I've tried two Rezounds this week, and get browser crashes on both. It seems pretty random, but usually happens after using the browser for 5-10 minutes.
It's happened a few times in here and when browsing through Howard Forums.
I guess I'll need to download Dolphin browser and see if it crashes too.
I've had Dolphin crash on me a few times.
Has not happened to me yet on Opera.

Hasn't happened to me yet on Dolphin. (Knocking on wood)
Check your browser cache in Settings>Applications. My browser crashes on my DInc if it goes more than a few days without a restart. Clearing the cache often helps.

i haven't had the browser crash, but i have had weird things happen...
sometimes i'll click on a link, and nothing seems to happen.. i'll think 'huh? did it not register?' and then all of a sudden it's on the new page fully loaded.
also, there's times when i'll click on something and it'll think i clicked on a link right above where i actually did click. (and yes i've tried calibration & also using the gingerbread keyboard)
well, considering mine has a dead pixel anyway i'm just going to exchange it.
I went to dolphin h d browser soon as I could, I couldn't stand the original browser the way it cut off the notification bar.

The 1st Rezound I tried also had a dead pixel almost right in the center of the screen, but the 2nd unit doesn't have any dead pixel.
I have also noticed when using the web browser that when I click on link, it may just sit there. When I click on the link again, nothing happens. I have to go back one page and then forward for the link to open.
After using Dolphin browser for a day, I've had it crash and close unexpectedly a few times. I'm starting to think it may be an underlining issue with the phone it self.
Had my phone for 4 days now and the browser is yet to crash with extensive use.

Another issues I've noticed is that sometimes pictures don't load in the browser and show a question mark. Pressing on the Refresh icon usually fixes it.
But this has also happened when using the Facebook app, as some pictures just don't show unless you exit and restart the app.
hello i just noticed that my stock browser does not work properly, every time that i try to use the web Facebook my browser just freeze and does not work any more some one else with same problem, sorry if somebody else already discussed this
facebook on android is a COMPLETE cluster.
using it on the browser, the app, everything!!
on another note, have you tried a different browser?
now im downloading Chrome will see how it work
I had the same problem. Took the phone back and exchanged it with 4 different phones and the same thing happens every time. Now I just use the app it works perfect.

Yeah, I have the same problem. It's driving me crazy. I tried a different browser (maxthon) and it did the same thing. Please respond back stating if chrome works for u. Thanx. If i dont have to install the app then that would be great.

I too thought it was my phone..I had still have this issue, three phones later, and it still exists..I use Chrome Browser now and Facebook works fine but wouldn't you think there would be a "fix" for something like this..Problem is, not enough people give a sh*t about this..Just sayin'...
Experiencing same problems with Dolphin Browser HD... anytime I try to go to a specific post (e.g. a status update or a photo) Dolphin freezes up.
Haven't had the same trouble with Chrome; however, for some reason on Chrome all photos are tiny. As in, "I can't identify people" tiny.
Ever since Honeycomb, the absolute biggest problem I've had with this tablet is the browser. It doesn't freaking stay open. No matter what browser I use, no matter if I'm running Honeycomb, ICS or Jellybean, the browser always crashes. And it's not a typical FC either; It just closes right back to Launcher.
I've been hearing that it's caused by some null pointer exception in JavaScript; But you mean to tell me between Android 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 4.0 - 4.0.4 and 4.1, 4.1.1, that this issue STILL isn't resolved? Not to mention, it only happens on tablets (Tegra 2 issue? Xoom has the same issue).
For me, it most notably happens when I'm browsing a Twitter page. In the past minute alone, I've had browser crash on my SIX times trying to load a page on Twitter. Let's make that 7 now.
So what the hell really causes this, and why won't it go away? My Sensation and myTouch 4G can browse just fine, and this temporary Galaxy S III works perfectly too, so what's with the tablet?
EDIT: Disabled JavaScript and set plugins to ondemand. Same damn result.
I've used the stock browser, Dolphin, Chrome, and Skyfire and none of them have ever crashed on me. Ever. Sounds like there is either something defective about your device perhaps your internet connection. A factory reset might help, as might going into applications, finding the Google framework and clearing data. Do the same for your browsers as well.
That's funny, I've noticed just the same thing. Browsers work terribly on this tablet.
With me, they only do crash sometimes – a lot more than on my HTC phone, though. But using browsers is a real pain, as they all feel kinda buggy, and I don't think it's their fault, since they all show the same "bugs". They're all kinda laggy. I've updated to ICS today and I was crying in emotion for being able to finally download Chrome, as it's the most stable one I've ever used in my phone, but I was disappointed when I noticed it too felt quite laggy. I'd rather go home and turn my Mac on than to struggle with web browsing on this tablet, honestly. I've tried many browsers –*stock, Dolphin, Boat, that other one with green icon, and also Skyfire or something.
If anyone has a better thing, or a solution, or anything, I bet there are many desperate people that would die to hear it.
(I know I sound more dramatic than I should, but let's face it, web browsing sucks in this device.)
I've never had any problem web browsing on my Tab. None. I'm not rooted, maybe that's why, or maybe it has to do with the sites you visit. Dunno.
On my tab with HC 3.2, the stock browser would also just disappear to the home screen, but not all that often.
I flashed to ICS, and the stock browser got a bit quirky. The address bar would no longer hide when I scrolled down
on a web page. Would stutter as if it was trying to hide but wouldn't.
Installed Dolphin and it worked fine.
I went back to HC 3.2 (had some other issues besides the browser) and so far the stock browser is working fine.

