Yeah, neither does Opera (they're not based on WebKit). But they have their share of issues- FF doesn't have flash (well, I haven't checked after today's update) and I don't like the way Opera opens tabs in the background and can't do select text properly.
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
the downside of firefox is that it does not have flash and it seems to present all pictures in a pixelated way.

Can anyone of the other devs help out?
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
I have no idea, but would this link help? http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-5-streak-modaco-com/328601/browser-issues/

seems like the dell streak owners have this issue.

[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
Jeez...noone else having this issue? I am about to sell this POS and buy an iPad! haha

no no, I love my android TAB!
[Xoom General] 2ksilverbullet:
IMO - I think the issue is becoming more wide-spread. Threads are popping up with different titles but it seems to be the same issue.

I have had my wifi Xoom since it was released and haven't had one issue until this cropped up. I imagine someone will figure it out, hopefully sooner rather than later. Unfortunately I don't have the skills necessary to troubleshoot/fix this issue or I'd be all over it.

Last night I cleared all my browser cache, data, cookies, etc., turned off JS (Flash set to on demand), closed the browser and rebooted the Xoom. I was able to get back on the site that consistently closed without any issues. I was shocked as I tried something very similar previously and was not successful. Anyways, so until it's fixed, no Java for me...
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Yeah, it's the damn Javascript that's doing it.

What REALLY bugs me about how this just suddenly started happening out of the blue last Thursday is if someone has discovered a JS vulnerability in WebKit such that a piece of JS can be stored somewhere and affecting any JS we come across- and once we surfed that site (whichever it was- and apparently Zanshin hasn't visited it) we're now affected by this.
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
Thanks for your reply...

I just did the same thing as you did and now it all work. Lets hope for a fix soon.

BTW, I don't know anything about html coding and internet structuring, but what is so important about javascript? All I know is that I need flash for watching hulu haha
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
I'm not proficient in webpages either, but I do know JS lets a website run code on your local machine. For many websites turning off JS won't have much effect, but I can see where some sites won't work properly or will have limited functionality (like can't enter text, etc.).

Too bad there's no per-site scripting toggle; I could turn it off for the sites that are known to break things. I hope someone can find a fix, though, for whatever suddenly broke last week.
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
I'm affected, just not with a full browser death. :P
[Xoom General] 2ksilverbullet:
Exactly. A good example where the JS comes in handy is on BestBuys site. I was trying to order a dual band router last night on the Xoom and gave up. You couldn't read the reviews as the tabs had disappeared. Like Kcrudup mentioned, text input was effected as well (google search wasn't working). Had to go downstairs to my Win7 machine to order it.

Regardless, I'm still able to read and post on my fav sites so that's better than nothing.
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
Hmm disabling JS and also putting all flash element on demand seemed to have help, UNLESS you are browsing multiple tabs. I had about 6 tabs open and the browser closed on me without warning.

no bueno!
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
now ffor some reason, my browser does not only shut down, but my device completely resets. Is there a memory leak or something?
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
Here are some other forums that are discussing the same issue...noone seems to have any ideas on why:

http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/mot...on/6386-frequent-browser-crash-stall-out.html

http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/motorola-xoom-help/6342-browser-crashing.html

http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/motorola-xoom-help/6203-web-browsing-issue.html

