I read through and I couldn't find any thread posted about this but hopefully someone knows how to fix this...
My TP is barely a week old, and it's force closing the browser at least several times a day. Is anyone else having this problem/anyone found a fix?
Ya. Glad you mentioned this. I have been trying to find a post about this.
Also my browser fails to sync.
here's hoping whatever OTA update asus is working on will address this.. since i guess not too many others are experiencing this problem

I disagree. I think MANY people are experiencing this, but just "living with it" in terms of synching, that the other post complained of, you need to:
If you're getting the exclamation mark do the following. Untick Browser Sync on your GN and close the browser.
Go to Google Dashboard (google.com/dashboard)
Scroll down to Chrome and 'Stop sync and delete Data'. Fresh the window after a few minutes to make sure it says there is not data/empty.
Go to Chrome and login for sync. Wait a few minutes then go back to Google Dashboard. See if the sync got picked up.
If so, go back to Browser Sync and tick the box. Open op the browser app and there should be a pop up that shows your Gmail account is logging in/syncing and the folders should appear slowly.

Hi All. I'm using the official Facebook app that I downloaded form Marketplace. Up until a week or so ago, it was behaving perfectly.
Now, when I open it up, it doesn't seem to update. If I press 'refresh', I get the spinning cursor for a few seconds but nothing changes. If I then log-out, and then re-enter my password, and then press 'refresh' it updates perfectly.
I've uninstalled it a couple of times, and reinstalled it, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks
Steve
Your not alone on this, I have two HD2's and on both systems the Facebook app isn't working correctly. The only thing that I've found so far that allows me to update it is, to log out and log back in.
Probably just a small glitch that will get sorted out soon. FB must have changed a way in which the clients interact with it.
Facebook App not working
Cheers - Nice to know (in a way) that I'm not alone!
this is not new, there's a few threads regarding this, but no fix yet! the only way I found to get a smooth way to use facebook is, on the internet sense tab, add the touch.facebook.com url to the links and sign in and save username and password. Now for me I use Energy rom so it has opera as default browser, so once I set it up the first time and save, it works just like the app, once I touch the link it goes in right to my home in facebook, and everything works like its supposed to.
touch.facebook.com...........
easier to view on the device than the full site......
more functional than the app.....
got the same issue here updated to the newest client and bam 3 days later no more updates. so I just use the opera browswer but the downside is that it uses an older fb plugin with cratastic pictures
ok im not just trippin
yeah the facebook app for the hd2 sucks i hate to say it but the facebook for my iphone is the best one
Hello,
Is anyone else having issues with Gmail crashing?
I can get it to crash by looking at "all mail" and then scrolling down.
On my galaxy nexus this scrolling goes back to the server and loads more messages. On my prime it just crashes and goes completely black or crashes to the home screen. I have to then force stop Gmail in order to get it to load again.
I'm having the exact same problem with my prime. I'm guessing it had to do with some other app that is running because if i restart my prime, it doesn't happen again for a while. I've searched and haven't found any others having this problem though.
I also experience some "back to homescreen" while messing in Gmail. I just cleared the data/cache to see if it will help.
I am having these troubles, too. Have anybodies problems been solved (perhaps with the new Firmwares that were put out by Asus - I am still on 9.4.2.11 as I am based in Austria) ?
The .15 update has made it so that I do not crash any longer while scrolling.
Although, sometimes when I scroll down it just sits there....loading conversations....
I still experience gmail crash... I run WW .14. I hope .15 will fix it when it will be available.
Mine crashes as well on the lastest OTA firmware. I don't think I even need to scroll to crash to homescreen. I think it does it even when I just click on an email occasionally.
Gmail crashes soooo often for me. It's driving me batty. Any ideas on how to fix it yet?

