Help with 3G browsing

Hi,

I am using a Nexus 7 32Gb 3G, Android version 4.2.1, JOP40D, stock, rooted. Got it a couple of weeks ago and have been using it via WiFi no problems at all, browsing, using media, apps, everything has been fine (and more awesome since rooting).

Today I finally got a new SIM so I could use this bad boy outside the house. I have sorted all of the initial setup and can happily browse with Opera. Google chrome and all of the Google Apps however are another matter.

When I try to access a website with chrome I am told it is 'Unable to connect to the proxy server'. I am connecting through my mobile broadband provider TPG (Australia), which uses the Optus 3G network. Major problem is that the 'suggestion' chrome gives me to sort the issue apparently can't be done. It's telling me to "Go to the spanner menu >Settings > Under the bonnet > Change Proxy Settings" to sort things out - but as far as I can see there is no way to modify proxy settings on android 4.2.1 chrome.

This wouldn't really matter too much if it was just an issue with chrome as I can still use opera, but none of my google apps are working either! One of the main reasons I wanted 3G was to be able to use Google Maps/Navigation when I'm out an about and right now it's useless for that.

Can anyone help with this issue?

(P.S. is there a reason I can't edit my signature as a first time poster? I would have put my system specs in a sig if I could - but the option is missing from my user CP for some reason)

EDIT: I worked it out almost immediately after posting this. I modified the APN settings - told it to connect to TPG without going through the proxy (deleted the Proxy IP and port info) and now everything works fine. I feel like a muppet now, but maybe this will help someone else if they hit a similar prob.

i'm using Paranoidandroid 2.99b9, and the problem is the touchscreen issue :( the screen automatically touch or swipe, after i turn it off and on again then the issue is over, but one or two days later it happens...do you have any solution, thanks?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poondog:
Try reflashing your ROM, or reflash the superuser zip

Good to see you're all sorted. Perhaps if you have problems with network again take it to optus

As for signature, there's a minimum amount of posts you need in order to change it. It might be 10 or 20 or something and it will appear under usercp when you've made enough posts

Which recovery? If you used cwm did you happen to delete some blob files accidentally? It needs them

Mine used to do that. Try another ROM or kernel and see if you still have the problem

Some update from my side, my computer is able to recognize nexus 7 as Asus Transformer Prime APX Interface (from device manager) by pressing Volume down + Volume up + Power at the same time. After my computer recognized the device, I held down power and my nexus 7 was able to turn off. It seems like the nexus 7 is not dead, but bricked.

try the three-finger trick on your APX device, it may work. (not working on my device but some users reported it could help to get out of APX mode)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VideoSavant:
OK -- I have some downtime for the next few days, so I thought I'd take another run at trying to resurrect my zombie Nexus 7 2012. The short story on my problem is that my N7 boots normally, the lockscreen appears and I can navigate to my home screens, but after a minute or two, the screen will freeze and then reboot. You can see more detail about this problem in the links above.

In all the solutions I've attempted, nothing works. Even a system wipe and reset doesn't make any difference. When I reboot, it boots normally into exactly the same version of Android, with exactly the same home screens, apps, etc. For a while now, I've been thinking that the problem might have something to do with file permissions, and after some experimentation earlier today, I'm now even more convinced this is the source (or at least one of them) my problems.

For example, if I'm in TWRP and select Fix Permissions, I get a long listing of results that look like this:

chmod: amit : Read-only file system

chmod: amr : Read-only file system

chmod app : Read-only file system

etc.

The very last line of the results is this message:

E:Unable to chown '/data/app/com.joaomgcd.autonotification-2.apk' 1000 1000

Done.

Likewise, if I try to create a backup in TWRP, I get the following result:

* Backup Folder : /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS015d24bce4380c14/2014-06-06--17-10-36 JWR66Y/

E:Unable to create folder: /data/media/0/TWRP (errno=30)

E:Failed to make backup folder.

My knowledge of Linux is minuscule, so I have no idea where to go from here. But, as noted, I am pretty convinced that my fundamental problem relates to the file system not allowing changes; I now strongly suspect that this is what's causing my N7 to reboot -- as it's loading up apps it eventually does something where it wants to write to the file system, gets refused and the system locks up and reboots.

