Hi guys,
Ok, i've had my S3 for about a week and whenever im browsing the web i get a blue box with a question mark in it where an image should be, but whenever im connected to wifi everything loads without a problem. I tought it might be a carrier problem (i'm with orange!) but no1 else is having this problem - but they are running different fones.
I've done a factory reset, browser settings reset, uninstalled and reinstalled flash AND updated it, but still getting the blue box!!!
Any ideas on how to solve this cos its getting really annoying now.
Thanks in advance

Did you try to put the phone in bootloader mode ? Maybe could give it a try (reset and vol down) and try flashing a new rom.
Had a similar problem and freaked cuz thought I had a 3 day old Bricked Fuze. Should be no worries. Just hold down the Down volume button and also the Center button while sticking the stylus in the reset button. Should come up with the tri color screen. Do what it says to restore. Just to let you know anything that you had saved on the phone would be forever lost. IMO a very small sacrifice to get my phone back.

I guess you should have posted this on the ROMs thread, in case it's a ROM bug, but if the suggestions above don't work for you, you might have a bad flash. Try reflashing and make sure you hard reset again right at the "tap the screen to setup device" screen. And just to try to make it as safe as possible, try removing the SD card, you never know.......
Does anyone ever have issues with the phone/dialer app?
If I try to call someone from contacts, I swipe on their name to the right and nothing happens, if I try again, I notice the contacts app has frozen OR I try to swipe again and nothing happens again. Eventually it might work after 2 or 3 goes.
Then I'll hang up after finally getting it to make the call and the phone immediately tries to make the calls I tried to make earlier... This happens fairly often but not all the time.
OR – (this happens rarely but does happen)
Phone rings, try to swipe the green answer thingo and it just bounces back to where it was, try to swipe/answer again nothing. I can't answer the call. Happened today, really pissed me off. Phone app crashed and refused to make a call after that for about a minute.
Sound familiar to anyone?
Using Android 2.3.5 Vodafone (Australia) stock unrooted.
Anyone?
Would love some help on this.
Yes I am facing the same issues as you.
A few observations:
problems exist on stock dialer app as well as third party dialer apps
It's an intermittent problem i.e. sometimes the problem shows and other times it does not
I was facing the same problem a couple months ago too, since i was running 2.3.3 so i had just upgraded to 2.3.6 and the problem had disappeared. But out of the blue it has again started now while i am running 2.3.6
Currently i am running on stock rom, cf rooted, latest modem.
Am looking for a permanent solution and will post a solution if i find one, in any case hope the official ICS release (due on the 15th) should solve the problem anyways.
Anyone else facing the same problem?
Updates
Usually clearing the cache and calvik cache does not help resolve the issue.
After posting the above post I had just created a ClockWork mod backup and Restored to the same. Dunno how but that resolved the issue, or to be exact, the issue did not surface for a couple days.
Today the issue actually became too much for me to be able to handle.
So I again cleared both cache and dalvik cache and then fixed permissions via CLockWork recovery menu.
Since then I am not facing the issue yet. Hope it works for you too.
(But this is just a preliminary observation and maybe the issue shall resurface with long term use)
p.s. really hoping that the impending ICS update will permanently fix said issue.
Hello everyone,
I have got a big problem. Yesterday, my phone have started to redirect from google.com and facebook.com pages to fake Flash Player page. I can't remove this issue, even flash a firmware didn't help me. Also I can tell you, that before i notice that, my girlfried used my phone and install some games "from unknow sources", not from Google Play.
Anyone could help me to get rid out of this problem?
And sorry for my bad English... I have hope, that you can understand me
EDIT:
I forget to write, that I use Wi-Fi connection, and I didn't try 3G. I don't have a data packet.
EDIT2:
Now i resolve the problem. It was my router, I have restored it to fabric settings and everything works fine now, but I wonder how it is possible that my computer wasn't affected by this issue.
Anyway, thread may be closed.
The upgrade option came up late last night so I did it, I'm on Bell in Canada. After update was complete I can no longer text message. I only have the stock messaging software. If I try to start it all I get is a blank white screen with the messaging title at the top left. I tried downloading textra but it was stuck in setup forever so I uninstalled it.
I don't know or understand how to root, unlock, or flash, nor do I really have the time as I'm crazy busy at work. Does anyone have a solution? Texting is all I do on my phone, it's useless without this functionality. Please help!!!
Hi,
Did you solved the problem?
I had the same thing after the upgrade.
After installing some other SMS apps and few restarts, it started to work but all messages are lost.
I'm trying to find a way to recover them...
Note : This is my Mom's phone. It is not mine.
The phone (Galaxy S 2) suddenly have popups of "unfortunately" notification that keeps on looping to pop out every time i tapped ok.
The phone get extremely slow and i cant access the setting or other ui.
Lets just say that the touch screen is not working. because i cant tap other interface except the notification area.
My mom said that her contact was saved in the phone but not in the google.
So what im trying to do here is, hard reseting the phone to the stock rom but i need to backup all the contacts and I cant do so.
I tried connecting to the SAMSUNG KIES but it takes lifetime to connect.
Any solutions?
sorry for my bad english.
