Hey,
I have a weird problem.... Sometimes (like 2-3 times since i bought my phone in june) i search for something and then a pornpage shows up instead of the searchresults. I use chrome. Believe it or not, but i have never searched for porn or watched porn on my phone....
Anyone who can help me troubleshoot this?
PS! Please, if you cant control yourself and have to answer something stupid, then try to ignore this post.
Thanks
Could looks like network spoofing, do you trust your network provider ? I mean, are you connected to a free hotspot ?

It will be linked for the search results that you have used on your pc whilst logged into your gmail account
The tabs are linked between your chrome browser on the PC and the Chrome browser on your phone whilst logged in with your gmail account

So how can i get rid of that?
You'll never hear me complain about that!
Does an actual website show up? And if so, same one every time? Or are the search results returning porn sites?
Assuming it's an actual site. So you type in the search bar, hit "search" and the site just pops up?
Are you absolutely sure you are on Google when searching? Maybe it's a spoofed web address made to look like it that you somehow bookmarked... Or are you searching in the chrome address bar?

Yes and actual porn page shows up. Dont remeber what page, but always the same. I type in the search field in chrome (not at google.no page) and the page comes automatically up. The searchresults for the actual word is ignored.

Doesnt have to be a suspect app could just be one that has an agreement with an ad company to make more money from the app
I had some free moving wallpapers installed for my children.
But there actually is a lot of "extras" installed and not always cleanly removed when removing the app.
I ended up wiping the phone and start fresh.
OK thanks guys for quick responses Most probably an app that's causing it. Weird that they can overrule chrome's searchresults...

Nop, you are getting search suggestion on what have you searched. That's why I have the web search history turned off: https://history.google.com/history/?hl=en&ctz=-120
you can also out-out here: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/ or remove the porn websites from your "interest" list
are you logged in to your google account on your PC or laptop? and is someone else using it? If so maybe chrome synced search results from pc to your phone

In my case i got the result page before "hitting enter" So it was really annoying, but it did not happen all the time.
Could be your search provider??
Is there an option to change search provider in chrome?

Yep, there was a google maps update this morning for me and the widget is gone
it's mistakes like these that I think makes people annoyed at google.
Somewhere in project management they screwed up. Meanwhile they'll bring this back a few weeks later.
I know its so annoying as I use it a lot.

They won't be releasing the source code for Maps, it's their own proprietary software. Though there are plenty of API's to hook into maps and lattitude so I doubt it will be long before there are numerous widgets in the Play Store.

I don't think the removal of the widget is something Google missed, it's more than likely been removed intentionally.
Edit: It's likely been removed dude to the fact that Lattitude and nearby friends as linked into Google Now, which notifies automatically and has a card. Moving the feature to be an integral part of the OS rather than just sitting in an optional application.
Where did you get this information from? Is it just a guess, as I can not find a "friends" or any kind of Latitude-related card in google now?
If you want it badly enough you could just uninstall the recent maps update, I tried it and could get the widget back.

This worked for me, uninstall then reboot, latitude widget back and auto updates off for maps.
Any chance they will put it back in next release?
Try this
Here is a post from the Verizon forum. I haven't checked it on my phone yet so hopefully this is accurate:
Found it. The shortcut is gone and I can't find any other actual evidence of it but if you go into Google Maps and click the icon in the upper left corner it brings down a menu and latitude is on there.
My Latitude icon is missing as well, but there is a Latitude layer on Google Maps. My friends are still there, its just less convenient to get to.
Yep I think the widget is gone forever and ever lol I have gotten used to using latitude through the maps now

Well according to this post from an google emplyoee, It does seem the widget being gone is a fact, and only worth mentioning via a one line edit.

