For whatever reason every browser I try reloads tabs when I leave the browser. It's REALLY annoying - I'm stuck on edge most of the time, and finding out that my tabs suddenly reload just because I switched to twitter for a second.
I tried to pretty much disable the LMK, and it still did this...
I tried Chrome, Browser Plus, stock ICS browser, Dolphin and Opera (which does this slightly less often) Last time I had this problem was on my old tablet with only 256 MB of RAM. (Which still did this less often than the Note on ICS)
Every time this happened, I had at least 120 MB of ram free. Seriously, the note has a full gigabyte of ram, and yet this happens.
This doesn't happen to me on GB.
Is there anything I can do to make browsing normal again?
Like, exclude a browser from getting killed, or something?
I'm using a Galaxy Note..
Help please?
I tried all that I could, but was still unable to solve this problem.
I now had to downgrade to Gingerbread because of this issue, it is REALLY annoying.
I just want to multi task on my device...
I actually had tabs reload while I was still in the browser! Is there ANYTHING that can be done?
Still have this issue. Tried every damn browser I could, every ICS ROM I could find, but it still does this. Please help.
Maybe try Opera Mini (not opera mobile)?

Opera Mini does not really fit my needs...
And reloading tabs will still be slower than keeping them in memory, even with Opera.
Thanks for replying, though.
I wish someone who could help would reply to this thread. I'm tired of having to reload tabs almost every time too.

Hi all,
just adding my 2cents, I've been facing similar issue , as a lot of us, tried almost all available browsers on the google play
I'm finally using OverSkreen (floating browser) which seems able to stay on memory by registering itself in the notification area ...
Okay, it's a paid apps
Just want to let you know that I'm not advertising it, I do not know the dev and am not involved in anyway in the development
Just sharing my findings
I'm still digging that issue and landed here while searching the web ....
Hope this helps some
thanks for that, it's nice!
though i'd really love to use chrome, because of syncing and all.
Some solution here???
Try this:
1. Download the Root Explorer apk file from the link and install itit on the device.
2. Open Root Explorer and provide the root permissions.
Now tap on “Mount R/W” which can be seen on top of the screen.
Scroll down and open the “data”*directory.
Once in the /data directory, press menu key and select “New File”.
Enter the name of the file as local.prop.Now long press on local.prop and select the “Open With” option.
Now select text editor.
The app’s process name should be known to the user. For e.g. if the user wants to lock the Contacts app in memory, type “sys.keep_app_1=com.android.contacts”. “com.android.contacts” is the process of the Contacts app.
Similarly other apps can be locked in the memory in the following manner.Now press menu key and select Save and exit.
Now system will show a message saying ‘Old local.prop backed up as local.prop.bak’. And you are done.. Reboot and enjoy.
Get the app process name with apk info for exampel.

edit:
or use JKays framework to register apps as service! read the faq for whitelistening apps!! its great. works for me with opera. it is not reloading the pages anymore and hopefully dont cancel the downloads!

Hi, thanks for sharing your findings... Tried myself to use Xposed and app settings to make the browser stay in memory
Works really great
Only drawback is that it significantly slows down the phone so stopped that technic
Will try yours, thanks again
1. When opening applications from the notification window-shade, they aren't counted as open by the system and hence don't appear in the multi-tasking menu. For example, I'll open GMail from the window-shade go to my first email, click a link in that email taking me to the browser - then when I'm done in the browser if I hit the multi-tasking menu to go back to GMail it's not there. I have to go home, and then launch GMail from it's icon.
2. Different browsers can't be used on a case-by-case basis, unless you don't have one set as default - in which case the system asks you EVERY time which browser you want to launch. The problem is that if I set a default browser (I am mainly using Chrome) then I'm screwed when I come to a page with Flash content (more often than I would like). The only thing I can do then is the cumbersome copying the page address, going home, launching the relevant browser that can display Flash, and then pasting the address in.
It would be nice if I could set Chrome as default but then when I hit a link which takes me to a webpage with Flash content, I'd like to go back a page then perhaps long-press the link and get offered each browser option then (and only then).
Any ideas on how to solve these issues (aside from just using a different browser for no 2?)
#2 - Install "flashify" from the Play store. When you are on a page that requires flash, hit your share button and the typical list of services will come up. Choose flashify and then it will ask which flash enabled browser. It will immediately open that page in the new browser.

