Loss of history, top site, etc in FFOS 2.2 on ZTE Open C

I updated my OPEN C to 2.2 using packages from here : http://builds.firefoxos.mozfr.org/doc/en/devices/zte-open-c-eu , most recent build is 20150227165045.
I have 3 batteries, original 1500mAh, two 1850mAh from ebay (they are designed for ZTE V768, but works good with OPEN C).
Yesterday, I switched out one 1850 mAh battery, and put in another. First system couldn't see the battery status of the 2nd battery (should be near 100%, but OS insists its <20%). So I did a battery pull for a few minutes and put 2nd battery in again. This time, the system see the proper battery percentage, but since that, there is no top site nor history in the browsers. Universal search also doesn't return any history records. I had to reset the phone.

Hi crislevin,
I am sorry to hear about the loss of history and top sites on your ZTE Open C device.
Unfortunately, it's possible that either the unofficial build or the unofficial battery may have caused problems with the phone and eventually the loss of data.
Please contact ZTE's support channels directly for further assistance. They are the manufacturer of your device and may be able to further assist you.
Thanks,
- Ralph

  • Questions on privacy and safari, browser history; top sites; private browsi

    In one thread someone suggested that those concerned about the privacy of their web browsing and its history try Private Browsing. What are the consequences of Private Browsing? Does Private Browsing interfere with some of the web page features or javascript from working when I'm trying to access a page that has java or Flash? Will my bank's website load ok etc? I guess I was a little worried it would stop the showing of the last page visited and if so then hopefully that won't stop some sites from functioning.
    Is Private Browsing the best way to go all around for those concerned about privacy loss in Safari or does it not really help much? I wonder why it isn't the default.
    I want to be able to use my browser to access sites that don't load well when I use Firefox with NoScript, such as bank sites, but I do not want my browsing history to stay in view constantly, and I'm also upset at seeing it want to "learn" my browsing habits and try to suggest sites for me without my setting it to do this.
    For this reason I will be setting Firefox or any other browser I feel is more private than Safari, possibly Camino, to be my default browser. I will probably only be using Safari when a site won't work without it, same as when I used to settle for Internet Explorer on my windows computer when Firefox didn't work.
    I'm also concerned that I can't get that Google search bar out of my browser. I don't want Google keeping tabs of every site I visit. I'm not sure if Google has access to tracking every place I go if I never put any text into the Google search bar or how far into bed with Google Apple has now gone but I'm afraid of the privacy invasion possibilities.
    Perhaps Google gets no info if I do not type anything into the google search bar. I wish I could drag it off the menu bar however. (If I want to go to google, I know how to type google.com for crying out loud).
    I hope Apple will hold the line on its partners re: privacy in products like iPhone and Safari that work with its partners regardless of their tendencies to disrespect privacy.
    Does anyone know if the fact that this Safari software wants to learn what my favorite sites are affects outside parties including Apple, Google, and/or others possibly getting access to info on my browsing habits?
    If i allow the Top Sites page to work, will it just be something I MYSELF have access to the info on or are the URLs of my favorite sites reported to Apple, Google, or others?
    Does hitting RESET clear things out in this regard? I'd like to use these tools if I could be sure that using Safari doesn't turn the computer into a spyware tool for outside entities, commercial interests and governmental interests to mine data from.