Dolphin does the same thing though, just a lot less frequently. Motorola Xoom users in a thread from a year ago reported this same problem (in a filled up 14 page thread), and several of users report the same exact issue. I'm gonna poll some more Tegra 2 sections and see if they suffer from the same thing but it looks like this is just another issue with this ****ty SoC, like the portrait mode lag.

Not to sound rude but your opinion isn't really credible to me, you're the same one who went crazy when I said this tablet sucked. You have bias written all over you.

Come on dude, I'd have to be rooted to be running Jellybean. And as everyone else has shown, it does seem to vary by website. Full pages on twitter ALWAYS crash, (they work once in a blue moon). Other times browser crashes when browser feels like it hasn't crashed in a while. I could get through a day perfectly, then bam, crash.
I'm not a dude.
I've never had a problem with any of the browsers I've tried, I think maybe you have a faulty tablet.
I to have the same problems. The browser would even close and reopen with no webpages there.

Yes Google.ca. The browser just shut down without a force close notice and opens blank. Plus it becomes non responsive, on pages that have a lot of javascript.

That specifically happens the second time. On the first crash, I'd relaunch and it would reload my pages, but 99/100 times it would crash seconds afterward. Upon opening it again, i get one tab with the Google homepage.

Sounds like JavaScript is the culprit, but it still crashed for me even after I disabled JavaScript
I think it's all about memory management, I cant tell about HC 'cause I barely used it, but JB is still very experimental.

I'm biased because I've never had any problems with my browser crashing? Whatever. I also never "went crazy" over anything. All you do is complain and complain. Why not just get an iPad and move on?
I have tried several browsers also, and for me I really only have problems with chrome freezing (not force closing). It seems to be random, but happens more frequently when opening new tabs. However, the stock browser on the same sites seems to work every time. My guess is that it may be due to timeouts on the network connection or possibly memory related. And, it seems to be random... I may go a day without a freeze, then have two back to back freezes. Oh tegra2, why don't you behave?
Hey guys,
It's been almost a week since I flashed the stock ICS and installed Chrome. So far so good, no complaints. I'm really relieved, as I was almost giving up. Give it a try

Chrome is the way to go. The ability to create an account and sync all relevant browser data to your devices via the cloud - why hasn't anyone thought of this before? So obvious and useful.
I also strongly recommend trying out Boat Browser, which is highly underrated. Smoother and smarter layout than Dolphin and the best alternative to Chrome, IMO.

