Has anyone installed Firefox on their SGS2? I am experiencing random reboot issues whenever I run Firefox either in foreground or in background. It doesn't happen all the time...but enough to be quite annoying.
I'm running Cognition 1.5.1 but I did factory reset after installing the ROM so it should be clean.
Running Firefox as default browser so far had no problems on stock, lightning, cognition & at present running on revolution never had a FC once. Can't help you besides trying the usual stuff with a dodgy running app.

I'm running Firefox beta on full stock and never had a reboot issue. Maybe a bad addon or cache needs a wipe.
Are you sure it's Firefox and not smth else ? Firefox works fine for me, never had a reboot, but stock music player causes reboots now and then. Are you playing music at the same time ?

I have the occasional reboot with Firefox if I access certain web pages.
The word Beta is a clue .

My Samsung Galaxy S2 rebooted once or twice a week.
Reboot occured when I opened the dolphin hd browser (after waked up the phone) or when I started an other progrem AFTER the browsing.
I uninstalled dolphin hd and no reboots at all.
Is it possible that Dolphin HD caused the problem???
Members using D HD: does your phones reboot randomly?
I have XEKI4 (2.3.4), full stock - not rooted.

Maybe a dumb question but you said u recognized this and so uninstalled.
You tried to reinstall it?
PS: Clearing all data/folders you find in "My Files" before.
CHEERS

Think different!
If Dolphin HD has issues on your phone, change your phone or just use another browser.
There are many alternatives, such as Opera, Firefox, etc.
And please report your problems directly to [email protected].
P.S.: Didn't you like the internal browser?
great
cool awesome

No, I hate the stock browser and loved Dolphin
Why?
- Lastpass support (addon)
- Tabs
- Design
- cache managment
- easyer user agent managment (addon)
etc. etc.

Hi! Thanks for your suggestion. After the first reboot I made a factory reset and reinstalled only the most important programs (dolphin and a few others...), I also cleared the content of the built in sd.
I'm on KI4 with cfroot n using Dolphin HD, no problems, great battery life compared to the horrible KI3.

Ki3 is not so horrible. For me it is just normal
Yes, Dolphin HD caused reboots on mine too (Opera Mobole just once) both on stock and MIUI Rom. Think it's a compatibility problem, maybe with S2 and the dualcore architecture

Well,
3 (with me) - Problems with Dolphin
1 - no problem
It's a strange issue (if it is realy due to Dolphin).
I wrote a letter to dolphin support team also.
Is it possible that an app causing reboot AFTER we closed it?
It probably can if it stays in the background, but not completly sure about this.
My S2 used to reboot a few times a day and then it suddenly stopped .
I ve never had Dolphin HD installed.
I figured this out a few months ago as well I tried numerous troubelshooting methods to narrow the reboots down. Finally after removing dolphin hd some time ago I never get reboots anymore. I'm glad this thread seems to confirm it. I thought I had a bad device for quite some time but am glad it was just software
I had rebooting issues (probably from dropping it once too many times). Solution was to open it up and pop off and reseat every ribbon cable. Turned out my radio cable was loose (from mobo side to bottom antenna unit). Just worked for me...

It is the reason, why I opened this thread.
Let's see.
-4 of us have problem with DolphinHD.
-For 3 of us the rebooting stopped after uninstalling Dolphin HD.
-2 people hava no problem with dolphin HD
(one with custom rom)
I've got a mail from Dolphin Support.
They relased a hotfix.
It is possible that hotfix will solve the problem, but I'm a little bit sceptical.
I'm still testing the phone without D HD. 56H uptime.
Anybody else with reboot problems (and Dolphin installed)???
anybody else?
Anyone else having this issue or know if there are settings I could tweak to stop this?

i had the same issues on Eclipse 1.3. i reverted back to stock rooted 2.3.4. i haven't flashed a new custom rom because of this reason. i'll follow this thread to see if there are any solutions.
I couldn't get YouTube to play yesterday on 3G. I haven't tried wifi yet to see if it's just my 3G signal or what.

I just watched a video I posted on YouTube over 3g and it worked just fine. Mind you, I didn't watch it in HQ mode since it was over 3g, but no jumping, skipping, etc. Worked just fine.
As for games, sometimes they pause, but not always. Overall, I'm getting better performance out of CM7 than I have out of any other ROM, stock or custom.
GTA 3 plays beutifully just like on Eclipse 2.0.1
One thing I have noticed when I ran Smartbench 2011 is that my Productivity and Gaming indexes dropped going from CM7 Alpha to CM7 Beta.
On Alpha (with the extra core constantly on), this is what I had:
Productivity: 3395
Gaming: 2581
After going to CM7 Beta, this is what I have:
Productivity: 1776 avg.
Gaming: 2383 avg.
I then launched system tuner pro and noticed that only 1 cpu was on. But, it appears as if the 2nd core never comes on, at least from what I can tell. If I tell System Tuner Pro to enable both cores and run my benchmarks, I notice that I get back the scores I had before.
Now, I have noticed a slight drop-off in games at times. My question is, is there a way I can monitor if the 2nd core ever comes on when it's needed? Is there an app I can run to monitor this and then I can see if/when the 2nd core came on and at what frequency it ran? Heck, are the any logs I can look at?
Just curious.
Also, one thing I have noticed. If I mess with the Memory Auto-kill settings (such as with V6 Scripts), I notice games get a lot laggier, especially Fruit Ninja. If I leave them at the default settings CM7 comes with, the games perform a lot better.
Thanks!
I didn't have any of these issues on eclipse (any version) so this is new to me.. YouTube works but it constantly pauses or restarts..Iv only tried over 3g so I'll try wifi today. On some other sites my browser wont recognize flash player or the video will be scrambled in black and pink streaks...the strangest thing.
Could the theme I'm using have anything to do with it? Its the epic blue and bold..

