On every other Android device I've ever had, the browser leaves your windows open unless you reboot or force close browser. On the note, I can pull up a page, hit the home button, do other things, then come back to browser and it opens a home page as if I'm just starting the browser from a fresh boot.
Is this some idiotic touchwiz task killer or something? I don't see any setting to change the behavior.
Anyone? Am I missing something obvious?
i dunno it happens to me all the time super frustrating tho
doesn't happens to me..

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 noticed that tabs close by themselves if I dont use the browser for a few minutes and leaves only the tab I was on when I left still open.
I was wondering if this was fixed in 2.3.4 update
It's slightly less irritating than my transformer because at least nothing is lost when I get it back up.

which browser are you using?
If I leave the browser tabs might close but that's because the browser is sometimes turned off by the task manager. But tabs don't disappear if I'm actually within it.

I wasn't talkinng about the task killer. Android automatically kills background tasks if it needs the RAM. If you leave the browser and do other stuff and it gets killed off by the system because it needs the resources the background tabs will be lost. The browser always remembers the last page you were on but it doesn't restore the whole session.
Hmmm I don't have that problems... anyway I'm using dolphin browser and its great...
I really like the web browser that comes with android, it fits websites nicely to the page unlike say Opera. But what is with the touch? it's always lagging behind, not like it's slow, but like they enabled some sort of smooth into action setting or something. If you move the page up and down, you'll see it's like it's chasing your finger. Is their a way to make the touch fast and on point with your finger like with Opera?
Can't answer your question as I've been using Dolphin Browser HD. I'd urge ya to try it if you haven't.
Yeah I tried dolphin, it's cool, like it. I kinda like the simplicity of the android browser though, just wish their was a way to fix the touch. If I stick with Dolphin i'll have to figure out how to get it to replace my web button on the bottom bar, I thought with the new gingerbread you was able to replace those buttons.

Go to your Applications drawer, hit the context button (i don't know the real term, the one in bottom left, brings up the sub-menu). It'll give you a warning about changing the 'view type' to customizable grid. Click the 'switch' button. You should be able to drag whatever application you want down into the bottom-four to replace the initial apps. I replaced the default messaging with Chomp.
When you're done, hit that same Context button and hit 'save'.
You'll also probably want to go back into that context menu, hit the 'view type' button and switch it back to Alphabetical grid. It leaves your bottom 4 alone, just re-organizes the main ones.
That 'edit' menu is also a really easy way to uninstall apps.
Hi,
I am looking for the perfect browser. That to me is a browser where you can open a new tab in the background just by long-pressing the link - without clicking anything else. And when you read a tab, you close it with one click of a button (often the back key), after which it stays on the other open tabs, before, when there are no other tabs open reverting to the first (origional) site. Typcially, you would be reading part of a newspaper, when you see the headings of an interesting article, you long-press the link. When you have opened some tabs (especially if there is a limitation on the number of tabs), you start reading them, and ends up at the frontpage again, and can start opening more tabs again.
And yes, a lot of the browsers can open a tab in the background, but I only know of Xscope that can open a tab in the background just by long-pressing a link.
Opera and Dolphin are almost there in the sense that they stay on the tabs until you have read them all, but you still have to choose what action to take when long-pressing a link, i.e. an extra click every time.
And these do no not stay on open tabs, but goes to first window when closing tab: Chrome, Opera Mini, Next, Maxton, Firefox, One, Baidu, UC Browser.
And why do I not stick to Xscope: because you can only open 6 or 8 tabs at a time, but even worse is that on LG G2, stock, 4.2.2 it does not format the view of the pages so you have to zoom, but that just makes the font too small to read. Worked find on Slimrom on Galaxy SII, so not sure what is wrong.
So, if somebody know of a browser that fits with the above, please let me (us) know.
what is the fastest, easiest way to force stop an app ?? i know settings, apps, find app, but with a bunch of apps its a pita. any other tricks, shortcuts, safe apps, or any other ideas?? not looking at hiding the notification, but stopping the app.
say 2 things, new to oreo and s9, last phone was an s7. anyways, if i had a program running in the notifications, say for my motorcycle gps, tomtom, i was able to long press the notification, then go to app data and force stop. not seeing that anymore.
Trying to find the fastest way to force stop an app running, that has a notification. for example this one says connect device. I am not trying to hide the notification, but force close it when i don't want it running. for example this app gives me live traffic, sometimes i want it, sometimes i don't.
thanks much for the time
settings, developer options, running services
that seems to work too, and the app i want to end is on the first page.
seems easier than the apps, and scrolling down to the Ms
hmm
Greenify, then you can set what you want to force close, and then make a home screen button. Bam it easily blows them away.
Recents, long press the app icon on the left, wait for the i info letter to appear on the right, press i, force stop.
You're welcome

world be nice to find an app that shows ALL opened apps and services and can completely close it in one click.
thank you so much!!!!
I just moved from s7. on s7 android 7 I can long press shortcut on home and can tab on i icon That menu has removed.
The apps you actively use are closed when you swipe them away in recents. You dont need any fancy force closing. Try it. Open recents, swipe away the app, when you open it again it loads from scratch. Or am I missing something?
Smashing the phone on the ground.

That not correct. Some application even you remove it from recent app it still run in background.
In my case Facebook Messenger is often cause media sound issue, after end call sometime media sound route to earpiece. Two way to solve that is kill the app or restart phone.
You can use my apps Killapps and Hibernator
