Is anyone else having the browser crashing while browsing. Nothing repeatable but from time to time it crashes and just dumps you back to the desktop, no warning or error message.
That has not happened to me, but I have noticed that at times, the browser is just super slow. Pages won't load, etc. It's not my connection, YouTue loads fine, and so does Doplhin Browser.
This has been happening to me as well, not only the browser though other apps as well. I would go as far as to say every app I have used has crashed on me a minimum of twice yes EVERY app I have used. I just received my gt10.1 today so it might just be stretching pains.

I have the same issue. Like you said, nothing repeatable, almost kind of random, but it closes down completely... this has also happened in other apps, in addition to multiple force closes in apps.
Yep..I noticed it FC's on me mostly when I'm forums..never other sites.
On my 10.1v the browser is crashing at every start so i cant use the stock browser. Other apps crashing to. Yesterday the gfx at my live wallpaper was overwritten by an other programm or task. I think there are a lot of bugs in honeycomb but this can also be an hardware problem. Anyone here without problems/crashes on 3.0?

Yep. mine crashed three times trying to view one particular website. I finally gave up.
Some apps crashing too, and the Yahoo mail app is LAME. My phone does a better job than the 10.1 displaying Yahoo mail. Tab forces you to open any email containing HTML in the browser. LAME.
I see what people mean when they say Honeycomb is not ready for prime time.

using my 10.1v for about a month now, i've never had such serious problems. just 3 or 4 fc, different apps, not repeatable.
go into setting, applications and clear the data from your stock browser. then you might be able to use it again.

Thanks, clearing the browsers data and cache works fine...
me too
I have the same issue. Glad to see its not just me. It just dumps and goes to the desktop. I just got this today and not too excited about the browser failing right out of the bo
Stock browser crashes on me too. It will randomly freeze when accessing web pages and then home and back button does not work. I have to hit them multiple times before it goes back home and sometimes the only way to fix it is by rebooting the device.
Anyone had the same freezing experience?

I've had this happen a few times. Try force stopping the app and clearing data like mentioned in a previous post. I had this happen in the YouTube app as well while trying to search for a video. It wouldn't return any results and crash until I force stopped the app in settings. Once I did that I was able to re open the YouTube app and find the video with no problem.

My brower crashes often when browsing forums.clubsi.com
It seems some sites make the browser crash
Im having the same issues. I was using dolphin browser HD and the stock browser. This error seems to occur in both.. for me it seems like it was more video/flash sites.
Yes, stock browser crashes, but crashes less than 3rd party browsers which is why I've stuck with it so far.
I too am having this problem. As far as I can tell it has happened mostly if not always on forum sits for me as well. I am subscribing to this thread hoping someone will figure out what is happening and help us fix it.
Oh, I just tried force stopping the browser and clearing data. Within five minutes it crashed again.
me too... once crashed, i reboot device. i find that whenever i change the viewing mode from mobile to desktop while browsing gmail, my browser crashes. and of coz some other sites too
anyone?
Yup, mine crashes on sites that have a lot of newer HTML5 ads or complex javascript. I have flash turned to OnDemand so it shouldn't be causing any browser FC's. I also see crashes on sites that have a lot of images on them which has led me to thing it's crashing due to memory issues.
yeah me to. crashes on certain websites. techradar is one it allways crashes on. im pretty disgusted that they`ve let this bug make it to the retail version, this and the high pitch noise issue really get my back up!!
sort it out samsung ffs
Same here. One way that is repeatable on my end is when following a link to track a UPS shipment. I try to open the link from my email to the lenovo site, and it never makes it - drops to desktop every time. However, I've also had random crashes while trying to load flash, simply browsing, etc.
HC definitely needs some more spit and polish, but so far I'm liking it. Also, the Opera Mobile Browser, atm, is the best one that I've tried, among stock, Miren, and Dolphin HD. However, they all have occasional crashes.
Running tasks v5 rom, much better than before, but still get a lot of freezes (forcing a hard reset by me) or force closes where the browser disappears. Nyone else getting these yet?
No browser freeze on mine.
I have problem accessing seekingalpha.com. Browser (stock) wouldn't load content and than just chrashes. It happens everytime, with no exeptions. Could someone try to open it and let me know what happens?

I'm not web expert, so I don't know what's going on with this site, or in what "technology" is it written. But, they have changed site recently, and since than it started to be extremely slow on my HTC Desire (Gingerbread), like beating the hell out of the processor. And now I found out that crashes Honeycomb browser.
Is there any way to contact Google to point them to this problem? I couldn't find it...
Opera or Dolphin can open it. But also, there are some rendering problems in Dolphin with left column (adds and some links on the top). It's dynamic (moving with you as you scroll the page), so that could be source of the problem.
I haven't had a problem with this site really, mostly when the keyboard is up (using Swiftkey) or quickly scrolling. Also other things like samsung email app and a few games seem to cause problems.
All seems very random and infrequent, can't find a pattern to them yet.
Just got my first browser FC today, happened twice when trying to add a bookmark
could this be a hardware problem? The tab freezes several times a day, usually on the browser (use that the most too), also in exchange email app and various games. It's driving me nuts. Tried every rom out there as well as stock and pershoots kernel.
Anyone have any ideas? It's driving me crazy and I'm curious if I could have a serious problem or if it's something the right update could fix.
I use Dolphin for Pad browser (not Dolphin mini or HD). Never had a FC.
tried dolphin. No difference.
have u tried the v6.1, got some (few) lags on v5 but v6.1 is smooth (for me) now
Yes, I've tried 5,6, 6.1,overcome, starburst. Makes no difference.
In Dolphin use the desktop agent instead of Android. It' their mobile site that causes the problem. If your rooted you should be able to set the stock browser to desktop also.
Has anybody been using this browser on Nexus 4? I started and I really like it; less hangups than chrome, better interface (I like the disappearing url bar) than dolphin imo.
However, I noticed that it seems to be giving a wakelock any time a page has been opened, but the window has not been cleared from the recent apps list (this is all according to BBS).
I was just wondering if other N4 users had experienced this or used this app, and what your opinion on it was. Also, is there a different browser for the N4 you guys would recommend?

