Hi all,
So today the mobile data of my dad's s3 mini started to act weird.
He can access facebook, and some other apps while in data ( the apps are installed through play store... )but the youtube app, or accessing youtube, facebook, google or any other site on the internet browser is impossible.
He can use about 1GB of data and it resets every month, but he only used 600MB over the last 3 months so that can't be the problem.
I tried googling it but haven't seen anything that helped me.
Is there any fix for this, if yes, then please tell me i don't have to put it in default settings
Thanks in advance

EDIT: Okay so if you happen to have this problem follow these steps:
Go to your menu and press settings.
Then go to mobile networks, located under the connectivity tab
Now there are some options, one of them is called "access point names", click that
Then you got 1 or more circles which you can check, see which one has a green dot in it, for me it was the first, keep that one in mind
Now hit the menu button and choose "reset to default settings", this will set everything back to default, obviously .
Now choose the circle again which you kept in mind, enable data and ur done!
He just told me that some stuff happened in his pocket but doesnt know what
Also fyi, its on stock, not rooted, not unlocked... Pure stock
Aight I fixed it, see the first post for the fix

Guys, I have a bit of a strange problem.. i am using JF1.5 but my browser is not working... by that i mean it opens without a problem and shows the homepage ( www.google.com ) in a second but when i open anyother address it just says " web page not available- check your internet connection " but the strange thing is that when i open a link there is no network activity as if the browser aint even trying to connect to the network ....
Now i have installed opera mini and thats working just fine .... i.e opens every page quickly .... but opera is very hard and i dont like it at all .... and i want to use the built in browser...
Any Idea whats the problem ?
Thanks
the google home page you see is probably a cached version, it didn't actually download that page from the internet.
from your description, it seems to be a network state problem. the android system has its own way for detecting internet connections, it may report you're offline even if you're not. but the only two apps I know that uses this is browser and downloader. you have to check if your apn settings are complete. make sure you have the "proxy" field set.
I tried to mess with the apn settings but to no use .... Its really freaky ... every other browser works just fine .... and so does the market and google talk but the built in browser behaves as if there is no data connection .... is there a way i can uninstall it and reinstall it from somewhere somehow ?
Regards
I'm having the same exact problem. I upgraded my G1 and it worked fine but when I upgraded my girlfriends G1, the default browser doesn't work.
I will open up the browser and the page will show and then it just closes out and goes back to the desktop. I've tried to flash it again and there is no change.
Ok.
So I went into the application manager and cleared out everything and it still doesn't work.
Not sure what could be causing this because my phone flashed fine.
Hey everyone,
So I just upgraded my DS7 to Honeycomb, pretty new to this Android thing, so I haven't rooted anything, just running the stock Dell version.
After the upgrade the Facebook App doesn't seem to work. I can log in, but my Newsfeed never displays anything, it just continuously shows the little loading circles spinning around.
Any ideas?

Have you reset (power off and on) after you update? Check to see if there is an update to Facebook. Mines works fine after the update. After the update, if you did not go through the setup procedure, you might want to do a factory reset to clear out all the old data and begin fresh. I did that and my Streak 7 is working smoothly, no problem at all.
I have rebooted it a number of times, but no luck. I've been thinking about doing a factory reset and then upgrading to HC after that, as almost all my data is stored in the cloud, so I would just need to back up my apps.
I'm still pretty new to Android though, so I'm a little nervous about doing that sort of thing.
My Facebook app is also giving me problems. The newsfeed and profile tab and some of my friends wall wont load all the time. After a reboot it did help but like I said, sometimes I have the same issue. I will keep an eye on it and see whats up.

Try opening a friends wall and go back to yours. Play with it a few times back and forth. Also, try an uninstalland update again. Clear cache and data.

You have already upgrade to Honeycomb, so all you have to do is a factory reset to clear out the old data. You will not loose your honeycomb update, just the data. Go into the recovery mode: power off, then press & hold the Volume Up and Power button until the recovery screen comes up, then follow the instructions it provide.
mine is working fine... did you try to clear data once?
Try resetting App in Applications

Before you reboot, try by going into settings, applications, and then pull up all applications and scroll down to Facebook, when it comes up...click on the "Clear Data" option. It will clear out all setting for Facebook, then go to the Market and check for Facebook updates. Once you've done that, reboot your Streak, then try accessing Facebook to see it it the issue cleared. Facebook works fine on my Streak.
Now comes the big question: How do I remove this Facebook application? Used to have it but was addicted, strangely enough I am unable to remove the application. Am I the only one that does not want to be on Facebook? The service is running and therefore is doing something even if it was just taking up space...... anyone?

Open settings and applications. Select all. Scroll to fb. Wipe data and cache. Fixed

Root+ titanium back = freeze the app or uninstall
The Facebook 1.7.2 app on my mom's S7 crashes when she clicks the "friends" link if the tablet is being held in landscape mode. It works properly when held in portrait mode.
Wifi only HC update issues
I'm having a lot of the same issues that are being mentioned here.
For starters, I can't seem to install/move apps to SD after upgrading.
Facebook app doesn't work very well (if at all) even with update applied or clearing data. I can cause it to crash simply by selecting the friends tab. I also noticed that trying to add fb via the accounts tab in system settings generates an error. My theory is that this is a bug stemming from contact syncing.
I say this because none of the apps seem to behave correctly in that sense. Twitter and Skype contacts get added even when you specify within the app settings to sync with existing contacts only.
The Paypal app experiences an error upon login, preventing you from getting past that initial screen.
Installing apps via Android Market from another computer doesn't work. You are given the option to send the app but it never shows up on the Streak. I have not tried this again since wiping the device last night.
Note: Prior to upgrading, I reset the device to factory state. Updated successfully. Found all the above issues. Reset to factory state again. No change in behavior. I think the build may be bad, but then again, I'm no expert.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi everyone, this is a really irritating problem, I hope someone can help.
I can no longer download unless I'm using a wifi connection. This applies to the Play Store as well as email attachments and even saving files/images from the web browser. If I switch to a wifi connection it works.
Everything else works fine. I've tried clearing data from the download manager in Settings --> Apps but that doesn't fix it. Kinda run out of ideas.
I'm using a stock Galaxy Note 4.04 (non rooted) on Orange, UK.
Thanks
Playstore-->menu-->settings-->untick download only using wifi..same applies for downloader managers as well.
Pressing the thanks button requires just few seconds and a mind n heart that feels satisfied

I've checked and "Update over Wifi only" is not checked. I've tried checking it and unchecking it again but still no joy.
As for download managers... I am using a stock phone. I don't know how to change any settings in the download manager. All I can do is remove the data when I visit Settings --> Apps.
If I try to download it downloads about 8k and then stops. If I then enable Wifi the download continues normally.

I think you might be onto something here, but I have no idea what I'm looking for.
When I go to Settings --> Mobile Network, --> Access Point Names I'm presented with:
Orange UK internet
Orange Broadband
Orange UK MMS
The first one is selected. If I click on any of them I'm presented with the following:

dl.dropbox.com/u/41858/2012-10-19%2011.32.29.png
They don't appear to be editable.
May be u need to delete and re enter then. make sure u have setting for the. else contact t the service provider
Are any of you having issues with the Google Now search of installed applications? I have the checkbox checked in the Google Now settings (Settings -> Phone search -> Apps- Names of installed applications), but sometimes this just stops working until I go into the settings again to uncheck and check it.
This also happens with my Contacts

Yes! This just started for me a couple days ago. The only thing that setting you mentioned above does for me now is search THROUGH installed apps for hits, but no longer brings up the app itself. Unfortunately your fix of checking and unchecking doesn't seem to do the trick for me (I'm on a Note 2).
For anyone who's not familiar with this behavior, it's a really nice feature of the main Google Now bar everyone should have on their home screen:
Punching in part of an app name in the Google Now bar pulls up hits including the app itself.
It's very convenient to for example turn on your phone, type in "Scan", and get as the top hit the Genius Scan app for example (you might only remember the "Scan" part of the name of the app).
Or type in "Face" and the Facebook app shows up. (Partials work.)
It's very similar to the iOS left-swipe search, the Windows 7 Start button, and OSX Spotlight.
Hunting and pecking through the app list is for chumps.
After today's Google+ update patch, this issue is now resolved.
same problem here..

Hi all
Wondering if anyone can offer any advice on this...
I upgraded a lumia 920 to windows 8.1, after the update no apps would work including stock apps like internet explorer App Store etc.
I hard reset the phone by going to settings about reset my phone
After this was done it did not give me the option to add my Microsoft account to restore the backed up data and the apps still don't work. If I try to manually add a Microsoft account the option crashes and internet explorer and stock apps still keep crashing.
By crashing I mean as soon as I click them they try to open by go straight back to the main screen.
Can anyone help
Thanks in advance for any advice

My advice would be to restore the phone using the Nokia tool. These links may be of some help depending on how you upgraded... http://www.nokia.com/us-en/support/faq/?action=singleTopic&topic=FA142987 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515453. More info about the method you used would be helpful to anyone that may be of more help. Luckily the phone isn't bricked and still boots.
Try HARD RESET again.
Minimum 2 times.
thanks for the replies, i tried to hard reset again just now but the same happened, it takes me through the set up process, when it gets to the account page and i click "sign in" it shows a white screen with:
"checking account information"
then doesnt ask for any login details and goes to the home screen, and the apps still dont work, I'm trying the nokia recovery tool now, will update what happens,
Finally got a chance to do the nokia software reset which did the job fine, had a few apps which had a strange error and would not reinstall with an err 8000fff however after the update was redone it seemed fine, only crap part is all the text messages and calendar entries have been lost
thanks again
