Hey again guys, I recently upgraded my htc desire s to the official 3.5 sense version and them to the endymion rom and both have something quite annoying in all browsers I have tried (dolphin, stock and boat browsers).
What happens is pressing back sends me to the top of a web page, meaning I have to press back twice to get to the previous page. It's not a huge deal, just a minor annoyance. So I was just wondering if this was a bug or a feature? Does anyone else experience this if it is a bug and is there a way to change it?

I have never experienced such behavior. I have owned a Samsung Galaxy S 4G, had a Nexux S for a while, as well as a Motorola Droid, and now own a SGS2 (T989).
I would suggest that you try Firefox and/or Opera Mobile (not Mini) to see if it still happens. If it doesn't it may be that the WebView widget in the version of Android you just installed has this problem/feature.
all browsers on my HTC do it, they have since I updated to 2.3.3 sense 3.0, now running endymion 3.4 (sense 3.5) and the behaviour continues. it's very strange and pretty damn frustrating lol.

The famous SMS bug where your text messages go to a different recipient bit me last night, using the stock HTC mms app on an old rom. Using handcent or a different 3rd party app usually makes that problem go away. The new roms (i'm flashing BAMF 2.0.5 right now) all feature sense 3.0 mms apps, do these solve that sms bug or no?
I have had many bugs with 2.0.5. The camera is on like at least a 5 second delay, if it doesn't FC first. I get MMS out of order and I am currently in the process of going back to 1.6.3 until these minor flaws get worked out. I would love to keep 2.0.5 on my phone but I need it to be reliable and stable and have all of the phones features working properly.
In by no way am I knockin the work of team BAMF or their work. As a matter of fact I love it. Just like a little more options and customizations available for my phone. I am going to continue to flash every new update for BAMF GB but just want something to fall back on until the final is released.
This is only prevalent in a previous version of gingerbread. Should be patched in 2.3.4.

Meaning what exactly? All versions of GB are 2.3.4?
Hi guys, new to the EVO side (wife's phone) so I am very unfamiliar with how the EVO 3D runs but I am hoping to get a bit of quick help.
I did the ota update yesterday to a completely stock Rogers EVO 3D and ICS seemed to take just fine and all the features appear to work. The funny part is that whenever you switch between applications, ie; open gmail and than close it to go to the home screen I get the HTC something brilliant screen as if it is rebooting. This happens with anything I try to open or switch between. The screen will flash for a few seconds and return to the home screen.
Anyone else experience this or have any advice? I will read up on unlocking the bootloaders and rooting (I'm use to captivate and galaxy nexus) to be able to get different ROMs on but I was hoping to get a quick answer so the wife doesn't hurt me in my sleep tonight...
Thanks

Something is causing the sense launcher to crash. I had that issue on GB when I had a different launcher installed, even if I was not using it. Maybe an app is causing it or maybe the memory management of the OS is overly aggressive and removing the sense launcher from memory (so it has to reload).

Thanks for that. No other launcher installed but I will at least clear data out of the current one or even try a different. Will also double check memory management to be sure it isn't killing anything it shouldn't be.

try wiping your caches
Its an ics glitch. Nothing you can do that I've heard of.

Definitely sounds like a glitch. Tried all the suggestions but nothing worked. Just added Nova launcher to get around the sense issue. Wife hates ICS though and wants the old ROM back on. Can't win for trying.
Thanks for the tips guys.

mine also does the same!!!
Had the same problem..
Do a factory reset With erase sd card...before that backup with astro !!
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.?

Same issue here with browser screen jumping to home screen. Chrome is jacked up and now the stock browser has issues!
Hi everyone,
I have tried to search for a solution to my problem but I haven't been very successful. If anyone knows of links to possible resolutions to my problem, please reply with them.
I have an issue with the chrome browser starting with a completely black screen. At first I thought it was only my last phone (RAZR HD), but the problem is also present on my Verizon Note 3. If it were just an issue on a single phone, I'd probably ask in specific phone forums, but it's happened on two different phones now.
I'm presuming that the problem might be caused by an app I'm using, but the problem is intermittent so I can't tell if the issue subsides when I uninstall certain apps.
Any help or insight in this issue is appreciated.
Thanks
I have the same issue. Seems in my case its ANY 4.3 rom. It started after an update to Chrome around the fifteenth or so of November. It'll work but if I change tabs or switch apps it will turn black when resuming. Older versions of Chrome don't have the problem. I've gone back to a 4.2.2 root box rom with no problems.

The latest update to chrome doesn't render the pages immediately.
This would most likely be to open chrome faster.
However, users are reporting that they don't get past a black screen.
This is common.
Go complain to google devs though, not here. (The bug tracker they have)
Right on. Will do. Not so much complaining as just sharing with the OP. Thanks for letting us know its very common. My searches have not returned much information at all. Including Google searches and searches here and on XDA.
Thanks again!

I see. My RAZR HD was still on 4.1.2 and this was an issue there too. Thanks for the information.
Side note: I'm glad I wasn't the only person having difficulty searching on this subject.
sorry for the huge bump but if anyone was wondering my dpi was 350 and this issue stated when my Rom was changed to a 350 DPI. I used xposed and App Settings to change the DPI of chrome to 480 and no more black screens
EDIT(2 hours later):Nope it just came back.
Hi Everyone,
I need help on my nexus 5/Android 4.4.2. I want to be able to troubleshoot and figure out why my nexus 5 is acting strange -at least the OS part of it.
A BIT OF HISTORY: I just recently purchased this phone in the US through a friend.
THE SITUATION/ISSUES:
- When I go to the app drawer, sometimes the wall paper in the background turns black and comes back just after I tap a an app
- When I use the chrome browser and surf the web some something, it reloads the page I am viewing without me triggering reload. It's kinda annoying that it reloads pages i am viewing. Quiet a few times chrome crashed.
- When I use youtube and tap the voice command to search for videos, it accepts the command but it doesn't load the videos I wanted to search.
- Sometimes, when I tap the home button it kinda reloads the home screen.
I thought that it might be just the OS and maybe a glitch or something. I tried factory reset (vanilla android) a few times but it is the same. I have tried cyanogenmod 11 on it and it is still the same issues.
I am a newbie. This is my first nexus android. I have used HTC desire HD for a month and it doesn't have this problem.
If I am unclear with describing my situation/problem please let me know.

Since it persists in different roms looks like a hardware issue.. More of an ram issue is what I can make of.. Take a logcat and send it my way and I'll look at it.
The last 2 errors are pretty common. The last one is because your launcher is not locked on ram.

Thanks for the reply MasterAwesome.
I have just downloaded aLogCat to log issues on my phone. Once I've gathered enough activity/issues, I'll send it your way.
Are issues likes these common in Nexus 5's? I've reverted back to my Stock Android.
YouTube issue: I didn't update the YouTube app and the voice search feature on it worked fine - at least for now that seems to be the fix for it.
Chrome Browser reloading issue: I haven't found a fix but Chrome Beta seem to work fine. Still reloads but not quite as often. I think this reloading issue isn't just contained in Chrome Browser.
Skype Video Call issue: I forgot to mention that I used Skype for a video call once and every 1-3 minutes the video drops (but not the call) I would have to press back to go out of the call without hanging up and get back to it. That seem to reload the video again.

They are common? I have an N5 and have a few friends with them and hang out in the Nexus 5 forums too. It's definitely not that common. I've flashed dozens of roms on my phone and have not experienced any of these problems besides Chrome reloading a few times, though even that only happened a few times. I also use Nova Launcher and have never seen it reload (besides waiting for a new theme to load) or flake out once.
