My dolphin Browser started crashing frequently. I it all of a sudden disappears. Most times when I'm doing a Google search. Anyone else.? version 9.0.3

This problem manifests itself across different Android hardware platforms and browsers.
See, for example, this thread: http://androidforums.com/htc-rezound/490477-browser-closing.html
I started experiencing this annoying problem on both, Dolphin and Boat. Clearing cache and data didn't help. Rebooting didn't help.
Chrome doesn't have this problem. I suspect it has something to do with Flash on the sites in question.
What drives me crazy is the fact it is random. The same site could open just fine one time, and close, with no FC, another time.

There are many threads regarding the issue out there.

The one above recommends turning off Flash "auto load" in your browser settings.

Mine too and the ocean browser too and Firefox as well what's going on?
No I'm back to chrome seems OK for the moment
I don't have flash turned on and dolphin is very stable for me
Yes, the auto-load doesn't affect the behavior. I had to completely reinstall Dolphin and it is working fine so far.
The fact Chrome is the only browser without this problem is a strong indication these random closings have something to do with Flash implementation on these sites, the auto-load switch notwithstanding.
Having same problem with ocean and boat lately

Can we say it all started after 4.2.1 upgrade?

4.2.1 is the culprit.

"The backtrace suggests the problem may be in /system/lib/libchromium_net.so
Since it is a segfault in WebViewCore it will appear in every app that uses it, including.. dolphin"

Boat and Dolphin crashing seemingly randomly and dumping me back to home screen (on Nexus 7 and Asus Transformer TF201). Medium priority? My Apple using friends are wetting themselves and I'm starting to wonder if they're right.

I've been having the same problems with dolphin and chrome, only with chrome the whole tablet will crash.
Until the bugs are fixed I've switched to Sleipnir browser and haven't had any stability problems. Its still pretty fast and the gestures are great once you get used to them.
Just an alternative to try until things get fixed :laugh:
Another thread recommended to set:
Settings - Accounts - Google - Ads - OFF
This configuration started working for me. So far Dolphin is behaving well.
BTW I was able to fix this by completely uninstalling Dolphin and re-installing it again. It's definitely still the best browser for me right now.
This is happening to me. It just randomly crashes when I am not even using it. It has also been consuming a ton of battery, like it's top on my battery chart. has caused maximum battery drain once and only a reboot fixed it.

Mine is a little different I've lost the ability for the settings menu so I can't change anything

Brilliant. Dolphin kept crashing for me every time I tried to sign into Google, Youtube etc. This has fixed it. Thanks added.

My stock browser force closes CONSTANTLY. Doesnt matter how many apps I have open or how many reboots I do, it forces closes AT LEAST 50% of the time I use it - which is often. Any ideas?!

This has happened to me ever since I installed the flash app. This wasn't occurring on the leaked flash app I downloaded last week. You are not the only one. Facebook seems especially force close on me.
Anyone else having this issue?
i too have the same issue. a lot of force closes, but this was happening even when i had leaked flash.
seems like the browser is having a lot of issues.
force closing, clearing data, and deleting cache doesn't seem to fix it neither.
Very odd. I am running stock,locked with the leaked flash and I don't think I have ever had a FC.
posted from my Xoom. Using the thumbkeyboard.
stock, locked, and yes, force closes all the time. Facebook especially. I had the leaked Flash, but only use it on demand. I had switched over to Dolphin browser, but now that I have the released Flash I'll give it another go.
Do you folks have the Labs -> Quick Controls on? I noticed a lot more FCs after using that option.
change plugins to on demand in settings/advanced.Any plugin you want to load on the page just click the green down arrow
noticed the same thing. Probably why its still a lab feature.
I've been having the browser lock up, and I mean become non-responsive without even a force close. Only good way to recover is to reboot. And this started happening before I installed Flash.
Not sure what's going on, but it seemed to start after updating to 3.0.1.

No I do not use the Quick Controls but browser closes all the time.
I haven't had a single browser FC yet. If it is like the app FC, there is a report button. I hope that everyone that has a FC in the browser is using this? If it is a consistent FC, please post the website address here so others can verify and also report the FC. The more the merrier.

