Motorola Xoom :: With Android 3.1 Update, Is Browser Slower And Force Closed?
Jun 6, 2011
have a Xoom that is consistently force closing the browser when I visit certain javascript animation sites, including our own web site with animations.(Animations built using jquery 1.4.4 but tested on 1.6.1 as well.) These sites did not cause force closes previous to the Android 3.1 update. The issues are also occuring for our customers with Xoom tablets recently updated to Android 3.1.An example site that crashes:http://css-tricks.com/revealing-photo-slider/Also, we found that if we follow the instructions here for turning off OpenGL (hardware acceleration) support in the browser,http://www.intech-bb.com/how-to-improve-asus-eee-pad-transformer-browser-speed/the force closes do not occur and javascript animations are in fact smoother and better than before!! However, Adobe Flash support is also lost if OpenGL is disabled.
The initial shine of the 3.1 patch to fix shortcomings in orginal 3.1 upgrade has tarnished.I'm now experiancing regular "Not Responding" messages while browsing, and if you select "wait" rather than "close", the entire system freezes.This results in me having to hold the UP volume button and power button until it does a hard shut down.
My Mini pro has the low on space icon even if I have uninstalled a lot of applications. And I think it is messing up my fone coz now my browser and other apps get forced closed...
Why does my browser keep force closing. It doesnt happen all the time but when it does, its so annoying because it doesnt show the last page I was on, ughhhhhh its so annoying.
I have the Wifi only Xoom. I can open the android Market but when I go to my installed applications the Market force closes everytime. I have tried clearing the cache, clearing data, and force stopping the application and still no luck. I went as far as doing a factory reset and I still am unable to view installed applications.
Mainly happens while on facebook mobile, and will occure while typing completely randomly. The reply from support is simply update software, I can't see why I have to do all this, as apart from anything else I don't currently have a phone line for internet due to illegal BT sales activity! It is also suggested that I send phone off in a jiffy bag to be repaired if unsuccessful, and what do I do for a phone in the mean time?? Not only that they suggest that it will cost me if it is not a fault they cover.
I have not been able to update my apps for 5 days now because I keep getting a force close. I have cleared every cache and history, restarted and rebooted 3 times and I still can't get my apps to update
The problem is that, I clicked the green button with a phone logo at the bottom of the homepage,then clicked the tab "Contacts", the phone force close it,and also the signal drops to emergency calls only.Before I discovered this problem, I just set a speed dial for my mum's contactand made a call with the dialler by pressing the number keyboard but not the contacts.

i have a xoom 32gb wifi only device that i purchased from woot.com and i received the update notice to 3.1 today. i have downloaded and attempted to install three times now, each attempt has failed? see image for error
Trying to install Android update HTK55D via bluetooth connection with Motorola Photon. Update screen comes up and starts - download button is "greyed out" - but nothing else happens. Have let it go all night with no results... Have rebooted and get same results... Am on the road with no other internet connection available.
I have a brand new Xoom with Android 3.2, but the version of Android Market is only 1.0.28. It does not 'automatically update. I would like to update it so I can add a pin to stop my kids from purchasing things! Which is apparently available in the latest version (3 or so).
Have seen posts from folks who received this OTA update for their Xoom Wi-fi tablets.As of 30 October, no update info on my tablet.Is the rollout of this update still underway?
Is anyone else having issues with any (even aftermarket) browsers closing / force closing randomly and CONSTANTLY? Ever since the 3.1 update I can't use any browser because it just closes out. The stock browser doesn't show a forced close dialog after, but the aftermarket ones do. I could definitely use a hand in figuring this out so my tablet isn't almost uselss.
The Flash 10.2 app just updated but says that it requires Android 3.0 to update. I thought that Honeycomb was Android 3.0 so I'm confused. what this update is supposed to actually do when functional?
I got the 3.1 update and it has imprved performance for browser greatly. but -- I can no longer see the tabs for open web pages at the top of the browser windo -- and I really want to see them. I can find a list of thumbnails in the "swipe from the side" enhanced menu -- but I'd like to see tabs for each open browser page up at the top of the browser window.
i have a wifi only xoom running android 4.0.3. yesterday i got the ics update and my ability to watch video from amazon on my xoom in my browser went bad. prior to the update it worked on and off but when it had problems they were never like this, and when it had problems they showed up on all computers i own that tried to use the service. the problem on the xoom tablet continues today. the video is pixelated and very choppy. the audio is very crackly and popping. this is not the way it worked prior to the upgrade.
i can watch the same video on my desktop chrome browser and it works fine. i can watch it on firefox browser and it works. on the xoom i can use the andriod marketplace to buy a video and watch it and it works fine. i can use the xoom browser to view ted and Internet videos and they work fine. is it the browser, the ics update, or is the amazon delivery system antagonistic to ics? also i noticed a very sharp drop in audio volume output of all kinds once the isc upgrade had been done. i simply can not turn up the volume loud enough to hear it easily.
So I've disabled hangouts on my Nexus 6 for a very long time now. I also keep on getting the message hangouts has stopped/force closed, then I just click OK. Is there any way to prevent this message from a continuously popping up though?
I downloaded the new update 2 days ago. Since that time when i try to access the internet, after just several seconds, I get an error message :The application Browser (process com.android.browser) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. " Then an option to force close.
I have a LG G3 recently updated to Android 5.x. While texting yesterday I noticed that if I was typing (had the keyboard showing) and an incoming message arrived within my conversation, that the keyboard is forcibly closed. Thinking it was my built in LG messenger app, I downloaded the Go SMS Pro, Handcent SMS, Chomps, and Google Messenger apps. They all behave the same way.
I then tested my wife's iPhone. When she gets incoming messages they just show up, without forcing the keyboard to close.
So, is this the way it is supposed to work? I have never noticed it before. Could this be a LG upgrade-to-Lollipop issue?
I have had too many problems with thsi phone and I'm starting to think it wasn't worth the $300. First of all the Android MArket force closes on me every time I go to the Just In game section. Another problem I've had is freezing, it freezes way too often. The biggest problem is the freaking resetting, my phone just resets for no reason, I'm just browsing through the internet or playing a game and suddenly the phone vibrates and turns off for example and then it turns on again and let's be serious the phone takes a long time to turn on, I have had this happen to me 5 times in the last 3 days and it is really annoying. Also wanted to know if this phone will ever be upgraded again to a newer version of android. I just have to know Motorola are you planning on fixing any of these problems, because this product is very, well how can I put it, horrible. I'm hoping you guys do something about all these bugs because most of us payed $300 for a crap phone taht rarely gets any updates. Just truly disappointing.Also forgot to add, will thsi phone ever be able to install apps/ save them on SD because the internal memory is too low and fills up to fast and I can't find any option enabling me to save my apps to my SD card.
I just received my Xoom wi-fi only and while setting it up I received the 3.1 update, which I installed. I had not added any files to my Xoom yet but while I started playing some of the music files that came with the Xoom, the player force closed while I was browsing the music files. It does not close while playing music but only while browsing the music that came with the Xoom. I then added music to the music folder from my PC and it still force closes while browsing my music files. This happends all the time after I play a few music files. I have the music player 3.0 version. A reboot does not help, it does it every time I use the player. Has anyone had this problem? Any suggestions are welcome. If I install another music player app. will it recognize my music already in my Xoom? And any recommendations on another player? I'm tired of the force closing of the Music player that came with the Xoom.
Ever since getting my XOOM back from Motorola after the 4G upgrade (Android 3.2.2, non-Root) I get a force close on the Market when trying to install Documents To Go 3.0 Main application. I can download and install the Pro Key which I bought from the Market with no issues. I have tried the Factory Reset and I still get same issue.
Exception class name: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException
When I try to access the manage applications option under settings, it shows the spinning icon stating its working and then finally the apps look like they're loaded and when I try to scroll down it is EXTREMELY slow. After scrolling for a couple of seconds, it slows down and then stops. After being frozen for about a minute,I get the infamous black popup stating: process com.android.settings has stopped unexpectedly...force close.Also, I am unable to add quick dial contacts. I can get to the screen where it show 1-9 options with Voicemail alredy being #1, but I long press the number I want to edit and then select the contact to use but when it exits back to the quick dial page the contact I just chose is not there.I have the extended battery and prior to the GB update, my battery widget was showing 4200-4230 for the mV readings. Now, it is only showing up to 4155. I put the stock battery in to check that and the same thing, it stops at 4155.
been wondering if anyone has been all of a sudden getting all kinds of force closes for no reason at all then freezes up so bad you can't turn off for 20 min and clock freezes in time
