hey
im having a problem with trying to access the browser on my n810, was working fine up until the other day when it crashed while i was briowsing the web, now everytime i try to open the browser it just opens and says 'updating' in the top right corner. that stays there for around 4 mins then the browser just closes.
i can still use the pidgin messenger and internet radio etc so im still connected its just the browser thats the problem?? i'm not over knowledgable with these linux based system so i havent done anything to ruin it ( that i know of lol ) and havent changed any settings or installed any new applications
ive tried to find answers to this problem but cant seem to get anything anywhere
hope someone can help
cheers

I don't know how to fix your problem specifically. But you know about flashing the device, yes? Or you could try installing the tear browser and using just that.

That happens because the browserd process has died.
Two possible fixes:
1 Easy: reboot the tablet
2 No so easy but not hard: open a xterm, become root, restart the browserd process with the command "/etc/init.d/tablet-browser-daemon start"
You can always check that the process is running by typing
ps ax|grep browserd

Turn off your N810 then back on.

I have this problem too and the best way I've found is to restart the browser daemon.

1. Install rootsh (http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/rootsh/)
2. open xterm
3. copy paste this script

Code:
sudo gainroot
/etc/init.d/tablet-browser-daemon stop
/etc/init.d/tablet-browser-daemon start
#
#
if that fails
reflash
