Hello,
My phone started behaving strange, but ONLY when I connect to internet.
The following happens:
1. Google Play loads. WHY ??? I DON'T WANT IT TO!!!
2, Some app starts on the notification bar - the icon is like a star. Once I click on it, it starts opening some page with the browser.
3. I'm getting a notification about software updates.
4. The startup page of "Internet" - the browser becomes some strange web page. I have configured a BLANK startup page. When
I launch the browser not connected to the internet, it shows me a blank page and it doesn't try to open anything. But once connected
to the internet, the startup page changes !! Is that a virus / adware ? How to get rid of it?
Thanks for your help!
OK, as nobody posted anything, again I'm asking the questions and I am answering them too Just in case that somebody ever has the same problem.
To stop Google Play from popping up, just in Accounts, disable all the synchronization options for the google account.
The problem with the home page was solved by clearing all the cookies, browsing history, etc. from the browser.

Okay so after plenty of trying to get Facebook's checkin feature working on Windows Mobile 6.5 using these methods:
Opera browser
Internet Explorer browser
Iris browser
Dorothy browser
XDAFacebook app
ZK Browser with Google Gears
what I found was... NONE OF THEM WORKED!
Finally I found that you can use Foursquare which will then update your Facebook for you:
1. Go to http://foursquare.com and sign up. On the signup page where you're asked to enter your email, etc be sure to click the Login with Facebook button
2. Once you have successfully joined, log in to Foursquare and go to Settings in the top right hand corner, scroll to the bottom and in the Linked Accounts section, tick Publish my check-ins to Facebook
3. Go here to download the WinMoSquare CAB
4. Install it on your device, ensure you have carrier data allowed, start WinMoSquare and log in to your Foursquare account
5. If you're somewhere random like your house or some other place that wouldn't be already entered into Foursquare then tap Add Venue. Otherwise just tap Check In. A list of locally-found locations comes up (the program uses your GPS to find your location). Tap a location then to actually check in, tap the name of the location again at the top
6. Now you can type in some words if you want them to appear with your Facebook update or you can leave it blank BUT for the checkin to appear on Facebook you have to tick BOTH Tell my friends and Send to Facebook
DONE, go check your Facebook updates!
Hi,
if I go to Add Venue, I got no keyboard for input.
Does it work on your phone?
Site seems broken. Login with facebook button doesnt do anything on both Chrome and Firefox....
EDIT: nevermind it is working now. Temporary error.
Seems, Mighty Lumpy .. ! '
Use MySquare instead of WinMoSquare. Mysquare is waaaaay better.
Hey, I have recently installed Facebook Application for my Tablet PC. It is working on 2.2.2 Anroid version and Facebook app version is 2.3
When I enter my info it says that Login failed and that the operation timed out (after I hit the Login button, the error appears after cca. 15 seconds).
I am using pretty good Wi-Fi connection to connect my Tablet to the internet, so I don't think that it's up to my connection. I tried already with clearing data, uninstalling, rebooting and reinstalling, but it didn't work.
Any solution?
Thanks in advance!
More info : I cannot open Facebook in my browser either. I can open the main page, but when I login, it won't completely load the website.
Goto app settings and clear data.
It could be a bug you might want to wait for an update.

I did it, didn't fix anything.
I figured out it might be because I cannot open m.facebook.com website on the browser, while I can open mbasic.facebook.com
Weird.
This is strange: Recently my Chrome app will crash 100% of the time I tap the search box to enter a query. The app itself will launch, I can change settings and make new tabs, but as soon as I try to type anything into search or URL bar the app instantly crashes.
The really weird part is, it ONLY does it if I use Google for the search provider. If I change to Bing, Yahoo, Ask, etc then no crashing!
Corrupt setting somewhere? I am running CM10.1 on an HTC Rezound and the problem has only been happening for a week or two. I reverted from Chrome 37 back to 36 and it still exhibits the same behavior. I wiped Chrome settings with Titanium with no luck. Is there a different underlying app in the system that handles taps to the search box that I can wipe settings and see if it helps?
Thanks!
I try to reload/refresh my Gmail app to get new mail. It tells me "No Internet connection. Retry." But I do have an internet connection. I can surf the web on a browser app.
How can I figure out what's going on? Is there a verbose error script/log created?
The sole suspiscion is that I've frozen an app that Gmail needs. I've been freezing apps/files (using Link2SD) that came preinstalled with my Samsung Galaxy Tab4, because I'd like to get rid of them, and I thought that freezing them is the first step to confirm that I (or my tablet) doesn't need the file/app.

Are you using an ad blocker?
Do other Google apps work?
Have the correct time and date on your tablet?
Tried to uninstall/reinstall the Gmail app?
Any sync errors in Settings / Accounts?
es0tericcha0s,
thanks for your reply. I figured out the problem: I had an app that turned off the Google Play store temporarily (and I guess Gmail too). . I removed that app and the problem disappeared.
Hello,
Xperia M5
Android 6.0
Rooted
No users apps running in the background. Ram is free. Storage memories are abundant.
But I am getting Unfortunately xxxxx has stopped for specific apps only.
Phone Dialer. When I try to pull out number pad for dialing, it crashes. . I have to save the number through 'Contacts' first, then dial. The 'Contacts' app itself works. I can browse through saved contacts and dial them. But when I try to bring the Dialler it gives me the error message. 'Unfortunately the contact has stoped'.
Messages (sms app)
Firefox
Naked Browser
Maxthon
Opera
Certain banking apps.
These crash when I try to run them. I have tried force stop, clear cache, clear Data, uninstall, reinstall. Nothing works.
They did not stop working all at once.
First the Phone Dialer started doing this. Other apps were working. Then after 3 months sms 'Messages' system app started crashing. Then slowly after 2 month one by one the others above mentioned apps started crashing.
Games, Audio, music, playstore, youtube, file browser, albums, camera, all these things are still working without errors.
I believe there is a specific reason for this, that you experts might know a solution to.
Please let me know.
Thank you.
Anyone has got the solution?
Now the Gmail app, and create account window that appears when i want to add a google account also crashes. I mean vanishes within fraction of second.
