Same here... with different ROMs. It started yesterday when I had a 4.1.2 custom ROM. It shows the same behaviour after wiping everything and flashing several 4.1 or 4.2.1 ROMs.

Same here. I think It's a javascript error, but disable javascript is not a good solution.

I hope it's not intentionally bug creation to make users use chrome browser.

Same here. I've even gone back and reloaded a couple of backup roms I had saved that I know worked fine and all the 3rd party browsers fc.

Hmm, I couldn't replicate the issue. Sites are opening fine for me desktop and mobile versions alike.
I have a GSM GNex, i9250, stock 4.2.1, rooted, custom recovery.

It is not FC exactly. It just closes on you. It happens to me while I browse phonearena.com

Are ther any news about this issue? It definitely does not occur on all webpages, but on some. The next thing I will try is to use a different browser.

Try disabling flash in browser settings or just switch on demand.
I noticed it closes on sites with high flash content

Thanks for the hint. What actually seems to work is disabling javascript.

If you star this issue, a google dev may get interested: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40784&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars

I am experiencing the same issue
Jelly bean sorcery3.1 (android 4.2.1)
Phone now seems sluggish in general and the browser seems to be force closing all the time
Also getting a lot of SOD's and general unresponsiveness
Weird thing is I've been on this rom for a while and it just recently seems to be doing this
edit: my mistake, my rom is actually 4.1.2 so maybe its an unrelated problem but my browser is still extremely unstable

It seems unrelated to the android version you are running. My 4.1.2 tablet browser started crashing also recently. To complicate matters browsing in incognito mode seems to solve problems even with javascript enabled.

I have the same issue. Was on an AOSP 4.2.1 ROM and switched back to a 4.1.2 instead (fresh wipe/flash, even formatted system before flashing 4.1.2 ROM) and still getting it with the stock browser. Visited the same websites on the chrome browser and no closes. You guys are right though, it's not a normal "FC". It just closes and brings you back to the homescreen, almost like if you just hit the home button. When I go to open the browser back up, sometimes the page will load back up from scratch, but sometimes it will just bring me to blank page (my homepage) and I have to start all over to get back where I was.
EDIT:
Also commented on the link above and voted on it.

I have exactly the same issue. I just purchased the gn 2 days ago. I let it update from the stock image. I only rooted and added busybox with a to available here on xda.
With some site the browser window disappear. I also noticed that all tabs are gone when I open the browser again: it just reset all open windows.

I don't have this issue anymore.
I think that Google Play Services were auto updated. I'm not sure if this is what resolved the issue.

Everything greyed out after logging in?

Hey. As of two days ago whenever I log in while browsing XDA on my phone, all the text on the page goes from black to grey. This doesn't happen if I stay logged out. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
It's almost as if the page loaded some kind of popup and greyed everything out (but there's no popup).

I have the same problem. If I turn off java script it solves the issue but then every other website is crap.
Any ideas? It only happens on my android transformer prime, like some overlay on the screen.
Hmm, this is a new one. What browser are you using?
Was using the stock JB/CM10 browser (for the S2/Hercules).
Noticed this issue went away a soon as I reverted back to CM9.
I am also having this problem on my Note using Maxthon browser.
For me it's working pretty good. CM9.1 stock browser + dorimanx kernel 5.90.

Confirming that switching the Theme to 2010 solves the issue (multiple devices).
Thank you.
Come on XDA fix your themes please!! :laugh:
I have the same issue using my Nexus 10 stock with Dolphin browser beta. The problem only apeared when I'm logged in.
Disable JavaScript solved the issue temporary.
Please xda can someone fix the bug!
Change the theme on xda to 2010

Stock browser stealing defaults

Since my update to 4.0.4, the stock browser keeps stealing my Internet default. Anyone else seeing this?

My stock galaxy tab does that with navigation error messages but no others. I've not seen it happen on my one x.
Have you tried clearing the defaults and app data for both browsers?

I think he means the stock browser is being used regardless of the one he chooses as default.

I'm on 4.0.4 too and it does not happen to me, try clearing the defaults from the android app menu.
I have the same problem. If I set Chrome as default browser, it will be default for some time and then forgets it and the stock browser is opened by default.
I will try clearing defaults for both browsers.
Mine did that shortly after updating. I just cleared the stock browsers defaults and set them back to Chrome.

Thanks everyone. Problem seems to have gone since a restart. Though was incredibly annoying as for most things, as I prefer a choice.

Have to say I also encountered this problem.
Searched around the web and also found the solution of clearing defaults. When applied it did work, however sooner or later it happened again.
No matter how many times I cleared the defaults, it just resurfaced a few days later.
The final solution for me was installing a custom ROM (like ViperX), and removing the stock internet browser all together.
To be honest, we ain't using it anyway...

Angel Browser - Great with alot of customization but bug on N7?

This was posted by a user called Glace at the Google Play:
I was excited by all the features and customization of this browser, but using SwiftKey Keyboard, inserting a space into a textarea scrolls the page down and doesn't insert the space. I even tried copying a space and pasting it in and it did the same thing. That makes this browser useless for my purposes, which is a shame.

I expirience the same problem on Paranoid Android 2.13 with both Swype and the stock keyboard. On my Galaxy S with Android 4.0 does that bug not exist.
Could somebody else test if the could reproduce the problem? Please post what ROM you use.

