Hmm, this seems strange, as I'm getting this "1buy.com" homepage on my browser. Changing it to Google works, but after a few hours it resets itself. I did several scans using Avast and Lookout to no avail.

There are lots of malware that avast or lookout fails to find. Did you install any suspicious apps or 'cracked' apps?

None if I'm not mistaken. I already removed several apps on my device, still the problem remains.
Try searching for an app with a name related to "online search provider" in the apps manager and then disable it to test if the browser goes back to normal.
I did this and it worked with my Chinese Sh*t Tablet.

Greetings
I have a Xperia Sola and after the update 4.0.4 stock browser and optional chrome that i use has serious issues,
stock browser take too much time to load any site that i put (i dont mention heavy load sites that dont load at all)
but the sme happens to chrome, i cant find a solution or any trick.
Anyone has the same issue? Thanks for reading.
Try dolphine browser in the play store
Is it possible your phone or internet is too slow, stock browser is faster than chrome for me

You means now both Chrome and Stock browsers load site slowly?
If that's the case then maybe your internet connection is slow.
To check your internet speed, try downloading a file, and see what speeds you are getting.
Alternative browsers : Lightening Browser ( based on Stock), Mozilla Firefox

Internet connection isnt problem because i tried in multiple wifi spots and its the same. This happened after the the update to the latest version.
Are there any other apps that run fine with internet??
That'll help determine whether the problem is with those browsers only or ROM in general..

I guess you have DNS cache problem (and that probably occured if you didn't wipe cache/data, dalvik etc... after update to ICS).
You should try to manually insert DNS server parameters (best to use google --> 8.8.8.8 or 4.4.4.4 or 8.8.4.4)
Or try some of modding apps to make your DNS working again - that will required *ROOT*
Post here what happened, good luck!

Hi all,
I hope someone can assist me with an issue I'm having.
Like two weeks ago, I started seeing the websites I visit getting randomly redirected to a Adobe Flash clone website asking me to update my flash player. In a way that is harmless as soon as I press the back button and don't download their fake apk, but it is starting to get annoying. First the address in the address bar changes to tracevisit.com/files/smsp-2.html then it goes to flowinstall.com.
Is there any way to know which app is causing those redirects?
Thanks in advance!
Yes, it's happens in different browsers on my phone, and it's annoying.

Thanks but...
Thanks for the answer erdal67, I already had Adblock but it didn't solve the issue as I am dealing with a url redirect, not ads on a page.
Say I want to access XDA on Chrome, the site opens, then there is a chance that it will be redirected to the site cited before (tracevisit), which will then redirect to the Adobe Flash player clone site.

Clear cookies (don't allow them)
wipe data of that app (Chrome etc. )
Disable Java script, if possible
A log could be helpful

In ad block ,there's a option to disable redirects. Give it a try. I guess some app, which is having permissions to your browser is doing this.

I'll try this out and let you know in a day or so after confirmation. Cleared cache, cookies, and disabled JS too. Will be waiting for a result. Thanks!
EDIT: it did work, I also used the Pimp My Rom app to block redirects. It did not help me find the app causing the issue, but no more redirects for me!

Hello,
Well my friend has a Galaxy S3 GT-I9300(stock non-rooted rom). Now the problem is, since a while every time she opens Google Play it closes again without giving any warning or something. I have already tried deleting the data /cache of the app. Tried to install it again through an apk file of version 4.1.6. Also tried to reset app preferences in application manager. All with no results, the only solution I could think of now is to try a factory reset. She rather doesn't do that so does anyone here maybe have a solution for this problem?
Thanks in advance

Tell her to take it to a local Samsung support store. Or just reset it completely, it only takes about 10 minutes right?
True about the reset she just doesn't want to reinstall all her apps again. I'll just tell her to go to a support store then. Thanks for the response

Might help if you delete the account from settings, then delete playstore data and launch it and type account info again.
Don't factory reset!
I think I know this
Just try this : go to settings and app manager..and the all apps tab in that..
Scroll to the bottom...you'll see 1 thing is disabled.. Don't remember the exact name(sorry) .. But something related to installer..
Click on it and enable It
It should work.
Try it..

Alright, so I'm having this problem since a few months on both of my devices (Nexus 7 and Galaxy S3). For some reason, chrome keeps on remembering entrys of my history. It doesnt matter how many times I clear the browsing data, even clearing the app data doesnt work.
Web history and predictive search are both turned off.
Is there anyone that had a similiar problem and/or knows a solution? I attached a screenshot as example.

I've done that (as stated in the op) but even this has no effect. It might work for a couple of hours, but after that, entrys that were there before clearing the data, return.

Come on guys, he asked a problem about Chrome, if he wanted to just switch to another browser he would.
Clearly something is wrong.

Thank you. I'm using my local account, so no web history is in play. The problem seems to be rare, I have been googling for a few weeks now but I have yet to come accross a similiar problem (on android that is).

A question out of ordinary using the same methods as a regular PC... have you tried uninstalling Chrome and installing again from the Play Store?
i would recommend re-installing from the play store as well.
I have tried that, no luck though. I'll try and report it as a bug to Google, might get a response from them aswell.

I deleted some apps that I recently installed but I'm still seeing adds on my phone. It's not just in browsers but in places like gallery when I'm viewing my photos. The weird thing is I started to notice this when I installed adaway. But I uninstalled this and other apps but it didn't help. It takes up the whole screen and i have to click no thanks to install whatever its saying to install. Any way to find out what's causing this?

Run an anti malware program. These ads could be part of an app you installed. Even if you in installed them the ads stay embedded. I use Malwarebytes
