Chrome still freezes and locks the N10. Have to reboot so the software update didnt change this for me. I will just stick to Dolphin as I get no freezes using that browser.

Can you reproduce the crash? I've used Chrome, on 4.2.2, and have had no crashes (I don't even think I had any crashes in the past either).

Same.. Never a crash on 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 and I've always used Chrome..
I think it might just be my device as I got freezes with chrome from the day I bought it. I stop using Chrome and lockups stopped. Just got the update two days ago and I used Chrome for the first time and the first website I went too and was reading an article, it froze up and I had to do a hard reset. I'm all stock and not rooted.

returned?
I haven't had any crashes or any issues that everyone else has had. Maybe its because I waited to buy my nexus 4 and nexus 10 until February but if I did experience any of those issues I would have returned the device. Why bother with it? That's just my two cents but thank god I haven't had any issues, Yet!! And hopefully I never do
No need to return as I perfer Dolphin anyways, which solved my problem. I bought it from Staples in Jan. and would have been easy to return if I chose too.

Mine crash like nobody business using chrome at 4.2 or 4.2.1
The problem was fix for me after running 4.2.2, by the way I am using latest chrome beta as it perform much better.
Odd, got mine in November and have never had a chrome crash/freeze or hard restart. Admittedly, my average use is less than 3 hours daily, but still...

Did you try the newest Chrome beta?
Chrome still crashes for me.
I have Chrome neatly frozen with Titanium Backup since I got the N10 (I had terrible experience with it on my phone). Never had any problems related to it.
This thread begs my question. I am using Chrome Beta but what do you do with the native Chrome? I have both installed because it seems like Chrome is pretty well integrated into the system and there isn't a uninstall option.
I could freeze it but don't want it to cause any issues.
Any thoughts or experiences?

I use Chrome beta, and have had 1 hard-freeze in Chrome in approx 20 hours use since the upgrade to 4.2.2. Being the beta version of Chrome it can occasionally crash also, but its not too often this happens now either. I don't mind Chrome crashing every few hours as its only a 3 second job to press the button on my homescreen with my tabs still loaded when it re-opens, but freezes are not cool.
Before that, I was on cyanogenmod and Chrome would get a freeze every 5 hours or so.
Only had occasional freezes in Chrome beta since early December. In over 100 hours uptime since installing 4.2.2 I've only used Chrome (not beta!) and had zero lagging, zero freezes and no reboots.
... beamed from my Nexus 10 to your planet
I was having major problems with chrome after 4.2.2 it was just being sluggish and locking up for seconds or more at a time, rebooting seems to fix it and the problem is intermittent.
I have always had lock up and restart problems in chrome on my Nexus 10. I cannot see a particular repeatable browser action and/or site that causes the lock up, but the process is always the same:
Browsing, chrome hangs, screen buttons freeze, and after multiple screen touches the device will shut down and restart.
Happens perhaps 3-4 times a week
I have also had it lock up like that one time while using the cameras, but only once. I have owned the device since launch.

I had crashes several times per day with Chrome (beta and stock)and 4.2.1. I've had zero crashes under 4.2.2 with Chrome beta. I haven't tried the stick version under 4.2.2.
I used to continually have issues with chrome locking or rebooting. Not sure if it was the change to 4.2.2 or the fact I finally bit the bullet and rooted then installed Seeder and LagFix Free but I haven't had a lock up since and things seem to be running faster than ever!!!! Still stock rom and kernel
I still get crashes with 4.2.2, but it's much reduced compared to 4.2.1. I used to be getting several a day and now it's every couple days.
For those with issues, have you performed a factory reset?

Because mine sucks. It has reverted to locking up after every 2nd or 3rd page like it did on .11. On a positive note, this is the first update for me with absolutely no reboots, although I would rather have browser working properly again and deal with the 1 reboot a day I was having.
Anyway this isn't really here as a complaining thread, I'm just interested to see if this is commonly affecting people or if I should try a factory reset.
EDIT: sorry for the duplicate thread, I just found the other one that I somehow missed when I was scanning over the other thread topics in this section
Sigh, I got my first reboot AND browser lockup with this update lol. Its OK though between ics+ and chrome I'm fully covered. Reboot has happened once and lockups several times. How can I watch pron if my browser locks up? Answer that one Asus!

