Since I have upgraded to cyanogens 4.19 and later builds using the new market, It seems that 95% of my downloads are unsuccessfull. I am living in China and love my phone but can only deduce that China is blocking downloads. This occurs over both wifi and edge connections.
Any ideas how to get around this??????
Is this because of the new radio required by google? Is this because of the new market? Is this simple a flat out great firewall of china block? Are there any proxies available for the market? Any alternative to market? SSlide is very limited. Thanks
I can synch, but even that is not very stable.
I have used my phone since the dudes long ago and no problems through all roms until the 4.19 series...
Currently on c 4.21 stable... dream G1
Have you tried a different ROM perhaps? Or at the very least wiped/cleared ext3 and put CM back on?

this is real necessary for login google account & market due to damn&f**k GFW of china
I have tried the last 2 or three cyanogen roms. Also I have tried the stock google 1.6 dev rom. I have reformatted my partitions, and wiped several times. Thanks for your reply. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Doesn't China sensor certain things because it's an communist country? I'm not trying to be an ass, but that might be the reason. I think google sensors webpages and searches because of government regulations.

Great! Can you tell me how to do this! It is so annoying! I am having a problem even using gmail.
It has been a long time since china blocked something.
you can replace your hosts file.
Since you live in china,why not go to
www.androidin.net & www.hiapk.com
I know about these sites... the only problem is I can speak some Chinese, but not read or write it .... I hardly have time to learn so I came here!
Thanks for any ideas.. any one know how to edit the hosts as the posster a couple of posts up described?

upzip attached and copy to /system/etc with SUFBS or RootExplorer.
or use below in windows "CMD"
adb remount
adb push "path of hosts file" /system/etc
try this
extract the 2 files to 1 folder,connect your G1 with your PC
than run push.bat and enjoy it.
You need android usb drivers&adb before doing this.
If mine doesn't work,try Ayerwin's hosts file.
replace mine hosts with his,than run push.bat.
mine method is simpler ^_^
I used the abd method from aryewin first , rebooted and tried to install the speech synthesis files from the market...It is downloading as I type this. Thank you. It is hard to say if it worked yet because 5% of the time downloads work. I will test it using the new hosts file today and report back as soon as I get some time. Thank you so much for your quick help there are so many things I use from the market this can really help if it is successfull.
i am also in china now, if you do a logcat you see that the market cannot estabilish an ssl connection
for me, a reboot (or using wifi with china unicom) fixes the problem
are you on china mobile (edge) or china unicom (umts)?
i think it is just temporary, as for me 90% of download works, and also i managed to buy 5 paid apps using market enabler
edit: putting youtube.com in the hosts file will make youtube work?? it sounds strange, che GFC is so strict in its checks (lol try to go on wikipedia to take a look for freegate, and see the epic fail, the page will load and then "magically" return an error)
i tried on my pc and i get
很抱歉，在 www.google.cn 上没找到您要访问的网页
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(cannot find google.cn)
this is because google tried to do the smart guy, and put youtube and google on the same ip address (to avoid ip blacklisting)
unfortunately the gfc is not stupid and will do DNS poisoning on some domains...
btw i can do everything with my g1 in china, everything works, gtalk, maps, push gmail, market (except youtube, twitter, facebook, and nimbuzz)
i am using china mobile (cmnet), maybe is that you are using cmwrap+cmwap? it is no wonder that it will fail to connect if you do so...
Checking back in I can say the new hosts file made the market run great the last three hours. Its great to have unlimited access again.
Yes, I am too using cmnet. Its too bad we cant use Chinese 3g with our g1. My phone has also worked great since I got it. The best phone in the world I have ever had.
It has been my experiance that China blocks sites differently in different regions and cities. Using China Mobile here.
If you are having a problem, I would suggest you using the host file in this thread. Has worked so far for me.
cyanogen 4.21
Thanks for everyones help.

I heard you can access twitter by android platform frome China and have seen people tweet from China using twidroid. I'm not sure if which service provider they use. But this may suggest something else wrong there.
Moreover, try to set your google service as .com instead of .cn. That one's totally useless. Massive amount of keywords are filtered out.
Good luck bro. It's really sad they are doing this do mobile network. Dunno what would happen to the iPhone network tho.
yes, it looks the market it is working good with the new hosts, but i cant tell for sure
adding youtube/twitter on the hosts file has no effect
the GFW does packet sniffing imho, it detects i am going on blogspot even if i am using a proxy!
btw, for the filtered sites, on the pc i don't care, i've setup a VPN from europe for that
you can replace google.cn with google.com, but it is not the same. you can use the automated translator, and the cached page feature only of the chinese website
and the result is the same
if you search for "freegate" on google.cn you get a warning "illegal search"
if you search for that on google.com you get a DNS error that will "kick you out" from all google-owned servers unless you do ipconfig /flushdns
btw there is a chance to use the 3g on the g1 in china, with china unicom (umts)
too bad, i went to 8 different china unicom reseller and none of them were speaking english, so i was "forced" to use china mobile (edge)
the china mobile agent insisted to give me the 30mb/month flat, as 2gb "is too much", and insisted to come back when the limit was reached
she was shocked when i come back the day after "how did you use all of the 30mb in a single day???"

