Are any of you experiencing difficulties getting into AndroidForums?

Yep, me too. Can't get onto phandroid either (think it's the same site)

Looks like their DNS is hosed. Who knows what else.

Its up now; but seems to be very slow.

still down for me

Still no luck here either.
Strange thing just happened though when I clicked on a save URL to the site...It prompted me for a user name and password immediately.
Very weird!!

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
That is the result of attempting to get into the site at 11:30 am Central time.
It appears they have been compromised, big time, because the generic address is yielding the "/" (root) folder, which is protected.

Great and I entered my user name and password like a moron!!

I'm glad to see this thread. I got locked out since about 8:30 MST last night and saw that enter username/password thing. Scared me so I x'd out of the tab but still can't get into their forum today. Sucks that they were hacked. Why do people do that?

It's up again now.

Yes, they are still having problems. Was working fine earlier but just tried again & get the following message :-
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare getHostName() in /home/arrowbe/public_html/neverstill/openx/www/delivery/afr.php on line 207
Hopefully will be sorted soon.

The site's back up and running.

"there is a problem parsing the package"

Guys,
I'm so angry , I just rooted the nook glowlight and am unable to install any apk files.
I'm always getting "there is a problem parsing the package", whatever I found on the internet :crying:
Is there no file explorer by default on it ? And why this parse error ?
And most websites just crash, grrr
Anyone, anyone please anyone : HELP MEEEE

Do you have ADB working? Can you see a logcat?
Do you know that these APKs are actually good and designed for API level 7?

Also, is installation of apps from unknown sources enabled in nook color tools? Most (all?) of the NST rooting packages include it, but you do have to set the flag to get packages found via the internet (rather than the google store) and copied to the device to install.

I get that error sometimes when downloading .apk files from some sites. Your browser might not be downloading the file with the correct filetype suffix. Can you see if it has the .apk suffix on it? I've found that some browsers do better than others with handling this file-type. If you can get xScope browser or Opera Mobile I think those were better. It's also possible that a retry of the download will work, or that the file itself is just bad.

I get the same error on my nook simple touch.
the same apk's work on my galaxy nexus.
Anyone knows what might be the problem and how to solve it?

A logcat will tell you exactly what the problem is.
Use ADB and get a logcat.

Are you sure these apks are compatible with Android 2.1 Eclair? Not everything will work. Which programs are you trying to install specifically?

I haven't thought of that. but you're probably right.
I'm surprised the error message is not more obvious though.

Wrong forum.
Try installing any other package with requirements : 2.1+
In Settings check "Allow Installation of Non-Market Apps" .
Install apk from SDCARD.
I'm 90% sure you are just trying to install a package not compatible with A 2.1.

I have a similar problem...
new to rooting and romming, finaly!!!! got my ms770 lg motion back to stock and I too am getting the error " there is a problem parsing the package".
I noticed that if I download an app, it installs fine, no problem...but when I transfer from my pc, it shows up with that error message when I try to install.
I have read a LOT of these forums , trying to determine how to solve this riddle...they all say try THIS file manager, or, make sure installation of non-market apps is checked, or some such thing...
Well, the "allow installation of non-market apps" thing IS checked...still no dice...
What do I do with the log once I get it?
Basically....can someone please point me in the right direction? Please?

How to diagnose a Settings error ...

Hi - I was wondering if I could get some assistance in an issue I'm experiencing please.
I'm trying to diagnose a particular "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" error message and why I'm getting it - and I'm trying to use this as a stepping stone into getting back into Android programming.
I've had a look at the logcat logs and can't see anything that particularly matches that particular string, but I see a section that starts with
"[ 02-27 23:55:51.509 28773:29176 E/AndroidRuntime ]
FATAL EXCEPTION: pool-1-thread-1
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError"
Could someone tell me if this is indicative of that "Settings has stopped" error please ?
If so, then I do not see a line that gives a "Caused by" reason - is there any further diagnostics that I can do without having to resort to a full system restore ?
Thanks in advance.

Well an Out of memory error will cause a force close, so it should be the cause for the message you see. Out of memory means your app is trying to get more ram that it is allowed by the system. Most of the time this happens when dealing with large bitmaps (perhaps forgot to recycle them?) or in an infinite loop.
You'll have to manually debug the thread to see where the problem is.

Hi - many thanks for responding.
I'm sort of cheating a bit as I'm trying to diagnose a bug not of my own making - i.e. I haven't actually written an application - I've downloaded a few apps from the Google Play store and one (or more !) is causing them to crash with the aforementioned error when I go into Settings->Apps and I'm trying to localise which application it is.
As it was really bugging me I've since factory reset my phone, and the problem appeared when I installed the latest version of the Shazam app. More worrying is that I've uninstalled the app and carried out a power cycle of the phone and the issue is still appearing - which means either that :
a) Shazam has somehow corrupted the OS and the phone requires another rebuild
b) It's not Shazam
Unfortunately I have no idea on how to take this further

E footer is wrong, e signature verification failed when installing OTA update?

