As the title suggests, I've been seeing some random glitches when viewing XDA, mostly random icons from the site in wrong places, but recently it got really bad: PICTURE
Anyone know what's up w/that? I have rebooted, cleared internet caches, etc. but it still randomly happens.
To be honest, we've never seen an issue like that one or heard any reports of any.
Can you give us some info on what Operating System, Web Browser, and ISP your using?
Indeed...looks more like a local issue on your computer. Has it happened on any other sites?
I'm on Vista, Firefox 3.6.23, & At&t. I've seen it happen a few times before but it hasn't stuck w/a specific site as much as it has w/Xda lately.
I'll troubleshoot my setup some more. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi all,
Wondered if anyone else had this problem occur or knows what is causing it, browser was fine yesterday, but this morning when starting to type in the search box on google mobile search page the characters appear, then after about a second they get hidden with a dot, like I am entering a password or something like in the attached screenshot, and it's really starting to annoy me.
It's ok if I switch to one of the other available searches like image or places search, only happening on the web search page.
I've tried switching to a different keyboard, clearing all histories/caches etc, and it's still doing it, any ideas anyone ?
same problem here..it appeared after i flashed a new ROM (RCMix S v09)..not a big problem though, since theres a search button on the desire...but still wondering what causes this bug
use opera it is way better than embedded browser
Thanks Salahfathi, not after another browser though, don't use it enough to warrant installing another one, I find the original one perfect for my use, would just like to get rid of the little annoyance in the first post.

Know bug, reported by other users, as well.
Follow the threads, they are working on a fix.
OK - the odd thing about this is that my wife started experiencing this on her unrooted, stock froyo wildfire yesterday. One minute normal, next minute like a password. My desire is not showing this behaviour.
Now that suggests to me something is happening that is not rom dependent?!!!
Update with fix [Thanks jayclapp!]
For anyone with this issue, go into your APN settings and remove anything in the "Proxy" field, right below "APN". Fixed the problem immediately for me + jayclapp!

Hi all,
Having an issue downloading anything from the android market on 3G. 3G works for everything else besides downloading from the market (browsing, email, sync, etc).
When I switch to wifi, I can download from the market perfectly fine.
I've tried a friends SIM with a different carrier, and it DOES work over 3G.
Logcat of the issue happening From what I can tell the error starts around line 50, but I included the full log in case it helps.
I'm not much of a developer so I'm just trying to determine why exactly it's happening, as Android simply spits out a pop-up with the useless message:
[App name here] could not be downloaded due to an error.
I have a friend on the same carrier with a Nexus S and she can download apps from the market fine. Haven't been able to test her SIM in my phone yet though.
I've found some others with a similar issue (although not restricted to only happening over 3G): http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=5a31588b6f655e89&hl=en
None of the solutions there helped though. I've cleared market data, wiped, factory reset, tried different roms, etc.
I'd really appreciate any help.
i'm having the same problem - using a galaxy nexus on tmobile. haven't had the change to try on wifi yet.

Glad I'm not the only one...
By searching pastebin, I've found a few others that pasted their logcats with the same issue, but I can't find wherever they posted it to see if a solution ever happened.
One solution I found was to delete / rename the .android_secure folder on the "SD" card, but I see that folder on my phone. I know dotfiles are hidden by default but I'm showing hidden files and I don't even see .android_secure from adb shell.
I'm on Mobilicity in Canada, which also uses AWS bands, not sure if that has anything to do with it.
I don't like bumping, but I still have this issue and was hoping someone could help out.
Sucks only being able to download apps over wifi.
I saw Josh Topolsky from The Verge has been complaining about this issue on twitter the last couple days.
www.twitter.com/joshuatopolsky
I've tried everything to fix it, tried different roms, kernels, wiping, factory reset, different SIM cards, nothing will fix it.
The 403 error indicates that it's Google's servers that are forbidding the connection...but I see no reason why they would, and it's not like I can change the IP address of what my phone is being assigned by the 3G towers.
Everthing was fine on stock untill i flashed revolution hd 1.3.1... I had the same problem with market but for some reason i enabled wifi and started downloading stuff from the market...then i turned it off and magic it worked thru att 3g...
I hope this temp solution might help you guys out or maybe it just worked for me
Ditto
I'm facing the same issue with a Galaxy Nexus (bought from Virgin) on Mobilicity in Toronto: market works on wifi, but not on 3g.
I'm having this problem too. With Orange in Spain.
But is not a constant problem. Sometimes works fine, and another ones not. When the error comes out I try again several times untill it works. If doesn't I whait to have Wifi.
But as I said it isn't always. But some type of bug is.
I got the Galaxy Nexus yesterday from Virgin Mobile and using it with my Telus SIM and Android Market downloads dont work using the mobile network but switch to wifi I can download from Market. I've tried everything you mentioned as well and still no luck.
I have noticed some delays in downloading but I am pretty sure it is becasue of the "little" 10 Billion Apps promotion thats causing the issues.. the market must be seeing a lot more traffic than it can cope with.. servers must be over loaded!
Try market at off peak times (worked for me)!
This theory syncs quite well with the 10 Billion Apps promotion.. just a thought!

Unfortunately that isn't the reason. It's definitely something more serious / buggy than simply too much traffic. It's been going on for almost 2 weeks now, well before that promotion even started.
Anyone feel like pulling a logcat and seeing if it matches up with mine? I'd suspect it does (403 Forbidden errors).
It basically boils down to Google's servers rejecting the connection for one reason or another. 403 error = The server is connectable, but knowingly refused the connection. It's something on Google's end, but I don't understand why certain devices are being rejected while others aren't.
Went to apn settings and removed the proxy and now i can download from market over celluar
Just wanted to confirm your fix worked for me jayclapp!
Updating the OP with the fix, in case anyone stumbles across the same issue.
Bumping up the thread but i believe it's for a good reason.
I had the same problem with I9100 after upgrading to ICS from GB. Talked to Google play support, their solutions weren't helpful (erasing cache and stuff) and they said it's a carrier problem. I used another SIM from the same carrier and it still wasn't working....
So.... Stumbled on this thread, erased the proxy and now it's working!!!
So, i'm bumping this thread so it will perhaps show up in google in a higher search position and to say thanks to the OP (besides the thanks button)
Hello, this is the first time I've started up a thread thingy or whatever you call it, so please go easy on me if I've butched this up or anything. I did a fair amount of searching before deciding to post this by the way.
The browser on my Telus variant seems to lose its pleasent smooth pinch zoom after using it for a while. At first I thought it was caused by switching the UA to Desktop, but tossed that idea after I experimented with the Mobile UA and recieved the same result. Then, I thought it could be because of the Kijiji website for the cause, and tossed that idea too after it happened on this very forum. Right now I'm almost convinced that it could be because the browser starts taking up lots of RAM, because everytime the issue starts, the amount of space it rakes in is over 140mb. This is probably wrong though... I don't have any technical knowledge on this really.
My question: Is there any fix for this issue? Or is anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks
i don't have lag 99% of the time
and the only time it lags is on those really bad pages with tons of ads and flash bombarments, or bad java scripted pages
kijiji loads fine no problem, however ebay some pages are a killer, but the same page also kills my browser on the PC, so at least that's consistent and you know it's a specific page or site issue an not the phone
Just got my GN LTE yesterday, and now I am seeing the continuation of an issue I saw with my Thunderbolt.
On the phone, everything is fine. But when I tether my laptop (Win 7 Pro) or tablet (GT 8.9), I cannot browse any Gawker family sites. Really strange problem that I have no explanation for.
Anyone else able to confirm?
Thanks
I can confirm. Same setup, the site appears to just time out then default to what appears to be a mobile version of the site's index (i.e. lifehacker, gizmodo, etc.). Sorry this is old but I just tried to search the issue today. Anyone have an idea on how to resolve this? Might check with Gawker support as well...
Also running the 4.0.4 update but still encountering same issue which leads me to wonder if it's something with their site.

Tethered with the plan? If it's not, it could be that the desktop version of the site flags you when you try to view it? Maybe?
I had forgot about this after there were no responses.
Just tried it now, and had no problems. Gawker, Jalopnik, Deadspin are loading fine.
I have absolutely no explanation. I know it was an issue more than once, but I do not use tethering every day to keep track of.

I have lately been having real trouble with ad redirection on my cm13 android. where more often than not most websites redirect me to sites like oneclickads etc. I found disabling java in chrome stopped it, but at the expense of website functionality. However this is a persistent thorn in my side in Feedly also, and in that there is no option i can find to remedy the situation.
I have tried clearing of data and caches, virus scanners etc. Nothing seems to find anything. I've now done a total wipe and reinstall of cm13, not doing a restore and fresh installing everything and the problem swiftly came back. A friend is having the same issues on her non-rooted samsung S4 also. I am at a loss for what to do.
