I keep getting the browser just crashing to desktop? cleared cache etc but it just crashes and also slows down when using the xoom for more than a few hours.
View 2 RepliesI like using the stock android browser however didn't like the fact that it defaulted to "mobile" mode when viewing certain pages.
If your interested, I found a simple solution to enable "desktop" mode on computerworld.com: [URL]
It involves changing your browser's debug settings. I tried it and it worked!
Does anyone know if the Goog is working on a permanent way to identify the browser on a Xoom as a desktop device and not a mobile device?
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy video app in my XOOM which pretty much is linked to your Google account to rent movies etc. keeps crashing on start. I have tried to uninstall the update that came through and the system automatically restored the factory version, but still it keeps crashing. I tried clearing the apps cache... no change.Is this a app bug?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am still running 3.1 on my Verizon 3G Xoom. In the last few weeks, I have noticed an increased incidence of the "Launcher Process" crashing while the unit it idle. I get the error message, and then the device reverts to the last app I was using even though I had exited to home.
It is a bit of a pain becuase it happens 4-5 times a day.
At work, we use Novell Groupwise. Calendar syncs fine, but BB Desktop Manager crashes when I sync addresses. I can load one-way from the computer to the BB, but not the other way. I may have a corrupt address, but haven't been able to get it all to work. What do I do to stop this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just installed Desktop Manager 6.0 today as an upgrade from the previous version. However, when I try to start the program with or without the phone attached to the computer it crashes immediately. I have uninstalled the software and re-downloaded it and installed it again all 5 times and it continues to crash as soon as I start it. After uninstalling it the 2nd time I was very careful and deleted any sign of the software on my computer and that hasn't helped either. I have been making sure to re-boot in between installations. I am running Windows 7.0 64 bit with 4 GB of RAM and a Core Duo 2.5 GHz processor.
View 203 Replies View RelatedI'd like to be able to mirror my xoom screen on a desktop monitor for small group presentations at job sites. I've viewed some of the threads on hdmi to vga, hdmi to dvi and hdmi to hdmi, but am a little confused as to which is easiest. It looks like if you go with hdmi to vga you'll need some type of converter, not just a cable? If it was just a cable that would be perfect.
View 7 Replies View RelatedIs there anyone else who prefers some sites in full desktop view ie. ESPN? The stock browser User Agent is still accessible through about:debug but most sites are still redirected to a mobile version even when "Desktop" is selected. my favorite browser wont deliver a non-mobile view unless you select the UA as I-Pad. That can't be good. Anyway....all was well on my OG Droid and now I'm about to give up on this dilemma and just install DolphinHD or something.
View 2 Replies View Relatedafter reading the thread about apps running in the background i removed some i don't use, now periodically as im reading a website the whole browser wil just close and i go back to the 'desktop' if thats what its called.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am coming to the conclusion that the perfect browser for the XOOM does not exist.Dolphin HD seems to be using the same flakey rendering as the stock browser.Skyfire is also using the same flakey engine and I believe that is because Flash won't work with anything else.Opera is extremely stable but won't allow me to post on these forums and they have removed flash support because they cannot make it work right.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have been trying out different types of internet browsers: the native version, opera, firefox, dolphin and skyfire.Reason being is because I am investigating the cause of the random reboots my device is facing.I've tried to reduce all settings: No bluetooth, removed syncing, no location information.Now the device is able to do most basic things and not experiencing any reboots. However as soon as I start web surfing it's just a matter of minutes before the whole tablet crashes.What web browser do you think (or know) will provide the most stable experience for the xoom 2?
View 14 Replies View RelatedAn earlier post implied that 3.1 has a setting for uastring, and that about:debug is no longer needed.
I haven't been able to locate any uastring settings in browser settings or system configuration.
uastring still works, but has to be reapplied if the browser is closed, same as 3.0.1. A post elsewhere had indicated that the settings would persist until reboot.
Ok after some trial and error i am now able to view content on the bbc iplayer in its correct format but its a bit fidly, here is what you need to do:Firstly in your stock browser type about:debug to enable enhanced menu's. Navigate to settings, debug and UAString and change this to iPad BEFORE launching bbc.Now launch BBC/iPlayer, it will come uo slightly formatted for the ipad screen but looks tons better than the mobile version.You will not be able to play videos fro here... go back into settings, debug and change UACString to Desktop then refresh the screen and voila you have the desktop version of BBC iPlayer.My guess is the initial brower check that the bbc do incorectly identifies the device when in desktop mode and tne android page/mobile is just pants. Too many companies in bed with Apple which is why they sucessfully dominate the tablet market.

Xoom tablet with Android 3.2.1 With the Xoom display horizontal, when you touch (click) some links in the browser the screen just goes dim and does nothing. If you then rotate the Xoom to cause it to display in the vertical mode you can then see the popup window and interact with it.Those popup windows are off the bottom of the screen when in horizontal display mode. Because the popup window has taken the focus away from the main page you cannot even scroll the page up to reveal the popup.It just seems like the Xoom browser has dimmed and frozen. An example link is if you do a Google search for a town, say Sheridan WY, and on the search results page touch (click) the result that shows a Google map of the town. The Xoom's browser will dim and nothing will happen. If you rotate the Xoom to vertical you ca then see the popup.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI notice that when I go to certain websites, there's a modal popup, telling me if I want to use tapatalk. If I choose OK, market apps open and one can purchase the app.I do have the popup blocker set to enabled and have the the UA string set to Deskto. t's annoying, and you gotta pay for the tapatalk app too. Is there a way to block this pop up from happening?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a 3G Verizon Xoom on 3.1. I've noticed an issue since I got the tablet a few months ago; every once in a while, when opening a URL from outside the browser, the screen will flicker, like the connection to the LCD has gone bad. It is corrected by tilting the tablet to change the orientation from landscape to portrait, and then everything is fine. The issue only happens when opening the browser from inside another app - by clicking on a link in the gmail app, for instance.
View 9 Replies View RelatedEvery morning the Dolphin browser pops up a message about backing up bookmarks to the SD card and asks if I want to have a try. It mentions backing up to the SD card and since there is no SD card in the Xoom ( although they call memory SD card ), are they talking about backing up to an actual SD card or are they referring to what shows in the Xoom as sdcard?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm a web developer wanting to debug web pages inside the Xoom web browser.I have a particular issue in which I have a page with a number of <select> lists, the first two lists allow me to choose values but the remaining lists do not - even though I know the lists contain values. I'm guessing that this could be a WebKit bug but am hoping there are some simple debug tools to assist me, similar to Google Chrome, but I have no idea where to find them. about:debug doesn't help much and view-source: doesn't work.
Have tried using Opera Mobile browser and the lists works without a problem and have tried Firefox but this was too buggy to test. Dolphin seems to exhibit the same issues as the default Xoom browser so I'm gessing it uses the same version of WebKit.Getting this working is a crucial part of my system and I do not want to recommend that the customer use iPads to get the most reliable web functionality. So, are there any debugging tools for web pages available on the Xoom?
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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs 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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to listen to an Internet radio in one tab and reading newspapers in another tab to no avail. This happen in the Chrome browser as well as in the Dolphin HD (latest version). Only one tab is on and the other goes off in the background. Desktops have no problem dealing with this kind of multitasking. Is there a way to make the Xoom support tab multitasking?
