I have had my nexis 7 since they fist came out. Use it every day. Lately when I am on the internet , usually on a news page, the unit will out of the blue, drop back to home page. Any suggestions ? Have not added any new apps, and reloaded my news app, no help.

I have the same problem that began after upgrade to 4.2.1. Would like to know if you are rooted or not and what browser are you using. It only seems to happen on xscope not on chrome.

Happens here on rooted stock 4.2.1 running Dolphin Browser. Although not very often, once or twice a day maybe? Haven't noticed it in stock browser ( I barely use it though)

[Q] Stock browser flickers white when first viewed

Hi all
Does anyone else have their stock browser flicker when they first view a web page? It flickers a few times when you touch the screen to scroll, for example, and after a few flickers, the flicker stops and then all is well.
I bought an unlocked GT from Tesco last year and then flashed it to P1000XXJM6, kernal version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1, FROYO.XXJM6.
It usually happens when I'm about to show someone how wonderful my tab is and then I have to explain it does this weird thing from time to time.
Any thoughts? Surely it's not just me?
Thanks
Gareth
I've had this happen on JME/JMF firmwares and it does only happen in the stock one as mentioned,
I use dolphin HD most of the time ..I don't think i get this in the JMI roms of recent days though, i will confirm later tonight (TAB at home with the misses).
For now use Dolphin HD (Full screen mode) whilst showing off ^^
Would be great if you could confirm - as I might need to reflash to avoid the problem.

Keyboard and browser issues

My nexus 10 is freaking out all of the sudden. The keyboard is disappearing after I type a few keystrokes. I thought maybe swift key was the issue. Tried two other keyboards and it is still happening. In addition, my browser is force closing so much. It started last week after watching lots of video on it. Not sure if it's related. I thought the specific browser may have been the issue so I tried surfing in dolphin, Firefox, chrome, etc. It is crashing every few minutes. It is very frustrating. It sometimes seems related to the keyboard issue and sometimes seems totally independent. I literally had to post this from my phone because the tablet force closed the browser on me 5 times while trying to post. Sorry if this post is redundant but I couldn't find anything in my searches. Any suggestions would be welcome or help in pointing to where I might read about troubleshooting in a different thread.
Thanks!
Update: this doesn't explain the keyboard thing but I have noticed that when the app crashes, the wifi bars go from blue to grey. Is there a fix for that?
2nd update: it's quickly getting worse. Every app is crashing every few moments. Even gallery! Ahhhhh! Someone please help me!
I have been experiencing the same issue. Just recently started about a week ago. I have stock nexus 10. My browser of choice is Dolphin. I'm thinking the issue is with the keyboard not the browser.

I have the same problem with my nexus 10 same issue with wifi also, when the keyboard drops out so does wifi. I also still have issues with Youtube refreshing half way through a video. Love this tablet but if it keeps it up iI'm selling it.
Same here. I'm having the exact same problems. All of them. The keyboard, apps crashing, Wifi bars going grey. I'm even get problems with YouTube, Play Store, and Feedly saying, "Tap to reconnect", and I have to press it like 3 or 4 times then it works. I think I know what the problem is though. If anyone is using Flash player. That might be causing the problem, because when I was using Adblock. I was getting horrible internet connecting then I disable it and then worked fine.

[Q] Strange glitch in Play Store when updating apps

Hi all,
I have a problem with the Play Store on my Nexus 7 what is bugging me since I got the device and that I never experienced on any other Android device I own(ed). This problem has been present from the beginning with any version of Android (got the Nexus 7 with 4.2.1 and got the 4.2.2. update quickly) and Play Store. Even the brand new 4.0 version that has been rolled out just yesterday (the bright one with the new tile design) showns this error.
The problem is this: in 3 of 4 cases when I hold my device in portrait mode and start play store and update an app, the screen constantly "flashes" every second while downloading, it´s that graphical "zoom in" effect that you get when you open an app. The problem is that I can´t leave this screen with the "back" button, it simply doesn´t work and the page keeps on flickering and showing that strange effect. Only the "home" button helps. After downlaoding and installing the update, everything woks fine.
What I already tried to get rid of the problem (none of them did help, though..):
- deleted cache and data from paly store, uninstalled update of play store, so Android reinstalled updates
- tried new version 4.0 of play store
- deleted, rebooted and reinstalled gmail account on Nexus 7
Anyone experienced this glitch? Any hints on how to solve this?
Thanks a lot,
Markus
Try stopping Downloads and Download Manager in Apps > All and clearing cache and data for them. Then reboot and try Play again.
My nexus been doing the same thing since new but in landscape mode only, annoying, but never bothered me too much. I just try to remember to keep portrait mode while updating.

I've been playing with roms and kernels lately, settling on Buttered Grouper 4.2.2 with Franco kernel r65. Just noticed the other day that Play Store flickering is gone. Coincidence?

This has been happening since I got the Nexus on release day. Thought it was normal behavior LOL. Completely stock -> Stock 4.3 ROM rooted/M-Kernel a61.

Wow, it´s still present on the NEW Nexus 7 ? Unbelievable, maybe time to jump off the Nexus bandwagon ... most people think it´s a huge advantage to have a nexus and always the newest android version, but to me it´s more and more a disadvantage. When 4.3 came out half of my apps stopped working, and i had to wait several days and even weeks (heck, some are STILL not compatible with 4.3) to use them again...

I've had it happen to me a couple of times over the last couple of days while watching "bootleg" cable channel video streams using the web browser (not Dolphin). Like you, I've had to unplug to restart.
If you use Dolphin does the same issue occur?
No problems with Lightning Browser. It's been updated to work with the MOJO.

I used Dolphin to stream a bootleg channel for a couple of hours this afternoon with no issue. I'll test it more later.
It doesn't matter what I'm doing and it randomly freezes
Have you tried a different browser though? Give a few of them a try and see if it makes any difference (Lightning, Dolphin... there are others, especially if you're rooted).

Using Dolphin, I've been streaming the same bootleg channel that was locking up MOJO while using the pre loaded browser (the name escapes me, but has the blue globe as its icon) for roughly six hours over the last couple of days with no issues.
I'll try the pre loaded browser again later and see it MOJO locks up again.

For what it's worth, I just tried to watch streaming video with the pre loaded browser. My MOJO froze after about 5 minutes, requiring a reboot. I'm concluding the issue must be browser related. If it ever happens with Dolphin, I'll post about it.

Same problem i did a factory reset and it's the same
i think it's a nand problem or cache that can be solved by a software update

flaky behavior after kitkat upgrade

Hello all,
Just curious to see if you've noticed any weird behavior with your Note after upgrading to the stock Kitkat upgrade?
Specifically it appears that the webkit engine gets stuck and I can not browse with any browser (Android browser, Firefox and Chrome). I just get a blank browsing screen....even my home page is blank.
To recover, I have to go to task manager and kill all the active apps and Clear memory via the ram manager. Then it works for a while. It doesnt appear to be the IP stack, since I can use Ping and Dns utility/app and ping, DNS queries all work; just http gets don't.
I've done a factory reset....same behavior. Even sent it to Samsung and they reflashed it with 4.3 and it worked fine on this release...but after I got the Samsung notification and upgraded to 4.4.2, the flakiness started again.
And ideas on this?
I've noticed that specific javascript sites appear to start the behavior...but not consistently.
Thanks,
J
Received my Note 10.1 about 2 weeks ago now. Upgraded to Kitkat right of the box with out even trying it out and was instantly not happy with the UI design or sluggish performance. I flashed the Hyperdrive KK rom and performance was so much better. Had no issues except for bugs in the rom. Then I came across the Aroma Galaxy Tab S rom and ever since I have flashed that onto the 10.1 everything has been smooth.
Pretty happy now and use it regularly without much lag or slow down.
I use a Stock KitKat and it does happens to me too. It's annoying but pretty quick to "fix" it, just open the recent após and kill the browser you are using, then open it again.
Wifi performance sucks now!
Wifi performance sucks for me after the newest update. I've tried re-flashing the latest again with Odin but still same issues persist. I have lots of shuddering when streaming things such as Slingbox, SiriusXM and Plex. Have noticed the wifi signal will drop out all together as well and does not reconnect right away. Was hoping to keep this thing stock as I use it for work but the wifi problems are becoming frustrating.

Stock was my intention as well originally too. I flash a touch wiz rom so everything looks stock and im not really running any extra modifications so I still consider it pretty clean stock.
• Hyperdrive KK
• Aroma Galaxy Tab S
I have had success with the above roms. Didnt have wifi issues with either.
