Frequently asked questions

Q: How do I root my phone?

A: It depends on your phone model. Just search the forum for tutorials in rooting your phone. Ive used gingerbreak and z4root on my P500 and it works all the time.

Q: I dont have Android Market installed on my phone, How can I install your app?

A: If you don't have Android Market, or for any other reason can not find DroidVPN there, you can download from our site instead: http://droidvpn.com/download.php

Note that if you don't have Android Market, you must install the app and download updates manually. Updates are announced via our Forum, Twitter and Facebook pages.

Q: It doesn't work on my phone. What should I do?

A: Post your log file. You can enable debug logging by going to Settings > and enable "Debug logging". A DroidVPN.txt file will be saved on the root folder of your sdcard.

You could also post the output of logcat. Download alogcat here https://market.android.com/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat Or this direct link: http://alogcat.googlecode.com/files/alogcat-2.3.apk

A: DroidVPN is not designed to be the MOST secure tunneling software in the world, we focused mainly on speed, stability, rich of features, easy to use but making sure it is still secure enough.

i am using this app from yesterday , this is very good app , but i want to know , is there any bandwidth limit for free account ?? i hope no :D

any way very good app keep your great work
[Android Apps and Games] dr.supertest:
Will try it
[Android Apps and Games] rody777:
so nice and useful
[Android Apps and Games] DroidVPN:
Thanks for trying our app. For now there is no bandwidth limit.
[Android Apps and Games] marksmithbvs:
Well, that's nice... Thank you very much for the sharing...

Android browser doesn't work on my Nexus One with latest Cyanogen nightly, everything else seems to work. Any suggestions?

Edit: opera mini seems to be the only browser that works.
[Android Apps and Games] DroidVPN:
Do you have a proxy set for your browser? Or it could also be a DNS issue. Try visiting this page on your android browser and see if it will load: http://74.125.224.48/ <- google.com
[Android Apps and Games] B1ny:
Cleaned out everything under my APN settings, now it works on both my Nexus One and Galaxy Nexus. But when switching between wifi and mobile data, you have to manually disconnect and reconnect. Can this be fixed?
[Android Apps and Games] DroidVPN:
I guess that could be done :) Thanks for the feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] B1ny:
Seems to use a lot of battery? Over the last session it have consumed the same as AndroidOS.
[Android Apps and Games] 007shinobi:
Just as with manually switching wifi, it seems not to reconnect when it says it does. Can that be fixed? If you lose signal for mobile data and regain it u have to manually restart.
[Android Apps and Games] edlactaoen:
i cant connect

sir i cant connect droidvpn always say "no wifi or 3g detected " do i need to turn wifi on?im also from the philippines pls help....
[Android Apps and Games] eveloper:
Thanks! GAE with the speed of instability, I think it is necessary to try this.
[Android Apps and Games] DroidVPN:
I believe that is normal since it would be running all the time unless you disconnect it. You might want to read this since openvpn and our app functions almost the same.

We are still working on that. But right now it will actually try to reconnect if it detects that no data is being transferred within 60 seconds.
[Android Apps and Games] Joel Chan:
Love this app :)

I have a suggestion though. You shove give users an option to check if the the vpn is working. Maybe launch a web page or something to test
[Android Apps and Games] DroidVPN:
Thanks for the suggestion. That would be included on the next update :)
[Android Apps and Games] DroidVPN:
You can now download the app directly to your phone if you dont have android market installed.

Download link: http://droidvpn.com/download.php
[Android Apps and Games] DroidVPN:
New version is now available in the market!

Changelogs:

- Fixed the reported force close/reboot errors.

- Added a new menu to check if your connection is using DroidVPN.

- Added a new menu that is linked to our signup page.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] alfiemenace:
so i was kinda considering buying this phone. but since development in this phone is not quite like development for my p500, how's the battery life for the stock rom? thanks in advance! :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] keeb119:
Battery life is amazing when you break in the battery. development for this phone will probably be picking up soon.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] IP IHI II IL:
If you use the tools provided, the battery life is great! Plus, it charges super fast!

