[Q] Any Atrix owners want to help with debugging my app?

So I've recently published an application to the Android Market and I'm trying to get the app to pass Amazon's approval process, but they keep citing a force close bug on only the Motorola Atrix, which I don't have access to.
If anyone could help me out with testing the application on an Atrix and could possibly send a log or something, that'd be great. We could do some tweaks and then send it back to you to test again.
Really need your help guys.
The application is called GPS Phone Tracker in the Android Market; I would post a link, but this account hasn't reached the post threshold yet. Sorry!
If you're willing to help, just let me know in this thread and we can get started.
Thanks.

can't really find your app on the market.

Search for "gps phone tracker" and it should be within the top 5 results. When I search for it on the web version of the market it is 3rd. The publisher is "Cell Phone Solutions"
I wish I could link it.

On cm7 it launches fine. Not sure about stock.

To be more specific, the bug would occur when you click on the map button at the bottom of the main screen to view your (or your friends') positions on the map.
If you can get to the map without a force close, then maybe only the stock rom is affected by this bug.
Thanks for all your help so far, guys.

I'm stock. no problems with the map feature. checked my own location and had my friend install it on his phone so i could see if it was a problem with checking on someone else.
worked fine for me.

Tested on Atrix with CM7. The app crashed during the registration process after clicking on the send info button.
Registration completed successfully anyway, since I received the activation code.
Bug report sent.

Thanks a lot! I assume you sent the bug via the force close dialog, so it will show up in the dev section of the Android Market, correct?
As a side note, we've been trying to use an Atrix virtual device to debug the app and have had trouble launching it because the virtual machine doesn't like some of the GPS calls or something. You guys are helping me out a lot.
Anyone else that wants to try, it would still help to have a larger sample size.
Thanks!

Tested on Atrix running RedPill Hybrid, no issues.

Running on a stock Atrix, I had no problems viewing my location on the map.

[Q] Facebook links not opening in any browser

Hi all.
I updated my N9005 to the latest firmware and faced no problems while residing in the middle east. However, ever since I came back, I have noticed that clicking on any external links posted on facebook do not open in any browser. It just displays "This web page is not available" and when i click on "MORE" button, it shows "the connection to m.facebook.com was interrupted."
I tried changing the client to desktop to no avail. Then I tried using VPN and sure enough the pages loaded just fine. But on other devices, such as Iphone and tablets, I don't need VPN to open such links. Alternatively, I tried manually adding https:// to links and the page opens successfully. Not only is it irritating, but mind boggling also. At first I suspected my ISP but since other devices connected to the same wifi do not pose this problem, it all comes down to this device.
Any help in isolating and solving this problem shall be highly appreciated.
Btw, I am using stock rom. My apologies if this issue has already been discussed but I was unable to find it.
thanks,

Which mobile browser are you using? Assuming it's either the Samsung stock browser, try in chrome and try downloading Firefox from the play store to see if the error reproduces in other browsers
Edit; when you say you close some "except the internet" are you referencing apps? Because that would be a memory issue and not a browser tabs issue so be sure to check the tabs in your browser, not in your recent apps screen.

Got it
Thank you. I was using the Samsung internet app. When I used chrome, didn't have the problem anymore.

Great, if I was able to help, pressing the the thanks button below my post would be appreciated
P.s I don't think there is an issue with the Samsung Browser itself, it's layout can be quite awkward but there should be a button near the top right that lists all of your open tabs with an option to close them!.

Galaxy Tab A blocked

Good evening. I promise to have searched the forum but did not find an answer So...
On trying to start a Galaxy Tab A I get the following error message (translated from German): "Logon to WLAN-AP not possible. An unautorised reset to factory settings has been done on this device. Access to the logon screen is not possible."
With other words: This device is completely blocked. What can I do to access it again? Thanks for your thoughts

Another device, camera etc.

Yeap, will do if I have the device within reach. Tomorrow or so...

This video (although for a Samsung Galaxy) shows how to unblock the tablet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y-aHwdjAZA The problem is therefore solved. Thanks for reading, thanks for replying.

@veryfunny: Thank you for posting back with a solution, so others of us with this problem can benefit. Much appreciated.