I`m a next browser user. Realy like it, fast and easy to use. And when i browse the web i get a popup message to use tapatalk if the web site support it. I know chrome also got this, but i find it not to work so well.
Yes, i have noticed that it got some wake locks. But not for long, its also possible to exit the app easy from setting menu

I had been using Next for a while now. But a couple days ago I replaced it with Firefox because Next had trouble downloading some files from Drive. If there was other aberrant behavior it wasn't noticable to me in use.
I use Chrome, but you can try Firefox or Opera. Every browser has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Tried dolphin browser which has long been my favourite due to desktop mode. But it's been very laggy and stuttering to use on my note 4,as compared to note 3. Can you please share what browser you prefer on the note 4 and why?
I have Dolphin for flash when I need flash,
other than that I use the touchwiz browser because it allows scrolling when hovering the spen at the top and bottom of the screen when chrome doesn't
Chrome has been fine for me. No problems whatsoever.

I'm using Firefox and it doesn't seem laggy. Am I wrong?
Chrome:
- reliable
- password sync
- tab sync (which I use a lot between my Android, desktop and ios devices)
- formats websites perfectly
EDIT: I actually run both Chrome and Chrome beta, each with separate google profiles, and it works wonderfully.
For me dolphin was all round the best. Sadly until they update it it's pretty much useless on note 4. I agree the default browser is best for browsing at the moment with no lag.
Firefox, because I can long-press on an image and share it to Hangouts without having to download the image.
Chrome is the best all round browser IMO

Agreed i used dolphin for the longest putting up with the crashes and freezing because of the extra features but enough is enough. Stock browser for me on my note 4

Dolphin had an update a few days ago and after updating and turning of java script under settings. It's usable now but had to turn of java script and also set flash to be on demand instead of on always.
I'm tired and just use Chrome. It syncs across all devices and home computers. And now that Amazon deemed android worthy of prime video I'm finally finding flash less important.

Opera Beta has text reflow when resizing and a menu along the bottom of the screen, which is good for one-handed operation of a phone with such a big screen.
What's the best browser for flash? I like to watch sports with adthe.net and can't find a browser that work

Thx i may return
I used to be on Dolphin but it's so laggy... Right now I'm using Chrome. They get you hooked because it's most likely your desktop/laptop/tablet browser and it syncs everything....
Opera Next.
Fast, reliable.
Chrome was slow on note 1. Yes it is faster on note 4. But opera is even faster.
Really need a browser that allows desktop view to load always, been using Dolphin but it has been annoying me as it has bugs. Firefox doesn't have tab view like in Chrome or Dolphin. Chrome doesn't have always desktop which is ridiculous as it came installed on my note 12.2, also it's bookmark area just sucks. UC browser HD doesn't work with SwiftKey as auto correct is non existent for some reason. I've tried others, all the popular ones and each one has some usage breaking quirk. I need a browser with desktop view and sync bookmarks and unfortunately I have been forced to use Dolphin for years as its the most complete package out of them all.
One that I've previously used was opera on my LG g2 and it was decent. Just at the time the sync feature was in future plans. Might try it again when I recieve my note 4

My phone is G530H and rooted method by Mohan..
First issue: when using Google Chrome and stock browser. It freeze for a almost 5mins and sometimes more than 5mins...
I disabled the JavaScript and after that it run smoothly...
I found solution here forum.xda-developers.com/grand-prime/help/phone-freeze-using-browser-t3083428
but Is there a way to use Chrome without that lag? or any better rom? I can use aosp 4.4.2 browser if there's no other option...
Second Issue: I experiencing a bit lag while playing... did you ever felt a bit lag or delay while playing CoC or any other games?
Is there a working and tested custom rom faster than the stock?
Any reply is appreciated...
Sorry my English xD....
Mine is rooted free of bloatware, remove all most anything related to google, I only keep with youtube, maps, g+, install cloudmagic as my email client for Gmail and Outlook, greenify Facebook, Twitter and some others,, and my phone runs really smooth, no lag, browser is really fast, using aosp 4.4.2, chrome eat to much ram, game are OK, not the best experience, but one or two lag is OK.

Thanks for your concern...
So there's no way I can use Chrome without that lag and freeze? I think it's because of Javascript and it's trying to run like Chrome in PC...
Did you delete your stock browser using root apps like System app remover(Root), and installe AOSP 4.4.2?
I read the method and the first one to install is like Providerproxy.apk @ system folder and G530H don't have that APK...
Did you install it directly? what is that Providerproxy.apk for, anyways?
I just use titanium, remove all the bloatware and Google stuff with it, the default Samsung browser and then install the aosp 4.4.2 browser like a normal apk, that is all I did, don't have my favorite page and sincro with pc, but I prefer this way.
