For some reason, the browser back button doesn't work on some websites. I have tried every browser available, and they all have the same problem. It works fine on this website, but other sites it just sits there when I hit the back button.
Some websites have a java applet loaded that blocks the back button working. Try double clicking it (double tapping) it, so the applet doesn't have time to execute before the browser actually goes back.
Some websites detect a mobile device and forward you to their mobile site. Pressing back brings you to the page that initially forwarded you so you immediately get forwarded to the mobile site again. Long pressing back will bring up your history so you can use that to get back past the forwarding page.
This should be considered a browser bug as hitting back on an http 302 should skip all locations replying with the 302.

I've double clicked real fast and it ends up bringing me back to my homepage.

hello.
when i use the internet browser over wifi everything works fine.
But when i go in the seller central of the amazon site (i am seller on amazon), i enter my login and password.
it goes on the seller central main page.
when i click on "stock", it goes back to the login page....
and then i have a HP logo that appears on the middle of the screen (black screen) for about 30 secondes and then goes back to the webos desktop.
do you know what does mean the black screen with the hp logo in the middle ?
thank you
I have notice weird issues similar to this too. They seem to stem from a mishandling of cookies or something. I can't log into chase.com and if you click a link then back, it never returns you to the position you were when you clicked the link. Annoying to say the least
+1 for random bugs/glitches with the browser
Same here guys, odd goings on with the browser...
ok so this is a little strange...
i installed 3 programs and one of them has changed the way this tablet works.
i noticed that now when it is turned on it displays the word "ENGLISH" in the middle of the screen and this never happened before i installed 3 programs:
App Locker 2 paid
easy pic "or whateer it's called from the first page of the apps section"
Order and Chaos non official version -probably the culprit but i'm not sure
so my browser starts acting funny, giving me new popup screens above my password screens
and whenever i turn on the device it says "ENGLISH" on the screen. also it has been just connecting to the net and transferring information when not in use and when not ordinarily checking for updates
i tried to factory reset in the settings menu but when i turned it back on for the first time it displays: "ENGLISH" in the middle still... which means whatever was acting up is still there after a "delete everything factory reset"
if anyone could advise me of this it'd be GREAT thanks so much, or i can just return it and get a different pad
Whenever I boot my Prime after shutting it off completely, not just putting it to sleep, it shows "English" for a second on the screen as it is booting. Always has as far as I remember.
I don't have the browser issue you mention.

browser thing
yeah, the browser thing is strange. it's like a second box to type in overlays on top of the typing field and i can see the words or passwords or whatever i'm typing in the overlayed box and part of them underneath in the mostly covered box.
i changed all of my passwords to all of my major accounts like ebay, paypal, gmail etc just in case but that started happening at the same time as the "english" word that now comes up whenever i turn it on and sometimes when i bring it back from sleep for over 5 hours.
So I managed to track down a Prime at BestBuy and I just bought it. I came to university, opened it up and started setup. When it got to the wifi network section I connected to my university's wifi successfully and then it asked me for my google account which i input but then i got a message that there was no data connection. It was then that I remembered that in order to gain internet access in my university i have to input my student info on a page (think starbucks that you can connect but you dont get internet access until you accept some agreement on their page). However in the setup i have no way of doing this and im stuck in the setup. Whenever i hit back (so i could skip the google account part) what it does is try to login to google servers again, and of course i keep getting the same "no connection" message. I cant get out of this "loop".
Could anyone help?
Skip the Google account, open the browser, and sign in to gain access. Then go to Settings, Accounts, and add your Gmail from there.

that is what i wanted to do once i realized i had to sign in. when it asked me for the google account i had 3 options "use existing" "create new" "skip". At first i chose "use existing" and the rest is what i explained in my original post. However i can no longer go back to this menu so i can choose "skip". Whenever i hit back, it tries to login to google again. it doesnt go back to initial page where i could skip...
Agreed. Skip the account setup, fire up your browser and register on the network and then setup your google account.
Also, not to be a nag, but instead of the vague "someone please help" title, it would have been better to put some detail in there.

About the first, please see my reply before yours.
About the second, I agree, I'm sorry.

if its not letting you get back to the page to skip, then just reboot the tablet or factory reset to start process over it. or try a soft reset before the factory reset. soft reset is sticking a paper clip into the hole on the volume rocker side. right underneath the micro SD card slot. press until it clicks then you should see it reset. then hopefully it'll let you start the process all over again so you can log your student info in first. then once connected, you can always add your Google info in afterwards.
goodluck!
Removed... Demandarin beat me to the post
Try this too, it was offered to me by Aznmode to try when my prime screen stayed black... This should factory reset your device. I coulnt see the screen so I dont know if it works.
1. Hold volume down then press and hold power.
2. When you feel it vibrate (this could take up to 10 seconds if the tablet was already on) wait another 5 seconds and then release both buttons.
3. After you release wait another 5 seconds (dont wait too long here or it will reboot on its own if you dont select anything after about 10 seconds) then press volume down 1 time and volume up 2 times.
4. The tablet will factory wipe and after another 10 seconds it will reboot.
I turned it off, turned it back on and setup began from the beginning. This time I chose "skip" etc. All good.
Thanks all.
Hahahaha, guess that was easier
You could also just setup your prime at home wifi where you need not login...

From his post he is away from home and at his university, so, it could be awhile before he gets back home.
Any possible workarounds for getting off the retrieve pattern lock if you have forgotten a gmail acct? Done doing factory reset via cwm and tried installing stock rom and kernel but it always ends the same way. With customs, I always get a bootloop.

i seems an answer is in the post a few below yours::
Samsung Galaxy SCH-i500 how to bypass "Login with google account" screen?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182268
Quote:
1. Completely power off and power on your Galaxy-S phone.
2. Right after you pass the Galaxy-S and just before the Verizon Wireless logo video ends, immediately tap on the home button extremely fast and repeatedly (at least 4-5 times per second). If the Emergency Call button pops up, click that every now and then (3-5 times) but keep tapping on the home button. During this process your phone may flash the password screen or keypad screen just a few times and your phone will seem to be lagging due to the tapping.
3. Keep tapping until you see your Android home buttons stay steady at the bottom. Voila, you’re in your phone! If the emergency keypad constantly shows up or if it shows the Google account screen constantly, you have failed. The success rate can be around 15-50% so keep trying until it works. (You may want to grab a young phone-savvy guy or girl to do it if your fingers are too slow)
4. Find and run the Settings App and go to Accounts & Sync.
5. Under Manage Accounts, remove all accounts except your Google account.
6. Press your power button off and on and enter your correct Google account information.
7. It will ask for a new security pattern. Enter it twice and you are done!
This solution worked for me. If it does for you, please leave a comment with your carrier and phone model to let others know that it worked!
... but worked just fine.
.
will try this method. will keep you posted if successful or not.
managed to get in. but now theres a new one. somehowmthe owner had a tw launcher installed and im'm stuck on fc error message. if i try to close it, i'm back on the gmail acct retrieval. hmmmmm.....
Looks to me that o won't he able to do the above steps. Hands are too slow. Also found out that it's like a common issue to the sgs stock recovery. Used odin and flashed cwm 2.5.1.x instead amd wipe from there. Worked like a charm.

Hi,
First of all, my home button don't work correctly. When I do a simple click and a long click, absolutely nothing happens. But if I do a double click, it does work fine.
Secondly, some overlays don't comes up, like notification or volume changing pop-up or Facebook messenger chat heads just showing the wallpaper not the chat.
Finally, when I receive links from message or mail and click on it and it opens chrome (it's the default one) but it doesn't open the link.
Sometimes ago, I had just the 2 first problems. And just by restarting my phone all was gone.
But now I get all the 3 problems. I tried to factory reset my phone and it fixed the problem but then I had to restart my phone. And all the problems were back.
I got the galaxy note 3 (SM-N9005) with the firmware N9005XXUGBOJ2.
Thank you in advance for the help
