Hi all, the title itself is self explanatory.
Happens on all major browsers, at first I suspect Chrome being the culprit. After installing all other popular browser (Firefox, Opera, Dolphin, everything you could see in the Play Store), I know for sure it not them. It's the goddamn phone.
Anyone else experiencing this? Or does anyone knows of how to fix this? I've been googling fix for this **** for more than 3 weeks now.
Stock rom, bootloader intact, latest update.
Thanks
Try to install "Adreno GPU Developer Preview Drivers" from magisk..
That's the thing, I'm not rooted. Any other suggestion?

I have tried several encoders and player apps and still have major sync issues with movies and videos. Does anyone have a solution for this? Can't believe it is such a problem.
The exact same file plays just fine on my wife's iPod Touch and on the computer.
This has been an issue since stock and still happens in Apex. Anyone have a solution?
What system version are you on? You possibly may need to update your system
I am on 2.3.340 with Apex 1.4.1
Hmmmm that's interesting. Have you tried any roms other than stock and apex?
I haven't. There are quite a few complaints about this issue online but no real solutions.
Ok. When you said this wads an issue since stock does that mean it was like that when you got the phone?
You may want to try another rom such as liberty or fission or possibly try a SBF
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.
I think this deserves a thread. as the title states if you were to go to YouTube full site and try to play a video as soon as its about to play the advert it crashes causing the browser to become unresposive to touch.
does not matter which browser you use it has same effect.
other sites tested are ustream and Justin TV. various flash sites used to watch football also have the same problem although sometimes after deleting cache on opera in app manager I can get football to run.
I'm pretty sure 3.2.1 did not have these issues.
if this a Acer problem. will they fix this? I also think it could be a flash player problem with our tablets which could be fixed in a update from them.
I'm on a custom rom but I'm just off to test on my girlfriends tab which is stock....brb
OK I'm back. exactly the same tried to play a video on YouTube and as it about to play it froze the browser and the video.
3.2.1 looks so appealing right now. anyway people who say there browsers don't freeze obviously don't use many flash sites.
if anyone knows any settings that may help in the about:config department of opera please let me no otherwise I'd love to find anyone with a workaround.....
I am having this problem as well with dolphin, chrome and stock browser when ever I try to go to full screen. However last night I downloaded browser + (basically an enhanced stock browser) and it worked fine all night long. I played about 3 consecutive hours of full screen flash videos and didn't have one browser crash. Not sure what the problem with the other browsers is.

thanks, might give that a try then.
im sure it will be ironed out sooner or later..
anyone know if theres away to log the crashes?
EDIT: Indeed you are correct. broswer+ does not crash on justin.tv....
Any tips on forcing it to use youtube full site as no matter what i try (even ticking box) it forces back to the mobile site.
Cheers for the tip mate it will certainly make ICS a whole lot better to use at the minute
EDIT 2: you just made my morning looks like browser+ is the way to go. ustream works perfectly too.
just like to add a further note that BOAT browser works great and does not freeze when using any of the sites i have listed. so thats browser+ and BOAT that work ok with flash
I also should now add I'm on a custom 4.0.4 android and flash with opera works great. Even full screen on full YouTube.
Very strange but I'm not complaining now.

i'll give opera a shot as well
Same issues
Two of the most irritating problems I had with HC was:
1. ALL web browsers would randomly crash--> auto shut downs that wiped all temp and open files in the browser. Stock browser was the worst, followed up by Opera, Dolphin, Mirix browser, and a couple other nobody apps. None worked flawlessly. This is enraging when you are typing an email and it dies, you lose all your work!!!
2. My bluetooth Motorola keyboard would stutter and die. Keys would stick, etc. Another maddening problem.
The ICS OTA I received did not rectify these two critical issues for me either. Hence why I invested time and energy into learning how to unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM.
Those two problems that were unresolvable were deal breakers for me running anything from Acer.
I routinely sent alogcat files to Dolphin techie team. They were not able to deduce why their browser would auto-die during session. But hey, at least the Dolphin team responded and tried.
Opera support is miserable. I sent them what they wanted: their advice? Uninistall Opera and re-install. I did. Four times. Still problem persisted.
I would get SoD's on HC and my tablet was unrooted and unmodded at the time.
I would get SoD's infrequently on stock ICS, but enough it made me move to another ROM.
So to answer your question: Your device is not alone with these problems. Seems it is something in Acer's ROM's that do this. Some bug they dont bother to fix. And I assume it is in the stock ROM's, because I did factory recovery and factory wipes too, and it did not repair this bug with auto-die browsers and spotty bluetooth connectivity.
My solution?
Go custom ROM. Flash an unlocked bootloader, install the latest greatest flavor you take fancy to, install either the Lightspeed 4.5 (i think they are up to 4.7 now...), Flexreaper RC1_v3, or that Thor ROM. All are good, I'm partial to Flexreaper cuz it has that totally customizable Acer Ring.
All those ROM's out of the gate are faster and have more clever apps in them than Acer-junk.
Juss sayin.

Thanks for any responses
try clearing browser data. mine crashed a lot on honeycomb but not nearly as much on ics/jb
they could be silverlight/divx instead of pure flash and make absolutley sure you have flash
tegra 2 cant handle it on max graphics just turn them down a little

Hey thanks for the suggestions i tried clearing data for browser but it still closes, it only happens on a few sites so i can live with it, about the videos playing im not sure what they are i just know they have worked on every device ive had before including a piece of crap coby kyros i had like 3 years ago, is their any way to get divx/silverlight to work on this tablet , as far as game its already on low graphics , again thanks for the reply
Try installing latest guevor's kernel. It has a fix for the RAM fragmentation problem which causes lots of Google apps (any GPU-accelerated app really) to crash to desktop.
As for browser plugin...
There is no Silverlight plugin for Android. DivX is not a plugin either. What browser are you using? You say you have Flash installed, but both Chrome and latest Dolphin disable Flash.

For some reason, this problem doesn't seem to be addressed in this forum much so I'm posting again.
Using Chrome/Chrome Beta on Note 4, whenever I try to watch a video on HTML5, the video starts playing normally but when I try to drag & seek, it will pause for a second and say "Sorry, video Cannot be played" Does anyone have a solution for this? It is driving me nuts and I can't find a solution. Please [email protected]#$!#
Problem occurs during 4G/LTE usage. No problem when using wifi. (This doesn't make sense to me)
*just confirmed that my brother, who uses the same phone, has the same issue as well.
Alright people, I finally got it solved. So if anyone else has this problem, try this method.
SOLUTION:
1. Go to Settings>Application Manager>Chrome>Uninstall Updates
-----This process uninstalls all updates applied to any factory installed apps (Evernote, Chrome, etc.)
2. Go to Play Store>My Apps>Update All
3. Open Chrome
-----Settings>Content Settings>Website Settings
-----Erase all settings.
Try now and it should work without any problems. Hope this helps everyone else too!
