Hi there! I understand you’re having trouble with the Salem News Channel website crashing when you try to add it to your Samsung S8 home screen. Let’s get this sorted out.
First, just to clarify, when you say the site “crashes,” do you mean the browser closes unexpectedly, or does the phone freeze or restart? Also, are you using the Chrome browser or Samsung Internet browser when trying to add the site to the home screen?
Meanwhile, here are some initial steps we can try to resolve the issue on your Galaxy S8 running Android 10:
1. Restart your phone: This can clear temporary glitches that might cause crashes.
2. Clear browser cache and data: If you’re using Chrome, go to Settings > Apps > Chrome > Storage > Clear Cache (and if needed, Clear Data). This refreshes the browser without affecting bookmarks.
3. Update Browser and OS: Ensure your browser (Chrome or Samsung Internet) and your S8’s Android software are up to date.
4. Try a different browser: If Chrome is crashing, try Samsung Internet or vice versa to see if the problem persists.
5. Add the site as a shortcut properly: - Open the site in your browser. - Tap the menu (three dots) and select “Add to Home screen.” - Follow prompts to add the shortcut.
If after these steps the crash continues, it might be related to how the website’s app-like feature (called a Progressive Web App or PWA) interacts with your specific device or OS version.
Let me know if you’ve already tried any of these or what happens after trying them, and we can dive deeper!
