be updated, because I want to see what the new update has added or changed.
I have the same issue (flickering shop) on my Nexus 7. I've noticed that it happens while downloading larger files, especially games. Sometimes it freezes Google Play completely.
So far I haven't noticed it on my Nexus 10. (But it has different version of Google Play, as far as I can tell).
The latest play store 4.xx resolved my flickers.

Yup, flashing, barely able to see what was going on be it downloading an app or copying a film from a flash drive. Installed AOPK and it is fixed, one solid moving bar as it ought to be.
Mine does this as well. I just leave the play store so I don't have to deal with it. Completely stock.
I get this with paranoid android, but had it before changing. It not only flickers, but when I'm downloading, say, Gmail, and go to another app while in the "My Apps" view, it will revert back to Gmail. Very annoying.

There are several apps on play store. I tried one of them "multiscreen multitasking THD" (you have to buy it to try it) but soon returned it. Very impressive idea but it could not connect to the Internet with its own browser, so I asked for a refund.

It worked fine as far as the multi window aspect. Quite cool! I just could not connect with its browser. It’s only $2 so you can try and see if you can get it to connect. I wrote to the author but have not heard back yet.

Paranoid Android is currently working on their implementation of multi window, but it uses an overlay concept to do it. IMO this is much cleaner than stacked windows. They also have a notification ticker that works like Facebook chat heads, which is how you launch the overlay apps. It's still in alpha status but it's shipping up to be really good.

is the chrome browser really that bad?

[for non-rooted only]
it seems like alot of people have problems with chrome being slow and causing reboots, etc.
what other browsers are better? i heard chrome beta is good?

Pretty much anything that's not Chrome. I've always used AOSP on the N10, but I've used Dolphin and One Browser on my Photon. My Photon is also on Gingerbread though, so YMMV.

Same here and never like Firefox on my mobile devices before but seems much better on my nexus 10...
I've read where you can get flash to work with it also but so far no luck here getting it to work, after flash installs it never shows up as a add on? I haven't rooted my N10 and honestly not sure I'm going to...