Funny.. browser has crashed, but no fc. Just off.. restated with no open tabs. Odd
That happens to me once in a while on weird websites like launching a twitpic url from Twitter. Launching it again worked fine.
Just buggy stuff I guess.
I have had the browser just crash to the home screen with no FC several times. This usually happens when I have activated the flash plug in on a web page for a few minutes.

UPDATED: Release 5.0.1 fixed the problem. Back to being my favorite browser!
If the update to version 5 of Dolphin HD refuses to load pages or won't load them at all on your A500, please go to our blog and comment with specifics so we can refer them to Dolphin in the next day or two.
I had the same problems with the beta version and uninstalled it immedietly. We want to keep this A500 specific, but are interested to know if other devices are having the same issues.
Please comment here:

We are not doing this to make money, so don't click any ad links while on our site unless you see something you just have to click on. (We only make a penny per click anyway).
Let's make sure Dolphin pays attention to this quickly.

works fine for me. i just dont like using it because it doesnt seem to be able to download any file over 1mb. it just saves the html if its over. so im using opera. seems to be a better browser anyway.

Agree i too using Opera Mobile since it can download anything.
Only negative is no Flash in Opera yet.
It's because that Google hasn't open the Android 3.0 source code.
but it seems that Opera Mobile support HTML5.
Yeah, the update gave me problems, it is sporadic and hard to track down. When it occurs the pages fail to load properly, and I have to force the program stopped (application manager or task manager) to restore it to a functional state.
But, when it is working, it is a very nice update...
Same for me...I tried the Dolphin beta and had all sorts of issues where the pages wouldn't load any more. I uninstalled it and went back to the stock browser, which is working pretty well since the update. The previous Dolphin HD version was awesome.
Yesterday I installed the newest released version of Dolphin HD and am sharing it's use with the stock browser. It seems to be working okay, but I haven't done much surfing in the last day or so.
Update
Go the Dolphin home page and under the goole search bar you will see "page loading disturbing you now?". It appears this issue may have been addressed with a new beta. It has worked for me but I have only been using it for a short while.

Solved it for me. I was having problems with both my HTC Evo 4G and my Acer A500 with v5.0.0.
I have experienced some browser crashes in the past week, on multiple sites, and especially when visiting IGN.com. Its sort of a flash heavy site, but it still happens when I have Flash turned off.
Anyone else having problems with browser crashes? It has happened with both the stock Android Browser as well as Dolphin HD Browser.
yeah lot's of random crashing with default browser, I have installed every browser available but none offer the same as desktop experience. Browsing is (for me) the most disappointing thing about the tablet.
Happens to me quite often. Well happened. If you can live without JavaScript turn it off. Just enable it on sites that you really need. For me the sudden browser closures (not FCs) happend mainly on sites with JavaScripts.
Yes lots of crashes for me as well. I tend to have a lot of tabs open, and it is particularly annoying that there seems to be no way to automatically open up the same set of tabs (anyone know if there is a way to do this)...
same here, getting very tired of having to turn flash and java off to make browswer stable, hell if wanted this i would have bought a ipad2!
Much of the content on good sites is java & flash, for me its only been really bad the last 7 days. Come on android/ Asus, sort it please!

Just did that and both the stock browser and Dolphin HD work MUCH faster and no more FCs. Question--is the Java engine part of android, or is it in the browser? If it is in android, then I guess there is no point in trying other browsers.

holy, I've experience about 10 force closes. My browser doesn't even show the pop up force close notification, it just closes and returns me to my launcher -.-
same here ,really annoying..my nook colors stock browser on cm7 was alot better as well as flash support on it...hopefully soon it ll be adressed...
i just experienced this during the weekend. anyone contact ASUS about this?
this is surely a software issue which can easily be fixed (i hope)
Wow - glad I am not the only one. I really hope this issue gets fixed, its annoying to say the least!
+1
Me too, hope they sort it soon.
I found that clearing my cache through the manage app settings helps me to load a page after a crash. It usually happens if I have over 25 MB worth of cache from previous browsing cessions.
I must be lucky... I've had no problems with my browser at all, I'm very pleased with it.
I Use Dolphin HD. Only Time my Browser Crashes is when My girl uses it and she gets on Tumblr. Weird..
Edit: Oh and it only happens after a While of use on that web Site.
Guys, I just turned off the fast scrolling in the advanced menu and it's stopped crashing. Can anyone else test?
so far so good. Crossing my fingers.

