When I use the search button on my phone lately(past week or so) it's asking me to full out one of those capta things where you just type a word in a box. It's getting very annoying. From the same page it says this:
" Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot."
Anyone else getting this? I dont use this feature enough to cause this, maybe I'm being hacked?

Same here. Google shows that it thinks I am a bot. Says that they have detected bot-like activity from my IP addrss. Happens anytime I'm not on WIFI.
Same with me, nobody knows what's up???
What browser is everyone using, and what is the user agent set to?
For me it happens only if the stock browser searches, for example if I hit search button, our search via address bar in stock browser. Doesn't happen when I go to google.com and search from the page.
Btw, I'm on fusionV rom, what about you guys? It wasnt doing it till recently, and I've been on the rom for some time, I don't think it's rom related.

I'm on stock 2.2 but recently rooted. Been happening for the past 3 days.

On KI2 and have been getting it for a few days now, but only when using the quick search options. If I open the browser and hit google.com, it works fine. Really a PITA when I'm trying to use the voice search...
I am on Fasty 2.5 (2.2 kb1) and this started for me a couple days ago too. Only when not on WiFi and I use the search widget. I am glad I am not the only one.
Geeve
I had that happen this past weekend on stock AT&T 2.2, so I doubt it matters what ROM you're on.

About twice a day, when browsing with the default browser, it will lock up, give the one vibrate followed by two...stay locked up, do the vibration pattern again and then present a black screen. About two minutes later, it appears it rebooted but never showed the Samsung or AT&T logos...
Anyone else having this issue?

Has not happen to me.
It could have been the site you visited. Try Dolphin HD, much better than stock browser.

All of the Galaxy S phones experience this occasionally when viewing certain heavy websites like the pocketnow.com desktop site, especially if you get a few tabs going. Nice to see Samsung still hasn't fixed that. I suggest Opera Mobile.
I can vouch for the browser crapping out on any large website, this was one of reasons I switched from the captivate to the inspire. Used an infuse today and noticed the browser froze right away on anything with flash content.
I like the stock browser but I will try Opera Mobile for a while to see if it helps...it was my browser of choice on WM 6.5

If I remember correctly on my captivate there were a few development who had tweaked the browser.apk to fix rendering issues and freezing. Will have to go back and read changelogs on some of the custom roms

Well here's my quandry... I like the stock browser and I didn't have this problem with my Captivate... I am just really hoping that we can find a solution for this. I did reset the browser back to default settings and so far in the past couple days this is not happened... I'm not saying it fixed it but I will monitor it for a few days.
Side note however..
How can I make one of the other browsers the default browser and also where do I go to reset that back to the stock browser?
Thanks...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
If you're having problems with the stock browser just switch to an alternative like dolphin or firefox etc. Many improvements over the simple UI and limited functionality of the stock browser anyway.

I'm trying something different now... I think I was on wi-fi each and every time that the browser locked up the phone and rebooted... I am going to try to keep it off of wifi for a few days and do regular browsing see what happens

Hi I'm new here so i apologize if I have posted this in the wrong spot or if there is already a post about this (i checked and couldnt find one) Anyways, i'm having an issue with my SGS4G that drives me INSANE. It happens often. I will be texting or browsing the internet or something and the green arrow pointing up on the 4G symbol freezes. Once that happens im not able to do anything: send texts, load anything, use internet (pretty much anything consisting of data). I actually experienced the problem trying to load up XDA. Any help would be greatly appreciated guys. Thanks.

i encounter that problem a number of times on the 4g connection. using edge never experiences the problem and i can also remedy if i switch networks.
Are you using Mobile AP by any chance when it happens? I've had my data freeze completely after a good amount of use via Mobile AP. Other than that I haven't noticed any issues.
Whats Mobile AP?

G2x
Modded gingerbread theme
Whitehawks kd1 deodexed with modded green dialer,modded pull down menu (favorite color is green and favorite football team greenbay packers)
Read up on the g2x lately. It is having lots of issues for lots of people. Tmo even pulled it off their website due to problems with alot of those phones. Random reboots, screen issues like light bleeds and discoloring, and other issues. Some are happy with the device with few of these issues others have had multiple exchanges and still report problems.
They say the gingerbread update will fix some of these when it comes out. I doubt it will fix the screen issues tho. That just sounds like an LG hardware defect. Bottom line do some reading before jumping on the LG g2x bandwagon.

Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk
Same here.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk
I was running it for a few days, but I had to stop. The graphical issues and general unstability just became too much. It would randomly crash for no reason, and more often than not, it would simply refuse to load a page. It would also frequently take a good 10 or 15 seconds to even start loading a page after hitting a link. Stuff like that.
It sucks, 'cause the browser was really great when it worked, and the extra features like desktop tab sync were really helpful. I just needed a browser that worked reliably.
That's why its BETA. Need I say more?

I can't check this right now, since at work I get no data anyway, but I already installed Fast for FB as an alternate, and ready to test this out. If it works that would be great, the data dropping in killing me.
I did the same thing. I noticed my data crashed repeatedly while in the Facebook app. Uninstalled, created a homescreen shortcut to the website. Works beautifully.
Just did it, and it seems to be much better, thanks. Installed Fast for FB as my FB app.
I don't even have FB installed and had data drops.

The Facebook App, or the Facebook website through the browser? In my case, I've had an issue with both. I have since given up on the Facebook app all together and just use a bookmark to the Facebook page. Anytime I would get the browser blank-white page, I would force-close the browser app and log back in. Typically would do the trick.
I flashed the new ICS radio and I don't seem to be getting data drops anymore

I'm having the most random issue no matter the ROM. On LTE I usually hit 40mbp/s down and 15mbp/s up and every single app uses this just fine...except for Facebook. I have to use WiFi for Facebook otherwise only about %25 of whatever page I'm on loads. The WiFi in the house is 3/1.5 so nowhere near as fast as LTE. I've installed a few different ROMs, tried uninstalling and reinstalling Facebook to no avail. Any ideas?

I think it's Facebook I have had the same problem also with you tube but it's alittle better now
stripped apart rebuilt with Clean Rom&XdaTechnology!!!
I am having this exact same issue. Facebook only works on WiFi. If I am on 4G I get tons of authentication issues. Only half of my news feed and profile will load on 4G. I have used Odin and went back to stock, uninstalled/reinstalled Facebook, and tried different radios. I called Verizon about this and they have no idea what is wrong. They are supposed to send the issue to the network team and then call me back.
I did notice that Facebook thinks I am in Cheyenne, WY instead of Pittsburgh, Pa. If you log into Facebook on a computer you can look at your active sessions. It shows devices and locations. If I log in while on WiFi it reports that I am in Pittsburgh.
This is a very bizarre issue. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing the issue? It seems like a network issue to me.

I've got no issue with Facebook working over LTE/ mobile data. Maybe its an issue with the service in your area? If you haven't maybe try clearing the apps cache/data and relog back in

Honestly, the FB app is utter garbage and drains battery like no other. It's gotten a tad better recently, but your best bet is likely just going to http://m.facebook.com