I'm in beijing, people in china must use proxy to visit twitter, like dabr. Market works for me without hosts change on cm4.2.1 and KiNgxKx ROM 2.0. Thanks for these great roms.
I can use china unicom 3g, it's works ok.
Hi
Has anyone noticed how the stock android browser "paginates" some web sites. I don't know if that's the correct word to describe it, but I mean when it separates a web site into several pages and you have to click continue at the end to see the rest of the content. Also, when you see the list of open tabs next to the title you see "(1/3)".
I find it very annoying and haven't found a way to disable it. Does anyone know how to do it?
This happens to me using a Galaxy 3, that's why I'm asking in this forum. Could some other user of this phone please confirm if it happens in your phone too?
Thanks.
let me guess. This happens generally when you are using google search and click one of the links.. right?
It happens when using google search, but also when entering the site URL directly. For instance, I just loaded emol.com (local newspaper) and I got the paginated view. I'm also getting it when accessing this very same forum, which makes it almost unusable.
So nobody else has seen this behavior?
I figured this would be a good place to ask, lots of users of this phone. Would you please suggest some other place to post this question if it is not relevant here?
Thanks
Finally, mistery solved. I figured it only happened when using 3G and not when using WiFi. I went to the APN settings and the default APN had a proxy server enabled. I removed the proxy address and now all pages look as they should. So,
it wasn't android browser's fault, it was my network operator's. No wonder I couldn't find anything about this issue.
Sorry for all the annoying posts
Weird problem here. Since the update OTA, whenever I press the address part of a contact in People it opens the address in the HTC Locations app. Before it used to open it in Google Maps. Ideas?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I have this also. Can't find out how to switch the thing back either. Kind of annoying really because I just don't seem to click with the locations app.
ability to pick between Locations and Google Maps would be great. I am having the opposite problems with addresses in my Calendar opening in Google Maps instead of the HTC Navigation.
My suspicion is that HTC are attempting to put their app (which has potential to make them money via licenses) front and centre.
Sure, you can still use Google Maps but don't expect it to be integrated with Sense!

Yep. Address opens Locations. Don't know if it used to open GMaps, though, because I never use that feature (usualy I know how to get to the people in my address book ).
try going to the locations app and checking if there are any default settings set.
You can't change it.

Just checked and mine does the same. It used to open in Google maps. As you say, HTC are probably just pushing their own SW.
It would be be nice to be able to choose which mapping SW opened BUT it'd be even nicer if you could just *view* the full postal address in a window if it's too long for the one line in the People app! (There's another thread on this somewhere). When it opened Google maps you could touch the 'flag' and it would then open a text window with the address but I haven't found a way to do this with Locations yet .......
Why is such a simple thing not included, even as an option????? As someone here said, we usually know how to get to people in our *contacts*. Mapping is to find unknown addresses!!!!!
I feel a *request* to HTC coming on.....

Sygic Aura doesn't work on 1.72 either. Just keeps erroring out. Same software works fine on 1.32 and on Cyanogenmod. Not sure if its a coincidence but its a very strange one.
Ok found the problem.
Go to:
Settings
Locations
Check "Integrate google navigation with locations"
Then everything will be back to normal.

which Aura do u mean? I have tried 2.1 and it works perfectly... to be honest - not so perfectly while it crashed 2 times while browsing the maps and switching views (not normal driving usage); however it starts and goes well. Maybe u have to update the soft - there was an actualization a few weeks ago.
HTC replied:
Dear Dean *******,
Thank you for your email today.
I would advise on deleting the OTA update you received, to restore the firmware version back to the previous version. This then should allow you to access contacts from the previous settings.

They have got to be kidding, right?
Definitive answer from HTC on this....
Dear Dean XXXXXXX,
I confirm that it does not integrate with google map application after the recent over the air update. I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required.

Speak with T-Mobile. MMS issues regularly relate to the service provider. You should ask them to remove then re-add your MMS capabilities on their servers and to be safer you should create your APN settings based on the info on their website.
What build? Cyanogenmod builds or modified sense builds (like cmys) include the files needed for mms to work correctly on tmous.. they've been working great for me don't even have to enter the apn.

So your location was taking you to the wrong country? I had that issue on an iPhone 3, hence I only ever had an iPhone for a week before returning to HTC products.
The English settings won't affect your location. Google maps will first ascertain where your location is based on WiFi and then GPS. WiFi will inherently be quicker because it doesn't need a lock. I would suggest turning WiFi off for now, are you using a proxy or Tor network direct through your router? That would suggest why it thinks you're in another country. If it's your GPS then that is an entirely different issue and you will want to read this thread:

Hello everyone! I am the developer of Prepay Widget, a small app that allows you to monitor your account balance through USSD requests.
You can find more info about USSD on Wikipedia, but basically these are short, SMS-like messages used by most GSM and some CDMA providers to deliver information
or control account services. The actual information comes to you in the form of popup toasts, which thids app hides and parses into widgets.
You can find the apps landing page on XDA at the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12348102
However, i want to stress that its important that we get some device-specific feedback, so please post in this thread if you have issues,
this helps me keep track of bugs and requests better.
You can use the Lite version of the app - it has all the functionality of the full version apart from automatic updates (not really that important imo).
As I haven't got one of these phones in my pocket, I need some testers to track down problems. Please, use this thread to comment or
suggest features. It is my belief that addressing issues is best done individually by phone, so if something doesn't work, let me know and I will fix it ASAP.
Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.ussd.widget.lite
Debugging:
Please use the "Write to developer" item in the Settings menu to send logs. Enable debugging, reproduce your error and then send the logs.
Make sure you include a description - the more detailed the description the better.
Screens:
1.3.3.0
Added full Russian translation
Fixed many small errors from user logs
Fixed rare radio restart issue on some ICS buils
Too bad I am not on prepay otherwise I would gladly test your app. Nevertheless my compliments for your work :thumbup:

You don't need to be - your provider probably still sends info on thongs like free minutes and data or sms.

Hello, I have sudden problém with this widget!
It worked really fine but since yesterday it isnot able to retrieve my credit balance via USSD code, the number on widget is grayed and instead of capturing the message internally it invokes the queries as if called manually thus the message appears onscreen. This is ofcourse fashion which I don't want it to work. Any help please...