Hi!
I have a problem.... Instagram have blocked my device. Not my account, because I can log in to it from other devices or via the web, but I can not login using my device or even create any other accounts...
I have rooted S3 with 4.1.2... But I don't want to reset my device to try if that works... I don't even know if that would work?
On iOS there is an option of chaining some kind of keychain file... is there something similar on Android? or there is other options?
Thanks

nop... There is an solution, but it`s crapy...
I restored the device several times- installed other rooms and so one... They are not bloking the imei, but they are having some file on the phone, that includes the info about the violetion.
So the option is to reset the device to factory settings, install instagram,, opne it... Hit the Sign in button and then go to RAM clearing options- clear RAM memory and switch back to Instagram, but be sure the screen is where you must sign in the username and password and vuola... your in... After signing out, you must do the same thing when you need to sign in with other account or other one or creat new one... as soon as you pres sign in button- clear RAM and then sign in.
at the moment it`s the only solution I found, but have not been seeking for the option to find the file which is responsible for the info about the violetion.

still I'm really curious where instagram get's the information about being blocked from, since I changed my Android ID, even created a new Googleaccount and reset everything. The app "LBE Privacy Guard" says Instagram doesn't check the IMEI, but I'm not sure about that.

I tried this on my Android Device (SGrand2), just install app called IMAGINE for Instagram. You can google it. Or i recommend to download from onhax web with search keyword "imagine". (sorry i still can't post link)
Once installed you can login from that app not from instagram official app. And the good news, you also get some new features there.

Unfortunately even ROM reinstall couldn't fix it, so I guess Google stores it online, but I didn't see an unhide option.

Anybody got an update on this? I tested the hide option on my WIFE and can't get her back! yeah, I can type her name in and create a new hangout, but that's a lot more effort while driving than simply hitting a big icon of her face!

Unfortunately I didn't found an option to this. I think it's pathetic.
Me neither. I really dislike hangout. Beside that stupid bug, since I installed hangout even when I don't have any nerwork, I'm considered online 24/7 to people even when I just wish to be left alone and not be reachable offline. I checked there is a hangout/gtalk session that stay active 24/7 I tried the tricks to kill it with pilgrim but it comes back.
This is really uncomfortable. I sometimes just wish to be offline or invisible, I'm actually thinking of disabling definitely gtalk/hangout...

There is no readd because he is in my contact list (phonebook, gtalk) just hidden from the recent hangout list. I can send a message too and vica-versa.
It's not a big issue for me, I just think it's pathetic that there is a hide option, but no unhide or manage hidden contacts or something.

I just tried that but the ghost idle away session is still active even after disconecting from app. And l checked in gmail the other active session button and made sure to disconect them all. But I'm still 24/7 idle away. I hate that, specially right now where I really don't want people to see me or try to contact me. I have to block them so that they don't see me online it's pathetic ! Like hunfatal said. F... hangout.
I have the same issue and it does not appear that google implemented a way to unhide them.

This is annoying, I hate the Hangouts. Google Talk was much better.
Hello friends,
I wanted to alert everyone regarding what I discovered.
After latest firefox update I found out that-
Whenever I run Firefox app, it also runs Facebook app and facebook messenger.
Here is how I tested-
1) Kill the Facebook & Messenger totally by using the Force Stop option. For better, also Force Stop the Firefox .
2) Run Firefox again, and then check both the Facebook apps. You will see both the Poop-bags run back from the grave.
How? Why? I guess Firefox is sold out to Facebook too.
Now they are tampering the core too.
Yes I tried these steps, 3 times while writing this topic, to make sure whether my suspicion is valid or not. Yes it does exactly what I said.
Any one knows, how to stop this? (I know the solution some of you might give- Uninstall the Facebook apps.) . But before doing that
lets alert everyone and find out the solution, because this time Firefox is involved(sold out).
Which app permission should I disable to prevent this? (I am using Xprivacy, permission pro, app settings).
android 4.4 , Samsung 10.1 .
Thank you.
Anyone, noticed this? and know any solution?
You're accusing the Mozilla Foundation of possible illegal behavior. You'll need more than the odd behavior of one device to convince me.

