browser keeps fc

[jdazzr]

Guaranteed every time I open my browser it will force close on me. I am rooted and was running custom Roms, I figured it was a Rom issue so I restored back to a previous Rom. That Rom did it as well, so I restored back to stock and the stock Rom does it as well

Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks

I would try clearing cache, history, cookies, and data and see if that fixes the issue.

When your restoring these previous Roms are you wiping your data? That may help too if your not.

I think mclarryjr is on to something. If you follow his suggestion and clear your cache and still have issues, try re-flashing your rom, making sure you wipe your data first. If that doesn't work, I don't know what will.

Actually no. When I flash back I do just that, flash back. I should wipe before flashing back to an old Rom? I thought that was just when installing a new one.

Thanks guys

I always wipe to be safe and you should have all your apps and settings saved on you backup Roms you shouldn't lose a thing.

Do you get an actual force close or does your browser just "go away"?

Issue's can arise if you are overclocked on some kernels where the browser opens, works fine, and then just closes. Are you overclocked? What kernel are you using?

Ah.... thank you sir. Is that when a Rom is considered "unstable"? Yes it does just go away. I was using hydrakernel v1.0, yes overclocked. Just went back to HTC stock kernel.

There are 4 overclocked hydra kernels... don't give up on it till you've tried em all. One will most likely work with your ROM.

Yeap... if you are overclocking and apps are closing its because its unstable. You don't need to flash new roms or wipe data rather just either return your SetCPU to normal or find a new kernel that is stable while allowing you to overclock.
