As of today whenever i open the stock web viewer (internet app) and type a search query into the url bar, the screen suddenly dims and stays like that unless i tap it.
Now i need to type www.google.com then click on the search bar below the logo and enter words to be searched... Dafuq..
Update:
Searching from the google search app also pos up the same problem..
Seriously, wtf is this

Are you connected to a different WiFi network then what you normally are? Are you tethered to a phone, or using 3G?
It works now, and i havent touched or moved the device since posting the forst post.. why did it happen in the first place? I was on house wifi

Sounds to me like it was having trouble contacting the google servers. I'm not really sure what would have caused it though!!
Strange. I've had a Flyer now for about 6 months and never seen this.
I think i got it,
I.have opera mobile beside the normal browser, and haven made any by default, so every time i search sth it dims the screen and asks me which to choose, but yesterday the choose option didnt pop out.. strange though

its seen on other devices as well.
next time, rotate screen and you will see that it will go back to main menu and show the selection window where you can choose the browser to use.
as it happens on all devices its a google bug, which seem to follow from 2.2 and up.

Seems like voice search is turned on lol... Are you rooted? Is the phone brand ass new lol ?
Never heard of the issue? What hboot are you 1.5? What software are you on 2.08 or 2.17?
its a new phone with htc updates not rooted and this is really weird. No matter what browser i use it activates the stupid google voice search and closes my browser. Is there a way to disable the voice search? Or is this phone toast?

There should be I am tryin to figure out why the search would be stuck on that is the part im kinda stumped on.. Never had that search part come on by it's self....
Only way I can turn google voice on in the browser such as you described is to hit the search button in the corner soft key and hit the micro phone in the top right corner of the screen while on the net...
I would try a factory reset.... Do you have any funky 3rd party apps running? From the market like free ones that have permission's they shouldn't have?
You're not accidentally holding the search key are you?

Lol that's what I was getting tooo. Hope that is all it was .. I dunno why it would FC the browser tho... Unless you hold it down and it doesn't know what to do if it keeps tryin to open so it closes everything... If that's not it then it could be a 3rd party app or a factory reset is needed.....
I tried to do it to mine.... Only way I could get voice search to pop up was to hit search button and hit the micro phone in the corner...
Try
Settings/search/searchable items. Then uncheck "voice search" and see if that helps any. If not then try cleaning data on voice search and stock browser to see if it will help any. Also depending on what keyboard you use you could look in the keyboard settings to put the "voice search" option on the symbols keyboard or disable it. Hope this helps.

Well the way i hold the phone is right hand near the camera area and left hand near the volume area. And when i open a browser and go to Craigslist for example eventually very quickly this dam Google voice thing pops up and shut my browser down. Perhaps theirs a short on the phone and it triggers this voice crap or its a setting. But my phone is stock and i did a factory reset and it still does it. Guess this evo i got is buggy. Not a clue what it could be.
What I suggested can be done on stock/unrooted rom.

Hey all, just a weird issue going on. This is my first HTC device so I'm not sure if it's normal or not.
When I'm in any app or app drawer and hit the home button, "Loading" message pops up, and stays there for a good 10 seconds before the home screen pops. Happens each and every time.
Any ideas?
I have not had this happen to me once in the four days I've had it.

It is happening to me. Though, I run memory hog apps. That is the problem you're experiencing. Resources are apparently given to the apps and when you go back to sense (the home screens), android has to re load it. I'm supposing.
Sent from my EVO using XDA
its a bug, its the htc sense reloading, it doesn't keep active in system memory like it should. someone in the one x forums has a fix of you are rooted and comfortable with some command line editing. otherwise, wait for an ota fix coming.
Happened to me once so far.
Try Settings
Developer options
deselect "Don't keep activities"
I have chrome and all kinds of madness installed, but this setting gave me the slow home screen when returning from any app.
Yes its happened to me a few times. Not enough to complain tho.

Just happened to me after supercharging my phone. I changed the "keep at most ____ processes" to 4 (recommended by someone in another thread), so I'll report back if it helps.