Hello,
I am not here to accuse, I am here to get solution.
I use firefox since years, because of trust. But what I noticed after recent update is evident.
I have checked this several times. I mean everyday, before I run Firefox on my android tablet, I check which apps are running in the background. I kill them if they are there. Then I run firefox and check the running apps immediately. There you see Facebook+messenger, sitting in the background like thieves.
Did you try what I am saying? You will notice its not the "odd behavior of the device". but its the "obvious behavior of Mozilla Firefox".
You will see the same with Spider Solitare. Facebook is Targeting popular apps, or rather possibly Commissioning them.
What more should I test to check or prove that, or prevent that? is there any log or something that I should show here?
Thank you for reply, see you soon.
A lot of apps does that...
Even system apps..
Ex. In Samsung device's when you receive sms, Viber will also run..
When you use Camera, Gallery will run..
I think Firefox is using Facebook services, so if you use Firefox to log in facebook it will also sync.. not sure.
Separate note
Though im wondering that why its banned in XDA

As being banned means that it doesn't get mentioned. As for why. Because it's used to rip off devs, making it warez which xda is against.
As for the OP. Run a log cat and see what it is calling. This user maybe right. With everything so connected these days it is not odd for one app to start a service of another app.

Ohh... what is banned/or not being mentioned, on XDA ? The firefox?
What does OP means?
I already sent them email. I also used the option they give "take a moment to tell us ........" thing.
I came here because its obvious activity that I am seeing everyday, and if they are involved, they wont give any solution. You people only can.
And, login using Firefox is totally different than the Facebook apps login. Not related. I am sure this activity is no where near to helping us.
Do you know any Xposed framework module, or something that will prevent this from the root?
See you. thanks again.

Yes, whatever it sounds like, if you are going to say the same thing without even checking what I am saying ... or you already know it.
Ok sorry if it sounds like accusation, but Firefox is still doing that.... Whats next?
Thank you for replying.

I use neither Facebook nor Firefox on my phone ( i do on my pc) but loaded them up. I followed your instructions. Results: Facebook had to boot from the splash screen each time. I'm deleting the apps not and moving on.

Ok, thank you for trying it for me. :good:
good wishes for you.
Anyone else, please let me know.
SERIOUS now!!
Woww,
this is getting serious. Every popular app Spider solitare, Etsy, ESfile explorer are sold out! Their latest updates are starting services for Facebook. Woww!!
The Greenify and xprivacy mods given by users, isnt working.
Seriously needs a solution for this. Anyone?
I thought it's because Facebook is just set up to run all the time? You kill it and it'll restart on its own, regardless of whether you start up other apps or not.

It is. To be honest there is not much that can be done. Mainly with android M new feature of allowing all apps to check for root and disable features or the app if root is detected.

Hello, hey no. (I guess you are a non-root user). Actually I removed Facebook from the root with the help of Titanium backup and installed it as a user app again. I have also removed its startup. It never starts by itself. Until i updated these popular apps. Now they are rigging even more apps. I know, I keep checking the running apps through ForceStop it or app settings. And I have tried several times, when I run these few mentioned apps I immediately go check the running apps again. There the facebook rise again.

You mean, they are making it even harder for root users? How shameful of this giant advertising slutoogle.
But our patriot developers will definatelt come with a hit fix.
When I come to this forum, I sometimes need to go back to a topic/thread that I started to reference information but I cannot find a way to do this. If I click on the member icon in the upper right hand corner of the page, all I get is a login popup and no access to my account. What am I missing here? Thanks.

If you enter your info in the login popup, what happens? It just repeatedly asks you to log in?
You tried different browsers?

Yes, it does repeatedly ask me to sign in. I am using the same Opera browser that I have always used. And now, I am not getting any email notices of replies to my threads either. Thanks for the reply.

My best guess is something privacy related -- VPN, browser setting -- is blocking this. One browser I use (Brave) won't let me search in XDA threads, while another (Chrome) does.
Just try another browser (like Chrome) temporarily as an experiment. If it works then check your Opera settings.

Thanks for the suggestion to try another browser. Chrome worked just fine so I looked at the settings in my Opera browser and for some reason, this forum was not on the exceptions list any longer. So I added this URL and all is back as it should be again. Thanks for your help. Now if I could get an answer to my problem with making slo-mo videos.

I've had this issue sooooooooo many DAMN times on my PC. Using Google to log in. It's a pain in the arse! Download XDA Labs. Easier to login and stay logged in.

As an edit, on PC, the new MS Edge seems to login fine. Something with chrome gives issues?

Thanks for the suggestion but it was a problem with my Opera browser that I now have fixed. The browser had somehow deleted this forum URL from it's safe list. Once I added the URL back into the list, all is fine. I don't usually use my phone for web related things unless I have to. I don't even check my email on my phone unless I am away from home for a long while.