Hi folks!
Just bought myself an S5, have successfully rooted the phone, and decide to install the Alliance Rom with no issues.
I then downloaded the Black Glass OTA Theme, went into recovery mode and tried to unzip the file (Using Philz touch) - I received the following two error messages: "e footer is wrong, e signature verification failed"
I'm on android v4.4.2 - I backed up prior to this so I've just restored back to factory settings for the meantime, but I'd like to know why I'm getting those two errors if possible?
Many thanks!

Could be many reasons, you don't have enough information yet to know. Crucially, you failed to paste the verbatim error and the context surrounding it here. Or even link to the theme you refer to. So we don't have much to go on.
As it is labeled as an OTA theme, it will be specifically formatted for that custom ROM. So wouldn't it make more sense to seek help in the custom ROM support thread?
The actual error could be anything from a corrupt download (did you verify the md5 checksum or try downloading the theme again?) to a marginal USB cable (did you try a different USB cable and port?). Or many other things. Did you search the support thread to see if anyone else was troubleshooting similar issues?
.

Sorry, I'm completely new to the forum so don't know my way about.
How would I go about obtaining/providing the verbatim error?

You can copy and what you see on screen from the log that Odin or Kies makes. Or alternately make a screenshot.
Most questions could be expediently answered by a search of the forum too. But for some reason, most people don't try that.

I appreciate that, I did try looking via the forum before asking but didn't find any mention of 'verbatim'...
I also searched for the errors I am experiencing and whilst I found several other threads, none are a similar scenario to mine.
I am not using Odin or Kies, I was able to root my phone successfully, and installed the Alliance Rom with no issues.
My issue occurs after downloading an the OTA update/theme and then going into recovery mode > Install Zip > Choose zip from /sdcard > OtaDownloads/ > Install Black_Glass_S5
I ticked to check the MD5 sum, it came back with with 'MD5 check: error'
Signature verification causes the 'E: footer is wrong and E: signature verification failed' errors.

Your search technique needs polishing. If some particular keyword doesn't work in a search, then use a synonym or reword your search query.

And there is crucial information that you didn't provide earlier. The very reason why I wanted the verbatim context. We are't psychic and can't help you effectively if you don't provide a detailed account.
Adding those details is a huge improvement. You selected a feature (check md5) without understanding how it worked. That caused an error. You then asked us what the error meant without telling us that you had done that and not providing any context or details for us to work with.
The error message, in context, tells us that you either tried to check md5 on a file that doesn't have a md5 - therefore a spurious error. Or the file was profoundly corrupt.
.

It's not my intention to be vague, I simply do not know what information is relevant/beneficial to you.
I deleted the file and then re-downloaded a new copy but it still won't unzip the file, the issue also occurs for another OTA file.
If there's specific info I can provide then by all means let me know and I'll provide it.
Appreciate the help and patience - evidently I'm still a noob when it comes to all the features/tools.

If you were already an expert, you could pare down the details in your post to the minimum amount needed. But when seeking help in an area that is new to you, you should provide the maximum amount of information. If in doubt post more, rather than exclude something when troubleshooting.
Nothing impairs someone from providing effective help as much as missing crucial details. The only things you should withhold are personally identifying info e.g. serial numbers.
Someone knowledgeable trying to help you can easily sift through too much info. Not the reverse.

I wasn't disagreeing - I've not got any other information to provide currently.

Do you mount your SD card into a USB card reader and then use in a USB port on your desktop or laptop?
because if you accidentally made the "E" port into "read only" on one file, or anything on the drive it could have locked the entire drive down, which to me is exactly
what it sounds like,
put the card back into your desktop, right click as if you were ejecting drive. select properties> preferences> share file settings and set to "Everyone"
yes i know its old, but its not a bad thing to bring up to answer for other newbies right on front page.

thanks this helped me a lot

"Hey i'd rather you do the work for me" kinda thang is a bit annoying. People are so silly sometimes.

The volume increase method I keep reading about doesn't work for me. Can anyone help?

So I rooted, installed CM13, then proceeded to find a way to increase the max volume on the device because, as we all know, it is a bit on the quiet side.
The method that seems to work for everyone else is to modify a bit of text in the /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml file. But when I do it I get an error message "An error occurred command number 3: result code 1: error lines:"
I don't know what this means. It's not because I don't have root privileges. It happens either way. Depending on the text editor I use it will at least save until reboot. When I reboot the file is back the way it was.
Does anyone know what's going on here? I can't find any thread that addresses this particular problem.
Thanks.

It may be easier to use a tuner app to set it. Then just make it set on boot with the app.