I just went to YouTube via the stock browser and the video played just fine over 3g. I also went to FoxNews to try and stream a video there and it worked just fine under CM7 Beta.
You DO have Flash installed, right? Just making sure! I know on my phone I have both Adobe Flash and Adobe AIR installed.
I had AIR installed and had to install flash player on this rom just to get any bids to show up in the browser...never had to on any other rom or stock. I might just reflash the rom and go from there...otherwise its back to eclipse til the next cm7 update

That's because the CM7 doesn't come with everything installed. It's a bare-bones ROM where as the other ROMS, including stock, include the Adobe stuff in it.
Like I said, I have it all installed and YouTube and other flash-sites show up just fine in my browser without any issues. The sound is fine, the video is fine, no choppiness in them at all and that was over 3g.
Ok thanks. So at least I know that its not the rom. Ill have to try something. Clearing the data on apps fixed most of the force closing issues but nothing has fixed the video issues yet. Unless its the theme or another app in the background interferring.. scratching my head on this one

If anyone else has the YouTube issue just go to the market and uninstall the YouTube updates...YouTube stays installed and then works without the constant pausing and restarting. Games are still pausing but enter want to delete my data to try to fix that

Hey guys,
I've been running AOKP ICS (M3) on my GTab 10.1 WiFi for the last few days with flawless performance and very few issues. However, I am experiencing problems in the stock browser. After, several minutes of surfing, the browser becomes very laggy. Soon after pages fail to load and hang around 10%. At this point the browser is unusable. The problem persists until I close the browser and force close it. Has any one else experienced this issue on ICS? Any fixes?
Note: I have tried all of the obvious fixes like wiping cache, data, reinstalling from, etc.
Thanks!

It seems to happen on image and java intensive sites for me. I found using an ad blocker fixed most of the freezes. Other than that i think we will just have to wait for an update. (aircanada. Com crashes the browser on every visit)
Yeah memory intensive sites tend to cause this. I just installed an ad blocker, I'll see if it helps. Thanks for the advice!
I'm pretty sure once everything with tegra 2 gets sorted out completely, it'll work fine.
Same problem here
ics is more smooth than honeycomb, I don't want to flash back because of this glitch.
I have installed the ads blocker before but problem still
anyone have the solution ?
Guys, a bit OT maybe, but seems like a good place to ask
I was also trying this ICS build yesterday and loved what I saw, but there were two main problems that are deal-breakers for me at the moment:
- I can't subsribe to any Google services (gmail, reader, market), because there's no way to sync google account as as actual "google account",
- because of above, I can't install - from the android.market.com - apps that I already had, because it says I already have them installed; I have to look around the web for .apk-s and install manually
Did you also had those problems? Is it the same for every ICS build out there? Will this be fixed for the final Cyanogenmod9 release?
For the time being, I'll stay on GalaxyTask 13...
Well, the ad blocker definitley seems to help and my issues with the browser are far less frequent.
@antic604
I would do a full wipe, then install the latest version and don't forget to flash gapps afterward.
Try setting pluggins to on demand.
Same thing here on my asus prime, even if my plugin is on demand. I didn't have this issue on my prev asus. I'm very disappointed. This OS is just like a beta version. So the prime with ics is very bad value for the money. I don't know what to do, sell it or wipe and load a new rom :-/

Yeah I have the exact same problem.
I use Chrome Beta whenever the Stock browser becomes laggy and hangs, it's very annoying.
This problem I have and the face .avi files get deleted, I have placed a fair few series on my Tab and wanted to access some and half of them were gone.
This happened a few times already.
I tried several ICS ROMs here on my I9100TDUKJ1.
The chrome browser gets FC on all of them. And also the default browser always makes CPU usage more than 45% reported from task manager and consume the most power, heat up my phone to extremely hot.
Anyone have any idea or experience on that? Or anyone have tried chrome browser on any ICS rom without FC?
Thanks.
Chrome ia buggy in ics...ur problem is not unique..dont use it till a stable version comes out

This was happening last week, I've only just got round to asking about it. (I am currently running a different rom, but i would still like to raise the issue)
I had the latest version of CM10 at the time. When I was using firefox or chrome they both just kept crashing, i could move between a few web pages, then they would pack up and say not responding - wait, close or report.
Is this just me or are others experiencing the same.
the stock browser works fine.
I'm currently on cm10. For me both the browsers u mentioned are working flawlessly :thumbup:
