E71x - web browser crashing

I've had a Nokia E71x for about 2 years now, and I really and truly love this phone. However, about a week or so ago, the web browser started crashing on me. I will try to get it to load, it will start connecting, and shortly after establishing a connection, it just closes. 
I've browsed both this forum and the rest of the internet regarding this issue - for this particular phone. I've seen posts by other people in other forums, with no response. I'm really hoping I can get some kind of resolution here. And I do not consider getting a new phone resolution - that's not what I am looking to do. The phone itself works perfectly fine. I just cannot go on the internet at all. 
Any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you.

not sure if this will still be helpful to anyone, but I just managed to "fix" these weird symptoms on my wife's year-old E71x by doing this:
- Check all settings, all fine/unchanged from working, none make a difference. Ovi Store DOES WORK to browse and download apps, so we know it's neither the operator or Wi-Fi network connections.
- Call ATT tech support, who send a new activation code to the phone, no change (except shutting off the phone and disconnecting the call ;-)
- Call ATT tech support again and get a transfer to a higher-level tech, who says we should try switching SIM cards to be sure that the card is not the problem, and they will call us back after their next call to see how this process goes.
- Run the suggested test w/ other SIM cards; no effect. E71x still will not connect to Google, Facebook, etc. via the "Media Net" default browser, but Ovi Store still works fine over both Wi-Fi and 3G.
- Put SIM cards back in correct phones and test again; no difference (my Pantech works, E71x no web browsing).
*********** and the steps that actually seemed to work ***************
- From the main screen, press "Menu" button or softkey
- Press "Options" softkey from the Menu
- Select "Download applications" from the Options menu. This should open a browser window to a site that doesn't look to be fully operational anymore.
- If they browser doesn't kick you out at this point, press the "Options" softkey and select either "Go to web address" or "Bookmarks" to open a useful web page.
I don't think it should hurt to just try this first. Sorry for including all the other troubleshooting steps we had to try before this, but if this solution doesn't work then the others are probably worth trying too. Saved me having to backup, and restore everything on the phone anyway.
I hope this helps someone; this was a strange and frustrating problem because it came out of nowhere, the phone worked and then it didn't, with no obvious change other than browsing various web pages. I suspect something in a page cache or something redirecting to a bad loop, but I don't know how to troubleshoot any further into that - and as long as it works, I guess I don't have to this time.

  • Web Browser Crashes

    Everytime I visit the 2-step verification website for Google, the web browser crashes. I have firmware 300.21.012. Could you help me?

  • After installing Adobe After Effects CC the web browser crashes

    Hi,
    I don't know where to turn with this so I'm trying as many possibilities as I can think of:
    I installed After Effects CC on my PC. I then noticed that a web page that I created incorporating a virtual tour stopped functioning properly. It doesn't matter which computer I access it from. I haven't done anything to this web page but it has just stopped working properly after I installed After Effects CC. If I use Chrome a Shockwave Flash has Crashed message appears:
    I've tried creating a similar page but the same problem occurs:
    I've checked Chrome using the phrase   about:plugins  and tried disabling one of the two Adobe Flash Player plugins to no effect
    I've contacted my internet service provider and they have assured me the problem is not connected to using their service
    I have contacted the company which provided the virtual tour software and sent them a copy of the file that I included in the web page. There has never been any problem with the web page before
    I also tried uninstalling and downloading a more up to date version of the Panotour Tourweaver software but still the same problem occurs.
    I've tried recreating the page but the browser (IE, Firefox and Chrome) crashes on whichever computer I'm accessing the webpage from
    So I wondered if the problem is connected the creative cloud?
    No matter what computer I use the browser crashes when I click on a button within the webpage (which normally opens another webpage that I created). I haven't touched any of this and it has always worked perfectly. The only thing I've done recently is to download the Adobe After Effects CC app and then the problem occurred.
    Any constructive advice would be appreciated, thanks

    Update - I've now tested this with different internet connections, different computers and different operating systems. I've also just received a response from my internet service provider who said:
    "I've tested in Firefox, and it looks as if the buttons are crashing the browsers' flash plugin. This being the case, it is not going to be anything related to your computer, the internet connection, or the web server. 
    In all likelihood, it will be an issue with how the flash tour is coded, which I presume is created automatically by the Tourweaver package you mention. You will need to pursue their support for advice on this problem as it is something with the flash file)s( which isn't working correctly."
    So, hopefully Easypano support will be able to fix the problem. Obviously no connection at all with Adobe After Effects

  • HT1338 Web browser crash and freeze

    Every time I use the web browser no matter Safari or Mozilla Firefox, it always crash and stop responding that I have to force quit. This happens since the very first day that I've used this Macbook Pro. I've just bought it for less than 2 months. Some videos such as Mac basics on the Apple.com website can't be played. I've went to the iStudio and have it checked and they said they've done a reset and this might help, but when I came back home and start using the web browser, the same problem occurs. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do to fix this problem? Thank you

    Contact  Apple's Express Lane. Your machine has unlimited support for the first 90 days.