One of these threads mention that it could be because your Xoom is low in storage cap...anyone have these issues and their storage is almost full?
[Xoom General] popug:
Thank god!!! Ive asked about this on a few times and no one ever believes me! Hah It sstarted happening as soon as I updated (official OTA) to 3.1. I then rooted to try and fix it but that didn't work and it actually would crash the whole tablet in tiamat ROM and cause a reboot and all sorts of other issues. Took tablet back to verizon and they're sending me a new one under warranty. droid-life.com and android life would always crash it. Friends and store tablets didn't have the issue and the store model had tons of things running in background. Hope Google fixes this asap. Will try the JS off. Thanks
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
Thanks for the reply...this issue is buggin the crap out of me...Did you put your xoom back to stock then go to Verizon? I'm thinking about doing the same,but I don't want a Xoom anymore...
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
Ok I went completely back to stock ...first to 3.0.1 and I had the issues..then upgraded to 3.1 and now browsing is even slower than 3.0.1 and it is still closing when accessing websites
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
You should be aware your new tablet won't make any difference, as there's something in a browser that (I hate to use this term, though) "infects" our browsers (I think) and I'm thinking there's nothing Google can do about it (as the library that's crashing is encoded in the ROM, which means an update would possibly be necessary).

Hell, for all we know, an update the the forum software that runs XDA could have caused this.
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
I also went to the Verizon and also did a warranty return.

I understand that a new tab may not fix the issue, but maybe they can escalate the problem and possible work out a deal for another tablet...unless there is a fix...

I showed the workers at Verizon today and they were stunned...
[Xoom General] bloke:
Its def JS causing it. Mini2.com crashes really quickly when using it, turn off JS and its stable...... argh....

It did only start a few weeks ago though.... I'm unrooted stock on 3.1 , just standard apps. US wifi version.
[Xoom General] legion21:
happens to me too, very annoying wish we could get a fix
[Xoom General] legion21:
Could this be related to overclocking?
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
Nope because it is happening to people on STOCK roms.
[Xoom General] legion21:
guess it was just a coincidence then when I set the Max CPU speed to 1.0 and didn't get any browser crashes for like 30 minutes, then when I set the Max CPU speed to 1.6 it crashed within 5 minutes
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
I'm sure OC'n doesn't help the situation anymore, but the fact of the matter is that the browser is just closing by itself without warning. It shouldn't be doing that anyways.

Anyways, I just put my Xoom in a return box to Motorola. Hopefully my new one will be coming soon.
[Xoom General] cswylie:
Anyone figured this out? Im about to toss this thing out a window.
[Xoom General] rimabi:
not really a solution, bu may help troubleshoot....

I know it's not a workable solution, but I've found that clearing my cache before every new page load keeps it from crashing. Maybe that info can help troubleshoot and find a real solution. I'm using a stock 3.1 wifi xoom with just over 6GB of space left.

Also wondering if the new Samsung tabs are having the issue. I prefer an unmolested version of android, but I may have to go with something else if this keeps up.
[Xoom General] woodylee:
I'm not sure about the Samsung but I had the same browser crash issue when I had the Acer A500 before switching to the Xoom. So far I've tried all the available browsers and the only one that doesn't crash frequently is Opera mobile.

something with jQuery?
[Xoom General] bloke:
For now, turn off JS.
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
Update: Well instead of sending me a new unit, Motorola "fixed" my Xoom and is sending me back my unit. I honestly don't know if it will work, I still havent received it, but I will let you guys know. I sent in my unit explaining the situation and they said they took care of it. I will let you know when I get it back.
[Xoom General] bloke:
Please do let us know what they did.

:-)
[Xoom General] rimabi:
I was able to confirm the JQuery/JavaScript issue on the Samsung 10.1 while at best buy today. There are a few Ajax demo sites that 95% of the time lead to a crash. So I guess we're stuck until Google fixes this. Which, knowing them, may be a few years.
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
UGHHH ITS STILL DOING IT...

I know I know, someone here said that it wouldn't matter if I got my device repaired or even a new one....

Apparently I just got off with Motorola repair services and they said that there was nothing wrong with my device.

I am sending them links to the sites that have issues and lets hope they can figure something out.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
You should realize there's nothing they can do (esp. Moto Support, who are just reading from a script, and at the most will just log a bug to Google). We have identified what the issue is, and the nature of the bug (it also affects browsers based on WebKit) most likely means they can't just send a browser update and would have to fix it in an Android update.
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
I understand, but I was just hoping that letting them know of this issue would get their attention.

