Android browser opens and immediately closes, takes multiple tries to open a page
-
I have android 12 on a realme GT 2 neo and Vivaldi browser doesn't open web pages from external sources on the first try, and it doesn't start on the first click of the icon.
When I try to start the application, I click on the app icon, the screen goes white while the application is loading, but after a few milliseconds the screen returns to my previous state (Vivaldi closes automatically). I have to click or 3-5 times for the application to actually start.
This happens for links I get from external sources as well. I get a link on WhatsApp for except, click to open it, the application switches from WhatsApp to Vivaldi, a few milliseconds later the application switches back to WhatsApp. If I click on the link ~5 times then Vivaldi finally opens and also opens the link.
Once Vivaldi is started I can use it normally.

Same here. Pixel 3a on 12. I've switched over to the snapshots - so far, so good.
I have sync logged in and switched on - I wonder if that has anything to do with it. Do you use sync?
-
Nope. Still crashing.
-
I tracked it down to the Sync feature. If I don't log into my Vivaldi account then there is no crash at startup. But if I do log into Sync then it'll crash every time on subsequent app startups.

OK, thank you
Maybe it's an individual problem. -

If you have the same issue with sync you can try to delete the remote data on a working device, desktop or other mobile.
Start sync on the working device.
All other devices are logged out automatically, you have to re login and start sync again.
May it help to cleanup the "broken" device.Cheers, mib

Thanks for the tip.
I no longer have this problem, for me it was/is due to over 220 open tabs, but the snapshot is now doing well, test.
I have only followed it here.
I hadn't filed the bug report. -
@frithrah
I hope you know that there is a place here in the forum where you can ask about the status of a bug report.
But please only ask there, please do not discuss.
Please do this in the old thread, or open a new one.
The volunteer helpers have set it up so that, if possible, they can see the V... numbers.
Thank youhttps://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/27450/what-is-the-status-of-vb-already-reported-bug-issue/1681

Yes, I use sync too.I still have it happen from time to time even with the latest version of the app, currently 5.5.2807.39

Thank you @mib2berlin and @ingolftopf.
An update on the crash. I reset everything and Vivaldi ran well as expected. I turned the Sync on for Reading List and Bookmarks and it was okay for a few days. Then I added something to the Reading List and got the crash very soon after. Now, as before, every time I open Vivaldi, it crashes after a second or so. This is with the latest Snapshot 2855.3 on Android 12.
So I've got a reproducible crash here right now. How can I get a crash report log over to the team? I'm happy to share any details to help fix this.

It seems to be more complicated.
But "keep your eye on the ball". -

My issue has been fixed by VAB-6920 in the latest Snapshot! I had worked out the exact steps to reproduce a couple of days ago and was about to report again when the fix was issued. Thanks everyone.
