xda is constantly reloading - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

On my 2013 nexus I have been having issues with this site constantly refreshing with the chrome browser. I think it has to do with the banner ad's.
Anybody else experiencing this?

re
Update. Next browser does not constantly reload.

I assume your using Chrome. This was mentioned in an other thread and it fixed the issue for me.
1. Scroll down to the bottom of the XDA web page, to the pull down menu.
2. Change to a different style I believe XDA Classic, XDA 2010 or XDA 2013 Beta - 1024, all worked for me.
Hope that helps, Good luck.

re
That did the trick.
Changed it to 2010.
Thanks

Excellent, glad it helped.

Had the same problem with IE9 Win32.

The XDA 2010 option works for Dolphin. It stop the reloading problem when using the back button.

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.

[Q] Chrome issues on the new Nexus 7

Is anybody else having issues with Chrome? When I am browsing with several tabs open some of the tabs just freeze up. I can't scroll up or down, and none of the back buttons work. I have to close the app in order to get it working again. It's happening about every ten minutes. I'm just wondering if anybody else is running into this problem...
It's something with this site because it's doing that on my Note II. Other sites appear fine.

Just picked up this Nexus 7 this morning. It does not seem to like the xda site
Yeah, I've been surfing the web with it for a while now. It works great on most sites, but for some reason, my Nexus 7 (2013) and the xda developer site do not get along. The page keeps reloading if I try to scroll down (and pops in a new ad banner each time.)
I can only see the top portion of the page. It seems to mainly happen on the forum list pages. (For instance, if I go to the Nexus 7 (2013) page it list the sub categories. If I try to scroll down it reloads the page. Thats ok because the list is short. But if I go to one of the sub categories, like Q&A and try to scroll down to see the full list, it keeps reloading and putting me back to the top of the list. A few times the window locked up and I had to close and reopen it)

My chrome browser has froze up from time to time. I'm on chrome beta now and have been fine.
I too have had issues with the chrome browser and the xda site. It constantly reloads, regardless of what I'm doing. Relieved to know I'm not the only one.
It seems to causing the shockwave plugin to crash. I used to have the same problem with Android Central. Might be an issue with their ads.
I just use the xda app from my phone, ask the website I've tried work well so far on chrome.

Can confirm that issues start after signing in xda on chrome beta. It was not immediate and then it would just freeze. Clearing data did unfreeze it. The xda app appears to be working fine.

I have this issue too and it is independent of having the Xda site up. Its frustrating along with a few other small things that I hope a factory reset will fix.

For xda browsing with the N7, try changing the xda layout. Scroll to the bottom of any page, in the bottom left corner there is a pull down menu. Try changing to one of the older/other layouts. Some have said it fixes the xda browsing issue.

Thanks....that worked for me. I am on the 2010 layout. Man that was annoying.
So it appears to be the way xda is done, right? Happening on my S4 as well..

Same here. I still have tabs freezing on me occasionally, but XDA is not reloading itself whenever I scroll down anymore.
If you have more than 1 tab open, you can go to the recent apps screen, touch Chrome, select a different tab before the address and tab bars hide themselves, then close the frozen one without effecting the others.
For reference, the constant refresh problem is also tracked at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382516.

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 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.

[Q] why all the pop ups on xda with N7

I keep getting redirected to the play store and other websites when I'm on xda with my nexus 7 and on my phone.
Also every time I move a page up or down the page refreshes and I have to move the page again to see what threads are at the bottom of the page. It is getting to the point where I'm thinking of deleting my xda bookmarks and not bothering with the site on my tablet.
All other websites are fine by the way. I have avast installed and I'm using chrome.
Please help, thanks.

I use chrome on Android and haven't seen that - does it change when you zoom?
It'll change if I zoom, scroll and "mess" around, but I can't reproduce it with the same behaviour one time after another. It's random. And sometimes it don't change at all, it stays unreadable.

More information:
Some time ago I used chrome beta and had the same issue. That's why I started to use the stable chrome and everything was fine.
Though, I guess now with the latest stable release on play store the changes in the previous beta got merged.

Is there any way to send feedback for chrome? I left a feedback, but know nobody sees play store feedbacks
Hah, not sure. I've been messing around with line-height CSS settings, I thought perhaps that would fix the issue. I believe it has something to do with re-flow or lack of re-flow. It seems to me to be a bug within Chrome mobile browser since it doesn't show up on desktop. Perhaps if we all submit a "Report an Issue" eventually someone will see it?
@bitpushr I bet we can solve this by enabling or disabling some of the flag at chrome://flags
Don't know wich one though

It seems to be a bug in Chrome out of our control - I was able to recreate the issue but various CSS settings (line-height) did nothing to fix the issue. It has to do with Chrome redraw I believe. Someone reported that they saw the same behavior on other sites so figured this one is above us. Please report the bug to the Chrome team as I think this is the best way to fix this.
