I have a rooted phone I bought from someone and it was failing the Samsung updates that came to the phone. So I installed Kies and was able to update the firmware to Android Version 4.0.4 using the computer.
The wifi is connected fine to my home network. It's just when I open the Web icon, it freezes and the screen goes black and eventually I get a message that says "Unfortunately, Web has stopped." I have to hit ok. Sometimes after that I also get a message that says TW Launcher has stopped working.
How can I fix this? The main thing I use the phone for is internet.
Thanks in advance. I am a newbie to the Androids and hope I didn't really mess up the phone by updating the firmware.
First thing I would do is wipe the data/cache from the browser app, and see if that fixes it. If not, you could try another browser, or try a factory reset (will wipe user data/apps).

Hi Folks,
I am having big problem now, recently I upgraded my phone to GB 2.3.5.
List of issues I am facing right now:
1. Can't download any apps from Market- it says "download unsucessful" eventhough I have much space and cleared app cache.
2. Kies not at all detecting my device firmware version, sometime it is not at all detecting my device itself.
3. If you select 3X4 keypad and tried to type something- its typing numbers insted of alphabets.
4. Final- not able to factory reset!
I am confused now, please help me!
flash again, then see

what rom r u using? upgrade from kies or odin?
facing Same issues
I am too facing the same issues since the GB upgrade.
Upgrade done through kies, Device never flashed or rooted.
Not able to install new apps (error says not sufficient space)
Not able to factory reset using code(*2767*3855#)
Not able to factory reset using inbuilt option.
Was able to reset using Recovery console but showed many red messages like "cannot access cache"
"failed to mount cache" etc etc.
Kies not detecting firmware.
Let me know if any of you have solved this issues.
I am thinking of going to Service center.
Flash via Odin guys...
Flash XXKPE twice >> XXKPQ/DDKP3/XXKPM/XXKPN
hi
on xxkp3 i hadnt faced any issues - faced issues after moving to dxkp9 and rooting/deodexing. After that i tried xxkph, xxkpq, moved back to xxkp3, moved back to xxkb3 (froyo) and finally since nothing seemed to solve the random restarts (i also ALWAYS got an "Internal SD card unexpectedly removed" error on ALL roms) i moved to ddkb2 and gave the phone to samsung service centre yesterday. i always flashed each rom twice and always did a factory reset/cache wipe after install
not sure what they'll do....the ridiculous chap gave me some spiel about viruses on android. that totally dashed any hopes i had that the phone would be fixed.
what are my options? thinking of exchanging it for a motorola fire (i need a working phone, and unfortunately ive gotten accustomed to android so need google services like contacts etc). Not sure about samsung's build quality in case this is a hardware issue.
Hello, tried finding a thread with the same issue but was not able to.
I did my first flash to a custom and the ROM flash went without any issues.
(TrickDroid for the S4 ROM)
Installation went fine, phone started up and I started setting up the accounts and WiFi.
Then when those steps were done the "update is available" screen came up.
There I have to choose data connection, WiFi only or any connection with the OK button at the bottom.
Well nothing happens when clicking the OK button and same result choosing either of the two choices.
Update available screen is the first thing I see after each reboot.
Done this update a few times before when phone has been reset due to updates and then it has worked just fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
EDIT: I reinstalled Trickdroid and removed my simcard before booting.. That way I got past the system update screen and am now able to use the phone.
Also disabled auto update and hopefully will not get stuck at that screen again.
Earlier today I realized my tablet reboots everytime I open a web browser (I tried both Google Chrome and the stock browser).
I tried to clear data, force close, and uninstall chrome, but everytime I do that, the device reboots too.
So I proceed to reset that thing. And here's where it gets weird. Whether by factory reset option from Settings, by wiping /data from recovery (both stock and CWM), or even reflashing the ROM with ODIN, the tablet will boot up, and show my wallpaper, all my apps, accounts, and data perfectly intact. As if I did nothing.
I'm running rooted stock ICS. Can anyone help me with this? I scoured everywhere and I couldn't find any problem quite like mine. I'm starting to think it's hardware-related and that I'm screwed. But I'd like to hear from you guys first.
Does anyone know why the Samsung update button when it pops up to check if there is any updates available. takes so damn long?
I clicked it one today, and it showed and prompted me to install the new update, yet when i tried to click it"Because want to save root i had to stop it to have it enabled" I came back to installing it, and it just hangs there swirling :/. Tried also FC - Google Services, and Clearing Data, then tried software updating, yet nothing.
It's been like this for the last 5 minutes
Any other way for me to reset and speed up this thing? is just stuck at "checking for software update"
Thank you guys!

simply because you tablet are rooted.
You can't receive OTA's. If you did, root would be removed as soon as you ran it.
Go to Sammobile and download the latest stock rom for your area... Flash with Mobile ODIN to keep root...
Hi there, I'm having a major problem trying to fix this and I'm tearing my hair out!
I did a hard reset of my Alcatel One Touch 983, but I can't get past the setup wizard when I switch it on. I get as far as trying to log into my google account when I get the following message:
The application Setup Wizard (Process
com.jrdcom.JrdSetupWizard) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
There is no way I can skip the wizard, or get out of it - it just gives that message and when you press OK it goes right back to the start.
I've looked all over for a possible solution for this but no joy. I've tried to reinstall the firmware by using the one touch upgrade tool, but it says I already have the most recent version and won't do anything. I've downloaded a firmware, but there's no recovery menu function on the phone that I can use to install it.
I've also tried to get into recovery using cmd, but it says it cant detect the device. I've tried installing different drivers, but Windows says it already has drivers and also won't do anything.
Can any of you nice people help? It's driving me up the wall, and I'm about to throw the blasted phone through a window!
u may send an sms to the phone linking to third party launcher. open it thru playstore(of course need to have data plan or wifi). install it & open the launcher. u could get past the setup wizard at least but gonna have to use only third party launcher only. Next time u turn off the phone, have to repeat the same