Its working pretty good and its nice
It's Chrome.
Yes and I think it's very cool and easy!
Chrome is best on every device! So, I think Chrome on Win 8 is gread!
Enjoying it so far!
Im confused...
Im installed it from the link you provided, But I dont see it installed anywhere??
Thanks for the heads up, gonna check it out tonight.
I'm really liking it so far, it feels just like Chrome and not a Chrome "App".
Only thing I don't like is that its not automatically full screen like the IE app. After entering full screen mode other than having to press F11 to bring the address bar back up it would be nice to just scroll to the top of the screen, or right click like the IE app.
Solid app all together.

Same thing happened to me at first. I already had Chrome pinned to the metro start and when I clicked on it opened regular chrome. After closing it and returning to metro the icon changed to the Chrome app.
non responsive after one day
after using it without much problems (apart from a few crashes freshly after installing), today it has just become unresponsive to touches. opened the internet explorer, it too was unresponsive, reboot didn't help. having made IE back to default browser solved the problem.
been using it on the lenovo x220t convertible
works great I have detected any major bugs.
I installed it but no diff? It doesn't seem to be Metro just normal one.
Edit: Worked now, I don't see any major change, just same old same old Chrome in Full Screen mode.
Does it still support extensions, Does it still have Web Store?
Finally,now I can install windows 8 again

It's not worth it, it's just basic Chrome, matter of fact, the scrolling bar looks like Windows 98! It makes sense lol Windows 98...take out the 9 and there you have it.

Lmfao at the take out the 9! Old jokes aside, Chrome for iOS has OSX Lion scrollbar...
After setting Chrome to default and having a play with it in its Metro form, I quickly went back to using it in Desktop Mode. At the moment it's not worth being a Metro app because it just doesn't work properly. You can't dock it to the sides because it goes a bit dodgy. Hopefully they will do it properly with an update and it will be in the store along with Mozilla's Metro version of Firefox at some point if they are still working on that...
Does it work with HTC Shift?
Works great for me so far... Cool!
It still has a couple of bugs to work out.
I'n not a fan of the chrome metro app. They hadn't followed the metro app design guidelines last time I tried it, and it just seemed like a buggy version of normal chrome.
Did anyone notice that we can't upload files? The file selection window is not showing up and I cannot find anything about this in the web.
Dear All,
Have had the nexus 10 for a few weeks now and love it. Recently though, the tablet has been freezing quite a bit. Usually happens when I am browsing the web. In these instances I have to reboot to get the tablet functional again. Anyone else experience this and if so any suggestions on how to fix the issue? Also how do I check for updates on the nexus 10. The normal About Tablet field under settings does not seem to have the system update option anymore.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Check some other threads, I read a lot of people are having reboot/freeze issues whilst using the browser, some have suggested
methods like not upgrading to 4.2.1 and disabling some 2D GPU.

I did do a search but it did not provide a clear solution. Some people have said that they removed HD widgets. What widgets are these purple referring to? Also what do you mean when you say disable 2DGPU?
Finally, where is the system updates option in the Jelly bean?
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond.

Basically, it seems to be related to Google Location Services & some apps that use that... You could turn off location services unless needed in Settings... Or you could use a custom ROM... Most custom ROMs include fixes not yet included in stock...
I've got the same issue I have my Gps and location off and I still get reboot in chrome and dolphin browser. Sometimes it freezes during Google play app updates and downloads.
Could be an app could be the os , not hardware so it will get fixed eventually.

I'm sorry to disappoint you guys, but on my Nexus ten running CM 10.1-20130205-NIGHTLY-manta i got a freeze and reboot 10 minutes ago.
The wireless bug also does not seem to be fixed. On google Hangouts my wifi connection drops after a few minutes and gets back in seconds, enough for g+ to disconnect from the hangout.
Google needs to fix this soon. Makes the tablet very unusable sometimes -.-
i got no reboot issue at all since the first day
running stock firmware and build number is JOP40F
In latest CM10.1 build 20130205 seems fixed hang or restart issue for me.
Disable Currents and don't use Chrome. Worked for me.
