[Q] Please Help! Fixing a Tablet. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having some serious issues trying to fix my girlfriends tablet. It's a Motorola Xoom running Android 4.1.2. The issue it's having is that even though the tablet is connected to the internet none of the apps (play store, YouTube, etc) will connect. They all say 'no internet connection'. The only way I know the tablet is actually connected to Wi-Fi is that the internet browser still works. This might be unrelated to the issue but every single website I go to it gives me the warning 'Security warning: There are problems with the security certificate for this site'. It's very annoying. Sometimes I will have to hit cancel 10 times before the warning goes away.
I'm hoping that this is something I can fix without doing a complete reset because there are pictures and stuff I don't want to lose. Since I can't connect to google play I can't back them up to am app like dropbox either.
I hope someone here can help me fix this, thanks in advance.

Okay well if anyone is wondering I found a fix for this. Somehow the date reverted back to 01/02/1999 and I had to go to the date and time settings and sync it with the network. Hopefully this will help solve someones future frustration since I couldn't find a single thing about this after hours of searching for a solution.

[Q] Google Account not working?

Hi everyone, I've searched the whole XDA, and couldn't find a straight answer for my issue, so I'm asking for your precious help.
About a week ago, I was downloading an app from Market, but the phone went beserk, and died on me.
I rebooted it, but it stop giving me access to Market / Internet.
I reflashed to stock Rom, stock kernel, you name it, I did it...
Installed various Rom's and still, no dice..
Created a new account, it logged on, but as soon as I rebooted the phone, same thing
I have a Huawei U8510, so I changed my SIM card to see if it was something with the x10MP, and voilá, I can access Market with my account with no problems...
What the hell is wrong with my Mini???
I swear to God I'm gonna make a brick out of him and smash it onto some wall...
Thanks!
BUMP
Sorry, but I'm really desperate!
I had similar issue... couldn't log into my gmail account.
Then I reset the phone from the configuration menu.
Then it didn't work...
This tests were sometimes with the sim, sometimes without it, allways with wifi
Then I traveled to another country, tested it again and started working...
But, avoided the screen turning off during the google login.

[Q] Google Talk shows everyone as offline.

I have a problem where every couple weeks Talk shows everyone as offline but says I am online. I know how to fix this easily by clearing the apps data then opening Talk again. But that is annoying and something that would cause people I know to stop using it which is a big problem.
Does anyone know a more permanent fix?
I have never thought to check with anyone if I show as offline to them during this time unfortunately since I do the fix to fast without thinking.

[Q] S Voice issues

Hi guys!
I have a GS3(GT-I9300) with stock jellybean(4.1.1). S Voice was working fine until recently, but now it gives "Network error" for every command. The same commands work in Google Now. Waking up S Voice with "Hi Galaxy!" works. I have spent a lot of time with Samsung support but they make me wanna cry, they're useless. This one guy suggested to pull out the battery for a couple of seconds, and after that it worked for a minute or so(can't see why, but as long as it's a solution I'm happy) but it stopped working again. I have tried google but came up empty. Do you have any ideas how I could fix this without rooting it(I'm not interested in rooting so please leave those solutions out)?
OK So it seems that having Adblock Plus installed blocks S Voice. Hope this will help someone else.
Try in another network carrier

[Q] Lost my latest software version, how to get it back

Hi, I've been trying to sort this out for the last 24 hours with no luck and need it fixed quite urgently
I have a Sony Ericsson Play, android version 2.3.4.
The microphone on my phone is rather strange, I can call people no problem, they hear me no problem but if i try and record my voice with a voice recorder there's absolute silence. This led me to backing up all my data and restoring my phone to factory settings hoping it was a glitch that would go away - it didn't.
So i reset my phone and it seems like it has been reset to a previous update to what I had before. I'm unsure of what update I had previously but one thing that has changed is that I no longer have the Google Play store but have the rubbish old market with hardly anything on it. Also my phone doesn't detect any of the apps that are stored on my SD (they're still there the space is taken). This is rather frustrating as I use apps such as Whatsapp a lot and I'm unable to use it.
Another major factor in my issue is that I bought my phone in the UK, had the updates done there and I am now in China. I plugged in my phone and tried updating it using the Sony Companion software but it tells me this is the most recent update (which it isn't). Same thing on the phone when I try and update it in the settings. I tried using a VPN on both my phone and laptop and 'locating myself' in the UK but it still says this is the latest update.
Can anyone offer any solution or advice that could help me regain what I had before. I've been searching all over the internet trying to find a solution with no luck.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer I really appreciate. Any questions just ask. Step by step solution would be excellent

Redirecting from google.com to fake Flash Player page

Hello everyone,
I have got a big problem. Yesterday, my phone have started to redirect from google.com and facebook.com pages to fake Flash Player page. I can't remove this issue, even flash a firmware didn't help me. Also I can tell you, that before i notice that, my girlfried used my phone and install some games "from unknow sources", not from Google Play.
Anyone could help me to get rid out of this problem?
And sorry for my bad English... I have hope, that you can understand me
EDIT:
I forget to write, that I use Wi-Fi connection, and I didn't try 3G. I don't have a data packet.
EDIT2:
Now i resolve the problem. It was my router, I have restored it to fabric settings and everything works fine now, but I wonder how it is possible that my computer wasn't affected by this issue.
Anyway, thread may be closed.
