Software will force close out of nowhere and the screen will go black and return me to the screen I was on but then I would have to scroll down. The app will sometimes crash completely. Facebook and youtube and even twitter do this.
Then the swype keyboard doesn't always work in firefox.
Sometimes an error will come up telling me "unfortunately setup wizard has stopped working" out of nowhere. A Google search shows me results for older or rooted phone doing it on initial setup (actually being in setup wizard)

Sounds like an issue with your phone. Have you tried factory resetting, thus ensures is not an app you downloaded. If it still has the bugs with no user apps might want to take it back to the store and get a new one.

This is my second vibrant and I have noticed that after browsing web for s small amount of time the browsers keeps closing suddenly and returning to home screen... This happened on my first vibrant as well... Is anyone else suffering from this issue or knows a way to fix this?

Yes this happens, hopefully they will fix it.
There are two options to remedy the situation for now.
1st, go into your browser settings and uncheck plug-ins.
Personally this didn't work for me
2nd option which works flawlessly. The second option is to visit desktop versions of websites. For example, if I visit mobile version of google, it just randomly exits. So what I did is set my homepage to the full desktop version. Since google is my homepage, i went into settings, and typed out the full path for google desktop view into my start page settings.
Again, if your browser randomly closes, try visiting full page views.
I've also noticed this is linked to the GPS issue. Some sites try to get your location. If the site starts trying to find your location, and your gps is bust, the browser just exits.
you could try a 3rd party browser like dolphin or skyfire.

It has been confirmed that on the Mobile version of Google, the "nearest location" check activates the GPS which crashes the browser.
Turn off the GPS. Open a webpage to Google search and finger "Classic" which is half way down the page. This will switch you to the original Google site so that its not trying to get your location when you open a browser window. If a site is trying to use your location it will happen, but in my experience it has only been on mobile sites using location tracking.
There is a setting to turn off - allow websites to request access to your location. Would that help?
This isn't necessarily a location settings issue. It could be a flash issue. When visiting some pages with flash content, the browser will suddenly close and return you to the homescreen. If this is the case, it will happen every time you visit a particular page, and it will also happen with skyfire and Dolphin HD (at least on the 2 phones I have tried them on). Only option to fix this problem is to disable plug-ins in the browser settings.
Good Luck.
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?
Spenzerx
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.
Hi guys,
Thought I'd share, does anyone else find the gmaps app force close when getting directions? it runs ok when I start it and after a couple of seconds after looking for directions the map itself goes blank and then the app shuts down. I tried clearing the apps data a cache but still the same.
Surprisingly (and I'm being ironic), this started after the ICS update.
Has anybody else been getting this? ASUS and google, this is for you!
Yes, I get this often. It's like the Gmail problem I also get sometimes.
Check out the Google Maps reviews on Google Play, the website version, filtered for ASUS Transformer TF101 owners only. Almost all of them are having these problems lately.
Same thing with Gmail. Filter the reviews for TF101 only and sort by newest first. Almost all reviews having problems with Gmail lately.
Count me in. Both apps work for awhile after a reboot then begin to do as described.
Same here. Google maps trying to find your gps location causes maps to blank then force close. Update after update still same issues. Asus email widget gets stuck without updating how many new emails etc. When in inbox just freezes and FC.
YOUTUBE is always flickering when you type to search.
I am using Megatron 1.04 CM9 build but don't think it is issue with rom. All this happened after ICS update. Asus and Google really ****ed up this OS upgrade. So many issues with their own OS and their OWN apps not integrating properly is just bad PR for both hardware and software. Makes one wonder if they bothered with any QA at all.
good point about the flickering Youtube app.. also, if you have your keyboard plugged in, when you hit space while typing in the search field, it skips through videos! seems as the space as a navi key overrides space as the space key, if this makes sense.. all of those are GOOGLE native apps and I just can't believe the bogus stuff ASUS and GOOGLE released and still have not fixed!
I just got my white 16gb yesterday afternoon. I've been experiencing lag since the first minute (scrolling through the market, flipping through pages of the home screen, etc.). After downloading some of my apps, every time i open up the Task Manager or App manager i get a "Unfortunately, Task Manager has stopped" or "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" message after a few seconds without touching anything. Went to verizon store this morning, the lady saw the issue and said she had to wipe the phone to reset it to factory settings. After that was done, she said if it happens again, I could come in tomorrow (July 12, actual launch date) and get it replaced with a new one. I asked her if she could reserve one for me (since they will probably be sold out quickly) just incase the problem comes up again, but she told me she couldn't reserve anything :/
Just now while i was downloading some apps from the market, my 4G connection dropped to 1X and all of my downloads gave me errors. I had to disable then re-enable Mobile Data to get it to work again.
Now after installing my apps, the same original problem is occurring. I've only installed a few regular apps (facebook, chrome, evernote, dropbox, etc.) and a few ebooks, but the Task Manager and App Manager in Settings keep freezing up!
Now I'm not so excited about this phone anymore :/
Has anyone been having these problems too? or am I just the unlucky one?
Me too, but not as severe..

I just started experiencing this when ever I open "Manage Applications". I click menu then manage apps or if I go in to menu, system settings, application manager, the manager loads, shows all my apps and within seconds freezes, then black screens and I can't do anything, after a few minutes I get the message that "Unfortunately, system has stopped" then it closes and I get back to the phone fine. I have a lot of apps installed and am rooted but it appears that you are not so I don't know what the heck is going on.
-Sin
EDIT - It's happening when I run root explorer also. I have log viewer light and can filter it down to errors. Appears I am getting some kind of "Out Of Memory" error in the log when ever this happens. Weird. I can't record the log because that crashes everything and dumps me out to the lock screen. I'm not done playing around with it to try and get more answers but I'm beginning to think I'm going to have to flash back to a non-rooted stock, reload all my apps and configs then see if it starts happening again. Just so I can convince myself it's not a root issue regardless of the OP.
I'm putting this here since I don't see the issue posted on N7 section. And the different solutions on other sections didn't work for me.
The problem is keyboard crashing with ' unfortunately android keyboard has stopped working' dialog. This was annoying as not only couldn't you use keyboard but also the keyboard kept restarting and crashing. Tried to clear keyboard data from app info screen but no help. Tried uninstalling the last couple apps I had installed but no help.
Finally remembered randomly seeing 'unfortunately dictionary has stopped' dialog sometime in the past week. So went back into settings - apps - all apps, and found "Dictionary Provider" which I promptly disabled. And just like that android keyboard stopped misbehaving.
Why is dictionary provider causing problems? I haven't looked into it just yet as wanted to put this up asap so anyone else with same issue can also stop keyboard crashing since that's top priority in this situation.
My Nexus 7 is at JB 4.1.2 rooted with stock everything.

Thanks for this post, I was having the same problem on my Sprint GSII and this fixed it. Afterwards the dictionary provider app disappeared all together.
Clear Data

I force stopped the "\system settings\apps\Dictionary provider", cleared data. Which seems to have fixed the problem.