This was the answer! For me at least. That was driving me nuts! I thought by turning that on it would have made it faster but no. You saved me countless time with Customer Service if I would have called before checking here. Thank you!

Its not like it on the normal web browser only with s-voice. any help please thanks. And the google "custom search" comes up with some pretty crappy results no matter what I type.

Hi-Thanks for your reply. I have tried what you suggested and it did not work.I have tried a device reset but that didn't work either. Any more suggestions? I think I might know how it happened I accidentally Clicked an Ad for something called battery optimiser on the browser of my device it downloaded it but I did not install it..could this be the problem?? Thanks for any suggestions. I have also run many anti-virus apps but all have said my device is clear.
Hm, open your browser settings and see what it says under default search engine.

Hi yes its Google.com for my browser but it seems to change with s-voice for some reason.
Is there a fix for this?
Did anyone ever find a fix for this? Whenever S Voice has to do a web search, it takes me to a google.com/cse?cx=partner-pub-53243887287072696qccq-17aj&q=suspects#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=suspects&gsc.page=1
The search in this case was for "suspects".
I've recently rooted, but I'm still running the stock ROM (my phone is just rooted)
I've tried clearing the S Voice data and every other search runs fine (Google Voice search, for example). While the S Voice search is not a serious problem, I fear that this may be a symptom of something much deeper. For example, today my clock was several hours off. When it was about 2:30pm , my clock said 1:30am. Don't know if they are related. Just thought I'd throw that in.
All virus scans (Lookout, Avast, AirPush Detector, ect) came up clear.

Hey,
I have a weird problem.... Sometimes (like 2-3 times since i bought my phone in june) i search for something and then a pornpage shows up instead of the searchresults. I use chrome. Believe it or not, but i have never searched for porn or watched porn on my phone....
Anyone who can help me troubleshoot this?
PS! Please, if you cant control yourself and have to answer something stupid, then try to ignore this post.
Thanks
Could looks like network spoofing, do you trust your network provider ? I mean, are you connected to a free hotspot ?

It will be linked for the search results that you have used on your pc whilst logged into your gmail account
The tabs are linked between your chrome browser on the PC and the Chrome browser on your phone whilst logged in with your gmail account

So how can i get rid of that?
You'll never hear me complain about that!
Does an actual website show up? And if so, same one every time? Or are the search results returning porn sites?
Assuming it's an actual site. So you type in the search bar, hit "search" and the site just pops up?
Are you absolutely sure you are on Google when searching? Maybe it's a spoofed web address made to look like it that you somehow bookmarked... Or are you searching in the chrome address bar?

Yes and actual porn page shows up. Dont remeber what page, but always the same. I type in the search field in chrome (not at google.no page) and the page comes automatically up. The searchresults for the actual word is ignored.

Doesnt have to be a suspect app could just be one that has an agreement with an ad company to make more money from the app
I had some free moving wallpapers installed for my children.
But there actually is a lot of "extras" installed and not always cleanly removed when removing the app.
I ended up wiping the phone and start fresh.
OK thanks guys for quick responses Most probably an app that's causing it. Weird that they can overrule chrome's searchresults...

Nop, you are getting search suggestion on what have you searched. That's why I have the web search history turned off: https://history.google.com/history/?hl=en&ctz=-120
you can also out-out here: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/ or remove the porn websites from your "interest" list
are you logged in to your google account on your PC or laptop? and is someone else using it? If so maybe chrome synced search results from pc to your phone

In my case i got the result page before "hitting enter" So it was really annoying, but it did not happen all the time.
Could be your search provider??
Is there an option to change search provider in chrome?

Search history i turned off years ago No way google is tracking me! I have also opted out.
Surprised nobody has posted anything on this but here's my issue, every time I try to log on to the desktop version (yes I have the setting checked for this) it throws in the "m" for mobile.....I have tried other browsers after the stock one was doing this, they all seem to do it so I'm assuming it's the phone itself. Can anyone else test this.
I use the ics browser+ when I want to view facebook or any other site in desk top works great
