[Q] Problem after upgrading to Android 4.1.2 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Some days ago I have upgraded my system to Android 4.1.2 and since then I have a weird problem. There's a website that I cannot access through any kind of browser (I've tried both the default browser and chrome). Otherwise, I can browse through any site or use my Internet in any way possible. The aforementioned website is accessible from the PC, other phones (even with Android), etc.
Had someone else had this problem? Is there anything else (besides downgrading) that I can do?
Thanks,
Alex

do you use AdFree or have you modified your hosts file in a different way?

No AdFree and no modifications of hosts.
I just noticed that it works if the phone it's on wi-fi. It doesn't work when it is on Mobile Data Networks..

Orbot?

Hello, Im trying to use Orbot but my Ip doesnt change. It doesnt matter if I have Tor Everything checked or if I select apps to tor. When I start Orbot I get a warning that says "error starting transparent". (I did grant super user to Orbot)
Anything to do with an internet connection is SLOWED so greatly.
Anyone with any knowledge would be a huge help. Thank you.

What rom are you using because I am using ICS Omega and it does the same thing. It must be a problem with Orbots compatibility which is too bad.

Don’t know a whole lot about it but I read somewhere that Orbot's servers are just way slow.

from my experience with tor, it will always slow down an internet connection due to the nature of tor.
found orbot fix
What solved it was in setting first enable transparency proxy then choose your apps you want to proxy and then check off the use default iptables option and it should work.

That doesn't work for me. Still getting: "WARNING: error starting transparent proxying!" I'll see if a suggestion to use the Firefox browser with the ProxyMob addon is any more successful.
Sorry to here it did not work because my phone was doing he exact same thing so I uninstalled it but then gave it another try and it has worked since. I just played with those settings a little and it started working. I am using dolphin mini browser with success and my rom is Omega series 11.1 with latest SUCK kernal 3.0.15
Had the same issue, here is how i fixed it and have used multiple rom/kernel combinations with no issue.
Download droidwall from the market, run it one time (don't know if you have to do this but whatever)
Then I used es file explorer to navigate to
/data/data/com.googlecode.droidwall.free/app_bin/
copy iptables_armv5
now navigate to
/data/data/org.torproject.android/app_bin/
paste iptables_armv5
rename iptables to iptables.old
rename iptables_armv5 to iptables
reboot and profit.

In dire need of help (no internet after custom rom install)

Ive been going through the forums for quite some time now... just recently made an account since i had a little question
I followed the steps correctly (or so im pretty sure)
I now have it all set up and everything is running great! even hit over 1900 on the quadrant score.
To get to my problem: i have no mobile internet access, data access is enabled yet i remain offline and my phone wont connect to the internet.
Also i cannot log in to facebook (even with wifi) or sync gmail whatsoever or log into gmail for that matter... when i try the google play store it asks me " you must add an account to the device to continue. do you want to add one now? i press yes and then nothing happens... i try to sync my account to the phone and it wont work either.
I have tried alot of things and searched alot of forums im hoping someone can guide me.
Thanks in advance.
I have a galaxy ace and i just flashed a custom rom (cm 7.2)

Try another CM7 rom....Or u cud try the CM9 rom....everything works perfect on that!(xcpt the camera)
I've had this problem on custom roms before. Depending on what the problem is there are a number of solutions.
Search the forum for these and let us know if they work:
1- Often it's a modem problem. You can just flash your region's modem trough odin. This solves call, mobile data and wifi problems if the ROM was meant for a different region (ie flashing an European ROM, since my region is Latin America and needs 850/1900 frequencys I just flash the Mexican / Brazilian modem through odin).
2- If the ROM comes with some type of add blocker, hacked host file or firewall check that its disabled the first time you access the Store, Facebook and other sync dependant apps (and make sure syncing is enabled). After that you can enable the firewall again (if possible, keep those apps as exception so they won't get blocked)
3-Make sure you got your APN settings right if mobile data is the only problem. Since it probably got erased during wipes.
Hope it helps, good luck.

Google Apps - the apps by Google that allows you to use specific system apps like Gmail or the Play Store .
Because of copyright , CM7 ROMs will not include GApps (Google Apps) .
The only way to get it is by downloading online

TY all for your replies. But, i Wiped Data, Cache, Dalvik, reflashed Rom and Gapps, and the problem is still there.

It got broke by itselft, got repaired by itselft... i think it was a Google's issue, cause right now i got sync errors.

Are you using the same rom file to reflash or have you tried to redownload the rom? If you haven't redownloaded it, give that a try and reflash, your original file may be corrupt thus not allowing you to access google. If you re-DL and still have the same issue, try an older version of the rom or a different one to troubleshoot your problem. If you have the same issue with an older version or a different rom you know its not an issue with the rom but rather your phone.
I did not install this rom it's an update by samsung it's the official JB update

:good::good::good: I have solution for our problem Just : If you have freedom, you don't need to delete it to fix your phone,you should have a rooted phone obviously, simply download or go into file manager and go to etc/ there should be a file in there called Hosts. Delete that.
Google is now work fine , wifi icon is BLUE :angel::good::good::good:
Hi guys, I have discovered a solution
but you must have root
download root explorer
1.go to system folder
2.go to etc folder
search for hosts file, open it and delete all things related to google.
:laugh:
ok its and old thread, but maybe someone find this useful:
Enable automatic time in settings, thats all.
Any news?
I traded my HTC One to a guy and he is having this same problem. Can get cellular and data, but can't connect to google. Does this Hosts file thing work?
awesome!

[Q] google play - can't establish a reliable connection.

* I DO NOT AND CANNOT HAVE ROOT *
I am not rooted and cannot root as I have no pc :/. All the fixes i found requires editing the hosts file. I have tried deleting cache, logging in from youtube and factory reset.
I have a sgs3 gt19300 (unlocked).
Please help me , i even tried calling google. :s

Hello,
I think the best thing for you is to find a way to root. If you do, then you can use a file explorer app to solve your problem if by now you have not.
You may also look up several youtube videos to solve this problem. I'm sure one of them will help you.

WhatsApp not working on 3G but working on Wi-Fi

I'm unable to use WhatsApp on 3G, but it works fine on Wi-Fi.
So far, I've tried:
1) Restore to factory default, flashing a new ROM, resetting APN, re-installing WhatsApp, rebooting, re-insert SIM Card
2) Using my SIM Card on my other phone (Note 2) and it works fine, but not on my S3.
3) Calling my service provider -- they said the fault's not with them.
I'm on CM 10.2 stable. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I found this thread which suggests using another APN (may have to check with the service provider).
The apps you mentioned are all messaging/IM apps. Maybe your network is blocking them on data? This is more common than you might think.
