Massive Windows Phone Tango IE Bug?

Hi guys,

i think my girl found a massive tango bug and for those people without changeable battery its VERY anoying, so beware to reproduce this with your device if you dont have a changeable battery!

The problem is, the complete UI hang up...you cant do anything after you follow these steps:
- open internet explorer
- go to settings and set it to desktopversion
- browse to www.bild.de (a very popular "news" site/paper in germany)
- scroll a bit over the site
now there are 2 possibilities

first one
- all pictures start to show
- scroll around
- when it hangs, just wait a bit and it will hang completly up

second one
- some picture do not show up
- go to "news" section and open one news (you have to wait, it does not react instantly)
- just let the news load a bit and go back through "back" button of your device to www.bild.de
- let it load and scroll a bit around and the ie will hung up...
If you are fast enough you can "rescue" your device by fast clicking the windows button, the ie crashes and your device is still on the run and you can rerun the ie...all is fine (if you dont browse to this site again, whats not the worst idea but maybe some other sites are affected, too)

Interestingly not the whole system crashes because its still booked in the mobile network, wifi (you can call the number and it will ring on your side, but the hanging system shows or do nothing on incoming call, you can ping the device and so on) and the "display timeouts" work probably...

First i thought the lumia 800 of my girl is just defective but i can reproduce this on my omnia 7, both are on tango (7.10.8773.98) and both had never this problem under any mango release. I found no way instead of using "mobile" site to prevent this problem.

Anyone aware of this bug or can confirm this?

Greetings


Update:
Lumias with build in battery (lumia 800/900) can be resettet by pressing volume, power und camera buttons for ~10 secs, thanks surur for this hint

samsung and htc devices just need 10 sek press on the power button

wpcentral reproduced the crash with the focus 2

nothing wrong on my Radar running Tango 8779

edit: well, it hangs on my second try LOL. FYI, u can reset your non-removable battery device by holding down the power button for 10 secs

looks like you got my initial post, which I modified. I can now reproduce your problem. I would not want to go back to Mango just because of Bild.de. but maybe there are other sites that have this problem. Certainly MS should hear about this.

for me go back for bild.de is no option (i even dont read it ) and for my girl theres an bild.de app in the market but thats the point, maybe there are other sites which produce the same problem or it is exploitable...

posted same problem on answers @ microsoft but the mvp who responded cant reproduce this with lumia 900...

posted same problem on answers but with no response (ok its not realy long time ago i posted) or should i report it to another place at microsoft?

I just went ahead and reported your post to WPCentral to look into this. Also posted it on their Forum under OS. If there are enough people that can reproduce this and it's posted on a major news site it will get MS' attention for sure. I suggest you post it at the WPCentral forum as well.

tell the mvp at MS that it takes some time to reproduce it. I could not at first just like barclays. regular browsing habits may not even trigger this. I believe the entire site has to be shown and one has to zoom in and out and scroll around enough. Eventually it will crash.

These kinda things happen when we become impatient and refuse to wait for our carriers and OEMS to push out the updates.

Both devices got the update through zune officialy (without cabletrick)

ok for the omnia, there was some impatient, i flashed an official samsung rtm (7004) rom and zune updated it to tango.
On the lumia there was no impatient cause the update showed up instantly (unbranded lumia)