I wouldn't be completely surprised if the ultimate source of my problems is that "com.joaomgcd.autonotification-2.apk" file, as this is an Tasker Add-in (AutoNotification) that loads up at system start. It's been quite a while since this problem started (October), but I vaguely recollect that it may have coincided with an update of one those Tasker add-ins. Of course, I could be wrong (odds are probably better than 50/50), so I want to be clear that I'm not pointing my finger at either Tasker or the add-in developer. If there's one thing I've learned in 30 years of experience with computers, it's "**** happens."

So, I'd appreciate if anyone has suggestions on how I might tackle this, or whether the file system permissions are a symptom of some other problem.

Anyway, I welcome any and all ideas.

I. Will. Not. Give. Up.

Seriously...still banging away at trying to revive my N7 2012, and as noted in my previous post, I'm pretty sure my problem is related to not being able to write to storage. Here's the listing of file permissions for the root directory on my N7 (via the File Permission script in Nexus Root Toolkit). Does this provide any clues to where my permissions need to be modified?

Hi guys,

Got this good old Nexus 7 the other day and have been lurking on this forum since. Conclusion: no one is sure about anything. :D

I'm thoroughly exhausted from reading hundreds of solutions that may or may not work, so I'll try my luck here with a post.

1. How should I get adb/fastboot working on Windows 8.1? (browsed through numerous dead ends, including a corrupted download)

2. F2FS. Sweet Jesus there is some serious confusion.

Did legolas93 stop making modified TWRPs because the latest 2.7.1.1 supports F2FS? What is the best way to make a ROM All-F2FS compatible (NABENDU1's script? it doesn't seem to work for most people?)? How should you even go about converting your stock N7 to All-F2FS??

Hi guys I am currently stuck in a bootloop because of chainfire 3d, here is what happened

one day I tried to play the android game NOVA 3 on my Nexus 7 on the highest graphical setting so I went and researched how to do this. I was pointed towards some kind of app called 'ChainFire 3D', Once I pressed the install button inside this app the Nexus 7 switched off and the next time I tried to turn it on I got the X logo of death (boot loop). I then tried to enter recovery and I got the annoying 'no command' error. I cant seem to remember how I rooted this thing but I do have access to the fastboot stuff (inside cmd) but I cant seem to figure out how to get the adb working.

GSM Mobile Network Settings Are Missing

Hey everyone,

I recently received a refurbished Nexus 7 2012 GSM here in Germany from Google - as last time I installed the last stable release (11.0-InstallerXNPQ24Q) through the one click installer. Works fine for weeks now - but until today I forgot to put in my SIM card again - so I've done that --> nothing.

No request to enter PIN, not even a menu entry for Mobile Settings under Wireless > More - not in Quick settings - nowhere... It seems CM does not recognize my ability to use the SIM card and has disabled that option.

Yes I put the SIM card in multiple times, rebooted also, but nothing happens - unfortunately I do not know whether the native installation from Google had the SIM options.

Would greatly appreciate a hint for where to look next about the GSM issue.

fixing bootloop

Hi All -

I had my Nexus 7 (2012 wifi Grouper) perfectly set up the way I liked. So what did I do next? Wanted to add more mods of course:eek: So i tried to install Xposed framework. Here is where bad things started happening. Firstly, the xposed framework installer did not work when i tried to write directly to /system i can't recall the error it it had something do to with not enough space in the the write/system folder or something. I thought it was an odd error mainly because I thought rooting would give me full access to system directory. anyhow, I changed the Xposed installation method to download to sd card and manual flash. I booted into TWRP and tried to manual flash Xposed installer again. It failed. again saw the same error related to not enough space in system folder. At this point i tried to reboot and leave xposed alone until i figured out what was wrong. This is where my device started bootlooping. I got back into TWRP and tried to flash the Xposed Uninstaller zip that gets downloaded. the flash was successful but my device still was bootlooping. Is there any way I can fix my device WITHOUT having to wipe my data/apps or restore to stock? and NO i didn't take a nandroid backup.. i know. lessons learned :(