Seriously, I do not know what to do.

I have submitted this tip to Engadget and BGR. hopefully they can publish an article and get this problem to the people that can help us.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Let's just hope this is addressed in the rumored 3.2 update that's allegedly coming soon.

What I do as a workaround is have the stock Browser set to run w/o JS, and have the Dolphin browser running with it on; I have somewhat of an idea which sites suffer from the JS bug and will switch browsers accordingly on the "Open Link With" dialog (I haven't set a browser as default).
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
FOUND A WORKAROUND!

EDIT: No I didn't. Never mind.
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
hahaha grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
Another update:

Motorola got me to a level 3 tech support and they couldn't figure it out, so they brought me up to the engineering support level and they will call me back. lets hope for a solution soon!
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Kudos for following thru with this, but please don't hold your breath waiting for an answer (that doesn't involve "please turn off JS, and wait for the next maintenance release").
[Xoom General] cswylie:
Im about to throw this thing out the window if something is not figured out soon.
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
haha i feel the same way so that is why i am taking this to the next level.

the level 3 tech told me that another person also reported the same behavior so they are compounding the issue and going to give me a call back.

lets hope we hear back from them soon.
[Xoom General] alex2792:
I'm pretty sure that Moto can't do anything to fix it. It seems to be a bug in the way Android's webkit engine handles JS, our best hope is that 3.2 fixes this annoyance.
[Xoom General] chbennett:
Change the JavaScript settings to on demand instead of always, and the browser will no longer shut itself down. And you can still use it by tapping on the plug in icon and it will only run the single selected operation.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Which browser has this feature (for JS)? None of the browsers I've used (that are based on WebKit like the stock and Dolphin, which are the only browsers affected by this issue) have such a setting.
[Xoom General] alex2792:
That feature doesn't exist because JavaScript is not a pluguin.
[Xoom General] cc16177:
i use the stock browser and I have an "on demand" option for my JS...
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
... so, tell us how you navigate to that setting, please?!
[Xoom General] poisike:
I think he means Enable plug-ins setting. I set it to On demand a few weeks ago and my browser hasn't crashed since.
[Xoom General] bloke:
Mine has always been set to on demand, still crashes, that on demand relates to flash.
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
That option relates to flash, not JS
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Bet it will if you have JS turned on and go here:

http://css-tricks.com/revealing-photo-slider/
[Xoom General] eqppwqqep:
kcrudup,

That site does not cause a FC or reboot on my Xoom (rooted Tiamat 1.4.4FT @ 1600). Turning of JS and setting add-ins to on demand has stopped my FC and reboots. Stock browser.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Huh. Even with JS on?!
[Xoom General] eqppwqqep:
For anyone who hasn't figured this out (maybe some relatively fresh faces to droid),

- open your stock browser

- go to the File menu in the top right corner (4 verticle little lines with a triangle)

- hit settings

- hit advanced

- uncheck Enable JavaScript

- change Enable plug-ins to On demand.

Worth a shot, right?

I have been having these issues since 3.0.1 for some reason. I rooted day one of owning my Xoom so I could Wifi-tether (adhoc issues and all that). I have tried every different version of browser, custom ROMs, stock ROMs, back to stock OTA 3.1, CWM rerooted, in-store Xooms, replacement Xoom, standing on one foot, even sniffed traffic on my wifi to see if it was a bad command or checksum errors on packets. Nothing.

I wish we knew what this badmamajamadropper thingy is so we could avoid it.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
What I was getting at is these are two seperate actions; there is no "Enable JavaScript on Demand" setting as was alluded to before.

FWIW, "plugins on demand" only help with the speed of page loading and bandwidth; it's unrelated to this issue. While tracking it down I even completely uninstalled Flash, made no difference.
[Xoom General] 2JZ GZE:
Sigh...motorola never called me back =(

I got rid of my xoom and now I have a samsung galaxy tab 7inch...haha im so much more happier!
[Xoom General] 2ksilverbullet:
After a handful of my apps were updated last week, this problem seems to have disappeared on my Xoom. I don't recall which apps updated unfortunately but hopefully it's gone for good.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Nope, not fixed. Try this site with JS on in the stock or Dolphin browser:

http://css-tricks.com/revealing-photo-slider/
[Xoom General] kuroguy:
Thanks for pointing out the hidden browser crash.
[Xoom General] 2ksilverbullet:
I failed to mention my Xoom is no longer crashing on the sites it used to (ford-trucks.com, thedieselstop.com) with JS enabled. I'd go to that site but I'd rather not have the issue initiated in some odd manner so I'll just take your word for it.
[Xoom General] skynet2012:
Hey guys thought you would want to know I contacted Asus about this issue a few weeks back and have been in contact with one of there guys from tech who's been dealing with the issue. He has contacted me via email letting me know there is going to be a update released this month sorting out the browser issue :-)
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Bad news, guys- they didn't fix this in the 3.2 release. :(
[Xoom General] hatworthy:
Yep, still there and still INFURIATING aargh.

Just lost 6 open tabs at once. How could they overlook something like this? It's like a geeky Russian roulette every time I click on a page.

Affects the desktop Google+ site too, especially when scrolling quickly down a post with a lot of comments.

Is there an open issue for this on the bug tracker? We'd better not be waiting until ICS for a fix...
[Xoom General] kllrnohj:
Probably because they just never ran into it in testing. The web is a big place, after all.

Desktop Google+ site crashes for a different reason. There's a reason it doesn't serve up the desktop version of Google+ by default :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegregbradley:
Not sure what the process "media server" is, but it's draining the hell out of my battery occasionally. I'm taking a wild guess and saying that it may be the new google music beta? But it's only occasionally so I don't wanna uninstall since I just got invited to try the cloud music.

Anyone with MIUI notice runaway media server and found a culprit?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
There's something keeping your media scanner running non-stop.

If you use MultiPicture Live Wallpaper, turn off the option to scan for new images. That left mine running constantly, but I did not notice a difference in battery and the power consumption was not very high.

(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegregbradley:
Interesting. I can't quite place what the hell is making it go nuts, and it's only occasionally and I can't seem to trigger it on purpose. Perhaps some sort of album artwork scan? I'm not using any live wallpaper either.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shayne77:
Think I've found the solution (that worked for me anyway)

I encountered this on another ROM and tried MIUI-XJ for the first time last night...

It's the "media" (music/video) player trying to download lyrics/cover art for your songs (as I just flashed this ROM last night, I assume this is a one off "task")

Go into the options and turn this off.. I found withins minutes, the phone wasn't HOT anymore, Battery usage dropped from ~60% to about 13% and is still going down...

See how you go...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unit713:
I'm actually having this issue with my phone...which media player are you using? Currently I'm using doubletwist, and the option to download album covers is only available in the upgraded version, and the stock media player with CM7 (latest RC) doesn't have that option it seems. Any other places in the settings that I can find these options? Thanks
[HTC Sensation] HaydenE:
Hi all, this is my first post so I hope I am following all the correct procedures and forum rules

Basically I love listening to music. I was thinking of getting my first android phone soon, and the phone currently at the top of my list is the HTC Sensation, becuase as far as I'm concerned it can do everything (shame it doesn't have a tv tuner but i'll live without that :P ). The only thing I'm worried about is battery life. Would I be able to get through the day listening to music, some light internet browsing and playing games? Also how good is the sound quality through in-ear headphones?

