Hello,
I have been looking for help on this matter. Regardless the browser I use, certain web pages will not load. For example, when I type www.space.com I get a 404 error.
When I use MLB at Bat 2013, and switch for the standings page, I get an error that says wap.mlb.com is not available. Some other web pages, after I login they get me back to the starting page without login in.
I Read at another thread that someone recommended using a VPN. Luckily I have one. I connected to the VPN and then, voila! Problem solved.
I do not want to use the VPN, I used to be able to browse without a VPN with no problems. I do not know what happened.
Sometimes I have noticed in the address bar of the browser after I typed in an URL, that IT gets all wrong. For example, I Type www.space.com, hit enter and the address bar reads, http://www.space.comhttp://space.com
I have unsinstalled the browsers, clean the cache and data for them....
Anyone that could shed some light on this?
I will appreciate It.

I just clicked on the link (www.space.com) in your post and my browser connected immediately with no problem. Are you sure it's the Tablet Z that's causing the problem, not the router?
I'm using a custom ROM (PAC) with the stock Android (AOSP) browser.
Hello,
I read about router issues in another thread. The thing is, when I use the VPN I configured in the tablet settings, everything works fine, I mean, web pages load with no problem. I just do not understand this behavior. My wife has a Samsung note 8 and she browses the web with no problems.

This doesn't sound like a tablet problem, it sounds like an app or OS problem. My tab works just fine and apart from you, I haven't seen anyone else having problems loading web pages.
While it will suck to reload everything on your tablet, I'd recommend that you reset the tab back to factory condition. The first thing you do after that is to check that you can surf to the site(s) that are causing you problems. If everything is working ok, then one at a time, start re-installing all your apps checking after every two or three apps to make sure the problem hasn't returned.
If your tab was rooted, do that last after everything else is installed and working.
You don't include a lot of info on what version of android you are running, what version of tablet you have. Without much more info, it's difficult to narrow down possible causes for your problem. If you have a sgp321, do you have the same problem surfing while using your cell carrier? If your tab is wifi only, then this is definitely a software environment problem or your router has lost its mind. If no problems on any other connected devices on your LAN, it pretty much has to be a tablet software issue.
I assume you haven't been screwing with the bootloader or the kernel have you?
Good luck.
I did have WIFI issues with the custom roms (Pacman and AOKP) as well. Went back to Sony 4.1.2 and it's solved.
Hoping for an UI mod for the 4.2.2 now.

As dph3055 says, people can't help when you've not supplied some basic info - although I see from your signature you've got a 311.
Also, what happens on any other wifi router ? have you tried another one?
Thank you, Guys. I decided to backup the Tablet Z with Titanium and then I peformed a hard reset. Now the issue is gone.
Browsers back to normal. Yes, I forgot to add information about the tablet. For the recored in case somebody else encohnters this weird problem, I have the tablet Z 16 GB only WiFi, I am rooted but I have not unlocked it. I recently upgraded to Sony's update 4.2.2
I have not installed any custom roms nor kernels. Since I have not unlocked I never messed with the bootloader.
Im gonna see how the tablet performs and if I get stuck into same behavior will report back.

Hi Sax---101. I have the same model as yours & am having similar issue. Did you update to 4.2.2 before or after you did the hard reset? I just came from the Sony store & rep said issue would be corrected just by updating to 4.2.2. I don't want to update to 4.2.2 because of the major change to the user interface; I've been reading that hardly anybody likes it (including the Sony rep). I can't get the WatchEspn app to work without the update. He told me to check on xda forum for way to bypass the update (with a sideload just for this issue?), but I can't find it.
So.....did you update before or after hard reset?
Everybody else: Is there a way to correct the issue so I can get all the ESPN channels, WITHOUT the update?
aajj99,
As far as I know, this website display problem that you and one other person are experiencing has nothing to do with the firmware on the XTZ.
I am currently running .136 and have no issues with website display. The problem is related to the the apps & OS environment you have created since you began using your tab. A reset will fix the problem until you do something to break it again.
You don't need to upgrade firmware to fix this issue.

Hello everyone, I got the Inc4G on launch day. It's rooted, but still running everything as stock. One of the problems I've been having is that from time to time, some of my app assocations (default apps) will reset -- not ask me what I want as default (like when you install a new app or an update), but it just resets. It's happened with a few, but the most common is the "Web URLS" (which should probably be "Web URLs," now that I look at it) reseting from my choice, Dolphin Browser Mini, to the default Android browser.
Has anyone else seen this and/or have any ideas as to how to fix it?