[NST] "Security Warning" when using browser

Hi everyone, I am trying to use my rooted Nook Simple Touch for the first time since early 2020, and when using the Browser app, I keep getting this warning message
Security Warning
There are problems with the security certificate for this site.
The name of the site does not match the name of the certificate.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If I use Opera Mini, this problem doesn't happen. But another app which used to work for me back in early 2020 is now having Network Errors, and I found a comment somewhere in the app's github repo that it downloads data using the main browser. So I suspect that the security warning and and the app's network errors are related?
Does anyone know why this warning is happening or how to fix it? Has something changed with regards to how the NST connects to the internet via the browser since early 2020 which could be causing the issue?

The NST still has a lot of life left in it, but not perhaps as a vehicle for internet browsing. You don't identify the "browser", but about the only two options for the NST at this date that I know of are Opera Mobile (or "Classic"--very similar) and Opera Mini. Of the two, the more practical and satisfying is Opera Mini. This is because the security checks are done by Opera's up-to-date servers before the site content is reformatted and sent off to the browser.
It's not perfect and some sites just won't display or won't display properly, but it's "pretty good" for infrequent and casual browsing.
Opera Mobile has settings for TLS 1.2 but their effect is spotty at best. Security requirements at web sites are a moving target and what worked last month may not work this month. And its rendering of HTML on many sites leaves a great deal to be desired. To be fair, some of the newer "tricks" just won't work with Android 2.1, so it's not all the browsers fault.
An app that uses the browser to download something? Not sure exactly what that means, but if it's using the Android Download Manager then you are probably running into the security issue either because of no TLS 1.2 (B&N only dealt with this issue for their own connection to the device) OR because a certificate in the cacerts.bks file has died since the last time you tried it successfully.
If it's the TLS thing, there's no hope. Like I said, websites and servers tighten rules all the time and there is no way to address that on the NST. If it's an expired certificate, it may be possible to track down which one has died and replace it.
For that, a logcat of a download/login/whatever attempt might be helpful (or not). Or maybe the error message mentions the certificate? If you could reference the github and/or app in question, that might help also.

Edit: See the "Edit" at the bottom this post... I looked into this more myself and found some answers

Hi @nmyshkin, thanks for your detailed reply.
You don't identify the "browser"

The "browser" that I'm referring to is literally the app called Browser which I think came pre-installed on the NST. (Its icon is a circle showing North and South America... let me know if you're still not sure what I'm referring to)

The app I'm using is called Ankidroid. Here's a link to the github repo/comment which mentions using the browser to download. I'm using v2.4.4 (last stable release to support android 2.1):

It looks like the following exceptions are being thrown:

There's a workaround mentioned in the comment (installing a sync server) so I'll try that then. Thanks for responding in this thread and helping me identify this issue

I'm surprised that it worked back in 2020! That old browser is past its expiration date--and then some. I don't even have it on my devices any more.

Yes and no. It's clearly unhappy about the SSL but the certificate that appears to be mentioned is not the one used at anikiweb.net.

I went to ankiweb.net on my PC and looked at the certificates they use. One seems to be USERTrust RSA. This is in the most up-to-date cacerts.bks for the device. Did you ever update your cacerts.bks? There is an updated file at the end of the first post in the referenced thread. You don't need to look at all the other stuff (unless you want to). In any caase, this seems to make no difference since mine is updated.
There is a second certificate from Sectigo but I can't seem to extract that from Firefox the way I do others. That's the certificate the old Browser complains about and that certificate is NOT in the cacerts.bks file.

Yeah, I took a brief look at that. Looks a bit intimidating, but perhaps not if you're motivated to get it working.
I installed 2.4.4 just to see what we were talking about. Since Opera Mini is my browser, that's what opened. It looks promising, but like many sites with non-static content, it does not display completely. You go to a topic and all you get is a search bar, not a listing of what exists (like you see on the PC). Opera Mobile simply fails to establish a connection. Not surprising.
Finally I replaced the old Browser app in /system/app and tried that out . You can get past the certificate errors by just saying to "continue" but the eventual display is just like in Opera Mini. Only a search bar appears if you select a category like "Chemistry", no listing of existing shared decks.