    Hello r:
    If you think Safari, Firefox, or anything else will mask your browsing habits from someone who really wants to know, you are not being realistic.
    I tend to discount justifications of privacy encroachments I sometimes encounter to the effect of "snooping is done by certain commercial and governmental parties as the way things 'just are', so shut up and don't worry". Customers who do not air their concerns and questions cannot have any expectation that the developer will be aware of their concern if they sit mute.
    I sometimes pay for additional software to protect my privacy. I also use Firefox with Noscript and adblocking third party software rather than just sit with what the big corporations leave me with; there is a third party program for Safari I tried called PithHelmet for example, but then it seemed to not be loaded with the new Safari update and its developer dud not provide me any communication (although I got help here on how to find the program so I could remove it); so I may not use Safari as much compared to whatever browser I find has better privacy and security measures.
    If you go to the Safari help menu and enter +"private browsing,"+ you will find a complete description of what that function does for you. In answer to one of your questions, it is not a default because one loses a good deal of functionality. I would be most perturbed if that was made the default.
    Ok, I will try to learn the functionalities lost, thanks.
    You can set the history to be deleted after one day (or longer). If you are concerned, it is quite easy to clear history before you sign off.<</div>
    I've been using RESET to clear my history in the past; I assume it still works although Reset doesn't seem to permanently make certain cookies with future expiration dates go away permanently, which I find come back later even without my visiting a site for weeks and this was happening in the previous version of Safari too.
    You can remove the Google search box (or anything else) from the menu bar. Right click on it. One option is +"remove item."+
    That doesn't work in terms of just removing the Google search bar at the top right, I see.
    I did not want to lose my blank for typing a URL; I only want the thing out to the right that says Google on it, which seems to use Google's search engine to go away. I certainly hope that every time I type a URL into the blank at the left top (which is not the part over to the top right that says Google and a magnifying glass) that I'm not having Google track my URLs I visit like they would if I put a search term into the blank at the top right, but maybe it does since the two are forcibly linked.
    I guess I'd have to try Command L - Open Location in the Find menu if I want to try to go to a URL without using the URL blank at the top left I normally type in. I would only want to go to that trouble if typing in the top left blank for URLs results in Google tracking my URL visits like they certainly would if I typed in the top right google tool bar and hopefully Open Location does not result in the same issue.
    if i allow the Top Sites page to work, will it just be something I MYSELF have access to the info on or are the URLs of my favorite sites reported to Apple, Google, or others?
    I seriously doubt that Apple (or anyone else) is "reporting" anything about you to anyone. As you are no doubt aware, most web sites store cookies on your system when you visit that site. The information stored varies, but you can, of course, block cookies if you wish.
    I have the ability to block cookies, and I use Noscript a lot too with Firefox (although that set up does not always work with a few webpages here and there, so sometimes I have to use Safari or Camino). I use Safari less and less because there is no Noscript type of third party software for it. The only time I feel I have no choice but to use Safari on my Mac is when I go to my Mobileme account.
    My concern is of Top Sites "learning" my favorite sites and displaying to me the names of a lot of suggested URLs, as to who else is receiving that data; hopefully no one. Maybe I'll get to where i find info explaining that Apple and Google aren't collecting data about my "top sites" if I use that feature.
    It's just that there has been an increasing amount of privacy intrusion in the commercial realm combined with a corporate arrogance in terms treating consumers as though there is no need to make any assurances or explanations to consumers to help them trust the privacy. Instead we get browbeaten by various parties about how stupid or obvious we are if we ask a question to remind the corporation it's an issue to those of us who want to feel comfortable with the privacy of the software we use.
    I'll try to use the Feedback form to ask as well.
    At the risk of stating the obvious, it is quite easy to find out all sorts of information about an individual if one is interested. If you are really concerned, I suggest you severely limit your use of the Internet.
    I may well limit my use of the internet if what you say is true that there is no way to do any reading on the internet without being spied on by commercial and governmental interests.
    thanks

  • My homepage opens up to Top Sites even though the homepage is set to open to aol in the preferences tab.

    Under Preferences in Safari, I have set my homepage to open to AOL.  However, what opens up is Top Sites.  How do I correct this?

