Started for me last night. Normally I just start typing the first few letters of what I am looking for in there and it suggests and finds what I am looking for. Now it is not doing anything. It is not browser specific as I have tried Chrome and Firefox. Have also tried after a reboot. Anyone else having an issue with this?
Never Mind. I just answered my own question. I see there was a change to the format of the board to a 2013 theme. When I reverted back to the old theme the problem was solved.
Should work either way for you. 2013 or 2010

This happens when I'm reading in the Evo 4G Q&A forum. I'll read a topic/thread, then hit the back button on my browser (Opera 11.01), and a file download window will pop up, reading a different file name every time, but always from view.atdmt.com. I'm able to cancel it each time, but it happens nearly every time I try to "back out" of a thread. If I'm not mistaken (which I very well may be,) atdmt is related to ads? Maybe an ad not loading properly or something?
I've searched the forums, but didn't see anyone else with this problem. Like I said, I can cancel the DL, so I'm not too worried, but I was wondering if anyone has had this happen, and just thought the mods might want to know about it.
(By the by, my machine isn't infected with anything. I've run a full virus scan since it first started happening a couple of weeks back.)
Thanks, all.
A quick Google search shows it's probably malware on your PC. Have you scanned your PC for malware using something like Malwarebytes?
I've run all-out Norton 360 a few times, but I'm downloading & running Malwarebytes right now. I'll report back with results. Thanks for the suggestion.
Well, I ran Malwarebytes, and it found one problem in the registry (which I had it fix). Rebooted, opened the forum back up, and for the first couple of threads, everything was fine, then boom, another file download. Only difference this time is it says it's from ad.doubleclick.net. Again, I can cancel it, so I'm not too worried. Guess it's something I'm going to have to live with.
Thanks again for the advice, anyway.
These domains are safe but shouldn't be trying to download anything.
Does it affect you in another browser?
After futzing with the forum in Firefox, I can't seem to recreate the problem. Must be Opera having the problem with something. I just thought it was kinda weird that it only happens in that particular forum.
Soooo, yeah. I'm too much of an Opera junkie to flip around browsers when I want to read that, so it's something I'm going to have to deal with. Maybe it'll be fixed the next time Opera does a little update (fingers crossed).
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?!!!
Hi guys,
From yesterday I am finding the Google search behaving strangely. Any text entered are displaying it as food (like password). I am not sure what's the problem is.
I got this problem with rcmix 0.9, leedroid 3.0.5 , insert coin 15, then I came back to leedroid 2.4 which I was using and was having as a backup, but no change still same problem. I have checked this with default browser and with dolphin and with opera on all Roms specified above , still same problem.
Has any one have same problem?
Is it a virus?
Is something went wrong in updating roms?
Not sure why?
I request for the help from experts.
Thanks in advance.

My guess would be that Google made some changes to their mobile site, and accidently made the search box appear as a password entry box. Probably nothing you can do, it would have to be fixed on Google's end.
Also other people reported this with Stock NON-rooted phones and other devices, like Wildfire, Thunderbolt.

I agree with that, although it's odd some people have it and some not!
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.

Hi,
Its weird that there's no thread and nobody mentioned the market place issue on wp7 for few days ago i wasn't able to download anything now Microsoft have this app. (Refresh marketplace) to solve this issue but it didn't i have followed the step by step guide and it didn't help. now i have done a hard reset to my phone of curse i lost everything now i have installed the refresh marketplace app. again and still nothing .....any ideas guys on this issue?
thanks
I am also facing this trouble for more then a week.......
Searched a lot for solution but in vain......
If anyone had any solution please suggest us too.............
hmm, I had issues a while back but they are not related, I did however get that refresh marketplace app pop up, on my first attempt at installing it my original problem prevented it installing, that's kind of irrelevant though, after I fixed my issue the refresh app appeared once again BUT has since vanished without me installing it.
I wonder if this is an app that 7.8 needs and isn't quite ready for 7.5 or something like that.
I now have the same issue after reactivating my HTC Mozart after some time of not using it. I installed the "Refresh Marketplace" app but marketplace still doesn't work. Right now I'm trying the last hint before hard resetting: Restart, activate data connection and power plug the device for at least 24 hours while keeping the marketplace app open.
hmmm Strange. can it have something with the Windows Live ID problems that was before. some of the Windows Live IDs have also had some errors a while ago. Microsoft has a bunch of stuff to do now with WP 8 and WP 7.8 preparing. i think this is only a little bug which will go away in few days or weeks. but weeks is sometimes to long, i now.

Hi toolsche, did it solved your problem after resetting???
Was playing around with OSBuilder and the 8858 dumps and kept having what sounds like the same issue with every rom I created. Being a noob I figured I was including an unnecessary package or missing a package somewhere. Tried everything including the refresh marketplace app and changing live i.d. What was strange was the "icons" for the apps looked newer or at least different. Wish now I had taken a screenshot.
On my Omnia 7, it was solved with a hard reset.
Hardreseting is actually heart breaking......
Wish if some senior/serious member can suggest workaround....
I know many user are facing same problem....