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.
http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...auto-refresh-wasting-my-data.html#post6381811 - Makes a lot of sense.
Hi people!
I recently rooted my grand prime and i want to share the modifications and tweaks that you can apply to your phone.
Mine is the G530FZ, but these can be applied to any grand prime, since this settings are generic even to other phones.
I am very interested in improve the privacy and the functionality of my phone, and some settings don't need root, but im going to share with you anyway since improves your privacy.
HOPE YOU LIKE IT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enable Dev Options:
Go to About this device, Compilation number and press it repeatedly until it says "Now you are a developer!"
Go back, developer options and tick USB Debugging to enable ADB over USB
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I installed Busybox, using Smart Install (Safest), this is important for most of tweaks.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I disabled KNOX, SAMSUNG SUPPORT TOOL and bloats like:
-Play Music
-Play Kiosk
-Play Videos
-Drive
-Samsung Billing
-Play Games
-Galaxy Apps
-Google+
-Samsung Account
-Chrome
And some replaced by:
-Apollo
-FBReader
-MXPlayer
-
-
-
-FDroid (Open Source App Market, your privacy want Open Source!)
-
-
-Firefox
To disable knox and support tool connect your phone through adb or use the terminal emulator and type:
su
pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid
pm disable com.rsupport.rs.activity.rsupport.aas2
The other apps can be disabled through settings/Application Manager.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I installed Xposed Framework, and then this plugins:
-The POWERFUL GravityBox [KK] (Interface and usability tweaks)
-XPrivacy (A privacy manager that lets you choose what information can be read by an application, asking you when the application tries to read something like contacts, use superuser, read messages and so on.)
-XPrivacy in App Info (Injects the XPrivacy settings in app info for the selected app)
-XHalo Floating Windows (Something like a window manager, lets you use apps in the way of windows or anything like that)
-Call Blacklist Pro (The name says all)
-App settings (To fix issues with the dpi change, I will explain it later)
-Xposed Preference Injector (To inject xposed plugins settings on the settings app)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To control what applications connect though WIFI and what though 3G I used AFWall+, and configured it like that:
Mode: Black list (Block Selected) --> This can be done pressing the message that says: Mode: White list (Allow Selected)
On Options/Preferences/UI Preferences I unchecked LAN Control.
Then you can check the apps you want on WIFI, on 3G, on none of that, or unchecked for WIFI and 3G
The first time you need to go to Options/Enable Firewall, and every time you modify the settings press Options/Apply.
Is useful if you have a Bank application and you are afraid about ARP Poisoning on WIFI (Man in the middle) or things like that and you often connect to public WIFI's. You can block WIFI for this app, and let only connect trough 3G.
Or you can block data hungry apps to work only on wifi and mantain your 3G data usage on acceptable limits.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I installed
-Performance Control (The performance app on AOKP I think o.o')
With this app i changed the DPI using the build.prop editor on the last tab, and changed ro.sf.lcd_density to 190
Then you need to use Xposed App Settings plugin to set the DPI's of this apps to 240, because are made to this DPI's and looks ugly, and some even not work:
-Camera
-Contacts
If you have any other app looking ugly after DPI change, use this fix, and tell us here
Also the pin numbers on lockscreen will move to the left, but it works, and if you change the DPI's of com.android.systemui the status bar and the notification bar will look fat... (o-__-O)
Don't change cpu settings, i did that and look that does nothing... XD
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, I am afraid about predictive keyboards and where they send what they predict, so I installed the only Open Source keyboard I found really useful:
-AnySoftKeyboard
It can be installed from FDroid or Google Play, I think that the google play edition updates often
Play a little bit with the settings to get your keyboard of choice, it can be tricky at first.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are really conscious about your privacy, you can search for the dev reports that apps send to the developers without your consent and disable it, if you don't care about that, this reports can be useful to some devs
And last, and the most conspiranoic app here:
-Android IMSI catcher
This app theorically warns you about IMSI stations near you. This stations are fake GSM antennaes with encryption disabled to hear what you hear and read what you send, explaining it quickly.
I don't know if this app really works, but if it works, and you have spyes around you, tell me if it works ;D
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry if i wrote something wrong, I'm don't speak english on my country, I only know the english I learned from series, games and documentation
If you need some screenshots for any explained here, tell me
Cheers!

After rooting your G530 is booting normally?
To remove system apps Nobloat app is a option for users not familiarized with adb prompt & comand lines.
Nope, i need to install phillz recovery to avoid recovery on reset, besides that is working fine

Try Wipe Cache from recovery..if does not works, download stock rom matching ur phon csc and rom version from sammobile .. then flash it through odin, then re root... make sure this time u flash those two files with method exactly as suggested in the root post.if u get boot into recovery prob again then make sure wipe cache n then reboot.

@kentone, which method of rooting did you use?
Is it then KingUser or SuperSU?
Maybe you could throw a link to rooting manual?
one thing I'm happy about is using Greenify and Clean master to hibernate and block apps from autostarting, it leaves me with 320-380 mb free RAM most of the time, however if u add whatsapp and chat apps, you wont get notifications till you open the application which I personally prefer it to be like this.
I rooted with odin method, i have the reboot to recovery bug, but is not a problem for me, this is my 'production' phone and i will not touch it so much until we have cyanogenmod or something. Or when we know why the reboot to recovery bug appears o.o'
Sent from my SM-G530FZ using XDA Free mobile app
About greenify and clean master, throw clean master away and dont hibernate the apps with notifications like IM apps XD if you want more ram download kernel adiutor and put the memory preset on ''agressive'' or one level down that! Dont touch the cpu settings, it does nothing with this samsung rom u.u'

@kentone what if I dont disable the knox ? or what if it tripped ? what are the side effects ? and what is the purpose of knox? sorry I dont know that , and thanks in advance for your answer , I hope you will answer my question
In gravity box, cant able to change signal cluster look. Cant add day of week to status bar tweaks. Help me please. I have selected lollipop icons but they are not changing. I also tried reboot.
Amazing things you can do after rooting
Yeah but there are lot more benefits of rooting even though there are certain risks , . Most amazing benefit I think is we can remove bloatware and also block ads which is brainstorming though there are still deelopments going on in that field. Have you tried adblocker Browser??