    Hi Netsclark,
    I have an article here for you that can describe the preferences that you should check for to make sure Safari performs this operation as you expect:
    Mac Basics: Safari 6 in OS X Mountain Lion
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5364
    Set your homepage
    To set your homepage, follow these steps:
    In Safari select Safari > Preferences… > General (toolbar)
    Type or paste the homepage URL in the "Homepage:" field
    If you want your homepage to open in a new Safari window, select "Homepage" in the "New windows open with:" pop-up menu.
    If you want your homepage to open in a new Safari tab, select "Homepage" in the "New tabs open with:" pop-up menu.
    Important: With Resume enabled, Safari will not always open with your homepage, even if in Safari Preferences you have selected "Homepage" in the "New windows open with:" pop-up menu. To open your Homepage under these circumstances, hold down the shift key when you open Safari.
    You will want to specifically choose the options you wish to have in steps 3 and 4 above to directly address your question. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
    Regards,
    Braden

  • What can be done to force top sites to retain the ones I've pinned?

    Running the latest versions of Yosemite and Safari (not the beta versions).
    I cannot get the Top Sites to retain all the sites I've pinned.  I've got 2 spots left and no matter what I do *unpin" every site and add the 2 sites and then pin them all, do it separately, delete the preferences file for top sites, etc, the last two "spots" will not stay pinned.  I can pin them even one at a time, open up a new tab with Top Sites and the pinned site will be there.  Open another page and the newly pinned site is gone when Top Sites is opened in a new tab.
    Any help???

    Try a reset.
    Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items.  Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History and Web Site Data. The down side is it clears all cookies.Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site.

  • How do I setup "Top Sites" in Safari?

    I've installed Safari on several PC & 2 REAL computers (Mac). Some PC have Windoze 7 & some XP. I downloaded & saved Safari to a folder on my hard drive & installed it on several PC from that same .EXE file. On a couple PC there's no optin for "Top Sites" in Preferences for the setting, "New Tabs Open With".
    I'd like to know if anyone would please help me get that set correctly.
    Does anyone have any idea why/how it's not the same on all PC? At first I thought it had something to do with Windoze 7 vs XP, but some XP boxes have it & some don't. The setting is there on the Mac of course. THEY'RE not a problem. Just the PC.
    It's kinda driving me crazy. I'm already pretty close anyway, so it's not going to take much to push me over the edge....
    THANK YOU!!

    When I restarted my computer, an iBook G4 with Tiger, the Top Site icon disappeared again. I re-installed Safari 4 a second time, and the Top Site was restored again, until I restarted my computer, when it disappeared. It's not listed in Safari>preferences>bookmarks.
    Does anyone have a solution.

  • Pinned Top Sites Not Pinning

    So I've just installed Safari 5.1 on my Windows 7 64-bit. And I have to say, I absoultley love it so far, except for this one dilemma I'm experiencing. Everytime I pin a site onto 'Top Sites' and then close the browser, when I open Safari again the site is gone. But, it's only having trouble with one site, the other sites I've pinned stay pinned. Can someone please help? All other answers I've seen online unfortunately result into installing a new browser. In which, I've already tried Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Opera and none of them work with my needs. Also, do you think it's the site's issue or Safari's?
    Thank you in advance
    P.S. I've also tried re-installing Safari, but the problem is still the same

    Hey guys.
    Need to join the desperate team. My Top sites wont allow any other manually added site - it will get deleted right after i restart safari.
    I have checked the other forums where were suggestion for binning the com.apple.safari and top sites plist - doesn't work. Standard cleaning procedure like emptying cash, reseting safari or not too standard binning some preferences files - not working. None of them is in banned sites - i binned it also
    I need to add its a new thing because it was working until last week. Maybe some updates could damage something, though i can remember any new updates in last two weeks. Please be geeks, find the answare, it was very cool feature and its pitty its not working.

  • How to change the Top sites in Safari 6.1 ?

    the thing is, when I decided to update my Safari, it changed. I can't edit the Top sites because I can't find the oh-so-called 'edit' button.
    so how can I change it??

    This is how I did it using Safari 6.1.3:
    Add the webpage you want to add to your Top Sites to your Bookmarks Bar by dragging the URL to the Bookmarks Bar.
    Open your Top Site page and make sure your Bookmarks are open in your sidebar (View > Show Sidebar > Bookmarks)
    Drag the webpage you added to your Bookmarks Bar in [1] onto the Top Sites page. The existing pages will move around and you can drop your webpage when you're happy with its position.
    Hope it works!