My browser has been slow also it keeps locking up and I have to close out of It and shut down the tasks then i am able to get back into it. .14 I didn't have any of these issues with the browser
i didn't noticed anything still same
but about update .15 was very fast
The freezing issue has went away using ics browser + for me. I have the C1 model if that matters.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
mine is much much better and way more quicker,
However it seems that it now opens a new tab each time I click a link.
slightly annoying however I'll live with it for the extra speed.
I have almost zero browser freezing after the .15 update - been very happy with it
Browser is pretty good, fast and smooth, although i think once it locked up completely and forced a reboot. I dont have random reboots or anything i'm pretty sure that one was caused by the browser locking up.
Apart from that everything's fine. Oh youtube servers totally suck the last few days But that problem occurs on all my devices and for everyone around here...
My browser now sucks with .15. (BCOKAS)
- It's a lot slower.
- It freezes a lot
- It crashes.
- On .11 it was way faster, better and more stable.
- when I turn javascript off it's blazing fast.
Looking forward to .16
OK with ICS+, but Chrome crashed on my first use, second page after .15
Thanks for the input, sounds like I should try the ics+ browser. Chrome seems to be working really well right now for me, but it doesn't have flash which is kinda meh for me. I would really love to know why everyone has such different experiences with updates, but I would be shocked if there was a person alive that actually knew the answer...
My stock browser is the same with .15 as before...slow, becomes unresponsive to taps after a while, and crashes. I use Dolphin instead.
I just got mine a few days ago, updated to 15 as soon as i powered it on. My only issue with the browser is it will randomly close itself, no fc or anything. Otherwise no issues
ICS browser + is faster but has this strange scroll lag for me.
Going to try the new opera mobile version now. (has flash now)
I have had a bunch of issues with freezes and fc's as well don't know what gives

Have you guys tried going to settings -> apps -> find the browser app and clear its cache? It solved my problems.
I clear cache, cookies, forms, and passwords regularly. It doesn't matter. I have tried incognito so I don't have to do that but it doesn't make a difference. I also have desktop page checked.
Before 15 the only issue I had was GPS and Wifi wasn't stellar.
With 15 I now have reboots daily *sigh* and I also see a lot more "close/wait" popups (mainly in the browser).
My TP only rebooted once when i was on .11 firmware. Now im in .15 and it restarted 3x already. Always when i was in browser having multiple tabs open and watching some flash related stuff. There definately room for improvement
Tablet significantly slower with the latest update. Browsing is also much slower with more lockups. .15 was a massive step back for me as the previous one was working so nicely!
Seems like after this latest chrome update, Chrome now freezes when switching between multiple tabs. I'm running latest HTC software version 2.17.605.2 710RD with the latest Chrome update 18.0.1025464.
Tested with another Dinc4 running 2.17.605.2 710RD and the previous version of Chrome 18.0.1025308 with no issues. As soon as that phone was updated to Chrome 18.0.1025464 same issues appeared... rendering Chrome useless.
Anyone else having Chrome issues with their Dinc4?
I have the same problem, though it is intermittent.

Mine started intermittent but now Chrome is un-usable. Did a full factory reset from boot screen and SD format, still no go. I can open multiple tabs but as soon as I try to switch between them they freeze and load blank pages. Then all the tabs freeze and I have to exit the app and go back in to close the tabs out.
Frustrating...
I posted on the google issue's board and also let HTC know about it as well. Pretty sure it has something to do with the latest Chrome update as the other phone running old version was fine, updated to latest Chrome and now it freezes.
I have this intermittent issue on this device as well as the Asus TF101, so I think it's a Chrome issue, not device-specific.

+1 happens to me sometimes too
Happens to me as well, since the Chrome UG. I like Chrome but I've switched to Dolphin for now. I just got cloud printing going near the same time as the Chrome update (which required me to load Chrome on my laptop -- connected to my printer). I wonder if there's any connection there??
I'm having the same issue too. It is intermittent and clearing the Chrome cache seems to help for a little while. Really hope they get this fixed.

I've opened up an issue ticket on the Google ticket site. I suggest everyone with a Dinc4 experiencing Chrome issues star that issue and comment to see if we can get some traction with Google. I'm afraid because we don't own an S3 we won't get noticed...
Issue 159481: Chrome Android Tabs Freeze
Chrome sent out an update 11/28. Issue is still present, no changes.
I'm having this issue as well and it appears to be getting worse and worse. I've also noticed many people on other sites also have this issue with the Droid Inc 4G .
So, so, so frustrating. I wish someone at Google will stumble on this problem. ugh
I've been having issues with the stock browser loading blanks and sometimes just jumping to the home screen instead of loading. Also wants to restart quite a few times. " site not responding would you like to restart?" Espn is the site that likes to restart and this site is the only that likes to jump to my home screen. Anyone else? It only started about the time we got our global update, sooooo.?

