I'm using a Sony Ericsson LWW (still running Gingerbread, haven't upgraded to ICS).

Problem is, for the past 1-1.5 months I can't open any pages using the default Browser (whereas, Opera works fine) when using 3G. The browser, however, works when connected via Wi-Fi.
Same problem with the Play Store. Can't download or update any app when using 3G.
They used to work fine before.

I'm absolutely clueless as to why this is happening all of a sudden. Haven't tried rooting or anything.
Only thing I can think of is, I downloaded & installed a few apk files (Sketchbook, Smart Tools etc.) from torrentz.

Please, help me out people !!!


P.S. I can browse fine in 3G using Opera. Gmail, Facebook, Map etc. apps work too. Just the default browser & play store.