In the few cases I've seen mentioned, whether that even helps temporarily is debatable. In my case it didn't help at all, so I just set up the "EMail" app to get my GMail instead of the GMail app.
yes i have tried that mltiple times, removed the gmail widget since i saw some mention that it could be causing the problems. no luck. removed other widgets one at a time as well. removing beautiful widgets seems to help with the home screen "crash" I was experiencing a lot, but does nothing to fix gmail
I guess I'll have to set up another email app or use a browser, but damn! neither are great fixes (
I just started using the ASUS Email app. That seems to work fine, including the widgets.
This is BS
Come on, Asus, this is Gmail, not some goofy homegrown app or a game or something. And this has been going on for a while. It is not something that just started. I swear Asus has their priorities up their ass sometimes.
I have the same problem ever since the last OTA update. The gmail app is virtually unusable, also get a similar problem with Maps crashing out when searching for places but I guess that's for a different thread.
Tried many things one of which, removing the Beautiful Widgets home screen weather/clock widget, solved a different problem where all the icons would disappear from the home screens.
It's a real shame 'cos I've had none of the hardware problems other people have had, but the flaky apps/browser/ICS are really making this tablet very difficult to use as an everyday device. Maybe it's time to unlock and try Virtuous ROM.
Maybe it's related to this:
http://www.androidcentral.com/google-acknowledges-gmail-app-may-be-flickering-says-fix-way
Acer Iconia A500 -- received stock ICS update a week ago and since then Gmail app has been playing up like all of you guys -- random crashes, flickering, freezes etc.
Very frustrating because that's the most used app on my tab. Now I have to revert to using native email app which kinda suck.
I know there was a reported issue last week with gmail that was a back end issue and since been resolved (I thought?), but on my ATP, very frequently now when I open gmail, it will dump back out to the home launcher on its own after a few seconds. No FC that I can tell.
And it seems like if I open it back up and try to select a message when this happens, it will happen every time unless I open up recent tasks and swipe away gmail. But it crops back up shortly, so it's getting very frustrating. Anyone else seeing this or know what to do?
Thanks.

Yeah I'm having the same issue and not just gmail. Hopefully they'll issue a fix
I just upgraded to the HTC One X+ and have found two problems that are unacceptable.
1. In any browser it seems (I've tried the Default, Dolphin & Firefox) I cannot save the Google Web Site "Search Settings". I always get "Sorry, we failed to save your settings. Try again later.". This has been the case with this phone only for weeks. My old phone, a Samsung Captivate, it works just fine. I have tried many things in the phone settings to no avail. Can anyone help me?
2. In the default browser, I cannot erase the browsing history completely. Even though the history shows as empty, you can still <Forward> & <Back> to ALL previously viewed web pages. It will always open to the last page browsed, not the set home page. I've tried a couple of history erasers but none did anything. Can anyone help here as well?
Thanks.

I may be a junior member, but I am very far from being a junior. I am also far too old for that kind of childish pursuit.
My question still stands.
well sorry for trying to bring a smile to your thread....anyway close the tabs if they are open in separate tabs... that's what looks like the issue COULD be

Thanks, I tried that for the history problem, it didn't help. I've tried many many things for both problems, too many to list. But I will retry them all just on the off chance I do not remember correctly(very likely).
Can't save Google settings or erase browser history completely.
Does anyone have possible solutions? I really would like to solve this & not let this thread die out. I'm sure that I am not the only person to notice this issue.
Dang, you are right. I've just stuck with the stock "Internet" browser on this device as it works so well/fast for me and also the only one for this device so far with Flash abilities. I also closed all tabs, cleaned history, even used the famous "History Eraser" app from the playstore and cleaned out stock browser history. I then opened up the stock browser, hit menu, back button, what do you know it goes back to previous web page! WTF is right my man. I don't have anything to hide personally to worry about such things but damn this is for sure a bug none the less! Never had a device where i could "wipe" browser history yet the browser still must obviously keep a secret history backup as to why would it know the previous pages if history is truly cleaned out? For sure a bug and hope there can be a fix for this.
I would think if the stock browser gave you the ability to actually close "ALL" tabs then this wouldn't happen. I mean even your intial tab/page which can never be closed. Seems it must have 1 page active when opening up the stock browser. I would think if there would be a way to fully close this tab as well, the browser would then open a fresh initial tab from scratch causing no "back" button capabilities anymore.
Maybe cleaning out the history does so only to all other tabs instead of all including the intial tab or original tab opened?
Can't comment on third party browsers as i don't have a need for them. If it ain't broke don't fix it and the stock browser flys for me and love the interface personally.

