I updated to 4.3 on my SCH-I535 on Saturday. After the update, I had some minor issues but the major one was that I couldn't access my clipboard. Every time I tried, my phone would reboot. So after a lot of grief, I decided to do a factory reset. All went well with the reset and it fixed my issues from prior to the reset.
After the reset, I have a new issue. My stock browser doesn't work properly. I open the browser, but then I can't do anything else; can't click links, reload the page, use back button, soft keys on my phone don't function, can't minimize page or access my bookmarks. My only fix is hitting my "home" key then holding it down and selecting "remove from list" in the menu. Occasionally when this happens I get the dialog box that pops up saying "unfortunately your internet browser has stopped working" (or something to that effect). The only way I can access a different webpage other than my home page is to click a link. Fortunately, I saved all my bookmarks in my google mail so I can load that and access that page, but only that page as it becomes unresponsive.
I have cleared my cache, history, & cookies as well as rebooted my phone multiple times including several battery pulls
Is there a fix for this? I didn't have this problem before the factory reset and I really don't want to do it again as it took me 2 days to get my phone back to what I had before with apps, contacts, personalizing/organizing everything. It's just a pain having no browser. I don't think it's a memory problem as everything else works well (facebook, games, email, messaging all running at the same time)
