Chrome doesn't open pages - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Sometimes Chrome won't open pages after address is entered. Screen just stays blank.
The only thing that helps - close all tabs, close chrome and then start chrome again. No luck without closing all the tabs.
I cleared the cache - same happens again.
Can't reinstall chrome as it is system app.
Anybody has the same problem?

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.

Browser app issue. Any ideas?

This has been bugging me for a while now and I wonder if it bugs other people too.
When launching a link from a web page and then returning to the same web page the browser doesn't return to the point on the page where the link was. It goes back to the top of the page. Meaning I then have to scroll to the part of the page where I was before.
This is really annoying. Any ideas how to rectify this issue? It happens in the stock browser and dolphin.
sent from my mind to yours using the power of suggestion
as far as im aware mate thats how it is mine does it too. could try typing in the url bar about:debug and that opens more settings at the bottom of the browser settings. try that

wtf browser possessed???

OK so for about the past few days, for some unx/plained reason as I'm typing text into any portion of a browser field. The browser suddenly closes and either just launches me back to the homescreen or more recently starts opening other apps. Prior to this I was having some issues with the software keyboard closing on me when i would type to fast. Now this.
Anyone elsenwith similar???

[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 empty page problem

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.