Btw, other than that, best browser from all that I tested! And I think I tested nearly all
Same problem here. I messed around with the settings a little bit but found no such solution to the problem.

I've been trying this browser, seems to work well. I keep going back to Firefox, but this one is still on my N7, that's a good sign! Not rooted, so hopefully none of the keyboard issues posted here.
Same problem on Kaos Droid ROM. Shame.

Provide some more information? Which browser or what other program do you use for downloading? I remember Chrome had problems in the past...

go to manage apps, download manager, now clear its data. that should fix it for you.
I did change browsers and it seems like it's not having the same problem. I also did the clear cache on download manager, thank ya all. I'll report if there are any more issues

It is really painful after you wait for the timer to expire and enter the unreadable captha and then face unsuccessful download.

Chrome on my wifi Tab and GSII keeps reloading xda page when I scroll.

Just started happening last night/today, when I log into XDA using chrome on my Galaxy Tab the page keeps reloading when I try to scroll down. I then tried an xda page on my GSII and I get the same result, but on my Win 7 machine chrome on here is fine.
Anyone have any ideas on what is going on?
I am having the same issue on my galaxy s4, no clue as why but very very annoying. Ran across your thread on Google.

I am also having the same problem on my 7 inch Tab 2 using Chrome on the XDA site. Also, sometimes when I'm just kind of idle on a post, I get redirected to a porn app site. I think Boink is the name of it.
Edit: I switched to Opera beta browser, and it fixed the problem. Until I made this post, now it also does the same thing. No problem with my Epic Touch though.
I am having the exact same issue. It is refreshing the whole page automatically, and refreshing when I scroll. Completely unusable!
This is happening on my Samsung Note 8.0. Tried both Chrome and Chrome beta with the same results. Please fix this.
The only way I've found to get around this problem is by using the xda app. I've tried countless browsers with no prevail. Opera beta, and One have given the best results though.

Holy crap!!! I thought I was going crazy!! The night this happened a porn site popped up on my Tab while I was browsing xda. Ever since then the site has been unusable on my mobile devices. (just in case anyone is wondering, I have never visited a porn site on my tab, other family members use it so that is a no no)
I also get this popup when on the xda site using my tab: The page at ad.yield.manager.com says: Install Candy Crush Saga Now!
Can anyone from xda confirm there is an issue?
Edit: I also get a page loading error when clicking on the forum tab using chrome on my tab as well.

Same here, never been to a porn site either. Candy Crush crap pops up on me too, as a matter of fact, it popped up while I was typing this post. Sure would be nice if an xda moderator or admin would take notice to this thread. These problems are totally uncalled for.

Likewise: I've got the same thing with CM10.1 and CM10.2 on my Samsung Note 2 and my Barnes & Noble Nook HD+: when browsing xda forums with chrome it continually reloads, but only when I'm logged in to xda. If I logout, it stops reloading. This has been happening for at least a week or two for me.

I've got a Nook HD+ that has the stock B&N OS on it, and I just thought to test it, and I get the same behaviour: chrome keeps reloading xda forums when I'm logged in, but doesn't when I'm not. I've got a Nexus 7, too. Lemme see if I get the same behavior on it....
Yes! Exactly the same. My Nexus 7 is running cm10.1, and chrome reloads xda forums, every second or so, as long as I'm logged into xda. As soon as I log out, it stops reloading. Just for fun, I tried using the old Android "Browser", and it doesn't do that.
So, it appears to be totally independent of Hardware and OS. There's something incompatible between chrome and xda forums, but only when you're logged in to xda.
PS: not *totally* independent of hardware and OS: I don't get that behavior on any of my three Ubuntu 13.04 machines. Seems to be limited to Android-based OS's.
Nice man! I've tried it on my Galaxy Tab2 7.0, and my Epic 4g Touch. The tablet is the only one that reproduces this problem. On the tab, I've tested a few different but browsers, and so far Chrome, Opera, and Firefox have all produced the same result. Just that Opera gave the fewest issues. I deleted the stock browser, so I haven't tried it yet, and still havent tried it while logged out. The only way I have found to avoid any problems is to use the XDA app, but I'm sure there are a few like me, that have had small problems (like attaching pics,) also. Hopefully xda/the mods will find this issue great enough to fix it.

This is really strange. With my WiFi Galaxy Tab 2 I don't have this issue. Firefox is my "primary" browser. Opera is my secondary browser. No problems with either one and I'm running CM10.2. I wonder if I'm not experiencing this issue because I'm an RC? Are there any other RC's, RD's, etc. experiencing this issue? Sorry I've read the thread, just don't feel like rereading it :silly:

I think it's a Chrome-specific issue... Oh, I see that kthomson205 says it happens on Firefox and Opera, too.
I saw in some other thread where somebody created a new xda profile and they didn't experience the problem with the new profile. So, it may be limited to some very specific set of options in your xda profile.
I just reinstalled chrome on my Tab2. Logged in, scrolled thru several pages. Making this post via Chrome
No issues for me.
EDIT::
Replicated the issue by ticking "Request desktop site" in Chrome's menu. Unticked "Request desktop site" and the reloading stopped.