Hi Everyone,
I need help on my nexus 5/Android 4.4.2. I want to be able to troubleshoot and figure out why my nexus 5 is acting strange -at least the OS part of it.
A BIT OF HISTORY: I just recently purchased this phone in the US through a friend.
THE SITUATION/ISSUES:
- When I go to the app drawer, sometimes the wall paper in the background turns black and comes back just after I tap a an app
- When I use the chrome browser and surf the web some something, it reloads the page I am viewing without me triggering reload. It's kinda annoying that it reloads pages i am viewing. Quiet a few times chrome crashed.
- When I use youtube and tap the voice command to search for videos, it accepts the command but it doesn't load the videos I wanted to search.
- Sometimes, when I tap the home button it kinda reloads the home screen.
I thought that it might be just the OS and maybe a glitch or something. I tried factory reset (vanilla android) a few times but it is the same. I have tried cyanogenmod 11 on it and it is still the same issues.
I am a newbie. This is my first nexus android. I have used HTC desire HD for a month and it doesn't have this problem.
If I am unclear with describing my situation/problem please let me know.

Since it persists in different roms looks like a hardware issue.. More of an ram issue is what I can make of.. Take a logcat and send it my way and I'll look at it.
The last 2 errors are pretty common. The last one is because your launcher is not locked on ram.

Thanks for the reply MasterAwesome.
I have just downloaded aLogCat to log issues on my phone. Once I've gathered enough activity/issues, I'll send it your way.
Are issues likes these common in Nexus 5's? I've reverted back to my Stock Android.
YouTube issue: I didn't update the YouTube app and the voice search feature on it worked fine - at least for now that seems to be the fix for it.
Chrome Browser reloading issue: I haven't found a fix but Chrome Beta seem to work fine. Still reloads but not quite as often. I think this reloading issue isn't just contained in Chrome Browser.
Skype Video Call issue: I forgot to mention that I used Skype for a video call once and every 1-3 minutes the video drops (but not the call) I would have to press back to go out of the call without hanging up and get back to it. That seem to reload the video again.

They are common? I have an N5 and have a few friends with them and hang out in the Nexus 5 forums too. It's definitely not that common. I've flashed dozens of roms on my phone and have not experienced any of these problems besides Chrome reloading a few times, though even that only happened a few times. I also use Nova Launcher and have never seen it reload (besides waiting for a new theme to load) or flake out once.

I would recommend flashing the factory image and seeing if you still have the problem. If you do it's time to rma the device.

If you have root, you can use System Tuner (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.pmw) to prevent apps from auto-starting on boot (watch the video on the app page).

There is a safe mode. Hold power button, then hold power off, then press OK. After reboot only original Google apps are started. Does your N9 run normal trying this?
NEXUS 9 Freezing too
I too am having problems with the screen freezing too. Only way out is to force a reboot by holding the power button. Image on screen becomes garbled, and if sound is playing at the time of freeze, a loud time is continuously heard. Occurs almost exclusively while using graphic intensive apps, and after extended periods of use. Also, usually feels warm/hot too the touch on the device back near the camera's corner. Has occurred while running stock 5.0.2, and while running Dirty Unicorns 5.0.2 with Elemental X Kernel. Has only been occurring over the past 2 weeks or so, and it didn't correspond to any OTA'S or similar system change. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I am now trying to see if underclocking the CPU/GPU help prevent this, and turned on Elemental X's Thermal Throttling in case over heating is the issue.
My Nexus freezes at least once per day, and lags, and automatically reboots at least once per week. Glad 5.1 will be rolled out soon to us. I hope it fixes all these issues.
mine has stutters all day - used stock and AICP and happens on both. it's almost always when using chrome. the quickest way to get the screen active again is to swipe down on the nav bar.
Yep Chrome is where I get my freezes. Happens on my N5 too. Might just be Chrome or maybe Adaway?

Use Chrome beta, the normal Chrome behaves oddly outside of the Windows version. I disabled Chrome on my Nexus 4 as well after giving it L.

Reload, reload, reloading tabs all the time. My Nexus 5 doesn't do this. I tried Firefox on this and it's even slower.
What's the deal? What are tabs reloaded so often? Only have 4-5 open at a time.
I'd like the answer also. FWIW, it's even worse on Dolphin. Dolphin causes more heat than Chrome (I use beta). It seemed lock-ups and random reboots were happening while using Chrome, but reboot happened with Dolphin. Then, a reboot when I opened Play store app. Very frustrating.

and no reloads! Well of course I get reloads if I go over a certaint amount
IMO,chrome consume more ram compare to other browser..but it never happen on my nexus 7..i think maybe it is because of 64-bits apps need more ram compare to 32-bits apps..you can try CM browser