Chrome acts really weird on JB. I'm still running pershoot's 8/4 build but I'll be updating and trying out Chrome again. Last time I tried it I would always get a white page while switching tabs, and scrolling was odd. Browser does a much better job but Chrome has too much nice functionality lol

I doubt it's memory relate, it happens a lot with 1 tab open, and with a full Gig of RAM, browsing should be painless when it comes to memory management, not to mention, but Android's memory management scheme is the most beautiful thing I've seen. Tabs and apps actually know how to stay open, and Android knows what to close. Works a lot better than any tablet I've used, even better than crapple's iPad.
So this is a weird one, I haven't seen this mentioned before. At random times, while my phone is locked and in my holster, apps open on their own. I will pick up the phone, turn the screen on, unlock it and the Internet will be opened to my home page (Google). I know it wasn't like that before I turned the screen off. It's been like that on any rom I run. Right now I'm on the rooted stock rom. Any one else seen this?
I get the same thing once in awhile. Usually the last Google search I did.
At one point it would have xda open in browser, which I don't use.

I haven't experienced anything like this. Is it always the internet app that is open? Or is there other apps that wil randomly start as well?
For me always internet.
I run the Badseed tranquility ROM. Rls 3 s-off with latest radio update.

I wondering if there is come hiccup with the internet app. Have you tried a different internet app like google chrome? Maybe make that the default browser and see if you have any issues.
Good idea. Thanks.

I'll try that too, now that I think about it, it is just the internet app.
Must've been just the stock browser. I've been running maxthon browser and it hasn't auto-opened.
Happens to my wife all the time, she would come to me complaining and getting frustrated, turned out when she went to turn off the screen her palm would open what she had on the bottom right side of the screen lol. Not saying thats your problem but could be, to be honest its happened to me a couple times

Now I've got an interesting one. I flashed stock w/ goodies 2.14 today, on a reboot the dialer is automatically opened. Just to test, I flashed back to stock and have the same issue. The only new thing I did was use superwipe prior to each flash and I've never used it before. I've seen this mentioned before in another thread but I couldn't find it again. Anyone else have this happen? It doesn't affect functionality, but kind of annoying.
Seems like after this latest chrome update, Chrome now freezes when switching between multiple tabs. I'm running latest HTC software version 2.17.605.2 710RD with the latest Chrome update 18.0.1025464.
Tested with another Dinc4 running 2.17.605.2 710RD and the previous version of Chrome 18.0.1025308 with no issues. As soon as that phone was updated to Chrome 18.0.1025464 same issues appeared... rendering Chrome useless.
Anyone else having Chrome issues with their Dinc4?
I have the same problem, though it is intermittent.

Mine started intermittent but now Chrome is un-usable. Did a full factory reset from boot screen and SD format, still no go. I can open multiple tabs but as soon as I try to switch between them they freeze and load blank pages. Then all the tabs freeze and I have to exit the app and go back in to close the tabs out.
Frustrating...
I posted on the google issue's board and also let HTC know about it as well. Pretty sure it has something to do with the latest Chrome update as the other phone running old version was fine, updated to latest Chrome and now it freezes.
I have this intermittent issue on this device as well as the Asus TF101, so I think it's a Chrome issue, not device-specific.

+1 happens to me sometimes too
Happens to me as well, since the Chrome UG. I like Chrome but I've switched to Dolphin for now. I just got cloud printing going near the same time as the Chrome update (which required me to load Chrome on my laptop -- connected to my printer). I wonder if there's any connection there??
I'm having the same issue too. It is intermittent and clearing the Chrome cache seems to help for a little while. Really hope they get this fixed.

I've opened up an issue ticket on the Google ticket site. I suggest everyone with a Dinc4 experiencing Chrome issues star that issue and comment to see if we can get some traction with Google. I'm afraid because we don't own an S3 we won't get noticed...
Issue 159481: Chrome Android Tabs Freeze
Chrome sent out an update 11/28. Issue is still present, no changes.
I'm having this issue as well and it appears to be getting worse and worse. I've also noticed many people on other sites also have this issue with the Droid Inc 4G .
So, so, so frustrating. I wish someone at Google will stumble on this problem. ugh
I've been having issues with the stock browser loading blanks and sometimes just jumping to the home screen instead of loading. Also wants to restart quite a few times. " site not responding would you like to restart?" Espn is the site that likes to restart and this site is the only that likes to jump to my home screen. Anyone else? It only started about the time we got our global update, sooooo.?
