so here is my problem guys ... i'm using samsung galaxy note 2 for the past 14 months and i'm quite happy about it, but since i bought it i have experienced an irritating issue whenever i browse internet or facebook ( changing web browsers doesn't make any difference) some ad may pop up and some promotional apps starts downloading on its own ... it doesn't only cost me my data but also it pisses me off because every time i am browsing something important it pops up and redirect me to the promotional page ....some of the main apps are moboginie, c launcher etc... i have also tried ad block plus it does the job but i have noticed that whenever i install it my fb get stuck and stops loading pages ...
kindly help me if some one has solution for this or have faced same issue
and thanks in advance
Try to find the latest apk of Adaway(will work only if you're rooted) and use it to create new hosts(just 1-tap work, it does all on its own) and reboot. Your ads will dissapead.
Or if non-rooted use some browser like UC or Mozzila or any other which has ad blocking abilities or supports extensions

As per your suggestion I tried using uc browser, but it didn't work out... And I m not rooted so can't apply your first suggestion. Anyways thank for the help

First post.
Just ordered the SGS2, migrating over to T-mobile from (godawful) AT&T on the (godawful) E71x.
I've done a bunch of skimming here, tons of good info.
Question: is there a definitive, "go to" guide to get up and running with the SGS2? I want to hit the ground running when it shows up next week. I see some noob guides to Android, but most are quite dated.
Thanks in advance.
get titanium backup and ROM manager apps so u will be prepared when it's rooted. Get a proper home launcher like zeam launcher,etc.

I'd skip the other home launchers, I like the TouchWiz 4 launcher a lot more than those other launchers.
MOG is an excellent music subscription service with high quality lossy downloadable streaming music.
I like Opera Mobile for fast connections. It works well with most websites. I use Opera Mini when I'm on EDGE or GPRS. I use Firefox Beta 8 in the market if Opera Mobile doesn't want to work with a certain site or if I want to access Firefox Sync. Set your User Agent to Desktop with both browsers. Firefox isn't my main browser because it doesn't support flash and it's intensive in CPU usage but Opera Mobile does support flash and it tends to be easier on the processor.
Tunein radio is awesome
What are you looking for though?
I agree that tunein radio is awesome, it's my go to app for internet radio.
The first thing I did was a factory reset, I did it before I ever left the store. I waited until I got home and connected to wifi before I began my setup. It did not have the new market so after adding my google account I opened the market and closed it. I then turned my screen off and left it alone for 20 or so minutes so it could sync from Google. After 20 minutes I had the new market and all my contacts were there.
So I would recommend those steps to begin and whatever you do after is up to you. That is the great thing about Android, everyone is allowed the experience of their choosing!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
I would do the same thing as far as syncing goes. I also once owned an E71, I loved the hardware on those phones but not the OS... I'd get acquainted in general with Android for a bit, check out the market, and go from there. Few helpful tips:
-holding down the home button brings up task manager
-the option key (far left) is useful in a lot of situations. If you're stuck in an app but want to change it's settings or don't see the button you need, try hitting option!
-set up gmail and Facebook if you'd like to have sync'd contacts including contact photos
-if you use dropbox, go grab the app from the market!
-if you tap the home button and the lock button at the same time, it will take a screenshot. The screenshot can be found in the gallery under that name (screenshots), if you open it in there and tap on the image, more options will appear below so you can share the image with us for example if you need help with something.

My older sister has asked me about programs to block adult sites. The phone is rooted and s-off. I found this
Just wondering if anyone has used it before or has any other ideas

I use ROM toolbox and it has an option to block pornography.
Doesn't seem to be working. I'm on miui 12.9 build

This is a problem with Android, and it depends on how much the owner of the device knows about this operating system to say what it takes to make these "safe". I'm currently using mobifilter.com they sell you info how to use their filtered server and then its implemented through opera mobile (can customize the settings to use only three server of your choice). This has worked well for me.
Another option is to use an app: smart app protector free, protect the apps that you would consider harmful (market, browser, including the installer program) and give the password to someone you trust. This is the best way but also the most restrictive.
afo.com and cleaninternet.com are both working on Android programs, but I don't know that they are released yet.
Hope this helps
Edit, I discovered I'm behind times...Mobifilter.net has a app in play store. The app is free but you will still need to purchase a subscription and set up an account with them. Well worth the cost in my mind!

