[Q] Chrome empty page problem - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know whats wrong when chrome almost always opens new page as blank, it starts to load, then it just show blank page?
If you click on screen the page is in background and if you click in right place it opens links etc.
Only way to display page correctly is to press home button and open chrome again, then page shows up correctly.
Really annoying bug and happens many times a day! (tried both, normal and beta chrome)
[EDIT] this bug is not rom/phone related, my wifes nexus 5 with different rom has this too...

Yeah, same thing happening here. Also you can swipe left/right on the address bar, to change tab, and go back to "blank" one, now it will show correctly.
This start happening i think before 2 updates.
Though I haven't found anything about that bug. I tried cleaning both, data and cache, with no help.

Been getting it a lot lately, not sure if it was a chrome update or the fact I've been dirty flashing custom roms lately.

I was so mad with this bug, that i tried clean flash, and first page i tried to open was empty... :|

Fun fact, happens alot on the desktop version, atleast for me but I think it has to do with flash.

It's down to chrome itself, not the rom.
If I remember correctly, I had it even while using 4.4.2, now I'm on 4.4.3
As I mentioned, bug was here from last 2 or 3 chrome update.
Also, I don't have this problem in chrome on my pc.

Internet Explorer spontaneously shuts down

My pocket IE closes on its own from time to time. Has anybody else had this problem? I can't isolate the cause, but it seems to happen whenever I'm scrolling using the bar on the right, or when I try to scroll while pages are still loading. It doesn't happen consistently so I can't say for sure. I tried searching Hermes_Problems, wiki, and searched forums but couldn't find a relevant thread.
I have seen this happen if you have your temp. files and cookies, etc. set to your storage card.
Try changing that and see what happens

Yes it does happen. However it is not closing down it is merely minimising itself. So if you install a task manager that shows an icons for open applications on the task bar, all you have to do is tap the iIE icon and back up it comes exactly on the page you were on. I forget now if the likes of Magic Button task manager shows the iconson the task bar - I think it does. (So might be worth installing it?)

I'm pretty sure mine closes it altogether. when i open IE back up it starts at the default screen. I know when i press the red hang-up button it minimizes IE because I can open it back up to the page I was browsing, so I know that's not it. hmmmmm...... defective model? it must be a software problem but it didn't go away with my flashing to WM6.

No continual scrolling in browser and text wrapping - Gingerbread ROM

Hi guys,
I have updated my device to Gingerbread however the stock browser does not scroll all the way down. It seems to stop and then i can scroll and then stop again. Its really annoying but i cannot seem to find any setting for this. I have tried another browser and it does not do this anymore.
Also the stock browser doesnt seem to text wrap anymore.
Has anybody experienced this as well?
Anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this?
Thanks,

It's a known Bug in Samsungs Gingerbread Roms
I'm running JVO, downloaded directly from Samsung servers.
I have a complex page with several panes and 20 pictures opened on the browser. If I swipe the finger slowly up, it scrolls almost to the end, if I do it faster, it scrolls to the bottom of the page.
To have the text wrap and fit the screen width you have to activate that option on settings, by default it's inactive.
Zooming on the browser also works fine, I don't see what other people are complaining about on other threads.
its not a bug, the stock browser dose it it self,on the gingerbread roms the stock browser is morelike a IOS its dos not scroll all the way down, it scrolls 2-3 pages at one time!!! search before u make a new thread!
and about the text wraping, look into you settings.

why would you want to scroll 2-3 pages ??
if it was a feature, there would be a setting to disable it...
I have JVO as well but mine doesnt browse smoothly across the whole page.
vcespon I don't understand why yours is not doing this as well
I have 2.3.3, i9000xxjvo
Same problem here pretty annoying!

[Q] Boat Browser, rearranging favorites

How do you rearrange the bookmarks in your favorites by dragging? I see that you can hit that little icon on the bottom middle of the page when viewing your favorites and arrange the icons alphabetically, by time viewed,etc., but I used to be able to rearrange them any way I wanted by dragging and dropping. Did that go away with the latest update?

I emailed Boat support the same question and no answer yet. But I found it on my own.
Go to the Home page that shows the speed dial bookmarks and long press on the very first icon (it didn't happen when I just long pressed on the page itself), and a Manage scareen appears. Click Manage and then you can drag things around.
My bigger problem with Boat, however, is that it uploaded automatically to a new version and now it CRASHES within a minute no matter which web site I am on.
I Uninstalled and reinstalled Boat but within a few minutes, the crashing reoccurred.
In face all of my browsers, except Chrome, seem to be crashing now.
I may have to do a Factory Reset but it's a hassle to reload all my bookmarks again.

That moves the speed dial icons around but I am talking about the bookmarks. That doesn't seem to work for the bookmarks.
Bummer about the crashes. Boat works OK for me except the loss of ability to move my bookmarks around.

[Q] Chrome / Blank Screen

Does anyone else get blank screens when loading up Chrome and navigating to a page? It'll do this fairly regularly throughout the day whether I load a bookmark or type something in the address bar or whatever.
I have to close the tab and start up a new one before it starts working again. And then after an hour or maybe less, it'll happen again. Over and over.

I have been getting extreme lag from Chrome on our phones lately. Wonder why.

I get it too. It loads and then stops with the blue bar at about 75%. If you hit the stop loading button at this point the page will appear. Hopefully will be fixed soon..

Cursor and Dialog Box icons glitch faulty incorrect

Hi Everyone,
Recently my phone was updated to Android v7 and since then I noticed that the icons for the cursor in text boxes and system dialog boxes have got messed up.
I read on Android central, one user posted that uninstalling Kaspersky fixed the issue, although in my case I don't have Kaspersky, so I can't go about uninstalling all apps, got a hell lot of them!

It's frustrating everytime i see this... Please help me...
I think I'm having a similar issue... the cursor locator (below the cursor which points to it) is the wrong size. I tried changing resolutions, nothing fixed it. This also happens when text is selected by long pressing, the selector graphics are too large and it gets cut off. It was working fine when phone was new, I cannot remember at which point it started messing up. Possibly after Oculus VR first changed the screen resolution to WQHD? I set it back to FHD for normal use, but problem persists.
Pertinent Info:

G930FXXU1DQD7 BTU firmware
phone not rooted

Maybe found a clue.... this problem seems to occur everywhere, except in a few apps, namely Signal and FB Messenger and FB itself. I thought it might be only in Gapps, but it happens in a few apps that are not part of Gapps. I have seen other people had issues with the little on/off sliders for options in different menu screens under setting, but mine all look fine.

I have those glitches as well apart from what i posted.
I read online its because of some app messing things up. I seriously don't want to reset and start testing this out one app at a time. It will take at least a few days to get back up to speed.
Thanks :crying:
