So far I have seen problems with the following sites:

wikipedia.org
nytimes.com
netflix.com
delta.com


For wikipedia I have never been able to load it, direct, thru google, going to en.wikipedia.org, etc.

For nytimes I can go to it direct but not thru the Sprint homepage or google.

Netflix crashed mine as well when I tried it direct but worked thru google.

Delta.com crashed from a direct attempt and google says it cannot reformat the page.

Does anyone else have different results when accessing these sites? Are there other sites you have issues with?

I have done the sticky to boost the internet speed (http://www.instinct-samsung.com/index.php/topic,1742.0.html) and have changed my home agent (http://www.instinct-samsung.com/index.php/topic,2076.0.html). I did not try these sites before doing this tho so I'm not sure if it had an effect. Also I have not done the browser crash fix (http://www.instinct-samsung.com/index.php/topic,2809.0.html).

Maybe if we can get a list going we can see a trend to get it fixed for good!

Have you guys done any of the internet speed tricks from my original post? I am just wondering if those tricks have some sort of effect on this.

My list of web page crashes is way to long to list.  I think it would be better to look at what it is about the pages that is causing the browser to crash.  I have a sneaking suspicion that it is flash objects, but haven't been able to verify this.  Any other opinions?

I dont think there is any flash on wikipedia... even the simple.wikipedia.org crashes my browser.

Just tried Delta.com and mine crashed as well. Its not like these are all obscure or complicated websites, they are all popular sites and even simple pages. But its interesting how sometimes google can fix the problem. I am wondering if its not some sort of cookie or permissions thing that the website tries to acquire.

Wait I got it, any website with the letter "e" in the url crashes our browser Wink, lol.

If you reset your phone all these sites will work but you loose all your ringtones and suck everything that is not on the memory card. on another thread it explains why this happens it sucks but i have been doing the ##RTN# and doing a master reset of the phone about once a week and the browser works fine and is actually not that bad but after a week it starts again. I guess the phone just dumps some java codes that are part of the browser for no reason.
after I reset it I can log onto my web version of gmail so I can see the pics and even log into my regions bank account.

I get crashing even with the hacks disabled, so I'm fairly positive it has nothing to do with it

xbox360.ign.com, crashing my phone also.

mezzoblue.com did on my old instinct (I got a new one because the first one kept screwing up)

Same here for netflix....

As far as nytimes.com, it always crashes the browser, no matter where I try to get there from. Except once this morning right after I did the pocket express update it worked, but only to load the home page, as soon as I tried to navigate within the site, it crashed again!

wikipedia works fine, delta crashes no matter what.
