So this is a weird one, I haven't seen this mentioned before. At random times, while my phone is locked and in my holster, apps open on their own. I will pick up the phone, turn the screen on, unlock it and the Internet will be opened to my home page (Google). I know it wasn't like that before I turned the screen off. It's been like that on any rom I run. Right now I'm on the rooted stock rom. Any one else seen this?
I get the same thing once in awhile. Usually the last Google search I did.
At one point it would have xda open in browser, which I don't use.

I haven't experienced anything like this. Is it always the internet app that is open? Or is there other apps that wil randomly start as well?
For me always internet.
I run the Badseed tranquility ROM. Rls 3 s-off with latest radio update.

I wondering if there is come hiccup with the internet app. Have you tried a different internet app like google chrome? Maybe make that the default browser and see if you have any issues.
Good idea. Thanks.

I'll try that too, now that I think about it, it is just the internet app.
Must've been just the stock browser. I've been running maxthon browser and it hasn't auto-opened.
Happens to my wife all the time, she would come to me complaining and getting frustrated, turned out when she went to turn off the screen her palm would open what she had on the bottom right side of the screen lol. Not saying thats your problem but could be, to be honest its happened to me a couple times

Now I've got an interesting one. I flashed stock w/ goodies 2.14 today, on a reboot the dialer is automatically opened. Just to test, I flashed back to stock and have the same issue. The only new thing I did was use superwipe prior to each flash and I've never used it before. I've seen this mentioned before in another thread but I couldn't find it again. Anyone else have this happen? It doesn't affect functionality, but kind of annoying.

This is the second TB I rooted via the adb process. The first time I did this I ran into 0 issues.
I replaced my original TB about a week ago and went through the adb rooting process on my new TB. It seemed like the second time went smoothly when I rooted my phone. I installed the das BAMF 1.7 Rom after flashing clockwork. All went well except it didn't provide rosie setting app that allows users to select the right fixed homescreen button of their choice.
I decided to go back to das BAMF 1.6.1 since I was familiar with the Rom as it was the one I used on my original TB.
Now to the issues I've experienced:
I am unable to purchase apps from the Android market. I can download the ones I've purchased in the past or download any of the free apps on the market. But I am just not able to purchase a new app from there. A network error message pops up every time I try to do so. Irrelevant I'm sure but I have no issues with the amazon app store.
Browser issues. I'm not sure what it is but viewing select web pages forces my browser to shut down. When I reopen the browser it goes right back to my homepage, not the page I was just on. I've tried the stock browser, opera and dolphin. They all experience the same problem.
Apps closing on their own. Some of the apps that pull information directly from a website will close depending on what is currently being viewed in the app. Example would be the xda app. Some of the threads cause the app to close on its own and when I reopen the app it goes right back to the home view I set it to display, not he thread I was viewing. Another example of this is pulse reader...same thing is going on with this. I realize these app issues are related to the same issue I'm experiencing via my browser but its annoying none the less.
Anyone have any suggestions, experiencing similar problems or can be of any help because I'm stumped.

I would re-download the rom, wipe everything (data/cache/davlik) and flash the rom again. Download flash from the market, and that will stop your browser from closing randomly.
mother effer! of all things I did forget to download flash. that's a little embarrassing but thanks. I'll read download the rom tomorrow and give it a try .

Same thing happened to me, and I was wondering the same thing, D/L flash and all the browser problems went away.
I've had this issue for awhile and wasn't sure what to do.I know on the og EVO that the websites would shrink the size down to where you could read them.
Well on my 3d EVO I load up a page and it never shrinks the page to where you can read it..Well instead the page reloads its self repeatedly and shoots everything to the right kinda like a typewriter. Then after it reloads 100 times it leaves dots all the way to the left and the page disappears. There is nothing you can do to stop it unless you reload page for it to happen again. I'm not sure if its a phone issue or something else cause on my original EVO it never had this problem. Any ideas on what I should do? Sounds kinda confusing cause its something you have to see and its very frustrating..especially when you want to read something.

