I have the Sprint GSII, rooted, with stock rom, BEFORE the update. I refuse to get the update - had it and hated it so I flashed back to the rom before the ICS update. Anyway, everything has been fine ever since.
So my issue - proxy settings keep automatically adding themselves and I cannot access the internet in the browser while the field has info. The proxy address is 127.0.0.1. All other internet capabilities, Rhapsody, facebook app, etc work fine, I just can't browse the internet. This sounds like a redirect virus to me, almost exactly like something from a PC. You know, the virus that turns on proxy settings in Firefox for IE making people think they have no internet... This ONLY happens on WiFI, not on 3/4G.
I installed some software I didn't care for so I deleted it. I didn't have the problem while it was installed, or even for a couple months after, it kind of just started happening. I'm well aware that "something" is making it happen and got on there somehow. I don't want to hard reset as I've got a lot to backup, I do have mybackup pro, but I'm concerned that I may backup the problem just to restore it.
So that's it - probably in a letter too long, but that's it. Proxy adds itself at random, only on wifi, diables browser internet but not internet to other apps. Clear proxy settings, works fine until...
Thank you.
