SOLVED - Browserd running constantly

Now this has been puzzling me for about 5 days. Browserd was running constantly at about 20 - 40% even after a reboot and not using the browser.This was really slowing the phone down and making it generally sluggish.
I tried killing Browserd over and over but it kept coming back. I had enough time tonight to pinpoint the very unlikely culprit.
FCAM
Not that I think back it all started the other day when I updated FCAM drivers OTA.
Just thought I would share this with you, Has anyone else experienced this? If so I will file a bug. If not I am going to examine my system see if there is a conflict anywhere.

Re: SOLVED - Browserd running constantly

ohm.
-browserd is just preloaded browser component so that it starts up quickly
- it should not take constantly cpu
- try clearing cache from browser and restarting browser and browserd after it
- if still cpu high then try to delete .mozilla directory

btw. why you are so sure that its fcam? you uninstalled it and browserd went back to idle?

Re: SOLVED - Browserd running constantly

Yeah I went through the whole usual processes. Cleared cache and deleted .mozilla. Then systematically uninstalled programmes that I had added or updated within the past week. In between each I killed Browserd and rebooted. Still kept coming back till I got to FCAM.
Like I said a very unlikely source of the problem and Im still a bit stumpt as to what happened.
My next step is to reinstall FCAM and see if problem comes back.

Re: SOLVED - Browserd running constantly

I uninstalled Fcam drivers but still "browserd -s 1911 -n RTComMessagingServer" takes 20% CPU and 6.6% Mem

Any advice how to track down what causing it?
Titans kernel and OC applied.

It's not SOLVED for me :confused:

Re: SOLVED - Browserd running constantly

Have you got Browser Switchboard installed?
What is the output of these commands when the browser is open and run again when the browser is closed.

Code:

pidof browser

Then

Code:

ps|grep browser

Post the output here.

Re: SOLVED - Browserd running constantly

Browser Switchboard is not installed.
Fennec 1.1 is and working version of adblock plus (1.1.1) in microb additionally Shake-N-Surf disabled (not able to uninstall)

/home/user #

EDIT: When starting device from shutdown 3 min + and rtcom-messaging starts and then
"/usr/sbin/browserd -s 1812 -n RTComMessagingServer" starts eating CPU and memory.

Re: SOLVED - Browserd running constantly

Problem solved for me also.
Problem was caused for me Shake-N-Surf MicroB add-on from OVI shop.
After install I find it unusable for me. With Fast Application Manager I was unable to uninstall it. But after uninstall with default application manager and restart problem vanished.

I reinstalled fcam and still no problems with browserd anymore :)