  • Why did they take away the "Open In New Tab"option in Top Sites, Bookmarks, and History?

    Why did they take away the "Open In New Tab"option in Top Sites, Bookmarks, and History? This very annoying.

    Seriously - what could they have possibly been thinking? Mozilla, please tell us this was some kind of mistake. Accessing our bookmarks in FF-mobile is just plain bad as a user experience. And now without "Open In New Tab" we are supposed to drill down to our bookmarks for every tab we want to open? FF-mobile is almost useless without "Open In New Tab". Please restore "Open In New Tab" for bookmarks, thanks.

  • Finally mite update frm FF 3.6 to 14 for the html5 (on last update frm 3 to 5 google's services dint work). will history, bookmarks, site prefs etc be retained?

    finally mite update frm FF 3.6 to 14 for the html5 (on last update frm 3 to 5 google's services dint work). will history, bookmarks, site prefs etc be retained? active logins probably wont. plugin & extension compatibility not really important.
    also, if i simply hit update and get it done, will that opera-like 'Firefox' menu show up or will i have to do a clean install to get that?

    Be aware that if you've used the current profile before with a Firefox 4+ version there there may have been leftover files from that 4+ version that may be causing problems.
    See also:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Backing+up+your+information
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup
    You can create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Top sites & history coverflow suddenly stop working

    hi I've got the Safari Version 4 Public Beta (5528.17)
    suddenly I think since 2 days ago, my top sites doesn't work, it didn't show all the preview sites I have on it except that you can see the URL only.
    same as for history coverflow, it only show all the URL of the sites I've been but not the preview of it.
    I've tried reinstalling it, did a full reset safari...
    but nothing was solved.
    please help

    I would love to make it so Safari stops erasing all of my previews after two days. How did you get yours to work? I don't know where a preference plist is.

  • Safari top sites/history

    I have been trying to remove history and top site data form safari, i already tried:
    1- reset safary (all options checked)
         Safari > Reset Safari...
    2- Clear history
          History > Clear History...
    3- Remove All Web Site Data
         Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Remove All Website Data ...
    4- Edit Top Sites:
         History > Show Top Sites
         Edit
         Delte one by one
    I tried them one by one, all together, close and reopen safari, restart the mac and shutdown, regardles of what i do the top sites will always come back, history is always gone, i read diferent post and get all the suggested ideas that i have used but so far top sites are always back.
    Im on a macbook air 13" mid-2012, runing Mac OS X(10.8.4)
    Any suggestion?

    hi,
    Yes im logged as admin, the problem is with "Top Sites" only, everything else get removed without any problem.
    I just notice that it happen when i clear history and select "Reset Top Sites" if i do that then the top sites will be recreated out of nowhere. so i have to uncheck "Reset Top Sites" (on clear history or reset safari option).
    The link you send explain why it happen but still is kind of anoying to have things that i have never use there.
    Reset Top Sites:
    Clears any changes you made to Top Sites, such as adding or pinning sites. If you also clear your history, your Top Sites page reverts to showing the webpage previews displayed when you first installed Safari.
    The "solution" was
    1- History > Show Top Sites
    2- Edit
    3- Remove all Top Sites
    4- Uncheck "Reset Top Sites" from any clear option (Clear History and Reset Safari)
    second solution... I installed chrome
    Does anyone knows how to tunr off Top Sites, or how safari desided which sites are top after reseting top sites?For instance i have never used twitter and it shows up as a top site.

  • Safari Apple start page, top sites and history blurry

    I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? I recently installed a new graphics card HD 6950 and I noticed right away that apple.com on safari as well as top sites and history browser is blurry. It's clear for a split second that slowly becomes blurry in about half a second. Every other site is normal and the video card doesn't have problems on games. Viewing apple.com on IE looks normal also. I've tried installing different drivers but still no luck. Here's a shot of what its like for me:
