So I've got a bone stock galaxy tab. Had it for almost two weeks now. Since day one I've been able to log into my banks secure site without fail. Until today. I've changed nothing, except one OTA update. I've tried multiple browsers. The provided browser was originally working fine. But now opera and FireFox are the same way. I've contacted the bank they Swear it can't be on their end. I'm able to log in on my desktop, my wifes iPad and my sons HTC Flyer, but nothing works on my tab. My son suggests that I do a factory reset .... Is this my only other option? If so I'm willing to do so, but id prefer not too.
Anyone else have any kind of similar problems? Find any solutions..?
go for it
Factory reset is a good option in bringing a device back to its working version.
But remember to back up your data easily using gobackup,and various similar stuff before reseting it or u might lose your data
Thanks... but Not for bootloop...

I wanted everyone to know about this. I was having a problem with receiving flix messages (was getting 10pics instead of an actual video), so after no progress, a different ROM i decided to go back to the stock Verizon ROM. After I did that, my data is basically broken. Every time I put in my password and try to get on the internet it says my password is wrong. I checked and the password is blank, so i put it in again and the same thing happens. Tried flashing a pre-GPS ROM and didn't help. I had Verizon "reset" my Data and that did not help. It seems as though reverting back to the stock radio somehow has blocked me getting data now. So be warned, if you go back to the stock vzw rom, you will loose data and have to get a new phone (sending me one out Monday).
Anyone else have this experience?
You try putting in your 10 digit number and VZW as the password?
yea everything was set perfect everytime. even for the fun of it let the vzw tech at the store try, nada.
Did Verizon tech support try to remove your data package from your account and then put it back on, then push a reset to the local towers in your area... I went back to the stock verizon ROM about a month ago and those are the things they had to do to get it to work, but it did work.....
I called verizon and she removed the data and then pushed a reset to the towers and it still doesnt work (not sure if she did the reset b/c she didnt know what i meant at first). So ill wait for the refurb and see if my new phone will connect. thanks for the help...
It is actually your 10 digit mobile [email protected] with password vzw.
I had to create a new data connection with the correct username and password which fixed my issue. Then I reflashed eveyrthing properly.
well it took one day for me to want to flash back to the gps rom. one question, has anyone had any problems with MMS Video meg on verizon? i was getting a bunch of 10 pics instead of a video.
hi all,
i'm sure i'm being really really stupid here, but i just cannot seem to connect to the market, or to download anything onto the phone at all....
i got it and then rooted it using dayzee's gude (thanks!). i now want to install debian, so i need to download the terminal app (or something similar) from the market. however, i didn't have a google a/c - so i created one online. this involved an sms being sent to the phone which was received, code typed in and account authorized, etc. then i tried to connect to the market from the phone, so typed in all the information to set it up and got this message:
Code:
Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server.
This could be a temporary problem or your sim card may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call customer care.
Now, I've tried this many times over the course of the day (today) and in different locations, too. I even tried registering another account from the fone - same response for all of these. Has anyone had similar problems, or got any suggestions about how to get around this?
one other thing i tried was to d/l stuff from http://www.cyrket.com/ but that also seemed to require that i sign into marketplace with a google account and i couldn't see any way to not do this.
extra info: t-mobile uk standard contract and phone, everything is pretty much 'virgin' still except for the fact i rooted it and have adb pushed the debian.img onto the sdcard as indicated on http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Installing_Debian
many thanks.
This has happened to a lot of people including myself. The only solution I am aware of is to factory reset your phone, and enter your Google account details in the initial setup.
This will solve your problem, but it does mean a reset.
thanks - that worked!! luckily i haven't done too much with the phone yet, so it was easy....

Any help?
hi all
bought a second hand unlocked rogers evo 3d.
android 2.3.4 not rooted
using on telus(canada) with data and phone plan.
did factory reset
put in the correct apn for telus
having a problem with the browser,i can update phone
connect to play store,download programs.
when i try to use the browser to access the internet,it will not let me view websites .
i have checked all the data settings,reinstalled the sim, but no luck.
one thing odd is that when i try and access a website,the 4g arrows flash ,but it gives website unavailable error.i am not unfamiliar with android phones, but this has me perplexed. i have toggled airplane mode on and off to no effect.
phone works perfect except for browsing the web on cell service,works fine on wifi.
Have you tried clearing the data on the browser app?
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
will try that tonight, but would that not affect all browsing(wifi and cell)if the data was bad?
working
did another factory reset and a re-setup,seems to be working fine.
there were 2 ota updates from htc,last time one failed.
never bothered with them this time.
Cool glad its working now.

Ever since I got my first Android device (Galaxy Nexus) I had the problem that Gmail and Google Talk just often won't notify me about new messages. It works fine sometimes but often there is a delay between a few seconds and several hours until it finally notifies me (if at all that is).
It's basically freaking useless. I just can't rely on it so I end up checking for messages and mail manually every few minutes.
Things that don't affect the problem:
Device and Android Version. Plenty of people reported this problem and it's just not limited to one device or version.
If the screen is turned off or not. It even stops working while Talk is open (not in the background).
How the phone connects to the internet. At home it's using the same connection as my PC, while it just won't notify me of an new e-mail the Talk client on the PC manages it without problems.
ROM/Kernel don't seem matter either. Also did plenty of factory resets.
All I can find are old and/or unanswered threads.
Like those:

I'd have ditched Android by now if there would be a good alternative. But it's either Android, iOS or Windows Phone...
Sign out of google talk and gmail.do a battery pull, then a factory reset, then try again.

my advice. backup what you need(ie. text messages) and just clear data, revert to stock image

I don't really get how this could help. Don't feel like doing yet another reset unless it could really have an effect.

ROM and Kernel don't seem to matter. That includes for example stock, Cyanogen and franco kernel.
Did a factory reset like 100 times before, just this time logged out first. Didn't help, how unexpected.
Another option, contact sprint, have them do a. Profile refresh. Also update ur prl twice. Now that I think about, it could be a slight network issue in connection with ur device (hard to explain)

I'm in Europe. No sprint here.
I'll replace my Nexus with an S III today. Guess I'm about to find out if it's affected too.
Will probably be hard to do any further tests with the Nexus because my SIM is going to have a little meeting with a scissor.
Didn't get too many messages yet but some of them were definitely several minutes late. Guess the S III is affected too. Just great.
Am I the only person with this problem?
Still happening and renders the phone mostly useless.
At least some ideas on how to pinpoint the problem?
Was out earlier today, all Was fine with my phone, and never had an issue before. Then next thing I know I take my phone out of my Pocket and everything is in chinese, and apps gone, same widget setup as it came from the factory. I tried rebooting and changing the language to english. Also noticed that terms/privacy policy Was not already checked as usual (I got the phone from Taiwan a few months back and havent put a sim in it yet, just using on wifi, so it asks me for language/terms every time I reboot, but it has never been a problem in the past)
Everything is gone now, pics, videos, apps, and all data, even files I saved in folders I created myself in internal storage. I dont think I could havent "butt dialed" that sequence of commnds, especially since you have to select an extra setting if you want internal storage to be wiped during factory reset (I think). Possible but not likely...anyone else seen this? And more importantly is there anything I can do to get my data back?? I lost all pics from the vacation we're on and a ton of pics of my kids and family... I'm hoping its just some profile switch function IM not aware of, but I doubt it since storage space is all free now
One other interesting thing, google loaded and havent searc results in chinese, even after I selected English. phone UI did change successfully, but for same reason google still thinks I want chinese.
That doesnt sound normal
Try flashing a FTF with flashtool (flashtool.net)
See if it happens again, your firmware may not have been written right during manufacturing of your device

You don't want to flash anything if you want any chance of getting your data back, you need to stop using it and run a data recovery program as soon as you can, more chance of getting some of your data back

Thanks, that's what I was thinking. Outside of the initial investigation, I pretty much stopped using the phone altogether and shut it off. I'm still on vacation so I haven't tried any recovery apps yet. My phone is not rooted currently, does anyone have any recommendations on the best recovery tool to use in that case? The first one I checked out was Dr. Fone, as well as an app based tool, but that one required root access. I'm hoping the most effective tools don't require root, as I don't want to mess up my chances of getting my data back during the rooting process.
As long as your computer recognises it you can use any recovery tool that supports flash memory via your pc

Ah that's good to know, thanks. I tried using a few android specific ones last night. Dr Fone connected to my phone and started installing drivers I think, then just crapped out. The other one (Tenoshare i think) made it all the way to scanning (it said it didn't recognize my phone model, but let me continue anyeway), but the process hung during the scan. When I restarted it, it told me I needed to root my phone, which is weird since it let me scan before...
I'll keep digging around, hope I can find something that works!
EDIT:
Finally decided to root it since I was having no luck, and that did help for a few of the apps. Unfortunately it seems the only recoverable data is the stuff I had already backed up to the card. No photos or videos taken after that come up, which also seems very strange to me... I have no idea what happened, one minute everything was normal, the next it was like I just picked it up fresh out of the box : /