I have experienced this same problem! And man is it frustrating! Not sure what causes it, but for me its only on a few website, CNet certainly does it for me. Try messing with your browser settings, you can alter how it loads pages. Also, how it displays them.
Yeah very hard to explain to the people who don't have the problem.. but it happens 75% of the time on most sites. The settings don't do anything for me.

Well you could try just clearing the data on the stock browser. If your using it. If that fails to work for you may I ask what browser are you using and what do you have your settings at???

Anything on this? I have the same issue. I notice it constantly refreshes the page, but I cant see one bit of difference. I can let it just sit there, not touch anything and it'll refresh at very least twice a min. And it only seems to do it on this website. I've pulled battery and restarted the phone. This is using the internet browser that came on the phone, havent tried Opera yet.
I've tried two Rezounds this week, and get browser crashes on both. It seems pretty random, but usually happens after using the browser for 5-10 minutes.
It's happened a few times in here and when browsing through Howard Forums.
I guess I'll need to download Dolphin browser and see if it crashes too.
I've had Dolphin crash on me a few times.
Has not happened to me yet on Opera.

Check your browser cache in Settings>Applications. My browser crashes on my DInc if it goes more than a few days without a restart. Clearing the cache often helps.

i haven't had the browser crash, but i have had weird things happen...
sometimes i'll click on a link, and nothing seems to happen.. i'll think 'huh? did it not register?' and then all of a sudden it's on the new page fully loaded.
also, there's times when i'll click on something and it'll think i clicked on a link right above where i actually did click. (and yes i've tried calibration & also using the gingerbread keyboard)
well, considering mine has a dead pixel anyway i'm just going to exchange it.
I went to dolphin h d browser soon as I could, I couldn't stand the original browser the way it cut off the notification bar.

The 1st Rezound I tried also had a dead pixel almost right in the center of the screen, but the 2nd unit doesn't have any dead pixel.
I have also noticed when using the web browser that when I click on link, it may just sit there. When I click on the link again, nothing happens. I have to go back one page and then forward for the link to open.
After using Dolphin browser for a day, I've had it crash and close unexpectedly a few times. I'm starting to think it may be an underlining issue with the phone it self.
Had my phone for 4 days now and the browser is yet to crash with extensive use.

Another issues I've noticed is that sometimes pictures don't load in the browser and show a question mark. Pressing on the Refresh icon usually fixes it.
But this has also happened when using the Facebook app, as some pictures just don't show unless you exit and restart the app.
Just curious how many people are having issues with stock Google apps and the stock browser after the ota update. The Gmail and maps will get stuck on a white screen as does the stock browser and the play store will just lock up on whatever screen it was currently on. Google wallet will freeze during the unlocking your device notice. These are the only ones I have found so far but I had none of these issues before the ota update. A phone restart will fix it for a period of time but I'm currently having to restart my phone 2 times a day to get the apps to work properly again.

I also forgot to add that during the restart after the screen turns off you can will change the ring volume up and down and hear it change for 2-3 seconds before the phone actually does restart. I noticed this when I had my Bluetooth headset still connected and it was not telling me it was disconnected for at least 4-5 seconds after the screen turned off unlike before the update when it was no more than a second.

Mine does this as well, the only "fix" I have found for it is rebooting the phone. Then it works for a few days until it randomly decides to freeze again.
I was having the same problems where the browser will be a white screen and not work. I went twrp and wipe cache/dalvik cache and haven't had a problem since

After the update! The stock browser doesn't highlight the the URL address when tapped like before...Instead we have to manually delete the URL to search something else or press the little X after tapping on the URL.
Wtf!? Yeah count me in too. I just did a restart and it didn't fix problem. Gwallet still in notification bar saying initializing.

Also been having the same problem since updating, most noticable with the browser just being a white screen. Tried wiping cache & dalvik cache again, doesn't seem to help. Stock ROM with S-OFF. Surprised I haven't seen more mentions of this problem, but perhaps it's not widespread?
Well as I've learned over my time at xda updates are always catch 22's. That's why I choose to wait and read users feedback on how the latest ota is functioning. However none if this is revelant to your issues just figured I'd post it for future reference. Also have you guys tried a full wipe of your current rom? After you make a backup of your data of course to see if that will help ??

