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.

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.

Saamsung should be able to replace these devices.

Damn, so my only option is exchanging the device?
Extremely intermittent and hard to pin point problem I'm having with my I9100 and wifi...
I am using the Chameleon ROM 3.0.2 with Dorimanx 8.16, but this also occurred with Chameleon 3.0.1 and Jeboo 2.1.
This has only happened in the last few weeks, and there have been no changes to the phone or my home network to bring this on, and everything worked absolutely fine before. I decided to spend some time this afternoon trying to sort this out, and I've gotten no where.
On a fresh boot I can connect to wifi fine, and provided the phone stays awake, I can use the internet fine. But when I put my phone down and leave it to go into sleep, often when I wake the device back up, the wifi will be connected, but the signal icons will have turned grey, and nothing will work. Sometimes when this happens the phone will automatically drop and reconnect to the wifi, and others it will remain stuck and I have to reboot the phone. But sometimes this doesn't occur at all, and the phone wakes up and wifi works fine.
I have definitely checked the Advanced Wifi settings and the sleep policy is set to Never.
When this happens, the data connection doesn't take over, it's as if the wifi remains connected but somehow decides to refuse all connections. SMS and phone calls still work fine.
I have done several factory resets, and I am currently running the phone with nothing but the default apps in Chameleon 3.0.2.
I just signed into my Google account, opened Google Play to update things like Hangouts, Maps, Search etc, and I hit Update all, then locked my phone and put it down. When I picked it up again not 3 minutes later, all the updates had failed as the wifi had crashed(?).
I have tried another router, and it still happens. All other devices connected to either router have been fine the entire time (my laptop, desktop PC, Samsung Smart TV, Nook color with CM7 and an Amazon Kindle).
I have seen a couple of other threads about this, but none of them had any answers in, they were just left with people asking about it and not getting anything concrete. Is this going to be some kind of hardware problem and the only fix is a new device?
I'm at my wit's end here, it's driving me up the wall, I'd really appreciate any ideas.
EDIT: Being an eejit, I only just found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161978 I can't seem to delete this post, so I'll just leave my apologies here, please can an admin/mod delete this thread? I'll post in the other thread I linked to above.
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.
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.
I'm using a lg g3 990 model and I attempted multiple roots using various methods. I think at one point I decided my version was patched and attempted a flash using a program I believe infected my computer and phone. I believe my phone has a Trojan or something because every time I delete all the data from the settings menu a few days after I start noticing the WiFi automatically connecting just for a second even when the phone is in airplane mode and WiFi turned off. It also will glitch out the background leaving a black wallpaper along with it connects to various internet sites in the background (I saw them using an internet tracker) all seeming sketchy (None of which I have visited or wish to). Anyway I've ran virus scanners and Malawarebytes and they didn't find anything. I've tried hard resetting many times and the phone maybe glitches out and boots up normally instead. I've decided that the problem must be in the ROM because the problem keeps occurring and prevents the hard reset screen. I believe trying to flash the ROM again might work but I'm afraid because of last time I tried. At this point I don't care about the files on the phone and would just like to use my phone normally again.
