Kindle Freezes When Browser is Opened

Glorfindel · 09-25-2014, 11:24 AM

I thought that the USBNetwork being enabled did this, but it's something else.
If I reboot it, it (K4) freezes upon selecting 'launch browser' and nothing will do anything until I hard reboot, which starts the sequence all over again. To fix I launch Duokan, enable wifi, and switch to kindle. As soon as I do so the browser works

This seems independent of USBNet.

Great info.
First I have read about Doukan causing that sort of problem.

Not sure if it is Duokan is causing it or not

Glorfindel · 09-25-2014, 03:03 PM

UPDATE: Doesn't matter if I connect to wifi, just as long as I boot Duokan first.

Maybe I should try uninstalling it

I have the same problem, the browser freezes when I launch it and I have to hard-reboot.
I have Duokan too, maybe that's the cause of the problem?

Probably, I think I will uninstall. Need the disk space

Glorfindel · 10-11-2014, 09:18 AM

Fixed it so far as I can tell.

No problems since I uninstalled Duokan. It's officially the problem