\\Carved into this thread by my RAZR//

[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
Depends what sort of battery life you're used to. I came to the RAZR having had a Galaxy S II with 2000mAh extended battery as my daily driver. Was used to heading home at the end of the workday with 50% left - the RAZR has died on me completely before the day's end. Ended up rooting and underclocking to get an acceptable level of performance out of it, your results may vary. Moto included a lot of useless battery-sapping bloat with this phone, most of which is now frozen with Titanium Backup.

I have been running this sound for about a week. So i thought i would share it with you guys.

At some point i mite do more with this but hear is a Flashable zip that makes the phone make the HEV suit full charge sound when you plug your phone in to a USB port or the charger.

Let me know what you guys think
[Epic 4G Themes] runngwlf:
I was going to try it out but your zip for cwm is the older style (Edify I believe) and the newer CWM require Amend scripting. So in short, it won't flash. I manually added the sound using root explorer and it works good tho. Thanks!

[Droid 2 Global General] the-light:

in order to avoid subside lock, leave the phone on the error msg. without touching anything for apx 9-12 hrs. and ull b fine.
[Droid 2 Global General] mohoho:
As far as I know, D2G is very dicey on unlock. It seems only the first lot (before Nov 2010) was unlock-able. I bought 2 and none of them can be unlocked with codes from non-verizon places.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leakAddict:
I'm not sure if this is the correct thread for this question, but please feel free to move if you see fit mods.

Ok, I am developing an app and would like to do the following:

Display one set of information (plus/minus buttons and numbers) in a portrait mode page and then switch to a landscape mode page that I've made to display the info (without the buttons).

Where I'm at right now is I don't think I can use PortraitOrLandscape in my main xaml file because I don't want to use the same buttons and controls.

Thanks!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pillowmissile:
The android.media.process is taking a large chunk of my battery. I haven't seen this process on any of the previous ICS passion roms. Can anybody tell me why this is constantly running?

Here's a couple screen shots. I would ask the dev but I'm a couple posts away from being able to do so. Hopefully he'll read this and explain why it would be different than the previous versions..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exel:
Try clearing data for all those services mentioned.

It's weird, I've seen this problem a lot in the thread, but I don't have it.

What are you syncing, by the way? Which do you have enabled?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pillowmissile:
Only thing synced is my gmail. I make sure to go through all of the settings and uncheck anything that would run in the background. I'll update after I clear out my cache.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exel:
Alright, hm.. could be a faulty app, too.

Let me know how it goes.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pillowmissile:
Cleared cache from recovery, set permissions.. etc. Its still running. It must be something different with this rom... I may just return to 6.5. I had no problems with it and I have gotten used to no GPS.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilroach:
I'm having this issue with V7 too. I read online that it could be a corrupt media file causing it. Apparently, you need to move your media off you SD card to see if it helps.

Haven't tried it yet
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
You can figure out what media it is scanning and then in that file open it up and put a .nomedia file in it and when your media scanner is engaged, it will skip over that particular file.

Be careful with .nomedia files b/c if you put them in say DCIM or you album art, take a wild guess what you'll see in your media player or your gallery.

.nomedias work as long as your make sure you know where they go. Wouldn't make sense to put on right in the root of your SD now would it? But find the file it keeps scanning and put one in there.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trailblazerz11:
In my experience just let media process run until it eventually stops 10-15 min.. then reboot. Should stop excessive CPU usage after a couple reboots and data built.

I also .nomedia titanium backup and CWM.

Otherwise you may have a corrupt file causing this. I thought so at 1st but maybe its something with this ROM. I formatted my SDcard and media process still loose at boot. So just give time for it to settle and it usually goes away.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caguas56:
Hi, I just got the Epic 4G Touch today. I plan to root the phone in about a month after playing with it on Stock Rom. there is an update that Sprint wants me to do. if I do it will I'll be ruin the chances to Root my phone later?.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
The current update won't affect your ability to root. A future update might affect how easy it is to root. So this update is ok, but before future updates you should check back again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caguas56:
Do you recomend that I wait before root or go ahead?. can I go back to the original rom if I wanted to?.

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
You can root before or afterwards, doesn't make a huge difference. I would recommend after you upgrade that you stick with the stock rom for a day or two to get a feel for how things are working on stock. Then when/if you install custom ROMs or make changes, you will have a baseline to compare to for figuring out what is causing issues you might encounter.