  • E5-00 web browser crashed

    from the last 2 weeks I been having problems with the web browser, I tried to open a page and then the program shutdown itself. I have already check several pages and it's the same problem. I have already made a soft reset.

    Hi Oralia,
    Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
    You could try to hard reset your phone. This will remove all data off your phone, so it's advisable to first back up your phone using Nokia Suite. To hard reset your phone, dial *#7370# followed by your security code (the default security code is 12345, unless you have changed it). After the reset, restore your backup, but remember to untick settings in the restore prompt.  
    If the issue persists, update or reinstall your phone software using Nokia Suite (just select Tools > Software update). 
    Let us know if this helps!

  • Nokia 6120c WEB Browser crashing when trying to di...

    I tryed to acces the following site: www.erepublik.com which has flash content. The browser loads a part of the site and then exits ( crashes ) without warning. I tryed to install another browser from http://www.skyfire.com/ but this one crashes without loading any site: it asks me which connection to use and then it displays a "connecting..." message after which it crashes ( after about 30 sec ). I have updated my firmware to the latest version ( 6.01 ) and reseted to factory settings but no luck. I continue to have the same problem. Any solution ? It's very annoying.
    Thank you !

    It works on my firefox and XP. Maybe the site is trying to download something, or one of your software extensions is interfering.
    # try clearing your browser cache and the website cookies
    # if problems continue try in Firefox's [[safe mode]]
    #* do not make changes in the first window, just click on continue
    #* use only the default theme
    # still having problems, then in safe mode also disable plugins

    ...and this isn't an intentional attempt to see if you can make it crash?
    Maybe your Quad Core G5 with 4GB of RAM can support that many browser sessions and other tasks simultaneously, but to expect a little handheld device to do it? That's a lot to expect from some older desktops.
    The fact that it quits and goes to the home screen doesn't sound like a "crash" either. It sounds more like a "safe mode" to conserve resources.
    Give it a break.

  • Nokia N80 Web Browser: "Web already in use"?

    Just got my nokia N80, connected to my WLAN perfectly, I managed to have a couple of hours browsing the internet using the Web browser found under "My Own", I wanted to see if msn Web Messenger would work, after the login the web browser crashes.
    Now if i try and get back onto the Web Browser I get a message saying "Web already in use", I've restarted the phone, I've even taken the battery out and restarted but this message still appears, I've googled and searched these forums but I can't seem to find any info on this, does anybody know what the problem is, and why the browser seems to crash on certain pages?

    My new E61 was working fine but today when I tried to access the Internet I got a "Web: Already in Use" notice and could not access it. I had to hard reformat of the phone (thanks to T-Mobile tech support)and reinstall all of my email and internet settings. I have read on several user forums that this problem has occurred with some regularity. Obviously I do not want to reformat the phone all the time. Are there any other solutions? One user said they brought the phone into a local Nokia store for a software flash but did not say if it worked. Since I am in US, there is no local store to bring it to. Does have any ideas on how to solve this issue? Shouldn't Nokia be saying or doing something?

  • "safari web browser has stopped working" ... help?

    So a number of months ago (5, I believe) Safari Web Browser crashed and I tried opening it and a message popped up that said:
    +Microsoft Windows:+
    +Safari Web Browser has stopped working+
    +A problem caused the problem to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.+
    Now up until the crash, I was extremely satisfied with Safari and it was my default internet browser. After I kept seeing this message when trying to start Safari, I decided to uninstall it and reinstall it, then tried repairing it several times. It kept showing the same message for a while so I decided to give up for a few months, so I tried again and the same thing happened. Once again I gave up and today I tried again when I updated my iTunes and that same message popped up and Safari didn't work.
    So I decided to post here to see if someone can help me figure out and fix the problem since I prefer that browser to most and never had any problems with it until I froze it and it crashed that number of months ago.
    Thanks and your help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I'm afraid I'm not familiar with Vista, but in XP the Safari preferences etc. are stored in this location:
    C:\Documents and Settings\YourUsername\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari\
    If you know where the equivalent Vista location is, rename the Safari directory to be Safari_backup and then retry launching the application to see if one of the files in there is corrupt and causing Safari to crash.
    If it does work after doing that, try moving the files one by one back from the Safari_backup directory to the newly created Safari directory, restarting Safari each time, until you find the problematic one.

