So, I have an unrooted i9100 with 4.1.2 Android version.
Before last night, everything was working fine on my mobile. The thing was I wanted to download youtube videos on phone directly and I installed an app for it. When I tried downloading via it, it stopped around 50%. I tried resuming the download and even restarting it but somehow (and I think each one of us, has seen it some time or the other), a download was stuck in notification bar with no progress. When it kept happening for a long time, I went to its App Info (download manager) and i think I forced stop and disabled it as well (don't remember what I did first. But I had to do the other since, the download thing didn't disappear from notification bar after the first move). After that, I noticed that my play store kept giving that "no connection - retry" thing and dolphin browser "web page unavailable, is your connection dry". But my wifi was working properly since I could easily connect to my laptop and work on it. The more ridiculous fact was that WhatsApp worked.
So, I kept looking for the solution online and there didn't appear to be anything similar to my problem. I did stumble upon a Cyanogenmod website and just found some words like never disable download manager because if you do, you might have to root again or something similar to that. When I saw that, I thought I would have to factory rest. So, I did backup of my data and reset it. The thing is the problem still exists. Frustrating thing is that for one, I can't surf internet on browser, nor download my apps I had previously (especially the paid license ones which don't exist in apk) and update them.
So, I don't really know what can be done in this situation. Do I have to root my phone? I don't really want to, because my past experience with them had not been good while installing new custom roms. But is it unavoidable at this stage?
Edit: I also remembered that I tried using mobile data to open play store. My connection was too slow to open the page, but the "no connection" was not being displayed in the home page so it might have been trying to load.

For the past two days I am unable to do any internet activities with my SGS2...
I can connect to the two WIFI networks at my house but whenever I run web applications, try the browser or anything connected, nothing works (Get a page not found error on Google).
The mobile surfing does the exact same thing, with Wifi on or off along side it.
I called my phone's provider and they had me reboot it ficve times with no change...
They then told me to call the Samsung help center (which just opened last week, for some reason, and has three people dealing with all the calls. It MAY take them three days to get back to me.
What the hell is going on?I tried uninstalling alll added applications and trying again, hoping it had something to do with it, but no change.
Any ideas?
you are not alone in this boat
samsung screwed it this time, I bought 2 devices of which one has the same issue.
You will be trying lots of things including FW update or whatsoever, nothing will bring the 3g of this thing to life, I noticed that I can make it breath some net, after taking of the battery/sim for a while, but then after some time it's gone again.
See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17927441#post17927441
Saamsung should be able to replace these devices.

Damn, so my only option is exchanging the device?
Greetings reader. I'm new to the forum but have been viewing threads every now and then, so after having read plenty of times that people should search before posting. I have searched and didn't find what I was looking for, so that's why you can read this now ;p.
4 days ago when I was trying to browse the web in college I wasn't able to connect to the wifi network or even open the wifi settings, so I reset my phone only to find the problem persisting. As if something locked me out of the wifi settings.
I'm perfectly able to access any of the other settings, so I think it's kinda weird.
Shortly after I realised I couldn't get to the wifi anymore my phone started to reboot itself automatically. Ever since that first reboot it just keeps rebooting at the same pace over and over again until I either power it off or until the battery dies.
The phone also get's unusually hot now. Not like, super hot, but definitely hotter than any other time I can remember.
I also get error messages since the problems started saying: 'Process system is not responding'. I then get the option to either force close it or wait. Neither seem to do much if anything at all other than taking away the error message. Sounds kinda critical if you'd ask me.
But so after all these symptoms started to appear I figured I'd just do a factory reset and be done with it, but every time I go into the factory reset settings, I put in my lock screen pattern and then at the last step (pressing the Erase all data button) it just does nothing.
I can touch the button and it does give the animation that it is being pressed, but it just doesn't do anything.
The phone doesn't freeze though, I can still navigate after pressing the button only to see it reboot again shortly after.
After that I tried to flash the rom, but for some reason my PC refuses to show my phone's internal memory in my pcor any sign of my phone's connection at all.
I haven't tried it on any other pc yet, so it might just be my pc, though I doubt it is since it was perfectly able to recognize it shortly before all this started.
The device hasn't endured any shocks lately or expsure to water or whatever, so I think that's ruled out as well.
I am running the stock rom, 2.3 Gingerbread I believe, and the warranty is already way over date (I think. I'll have to check that).
Any suggestions as on how to determine what could be causing this, or how to fix it? Because I really don't want to buy a new phone xD.

