Constantly refreshing (chrome,Wikipedia mobile, bacon reader(Reddit) etc. - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Constantly( every 5 min or so) refreshing and making me lose my spot on page. Even my chess app does it in the middle of a game. I have gone back to stock and did a clean install . I have cleared my cache and data. It's real annoying.

browser crashes randomly

Sometimes I'll be in the browser on a website and the browser will randomly shut down and take me to my homepage. No message pops up saying something went wrong though. I just got my tablet yesterday and already this has happened 7-10 times. Does this happen to other people or am I the only one? Is there anything I can do to fix it?
I have the A501, but my browser has done the same thing a few times. It only seemed to happen when i had a really bad connection though. Don't know if that had any factor in it. Usually its fine though
same here
I think its coding on the website.this happened far less with the new dolphin browser but I like stock browser better.
Giggles are for blonde chics back off there mine
No guarantee that this will work for you, but you could give it a shot.
It very well could be coding on the page as was suggested earlier. Especially if it always happens on a particular site.
For your applications that are force closing or are acting buggy, try this procedure to see if it may correct the behaviors:
Go to Settings >> Applications >> Manage applications >> All tab, select the application that is giving you problems, and press the Force stop button if the application is still running and then to wipe the data press the Clear data and Clear cache buttons as well.
NOTE: THIS WILL RESET THE APPLICATION AND ERASE ANY APPLICATION STORED DATA UNLESS ITS SAVED TO MEMORY.
If this does not correct the issues, then try uninstalling and then reinstall the application.

Yup
It happens to me from time to time, usually when I'm looking around on failblog for some reason. I just go to my history so I can easily go back to the last page I was looking at.
Stock 3.1, latest update.
Its an old and known problem. Unfortunatly 3.1 didn't solve it. Switching off Java does but thats not a satisfieing solution.
Browser keeps shutting down
I'm having the same issue right now and can't seem to use the browser for more than 2 mins its really getting on my nerve. How can I view video when the JavaScript is turned off? For once, why can't this device not have faults regarding basic functions?

It seems that a good question here would also be, "What browsers are you all using? And have they all shown the same behavior?"
I have the default Chrome, then I also have Firefox and Dolphin. I know there are others as well.
my tab had this issue as well. i notice that when adblocker is running it doesnt happen near as often. i suspect pop up ads are responsible. your experience with failblog makes me more sure.
Hmmm..... I don't ever have that problem with the Dolphin HD browser.
This happens a least once a day for me. But it happens randomly, on any page. Even if i just try and open the browser to the home page it'll occasionally close on its own.

[Q] Lag during txt messaging

I have a stock S5 that I just bought. After a couple days I started noticing an extremely long delay when doing anything with text messages. I hit send and it just sits there. I can't hit back or anything. The home button will take me home. When sending I don't even see my message until everything returns. Anyone have any idea what may be causing this? TIA
Try clear data/cache and force stop for the app?

Thanks for the reply. I gave that a try with no luck. I cleared cache but afraid to clear data because it says it will permanently delete everything.

Clear data will clear all your messages and makes the app like its still new. Probably a corrupted message file or anything can affect its performance.

So it will delete my messages?
This seems to be a well known issue with the S5 although the suggestions don't seem to fix my problem. The solutions also say to clear cache and data on the Samsung keyboard.
Maybe power-saving mode? It kinda lags the mobile. Reduces performance of some stuff to lag to save some battery. Not sure tho

You can back up text messages, i would try that and clear data, see how it goes, if it does nothing then just restore the back up.

Power saving mode is off. I thought this was related to using the Samsung Smart Switch app to recover everything from my iPhone. So I deleted everything, cleared the cache and data from the message app and the Samsung keyboard app. No luck with that either. However, I did discover the AT&T app for messaging that came pre-loaded on the phone and remembered another article that suggested trying another default messaging app. So I did and that seems to work much better. I know it's not a fix, but at least it's a workaround I can live with. I actually like this app because I have text, call history, and my visual voicemail all in one app.
There are plenty of complaints around the internet about this "bug" so maybe it will be something that gets addressed in Lollipop next month.
Mine lags because of the amount of messages I have stored. Will try to clear cache, but I don't think it works
Well if you looking for a messaging app, google's messenger app is pretty good too!

European honor 7 stutter/lag

I received my honor 7 this week and im generally pleased with it.
The only issue thats starting to get annoying is the lag and stuttering while scrolling through any menu or app.
I've made sure its in performance mode. I assume the govenor is being to aggressive on the downclocking.
Anyone else having this problem

No stuttering here;nor have I read that anyone else has this issue..
Ok thanks guys, think I might do a few factory resets.

I've hade mine for a week now and have not hade a singel stuttering!
Skickat från min PLK-L01 via Tapatalk
Stutter and lag can happen once in a while, which is there on even the best of phones. Besides that you might notice a small lag if you restart the phone and stock apps start for the first time. Or soon after installing a new rom might lag as well for a minute.
Did factory resetting fix this problem? I am having the same lag in scrolling, since I received the phone. Am thinking about factory resetting now.

Are you using the default theme? I have noticed that with some of the themes I have tried there is a problem with lag or stuttering between home screens. This is not the case with most themes, but some of them seem a bit badly put together as they can cause problems. The one I'm using at the moment (Lyle's Golden Age) is completely lag-free. I found the original theme so ugly that I removed it immediately and I can't remember if it had a problem.
This problem seems to be of a software nature and if you use Nova launcher there should be no problem.

I am not using the default theme. I tried Lyle's Golden Age to check, but still stuttering.
I use the Google Now Launcher, where it is really obvious.
When I swipe to the left to get to the now part, the device has to load the list. Takes like half a second.

