Ok this is starting to piss me off if I'm browsing on the internet and I hit the back button it takes me to the home screen. Then when I go back to the browser all my tabs are gone and it takes me to my homepage. WTF?????

Hello,
My browser never goes to the home page I set up. Invariably, when invoking the Browser the cached last page is displayed, even after a full "power off". There is no "go to home page" button either.
Anyone else has this, and any idea how to remedy this?
Thanks!
yes, noticed this last night and it was beginning to really bug me.
you can of course use bookmarks or open a new window, but surely there should be a home button....every other browser in the world has a home button!!
minor annoyance though, and not a deal breaker for me.
I know it sounds daft, but I think you can only change the homepage in the browser and not in the "Web n Walk" shortcut to the browser.
I was stumped by this too for a couple of tries. I've removed the web n walk browser shortcut now.
No Go to home page button is annoying me still though
yeah,you can change the homepage, that's not the problem.
but how can there not be a home button....that's just daft!!
i find when i open a page, i'll occasionally have 2 things happen....
either i'll start to type somewhere, then the keyboard will suddenly disappear and screw up what i'm doing & have to bring up the keyboard again, or....
i'll load a page & click on a link, then either the page will suddenly shift to the top of the webpage and think i clicking on something completely different, or it'll register that i clicked on a link right next to the one i actually did click on.
i wonder if i'm just trying to do things too quickly rather then just sit there patiently & wait till the page is properly loaded. hmm...

additionally, note webpage related, but i notice this phone is incredibly sensitive. like i'll be holding the phone and a finger may get close to the edge where the search button is & then think i clicked on search & the search menu will pop up, or sometimes i'll be playing a song & have my fingers too close to the edge where the "next" option is and accidentally switch to a different song. maybe i just need a bigger phone for my hands.
The search thing definitely happens to me when i hold it in landscape and wrap my index finger around the top, the case I got helps since the edge sticks up a bit on the corners.
I have no problems to report with the stock browser, but the screen is ultra sensitive...I feel like if you just hover your finger over it, it thinks you clicked something.

My Desire does the same thing (usually right after I've started the browser). Minor annoyance, but still annoying. I think that it might be a "stock browser" issue, because I used Dolphin HD for a while and I don't remember these problems until I got sick of how much Dolphin sucked in general and switched to the stock browser.
NOT THE FIRST PROBLEM WITH BROWSER OR TYPING.

I use Boat browser and have no issue. To be honest with you the last time I used a stock browser was when the Xoom came out. I don't even know what HTC browser looks like. Lol

Hey guys, is there a way to get the drop down menu while using the web browser ? Sometimes I can access the drop down while browsing but not all the time. Also , any way to get tabs like chrome to appear on the internet browser ? Please let me know
Thanks guys,
Steven
Its a new thing for the HTC browser they implemented.
You're supposed to see the menu bars you desire when you pull the page down. (or is it up? Its one way, not the other)
You can kind of get around this by going into settings > then lab > and try out the edge of the screen menu thingie.
I know thats all vague, but its there. Go check it out. It enables you to touch and hold the very edge of the browser window and it brings up a splash of options that are the ones you're seeking.
Edit: it's not just touching and hold the edge that brings it up. It's the very edge. Actually diabolical. I prefer HTC browser over chrome on android.

Hello everyone!!!
I'm a proud owner of the xperia s smartphone complete with ics firmware.
However i noticed when i run a few apps (e.g. browser, games, messages) and i go back to my homescreen, it resets itself (app icons reload, wallpaper takes some time to load, scrolling homescreens takes a little longer...) and it is annoying as hell... I can't open my browser and go back to my homescreen without having to wait 30 sec for it to load so here is my question: How do i solve this?
If there are already threads about this problem I would appreciate a link thank you but i already browsed a lot...
thank you :laugh:

i don't have this issue,maybe you are using lot of widgets???
if you are rooted delete all unneeded applications and bloatware.
and every time you exit and app use the back key not the home key.
I have an Lg G2 running Cloudy G2(4.4.2). Phone was working fine until 2 days ago. Now the "back" soft key does not work like it used to in many apps. For just a few examples:
Chrome
Before: back key took you to the previous web page
Now: takes you to the main home screen with all my apps, but if I then go back into chrome and the hit the back key it will go the the previous web page
Reddit is fun
Lets say I was in a post,
Before: would take me back out to my reddit home page
Now: takes you to the main home screen with all my apps, but if I then go back into reddit and the hit the back key it will go the the previous web page
Sharing a post from an app to another app(reddit to hangouts for example)
Before: when hitting share it would take you to the app in which to share the post. Then hitting back key would cycle through all the screens and you would end up back in the reddit post
Now: takes you to the main home screen with all my apps. Going back into the app doesn't work. You have to close the app
Hangouts
Before: If I was in a chat, hitting the back key took me back out the list of chats
Now : takes you to the main home screen with all my apps, but if I then go back into hangouts and the hit the back key it will go the the previous web page
What could have caused the back soft key functionality to change like that?
Thanks,
Craig
Maybe a bit of a simple solution which you probably already tried but did you reboot?

Many times
Maybe you could backup your data and factory reset.
Always works for me.