    My 5700 really is a "energy eater", if receiving or making calls even SMS can straight remain the battery bar to 3 bars only 1.5 hour, but why playing music can still survive until 9~10 hours?
    Before own 5700, I use Nokia 6288, I found that receiving/making voice/video calls can talk up to 3 hours non-stop but still remained half bar.
    Dude, dont heat it up.
    It is under forum rules that you should put one thread in one proper place .
    I answered your 2,7,12 number sections in phones.
    Someone put your answers in this section.
    Another one will put your other answers in nseries section, is it fair?
    Is it comfortable for you or for all either?
    Anyway, dont get angry,what is done is done.
    Number 9 also occured to my phone.
    I guess phone stability and also the application's stability here mess with other.
    Dont forget to install always the latest version of Y-Browser.

  • 5230 web browser closes automatically when I try a...

    Like the title says, my 5230's web browser crashes whenever I try and load a forum thread, I was able to do this a while ago and I've not run out of data or anything, there are no music files, no photos, no apps on the phone. I have reset the settings to factory but nothing has helped.
    I'm starting to get fed up of this phone, it has good navigation properties but that is just about the only thing it has going for it now....
    Can anyone help? The phone is still under contract

     Have you tried Opera Mini or Opera Mobile browsers? Go to m.opera.com on your phone to download the latest version of either or both. Mini is optimised for 3G browsing whilst Mobile is best for Wi-Fi.

    What problem did you have? It's working for me.
    After reformatting for the 3rd time when I was on 21.024 and then ensuring I was very careful what I installed, I hadn't come across many bugs. On 031.023 it so far seems about the same, except it seems slightly sluggish on some menus now.
    Differences between 21.024 and 31.023 I've noticed:
    I now get the delay updating the display when pressing keys fast.
    New apps: Ovi Sync, Advanced Communication Manager, Smart Connect & Monopoloy Deal.
    Updated Adobe Reader app (seems to need registration now to view PDFs ).
    Internet Radio has now been added to the radio app.
    Issues:
    Smart Connect doesn't work
    Email client still does not support Destinations except in MfE (probably why they bundled Smart Connect).
    Cannot uninstall the new apps they've bundled, so they're embedded in the firmware and probably can't be updated outside of firmware.
    Email button now takes me to my Google Mail account instead of the mail summary page as before. Perhaps it's going to the first defined account, but it's not the account I want to jump to and can't see how to change what the button does.

  • I use Outlook for my email on the Safari web browser, and about 90% of the time when I want to attach a pdf or jpg file the email message will crash.

    I use Outlook for my email on the Safari web browser, and about 90% of the time when I want to attach a pdf or jpg file it fails and about 50% of the time when I want to send a standard text massage it will also fail and the email massage crashes. The only way I can get my Outlook to work is if I switch to Firefox web browser. I would rather not switch to a new web browser if I don't have to.
    It seems like what ever the problem is that its related the Safari web browser, because it works fine on the Firefox web browser.
    I think its some kind of plug-in failure because it giving me a LOC ERROR:
    LOC ERROR: Unable to locate localized string for resource ID 5007.
    How can I fix this Plug-in?
    And, yes my softwer is conpletly updated…

    That's an Outlook issue. You'll probably get better responses posting on the Office for Mac forums.

  • [S] Latest Xorg crashes on dual head system when web browser is opened

    Due to the long Subject line I abbreviated, the issue is solved but I would still like it if someone could answer my question if someone knows why
    After updating Xorg and the Radeon drivers on my dual head system opening any kind of web browser causes Xorg to crash.  Any other application: Dolphin, Kopete, Amarok, urxvt open and run just fine with no issues from Xorg (which is baffling me).  I have a bunch of single head systems that use ATI video cards that don't have this issue, like the one I am currently on that has Chrome open with four tabs.
    I caused a couple of these crashes and grabbed /var/log/Xorg.0.log, can be viewed from here http://sprunge.us/bNZC, as well as grabbed my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf file, which is here http://sprunge.us/gbNW.  SLiMs log file has a little bit more in it as far as errors go, http://sprunge.us/UjVK, mostly how it is trying to load VDPAU which if I remember correctly that is a Nvidia thing is it not?  There are also errors how it can't load the RANDR extension.  Anyone have any helpful pointers of solving this? 
    Package details:
    xorg-server: 1.12.0-1
    xorg-xinit: 1.3.2
    xorg-utils: 7.6-8
    xorg-server-utils: 7.6-3

    It seams that my 10-monitor.conf file was causing the issue, why I am not sure... and it would be nice to know what the problem with it was, but after moving that file out of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory and restarting X11 and using xrandr to get my screens setup the way I like them to be X11 no longer crashes when a web browser is opened.  I wonder if this will also solve my issue of Awesome randomly crashing after long periods of inactivity...