You can go back to the original ROM if you want. There are multiple ways to do it. You can use the EG30 ODIN tar in my signature. Alternatively if you want to root right now, use the Auto Root thread in my signature to root (Option A) and install EG30+CWM (Option C). From there, boot into CWM and make a CWM/nandroid backup of your system. That will be an exact image of what you are currently running, except for the modem. That way it is easier to go back to where you started. You can put the EG30 modem back using other means. The CWM/nandroid backup gets you 95% of the way there.

[HTC Sensation] mattjorgs:
Hey guys,

I'm having a few issues. I just reflashed InsertCoin 3.4.5 and then upgraded to 3.4.6. I set everything up and the market app on my sensation works just fine. But when I want to install a bunch of apps I usually use market.android.com. Before my most recent reflash, everything worked fine. The only difference is that I use 2-step authentication now ever since my Nexus S got stolen. Can't be too safe.

Anyway, market.android.com won't see my Sensation.

Any ideas?

-Matthew
[HTC Sensation] mgorman:
Ya use the market app or go on your computer and add them to your downloads from there
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Crazy KD:
I'll admit I'm a complete noob to android or any smart phone....so be gentle!

I bought a NT for my daughter's Christmas present and have rooted it with Indirect's method following Albert's videos. Excellent stuff and everything went as planned. I loaded Go Launcher and debloated #1 option.

The device will be used primarily for an ereader so the first 2 apps I downloaded were Kindle and Nook for Android. The Kindle fires up just fine, but when I tap the Nook nothing happens. The stock Nook ereader is accessible if you are in another application and hit the 'n' and go to library, but I'd like to have it on the main page in a folder with Kindle. Is there any way to get a Nook reader app on the main page?

I have purchased Root Explorer so if I need to move / modify something I should be ok.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] liquidzoo:
Not sure what the debloater removes, but is the Library icon still available in Go Launcher's app drawer? If so, just long press on it until you see the option at the bottom "Drag to Screen" (or something similar), drag it there and Go Launcher will zoom out to show all of your active screens. Drag the icon to one of them and it will stay there.

Pressing that should get you to the same place as the Library option on the nook menu that comes up when you press the 'n'
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
Using AnyCut, I believe the stock Reader app is actually Nook Viewer. However- it doesn't have any menus or UI elements of its own. I believe this is why when you're in it, there's no available menu/file functions. By itself, it's just a white screen.

So basically, I think Library is the only practical way to link directly to the stock reader. There's also a 'Books' app that can be added as an Application shortcut, but it's a pretty limited preview of the stock Library.

Alternatively, you could use a third party book reader like Moon Reader, Aldiko (has a very nice bookshelf/library feature of its own) or Mantano Reader Free (ditto).

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Crazy KD:
This worked perfectly. Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] reverenddak:
After flashing my Nook Tablet to CM10, I've come to realise how superior the Stock Reader and Library was to any 3rd party app (I've tried several, and nothing works as elegantly with epub, pdf and cbz as the stock Library & Reader did. It's considerably better than even the Kindle (App and device.) The Kobo App is decent, but way too invasive with its ads and recommendations. Has anyone tried porting the stock library & reader app to CM10? I tried installing the Library & Reader APK from the 1.4.3 update, but it doesn't install.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] johnseeking:
Did you not like Moon+ Reader? The Pro version has great PDF support. Worth the five bucks, IMO.

I've been happy with Comic Rack for CBR and CBZs. Lightning fast and hella stable.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] reverenddak:
Yep, I didn't like how moon+ handled my files, and didn't like the interface.

