I think this deserves a thread. as the title states if you were to go to YouTube full site and try to play a video as soon as its about to play the advert it crashes causing the browser to become unresposive to touch.
does not matter which browser you use it has same effect.
other sites tested are ustream and Justin TV. various flash sites used to watch football also have the same problem although sometimes after deleting cache on opera in app manager I can get football to run.
I'm pretty sure 3.2.1 did not have these issues.
if this a Acer problem. will they fix this? I also think it could be a flash player problem with our tablets which could be fixed in a update from them.
I'm on a custom rom but I'm just off to test on my girlfriends tab which is stock....brb
OK I'm back. exactly the same tried to play a video on YouTube and as it about to play it froze the browser and the video.
3.2.1 looks so appealing right now. anyway people who say there browsers don't freeze obviously don't use many flash sites.
if anyone knows any settings that may help in the about:config department of opera please let me no otherwise I'd love to find anyone with a workaround.....
I am having this problem as well with dolphin, chrome and stock browser when ever I try to go to full screen. However last night I downloaded browser + (basically an enhanced stock browser) and it worked fine all night long. I played about 3 consecutive hours of full screen flash videos and didn't have one browser crash. Not sure what the problem with the other browsers is.

thanks, might give that a try then.
im sure it will be ironed out sooner or later..
anyone know if theres away to log the crashes?
EDIT: Indeed you are correct. broswer+ does not crash on justin.tv....
Any tips on forcing it to use youtube full site as no matter what i try (even ticking box) it forces back to the mobile site.
Cheers for the tip mate it will certainly make ICS a whole lot better to use at the minute
EDIT 2: you just made my morning looks like browser+ is the way to go. ustream works perfectly too.
just like to add a further note that BOAT browser works great and does not freeze when using any of the sites i have listed. so thats browser+ and BOAT that work ok with flash
I also should now add I'm on a custom 4.0.4 android and flash with opera works great. Even full screen on full YouTube.
Very strange but I'm not complaining now.

Same issues
Two of the most irritating problems I had with HC was:
1. ALL web browsers would randomly crash--> auto shut downs that wiped all temp and open files in the browser. Stock browser was the worst, followed up by Opera, Dolphin, Mirix browser, and a couple other nobody apps. None worked flawlessly. This is enraging when you are typing an email and it dies, you lose all your work!!!
2. My bluetooth Motorola keyboard would stutter and die. Keys would stick, etc. Another maddening problem.
The ICS OTA I received did not rectify these two critical issues for me either. Hence why I invested time and energy into learning how to unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM.
Those two problems that were unresolvable were deal breakers for me running anything from Acer.
I routinely sent alogcat files to Dolphin techie team. They were not able to deduce why their browser would auto-die during session. But hey, at least the Dolphin team responded and tried.
Opera support is miserable. I sent them what they wanted: their advice? Uninistall Opera and re-install. I did. Four times. Still problem persisted.
I would get SoD's on HC and my tablet was unrooted and unmodded at the time.
I would get SoD's infrequently on stock ICS, but enough it made me move to another ROM.
So to answer your question: Your device is not alone with these problems. Seems it is something in Acer's ROM's that do this. Some bug they dont bother to fix. And I assume it is in the stock ROM's, because I did factory recovery and factory wipes too, and it did not repair this bug with auto-die browsers and spotty bluetooth connectivity.
My solution?
Go custom ROM. Flash an unlocked bootloader, install the latest greatest flavor you take fancy to, install either the Lightspeed 4.5 (i think they are up to 4.7 now...), Flexreaper RC1_v3, or that Thor ROM. All are good, I'm partial to Flexreaper cuz it has that totally customizable Acer Ring.
All those ROM's out of the gate are faster and have more clever apps in them than Acer-junk.
Juss sayin.

Is anyone else having the browser crashing while browsing. Nothing repeatable but from time to time it crashes and just dumps you back to the desktop, no warning or error message.
That has not happened to me, but I have noticed that at times, the browser is just super slow. Pages won't load, etc. It's not my connection, YouTue loads fine, and so does Doplhin Browser.
This has been happening to me as well, not only the browser though other apps as well. I would go as far as to say every app I have used has crashed on me a minimum of twice yes EVERY app I have used. I just received my gt10.1 today so it might just be stretching pains.

