A500 - essentially broken w / ICS, game store does not

I recently tried using A500 old dad (which he has not used in the years since getting an iPad). Since he could not remember the lock on the screen, he performed a factory reset from recovery.

INITIAL CONDITIONS:

  • Always in stock, not rooted
  • Android v. 4.0.3
  • Google v. 3.4.7 play

The Tablet starts fine, stock apps work fine most of the time, but the Google game store refuses to work. What happens when the app is opened is:

  • 'Android Market is upgraded to Google Play'-> select continue
  • Charge for a while, then invite the acceptance or the decliniation of the terms of service.
    • Clicking on accept always leads to "Unfortunately, Google play store has stopped."
    • The decline gives the obvious result (closing store Play).

Proposed solutions to this problem (given by other threads) include do a factory reset (in fact twice), empty the cache (no), erases data from the app (nada) or uninstall updates (no option to do so). Nothing has worked.

Curious to know if this could be corrected with an update of the system, I tried to perform a system update, which I get the message "the network coverage is currently low, get better coverage to continue my friend." I guess it's either because:

  • Acer pulled their support ICS for the device
  • My camera is already at the limit to update.

Whatever it is, I can't solve these problems. I'd rather not install manually the apps that I want to the apk, but to do this, I guess I have to downgrade to the honeycomb. But to do this, I got to the root of the device (which is against the will of my father).

TL; DR:

  • Game store will not open at all, after accepting the terms of use.
  • Some other applications do not work fully (e.g. YouTube - opens and searches, not loading videos, updates to the app redirection leads to the first problem)
  • I guess this is due to the failed release of ICS on the A500.
  • Would rather not use the manual install APK / rooting the device.
  • Any suggestions?

    my browser cannot open google and facebook and other https sites that it does not open even the app store does not work, I tried to change my DNS google DNS and disable IPv6 but still no use, help PLZ!

    You may have installed one or more variants of the malware "VSearch' ad-injection. Please back up all data, and then take the steps below to disable it.

    Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

    Malware is constantly evolving to work around defenses against it. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.

    Step 1

    VSearch malware tries to hide by varying names of the files it installs. It regenerates itself also if you try to remove it when it is run. To remove it, you must first start in safe mode temporarily disable the malware.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for other instructions.

    Step 2

    When running in safe mode, load the web page and then triple - click on the line below to select. Copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons

    In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" can open. If this is the case, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.

    There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. Please don't skip this step. Files that belong to an instance of VSearch will have the same date of change for a few minutes, then they will be grouped together when you sort the folder this way, which makes them easy to identify.

    Step 3

    In the LaunchDaemons folder, there may be one or more files with the name of this form:

    com Apple.something.plist

    When something is a random string, without the letters, different in each case.

    Note that the name consists of four words separated by dots. Typical examples are:

    com Apple.builins.plist

    com Apple.cereng.plist

    com Apple.nysgar.plist

    There may be one or more items with a name of the form:

    com.something.plist

    Yet once something is a random string, without meaning - not necessarily the same as that which appears in one of the other file names.

    These names consist of three words separated by dots. Typical examples are:

    com.semifasciaUpd.plist

    com.ubuiling.plist

    Sometimes there are items (usually not more than one) with the name of this form:

    com.something .net - preferences.plist

    This name consists of four words (the third hyphen) separated by periods. Typical example:

    com.jangly .net - preferences.plist

    Drag all items in the basket. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

    Restart the computer and empty the trash.

    Examples of legitimate files located in the same folder:

    com.apple.FinalCutServer.fcsvr_ldsd.plist

    com Apple.Installer.osmessagetracing.plist

    com Apple.Qmaster.qmasterd.plist

    com Apple.aelwriter.plist

    com Apple.SERVERD.plist

    com Tether.plist

    The first three are clearly not VSearch files because the names do not match the above models. The last three are not easy to distinguish by the name alone, but the modification date will be earlier than the date at which VSearch has been installed, perhaps several years. None of these files will be present in most installations of Mac OS X.

