all Internet browsers close after 2.2 UPDATE

i updated and of course, all internet browsers close as soon as a start using them. They open, let me go to a website or two, then close. I was super eager to test the full flash but i can barely get to the websites themselves without the browser closing suddenly. I updated the firmware, profile, prl, and everything. the phone was never rooted.
I'm about to do a hard reset but I figured i should check what you guys had to say first.

Hard reset is the only thing that has helped so far. Just do it, it will make the system work better anyway.

Will a hard reset effect firmware/froyo.

I had the same issues with the camera. Reset all folders permission to read and write.

sorry for my ignorance but how I can do a hard reset? and it will fix the problem?

No, a hard reset basically wipes your data and cache(?) partitions. All apps and data are deleted. This will return you to just your normal firmware, without any customizations. Then you can reinstall apps. I think that's the main problem, some apps aren't dealing with the upgrade too well, and as a result, you get some weird errors. It won't change any versions of your software though.

I'm having the same problem.. If we move the apps to the SD card we shouldn't have to reinstall them, correct? And if we re-install apps, does the settings/info saved on them return or would we have to change those as well? I'm getting ready to do a hard reset too and I spent alot of time with these apps and I was worried about losing info/settings..
Also, I'm using Launcher Pro, will it revert back to Sense after the Hard Reset?

Search "how to hard reset the HTC EVO". It can either be done through the settings menu or you can physically do it using the power and volume rocker.

My dad was having similar issues. And said that going into settings while in the browser and changing enable plugins from "always on" to "on demand" helps
Also the person using launcher pro go into the launcher pro settings or preferabces and all the way on the bottom you can backup your settings/homescreen.

It will return back to sense. It will be like a brand new phone. Before you hard reset backup your launcher pro settings and homescreen. Hard reset if my internet fix didn't work. Reinstall all apps and launcherpro and then restore launcher pro settings and homescreens.

Is hard reset the only way to fix this?

No you can remove Adobe flash and reinstall it.. worked flawless for myself.
James

I hate to ask this sounding like a noob, but I'm at work and can't do much research, but what would be the best way to backup all those files? Just with the USB drive or is there a backup app I can download, etc.
Nevermind, I figured out how to backup Launcher Pro, but how about apps still?

It should still be in the market, got it earlier for latest CM Nightly.

Yeah I don't see it either. I found Flash 10.1 beta on Appbrain, but it won't sync with my phone. I uninstalled and removed flash and my browser is still crashing.

Here is the APK. I had to uninstall it using titanium backup. was easier than going the ADB rm way
James

I had the same problem. Some are saying it's because of installing the half ass full flash version on 2.1 that came out a month ago.
I downloaded and reinstalled the apk and then it worked...for about 6 hours and then the browser starting crashing again.
The next time i uninstalled and then installed the flash 10.1 again, so far, so good.

When I get home I'm gonna try that and hope it works before I do a hard reset.

Nothing worked so I finally decided on the hard reset. I think one should do it anyway to get the best out of the update. Everything works fine now, glad to see that it remembers the apps I had already paid for. The whole thing seems to run smoother than ever, (I hated the baggy scrolling.) Southparkstudios works now, the entire video section of the new York times works now as well. Embedded YouTube videos work on Facebook they play without me having to leave the page/browser.
****ONE ISSUE***
Text fields act strange. I can't type status updates into the full Facebook site anymore, nothing happens when I tap the text field. That blows big time I hate using the Facebook apps I want the full site to work fully.
Similarly, I was never able to type into the text fields on the gmail full site. Now I can a little bit although Tue browser seems uber confused about whether it wants to deal with the text field or not. Any ideas why text fields (
Rich text fields) are such an issue?
I was hoping that yahoo games would work, especially yahoo pool but still no go.

Competely Remove TW Launcher?

Even using Go Launcher HD I have a couple moments where the ROM hangs after I hit the Home button. Anyone else get this? I'm tempted to just completely remove the TW launcher. Anyone done it? A list of safe to remove bloatware would be nice, but I haven't seen one yet. I tried uninstalling some of the VZW apps and it caused a boot loop. Scared me, but luckily I had enough time in between reboots to install an app at a time.
Anyone removed TW completely?

You should be able to use any launcher you want with no issues. I wouldn't just simply delete TwLauncher though.

Not easily to my knowledge. I mean, anything is possible, but the sad truth is that we have very little development for this device, so all the things you would like to do with it simply have not received attention.

Did you ever get any solution figured out? I've got the same problem going on with the Verizon version.

Hi Guys, had this very same issue. I am not sure my symptoms match your's, but here's mine. Basically air command, double tapping on the screen does not fire up the Action Memo app, which is supposed to in a normally functioning device.
First of all make sure you don't delete/free ALL your action memo instances in Titanium Backup. There's quite a few, so make sure they are not frozen.
Second, check to see if you have the xposed framework installed. If it is installed, un-install it and reboot. See if action memo works via Air command.
If Action Memo works after that, you can reinstall xposed framework. This is how I got mine working again. Hope it helps

Man I wish I could be giving you a positive confirmation that it works... But it doesn't. I uninstalled xposed & all modules, confirmed all 3 action memo files aren't frozen or disabled and rebooted several times. Still no action memo in any form (air command, lock screen or app). I'm so frustrated over this one stupid thing it's ridiculous.
Only thing left for me to try is to move my titanium backup off device and go to stock and back.

Samsung replaced Action Memo with S Note. Old memos are stored as jpg in a device folder, actionmemo. They can be viewed and deleted but not modified.

Yes, I had to go to stock - it turned out that I had deleted (not frozen) one of the associated apps with Action memo. When I went back to stock it worked right away.

I'd suggest going back to a stock base and not touching any apps surrounding action memo - and unless you're positive it's not associated with action menu, leave it. Then try freezing the ones you're questionable about one by one and see which can be safely removed and still let action memo still function. Best suggestion there amigo! :good:

[GUIDE] Speed up and customise Note 2014

Root
This guide assumes that you have rooted your tablet.
Instructions to do so can be found here:
P600 - Wifi only model
P605 - Lte model
Disabling Apps
Why?
Disabling Apps can have a significant performance improvement. A lot of apps startup on boot and use a little bit of ram to cache. Disabling the apps/services you don't need will free up some of the ressources.
Instructions:
Keep the apps you need and if you are not sure rather keep an app more. You can disable a lot more if you know what you are doing. You can either disable/freeze using Titanium Backup Pro or ROM Toolbox Lite. If you do it that way the apps will still be enabled if you create a second user on your tablet. You should rename the apks to .bak in /system/app then they should be gone globally. You can do this with the free ES File Explorer, just make sure to select root "Root Explorer" under Tools and to mount /system/app as r/w through the menu you get by clicking on "Root Explorer".
This is the list of apps you can safely disable.

Keep these under all circumstances:
SystemUI
Other things:
Animations:
Increasing the speed of animations can make it feel faster, because you are not waiting on the animations to finish. Disabling the animations can make it feel very fast, but if you like animations you might as well keep them.
To be able to change the animation speed you first need to enable developer options:
Open settings
Navigate to General -> About device
Tap on "Build number" 7 times
You should get a notification "You are now 4,3,2,1 taps away from being a developer
Open up the developer settings
Scroll down to "Drawing"
You can change Window/Transition/Animator animation scale. I would advise setting them to 0.5 or disabling them
Nova Launcher
This launcher is one of the fastest. If you go into "Nova Settings" under "Look and feel" you can set the "Scroll Speed" and "Animation Speed" to Faster than light. This will make the tab feel like a rocket.
Customize Apps for MultiWindow
Download and install the Xposed Framework
Open Xposed installer
Go into Framework
Select Install/Update
Download/Install MultiWindowManager
Open it and select the apps you want to be able to use in MultiWindow
Reboot
Now when you press on edit in MultiWindow you can select all your apps
Factory Resetting / Updating to newest firmware
There have been several updates from samsung which drastically increase the performance. Make sure you are on the newest available firmware. Also if you are experiencing lag or any issues it might be a good idea to start from scratch. You can search on Sammobile for your device number and download the firmwares. You can also download firmwares from other countries and flash them with Odin. For example I'm using ML1 from Taiwan atm even though I'm in Germany. Just be aware that there might be differences between the firmwares. But make 100% sure that your device number matches. You have to extract the file you downloaded and put the tar.md5 file into the "pda" slot. This will wipe your internal sd card completely, including your data, so backup because everything will be gone.
If this helped you let me know and if you have suggestions I can add them to the OP.

iPad sucks. Yes it's fast, and the apps look good, but that's it. If you want to do any actual work on it, or watch whatever show or movie you throw at it, or really multi-task, it blows.

Cool, hope that your device will perform as well as mine when you apply the guide.
There are several limitation with iOS that make it harder to do serious work. You tried and saw for yourself... And I doubt there will be a stylus ever, I recall Steve saying at the launch event that it's easy to use, works with your finger, a pen would just add an additional layer of complexity.

Yes let us know what your experiences are. I've always thought iOS was too restricting overall but with 7, they seemed to make it a bit more flexible.

Well I got the Air on Friday and tried it all through today, when I finally had enough. iOS 7, in my opinion, is “prettier”, but functionally, nothing has changed.
You still need iTunes if you want to put any movies on it, you still don’t have any access to folders, and it’s generally the same walled garden it has always been.
Very happy to be back on Android.

Yes, this is a very good tip. All that software piled up on top of each other can cause issues.
Any device that updates i'll do the ol' factory reset afterwards to run at optimal performance.

Issue: Facebook app issue when close with back button

*This has been asked in the S8+ forum, but since I am using the S8, I would like to relay the message here,
Guys, I have noticed that, about 2 days ago, the Facebook app began to create a weird issue when I click the back button to close the app. Someone already made a video clip as seen below to illustrate the issue. Does anyone have the same issue and found a way to fix it? This hiccup really annoys me

I really don't know what causes this issue. Maybe Facebook app is the one to blame since I am using Nova launcher and the other guys use stock launcher.

I am also using the stock launcher. Probably is the facebook app as you said. Tested almost all my apps but it's the only one with the problem.

I'm 99% sure there's something wrong with their adaptation to full screen mode and it forces a redraw once you exit. It's been annoying the heck out of me.

I think I found a work-around solution for this issue temporarily. This is how I did:
1. Changed your default launcher to stock Samsung.
2. Restarted the device.
3. Changed the launcher to Nova.
4. Changed the Facebook icon to something else.
5. Clicked on Facebook app, used the back button .... and the wallpaper didn't jump!
I updated to the new OTA today, and the problem came back. However, when I went through the same steps, the issue stopped. Give it a try, guys!

I have the S8 and noticed this too, but I never took note of which app caused it. Now I know it's Facebook

I am unique.butt From Softlinks.
The Solution is so simple click and hold on Facebook App icone Then go into app info and scroll down and find the option (Appear On Top) disable this option now your Facebook app will close with back key if you fave similar problem with ither android app you can do this with those apps as well i hope you will like this solution thanks.
