Yesterday at 0h, began Brazilian Summer Time , a practice that consists in advancing the clock by one hour in some regions of Brazil and has the effect of energy saving. This is great! Now one thing we could never imagine is that the summer time might lead to bizarre bug in the operating system Android , the Google . The Chrome browser , also the Giant of searches, just hangs after a few seconds open. You can close the application and open it again it will crash again. And you can test as many times as you want.
problem arose, in fact, in Chile, a week ago. But gained more notoriety yesterday, entering into force of the Brazilian summer time. A lot of people complaining on Twitter and help forums on the internet. Google, however, is already fully aware of the problem and even has spoken about:
“ We have determined that a bug in Android caused it. A solution to solve this incident in Chrome is in progress and will be included in the next beta version of Chrome. We confirmed that, unlike Chile, the problem of DST affects Android 4.3. We will have a solution as quickly as possible and failures should stop tomorrow (21/10). We apologize for the inconvenience . ‘
A corrective patch is promised for today, according to the company statement. But for the first beta version of the browser. If you’re in the final version installed, will have to wait a little longer. But there are other solutions that are easy to implement.
The first is by changing the time zone for your mobile. You can change to Time of Uruguay (Montevideo) or even to zone GMT-2 and GMT-3 , schedules of Georgia South and Buenos Aires, respectively. They are all compatible with our summer time and do not trigger the odd bug in Android. You must clear, also, the options “ Automatic date & time ” and “ Time zone automatic “. To do this, simply go to “Settings ” and then “ date and time . ‘
Another way out is to reinstall the version of Chrome that came standard with Android. For this is quite simple. Just open the “ All applications “, hold the icon until the Chrome Box “ App Information “. Then drag the icon there and select “Uninstall updates ” and all ready, everything will be solved. Take care not to install new updates while browsing, because the browser will suggest it. Ideally uncheck automatic updates of Google Play.
A third alternative, even easier, is to use another browser until Google releases a fix for everyone. You can use both Firefox and Opera, which are great browsers. Importantly, this bug affected the Android 4.3 JellyBean. You went through this problem? Tell us your experience in the comments.
