[Q] Browser hijack by mobogenie - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have an annoying mobogenie.apk download problem for a few days. It's start on xda forum page. Now it can happens 5-6 times for a day even if I'm off-line. I am so annoyed by this stupid app. I can say that it's not just a website, but a lot of websites. Download the file automatically without permissions. I use my stock browser on galaxy s with latest CM11. Some times it downloads when I open play store application.
Safe mod doesn't works to prevent this problem. AVG search not found any mallisious situation.
Have can I solve this annoying problem?
Thanks in advance.

Adblock plus for android fixes it. Just make sure that you have set it up correctly. Instructions are on the site

Chrome at least asks whether you want to download the file or not...

I have formatted the /system folder and installed new nightly, instead of installing a new application. This temporarily solves my problem.

[Q] Market issue in 2.2.1

after some testing with some rom out there i can say that android market is kinda bugged.
everytime i reboot my phone and i open market, all my apps are gone. Nothing is listed in download page of market. Every time i need to clear market data and restart it. Any fix for it? Can be related to the new directory of /dbdata/databases and not data/data?
thx
I have a similar issue sometimes after installing a new rom....The best way to fix it I have found is to install a new app from the market
This disease is contagious. Even smart and seasoned members can't distinguish Q/A and DEVELOPMENT forum.
*headbang*
It's not a simple question. We need a fix because it's a rom problem.

[Q][Solved]Why are alot of apps not showing in the market?[Solved]

Hello,
Ever since I updated to CM7. I've run into the problem that certain apps aren't visible in the market on my phone. they are present on the online market but I'm unable to install them.
Does anyone else have the same problem ? and has anyone found a solution?
(Personally I'm running Wgspoelstra's v2.9 (based on nightly .29))
Problem is solved!
solution is posted on page 2 by NL_B!
I can't find Vendetta online in the market either, and i'm running stock (rooted)
hmm I had no such problems on stock just on 2.3.4 CM7
That's because the app isn't compatible with your device (in theory).
But most of the time, that's not true. Just search the apk using other ways and install it with your favourite file manager.
Vendetta is only for tabs btw

Then, maybe it's a region problem.
I can't help.
Well i cant find the apk on the internet so i cant push it to my phone to try
Can you find it in the market? Its called tweakers.net

I'm using the Spanish May version of the stock rom, rooted and installed yesterday.
I can find the app in Market.
Check your "Market" parameters
Maybe you have enabled "content filtering" by mistake as I did once causing a lot of apps not to be displayed...

What you need to do is install google apps one more time. http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/. Use the 20110307 Universal, download it and install it from recovery like how you install the CM7.
I'm familiar with this problem. WG forget to include some components from the google apps.

Use Eris Market Fix (if you are rooted). Worked perfect for me. You can find it market.

Thanks,
I gave it a try, at first I thought It hadnt worked so i rebooted the phone and read the site and it said it would work after the 2nd or 3rd market 'start' and it actually did! awsome
Hi eniux, actually the best way to reset the market (in case it won't download, happened to me couple of times) is to clear the market data.
Go to settings, applications, click on market, clear data.
If you enter the market it will ask you to agree with terms, condition, etc. After this everything will work as it should.

[Q] (cm9 nightly) cant download lot of apps

Hey,
can someone please tell me why Im not able to download a lot of apps like:
Sound Hound
Google Chrome
Opera Mini
Maxthon Browser
..
Is it 4.0.4 (because on 4.0.3 before that I was able to download those) or cm9?
Thanks.
Please provide more information. What is the error the Market gives you? If there is no error, check to see if /datadata is full. There are workarounds available for that.
There is no error. I just dont see the apps in the market.
If I search for Opera I only find Opera Mobile not Mini.
If I search for Maxthon I only find Maxthon Browser Addons etc but not the browser itself etc.. :/
If I try to install via my Computer it says "Diese App ist nicht mit Ihrem Samsung GT-I9000-Gerät kompatibel." -> "App isn't compatible with your device"
/e Tried to clear cache and Dalvik Cache - didnt worked. Have to sleep now. Good night
Use the Market Enabler app.
Thanks but it doesnt seem to work..i change country to wjatever and... nothing changed
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
That seems to be a market error. You should be able to find Opera mobile by pressing on Opera mini and then on 'more apps by Opera' or something like this.
Where? Cant find a Button like that :s
And as i said it isnt even possible through my Computer:/ .. i guess its the ROM isnt it?