Ok then, this is nothing I have seen at all! In your situation I would suspect a bad app and so I would firstly try to uninstall apps one at a time and if this didn't help, factory reset.
BTW, what is your firmware version and where did you buy it?

Bought it from Vmall, EU version.
Firmware version PLK-L01C432B121.
I might just do a factory reset.
Strange things are happening, and I think this lagging is happening since the first boot.
Your phone is 100% smooth?
Like if you open an app that has a scrolling list and immediately start to scroll, it doesn't lag and keep running a little bit when you stop?

I can only remember two apps from the top of my head that have had this behaviour, and that is the default web browser and Tapatalk. I use Chrome for web browsing and with it there are no problems at all. Tapatalk has improved over the latest versions, so if I just wait a second before starting to scroll there is no problem.
Other apps are super smooth right away. Name an app that you have problems with and I will test it.

I just downloaded doubletwist player, where if I add a podcast (W&W mainstage) it will lag hard if I scroll up and down fast the list of episodes.
The whole app overall is a little bit slow for some reason.
If you want to try that one, I would be very interested to know what you experience.

I tried it a bit and Went to the Games and Hobbies pod section and it seems completely smooth on my phone. The list and icons has to be fetched first, but apart from the online downloading time the list is smooth to scroll. There are hundreds of pods so you can't expect them to load instantly. When it says Reading... at the bottom it has to stop and this has nothing to do with the phone.

I have a hard time distinguishing between something just still loading in while scrolling or just lagging.
I took the same list you just said, and if I load like 200 things and then scroll trough that list it is smooth until is suddenly jumps a bit.
Then it is smooth again, and then again a little jump and skipping a few podcasts and stuff.
That doesn't happen for you?

No, if I let it load 200 podcasts and scroll fast through that list it runs comlpetely smooth and stops only if I put my finger on it. It rolls almost all the way down to the last entry if I swipe fast with my finger.

Do that and do NOT reinstall a backup of apps or settings, only contacts or so. As little as possible as some app or setting, in that order, probably is the cause of your problem.
Good luck!!

If you have sd-card mounted, first try to unmount and remove this, it might have problems that result in stutter.
I already did the factory reset several times and Updated the phone to B140 and continue with a lot of lag in apps and between screens.
I come from a Nexus5, I don't know if is my perception of smooth that is to high.
Anyone else feel the same?
I dont have problems either.
Was really smooth on B140, now with Android 6 even more.

Background apps closing by themselves

Hi everyone,
this problem is following me in every rom I try!
CM, Stock, 5.1.1, 5.0.1, it does'nt matter, in every rom I face this problem....
you see, music is playing in background and some other apps like Hotspot shield are running in background at the same time... as soon as i open firefox, music player completely shuts off and so does hotspot shield...
in every rom I face this problem so now I'm starting to think maybe its a hardware issue... could it be a hardware issue?
anyone with the same issue?
I have Flyme installed on my phone and its a good rom and I dont want to change it, even if I change it im sure the problem with come to me again in other roms, so help me fix this
Android closes apps when it is low on memory (RAM).
I don't think its related to that, I have plenty of ram when that happens, besides, closing all background apps at once?
and why does this always happen when I open a web browser?

I just told you in my previous reply.
Maybe that web browser uses all the memory.
Or does it happen with every web browser?

I don't have alot of apps running in background, 2GB of RAM and still its not enough for a web browser and a music player beside 5 or 6 other apps that each of 'em need 60 to 70mb of RAM? That's strange
I tried 3 or 4 different web browsers, Chrome, Stock web browser, Firefox, and some other browsers... all the same
This guy also has the same problem:

Maybe one of your apps causes the issues. After all, you changed several ROMs (clean wiped I assume) and the only constant would be the user apps you always install/restore after a flash.

Go one by one and install and uninstall apps, while repeatedly trying to run the ones you stated in your first post. If there is an app causing that problem, just try doing some old fashioned process of elimination.

Facebook crash on Android P

Every time I click on the comment button of a post the Facebook app crashes. Anyone else with the same issue?
With as crappy as the coding on Facebooks app is who knows. I have not seen this and I am on 9
Hmm, discouraging. I've cleared cache, deleted data, uninstalled and installed the app to no avail.
I am on totally stock unrooted 9
I am having similar lockups on multiple apps. Stock-unrooted aug 6 build of P and I tried a full device reset.
Not seeing any app issues same release of P ...hmm have you done a cache clear on the device? Meaning the os not indevidual apps.

I get exactly the same thing on my stock Pixel 2 XL since upgrading to Pie. However, it works fine on a Pixel 1.
I've tried uninstalling FB and re-installing and no joy.
The Facebook Lite app works ok, but that's garbage and doesn't have all the functionality I need.

Being out of the scene for a while, how do you delete the dalvic cache... ie how do you put the PH-1 in recovery, and do you have the delete cache in stock recovery?
Edit : I did put the phone in recovery mode but, as I expected, the stock recovery image does not have the delete cache option like a custom recovery. Hmm surprised to read that not even a factory reset solved the issue.
I've never used the FB app. Who knows what it is doing when you aren't using it, even if it is closed/stopped.
Better way...open your browser, instead of going to www.facebook.com, go to www.m.facebook.com which
loads the mobile version, and in your browser settings, you can always use the desktop version if needed.

More likely an issue with your Facebook account. Facebook has AI doing code corrections all the time in the background. They also sometimes fubar stuff and then correct it a couple of days later. This has happened to my account more than once.
Mystery of Technology... LOL, no, more like Bugs of Technology, and Pie just came out, so expect plenty of them until it matures a bit...