Thanks,

Hayden
[HTC Sensation] agent.m:
The sound quality is good with the srs pre set. dont know what you'd compare it with but to me i enjoy it but the speaker could be louder. Battery wise i've lasted the whole day with browsing, listening to music and playing a few games. also you might want to try m.tvcatchup.com if you want to watch tv instead of a tuner ;)
[HTC Sensation] Bigmille:
The main battery drain on the phone is the screen, since you are likely to listen to music with the screen off, the battery life should be fine. I think you can get 5hrs of use out of the phone on single charge with the screen on all the time, much longer with the screen off.

If you pair the phone with a good set of headphones the audio quality is very good. The default music player have sound enhancement setting for the speaker and equalizers for headphones. There is also a music widget automatic come on the lock screen when music is playing, this way you don't need to unlock the phone to change track.

The only problem is the phone only came with 8Gb micro sd card. If you have lots of music, you will need to buy a higher capacity card.
[HTC Sensation] HaydenE:
Thanks very much for the information concerning music playback. Having never been an android user before how does the stock music player compare to say an Ipods?

I can't wait until this phone gets released sim free here in the UK. Wish i could get my hands on one now but it seems to be ages (like half a month) until it gets released :(

Thanks

Hayden
[HTC Sensation] dvhttn:
Dunno about the iPhone music player but get Poweramp when you get your phone. A couple of quid gets you something much better than stock.

As for the UK, CPW near me were going to be stocking it last week so I'd check at yours.

[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
I got my Sensation sim free from CeX for £449. It's unlocked, and although it's the Vodafone version, I'm going to be flashing to Android Revolution HD as soon as I can :)

http://uk.webuy.com/product.php?sku=SHTCPYRAUNLA The one I got from CeX. I was trading in two Android phones (DHD and Dell Streak) and paid £92. I also haggled to get £50 off! :P
[HTC Sensation] HaydenE:
I've been to my CPW... no luck :(

Guess I'll just have to wait. Pre ordered with Expansy... think I may change to clove as they're offering a date of 20th June.

Thanks for your time and when I get my device I'll be sure to give poweramp a go :)

Hayden
[HTC Sensation] Bigmille:
Just to clarify, the stock music player on the Sensation is a HTC app, and not the stock Gingerbread music player. It looks better than Gingerbread music player and have the same functions.

I don't think there are many differences between the ipod music player. The HTC app don't have album cover flow, but you can put music widget on home screen and lock screen which make access to music app much easier than double tap the home button in iOS.

I think you will be very happy with the Sensation. This phone is the easiest Android device I've used. There is a much smaller learning curve than a stock Android phone and HTC Sense is a very intuitive user interface.

P.S. Check out this CNET top 5 Android music players if you are not happy with the stock music app.

Also you might need Cover Art Downloader to fetch any missing album art:

[HTC Sensation] HaydenE:
I'll just be glad to get an Android phone. I'm a keen programmer and would love to develop apps or even create a custom rom (or two) in the future. I think that getting this phone will be the first step towards a very pleasant mobile phone experience :)

Hayden
[HTC Sensation] Madcypher:
The EVO 3D is basically the same phone as the Sensation with the addition of 3 extra Gb of RAM. The spec sheet for the Sensation on HTCs site lists 4Gb of RAM with a note that only 1Gb is user accessible.

HTC Sensation tech spec page

I remember when T-Mobile's version of the HD2 came out and it had 768 Mb of RAM vs the 512 in the European HD2s and there was a way to unlock the remainder of the RAM with a hack for the Euro models.

I'm sure given HTCs track record that they've used the same hardware (makes sense) to cut down on costs so it's just a matter of a hack from the community to unlock the remaining 3Gb of RAM.

What say ye?

[HTC Sensation] nirvana2506:
I guess you mean ROM and not RAM...and I've read that it is not possible...

[HTC Sensation] Madcypher:
No, said RAM, meant RAM....

You can do the research, I was going by memory but it actually had 1Gb of RAM vs the 448 in standard HD2s. The Euro HD2s had an unlock that at least gave them 576 Mb, I'm guessing the same will be true here.
