HTC Account Manager - does it work for anyone?

At present the HTC Account Manager (settings/connections) allows you to input account details for You Tube (there is a Facebook setting, but it is hidden) However I cannot get my youtube login details to work - and yes I am typing the correct username/password.
All I recieve is the following error
"There was a connection error while attempting to login".
Is anyone else experiencing this?

are you connected to the internet?

no not the facebook one (this has been disabled by HTC), I mean the you tube one - it just wont log on. Has anyone done it sucessfully?

Yes... I was talking about youtube account... I've got the same problem.
I said only... that I've got the problem, also, that I don't see Facebook account.

Works like a charm for me.
Maybe it conflicts with your proxy settings...?

hmm.. strange.
I have original HTC version running on T Mobile UK network.
Anyone else having problems/success?

just got my hd and checked this with o2 sim and it works fine. is it possible to show the facebook account? that would be useful.

think I have figured the problem - you may need to confirm your email address again. log into youtube.com and click on UPLOAD VIDEO - enter a email address, open email, follow link - presto!

Windows Marketplace down?

Yup it's working. try resetting your phone maybe you lost your data connection.
it happens a lot.

Yep, working for me, just checked for you.

I rebooted but still nothing...I have the Marketplace configured to connect to the german site. Internet works on my HD2. Does anybody know how to change the server to connect to in the registry?

It works now, so I guess it was a server problem.

Hi, no it was not a server problem. It was simply that you had incorrect time/date set because you've just installed a ROM.

[Q] Wifi with proxy = OK! But no market and other apps...

Hi!
I'm a novice in the Android, XDA world...
I recently bought a G3, and after 1 day I had upgraded to Froyo.
But I'm having some troubles with proxy...
At my home, I don't need it, so everything works fine using my wifi connection.
But at work, I configure the proxy and Web Brower, Navigation, and others apps keeps working.
OTHO, some apps can't connect (eg. market, maps, rom gripper, etc).
Anybody knows where I can configure the default way of general apps connect to internet?
TKS.

The proxy probably filters your traffic and blocks it on not well-known ports. You should ask its administrator for details on what kind of traffic it allows (if that is feasible).

The proxy only allows connections on port 3128.
Do you think that some apps just woks with port 80?
And, if that's the case, anybody knows how to change it?

I'm using native G3 proxy settings. I tried connect using proxy with other apps but anyone did it for me, just the android's stock.
I need a file on system that allows me to change the connection configurations (I mean... I think I need it! )

Hey, Nathan I'm having a similar problem except that only port 8080 is open through proxy.
I am using transproxy to connect to the net.
All apps work except Market downloads and Gtalk dont work.

I can't do it yet. Here, the port that is open is 3128.
Some apps just bypass the proxy settings.
Even when I let the proxy (configured because my workplace network)configured, market works at my home (where there's no proxy).
But browser and others (that works fine with proxy) don't.
I don't know if this is a built-in app configuration (if it is, the only way is to create a route, using the address called by app, redirecting to the proxy - actually, I thought in that just now! I'll test it later! ), that is present on Market, Navigation, Maps and others...
Or if this is a system configuration. If it is, all we need is to find where its defined and change that.

No. Using G3 stock's proxy settings, some apps can't connect to the internet.

[Q] This item cannot be installed in your country. Asus Eee Pad Transformer

So I got and Asus Eee Pad Transformer from the United States and brought it here to Kuwait. Every time I try to download an app it says "this item cannot be installed in your country." I think this is a world wide issue since I've been hearing this problem from people in the east as well. I have a Galaxy Tab and I've never had this issue before. I think it has something to do with Honeycomb (3.0). Is there a fix to this. Please help.

just use market enabler chose T mobile and it will work you need to have root device check this page for arabic support http://www.ce4arab.com/vb7/showthread.php?t=319715

Actually, I tried this and it doesn't work for me. With market enabler I see US only apps, but can't install them.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

Did you get to fix the issue? It's really frustrating. What have you done so far to not throw the device out the window?

While I have never heard of this issue before, my guess is that the market has recently started allowing installs based on ISP location. Because you are connecting to the market through an ISP located in Kuwait, the market is preventing your install (just my theory). If I was you, I would look into side loading an app that allows you to use a proxy for network access, or try VPNing into a US network.

cant install in your country
Best option install the app with an android phone or any other device that works and then get the apk file

Is there a tutorial on how to add your device to a US VPN? Could you please send me a link? It'll be a big help. Thank you in advance.

I would do proxy instead. It is much easier to find an open proxy than it is to find an open vpn server. Vpn is probably just easier to setup if you happen to have a friend with a vpn server into their network here in the states. Here is a site showing how to setup a proxy in honeycomb (http://jeftek.com/1975/how-to-web-proxy-settings-android-honeycomb-tablets/)
Here is a list of open U.S. proxies: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...6eT7CQ&usg=AFQjCNFhRSjPS5R5t_U3W0qi7bcA08uJsw
Hopefully that will allow you to download stuff through the market.

try this
1. get anycut from android market, install and run. select new shortcut,
select activity and scroll to find proxy setting and select it. accept default name.
2. find a us based IPort proxy on hidemyass.
3. run the new shortcut and enter proxy hostname/IP and port.
4. login to your goggle account and change your profile location to us.
good luck

