Absolute System Tools - Broken(ish) WiFi - TouchPad General

So, this is one of those problems where I just can't figure it out. I used Absolute System Tools to change my ro.product.model to GT-I9100 and ro.product.brand to samsung so I could play Modern Combat 3 on CM7 3.5. The next day I tried logging into Feedly and my device wouldn't load my Google Reader info and I couldn't access any of the feeds. It synced some header information regarding my "Tech" feed, but no individual feeds loaded. My first attempt to fix the problem was to change my model back to Touchpad and brand to HP, but that didn't work.
I was curious if it was my internet in general, so I logged on Dolphin HD and I connected just fine, I was able to browse any site no problem (No, it wasn't cache). I then noticed that in the bottom right hand corner my WiFi network was reading at "0%" with none of the bars filled. So I reset my router and still couldn't get Feedly to work. I then tried going to the market to redownload Feedly and noticed that the Market wouldn't connect either. I also tested Facebook and it doesn't connect. I tried toggling the Adblocker in Absolute System Tools and that didn't fix the problem.
So the prognosis; I can connect to WiFi, but applications such as Facebook, Feedly, and the Android Market won't recognize my connection. Browsers such as Dolphin HD and the default Android Browser will connect and so will Sync. My info from Absolute System Tools is set back to stock, but something isn't working properly concerning WiFi.
If anyone could post a backup of their build.prop, that might help (Although I haven't been able to properly load a backup save file from AST). I honestly don't know where the save file is, as I'm pretty new to AST, so a little info on that might be helpful.
I'm one step away from using Titanium Backup and formatting to a stock CM7 3.5, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kies Air and different browsers

Has anyone managed to get this to work with Safari? It's a mild annoyance that when I want to use Kies Air I have to use Firefox instead of my go-to browser (Safari). Does anyone know if there is a simple setting/url change that I can use that will enable Safari to work with it? I'm running on OS X if that makes any difference.
Thanks.
I use Safari. Seems fine to me. What problem are you having?
Safari can’t connect to the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://1**.1**.1.6*:****/” because Safari can’t connect to the server “1**.1**.1.6*”.
(no idea if I need to censor that out, thought it would be safer).
Can you try without putting http://? I never entered that, just the number.

No need to censor those are local ips no risks.
It automatically adds the http:// to it after I press enter.
Weird. Is the number you entered is the same on your phone? Well, if you still unable to open I guess you've to use Firefox. Might have to wait some pro to solve it. haha
Yeah, double checked. It's weird that it works on FF. Maybe there's some setting enabled on Safari that's stopping it from working?
If you click on Safari > About Safari, what version are you using? Also, if you go to preferences > Advanced > Proxies > Change settings, do you have any of the options checked? Those are the only things I can think of that might make a difference.
Mine is 5.05.. Only Auto proxy check. Hmm...
all same here. I'm fresh out of ideas!
when you enter the url into your browser, and get the "cant connect" error, try restarting the phone. happened ot me as well and fixed it. same happened with my SG1, used an app called wifi explorer which was also to explore phone files wirelessly and had to just restart my phone after using app for the first time too.
Kies Air - Fix
I had this same problem, watched Kies connect once, but never connected again, kept stalling. Tried Mozilla, Chrome and Explorer, all with the same result. Then I noticed lots of Java icons stacked up in the taskbar, and under closer inspection, lots of instances of java started in the task manager.
Turns out the problem is the Java cache on your PC, it doesn't clear after you drop the connection, and prevents further re-connection attempts. Uninstall the Java on your PC and it all works fine. Not sure what you need to do if Java is essential to you.
Turns out the problem is specific to Java 6.24 and if you roll back to 6.23 it will be working again

Anyone else have a problem with Google maps constantly running

Its seems since the last ota ,every time i check my apps tab i see Google maps running, i close it out an 5 mins later it's there again , i have no other mapping software installed and only ran it once when i first got the tablet to see how my gps was working, i checked to see if some other app is calling it up, but for the life of me i couldn't see any of my installed apps needing it , i run a fairly lean system with maybe 12 apps installed beyond stock . Most of these being rss readers comic readers and a few various off line games and work tools , I'm not around wifi often so I'm a big fan of apps that store the data as opposed to just refreshing links. No Facebook apps or location check in style apps either, maybe my browser settings for searching local, but i would think that uses wifi info to establish that....
I've been using android since its inception but am a first time tablet owner barring a returned ipad 1 when those launched and a complete moron when compared to the level of knowledge displayed on this forum, so any ideas would be appreciated.
Tl;dr ver.
Read the thread title, any idea why constantly run? thnx

My guess is it has to do with location tracking, like if you gave google permission to use your location for whatever. I couldn't tell you how to disable it as it was an option that came up when first setting up the device...it also came up once when I signed into my google account on the google.com home page in the browser.
This is simply me guessing but I would try disabling anything that tracks your location and see if that helps. Maps is always running on my phone as well.