I haven't noticed any of my presets change. I put everything to my SD card, and it stays. I don't use Dolphin, so it could be specific to that browser.
I have not seen this, either. However, my ringtones always seem to change after connecting to PC (as storage). Looking forward to root so I can put all of my custom ringtones in the system area.

Thanks guys! It hasn't happened recently, so I'm not sure what caused it. If it does start happening again, I got the idea from a different thread to disable (not uninstall or remove) the stock browser, so maybe then it won't be able to change it back to anything?
Unfortunately you cannot disable the stock browser without root.
I've had my app associations reset once already. It also happened on my old EVO 4G LTE (Sprint).

Yeah, that's not a problem. I got root as soon as it was available, luckily for me.
There's a bug I've encountered on Google Play Music that has been driving me crazy. Any time I'm streaming songs it won't change songs at the end and the clock ticks past the end of the song, as shown in the attached screenshot. It also starts repeating random sections of the songs.
I'm running Nottachtrix 2.3.0 and have tried wiping the Google Play Music data a couple times. Anyone else experience this or find a fix for it?
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
Yes! This is driving me nuts as well. I first observed it on my Atrix running CM 7.2.0, and see the same thing on another Atrix which is 100% stock, never been rooted or flashed, just the OTA updates.
Funny enough, it seems to only affect tracks from the Play store and All Access. It also doesn't matter if I stream them or pin them first. But, it has no problem with random mp3s that didn't come from Google, including the ones bought from the Amazon MP3 app! Haha.
Google didn't want to help me based on the "unauthorized" software of course, nevermind that the Moto crap they recommend makes the phone completely unusable. Anyway, maybe I can get them to take another look now that I have the stock rom doing the same thing...
edit: tried factory reset on the stock Moto phone, and wipe /data through ClockworkMod on the CM7 phone. Neither helped.
I'm having the same problems as you guys but I'm on the Motorola Photon. However, my All Access plays only starts skipping after the screen is turned off. I also thought that the problem was due to custom rom installation but reverting back to stock did not help. Wondering if it's inherent to Motorola Tegra2 devices...
For me this problem not appear.
I had something like this when using the librevox app.

I got some traction with Google Play Support now, they're asking for detailed logs. I will update if anything comes of it of course.
Any news or other users experiencing this? I really wanna keep All Access but won't pay for the service unless I can find a fix for that.
I would like to try to contact Google about it but I'm not sure where to go. Any suggestions?

You can use the "Contact us" button on this page:
Ugh, the forum won't let me paste a URL in here. Google "Google play support" and click the first link.
They weren't interested in looking at the problem on my CyanogenMod Atrix 4G, but quickly became interested when I found another identical Atrix with the stock Motorola ROM. They asked for logs and replied with a promise to work on it. I haven't heard back since then, though.
I am facing the same issue on my Atrix running M-ROM. Did you guys find a fix for this bug yet??

Not to "me too" but me too
I can confirm this on TopSmarts 1.3 Final, rooted (obvs) and unlocked bootloader+cwm.
Been an issue for a long time, but now super annoying because I signed up for Google All Access. If there is anything I can do to help please PM me.

I'm having the same issue on NottachTrix 1.3.1 and have tried every workaround I can think of.

Still an on-going investigation I guess. I'm am still seeing the issue and have tried everything as well. I get an email from Google Support every few weeks asking the same questions from a different person, so it's stuck in limbo somewhere. I've offered logs but no one seems to want to look. I'll attach a screenshot with the bug displayed on screen.

Same here, they seem to have given up. They did give me a refund for the All Access but that's small consolation, I actually wanted to use it
Hi everyone,
I have tried to search for a solution to my problem but I haven't been very successful. If anyone knows of links to possible resolutions to my problem, please reply with them.
I have an issue with the chrome browser starting with a completely black screen. At first I thought it was only my last phone (RAZR HD), but the problem is also present on my Verizon Note 3. If it were just an issue on a single phone, I'd probably ask in specific phone forums, but it's happened on two different phones now.
I'm presuming that the problem might be caused by an app I'm using, but the problem is intermittent so I can't tell if the issue subsides when I uninstall certain apps.
Any help or insight in this issue is appreciated.
Thanks
I have the same issue. Seems in my case its ANY 4.3 rom. It started after an update to Chrome around the fifteenth or so of November. It'll work but if I change tabs or switch apps it will turn black when resuming. Older versions of Chrome don't have the problem. I've gone back to a 4.2.2 root box rom with no problems.

