Browser Freeze - Thrive General

I noticed that when I use heavy amount of apps, my browser simply wont work. I use the task manager to kill apps but no go. It just loads a white screen and must do a full restart. I like this tablet with full hdmi but might return it. Anyone else have this issue or fixes? Couldnt find it on search.

Yes, this is a common issue and it is due to incompatabilities between the apps and HC 3.2.1. The mount point was changed for the SDcard. the apps that try to cache to the SDcard are having issues. The browser is one of them. A lot of people are using Dolphin HD. They going into the settings and telling not to cache to the SDcard. It does not eliminate the problem, but seems to make it managable. It will take a change in the apps to fix the issue. Dolphin has a beta out that address this issue.

Thank you!

Please note that the Dolphin beta does not address the problem. Periodic wiping of the cache is still required to prevent the browser from locking up.

According to the support email I got from Dolphin, the beta 7.2.1 has this issue corrected. And so far as I can tell, it has solved the problem.

Dolphin HD appears to have been fixed for the thrive, so far no lockups. The developers jumped on it and fixed our issue fast.

browser issues?

Does anyone else's browser force shut while trying to load random sites and close all your tabs? Mine happens quite frequently and has become rather annoying. Also for some rreason it forgot my pw an usernsme for xda and now it don't ask to save, anyone know how to reinitiate that prompt?
Mine occasionally closes as well. Also, my keyboard entry seems to lag like crazy!
WTF?
Trust me the lag on xda app isn't near as bad as it is on xoomforums.com. hoping a simple software update will fix this.

Thats a good point. I have experienced the odd crash of the browser and frankly the ONLY site I have issues browsing is this site (xda). When the site loads the performance of the browser drops off considerably. If I have additional tabs open (to other sites) the browser will fall over. I wonder what it is about this site (especially scrolling the main page) chokes the browser so much. Again, any other site or combo of sites that I normally troll all work fine, fast, stable.

Try and use a different browser. I'm using firefox and I'm not having any issues at all. To reinitiate setting for browser go to settings applications browser clear cache and set to defaults will get it.

I love mozilla anyway
my browser closes all the ttime. Seems to have picked up lately as well. Almost every time I switch tasks the browser crashes and loses all my open tabs
At first, this wasn't really a problem...over that past day or so, it's crashed several time. Last night I was purposely opening up 3-4 normal tabs (cnn, google, facebook, hopstop). It crashed at least 10 times in about 20-25 mins.
This is getting very annoying. I know can use another browser, but come on, I should be able to use the stock browser.
bump. anyone else have this issue? my browser has crashed on me about 10 times today...and of course had to crash as i was demonstrating the device to some apple fanboys and talking about how much cooler it is
I've had maybe one or two crashes since I've had it, but none in the last two days.
i am having some issues with pages not loading properly and where pdf / imagr download that the page does not a sign the file extension to do not load where they did on I pad. I am confident google will fix soon tho.

Opera Mobile Web Browser doesn't run in background

As opposed to before, I can definitely let it sit while doing other things like playing a game or reading something in pulse etc., now,whenever zip 'minimize' the opera browser, and come back to it, it needs to restart itself all over again, that I would have to load the pages manually again. Of course if I'm downloading something, it gets interrupted and ill have to download it all over again. I dunno if its because of a recent update or whatnot, I've just noticed it now. Do you know if there's a fix?

(T_T): HUHUHUHU! It seems that I'm the only one experiencing this... Can someone help me???
It's all about how gingerbread is handling your memory usage and if it feels the need to close an app to free up ram. It's probably happening a lot more now because you have more apps installed then before and some of those run in memory from boot. Opera can be a beast when it comes to eating ram especially with multiple tabs. So you can look into that

I've noticed it happening a lot lately too and seen others complaining also. I found Lookout was using more than it's fair share of RAM so I uninstalled that but haven't had a good chance to try it out yet. I usually access Opera either via an icon on the desktop, or by long-holding the home button. Maybe I'm trippin' but the problem seems to happen a lot less when I use the home button method.
I have noticed this as well. Especially when downloading stuff. Definitely a fix is needed. This makes it 'almost' a full fledged browser. Too late in the game for that Opera!

Constant systemui FCs?

Does any one else experience constant FCs with the systemui process? I get it nearly every single time I use tweetdeck. Rarely in other places. It's a pain because the notification bar with its softkeys vanish and requires a hard reboot.

you on the emmc or a SD card?
if the sd card, what kind do you have?

Sorry, don't use MUI so have no clue, but you might want to put that in the thread title so people using it read it.....
Have you tried fixing permissions? That usually fixes force close problems.

I am not using MUI. Where'd you get that from?
It's on the sd card, samdisk 8g class 4 (I did my homework), and I did try running the fix_permissions, but for some reason tweetdeck still throws an FC say half the time.

I saw systemui in the title so I misinterpreted that to mean you were using MUI.
What version of Tweetdeck are you using? The current version in the market is 1.0.7.3 and one of the updates is "fix rare crashes". I also note it reads the phone state, which we do not have. Has this ever worked on your Nook? You could try modifying the permissions by turning that part off.

I'm using the latest version of TweetDeck. I keep the market apps updated when they become available.
TweetDeck works great on the Nook, it's just half the time I enter it, I get a systemui FC (which is the notification bar). Once that happens, I lose the soft-keys and my notification bar. There's no way to do "back", "menu" or any of that then. End up having to restart the nook to get the softkeys/noti-bar back. When the systemui FCs, everything else works fine - tweetdeck still does its thing, i am just now missing my notibar/softkeys at the bottom. The NC continues to operate fine (I can go to the N/home button and continue using the screens, the app drawer, etc - just lost my noti/softkeys).
SOMETIMES, the system reloads it. Maybe 5% of the time when it FCs the systemui - about 2 seconds later it magically re-appears.
No other app or action on the NC gives me this crash, so I'm not entirely sure what is causing it. If I was getting random FCs elsewhere, I'd start thinking the SD card - but for all intents and purposes, the thing runs solid on the card. I use it for Netflix, DLNA apps to control my laptop and blu-ray players, Angry Birds, N64 and SNES ROMs, Google Music beta - and it's all champs.
Something about TweetDeck, though, is causing this silly systemui crash on me.
I've never had any other issues with apps that read "phone state" (and assumed that its that reason why we still have dialer and phone apps installed on our builds, so those apps won't crash).
Heck, I don't even freeze anything - it's a base CM7 install, no special tweaks. I even tried installing the Notification Restart app which is supposed to restart the notification bar - and that doesn't do a damned thing.

No, the reason is that CM7 was developed to run on a lot of different platforms so we get everything whether it is needed or not. I'm not saying it will work, but try killing the phone permissions.

CM7 is, yes - the specific ports, no. The Nook Color CM7 build (encore) keeps the camera, phone, etc - in there because some market apps, and market themselves won't work without them.

[Q] Why is this happening and is there a way to fix it?

Okay so whenever I'm done texting or have to close an app to go back to my home screen all of the apps and widgets don't show up and I have wait for them to reload again.. it gets annoying cause this happens about 90% of the time I close an app. Is there a way to fix this thing or preventing from happening? >.<

TwLauncher. The default one..

For some reason, you have an app that is running that is taking enough cache memory that it is causing TW to close, anytime you are leaving it, instead of staying in memory. This is causing a 'respawn' (everything has to reload.). You have 2 choices here.
1. Figure out what app, or apps are running that you don't need, and shut them down.
2. switch to a lighter launcher. On the surface, zeam and adw are two of the lightest out there, but I've had the best luck in low memory situations with go launcher, myself.
In order to find which apps are doing this, my recommendation is to get rom toolbox (free is fine), and look in the 'auto start manager'. I'm sure there are several apps that do the same thing, but RTb is my preference. Once you get into that section, look at the list of what is starting on boot, and disable the ones you don't need. This won't make the app useless, but it will keep it from running in the background until you open it yourself.

Well that worked. Thank you sir.
A little off the main topic but speaking of rom toolbox or Tibu for that matter, anytime I use them to either, say, freeze or uninstall anything , both apps just sit there with box showing me there uninstalling or freezing. Only way to stop is to go into manage apps and stop them but they end up doing what wanted to do. Anyone else have this happen, any fix,annoying if anything.

I recommend using Titanium backup.. it's easier to use and easy to understand. Won't have to deal with this whole freezing crap.

I know exactly what you mean. I've been occasionally having the same problem with Titanium Backup. It doesn't happen every time, but enough lately that I've noticed it. Not sure of any fix, but I'll post if I find one. I guess it's not that big of a problem considering it ultimately uninstalls/freezes whatever it's supposed to, but it sure is annoying.

Download Unsuccessful????

When i go to download a file from the browser, it downloads to 99% then says 'Download Unsuccessful'. It happens everytime and it is really annoying because i have to download it off my computer and then transfer it to my phone. I'm running CM10 nightlies with Air Kernel #201. Any help would be appreciated! :laugh:

Try turning off wifi sleep? If you're connected to wifi and this is off then when the screen cuts off it kills your wifi connection.
Don't quote me on this.
Either clear data on your download manager or uninstall chrome (it's been known to cause problems) and/or switch to an alternative browser

clear cache of your download manager, maybe resolve it
What browser are you using? I usually have this issue with the stock browser, but using dolphin or opera mini generally works better for me. I've also used the app "easy downloader pro" from the play store, it will let me resume a download that didn't compete the first time...

It's been happening to me lately on CNA 3.5 with the stock browser.
Every time I clear the data in my Download Manager things start working again.
Eventually it starts to mess up again though. >_>
Mine does it on 3g with stock browser. Sometimes I have to click retry like 20 times before it gets it. And for me it works best when nothing else is running.
And Im also on cm10 and air kernel, but I've had that problem with every ROM and kernel I've used.
Like the other guy said, try a different browser, dolphin is nice
