What's wrong with xda app

I know it was mentioned that xda app crashes on the iconia tab but this goes further. I can't access xda web site with browser too (can't find disable java ) and from my phone (epic) I don't see Q posts click-able underneath general post line like on pc, so from my tab can't access xda all.

Does it give any error messages?

FC only on the app and on web just shuts down, like I mentioned on my phone no Q&A line underneath general treads.

I have had the web close like that on me before, but never consistently for a single site, and never on XDA :/ try this:
Settings> applications> manage applications> all> browser> clear data. No guarantees, but maybe it will fix it.

I think he's talking about xda app. It's a known issue on the free app.
**My mistake I just re-read the the question... no idea why the browser would be crashing for you on xda. Dolphin, Opera and OEM all work for me.

he gave no specifics in his original post, ie: which version of HC, what build, etc. No way to help him based on a question without pertinent info.

Just give up on the app :/ its broken. Force closing IS operating correctly for that app! As far as I'm concerned, if the browser works, this threads a success just read my signature

Yes browser works now, don't know why was crashing in beginning

LOL Funny, I found under Privacy in Settings, on the top there is Clear Browsing Data. Maybe with some more exploration, there might be a list?
On the Stock Browser for ICS, if you hold the back button it takes you to history and bookmarks... Nothing similar in Chrome it seems....

Help with getting flash to work....apk file

I searched the forum about getting Flash to work on the Nexus 10 and the thread said to go to the Nexus 7 forums and do it with the steps over there....which I think I did.
I downloaded three.apk fikes and put them on my tablet.....an Adobe Flash .apk file that ends in 152, a "Hulafied" .apk file, and a Adobe Air .apk file. I tapped the files individually and it appeared they installed properly....or at least they went through the motions of a proper install.
But when I go to some sites, I am still getting that lego looking icon which I assume are flash animations/movies.
Am I downloading the wrong files?

You just need the flash app and a browser that supports the flash plugin. You also need to enable plugin loading for that browser. Boat supports it as does the AOSP browser. Chrome does not.

I have the Boat Browser and when I look in my apps, I have the little Flash player icon. I'm still getting the little lego icon though on some sites.

You have to enable it in boat. Go to the settings in boat and then page content settings and enable flash. Exit and exit boat. Start it again and test your web page.

Do you have a link to the .apk file you use? Maybe I need to uninstall and try a different .apk file?

Best Web Browser?

lol, these threads are usually annoying, but I'm desperate!
Tried Ocean browser but it's fugly with that grey color scheme (couldn't find a way to change it). It matters to me since I'll be browsing the net a lot.
Dolphin is the one I'm settled with at the moment and so far it's nice.
Will give Opera Beta a try.
Any others people use?

Definitely the best browser. Its android browser. Yes you need root. Once you do its very simple to install. Its the smoothest and does flash full screen videos without issues.
If you don't want to root, naked browser is also very good.

so far I'm loving firefox, it has adblock and it's smoother in flash videos. =D

+1 for Boat Browser, very fast and stable, supports flash and is very lightweight with about 3mb in size.
my default browser now for weeks

Chrome is the best browser, for me
Works fast (after the V8 Javascript update), and I haven't had it crash yet that I can recall (I do wonder what people are doing to have it crash "repeatedly" though since I haven't had any issues).
AOSP Browser comes in second for me. Anything else isn't an option for me unless it syncs with Google.

Have you tried Boat yet? I'm curious what you thought of it.

I'm using Boat as my browser at the moment actually.
It's great so far.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Chrome for almost everything. I use the "other devices" feature several times a day. It's great being able to instantly pull up any tab open on the desktop, laptop, tablet, or other phone.
Firefox Beta or Dolphin Beta for stuff that requires flash. Don't really use AOSP browser anymore.

How do you get Dolphin Beta to actually play Flash? for me whenever I try and enable it, Dolphin tells me it's naughty and refuses to let me force-enable it!
edit: I have installed the Flash APK already, it's just Dolphin Beta fighting against me...

Simply press "Download files and apply ad blocking" and AdAway will block almost everything for you automatically :good:

You need to be rooted...

When would q&a be in apps section? Where else would one talk about apps.. I think its a thin line, I'm sure mods are doing a fine job
Anyways, Adaway has been removed from play store but still available online. It does require you be rooted for it to overwrite your host file. Most ads using will be redirected if listed in host file. Works well.

IIRC, AdAway didn't work for some games like Angry Birds. In that case, blocking their internet access with DroidWall did the trick.