The latest update to chrome doesn't render the pages immediately.
This would most likely be to open chrome faster.
However, users are reporting that they don't get past a black screen.
This is common.
Go complain to google devs though, not here. (The bug tracker they have)
Right on. Will do. Not so much complaining as just sharing with the OP. Thanks for letting us know its very common. My searches have not returned much information at all. Including Google searches and searches here and on XDA.
Thanks again!

I see. My RAZR HD was still on 4.1.2 and this was an issue there too. Thanks for the information.
Side note: I'm glad I wasn't the only person having difficulty searching on this subject.
sorry for the huge bump but if anyone was wondering my dpi was 350 and this issue stated when my Rom was changed to a 350 DPI. I used xposed and App Settings to change the DPI of chrome to 480 and no more black screens
EDIT(2 hours later):Nope it just came back.
I'm on an unlocked Tmobile S5 running on AT&T network w/ NE6 firmware.....rooted with towelroot but fully stock otherwise. No Xposed or any other modules. The only "rooted" thing I've done is AdAway.
Every time I try to load a web page that seems to have pictures or heavy graphics or even using the Facebook app on the phone, it either refuses to load or takes FOREVER. With the web browsers, sometimes I can hit the "x" button at the top and it will show the page (as if it were waiting to load the rest of the images and I stopped it....but it shows most of the page). With the Facebook app, just as another example, the text loads fine, but just blank spaces where the pics would be. Tried Facebook from browser and thought it was better, but only on the first part that it loaded....once I tried to scroll down, same issue.
I have tried 4 different browsers with the same result (stock, Chrome, Dolphin and Opera). I cleared Cache in stock recovery and seemed to help for all of 5 minutes. I have a Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 running stock 4.4.2 and no issues whatsoever....everything loads quick. I have an S3 running 4.1.2 and no problems either. This problem occurs with WiFi or LTE.....doesn't change. I tried every Google and XDA search I could think of.
Anybody offer any help? It is VERY frustrating. Screenshots of what it looks like below.
i have the same issue when google fails i go to dolphin yes it is aggravating.i un install them and then re install them but no luck.

You don't give us a lot of detail about your phone or browser configuration to go on but it sounds like a slow proxy. So more than likely your adaway proxy isn't working properly.
Completely disable adaway for a while to confirm. Alternately your carrier may have speed issues, contrast your results from a data vs known fast wifi connection then.

I don't know what other details to give that would be significant. Every browser used was/is used unchanged from the way it was downloaded from Play store, with Mobile user agent. My Wi-Fi typically is 30Mbs/2Mbs and LTE 20Mbs/8Mbs, and afore mentioned tab that works fine using that Wi-Fi.
I did unroot and seemed to fix it. If Adaway is my problem, is there anything I can do to address that? That is one of my primary reasoned for root. Or, is there another ad blocker available?

Troubleshooting is deductive reasoning based on observation, detailed facts and related knowledge. There are some astute members here, but none of them are telepathic, nor can they see the device that you are looking at. It would be in your own interest to provide as much technical detail as you possibly can so that they understand the nuances of what is going on and more effectively help you.
Pertinent details would include browser versions, proxy configuration, adaway build, carrier and city where you are seeing the issue, the results of disabling adaway and whether the issue is present on both data and WiFi connections, a logcat and any other factual details or observations that appear relevant.

In UK. Got the update on PCC, and installed it. But in the process, the tablet has taken owner account as my secondary email account (instead of the gmail account that was used before). I can't find a way to change it. Apart from a reinstall, anyone knows a way to correct it ? I tried deleting the email account from the tablet, and also tried adding the gmail account to the user data. It does not allow me to change the owner email. For some reason, it has taken the email account that I was using for Sony Entertainment Network and made it owner account. In the settings there is the option of Tablet setup guide option, that also does not allow me to change owner email..
The tablet is not Rooted and would like to keep it that way. Thanks

this happens sometimes, especially if you have root and recovery installed. Use pc-companion to update firmware.
Have to say after a few days of use with 5.1.1 my Stock (Non rooted)Tablet Z has never performed better...
Web pages load quickly , programs run perfectly, no noticeable lag, Bluetooth connections are quick and trouble free on all my devices..
Video playback from Vudu, Google play, Netflix are excellent..
Good job sony and thanks for keeping us in the loop...
