Tabs Missing On Tab4

[deke40]

Occasionally my Home, Bookmark and More tabs go missing and I have to reboot to get them back.

What is causing this?

Are you talking about a browser?

 

[deke40]

The native browser on my Galaxy Tab4 10.1.

Is the native browser Chrome or the "Internet" browser from Samsung? When you say "tabs," are you talking about browser tabs, buttons, or menu options?

 

[deke40]

This is the best I can explain it..

 

[B. Diddy]

Ok, and is the name under the browser icon listed as Chrome, Internet, or Browser?

 

[deke40]

This is getting tedious for you and me both. I figured all Galaxy Tab4 10.1s came with the Samsung Internet Browser.

One thing I did just did when the three buttons disappeared was click on the address bar trying to
get them back and my "Quick Access" page came up and I clicked on one of the links and the page
opened and the three buttons were back. Not a fix but better than rebooting. Now if I can duplicate
the disapearence I can see if that was a fluke or not.

Should have worded my post as I did on this thread from 12-16 on Techguy.

Sorry about that. The reason why I'm asking is that I saw a Verizon help page for the Tab 4 that discussed using Chrome, and some Samsung devices come with Chrome as the only default browser.

Have you tried going to the App Manager, selecting Internet, and Clearing Cache?

Does anything happen if you long-press the URL box when it expands to take up the whole space? Just wondering if it might allow you to minimize/maximize.

I clear my entire cache under storage real regular. I did press on the address and it took me to my Quick Access page.

It might be worth Clearing Data from the Internet browser as well in the App Manager. This will erase your bookmarks, though, so make sure you back them up beforehand.

Sorry, but I wish I had a device with that version of the Samsung browser to test out myself.