Most readers get close, but want to "import" your files , some just create a database (which is fine) some like to move or copy your epubs into their own directory (e.g. Kobo). I want to copy my epubs to a standard directory, and for the reader's "Library" or browser to see the files there. I also want smooth page transitions.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SlowCobra96:
Moon+ doesn't actually move any files anywhere during the import process if that's what you think. You can specify which folder to look at for all your storage. That's exactly what I do.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] johnseeking:
And a new update just added support for CBR and CBZs with smooth-scrolling thumbnails. Maybe you should give it another go? (And I found that fiddling with the MANY tweaking options for page transitions gave me exactly the level of smoothness, speed, etc., that I was looking for. After that, I saved new default day and night custom themes. I can't say enough good things about Moon+.)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] verbalshadow:
My favorite ereader is still fbreader the minimalist interface is superior to many of the fancy looking ones plus it opens by default it the last read book which is important if you only have a few minutes to read.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spcagigas:
Does Moon+ handled DRM'ed ePubs? My library uses Adobe Digital Editions for lending ePub files, and I've only been able to open them in Aldiko, though otherwise I like the Moon+ interface better. I don't want to plonk down $5 for Moon+ when the free version of Aldiko handles my specific need...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SlowCobra96:
Moon+ free version is what I use. As for DRM content, I really dont know as I have NEVER experienced a rejection with anything other than the incorrect format prior to them adding MOBI and CBR CBZ support.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spcagigas:
When I try to open a DRM'ed file in Moon+ free, all I get is an error message with a link to search for how to bypass ADE's DRM. That puts a bad taste in my mouth -- effectively they're saying "We don't want to add support for reading DRM files. Here's how to break the DRM, instead."

Aldiko give an error message if you haven't registered you SD card with your ADE credentials. If you have, opening an ADE file is totally transparent.

I guess that decides it for me, then. I'll stick with Aldiko, instead.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AugustusBot:
This is my #1 fear in upgrading from rooted stock w/ go launcher to CM10. No matter what happens, my tablet is still primarily a book reader... and I happen to love the stock reader.

Is there a specific reason as to 1. Why it won't install and 2. Why the nook app for android isn't the same?
[Other SmartWatches] BigNas76:
Just curious if anyone is willing to tackle this little gagdet. It needs some fine tuning and possibly a voodoo sound app would be awesome. It lacks the loudness like most android phones.
[Other SmartWatches] The-Captain:
It looks interesting, but I would not personally buy it. It does not have enough features for me to use it over my phone.
[Other SmartWatches] BigNas76:
Well I purchased one and with the help of the other thread about the apk i was able to sync to my epic with all features including the calls/missed calls and acuweather. This was with the corded headset. I have no real reason to get the wireless. The only real problem that i have right now is the sound level of the player. Its very frustrating to have to use a program to up the db level in every song i put on it. It running some kind of android platform so someone has to have some ideas.
[Other SmartWatches] southernsontn:
Well, it looks like someone has listened... I didn't see a thread anywhere else, so I'll post it here, some one has rooted the motoactv. the story, along with a link to a how to is available, just google it. I was gonna post a link, but I can't.
[Other SmartWatches] dragon_76:
The Motoactv runs gingerbread. CWM has gained root on it and installed Google apps. It has a decent chip and ram for a small device. The bootloader isn't locked. More and more smart watches and wearable computers will be coming out. I'd like to see a custom launcher for this size screen as QCIF+ ain't exactly great for a lot of launchers. A custom rom that remapped the hardware buttons would be nice as well.

Cheers,

[Other SmartWatches] rdavidowski:
Hi People

I just rooted the MotoACTV with the tutorial provided by Wade, the guy that rooted the watch. But I am having problems installing the ggole apps on it. The guide does not explain very well how to install the gogle apps. I managed to install several apk via adb commands and they work ok. But I am missing the market and every default google ape. Can someone explain how to do this? I already downloaded google apps zip file from cynogen web page.
[Other SmartWatches] dragon_76:
There are libraries in the unzipped file that need to be installed with the adb push command to get maps to work. The market needs a bunch of crap to work. You should push all the apk (except car home if you don't want it) once you have those over, restart and you download the rest of the apps from market.

Cheers,

-M

[Other SmartWatches] bandzdaddy:
This sounds intriguing can you run RunKeeper on the rooted device. I have the motoactv and love it for running but RunKeeper in my opinion is the best running app. Im anxious to hear more about this.
[Other SmartWatches] rdavidowski:
Thanks Dragon, but one more question before I keep trying this market stuff. Do I do the adb push command to the same exact directories as the zip has. Like for example: the zip file that I downloaded was for CM7 and it includes a lot more directories than simply the app directory. Do I have to push every single directory the zip has and create the ones that are missing within the watch. Can you please explain more in detail if possible. Thanks again for the help as this is the only thing I am missing from this "the market".
