Browser keeps closing and reverting to phone's home screen

[poffer]

The solution:

Go to Apps management screen
Swipe to ALL APPS
Look for "Download Manager"

If its disabled, enable it.

If its enabled (my case) then:
1. Disable it
2. Clear its data
3. Reboot
4. Enable it again
5. Reboot.


Thank you! Fixed this issue on my optimus 4X and SGS 3

Hope this helps you . it helped me resolve the problem. I uninstalled the last app I installed and the browser working perfectly all right again. Good luck with identifying the app and uninstalling it to fix your browser issue

I think I found a solution for this issue. The exact same thing happens to me on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10". After looking a lot for a solution with no success I hooked up the tablet to my development environment to analyze the logs when the error occurs. Apparently there is a problem with com.google.process.gapps which is an Android OS process.

The solution:

Go to Apps management screen
Swipe to ALL APPS
Look for "Download Manager"

If its disabled, enable it.

If its enabled (my case) then:
1. Disable it
2. Clear its data
3. Reboot
4. Enable it again
5. Reboot.

I hope this helps someone.

In my app manager in the app it says disable but it can't turn on

It really seems like the problem is in download manager if you can disable and enable it you can try clear data and restart it works so far for me

Same problem for a month now on Galaxy 6 , on mobile or wifi doesn't matter. Only on google search. Have tried restart. Any ideas?

My lg phone does this as well. Especially when I'm on the phone. It's very annoying especially when you are on an important call. I've been going all through the phone looking for a setting or something. it seems likke it will let you talk for about 20 minutes and then you hear that little bell sound and its gone no warning! Also i tried to root this phone it wouldn't do it. Any NEW suggestions would be wonderful because I'm ready to smash this phone!!
I miss my Motorola !

Any one have an idea why all of a sudden this has started to happen

Thinking it is the touchscreen. All the phone manufacturers use same products to make their phones, so would impact all brands. I have Samsung with ATT - has done this for a year - so discouraging. ATT was their usual no help, of course.
Has anyone found a solution? I find it most frustrating when trying to text.

Quickly tap the browser and click on tabs or bookmark, problem solved! Just needs something else to load.

Chrome is set as default. Go to settings,apps,chrome...turn off default,worked for me.