    Do not delete the folder 'LaunchDaemons' or anything else inside, unless you know you have another type of unwanted software and more VSearch. The file is a normal part of Mac OS X. The "demon" refers to a program that starts automatically. This is not inherently bad, but the mechanism is sometimes exploited by hackers for malicious software.

    If you are not sure whether a file is part of the malware, order the contents of the folder by date modified I wrote in step 2, no name. Malicious files will be grouped together. There could be more than one such group, if you attacked more than once. A file dated far in the past is not part of the malware. A folder in date dated Middle an obviously malicious cluster is almost certainly too malicious.

    If the files come back after you remove the, they are replaced by others with similar names, then either you didn't start in safe mode or you do not have all the. Return to step 1 and try again.

    Step 4

    Reset the home page in each of your browsers, if it has been modified. In Safari, first load the desired home page, then select

    ▹ Safari preferences... ▹ General

    and click on

    Set on the current Page

    If you use Firefox or Chrome web browser, remove the extensions or add-ons that you don't know that you need. When in doubt, remove all of them.

    The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you reinstall it never. A few small files will be left behind, but they have no effect, and trying to find all them is more trouble that it's worth.

    Step 5

    The malware lets the web proxy discovery in the network settings. If you know that the setting was already enabled for a reason, skip this step. Otherwise, you should undo the change.

    Open the network pane in system preferences. If there is a padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window, click it and authenticate to unlock the settings. Click the Advanced button, and then select Proxies in the sheet that drops down. Uncheck that Auto Discovery Proxy if it is checked. Click OK, and then apply.

    Step 6

    This step is optional. Open the users and groups in the system preferences and click on the lock icon to unlock the settings. In the list of users, there may be some with random names that have been added by the malware. You can remove these users. If you are not sure whether a user is legitimate, do not delete it.

  • App Store does not work

    Dear Apple, personal,

    My App Store does not work. I'm not sure but I think since I upgraded my iOS version 9.3 the App Store has stopped working. I mean I tried to download several apps and their icons still display the word "pending"... It doesn't matter if I'm with a Wi - fi or cellular... It just doesn't... I have an iPhone 6 (bought on March 2016 in Houston - TX). Please, help me to solve this problem. Thank you very much. Paola Pereira.

    Have you ever tried to force restart the phone after the update into the button sleep and home for 10 seconds, until the Apple logo comes back again?

    You won't lose data, but force the reboot can cure some problems after installing new software or applications.

    Also try logging out of your account in the settings/iTunes and AppStore, reboot the phone and you log in again.

    In the event that you have implemented in settings/general/Restrictions of restrictions, turn them off and try again to update or download your applications.

  • the sims3 game laucher does not open to play

    I played the sims3 for several months, and now the game Launcher does not open to play the game. He won't go to the black screen before the green diamonds came then go to my office. Now, it stays black. I uninstalled and reinstalled but still the same thing. I played on my daughters account one day and the next day, he would not come. Been in contact with important and done what they suggest, but still does not work. Now, I can't even uninstall the game to reinstall. I use windows vista, would be the problem and why after 2 months of game would it start? Any ideas with this?

    anything that claims to speed up your computer or clean any kind of unused garbage settings etc etc files will usually be more harm than good.

    update your video drivers and if that doesn't help, try to reinstall the game and install updates for the game, if there is.

  • Windows store does not open (windows 8)

    So I've recently refreshed my laptop running Windows 8.1 and after refresh, he returned to windows 8. But now all gone metro apps and windows store does not open. When I click it, nothing happens.

    I tried various fixes, nothing worked! Help, please! My main concern is to upgrade to windows 10!  Right now I'm stuck with windows 8

    IM using the HP envy m6 laptop.

    Hi Alain,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    When you do a Refresh: Applications that you have installed Web sites and DVD is deleted. The applications provided with your PC and applications that you have installed in the Windows store will be resettled. Windows puts a list of apps removed on your desktop after you refresh your PC.

    Because you want to upgrade to Windows 10, first, you need to update to Windows 8.1 of Windows 8 and then you can switch to Windows 10 Windows 8.1.

    Please refer to: Update Windows 8.1 of Windows 8

    Once you have updated Windows 8 to 8.1 Windows, please see the following article in order to upgrade to Windows 10 Windows 8.1.