I have an other problem with Chrome and XDA (Windows).
Whenever I close Chrome and restart it, I'm logged out at XDA, although I check "Remember Me".
This is pretty annoying.
Maybe someone has an idea what I can do, I have this problem only on XDA.

No problems here, using Chrome Version 23.0.1271.64 m
I face the issues described here when I use Firefox 16.0.2 on Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit doesn't matter, same problem on two different PC's). The forum will reload the page over and over and over again until I deny to run scripts using NoSript for xda-developers.com. Using Google Chrome (23.0.1271.64m) there is not a problem.
Edit: Now Chrome starts to reload the forum pages over and over again, too.
The others are talking about desktop, not mobile. There is no App for those.

Same issue with Firefox and No Script on windows. I'd be interested in what is causing it if you find out. Likewise, I am enabling and disabling the MANY ad and tracker scripts running on this site.
A fresh profile of Chrome sorted this.No idea how.Same add-ons.

Whenever I hit the back key on my mouse on XDA in Chrome I go back two pages instead of one. Very frustrating. Does not seem to happen in Firefox.
My default browser is Firefox and I have none of the mentioned problems. On Chrome however the pages reload over and over again, just like described here.
Same problem here... Attachment loaded but UI messed up... And I couldn't add smilies... -_-
Happen on mozilla firefox too...
I have issues while using. Xda in browsers too,
But only in my home,
I cant even use the 2013 theme it gets garbled up
In my gf's place everythings fine,
I think it's your ISP, DNS, or browser extentions that is causing the problem

i've chrome and the page has automatic reload
i use ghostery, adblock and wot
Every time I come to XDA I have to sign in. This is the only page it happens to. (except the secure pages like banks and credit cards and such) But facebook, android forums and other chat sites work fine. How can I stop this. And yes, the box is checked to keep me signed in.
make sure ur browser has no setting to autoclear cookies (i dun know it has something to do wid cookies or not )

I think it has to do something with cookies. I set my browser (Firefox) to delete cookies after each session. If I close the browser and get to the site, I have to login again.
If I quit the firefox process using the task manager on Linux, I am signed in.

I use Chrome, I don't remember making changes, but that might have happened over the last upgrade. So I made a few changes myself, and I will see if that helps. But thanks for the idea's.
Am using chrome here too and it also happens with me
Will try the suggestions though

Funny, I got here fine. But if I use my bookmark, I will have to logon again. I think it has to do with Chrome.

ha same here
i bookmarked it as well
Same on aosp browser using bookmark.
What's weird is if I open a link in a new window once I'm on xda, that page will be signed in, or after a few pages.
I created new bookmarks but it's the same.
Well, the problem has seem to go away. At least for the last couple days.
Not for me, problem is still here, tried deleting cookies etc.

Hello. Newbie here. Sometimes I'm signed in when I load the forum page, but many times I'm not. It seems to me that it occurs when some time passes, but I'm not quite sure yet.
I have the same problem. It would reguide me to http://forum.xda-developers.com/index.php?nocache=1 after I logged in.
Same problem here. On chrome too.
Have XDA in my bookmarks bar and every time I click it, I will be logged out although I checked remember me on my previous login. Only happens with XDA, not with any other site. However, I dont have to always log back in again, if I flick through the website, on most threads it will show me as logged in but sometimes on some pages it will show me as logged out.
Strange
I am having this same exact problem. I can replicate it on multiple computers. Very annoying!
Hi,
We are 2 users on the tab s & we wanna use one same game (sims freeplay) but i did not find a way to allow an app for 2 account. The game need ~700mb & with only 16gb it's huge if i must download the game twice...
Any idea ?
(Sorry for my bad english, ask me if it's not clear )
Thanks in advance !
What Android version are you running?
Is your device rooted?
Doesn't the game offer different accounts? Maybe trough different google accounts.

Lollipop 5.0.2 no root.
Yeah, the game save on a facebook account that is connected on the device but it's not really simple to change the facebook account each time. And the android version allow user session (c.f: http://gadgetguideonline.com/android/lollipop/how-to-use-android-lollipop-guest-user-mode-and-multiple-users/)
So, i am using this but if i have an app on my session, i am the only one who can open this app. I am looking for a way to allow an other user to open this app.
Thanks for your answer
