[Q] Chrome Reloads Web Page or Swap them into NAND - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I've been having the same problem on both of my android devices (N7 and HTC One M7).
Basically its like this:
In Chrome I would open 3 or more tabs at the same time. Then I would start reading the first tab. When I'm done I would close the tab and continue on to read the second tab. Yet when I try to open the second (or third tab) Chrome would reload the web pages again causing massive delay as I am only on a 1 mbps DSL line shared by 3 people. If I go back and forth between 2 or 3 tabs, my HTC One would keep reloading the pages though I'm not sure whether it is reading from the NAND or asking for a fresh page from the ISP.
I'm thinking this is Android default behaviour to conserve memory.
In any case, is there a way to make Chrome more aggresive in using the RAM as cache (stop putting the web page in NAND swap) and less OCD at having to have the very latest web page (stop re-downloading every 2 minutes if I change tabs) ?
I just want to be able to switch tabs freely as I do in desktop.

[Q] Browser and other apps reloading or re-logging

When the vibrant first came out, the first thing that caught my attention was no matter how many apps I was running, they were going to be there waiting (in memory) for me to come back, multitasking at its best. This happened especially with the web browser. If you were browsing the web and needed to grab something from another app, take call or message; once back in the browser, everything was there in the same place (and up to 8 tabs/windows). My previous phone was the Mytouch 3g, which needed to reload all tabs when back into the browser, or even worse, just the home page.
After the froyo update was released (I not sure if this happened as well on the update that supposedly fixed the gps back on October), all apps started to be killed by the system after you switch from them even for a few seconds. This is especially annoying in the web browser. No matter how long you are away from the browser, once back all tabs/windows start reloading. I know that at this point all task-killer-lovers would say why I am complaining about this. Basically is that I would love to decide which app stays and which app goes. I know that if you leave an app running for a long time, the system would kill it eventually when in need of resources, but that doesn’t mean leaving the browser for 2 seconds and everything starts to reload.
I have tried dolphin and opera with the same result. This has happen to me when running the stock froyo update from Tmobile, Nero V, Axura 2.2.7 & 8, Ginger Clone Final and Bionix V 1.2.1. I have tried without any luck killing the task manager process, remove the jobmanager.apk and even used other task killers to see if the ignore list feature had some effect.
Searching the web for an answer only shows a few posts about this, everybody since to like the app-killing way or thinks is not a problem for what it’s worth.
A note about the app-killing term, I don’t know if what is happening in my system is actually the app being terminated. I say this because it doesn’t show on the native task manager, but once you go back to the browser or apps like Google reader usually the page is there, of course, after all reloading is done (time, time and more time) and the information you were trying to fill out or the news you were reading is gone.

[Q] Is there a browser that NEVER reloads?

Hey everyone,
It seems as though every time I exit the browser while a page is loaded and I open a few other apps, the browser always reloads. I was wondering if there was an app that keeps the page saved even after you open several other apps in the background. I've seen this type of things in various apps such as GTA 3 (It's always running in memory so you can always go back to the exact same state as you were 10 minutes ago) and N64oid (same thing - you can always go back to the same state as you were even after opening numerous apps)
Thanks,
Mosh

"Keep" https github webpages when offline

I have Nexus7 with stock JB system and I often use it to review files with code hosted on https github pages. The issue I ran into with all browsers I've tried is that when the page is loaded, it remains in browser tab for sometime but eventually (maybe in a few hours), the browser "helpfully" tries to reload the page and if I'm online, it shows the error. I couldn't find a way to get the page to show again.
I'm not exactly sure if this behaviour is somehow related to github.com, or maybe to pages being https.
The only workaround I found is to use 'save pages' feature in Opera Mini, but it's awkward and takes 3 taps to save a page and deleting old saved pages is awkward, too, and I don't think there's a way to update the page to a newer version.
I've also tried some 'save pages for later' apps but they don't work with https pages.
All I really want is a very simple behaviour: load the page, keep showing it in offline mode and allow me to reload in online mode. Even better, it would be great if the browser could be set to load the page from cache when clicking on a link in offline mode.
Any help / hints appreciated!

[Q] Stop auto refresh Chrome

hi all
I have problem make me very sad from Chrome
if I use chrome and I go another app when I back to chrome all page refreash again
I turn off I go to " settings - bandwidth management - preload webpapgs and I select never
its same every time u out and back to chrome auto refresh
anyone have idea?
Also interested in an answer... Sounds like its a multiplatform issue. Would like to be able to read the page I left open without having it refresh as I select that tab
I believe this is due to javascript stuff. Many websites are set to refresh due to that. You can try disabling it, but might cause issues on other websites.

How to set start page on mobile browser

I have very little data on my plan and don't use my phone a lot for internet so wondered if it's possible to set my START page to Google, for example.
Every thread I find about Chrome, those settings aren't there any more.
Can't find any for Firefox.
Can't find any for the default browser.
I just want the browser to start up EVERY SINGLE TIME with the blank Google search page rather than reloading the last tab I was in.
Thanks!!!!
Hello,
if you are using Chrome or Firefox, you need to close the tab, if you don't want to use he browser. If you will start it then, only the blank Google search will open.
No, if you are using Chrome or Firefox, it reopens the tab you last had open every time you reopen the browser.
I want to close the browser no matter what tab I had open and have it open only the page I want. It's easy to do on a desktop, I cannot find out how to do it on mobile. It reopens the last tab every single time I reopen the browser. I do not want this.
Why do you don't just close the tab?
You mean press home every time I exit the browser? Because I don't want to have to bother to do this. I just want to set a default start page. It can be done on the Blackberry no problem but Android doesn't seem to be able to do it any more.
No, not home. Just close all tabs by pressing X.
But maybe we should wait for another person, who knows this better.
what not in the settings
how is taht possipole due
no i think you didnt search well
in mine stock browser its in settings>>>start home page and there you can edit the url of the start page