Since you've not modified your Sola in any way.
Give this official method a try.

Hi all.. I just got the padfone x a few days ago and I am noticing very odd behavior with the iHeartRadio app and was wondering if anyone else has noticed the same thing. When I first installed IHR it worked just fine. I was able to use it in both phone and tablet mode without a problem. Now whenever I try launching the app I get an error that says that the app has been disabled and does not work in phone mode. I went so far as to actually completely reset my phone and start over from scratch. That fixed it for a day and now it is doing it again. I made sure that the app was not active for dynamic display and it is not. In fact it doesn't even show up under the app list there. It does show up under my settings menu under installed apps. I deleted the cache and data for the app and it didn't change anything. I installed the iHeartRadio Auto app to see if that would work and it works just fine both ways. If I dock my phone to the tablet then the regular iheartradio app opens just fine.
Has anyone else encountered this error? I did try to reboot the phone, restore it, remove the app, and then tried installing it again. That was the worst thing I could do as it wouldn't even install again from the play store. I got an error saying it was not able to be used from phone mode then got a -10 install error and it wouldn't install. Very frustrating.
Right now it is installed but can only be used in tablet mode. Thoughts?? Thanks ?

Same issue, my first time opening the app with the phone this happened. Very frustrating.
Have you found a solution since then? Auto is better than nothing, besides I only listen with headphones.
Im going to see what happens when I message them.
I ended up getting frustrated and exchanged the phone for something else. Definitely a problem with Android on that specific model since no other phone since demonstrated the same behavior. Good luck!

The problem: The first 3 times, while i was online trough wifi on battery modus, it happened to me that of all sudden, the phone tells me, the docking station is connected, while i don't have it connected, not even have a docking station. And then the cursor jumps and it trys to play crazy until i cant operate it and need to close the phone. The first time when it happened, i saved my files and flashed the stock android 5.1.1. But it didn't solve it. The trouble came again. Temporarly i found a solution, i had to remove my custom launcher(i tried many! Also the stock one. The only difference is: Here i only have to clean the cache! ) while in safe mode and when restart all was fine. I checked with almost all free antivirus and antispywares apps, but there was nothing. It also removes allmost all icons after restart and then i have to install again a launcher and the icons will reapear and i need to rearange them again.
The best temporarly solution: After the 3 times, i managed to solve the problem, while leave it untouched and close wifi. It calms down that way without closeing the phone, don't know why. Don't know if its a security flaw, or just because i stay long on wifi. But it happens always when i browse the web and even with all browsers, stock and firefox and chrome. And then it continues to work normaly after i log in to my phone again, while the browser were i was surfing, i encounter as crashed, and i can go wifi again. I don't even know if its a hacking attempt.
But i just wanted to share this, it may help some, and i hope there will be a solution for this, thanks.
Hello.
My phone is only a month old, so it still runs on stock ROM, still Android 9. My problem is pretty much mentioned in the title already. Last night I was feeling bored, so I decided to go for a rubbing at ****hub, which is blocked in my country. To bypass it, I downloaded Tor because I don't want to tunnel my whole device. After I had my fun, I went to sleep and when I woke up this morning, the problem started. I cannot browse through mobile data nor WiFi. I can still browse Facebook, though. But other than Facebook, none. I can still browse anywhere through Tor and with free VPN, but I don't want to rely on it forever.
I've already tried "Reset WiFi, mobile & Bluetooth", but still no luck. Anyone else experienced this? My last resort would be to factory reset, but I want to know from you guys if it's still not time to Factory Reset.
