Internet Browser closes when accessing some web pages

« on: September 12, 2010, 08:39:41 AM »

Hi all

Can't believe I'm the only one with this...

Not sure yet whether it is only the one site that causes this, but when I access some of the links on the bbc news website the phone blanks out back to Menu. Maybe a script error onteh site? Or something on the phone?

Anyone else seen this?

I can generally get to the main pages but then when clicking on the links to some stories thats when it happens.

Any thoughts?

Radford

Are you using Android 2.1 or 2.2 ?

I had a similar problem with the BBC site before I upgraded to Android 2.2 , but those were solved by updating the phone.

Radford, unfortunately u aren't the only one! I searched this forum specifically to try find someone else who's experiencing the same problem. I have only seen this happen using the BBC news and sport websites, leading me to think its got to be specific to the script being run on there. I too am on 2.2 which was pre-installed on my Desire on receipt. My girlfriend has the same phone but running on 2.1 and has no problems at all!! It's annoying as its one of regular hit websites for footy scores etc! Any advice / help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Do the pages that cause the problems have Flash on them?
If so then go to Settings and Enable plugins and change to On demand. You can then choose when to run the Flash or not.
I use the Dolphin Browser and done the same for this, I have to click to run the flash animation.

Let us know if this fixes the problem.

If Flash was not the problem then can you post a specific page that causes a problem?

Hi All,
After my Desire 2.2 Android O2 update, on BBC football web sites , my phone now reverts upon loading to my home screen Menu.
I have found that this is because on the web site there is a video trying to load. If you go to Internet Settings and uncheck Enable Java Script the site will then load, the video won't play, though with notice saying Enable Java Script appears- which of course you can't even view the page if it is enabled!
Downside is that with Java Script disabled, this BBC football website loads up, but Sky Football web sites then don't and revert to my home screen Menu upon loading. Seems we can't have it both ways until O2 or BBC sort the problem out.
Have told O2 but doubt they will do very much about it.

Like I posted elsewhere on this forum, it is a site-specific problem. If so, please tell the webmasters there to do something about it.

On the other hand, try to use another browser, like Dolphin or Opera

Never had it with 2.1 on the Desire, now I've upgraded to 2.2 it happens a lot on the bbc news site
