Its Rooted

Hi cesarcesar2
I've got the same problem as u, but I found a solution. U need to have root acces and a file explorer, I used FX File explorer.
So what u need to do is open the file explorer, then open the root directory, give it root permission. Then search for the map etc/
Once u found the map, go into the map and search for the file Hosts, hold your finger on it until it shows a menu, then delete it and reboot the phone.
Your internet should be fine again.
I hope this works, because it worked for me.

grey wifi fix
I had this problem aswell, wifi connected ok and the bars where there but they were grey. This first happened after connecting to a different wifi to the one my phone normally uses(home). I tried all the wiping and reseting to no avail. The fix for me was simple...... turn on phone sync.

[Q] [HELP] My default browser not working?

Hello frnds.
I have a big problem,few weeks ago i bought a sga from KSA which is unlocked.
But um from Indian subcontinent,now im here in Bangladesh the default browser is not working at all but all the other browser is working good.
Then i have update the phone using XXKPH 2.3.4.and no change,the browser still saying "WEB PAGE NOT AVAILABLE",While other browser are working good.All the oter service are also working good but not Dolphin browser HD(mini is working)
After that i used many custom rom and no change is there.
My present phone status is
PDA-S5830XXKPH
Phone-S5830XWKP6
CSC-not showing anything
Bseband V-S5830XWKP6
Build N-CODEROM.V2X-2B

Now anybody pls help me,it will be highly appreciated.
Here is the screenshot
Comeon,any one have solution for this?
Don't think anyone else experienced the same problem. Use other browsers then, the default browser is crappy.
use other working browser thats the best solution u can get.. as u have already tried all the recomended procedure.. may be it has something to do with ur carier.. and not a phone problem...
does any of ur friend have a ace?
u can check with them.. and if it's working with them, try switching their simcards to ur phone.. and see if's working or not..
If it does.. may be it's something to do with your carier service..
Thanks mates
at least you answered my q.
But my prob is still their..........
I have few friends with this phone and some with Galaxy S phones.
Just today my friend with Ace told me he has the same problem.
On Galaxy S phones this also happened to some of us and this fixed it:
1. Check if you have the "3G" or "H" icon in the notification bar.
2. Check if you have APNdroid installed and check your settings.
3. Go to Settings-->Wireless and network-->Mobile networks-->Access Point Names and then check if there is a blue/green dot on the right side of the APN. Go into that APN, press menu button and tap on "Save". If you have more APNs (for Internet and MMS) then do this in each APN. Now go back to your home screen and wait a few seconds so that your phone reestablishes the data connection (check 1st point).
4. Ace-Froyo/GB? specific:
In Settings-->Wireless and network-->Mobile networks there is a battery saving option, this must be disabled. I think this is an option to enable 2G only (saves battery).
This solution worked on Galaxy S phones, but on my friend's Ace this didn't have any effect so the Internet and maybe MMS too don't work.
Market, YouTube, GMail, Samsung's Weather Widget all work fine.
My friend will visit me tomorrow or in few days and will try other options then.
Like factory reset, upgrade phone, return phone to carrier for a replacement/fix.
EDIT:
Also try this fix:

[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] Please Help! Fixing a Tablet.

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] Can't transfer files from computer to phone?!?!

Hey guys.
I'm hoping you can shed a little light here as i'm starting to get frustrated.. Now i've seen various similar threads along the same lines so it's obviously a common problem and anyone who's offered a suggestion to the fix on other threads, i've tried to no avail..
I've had a DHD prior to this and done the whole rooting/ROM'ing thing regularly so quite used to procedures and what to do, but that was slightly different as i did it via the advanced hack kit.. This phone doesn't seem as straightforward to do. But about 3 weeks ago i bit the bullet and unlocked my phone with the intention of rooting and ROM'ing soon after.. Everything went well and the phone has been working perfectly, no issues at all and i've activated the developer option aswell and it's USB debugged box is ticked...
However, a couple of days ago i tried plugging it in to the laptop to transfer some music onto it, but both the two USB 2.0 ports on the right don't recognise it, i get the USB device not recognised message, anything else works fine in them, the only remaining port, a USB 3.0 on the left sees the phone and does allow me to access it, sometimes i can see everything straight away, sometimes i get a blank box and have to wait and the green bar takes ages to load along the bar at the top.. I've even had what appeared to be arabic symbols at one point where it should say Internal storage.. That confused me very much!! But now it won't let me transfer anything other than a single image file to the root. I did this as a test.. It transferred it straight away with no problems, but if i try adding anything else after that, it just hangs on the copying dialog box and either i have to close it or it does it for me a couple of minutes later with the "can't copy file" and "skip this file" options.. I've also tried it on the home computer which works fine but still leaves me with the same problem. Both are Win7 64bit.
I've uninstalled everything HTC from my laptop, uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers supplied in the fastboot folder which i was told to download for the unlocking process.. Now, i don't want to have to download HTC Sync as i don't want to access my phone via that, i'd rather just use file explorer and ditch the bloatware.. I'm not sure if i'm running the correct drivers and this is the problem, but i can't seem to find them anywhere.. P.S. I'm in the UK so this is the international version..
Any help would be great as i'm tearing my hair out... I know it's probably something simple but it's refusing to work..
Hey i hope this helps

Olrite so i guess you are dealing with the same i dealt with a while ago when i was on cayanogen mod 11 on my HTC one M7 International ... there are many alternatives to transfer stuff from phone to Laptop but first lets talk about the normal one
Method 1 which you should try is ....
* Download the HTC sync manager .. its ok if you dont wanna use it to transfer data .. just install it ...
* ok so now the important one .. make sure you have window media player installed on your computer ....
okay so why windows media player ??
Well it contains all the MTP drivers you need to connect your phone to your pc ...
* you can restart your system now .. (Optional)
* now connect your device with debugging on ... grab the notification bar click on USB related notification .. and choose MTP or something like that ...i mean don't choose HTC sync manger .. choose the other one
* Now if everything went well you will se your storage in My computer ... and in Windows media player too...
Method 2....
Well if nothing works then download an app called Air Droid ...
it have some nice functionality ...
you will get to know how to use it after installing it ...
by chance if the local link given in the app does not works make a hotspot .. connect your computer to it and open a browser like chrome .. and go to 192.168.1.1:8888
Note : port 8888 is pre configured in the app so if you changed it .. use the dirrent port you used ..
If you are not laptop is not connected with your phone's hotspot then your phone and computer should be on the same network ..
Good luck ... hit thanks if it works just to let me know

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to run through the options.. I really appreciate that.. Unfortunately it seems nothing in terms of transfer via USB works (at least with this cable, it's the only one i have so can't try another at this point) on this phone anymore, i don't know why the sudden glitches, it's been working fine since i've had it but just decided to stop connecting this last couple of days, so whether that's down to drivers or the cable being dodgy etc i have no idea, but the Air droid app works beautifully and i can now transfer anything and everything, it has such a great UI too so thank you for pointing me in the direction of that.. Without it, and you, i'd still be stuck.. So i guess i no longer need to worry about cables or drivers anymore so thanks again!

Omate truesmart problems! (Cant update, Ostore not working , time and date issues)

Hi smart people :good:, hope you can help me
I bought a used O mate True smart and i got it today. Its almost new other than some apps installed you couldn't tell it was used. when I turned it on for the first time i got a notification for an update. Current: Truesmart-20140328-1744. I went to settings>system>about true smart>wireless update.
It says that I need to update to a newer version (there is nothing written in the release notes) and the size of the update is 6.03 MB. when i pressed Download it says that there is an unzip error and it stops the download. How can I update my device and fix this error? its not an internet connection issue, I tried going online with the browser and it works fine.
My second problem was with the O Store, i presume that this is where I download apps I want on my watch when I start the app, it just shows me a rotating circle and it says "Data Loading". Its been like that for more than 2 hours .. like i said, its not an internet issue, i went on the browser and it works fine.
Third problem was with an app called Whats App (it was already installed when i had it). it says "your phone date is inaccurate! Adjust your clock and try again". I tried network provided time, GPS provided time and even put the time and date manually, still don't work
Also, when i try to download any google play app from the browser, it says "Browser is no longer supported".
this is really frustrating.. i cant do anything with my watch!
hope you can help me
