no Internet connection with firefox - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
On my new rooted z2 i've installed firefox. Fx worked as long as i used wlan and no mobile data, but i cannot go to the internet using mobile data (mostly, sometimes it works). i've tried all versions from 32, very time the same. My android version is 4.4.2 stock. Yesterday i made s factory reset and installed all apps new, the first was firefox. After that i tried fx and it worked. After installing all the other apps i've the same problem again. I dont use a firewall, antivirus or something like xprivacy. Maybe there is a problem with an other app? But i used all these apps on my s2 several years ago without any fx-problem.
is there something known about problems with fx on xperia z2?

I have the same problem, that's why I don't use it anymore! I asked Firefox but they don't answered yet!

Problem - browser user agent always mobile

Hello, I've noticed, that in every internet browser after changing user agent in options no settings are taken over. Means all the time mobile versions of the websites. How the hell make it force work ?
That's the website's fault. I've had the same problem on several devices and browsers. See if the website has its own full version link (usually at the bottom of the page).
It's not website's fault, becouse the same browser on other phone is working in desktop mode on chosen website, while on XZU website is still in mobile mode and clicking "full view" is not working on every of them (but the last part is irrelevant).
Well then it might be Chrome. There is no ****ing way that Android on this particular device will not let you change to a full version site, so try a different browser and see if that helps (Firefox, Opera etc.).
Works fine on mine with chrome and dolphin.

If you're rooted you can force chrome to tablet version, not user agent, but full tablet layout, that may work.

Boat browser is the best browser still for Ultra (ie:1. fastest.. 2. Clean Up And 2.menus and controls are all at the bottom of the screen). Which is important for the Ultra.
Also has desktop version.
Boat is having flash problems on this xperia. I've used it since a year on note 2 without any problems though. Tested yesterday every browser on the market, by none got properly working flash with properly working UA dekstop.
Will try forcing chrom if I find a tutorial...

Orbot working?

I cant seem to get on tor with this phone no matter how hard I try. Anyone have a solution if u have it working?
Same here. Was fine and now seems not to work properly. Non rooted on current prl & rom

Im rooted and on a stockish rom. There was some kitkat errors they were working through I think. It isnt fixed obviously.
Orbot quit for me after Android 4.1.2. I got no response from app developers and even installing app updates never fixed anything.
Get Anonify from the Play Store and use with the stock browser for anonymous Web browsing. I just tested the app on my N3 running 4.4.2 and I was successfully connected to Tor. I used the Anonify app a lot more on my old S3 though. No issues at all.

[Q] Is using bittorrent on my Z2 harmful?

Hi
I've been using bit torrent to download albums and paste them in to my Walkman player.
I do know that using p2p softwares can be harmful. However I scan my phone using the clean master app from the play store and the results are always "no harm found"
But for a strange reason my phone suddenly won't send or receive texts or calls. I have written another post asking for people help on that.
My question is could it be because of bit torrent and clean master can't detect it.
It is a coincidence that my phone stopped working properly after a few days of using bit torrent l. ( I have around 4gb of music on my phone that I've downloaded from bit torrent)
Thank you...

There is no such thing as viruses on android, 99% of anti~virus and security crap is usualy a placebo
Bittorrent is official bittorent so its safe
And the Z2 FW is a bit buggy, stuff can stop working so try factory resetting

Understood. I just reset my phone by using."back up and reset" in the settings menu. Nothing changed. As I have just read what you said I'm going to look into using Sony PC companion.
P.S is flashtool and Sony PC companion legit. Meaning will they mess up my phone or my computer with malware?
What's the easier and safest tool to use?
Thanks..
Haroon
Sony PC companion is official, it will download firmware through the app and install it to your phone. Flashtool isn't official but is trusted - although you do need to source and download the relevant firmware yourself to flash to the device (making it more difficult and maybe less secure than the official Sony software.)
Neither will install malware on your phone (just don't download it from a dodgy website).

Okay brilliant. That's helpful! I wouldn't want to take any risks on.my phone I've had it barely 10 days, paid.top price and it's already malfunctioning. Such a pain!!!
Thanks again

Well just a side note, quite a few of the issues with the Z2 are caused by google because 4.4.2 isnt the most stable android release ever and neither it being bugless
Alot of wifi,data and system stability issues are caused by 4.4.2 android not sonys rendition (of course sony tried patching)

Yeah 4.4.2 is pretty bad. Google should make a new update!
One of the worst thing of the 4.4.2 update is definitely the fact you cant move your apps to your SD card, unless you flash your phone. Ive tried apps like app2sd and it wont work on 4.4.2. Its so limited in how you can spread and balance your data. I have a 128gb SD card and have trouble copying my music and videos from the phone to the SD card all the time.
Damn GOOGLE

Yea that's a shame about the SD cards.
I just factory reset my phone using Sony PC companion to figure out why my calls and texts don't work and factory reset did not help... What a bummer'
What do you mean there is 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 I never knew there were higher updates for Z2 on kitkat 4.4.2

Lg G2 Mini Root+Bugs

Hi folks, recently I bought my ney g2 mini and of course the same day I rooted it to have full access to the device via λroot.apk. 2 days later my lock screen stopped working as I disabled via the lock settings, though I didn't. So I full reinstall the original firmware via my PC and the original LG TOOL+kdz ROM and after that u re-root the device. Some days later I had the exact same problem. So I did a second master format and I let the g2 mini unrooted and guess what. It works like a charm till now. Does anyone else rooted user had this bug? Is there another verified method to root the lg without any problems?? Thx!
Perhaps a root-enabled app or a virus is doing it.

Whell, I though so about some third party apps but not sure what that might be. Used to install busybox, titanium, root tools pro, lucky patcher and other staff. Maybe I ll try again some time soon..now I want to enjoy my lock screen ?
Whell, after a few days with no root, i decided to give it a try and re-rooted my phone. Today, i found my lockscreen desabled.. again! I have no idea if it's a virus or some third-party apps with root accsess that may affect my lockscreen.. i post a video showing me changing the diferent types of locking but nothing happens.. Any ideas?

I have had this kind of issue myself few times... Its only some of applications that uses root privileges_(most likely some xposed framework) Try to install one by one app which uses root,than u will see which one is disabling your lockscreen. In my case it was XIUmod for xposed

Repair via sony PC companion
Keep the device non rooted with stock everything.
This shouldent be happeneing unless your hardware is damaged or the apps your using are poorly made
I have tried a non rooted stock. Still the same. Crashes many times. The app i use are very common. Facebook, twitter, xda, all crash after few hours of use and i need to restart to make it work