I have the same issue. Like you said, nothing repeatable, almost kind of random, but it closes down completely... this has also happened in other apps, in addition to multiple force closes in apps.
Yep..I noticed it FC's on me mostly when I'm forums..never other sites.
On my 10.1v the browser is crashing at every start so i cant use the stock browser. Other apps crashing to. Yesterday the gfx at my live wallpaper was overwritten by an other programm or task. I think there are a lot of bugs in honeycomb but this can also be an hardware problem. Anyone here without problems/crashes on 3.0?
Spenzerx
Yep. mine crashed three times trying to view one particular website. I finally gave up.
Some apps crashing too, and the Yahoo mail app is LAME. My phone does a better job than the 10.1 displaying Yahoo mail. Tab forces you to open any email containing HTML in the browser. LAME.
I see what people mean when they say Honeycomb is not ready for prime time.

using my 10.1v for about a month now, i've never had such serious problems. just 3 or 4 fc, different apps, not repeatable.
go into setting, applications and clear the data from your stock browser. then you might be able to use it again.

Thanks, clearing the browsers data and cache works fine...
me too
I have the same issue. Glad to see its not just me. It just dumps and goes to the desktop. I just got this today and not too excited about the browser failing right out of the bo
Stock browser crashes on me too. It will randomly freeze when accessing web pages and then home and back button does not work. I have to hit them multiple times before it goes back home and sometimes the only way to fix it is by rebooting the device.
Anyone had the same freezing experience?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium App
I've had this happen a few times. Try force stopping the app and clearing data like mentioned in a previous post. I had this happen in the YouTube app as well while trying to search for a video. It wouldn't return any results and crash until I force stopped the app in settings. Once I did that I was able to re open the YouTube app and find the video with no problem.

My brower crashes often when browsing forums.clubsi.com
It seems some sites make the browser crash
Im having the same issues. I was using dolphin browser HD and the stock browser. This error seems to occur in both.. for me it seems like it was more video/flash sites.
Yes, stock browser crashes, but crashes less than 3rd party browsers which is why I've stuck with it so far.
I too am having this problem. As far as I can tell it has happened mostly if not always on forum sits for me as well. I am subscribing to this thread hoping someone will figure out what is happening and help us fix it.
Oh, I just tried force stopping the browser and clearing data. Within five minutes it crashed again.
me too... once crashed, i reboot device. i find that whenever i change the viewing mode from mobile to desktop while browsing gmail, my browser crashes. and of coz some other sites too
anyone?
Yup, mine crashes on sites that have a lot of newer HTML5 ads or complex javascript. I have flash turned to OnDemand so it shouldn't be causing any browser FC's. I also see crashes on sites that have a lot of images on them which has led me to thing it's crashing due to memory issues.
yeah me to. crashes on certain websites. techradar is one it allways crashes on. im pretty disgusted that they`ve let this bug make it to the retail version, this and the high pitch noise issue really get my back up!!
sort it out samsung ffs
Same here. One way that is repeatable on my end is when following a link to track a UPS shipment. I try to open the link from my email to the lenovo site, and it never makes it - drops to desktop every time. However, I've also had random crashes while trying to load flash, simply browsing, etc.
HC definitely needs some more spit and polish, but so far I'm liking it. Also, the Opera Mobile Browser, atm, is the best one that I've tried, among stock, Miren, and Dolphin HD. However, they all have occasional crashes.
Running tasks v5 rom, much better than before, but still get a lot of freezes (forcing a hard reset by me) or force closes where the browser disappears. Nyone else getting these yet?
No browser freeze on mine.
I have problem accessing seekingalpha.com. Browser (stock) wouldn't load content and than just chrashes. It happens everytime, with no exeptions. Could someone try to open it and let me know what happens?

I'm not web expert, so I don't know what's going on with this site, or in what "technology" is it written. But, they have changed site recently, and since than it started to be extremely slow on my HTC Desire (Gingerbread), like beating the hell out of the processor. And now I found out that crashes Honeycomb browser.
Is there any way to contact Google to point them to this problem? I couldn't find it...
Opera or Dolphin can open it. But also, there are some rendering problems in Dolphin with left column (adds and some links on the top). It's dynamic (moving with you as you scroll the page), so that could be source of the problem.
I haven't had a problem with this site really, mostly when the keyboard is up (using Swiftkey) or quickly scrolling. Also other things like samsung email app and a few games seem to cause problems.
All seems very random and infrequent, can't find a pattern to them yet.
Just got my first browser FC today, happened twice when trying to add a bookmark
could this be a hardware problem? The tab freezes several times a day, usually on the browser (use that the most too), also in exchange email app and various games. It's driving me nuts. Tried every rom out there as well as stock and pershoots kernel.
Anyone have any ideas? It's driving me crazy and I'm curious if I could have a serious problem or if it's something the right update could fix.
I use Dolphin for Pad browser (not Dolphin mini or HD). Never had a FC.
tried dolphin. No difference.
have u tried the v6.1, got some (few) lags on v5 but v6.1 is smooth (for me) now
Yes, I've tried 5,6, 6.1,overcome, starburst. Makes no difference.
In Dolphin use the desktop agent instead of Android. It' their mobile site that causes the problem. If your rooted you should be able to set the stock browser to desktop also.
Running stock rooted. Random crashes and fullscreen flash video does not work. Anyone else?
Sent from my A500 using xda premium
yes. it sucks since I updated. rooted w/ unlocked bootloader/custom kernal running civato's flexreaper. Doubt it is a problem with the rom but probably due to problems with the app and compatibility with ICS. Used to be my go browser (still is on my phone) but not any more for my tablet. I have problems with them all really (no flash in chrome) and random crashes throughout all. For me browser+ seems the most stable.
Same problems with Dolphin for Pad, when I installed ICS (first FlexReaper, now TO ICS), so I changed to Dolphin Browser HD, which is very stable. Only issues I am experienceing are FCs when playing flash in full screen. This is not occuring with Opera Mobile.
With best regards, maris
try Opera its alot better anyway!
It hasn't been updated in almost a year, so not surprising. Dolphin HD works as does Opera.
Not sure if same on the 500, but the only browser that sees the 510 correctly as a desktop device is Opera.
I prefer Dolphin, but same as the others, regardless of UA seeing used.
The only other device I had that did this was the DX2.
Have resolved some issues but uninstalling and reinstalling flash. More stable in normal view, but still no fullscreen. Also switched to ICS+ browser. Not perfect but better.
Sent from my A500 using xda premium
So far, browsers have been the ONLY issue I've had with ICS. All of them. We're talking Chrome Beta, the generic stock browser, Dolphin HD, and Firefox. Deciding that it can't be every browser, I uninstalled/reinstalled Flash, no better. Did a hard reset, reinstalled everything, and running smooth as silk.
I'm on the stock browser and have few if any issues with it. I did experience the same on Dolphin both HD and for Tablet...but as another poster stated, I still have it as default on my phone. If anyone finds a better recommendation from what's been listed as I'm not a big Opera fan either let me know, but stock is rock solid for me thus far. (FlexReaper Extreme)...
Good luck,

About the same here : every web browser just seemed to be faulty. Actually it worked, but every once in a while it got stuck and freezed for several seconds and then a message popped up saying the application didn't respond any more. All I had to do was to choose "wait" instead of "close" and right after it worked perfectly (until the next time). But that was VERY annoying.
I did a hard reset and so far everything seems to work perfectly, it's even faster than before and no more freezes.
I have been using Maxthon Mobile Browser on my rooted 510 for several weeks with no issues.
Hey guys so i just got my transformer about a week ago and have a few questions I'm rooted and running revolver rom which is great btw, OK first question is does the browser randomly crash for everyone else I've tried several browsers and they all have this issue, next question is about watching videos/movies on browser some websites wont play video i just get the blue box with the question mark and i have adobe flash player installed, third and final question is about a game Dead Trigger does anyone play it and if so do you experience alot of lag because mine is very laggy when playing. Thanks for any responses
try clearing browser data. mine crashed a lot on honeycomb but not nearly as much on ics/jb

tegra 2 cant handle it on max graphics just turn them down a little

Hey thanks for the suggestions i tried clearing data for browser but it still closes, it only happens on a few sites so i can live with it, about the videos playing im not sure what they are i just know they have worked on every device ive had before including a piece of crap coby kyros i had like 3 years ago, is their any way to get divx/silverlight to work on this tablet , as far as game its already on low graphics , again thanks for the reply
Try installing latest guevor's kernel. It has a fix for the RAM fragmentation problem which causes lots of Google apps (any GPU-accelerated app really) to crash to desktop.
As for browser plugin...
There is no Silverlight plugin for Android. DivX is not a plugin either. What browser are you using? You say you have Flash installed, but both Chrome and latest Dolphin disable Flash.

I have flash working but full screen always fails, the screen goes black. Is there a fix? I've tried every browser, boat, firefox, AOSP, ocean, etc.
EDIT: It's working on firefox right now but there's no seek bar, no controls. Grr.
I have the same problem. Using ocean browser.

Full screen works for me on Boat Browser with all the websites I've tried. As far as why it wont work on your end, It may just be a fluke with certain websites. Since it is not "officially" supported on JellyBean it may be hit or miss.
You could share what website in particular you're trying to access full screen and I could try it on my end.
Also, what version of Flash Player are you using?
I installed flash on my N10 earlier (something I thought I never do ) and can also confirm the site I tried using the fullscreen player on just resulted in a black screen, on AOSP Browser (I use CM 10.1). I use whatever the latest ICS APK that was available on Adobe's archive site.
I didn't try other browsers yet.
