Are you running a custom Rom or stock?
Edit, also have you downloaded any apps or games recently? If so did it start after downloading a certain app?

Hi!
Try Wiping Cache in your recovery, this should do the trick
I hope this helps! Cheers

Wierd Web page problems after root.

Hey there, so I rooted my sgs2 a couple of weeks ago since then I have not been able to log in to heavily encrypted Web pages. For example when I try to load the log in Page for commonwealth bank to use net banking it simply comes up with the annoying upside down android bot saying the Page cannot be loaded.
I have re flashed the stock rom and unrooted but still no resolve. I even called my bank to make sure there were no network issues on their end.
Other than that I have wiped both the system and dalvik cache before unrooting.
Anyone have any clue whatsoever that could solve my dilemma?

Have you tried chrome? But if I were you, I would run an anti virus software that you can get on the play store just in case, especially when you are going to be signing in to your bank account and it is saying any sort of error.

[Q] Please Help! Unable to sign into gmail and playstore

Hi All,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 International Edition. I installed JIMBO_MIUI_V-2.9.21_SGS3_INTL on my phone and all was good for a day or so. Then I noticed that I could not got into Play Store. it would open but just show Loading and the circle would keep spinning around. I downloaded several google store apks from 4shared.com and tried installing them but nothing worked. I would still get the same circle and loading sign...
I tried re installing the ROM. After re install I could not even sign into my gmail account. It would just show "Signing In, This can take a few minutes" and remain stuck on this screen...
I have tried to install several other custom ROMs but to no avail. I have tried full wipe, factory reset, re-rooting using cf etc..
The only time that I can sign in is if I flash a stock ROM using ODIN and then update Samsing Apps... If I try to flash any custom ROM after that I am back to the same problem...
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Well, a few of the countries have recently blocked YouTube due to the recent controversial YouTube video backlash.
That has affected Gmail and play store on android devices also. Plus the YouTube app obviously. So nothing wrong with your device I'm guessing

I think that might be the reason. The other guy who was complaining of the same issue was from Pakistan and I believe youtube has been blocked in that country after that recent controversial video.
But still it doesn't make sense that this guy can access his account using stock rom.

All people living in pakistan have this issue and here is the only solution. Download "hotspot shield vpn" , install it and then start protection. It will solve all your google related issues, even you can access youtube

[Q] force closes everywhere

I have been having a problem for about the past month or two. i have tried hellybean, cm10 aokp all of these after aabout 2 weeks will start force closing evertyhing ive tried odin wiping my internal sd card format/system format/boot all of this yet im still getting force closes like android.process.gmail android.process.acore android.process.system apex launcher has stopped talk has stopped. all of this and i cant figure out the problem i do a clean wipe every time
Are you using Titanium Backup to restore apps & data? If you are, do NOT restore system data (especially if you're hopping from one rom to another) and just restore your apps only without the data (or simply download the apps again). See if that makes a difference.
Yeah ik. I've tried that before but I don't do that anymore. When I first started doing that EVERYTHING fierce closed but I've stopped that now

I am using the Avast one,
Works perfectly tbh,
But if you want protection maybe also put the WIFI on even if the device is in sleep,
or mobile networking.
Else you wont be able to track it back.
Also dont forget to install the Anti Theft inside Avast and register yourself etc etc.
But bro does it stay even we format and install new rom

Dont see how that is possible .
Wipe would mean wiping the app and its data and transmission .App would need to be already built in to a non erasable part of the phone .

Not much can stay if you wipe with Odin - but some stuff (at least Avast) can survive a "factory mode reset" (from settings) - most thieves will only do that.
Nope bro. In here thieves installing custom roms. So i need some app which go to system stuff.

I use cerberus and the best way to hide it is to install it under a different name as a system app and then hide it from the App Drawer. Even if you wipe your data it won`t delete the app because it is a system app.
However if someone steals your phone and it happens to be a power user who knows what CWM, Odin and Root is (like most guys here at XDA) then you have a problem and you can`t do nothing when that`s the case because when you install a new ROM over the old one then the system folder will be overwritten and your app is gone. Nothing you can do about it.
But luckely 90% or so of the Smartphone users are people who have no idea what Root is or what ClockworkMod Recovery is, so it would be really bad luck if you happen to lose your phone and it comes into the hands of a power user.

To my knowledge that`s impossible.
If you are really worried about theft, always keep an eye on your phone.
There's only a limited amount of functions an app can carry out, the function you seek isn't available my friend!

Just to tell u that on cerberus website there is a cwm zip and flashing it will move the cerberus app in boatloader partition....
So now it can even survive a mega wipe too...
Click Thanks If my reply was helpful.
yeah bro. I did it as above mentioned. (Y),,,,
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
The cerberus.zip mentioned above doesn't move cerberus in bootloader.. it just installs it in system/app so it can't be removed by factory reset. You can do the same by moving the cerberus apk from data/app to /system/app.
It's impossible to use a bootloader partition to run an app... as the bootloader is just a partition to.. boot the phone and choose which partition will be launched after (recovery, fastboot on some phones, normal booting, download mode and so on). After that bootloader is out of the loop and can't be even read from a running system.
