[Q] Android 2.1 Browser crash when trying to open bookmarks

[cheena]

I use a Defy with T-Mobile US Android 2.1. Everything worked fine until I started having problems with the stock browser. It starts fine, opens my home page. But when I select Bookmarks from the menu, I get a FC message "The application Browser (process.com.android.browser) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
If I install Skyfire, I can view my bookmarks, so I guess the Bookmarks file is not corrupt.
Any ideas?

Please help, anyone? Is it file permissions problem? Is the Browser apk corrupt? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Finally found a solution. Using ADB shell, navigated to /data/data/com.android.browser and deleted all the files in that folder. All my bookmarks are gone, but at least now I can create new ones and access them.

I had the same problem.
I used a program to manage favorites, and I found one with a symbol.
I changed the name using only letters, and now everything works again.

On March 23rd, 2013, my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 began to act differently. In a few days, most of the apps would not open. I would get an error message: "The application ________ (process com.android._______) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force Close" This "crash" happened with the Browser, email, Kindle apps. I did the factory reset. Did not help. I then did the root process: Got the download target screen, opened OOdin3, selected PDA, chose Quens_P100_EF17_Rooted_PDA and it successfully "passed". It did not solve the problem. I assume I must have a corrupted OS, but that is just an educated guess.
Anyone out there got a solution? Thanks. John
