Hi Howard, I'm sorry I did not come back to this thread to update what I have found out since the issue began.
Not sure what else to try but it's driving me crazy. Sometimes Chrome will open up to it's own home page after one of these tries but then the next time I open it, the problem is back. Force stopped chrome and restarted.Ĭleared cache and data on Chrome settings, cleared history. I have factory reset the phone and the issue persists. Just to be sure, I have uninstalled every app I can see except the system ones that I can't uninstall and still the issue persists. I have no strange apps installed that I know of. I can close it and go where I want but the next time I open Chrome it usually does it again. There will now be an X at the top right on each one to close it. Sometimes it shows all of these are open. I can close these if I tap on the number in a box at the top of the page that says how many tabs I have open. A few of them are '51.jake game' and '11.mosegame' and 'gamebox.zbkon' Whenever I open Chrome instead of going to Chrome home page it redirects to some sort of scammy looking game site. This new phone has something wrong with Chrome. I have a cheap ANS UL40 android phone from assurance wireless.
