All of a sudden when I select the Internet Explorer Tile from my home screen on my HTC Mozart nothing happens, it just refreshes the home screen tiles, usually when apps do this rebooting the phone fixes the problem, but not in this case, I cannot open pages from Bing or open links. My phone has been updated to Mango and I have tried to revert back to an older software version but on my Zune there is no option to reinstall the update. I dont want to factory reset my phone because I will lose everything I have downloaded and purchased.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Does it happen if you hit the arrow and select it from your full application list?
If it doesn't remove from home screen and re-pin it.

Thanks for the reply, if I open it from the tile of from the application list it still doesnt open, I have tried unpinning it and pinning it, opening it through links in text messages and through bing but nothing works, I have cleared the history and cookies but still nothing, I dont understand what has caused it.
In the hacking sub forum download my Supreme Shortcuts app and see if the two IE shortcuts open for you.

How do I deploy a .xap file to my device?
Do you have htc connection setup?
if not can you download it from the marketplace and run it?
You won't lose everything.. just saved games. You have to redownload from marketplace but when you click buy, it will tell you you already bought it and download it for you. You can see a list of what you have downloaded at www.windowsphone.com. Sign in with your hotmail id.
not sure what else to tell you from there.
IE will not open on my Samsung Omnia 7 too!

I have the same problem, like like you described. I was using my omnia 7 (wp7.5 unlocked, latest firmware) and suddenly i couldn't open IE, nor launch it from any app. Besides you, i haven't found anybody with the same bug...

you wont lose all of your purchased apps cause you can re download all of your purchased apps for free.

Solved mine on Microsoft forums, switching IE settings from "open in new tab" to "open in current tab" miraculously fixed it

I was facing similar issue. I guess I know when it started (but not sure about it).
I had opened Google Search app. I was searching some images. In results displayed, I clicked 1 image. It opened Internet Explorer. When I tried to open "Tab" from Menu to close tab and exit IE, IE was simply not getting close and it was opening continuously. I finally pressed Power button to switch off phone. After phone restarted, it wont open IE. After changing from New Tab to Current Tab in Settings, problem temporarily resolved. But I observed that while internet explorer is open and I open the tabs, it shows absolutely nothing, it doesn't show the tab for the page that is currently open or none of the other tabs that are open. Rather it shows Blank page with symbol to add new tab. But even new tab is not getting added. I tried several reboot on phone but somehow "Tab" thing is broken.
Hope this bus is fixed in 7.8.
(After I reset my phone, now IE is functioning normally with tabs working as well).
Has anyone else had this problem just recently? I noticed that a new app called "Google Settings" randomly appeared on my Note this morning and since then, Gmail and Youtube are no longer able to go into multiwindow mode. I tried using MW Manager to fix Gmail... but it looks really weird in fullscreen mode. There's just this huge empty space on the right side while all the content is squished on the left side, as if it's still in windowed mode. I have not tried MW Manager for Youtube, yet.
I am running on stock Jellybean 4.1.2 and I'm rooted. I have no idea what's going on, since I've only had the tablet for 2 weeks and I barely downloaded anything (just some apps like LectureNotes and Layer Paint).
Any info/suggestions is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Sorry I have no idea why your youtube isn't multi Window anymore mine still is but I did notice the Google settings app randomly appear this morning, I was changing the lock screan apps at the time when it happened don't know if that had anything to do with it?
Update: seems google has installed a useless settings app on all of our devices overnight personally I dont want or need this so I would like 5o disable it but it isnt a listed app in application manager.

Hi guys, I have a S6 G9200 dual sim version running stock 5.0.2; and there seems to be a problem specifically targeted to the Google Maps and Waze app. (both navigation apps in case any one wonders)
It would randomly (and pretty frequently actually) pop out of the apps and go into an easy mode interface (and keep shifting back to its home screen by itself should you swipe it left or right). I must press the home key to get out of it and return to the normal home screen.
When I tried going back into the apps it would pop right out and get back there. This problem occurs even when it is not in the navigation mode.
Already tried uninstalling and factory reset but nothing worked.
Has anyone encountered a similar problem? Or, better yet, have a solution?
Already tried contacting customer service but they are offering no useful information...
Thanks.
I've been experiencing an issue since the Pie update. My home page is google.com. I scroll down to the settings at the bottom (I'm signed out) and under search history, I check off "Do not save searches". This randomly changes itself back to the default settings. Nothing seems to trigger it. Sometimes it will be the next time I open the browser, sometimes it will be after a few uses. Sometimes it will even show recent searches, and I go back to the settings and "Do not save searches" is STILL checked off. Most times it's checked "Save searches" though.
I've tried logging into my google account, and doing it that way. Recent search history is paused, but I still experience the issue where when I click the search bar, it shows my recent searches. This isn't 100% of the time, but at least 50% of the time anyway. It's annoying. I've already searched that stuff, I don't need to search it again. I've cleared the cache for the app, the data, etc. Nothing seems to be permanently make these settings stick. Anyone else experiencing this? I swear I had this problem in the past, and there was a fix for it, but everything I've come up with so far tells me to either log into my google account and freeze search history, or just disable it using the method I'm using. If anyone can steer me in the right direction, it would be appreciated.
Thanks
Hi everyone. Recently I have been experiencing random pop ups. Either during normal usage of phone, or after unlocking. The pop up is black screen with x in left upper corner. It looks like an empty add. Looking at the recent app list it shows as camera app. The icon is different than the regular camera icon. It doesn't show in processes, at least not named as camera. Screenshots included. I don't have any additional camera apps installed, just the stock camera app.
Phone is Samsung J5 2017.
Android 8.1
What do you guys think? What could this possibly be? Malware? I did couple of scans with antimalware software, nothing found. Please any suggestions.

Yeah, that's definitely a malware. And it's inside the other camera app you didn't installed yourself (I suppose it's the one with the "Kamera" name)
What you can do is go to settings, then apps (or whatever it's called) and search for the camera app you didn't installed.
Click on it and try to uninstall it. I you can't then factory reset your phone to get rid of that (make sure you backup your data)
I'm not a pro when it comes to erasing malwares, but that how I do and in most of the case it works.
I advice you to factory reset your phone even if you uninstalled the weird camera app.
