If there any way to close out the browser? When I close the last page, it just shows a blank page and I have to press back to get out of it and not necessarily close out though
Good question.. I get the same thing with the stock browser. I thought it was something I did, but I guess not. I have my homepage set at Google.com, but when I have multiple pages open and I close them out, the last page is blank. It even says blank as the Web address. I would like it to always end with my Google homepage. Not sure if this is possible... Just a bit annoying!

Every single day , my stock web browser loses the sites I had open. For example, I'll have three Windows open, three different websites. I don't use my phone for a while and come back, they are all gone ! Even if I leave it on Yahoo.com it will reset to default which is Google.com, basically it won't just keep the sites I leave it on, it returns to home and its very annoying. Is there anything that can be done??

Use a different browser.
I personally use Dolphin Mini.
Free on the market.

I had Dolphin on my G2X but it did the same thing, constantly lost the tabs I had open, shut closed on its own losing any pages, etc.. I'll try it again, but that's why I stuck with the stock browser so far.

That's weird cause I've never had a problem with Dolphin.
And I exit back to hitting back or hitting "menu" and then exit.
When I open Dolphin back up all my tabs are still there.
Maybe the internet doesn't like you?

I guess not. Downloaded Dolphin and I just don't like it, so I'll have to deal with the stock browser or find another one. Not sure why it would take those about pages away to save cache?

UC Browser on my Amaze keeps 8-10 tabs easily for a couple days..
I like the default browser but whats the deal with the copy/paste function? You know how you hold your finger on a spot in a text space and that little popup menu with tbe copy paste functions come up? For some reason it isn't working in the dumb mobile facebook inbox messages. I copied a link and was going to paste it into a reply I was writing but that dumb menu won't come up for nothing. Nothing happens. Thats the only text box it wont work in. So... I go to the full version Facebook site (which is zippy btw). Try the inbox there.... I load a message and suddenly it's like THE FORCE is affecting the screen. On full FB inbox message screen, it's like the screen keeps trying to move to the left, and it resists all attempts from you to straighten it to center.. Am i sounding weird or does this make any sense at all?
If you happen to use Swype, you can Swype from the "Swype key" to the letter "v" for pasting what's on your copy clipboard
I've had the same issue with the page constantly moving and not allowing entire sections to be viewed. It seems like it has something to do with the browser trying to format the text for mobile. Usually using Dolphin or another browser and/or turning mobile view off helps.
Whatever the name of the default browser is, mobile mode is off. I have tried Facebook in Opera Mobile. And in Opera on full FB inbox, the same problem happens inside the messages. The screen keeps moving to the left. It only does it inside messages on full version Facebook. Dolphin browser seems to use a ginormous amount of RAM just for small pages. It used over 118mb on google once.. Idk why so much memory usage. The computer never uses that much unless its tons of flash ads and java. Hmm
Is there a shortcut to access copy/paste like ctrl+v? No ctrl key. And I don't use Swype. Thanks for the help.

hmm, I thought I could with swiftkey. Guess I it was slide it. Sorry.
Swype does it for sure, not sure why others don't have this function. Very useful.
Has anyone noticed if you type in or even tap a link for a website that happens to have an app you are forced to the market for the app.
Type in http://www.speedtest.net in the default browser.
Even if I tap the link in a text message it goes to market.
Even if you click on the home page link in the market it sends you right back to market.
This only happens with the default browser. Using another browser doesn't redirect.
Has anyone figured out a way around this?

Wow, I hadn't seen that yet, but you're right. Goes right to the market, or play, or whatever you want to call it.
wow so annoying! i never use the stock browser so i hadn't noticed. i wonder what goes through marketbutt idiot's minds when they come up with this [email protected]?
Actually even if you tap the link in my post it redirects to the market regardless which browser you tell it.
Even more annoying.

It redirects you because you're user agent setting in the browser is set to Android. Set it to desktop and you'll get in. If you don't see user agent in your browser's settings, try typing about:debug in the address bar, then go into settings and see if it's there. I'm using a X2 right now and running cm7 so the setting is always there. Before cm7 though, typing that in the address bar would add another item in the settings. Debug maybe? I don't remember. Anyway, I'd find it in that extra entry in the settings.
Can't say for sure at the moment as I don't have a Razr right now. It's ordered and will be here tomorrow. Otherwise, I'd check it out myself. Only problem is the setting doesn't stick. Reboot your phone and the next time you use the browser, you have to do it again.
I pulled Opera Mobile from the market at set it as desktop and it works. But stuck with desktop versions all the time.
I realize that it only happens with very few sites but it's ridiculous that google would not pop up a choice instead of forcing me to market for an app that's already installed. Thanks for the advice.

I tried Dolphin HD, set it to desktop and good to go.
That's one annoying feature I never saw on my OD Droid X.
Using dolphin browser hd, your link directed me to the intended website.

This worked for me. Thanks! I don't know if it will survive a reboot, though. It added a new set if options in the settings menu under "debug." I changed "set UAString" from Android to Desktop. There were options for iPhone and Froyo N-1 also.
I just got my brand new SGS3 and while surfing the internet, I realized that when using google search, the recent/popular search suggestions below do not work.I can click them, but once clicked nothing happens. It's suppose to redirect me to the new search. Has anyone experienced the same thing when using google search on the SGS3?
This only occurs when I search directly form google.com. Bing and yahoo searches work fine however. The suggestions below their respective search boxes can be clicked and it redirects fine.
Probably the stock browser is at fault? It's annoying to have to type the entire search since the suggestions cannot be clicked... anyone think of why it's only google.com that has this problem?
Mine does the same but there's an arrow on the right side you can click and it fills in the search bar...still very annoying cause I always end up hitting the phrase first instead of the arrow.

That's very strange. I've never had that problem and I've used 3 different browsers including stock. If you really want to use the stock browser and you're rooted try flashing GApps on it which may fix it, or just try a different browser like Chrome.
When I come to this forum, I sometimes need to go back to a topic/thread that I started to reference information but I cannot find a way to do this. If I click on the member icon in the upper right hand corner of the page, all I get is a login popup and no access to my account. What am I missing here? Thanks.

If you enter your info in the login popup, what happens? It just repeatedly asks you to log in?
You tried different browsers?

Yes, it does repeatedly ask me to sign in. I am using the same Opera browser that I have always used. And now, I am not getting any email notices of replies to my threads either. Thanks for the reply.

My best guess is something privacy related -- VPN, browser setting -- is blocking this. One browser I use (Brave) won't let me search in XDA threads, while another (Chrome) does.
Just try another browser (like Chrome) temporarily as an experiment. If it works then check your Opera settings.

Thanks for the suggestion to try another browser. Chrome worked just fine so I looked at the settings in my Opera browser and for some reason, this forum was not on the exceptions list any longer. So I added this URL and all is back as it should be again. Thanks for your help. Now if I could get an answer to my problem with making slo-mo videos.

I've had this issue sooooooooo many DAMN times on my PC. Using Google to log in. It's a pain in the arse! Download XDA Labs. Easier to login and stay logged in.

As an edit, on PC, the new MS Edge seems to login fine. Something with chrome gives issues?

Thanks for the suggestion but it was a problem with my Opera browser that I now have fixed. The browser had somehow deleted this forum URL from it's safe list. Once I added the URL back into the list, all is fine. I don't usually use my phone for web related things unless I have to. I don't even check my email on my phone unless I am away from home for a long while.
