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 .

I flashed CM7 latest Kang build. I don't know much about modding in general, but enough to install and update to latest builds.
At any rate, here are my problems (more to come as I remember and encounter):
- Google Maps FCing
- YouVersion Bible apps FCing
- WiFi slow/unable to reconnect after wake
#3 is the most annoying.
Any suggestions? Thank you!
I just tried to open Maps and first try resulted in a FC. 2nd went fine, 3rd FC'd again, but it seems to be working consistently now...odd. WiFi is strong on old stock modem (H7). No other problems with other apps.

I just tried maps three times. Same ROM as you. Didn't FC at all. The only thing that FCs for me is the DSP manager.
So what could be the problem? Is it the app? Or the ROM? What? Wish it would be all buttery smooth with no problems...
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 :-/

try chrome

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.
Feels like over the last month my cm9 has become much slower, especially when loading web pages. Applies in all browsers, but also some apps.
Dolphjn browser has also become buggy and annoyjng.
Does cm9 store some system cache/temp files i should clear? (i dont mean thecache in eachbrowser)
Thx all!
Maybe give cache cleaner ng a try?

Why don't you try flashing one of the more recent nighties? And why don't you use chrome?

chrome
found chrome to be a bit buggy, havent found my ideal browser.
mostly been using dolphin, though it tends to load web pages as blank and i have to press reload
stock browser tends to randomly close
chrome drives me nuts as i cant get tabs to close!!
opera seemed weird
maxthon took to long
will try cache cleaner apps! thx, never thought of looking for one
I had that aswell....was using cherrykang for a month or so and it just started slowing down and giving me wifi problems. On top of that if the tablet went to sleep sometimes it wouldn't wake up until i reset it.
Finally i gave up and flashed classicnerd
not having any issues here with my firefox browsing on the latest CM9 nightly.
maybe it's the internet connection?
will try firefox
connection is ok, the whole tablet slows right down, you can see it drawing the various sections of a webpage.
My touchpad has definitely slowed down lately. Both quadrant and Antutu benchmark have dropped considerably. I run the unofficial nightlies, and have the CPU set to 1.7 max, 384 min
I've noticed a very slight improvement the last couple of days.
My thought on this is that it's something I've installed. Too lazy to search it out.......
Edit : ICS Browser+ works great for me.
I guess I haven't noticed the slowdown. I use the unofficial nightlies and i think my TP has been running better than ever. I use Chrome as my browser and haven't had any problems.
What kind of issues do you get with chrome?
Also does anyone know of any Web browser benchmarks for mobile devices? I know certain companies claim their browser loads pages x% faster than others browsers. Just curious more than anything.

Chrome still freezes and locks the N10. Have to reboot so the software update didnt change this for me. I will just stick to Dolphin as I get no freezes using that browser.

Can you reproduce the crash? I've used Chrome, on 4.2.2, and have had no crashes (I don't even think I had any crashes in the past either).

Same.. Never a crash on 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 and I've always used Chrome..
I think it might just be my device as I got freezes with chrome from the day I bought it. I stop using Chrome and lockups stopped. Just got the update two days ago and I used Chrome for the first time and the first website I went too and was reading an article, it froze up and I had to do a hard reset. I'm all stock and not rooted.

returned?
I haven't had any crashes or any issues that everyone else has had. Maybe its because I waited to buy my nexus 4 and nexus 10 until February but if I did experience any of those issues I would have returned the device. Why bother with it? That's just my two cents but thank god I haven't had any issues, Yet!! And hopefully I never do
No need to return as I perfer Dolphin anyways, which solved my problem. I bought it from Staples in Jan. and would have been easy to return if I chose too.

Mine crash like nobody business using chrome at 4.2 or 4.2.1
The problem was fix for me after running 4.2.2, by the way I am using latest chrome beta as it perform much better.
Odd, got mine in November and have never had a chrome crash/freeze or hard restart. Admittedly, my average use is less than 3 hours daily, but still...

Did you try the newest Chrome beta?
Chrome still crashes for me.
I have Chrome neatly frozen with Titanium Backup since I got the N10 (I had terrible experience with it on my phone). Never had any problems related to it.
This thread begs my question. I am using Chrome Beta but what do you do with the native Chrome? I have both installed because it seems like Chrome is pretty well integrated into the system and there isn't a uninstall option.
I could freeze it but don't want it to cause any issues.
Any thoughts or experiences?

I use Chrome beta, and have had 1 hard-freeze in Chrome in approx 20 hours use since the upgrade to 4.2.2. Being the beta version of Chrome it can occasionally crash also, but its not too often this happens now either. I don't mind Chrome crashing every few hours as its only a 3 second job to press the button on my homescreen with my tabs still loaded when it re-opens, but freezes are not cool.
Before that, I was on cyanogenmod and Chrome would get a freeze every 5 hours or so.
Only had occasional freezes in Chrome beta since early December. In over 100 hours uptime since installing 4.2.2 I've only used Chrome (not beta!) and had zero lagging, zero freezes and no reboots.
... beamed from my Nexus 10 to your planet
I was having major problems with chrome after 4.2.2 it was just being sluggish and locking up for seconds or more at a time, rebooting seems to fix it and the problem is intermittent.
I have always had lock up and restart problems in chrome on my Nexus 10. I cannot see a particular repeatable browser action and/or site that causes the lock up, but the process is always the same:
Browsing, chrome hangs, screen buttons freeze, and after multiple screen touches the device will shut down and restart.
Happens perhaps 3-4 times a week
I have also had it lock up like that one time while using the cameras, but only once. I have owned the device since launch.

I had crashes several times per day with Chrome (beta and stock)and 4.2.1. I've had zero crashes under 4.2.2 with Chrome beta. I haven't tried the stick version under 4.2.2.
I used to continually have issues with chrome locking or rebooting. Not sure if it was the change to 4.2.2 or the fact I finally bit the bullet and rooted then installed Seeder and LagFix Free but I haven't had a lock up since and things seem to be running faster than ever!!!! Still stock rom and kernel
I still get crashes with 4.2.2, but it's much reduced compared to 4.2.1. I used to be getting several a day and now it's every couple days.
For those with issues, have you performed a factory reset?