Google tracks location using the maps app on all devices with the Android market. The use it for delivering relevant ads and also for their traffic data. Remember, if something is free then you are the product.

Don't keep trying to close it. It will keep coming back automatically and you actually making the prime work a lil but harder by it having to relaunch it everytime. That will lead to faster battery drain. Just try cutting off Google locations in setting and see if that remedies it. Of not there's nothing you can do. If you try to disable it or get rid of it. It might cause issues with other apps.

How to disable search for DLNA servers in Gallery app?

In my home network I have 3 DLNA servers that allow streaming of all myvids/music.
When connected to wifi on my S3, if i open the Gallery app it automatically searches and parses all files on available DLNA servers.
This drains a huge amount of battery life! and it does this every time the gallery is started.
So far I have not found a way to disable this search or even to limit the servers.
I am running stock everything.
I first thought it was the "All Play" service but disabling it did not help. I know believe it may be a part of the Gallery app itself.
Any thoughts/ideas on how to disable that functionality in the gallery app?
Note- this is not the same as DLNA file sharing. disabling that only disables sharing of files from the s3 to other clients.
This annoys me as well. As much as it is kinda cool functionality to have, every time I go to show a picture of something on the phone at home, it spins up the hard disks in my 2 NAS devices for no reason. An option to turn this off would be great...
I have the same problem. My WD MyBook Live, and media players in the network show up in the gallery and slow it really down. I hope somebody has a solution to this as so far I only can stop it selecting the option "View by" "Content in device" but that can not be saved.
Here is something i have found.
If you select "View By " from the Gallery options menu then choose "Content in Device" it disables the DLNA view.
BUT
only for that instance of gallery.i.e. if gallery app is killed then you will have to choose option again.
Still you only have to do it every time you reboot your phone.
there is another thread just like this that has opped up same section slightly different request.
Ill pop a link from this thread into the other and see if we can get an answer. Have you disabled the media scan function in the wi-fi section?

there is already a thread on the Q&A section about this problem found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704575
You should post in here to collate the information and of course use the search feature next time

The thread you posted was only started yesterday. This one here has been here for a week.
Either way ill jump on the other one and get the guys to jump over and get to answer I know you can remove the image cache but I'm not sure about the continual load because even if you remove the cache it will just keep updating it.
You can also root your device and manually remove the Allshare apk's. but that removes the allshare functionality of course.
I have done this on my S3 and gallery no longer searches for DLNA servers.
I've decided to use BubbleUpnP for DLNA streaming purposes instead.
Any luck?
Just got my S iii and am having same issue. I vaguely remember it asking about dlna upon setup, but I cannot find how to disable it loading pics from my PC every time I open gallery. Battery killer! Btw, there is nothing in the other thread mentioned about this. Has anyone figured it out?

I haven't seen any comments on here in several months, has this been resolved? (Aside from getting a replacement Gallery-style app.)
I'm new to Verizon and have the S3 (Verizon model of course) and have the same problem. I turned off all DLNA settings but the Gallery app still searches. I have Plex Media Server at home (Mac version), so Gallery gets extremely sluggish when I'm home and have WiFi turned on. It's sluggish to the point that I have to slowly enter Task Manager to exit it; no sense even trying to get the "Content in Device" option set because it never sticks and takes almost forever to get to because of the sluggishness.
I also went to the other forum link posted above, but that seems to be talking about WiFi always scanning, not this Gallery/DLNA issue, unless I'm missing something...? :angel:

on my rooted note 2 I used rom toolbox to permanently remove anything 'allshare' related, as I don't use that stuff. It resolved my issue with gallery slowing. I have plex installed, but it is not sharing photos.
Deleted.
I think I managed to solve this on my device.
I went into the "more settings" under wireless and network. And into "Allshare cast" when I turned this off my gallery suddenly started working again.
*edit*
Nevermind, it was just for a few minutes. The app started to slow down after I closed and opened it again.

Guys, this is an old post, but the same keeps happening with newer models, and i didn't want to use a third party app. I downloaded an app called DisableService (needs root) and disabled the service SystemService inside NearbyService. The nearby devices list has disappeared from the gallery's menu and the gallery starts up a lot faster. I have yet to try if the gallery will still spin up my nas but i'm very optimistic.