Yeah...I was having the same problem after the ota, but after a couple of reboots things started to work right.
Im having this too, is getting very annoying. Sometimes i just want to use the phone quickly for something and have to re-start the phone... I feel like breaking it against the floor.

I wound up here after searching for this error, which just started with me yesterday with the browser (stock). It just displays a white screen when I try to use it.
I've had the latest update (flashed with 1.22.651.3 odexed ROM from xHausx and firmware from Captain Throwback) about a week now and this just started happening yesterday.
Yesterday I somehow got it to work again by clearing the Internet cache and then I performed a search from the Google search bar and all was well. I was thinking at the time that it was stuck on a particular page and that this got around it. But that fix isn't working for me today, so I'm going to try to clear dalvik/cache from twrp as recommended here and see where that gets me.
It's good to know I'm not the only one though... I wonder if there's anything else more specific we all have in common since we seem to be a fairly small subset. Maybe we all flashed the Odexed update for example?
EDITED TO ADD: Appears to affect Gmail too. And possibly several other Google apps as mentioned here and in other threads. Since there was a Gmail update I did yesterday, I'm going to try to uninstall that as mentioned in this other thread I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810829

NOT helpful at all since it affects not only the stock browser but other Google apps as well.
Refer back to my original post which I updated with additional information.
I've found if I reboot and never use the stock browser I don't have the white screen problem. I set maxthon as the default and act like the stock browser doesn't exist.

I reverted back to the previous version of Gmail yesterday hoping that would fix the problem but it still happened. This morning when I clicked an email notification from my status bar, Gmail did the white screen thing and needed to be shut down manually. Just to verify that this and the browser incident were related, I tried to launch the stock browser and it too was white screen.
So those of you suggesting to install an alternate browser to get around this issue need to understand that this is a lot more widespread than the browser alone. For me, both my Gmail and Google Offers were white screens this morning upon trying to launch them so it definitely appears to affect all Google apps.
Yeah this happens to me as well. Its really bad now. Nothing fixes. It does it on all the roms with newer OTA for me. Only two roms will work for me without this problem. I have tried everything. Wiped everything, Reflashed, Checked my sd card, factory reset, you name it. It even does it on restored roms that didn't have the problem before. I don't know what to do....
A developer told me to try and manual flash boot.img through fastboot but I'm not even sure how to do that. Need to read up on it.
I have had the issue to wear when I am trying to open the browser app, it will actually freeze the entire phone until I hit the home button repeatedly in play store will not load anything until I fully restart the phone I've tried fixing for missions do a nandroid restore nothing seems to work

Hey folks,
Anyone have slowness within apps like handscent or chompsms? I thought it was a problem with handscent and switched to chomp but still have the same problem. When I go to open up a thread it stays on a blank transitions screen for a good 5 seconds at times and bouncing between conversations it loads them so slow. I have a stock untouched phone and just wondering if it is just me or what. I have rebooted and it does not seem to help. I guess I should use the stock app and see how it goes huh....

What helped for me on my OG evo 4g is that I disabled defaults for stock messaging app. Try that and tell me if it helps.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
That is the first thing I do....it is also slow in ChompSMS. The default messaging app works fine. It definitely has something to do with 3rd party apps like Handscent and ChompSMS.....oh well.
I've been having this problem too. I am running Mean ROM 5.9. I was using Handcent. Since the problem starting happening, I believe in the last month or so, I've been switching between that and the stock messenger to see which works better. I just uninstalled Handcent in case that was a problem. It doesn't seem to be helping so far though. Maybe I'll try a restart.
I'm running the Viper 4G ROM and I started having this problem like a month ago using Handcent. It sometimes takes almost a full minute when I first try to open the app.
I think this could be an issue with the Facebook contact syncing. See here.
