ALL browsers crash constantly (except Chrome), Nexus 7


Hi all,

new user with an old(?) problem. I already wrote about it here, but I now realize that my problem is much larger than anticipated.

To put it short: Dolphin Browser started force closing randomly a few days ago. I couldn't get rid of the problem and tested pretty much every browser available for the Android platform. Opera, Firefox, Boat, xScope, Maxthon and so on, they ALL crash. I don't really like Google Chrome, due to its lack of options (no fullscreen etc.), so this is driving me nuts.

Here is what I did:

- uninstalled and reinstalled Dolphin
- rebooted the tablet
- deleted the app cache (also via "wipe cache partition")
- disabled Google Admob
- executed a full factory reset, installed Dolphin first, still crashing

The problem itself is and affects many OS versions, even more devices and every browser. The only workaround is to disable JavaScript, which of course renders many web pages unusable.

Coming from a Blackberry Playbook with its own fair share of browser related crahes, I'm now utterly frustrated with the situation. The first three weeks with my new Nexus 7 felt absolutely perfect, almost like honeymoon. Than BAM!, sh*t hits the fan.

Is there anything else I could try apart from whining and sharing my pain?