[Q] How to get rid of - adsmatte.com Adware

Hi,
Few days back, I start experiencing some Adware issues in my windows machine and windows phone. I have a blog which server Google Ads. Now, If I load my blog or any blogpost and then starts click randomly anywhere, it open a popup to ad.adsmatte.com/rot.aspx?and_some_parameters. I noticed that, I can experience the same problem in any website that servers Google Ads. I suspect this to be an Adware. But, I'm not sure how this creeps into my machine as well as in my windows phone. All the software that I use are genuine and no pirated copies are there in my machine.
But, the most surprising this I noticed is, my Windows Phone is also affected by the same problem. Since, IE in Windows Phone don't allow extensions and has proper sandboxing architecture, then how come IE in windows phone could be affected? I tried resetting my browser in both desktop as well as mobile, but didn't helped at all. Also, I launched the browser in InPrivate mode, which has the same problem too. . I even tried loading the same in FireFox (with AdBlock installed), but has the same problem.
I searched the internet for a solution and came across these 2 links - http://forums.androidcentral.com/moto-g-2014/528571-adware-redirects-most-websites.html, http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=8189. And, I'm surprised by the timing of these issue. Is this a new Adware out-break? Is spreads to all machines connected in the same router, if I got it right.
Is there any fix? How can I get rid of this?
All machines connected to my wifi have gotten Infected with this admatte.com . Condition of my phone is worse , I cannot open any site from any browser as I get instantly directed to this site. It does look like an outbreak , because it has been reported on internet since yesterday only and no solution is working. No anti virus is able to detect this adware. So we really need help.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Ad-matte
I am facing the same issue. It infected my PC, iphone and my android. I tried malwarebytes with no luck. The attack is so bad that I am unable to open any article in NDTV app. Did anyone find a solution?
adsmatte
All this started just a few days ago. And yes it infects all the devices connected to the same router.What i observed was if you just try the link ad.adsmatte.com it redirects to google ad services, i dont know what to make out of it though. I have been using adguard extension in chrome and havent faced the problem since the installation. I would recommen you guys to do the same.
enjoy this
youtu.be/PXFb0TWRgUc
best solution worked for me
Got this virus on Firefox days ago, I had tried many means to delete it but did not help. I followed the guides here
removebrowserhijacker.com/remove-ads-by-ad-adsmatte-com-pop-up-how-to-get-rid-of-ad-adsmatte-com-adware
, reset browser setting and remove add-ons, then restart. It did help something.
For Chrome go to Settings--> Advanced --> Do not Track
Start the Do not Track option. This works for chrome browser in android mobile phones
ad.adsmatte prob solved..
I have been searching the prob all over the internet but at last my own intellect got me the solution... Its simple solution for android phones ..just go to wifi menu.. Long press ur wifi id and select modify settings.. In there change DHCP to static Ip and fill in the details as per shown there already.. In DNS type 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and save it.. Its done..No more rubbish admatte ...Such a headache i ve been through for a month
wat prashu posted sounds dandy except that I WI settings on my android - but Save button I not highlighted, and no use anyway
practically, my internet on hone is disabled because of the redirector.
If anyone is having any problems with the advertisement.just move to the router settings and head off to LAN and unselected dns automatically.. Select the dns manually and enter Primary dns- 8.8.8.8 Secondary dns- 8.8.4.4

Chromebook Flip (C302CA) Can't Run Chrome!

I have a STRANGE issue going on that I'm hoping the XDA community can help with.
My Asus Chromebook Flip has been a tank since I got it (warranty ran out 3 weeks ago, of course). Out of the blue it suddenly started rebooting "randomly". After doing a Powerwash and a full OS image restore (from microSD) it was still doing it, but I noticed that it seemed to only do this after Chrome would get re-synced with all my extensions. After I had turned off all extensions and another restore I refused to load Chrome itself and instead watched Netflix via its app, played lots of Android games and then loaded Firefox and browsed that way. So far it's been rock solid again.
I looked over the logs in file:///var/logs/chrome and they are of little help (to me). They show several different errors including something called Gaia login issues, bluetooth issues, devices not existing, etc. Nothing to me is obvious from them. It seems like a corrupted Chrome. Asus is of little use as they want $60 for a diagnostic fee, can't tell me what it will cost to "repair" and will have the unit for at least 10 days. My fear would be they'd send me a bill for like $200 to repair and send me a crappy refurb that wil then fail the same way once I resync Chrome. (My flip is in a clear case and is pristine).
Has anyone seen this sort of thing before? The obvious course (again, to me) is to go into Chrome and turn on extensions one-by-one until I find, hopefully THE culprit assuming that is the cause. Hoping someone here may have gone through this and found the culprit or likely culprit before I begin this hunt, especially since all my extensions are also disabled on my desktop due to the sync. I have extensions for Forecast Fox, Dashlane, Google Calendar Plus, Honey, Color Picker, U-Block, Tampermonkey (to allow a script to check pop accounts more often... now that I type that this seems a good prospect) and others I'm forgetting now.
Thanks.

It seemed to, though I didn't spend much time doing Guest as there's a lot of limits on it (for example Netflix won't work as a Guest). I didn't try a new account because I don't really have one, though I could create one just for testing.