If you can't find it with your computer, why should it be a ROM issue?
I find them on my computer but cant download it (or send the dl to my sgs) cause of "not compatible" .. :/
Go to manage applications in settings and try to clear data and cache of Google Play Store.
Already tried that + I reinstalled the market :/
Had this problem as well.. search for the app in appbrain.. it will open up in play store

Cant find appbrain in the market and if i try to load it from appbrain.vom (Or whatever) it opens in the market and sais "this Version isnt compatible with ur device"
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Version?
Out of curiosity: what version of the Play Market app do you have installed?
I flashed CM9 (factory reset/wipe cache/wipe dalvik) on my GT-I9000, started the rom, rebooted in recovery and flashed gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip. Market is now at 3.5.15 and all the apps you mentioned show up.
Same as you .. 3.5.15
And i also did all the resets u did :/

Installed gapps zip again + Cache and dalvik Cache -> nothing changed

solution
the only option worked for me is to edit build.prop file in system folder u need to edit these values
ro.product.model=GT-I9000
ro.product.device=crespo
ro.build.fingerprint=google/mysid/crespo:4.0.4/IMM30B/257829:user/release-keys
use crespo where written if something else written there as in my case it was "toro" .. try and let me know
u can try root explorer and edit directly and reboot
Oh thanks at first. That could be the problem cause my values are:
ro.build.fingerprint: samsung/GT-I9000/GT-I9000:2.3.5/GINGERBREAD/XXJVT:user/release-keys
ro.product.device=GT-I9000
ro.product.model=GT-I9000
I dont know what to write there now? :> Probably not the same as you?
hmmm well i am using
[ROM] [6.4.2012] NEW ICS 4.0.4 EXTRAordinary_4.0.4_beta9
and i found it the best so far, u can try it too and try to do it with the modified build.prob attached , as i see people also having problems in market with the rom and i figured it out and it worked. can u please post this solution in that thread too
Oh my ... it works! Yeah
Thanks so much, all of you!
What I did (dont know if the restart is necessary):
-Copied the build.prop via Rom Toolbox inside system folder
-restart phone
-delete cache and files of Google Play

[need help] Play Store does not recognize my note correctly

Hi guys, since a few days, maybe a week i am having troubles with play store everytime i update a rom.
i'm on paranoidandroid from utacka with HC kernel 7.5.
at the moment the play store does not allow me to install many apps in a random (to my eyes) pattern.
for example i installed backstab a while ago while it was on sale and i cannot see it anymore...
same happens for many other apps...
anyone got a clue?
Try to clean the data of play store app. And wipe dalvik cache and try again.
Done that. I also tried to restore a backup copy of the store from before the rom update without any success. Now I'm back to my previous version will give it another try ASAP.
Keep the tips flowing please

and here we go again... i just updated the rom and play store acts weirdly again.
now i managed to get access to all of the apps on the playstore app but i do not see my galaxy note appearing on the web playstore.
already tried:
Flashing again the rom
clearing data from playstore
deleting and readding account on Gnote
logging out and in again on web playstore.
now... uninstalled playstore, through TiBu and reinstalled with apk from androidpolice.
atm the playstore is showing the 2nd copy of my galaxy note...
but many of the apps were not compatible with my device.
rebooted to recovery, wiped cache and data (factory reset)
rebooted to system, let the play store recover my old apps, then reinstalled the missing one (becouse of non compatibility) using TiBu and enabled the market for foreign apps with market enabler.
looks like solved...
at least for now...
last famous words... again i can use my device from web but most of the apps are not allowed for my phone... what can i do now? my god.. i'm hating it... nite people.. i hope someone comes with some ideas couse i tried all that comes to my mind...

Maybe the latest version of YouTube is not supported or completely unstable in the stock éclair ROM so I recommend you to search the Web for older version of YouTube in APK file format its totally free!
Because the latest version of YouTube app is needed the Google play services to run. That's maybe the point.
Sorry for my bad English
Thanks if I helped you. Good luck

Youtube problem
Was this fixed? I also have the same problem. I'm using Sky Vega a820L (Korean Android phone), rooted, MIUI rom, and lately after updating my youtube app the thumbnails began not to show anymore and every time i open it it pops with the same error "there was a problem starting up. Please check your network connection and system time."
I have tried the following solutions (see below) but it never worked:
- clear cache
- clear data
- un-install/re-install app
- downloaded different versions (apk file)
please help! :crying::crying::crying:
Had the same problem on the stock version...
- tried to install Youtube for froyo !
- tried different time settings
- Changed DNS
I think the problem is relied to this version and Google servers. Because, sometimes without doing nothing, Youtube works again !!
We can say this issue is solved now :
if it's not relied to time (cause of certificate validity..) or connection problem.
Try to verify these things :
1- Check if you are using any firewall app witch may be blocking Youtube or some of google servers... Allow it
2- Like many mobile geeks, I'm sure you are using an Ad-blocking app like Adaway, disable it to restore original hosts status..
If it solved the issue,
You need to apply new filters again, and edit the hosts file that you can find in /system/etc
And remove any ads server relied to youtube or Google
Google sucks for this ! Good luck