Clear Google Location Info (can't install in your country)
Here's the list of supported and non-supported countries:
www google com/support/androidmarket/developer/bin/answer.py?&answer=138294
For those in the country that are currently not supported, here's a work around (this works on my Eee Pad Transformer )
1) Go to Settings -> Accounts & Sync -> Manage Account and select your Gmail account, then click <remove account>
2) Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All
Select every single Google App (Google Accounts, Google Backup Transport, ...) and click <Clear data> for each of it
This gets rid of all location information
3) Power off and then power on the device.
4) Click on the Market icon, it will request you to key in your gmail account
5) use the same gmail account but use @googlemail.com instead of @gmail.com
6) the apps that are not allowed to be installed in the device's country will have the file size of 0.00B (that's ok!)
7) click on the <download> button**
There are some apps that are not compatible with the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer (eg. DME mail client).
** The apps that are not compatible will not download. The above steps are only for the apps that have the error message "cannot be installed in the device's country".
Repeat the above the next time you encounter that error message! Good luck.
[Thanks to Ms. Siti of Asus Customer Care Centre, Malaysia!]
If (5) above doesn't work... ask your friend in one of the supported countries to forward you new GMail account's verification sms to you
The Eee Pad Transformer is amazing especially with the Tegra optimized games!!!

Interesting info and an excellent first post. Added some of it to the ultimate thread. Thanks!

"The requested item could not be found"
THANKS FOR THE GREAT POST!
Now, the only problem after i did all the steps listed, 95% of the apps that i wanted to install from Market are now unavailable, ie The requested item could not be found.
However the one that is available installed just fine in my TF...
any idea?
thx!

Hi Radiikal,
Better way to find apps: Google it!
The search is not that great. However, you can google for Android Apps...tons of links out there!... [in addition to using applanet and/or AppBrain] that will point you back to Android Market to install the selected app.
If you are using a PC to search, you might get a QR code on the screen. This QRcode can be read by the free "Barcode Scanner" app from the Android Market Place... once it is captured on the TF, click on 'open in browser'... it's a lot easier that re-keying the URL.
Do install the nvidia's TEGRA ZONE app! There are some demo apps that you can test for free! Awesome graphics! Looks like I might have to surrender the ePad to my kids when I get home (as I did with the iPad for a year) !!!
I found another interesting site to download apps (security issues???).... SlideME Marketplace (pls google it).
... maybe someone can share their experience on this.
Have Fun!

little help =[
i must have tried both methods (adrian's and timothy's) 3~4 times, still can't figure out what's going on. using the ip proxy method i get "can't establish a reliable connection", and once lost the ability to restore my google account (had to factory reset)
tim's method "works" but i still can't install flash, and a few applications begin saying "the requested item cannot be found".
malaysia, eee pad transformer

For the requested item cannot be found try to install it from android market website. Dont forget to set your device nickname on android market account.
The iport proxy should work as long as you can find a reliable server, remember you just have to use the proxy for the first time only (after you remove android market data and cache, and also remove your google account from account & sync) maybe reboot first after removing market data and account. After start run gtalk first, sometimes it helps, register your goggle account, then run android market and accept. Remove proxy after accept, you should be able to download and install apps.

Thanks for that; not sure what was going wrong as the proxy was working fine (my location on several sites was listed as US), just couldn't log in.
I've actually found that installing from the android market site has solved all my problems; not quite sure what has happened (for example on my device, 'sketcher free' is "not available in my country" [malaysia], but if i dl it via the android market site it sends to the device fine).
for those still reading it may be worth investigating using vpn's to access the market site and then dl'ing it from there...

Ok following this line of thinking I did a little more digging on the use of a proxy to fool our Honeycomb tablets to be 100% within the US (I'm having this problem because I'm in Puerto Rico, and even though we are a US territory many services don't identify us as being part of the US).
After getting close by using the AnyCut app to add the proxy settings I found in the xroxy site into Honeycomb (you have to try a bunch of the http enabled ones by trial and error, most of them don't work) and I actually got the main Google search site to not come up as ".pr" but as the US full Google search site. The Market and account setup lost all of its connections so I went on the assumption that the proxy I was using was only working for common browsing ports like port 80, 443, etc...
So now all we need is to forward whatever ports the Market is using through the proxy so that it gets a connection. After doing some research on the xroxy site ZaelFaroe listed I signed up for a 1 month $7 subscription to one of their premium proxies since most of the publicly open proxies don't actually work well since they are mostly open by accident by sysadmins that should be flipping burgers instead of in a data center.
I tried the proxy settings they offered to me after subscribing and I got the same result. Full Google search site but no account setup, nor market connectivity. A little more digging on the xroxy site and their FAQ states that, as I assumed earlier, their paid proxies are setup for common browsing ports. They showed an app for PC called Proxifier witch led me to believe there should be a similar app for Android witch led me to the ASProxy app (not a free app) and it basically does the job of forwarding ports through the proxy server you setup. The app looked funky in Honeycomb (white shaded text over white text backgrounds) but you can make it out and get it setup.
Lo and behold! I can now install all the apps I wanted without any problems! The actual market app still SUCKS for searching but if I search within the market site on the honeycomb browser and then click the app and tell it to open it with the market it works fine.
The solution was not simple but I got it to work. I'm not entirely sure if the paid proxy is needed, I'm sure you can keep trying out different proxies listed on the xroxy site and find one that works, but then again there is no guarantee it will continue working. I for one am going to stick with the paid proxy as now I can finally watch Netflix streams from Puerto Rico through my PC!
