I've had my T-Bolt for almost two weeks and haven't had any browsing problems until yesterday. No root, no ROM, just stock, haven't installed any new apps recently (until Dolphin, see below). For some reason, certain websites won't load. The main culprit is imgur.com, which I try to reach a lot from Reddit. I thought it was their website, but it works fine from a computer. When I click on a link to an imgur JPEG file, the loading bar starts, but hangs about 5% full and never loads the page. Sometimes it will work, and sometimes it will say the page is not available, but it just hangs about 95% of the time.
I've tried clearing everything in the browser app - history, cache, cookies, etc - and rebooted the phone several times. It's still doing the same thing. I even downloaded Dolphin and experienced the same issue, so I don't think it's the browser app itself. I should mention I'm on 3G only, as I have been since I got the phone with no prior issues.
Any idea what's causing this?
I've had this problem with Dolphin HD and stock browsers, opera mini seems to open up anything but I hate using it because its not user friendly and I can't get it to stay in desktop mode.
Im having the same problem today irregardless of the browser i use. any imgur link refuses to load.
When I use Reddit is Fun and the imgur links and even some Reddit links just won't open. The data isn't sending or being received when it does this. I can usually toggle airplane mode and all is right. It's a hassle so I usually just wait till I'm on my laptop to view them.

Running Bamf remix 1.6.3.
It wasn't bothering me all that much.
But this is the only buggy thing I could find.
Glad it wasn't Bamf.
Anyway when I click links.
The browser will hang and do nothing for about 5 sec.
Then the load line goes up and the page loads.
Showing 4G with 2bars here in the shop.
Now on that same note, YouTube videos and downloads are wicked fast.

The only thing that force closes with me and many others is Crackle
Other than this I think you have to factory-reset your device as other applications are running fine

Yes I get constant force closes on many apps and the browser. Seems like a honeycomb issue. Please fix this for ICS google.
I am hoping this is fixed with Flash 11 that just came out. So far so good.
Facebook used to force close on me a few days ago, after a powercycle (reboot) it went away.. so far only XDA app force closes on me, but when i use Tapatalk, it works fine.

I finally rebooted for the first time since receiving the device 7 days ago. I realized that would probably take care of some of the issues.
Hey Gutta624,
I'm having force close issues with my Sony Tablet S too. I wasn't getting any when I first got the tablet but ever since the 3.2.1 update I have been. I can't even access the Google Accounts app and sync the device to my google account.
I've started a thread called "Constant force closes since 3.2.1" on the androidtablets forum. I'd post a link but the best I can do is androidtablets (dot) net because this is my first post here at xda-developers.
I plan to take my device to the nearest service center this week so I'll let you know how that goes.

Do you sync your brower bookmarks with your google account? I have the same issues when activating the sync.
I have to say, this is a worrying thing with this Tablet. My other half has an ipad 2, and although it doesn't have flash, the rest of it does work as it should. Whereas the Sony seems to have all these niggly issues with it.
So now I have to weigh up the options - no flash but reliable os, or flash support but seemingly endless problems.
I've just got a nagging doubt about the Sony that if I get one I'm going to end up regretting it and wishing I'd just got a proper ipad instead.
Anyone have a problem free, happy Sony tablet experience?
Love the device... the software is miserable.
1. Social App and the Browser sometimes force close.
2. Zinio is frequently unresponsive and has to be force closed - happens regularly now that I have a few magazines in my library.
3. Stock browser is awefully laggy. This in comparison with my HTC Desire Z running Gingerbread. Try [www techradar com]. Very very slow and generally unresponsive. This is but one example. the lastest has been a laggy Sony app selection website. Oh... Opera often closes with no warning or error.
4. Dammit... Stanard Keyboard just force closed typing this.
5. The text selection is terribly buggy. Often can't select the right spot... the green arrows jump around erractically making the whole experience frustrating. Happens right here on XDA.
6. Predicition isn't't as good as the HTC devices... and they keyboard is not as responsive as the demo unit... either because of a software upgrade or the sony screen protector. Find that keys aren't't registering... most evident on the space bar.
The above isn't't at all acceptable and I'm hoping asoftware upgrade fixes it.
7. We were sold this device (in singapore) as a playsation certified device... and there isn't a store available... bad sony!!!
8. swapping between devices in the remote control app is too slow.
9. The DNLA app is frustrating.... slowt ransfers over wireless network... doesn't handle 90% of the video I have (from HTC and Panasonic) devices. Also clumsy interface... Doesn't even remember prior folder selections.
10. Battery drainage on standby is really mindboggling. Lose about 16% per day. I get about 4 maybe 5 at best out of the device. charging is awefully slow compared to other devices. Typically 3 to 4 hrs to recharge fully (from 14%).
I've taken a lot of time andcare diagnosing andcan't attribute the issues to anything otherthan software.... and this line was me typing at full speed with keyboard lag.
Would appreciate feedback.
Oh... how do I stop the autoreplace from forcing a replacement? I know you can select it but that would save it to the dictionary which I don't want. On the HTCs you simply click the empty space following the word and it's ignored.
Regards
I am also from Singapore..download the account manager apk and sign up..u will be able to download free PS games...
Today m going to sony store to replace my tab as its back case started creaking sound which is frustating..

I noticed that with both Stock browser and Dolphin that keeps automatically shutting down. Its not an error out, but the screen goes black for 3 seconds and kicks me back to the main desktop.
Anyone else have this issue? Man..I really hope ICS fixes all these bugs. Really poor QA

Have you tried clearing cache or even - gulp - the apps data?
Its doing the same thing to mine when i was on the Amazon site.
who makes the default browser? My experience with it for 2+ weeks now is that it is very lousy. The browser constantly stalls when loading websites, and it occasionally bugs when clicking on hyperlinks by opening every hyperlink in a new tab.
Why is there no Chrome browser for Android 4, with the same usefully and reliability that I can get from Chrome on Windows.
I expected browser from a Google product to run optimum instead of lackluster.
I picked up my Galaxy Note yesterday and have noticed a strange problem with the browser. It seems that nearly half of the time when I launch the browser app, it starts a new session rather than resuming the previous. There are no dialog boxes or error messages, just a fresh browser session.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks.
i would recommend using a different browser in general, opera is my browser of choice
I have the same issue and it is very annoying. I tried switching to another browser but none of the browsers are as smooth as stock. Opera is close, but it has other quirks.
i notice almost no difference as far as quickness with opera. what are you trying to view that you are getting crashes
i posted simular thread. i changed my homepage as well and it still crashes and start up page is goole search. my home page is xda btw
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.?

Same issue here with browser screen jumping to home screen. Chrome is jacked up and now the stock browser has issues!
