Guest Pdragon Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 Hey all, Big thanks to Paul and all the supporters here for all the great help. Have my Vega for a while and its lovely. I am capable enough modder and have Pauls r8 Rom on my Vega, I have no problem making tweeks etc. However the stock browser seems to crash alot. I have tried a few others Firefox etc but they are still not optimisied for Tablets and have their own faults/crashes. I even tried the ADAM stock browser but it wasn't very usable. Any ideas for what is causing it to crash? Example sites are going to this forum from google or going to gmail from the iGoogle page. Thanks for the help. PDragon :mellow:
Guest trevor432990 Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 I use Dolphin HD browser and have been very happy with it though others prefer Mirren. Regardless they should not crash so as Simon said clear the caches but also check that you have all the settings correct. If you still have issues with either of these come back and tell us as there should be enough people here to solve the problem :mellow:

I expect that should do the trick. Also I'll give Mirren a look, haven't checked it out yet. Pdragon
Guest duvee Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) Me and my brother have both the pov mobii.. mine had flash player 10.1 and he didnt.. on every site he came witch required flash, the browser crashed too. So i would say to update your flash pplayer, just in case. Edited May 4, 2011 by duvee

Hey Duvee, I am on Flash 10.1 which is the most stable for the Vega (10.2 would be worse), I have been able to view sites with flash fine but it may still be related. Thanks for the suggestion though. To Trevor and Simonta, I cleared the cache and it still have the same problem. Further to that, I installed Dolphin HD and Miren Browsers. Dolphin HD worked for a short while (and looked awesome) as I tested many sites, then the crashing began and even the default Dolphin HD Homepage crashed the browser. Clearing the cache for this was also no use. So far Miren is working ok but I haven't given it the thorough testing that the other browsers got. It may yet crash Ideally I would want the normal browser (and Dolphin HD) to work so that the root of the problem is addressed. Push come to shove I will reinstall the Rom but as a last resort. Still stumped! PDragon P.S. any suggestion I will test later today after work. Keep 'em coming!

If all browsers are crashing this euggests that there is a problem with webkit which is the core Android browsing module most browsers are built upon. A reflash might be your ojly option. If you have CWM installed, tru clearing the Dalvik cache.
Guest warriorscot Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) The stock browser and dolphin are more or less the same. Honestly the two best are Miren and Opera and if you have those you can more or less ignore the stock. Really I would just reinstall the ROM see if the problem persists. If you don't want to lose anything you can make a nandroid backup in clockwork to restore it to as it is now quickly or titanium to load all your applications and settings back on after its installed. Might be a good chance to try a different ROM, perhaps corvus5 or CM7. Edited May 5, 2011 by warriorscot
