Vivaldi version Android 6.6.3291.89
Happening since yesterday.
OS Android 12
Device Samsung 51 -
@nowabhijit
Does the browser crash when you just go to Settings > Search Engine > Standard Tab or Private Tab and pick a new search engine?
If not, please share more detailed steps for us to try and reproduce the crash. -
@jane-n it does crash for me when trying to change the default private search engine.
-
@Aashishkebab Does this happen on the latest version of Vivaldi on Android? If you're not sure, please check whether there are updates available in the Play Store.
-
@jane-n Yes, it does.
-
We fixed this crash about a month ago.
It's odd that you still see it.
Could you file a bug report on https://vivaldi.com/bugreport/ from the device it's happening on, so we could look into it some more. -
@jane-n - I recently came across this issue, when I had to reinstall Vivaldi (6.9.3451.58) on Android.
In my case, it seemed to have been caused by deleting a number of default search engines in Vivaldi for Windows, which after syncing to Android, seemed to trigger this problem on my phone.
After I'd restored the default search engines in Windows, and synced these changes to Vivaldi for Android (after another fresh install), I could once again access the search options for standard and private tabs.

How has this not been fixed?
-
@Aashishkebab Did you file the bug report? Please share the ticket number (VAB-#####).
I tried recreating @pbwoody79's use case, but could not reproduce the crash.
-
@jane-n you want me to file a separate bug report even though this one already exists?
And the comment above states how to reproduce it.

@Aashishkebab
Hi, a forum post is not a bug report, it is to verify other user can reproduce it.
Jane ask @pbwoody79 to report it but it seems he never does.
I cant reproduce it either on:
Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite
MIUI 13
Android 12
6.9.3451.107 StableFor information on how to report a bug, see this URL: https://help.vivaldi.com/article/report-a-bug-in-vivaldi-android/
Add your Vivldi username, please.
Once that is done, please share the bug number (beginning with VAB-).
On the form, you can add your email address. Once submitted, you'll get a confirmation. You can reply to this with any logs or further info.Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin - Hi, in my case, I couldn't pinpoint the exact cause of this issue. I just knew it began after I deleted a whole load of search engines in Vivaldi for Windows, and needed to do a fresh installation of Vivaldi for Android.
The only thing I've been able to discern, are the steps required to fix it on my phone. As it would require me to wipe my current mobile setup, I no longer have the inclination to work out the exact steps needed to trigger this bug.
I would suggest that one of the other affected users like @Aashishkebab or the OP, who are still experiencing this problem, file a bug report

I've reported a bug. This happened to me when I first installed Vivaldi and tried searching with the default browser.
Bug number is VAB-10189