can you list EVERYTHING you've tried... not sure if you have tried this but go to settings > (cant remember the actually menu on sense) apps? > browser > wipe data

Yes if u go to settings, apps, all, Internet (stock browser), there's the option to clear data. It says it will basically wipe all settings clean. I have too many settings saved in my browser so didn't attempt to do this but if it's important to the OP maybe he will try it?
Either way even if this does work it's not at all a true fix to an obvious problem. If one wants to really clear history they have to wipe the whole app clean? Hopefully a much user friendly alternative will be found or "created."

For problem #2 - My issues with this is that I can't just back out of the app without ending up at the AT&T default home page(or the last page viewed) instead of Google. The app still keeps running even after backing out completely. You have to use 3rd party System Task Manager to kill the app.
Here's what I can remember for sure...(I'm retrying them as I write)
From within Internet - Clear History, Cache, Form Data - Forward/back still there.
Doing a Clear Data from Settings>Apps>All>Internet does work, but it also wipes all my settings & home page.
Disable Google+ & Google Search - no help.
Unchecked everything in Privacy & Security in Internet Settings - no help
Checked & Unchecked all & various combos of settings in Internet Settings>Advanced - no help. (too many combos to remember).
UPDATE - Two things...
1. Settings>Apps>All>Internet>Clear Cache just worked. Why I don't know. I was sure I did this before. multiple times with no change. But I now have my Google home Page with no Forward/back arrows. For what ever reason it works now. I still think it should work inside the app but it does not.
2. All of a sudden I can now save my Google Search Settings. I don't know what happened there because it has not work on this phone since I got it, yet it worked on me old phone during the same time frame so it was not Google itself (I think).
Was there an OTA update? About software shows Android 4.1.1 but I am not sure what I had on it when I got it three weeks ago.
Figured that would work for history bit hopefully we can find a real fox for this.
Found a quick little fix for browser history. Just have to trick your phone a bit. What I did with the stock browser was open an incognito tab. Now close out all other open tans so the incognito tab is the only one. You will see there is now no back or forward options. Now go to settings, history, clear all, open a regular tab, no back or forward buttons.

:good:Thanks, I tried it & it does seem to work. I just wish Google/Android would fix whats broken instead of worrying over new features. Like all the App/services running in the back ground I will never use, that I can't turn off. I like long battery life.
Curious is anyone else having issues with their Google Chrome Browser? I have reset my phone multiple times and it is still happening, so not sure if it is a device issue or Software.
When I open up Google Chrome the first time it will go to the Home Page. Then if I do something else like send a text message or view email, then come back to Google and open it by tapping the Google Icon, the screen will go black and you can see the Web Browser URL. If I hit refresh or tap multiple times in the middle of the screen then the Google web browser will show up again.
I have closed out of all my other applications thinking it was memory, be even after doing this it still does the same thing. When I go back to see what apps are open, nothing is there other than the Chrome browser. I have done a rest multiple times by pushing the small button next to the SIM Card and even done two Master Resets and the issue still occurs.
Do I consider my phone faulty due to this? It is sort of annoying, because this seems to have just started happening.

Don't worry, there's a deadly bug in new Chrome 32.0.1799.99 build.
In this case it doesn't help to delete cache, dalvik, data, mine was force-closing multiple times.
Just downgrade to 31.0.1650.59 and everything will be O.K.

You'll have to dig one up by googling, or you can install Chrome Beta and see if it's fixed.
