So I have Chrome and Firefox browsers installed. Recently they have started downloading a file each time I click on a link. The file gets a different name each time and is stored in my default download folder. Sometimes I get a 404 error and sometimes it takes me to the page. It appears to be happening more and more often. I have recently done a factory reset (unrelated) but the problem still happens.
The content of the file is usually the same :-

Although today it downloaded a like.php from facebook when I clicked a like button accidently.
Anybody any ideas ?
Firefox is in permanent desktop mode , Chrome is in mobile mode.
No idea. Both work fine on mine. Dud u check how much memory u have left on ur phone or u might need to clear the browser memory? Did install anything in the last few days that might could cost an issue?

A fresh install after unlocking the bootloader and it's still happening. It reminds of when I used dice player before and it used to intercept apk downloads to try and play them....
I tried with and without DROID walk and changing useragent in FF and it still does it.

i guess it s a malware from bad app u installed
Ok, after a few tests and removing the only app I've recently installed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.subatomicstudios.fieldrunners2
the error appears to have stopped. If this app is the direct cause I would be surprised, but the evidence so far indicates it was.
I'll see over the next few days I guess.

Also, try searching any image on google images and the browser goes crazy.

Thanks, I checked that, and it seems to be working fine now.
Hi,
I've been using Xscope for a couple of weeks, and really like it. Everything was working with it, including Flash, until today.
Today, when I try to access any webpages with Flash content, instead of the flash content, I get black boxes in those areas.
I've tried resetting Xscope to default, and also uninstalled it and re-installed it, but still no flash.
I also have tested with the default browser and Dolphin mini, and flash still works with those two other browsers, but I'd really like to have flash working with Xscope again.
Has anyone encountered this problem, or does any know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Jim

Hmmmmm... I just noticed the same thing.
Running stock, not rooted.
Same here, on all my browsers actually. I reinstalled the .apk and it appears to be working on stock and xcsope now. I wonder why it stopped in the first place?

Tried that. Still no good in xScope.
Reinstall Flash then you need to kill xscope in task manager or force close it in settings->applications to force it to restart.

I just did this and still no good. I'll try again.
Question here: I am new at xScope, but isn't closing xScope from the "OFF" button on its toolbar enough to shut it down and then it will restart the next time you use it?
No, you will need to close it completely as turning it off will keep the browsers caches for files like "flash" open.
When all else fails... reboot.

Well... I force closed xScope. I cleared xScope's cache. I uninstalled Flash. I reinstalled Flash. Rebooted. Still no good. I get the black box in place of Flash. Once I did get a Flash at Staple's site but later I only got the black box there too.

Okay, I've never seen that nor heard anybody else report this issue. So no ideas here, sorry. Maybe clear all data for xScope, assuming you don't have anything too important in there? You can always back up the app data in Titanium Backup first, then try that to see if it helps...
Hi,
Can you all check what Xscope version you have? I didn't note the version I originally installed, but I'm wondering if an update was somehow applied. Current version on my Gtab shows 6.37. *I tried to contact the developer, but no response, plus their forum has only spam for last couple of weeks ...
Also, I don't know if I'm imagining, but xscope seems a little slower loading pages since the same time...

Mine shows v6.21. I downloaded it from the developer's site (Trial). It did not change since I installed it about a week or so ago.

Thanks for checking... Since you're on 6.21, and it was working before, it's probably not a problem with an update ...

It looks like I am getting somewhere:
Using xScope I went to the Staples site and tapped the "Load Flash Arrow". The Flash box turned black.
I tapped the Menu soft key (which removed the tab bar at the top and the command bar at the bottom). The Flash box displayed properly.
I tapped the Menu soft key again (which brought back the Tab bar at the top and the command bar at the bottom). The Flash box turned all black.
This behavior appears to be consistent on several sites with Flash.
Wow! You're right, and it does that even with the 'on' setting.
Why would this have changed from before?
Same here. That trick at least got the news feeds working but only w xscope flash is not working at all with dolphin nor the stock browser where as it was a few days ago.
What has happened?

For me, Flash is still working with dolphin mini, miren, and the default browser. The only browser that's a problem is xscope. Have you tried re-installing Flash?

I don't know for sure since we don't know why it stopped working. Might not hurt to re-install the one linked on the Viewsonic favorites page.
Hi, I'm using Xperia TX with .197 firmware (unlocked BLoader). I noticed that after downloading images from the internet to my phone, the "album" didn't show those new images. I had to reboot the phone for them to show up. Is there any way to make the library auto-update or any magic button to update it?
:fingers-crossed: Thanks

Have you tried stopping the app, then relaunching it? I believe this will force a media rescan.(settings, apps, force stop)

thank you Baz, for reminding me of this workaround, I haven't seen this problem since my x10 days.
But it feels weird to be doing that everytime I download media from the net. It's a $500+ phone after all. Do you have this problem at all or is it just me?

I must admit I have not tried it yet, but I did notice that when I deleted a few images I had on my ext sd card they still showed up in album, perhaps it is unavoidable, otherwise media's scan would have to run constantly!?

Guys i got a problem with the browsing on the net with the xperia Z. It is so stupid that with every browser available out there on the store the phone still showes me the mobile version of the site even if the browser is set on desktop mode. I tried everything but it doesen't work so i figure there must be a problem with the phone because on my Galaxy S2 i did not have this problem. Can anyone tell me how can i solve this ?
The only browser that is kind of working is chrome but of course i don't have flash player. But hey it's great that we have HD screens and quad cores to view mobile sites, thang God that android doesen't force me to view WAP sites, would not be a surprize.

I don t want to badmouth the xperia but for me this is a very frustrating problem! And i can t find an answer! Or maybe the answer is that every xperia is diffrent and mine is a rubish.

First one go in menu it pops up this Window select request desktop site and it will reload it to the normal site or when in mobile site scroll all the way down and select desktop site in the mobile site itself looks.

Yes i know what you are saying. My question is why the sites see my phone as a phone and not as a desktop when the UA is set to desktop mode. i know that site has a desktop version. anyway i will live it like that. After some tests i saw that chrome works with desktop mode but it doesen t support flash. Thank you for the tips anyway
Yes chrome doesn't support flash as android jelly bean normally don't but u still can make flash work on some other browsers like dolphin or Firefox. Well Ur phone primarily sent information online that makes sites see it as a mobile device. But u can make it switch to normal browser.

There are a few ways to get around this issue.
If you use chrome then you can install a file in the data/local directory that will change the user agent of chrome permanently. Just Google running chrome for android in permanent desktop mode, don't forget to set permissions and remove .txt from the file.
Your second option is to use Firefox and add a new string to override useragent in the about:config menu. Again Google using Firefox for android in permanent desktop mode.
Then relax. Restart your phone and try out your browser. You no longer need to have to tick desktop mode, it's done automatically.

Does it stay permanently in desktop mode and does it always work in desktop mode?

Stays in desktop mode. Most sites have it so you can change it to desktop version at the very bottom anyway.
If it changes when you update. Real easy to change back. Try it. Free
Sent from my Zzzz
I understand you. But there are quite a few sites that don't have the switch at the bottom. There are others then that do still detect a mobile browser even on ticked desktop mode. The way I have it done its permanent desktop always.
It's having to keep switching to desktop mode all the time gets annoying.

Hello, I have this strange problem that just appeared a few weeks ago. I can't see any pictures in 2 apps that I use frequently - eBay and Mobile.de. In eBay for example when I search for something I do see its image but when I click on it - no pictures at all. Although it shows me that there are let's say 4 or 5 pictures and I can scroll through them but they won't load.
Mobile.de is not showing any pictures at all no matter what I do. Strange is that the problem appeared on both of them at the same time. I believe it has something to do with my phone as I have no issues opening those 2 apps on my tablet and they work fine. Another thing that I see is with one specific web site - tomshardware.com. For some reason it loads in Chrome in some compatibility mode - text and links only. No background and no pictures. Other sites are loading ok.
What's my setup and what I've tried so far:
Xperia V, root stock 4.3 (9.2.A.2.5). Removed the mentioned apps (and Chrome as well), restarted the phone, cleared the cache partition and installed the apps again. I have an AdFree app so I also uninstalled it. Nothing changed. Spoke with Mobile.de's support - they said that's a known issue and they're working on a fix. However as I mentioned, I've opened the app on another 4.3 Android. I do get some errors when looking at the logs but can't understand them. So if you can advise on an app that can collect the logs, I'll do that and share them.
Thanks in advance.
I have the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Did you find a solution?
Yes, turned out that it was the AdFree app. It's an app that blocks ads. Uninstalling it won't bring back the original hosts file, so you have two options - the app itself gives you the option to restore the original hosts file. Or you can open the file with a text editor on the phone and delete i.ebayimg.com (I believe that was the one, I don't have it anymore so can't confirm it ) Now both ebay and mobile.de load pictures.
Haha, just found this old answer to my question. It was same for me
