MC3 stock browser closes more frequently than LJB - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Was running stock bootloader and rooted stock via Exynos vulnerability for the longest time because it was stable. Finally decided to unlock bootloader and upgrade to rooted stock MC3, wiped, cleared cache and even factory defaulted. Now the browser pauses then closes more frequently than before. I'm talking about several times a day versus once in a blue moon before. Anyone else experience the same? I suspect it's 4.1.2 since my Note 10.1 is behaving the same after recent update.

Not sure if your on the right track cause I have not experienced this on either of my devices, vzw n2 and note 10.1 wifi only. Both are rooted and running custom roms.
I've never had mine close on me, but that's not too say it don't happen to others.

I'm with bigtoysrock on this one I haven't experienced this at all. If you have the time why not downgrade in Odin to 4.1.1/return to stock and use casual after that? Just a suggestion that's what I used and I haven't had a single problem

I noticed it too. I am on Beans 17 (MC3) with Perseus kernel, and the stock browser crashes at least once a day. But I tap the browser icon and it renders the last page almost immediately, probably because the browser is pulling cached elements that were downloaded right before the crash.
It is a minor annoyance, and imo not worth switching to Chrome because Chrome still lags when scrolling pages

[Q] ICS Browser issues?

Hey guys,
I've been running AOKP ICS (M3) on my GTab 10.1 WiFi for the last few days with flawless performance and very few issues. However, I am experiencing problems in the stock browser. After, several minutes of surfing, the browser becomes very laggy. Soon after pages fail to load and hang around 10%. At this point the browser is unusable. The problem persists until I close the browser and force close it. Has any one else experienced this issue on ICS? Any fixes?
Note: I have tried all of the obvious fixes like wiping cache, data, reinstalling from, etc.
Thanks!

It seems to happen on image and java intensive sites for me. I found using an ad blocker fixed most of the freezes. Other than that i think we will just have to wait for an update. (aircanada. Com crashes the browser on every visit)
Yeah memory intensive sites tend to cause this. I just installed an ad blocker, I'll see if it helps. Thanks for the advice!
I'm pretty sure once everything with tegra 2 gets sorted out completely, it'll work fine.
Same problem here
ics is more smooth than honeycomb, I don't want to flash back because of this glitch.
I have installed the ads blocker before but problem still
anyone have the solution ?
Guys, a bit OT maybe, but seems like a good place to ask
I was also trying this ICS build yesterday and loved what I saw, but there were two main problems that are deal-breakers for me at the moment:
- I can't subsribe to any Google services (gmail, reader, market), because there's no way to sync google account as as actual "google account",
- because of above, I can't install - from the android.market.com - apps that I already had, because it says I already have them installed; I have to look around the web for .apk-s and install manually
Did you also had those problems? Is it the same for every ICS build out there? Will this be fixed for the final Cyanogenmod9 release?
For the time being, I'll stay on GalaxyTask 13...
Well, the ad blocker definitley seems to help and my issues with the browser are far less frequent.
@antic604
I would do a full wipe, then install the latest version and don't forget to flash gapps afterward.
Try setting pluggins to on demand.
Same thing here on my asus prime, even if my plugin is on demand. I didn't have this issue on my prev asus. I'm very disappointed. This OS is just like a beta version. So the prime with ics is very bad value for the money. I don't know what to do, sell it or wipe and load a new rom :-/

Yeah I have the exact same problem.
I use Chrome Beta whenever the Stock browser becomes laggy and hangs, it's very annoying.
This problem I have and the face .avi files get deleted, I have placed a fair few series on my Tab and wanted to access some and half of them were gone.
This happened a few times already.

Google apps and stock browser issues after ota update.

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.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
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 ??
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\=LTE
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 too am having the same issue. Play and browser all fail to respond. Wiped cache etc. Still repeats each time.

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

Any Non Stock Rom Reboots and Shows Green Screen Randomly

I'm having an issue with every rom except the stock rom with the phone automatically rebooting itself while doing simple tasks and showing a green screen. I tried enabling force gpu rendering etc but still getting this. Though with any stock roms (default rogers rom + the jb 4.1.2 for att etc) i dont occur this issue. What could be the problem?
Yeah this happens wayyy to often on 4.2.2 roms a little bit less on 4.1.x roms.

This is usual since we do not have the kernel source to make ROMS stable and not reboot. 4.2.2 ROMs are more stable then 4.1.2 so idk what you did there.

Rebooting on 4.2 ROMS
I'm having the same problem as OP with my i717 It happens bad on all of the 4.2 ROM's I've tried, and I know it's not the ROM. So far I've tried: Slim, Supernexus, CM10.1,ReVolt all of which I love! I really want to fix this. I start a game or other app and get a wildly flashing green, blue or sometimes black screen and then she reboots. Usually when opening a game or instagram, but not limited to those apps. It's hard for me to replicate the symptoms. Anyone else struggling with these symptoms on 4.2 roms? It seems less often on 4.1.2 ROM. When I restore a Blackstar ICS setup from twrp the phone runs beautifully. I've used darkside super-wipe hoping that would help. I've also tried changing recovery. Now I'm running out of things to try. I feel like somethings not being cleaned properly before install but I'm new so I don't really know.
Should I try using ODIN to flash a stock jelly bean firmware in order to sort of "start over fresh"?
I wish I could explain to everyone better my problem.

1) AOSP is unofficial so these is going to happen. 2) Is your screen flickering? 3) if so check HW overlays in dev options.

It happens to PACman ROMs too, try listening to music while attempting to cause the crash.. .There will be a loud beeping sound, followed by the greenish-blue screen, then the device will shut off, and reboot
I got the crash on trying to wake the device to unlock, and grabbed a logcat using Catlog.

[Q] A number of my apps are malfunctioning

Hello, I'd like to ask if anyone found any issues with the following apps as I did:
- WidgetLocker Lockscreen
- Zombie Tsunami
Zombie Tsunami hangs and crashes after a few seconds of running it, and it only happens to my S3. My friends and colleagues who are also on the S3 can run their app just fine, and we're all on the same version of the app. I've tried reinstalling, but no luck.
With regards to WidgetLocker, I can't add widgets to it. This was an issue with the app for the past few months or so, but even after yesterday's update I still can't add any. That said, the app may still just be broken.
In any case, I'm wondering whether it's my phone that's the problem. I'm running stock rooted JB 4.1.2, XXEME2. Thanks.

Does snapchat not work on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi (GT-P7510)?

Ya I know, this may seem like a stupid question, but believe me I have valid reasons for asking it. So I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi (GT-P7510) that had been sitting around not being used for quite some time. I decided to recently take it out and root it to run the snapprefs xposed module alongside snapchat. Well, first things first, the tablet was running Android 3.0 Honeycomb which is way out of date. I upgraded to the last update available for this tablet which was Android 4.0.4 ICS. through standard system update. I then rooted using CWM recovery and flashing over superuser. All worked well and the tablet was rooted. I installed the latest version of snapchat from the play store and attempted to login with ABSOLUTELY 100% VALID credentials. It went through the processes "logging in, verifying device, etc." and then crashed to the home screen. I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, signing up for new accounts, switching google accounts on the device, creating new google accounts, making sure google accounts were syncing correctly, making sure time and date was correct, downgrading snapchat to older versions, EVERYTHING. Absolutely nothing worked. The funny thing is that when initially opening snapchat, it would have the main screen where you see your camera open and have snap/stories notifications, etc. Then it would finish loading and go to the login/signup screen (since no account was logged in). That was when the problems would occur. I'm even able to sign up for new snapchat accounts which would go through just fine (I would receive the email notification from team snapchat), but when it was time to go to the main snapchat screen it would crash the same way as when logging in. At this point I was convinced that snapchat simply had issues running on 4.0.4 or something. I decided to flash a custom ROM to solve this. The first ROM I flashed was Nameless 4.4.4 .. Again, EXACT same issues. I was like wtf?? I then flashed Omni 4.4.4 and yep, same exact issue. I then tried CM 10.1 (4.2.2) and again, same issues. I went back to completely stock ICS 4.0.4 using Odin and ya, same issues as the first time. I really don't understand at this point. I thought it could be snapchat account issues so I tried logging in and logging out with all accounts that I attempted on the tablet using my Galaxy S6 Active which worked completely fine, so it's definitely something with the device. I'm someone that can typically figure out things for myself through researching, but at this point I'm really stuck, and I had to join this forum for assistance. If anyone would be able to help, I would GREATLY appreciate it. Does anyone have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi (GT-P7510) that they are currently running snapchat on? This is the original 10.1, and not the 2 or 3, and so on. Would anyone know what could possibly be going on? I wouldn't think that it would take much to run an app like snapchat, and I would think that the Tab 10.1's hardware would certainly be more than capable of doing so. The latest version of snapchat requires 4.0 and up, so I wouldn't think the android versions that I used would be an issue. Even the stock ICS 4.0.4 should be able to run it just fine. CM 10.1 was 4.2.2 and the other 2 ROMs that I tried were Omni 4.4.4 and Nameless 4.4.4.
I look forward to any help that can be provided. Thanks ahead of time everyone.
Got any solutions?
