Hey OP I can't goto some other countries playstores anymore. I know for sure the vpn works but when I try to go in playstore it says connection error thing.
[Android General] pythus:
Tested this with my LG G3 and had a few problems.

At first, what ever I did, I was not able to access the US play store. I tried several vpns, cleared data and cache, etc. but it always kept loading me into my local Play Store.

So in the end I thought it could be a problem with my google account. I logged into my wallet, removed my credit card information and added a US based credit card along with a US address. Tested again, same problem.

Next I created a new account. Same US based credit card, and address, followed the instruction, switched on VPN, and there you go. Straight into the US Play Store. Finally! It seems to me that if you already made purchases on your account from your local store, then google detects that and always loads the same local play store for you regardless of your location?

So now, I have two accounts on my android device. I don't mind that. But I was curious about how the phone will treat each app when it comes to updates, or in-app purchases, or even Google Play achievement log in. I went ahead and did some testing. For in app purchases, the app only displays the payment information of the account you used to download the app in the first place. Same thing with app updates. However, with Google Play, the first time you launch the app or game, you get a pop up asking which google account to use to record achievements.

Anyway. Thanks to OP for posting this helpful guide.
[Android General] Rose Ab:
I had exactly the same situation last year when I was in China, most of the VPN protocols were either very slow or could not connect at all.

As far as I remember, overall performance of purevpn android app was acceptable. I have no idea about the current situation as the sophisticated Chinese firewall keeps upgrading however one of the things it asks when it sets up the software is where you're based - with the two answer you can give being;

1) China

2) Rest of the world

So it seems like they still have that all locked down - so to speak.

Hope it could help.
[Android General] Geo1997:
:(

Can you give me the exact error message ?

Yeah as you experienced, even if you delete a credit card from the wallet of a google account, you can't then connect to another country Play Store with a VPN. It seems that Google is blocking the account on the country of the credit card.

So yeah, as I said in the first post, you have to create a new account.

Thanks for the informations about the apps.

Thanks for the informations about China VPNs
[Android General] Rose Ab:
Seems like purevpn provides South Korean IP address but in general you can check out the reviews for different VPN services. Make a comparison of the features, costs, security, speed, bandwidth, server location and connectivity protocol. By doing your research beforehand, you can narrow down your options to two or three VPN service providers before making a final decision. I personally subscribed to purevpn as it helped me to bypass the restriction when I was in china through their dedicated software however PIA also has a good reputation among well known brands.

Hope it could help

Hello everyone i have Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000 and i update android version from 2.2 to 2.3.3. I want to install 2.2 version because i have troubles with version 2.3.3. I looked on the internet but do not know which version to download.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bisharat:
Umm why would you want to go back to 2.2? Not many apps quite support froyo nowadays. You could go to www.samfirmware.com and find the latest 2.3.6 gb over there. Best one yet is the Hong Kong one.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macak93:
The smallest problem is the applications on Froyo.Tab works slowly and therefore I want to go back to an older version because less RAM is occupied and tab works better.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macak93:
Is there any possibility that I install this rom on version 2.3.3 and what will change as I install it?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
You need to completely wipe.

Overcome feels like stock ROM, especially with stock theme patch.

But under the hood it is much more.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bodh:
Is your device s-on [top of the bootloader]? If so, that's supposed to prevent flashing of kernels, as far as i understand, and it seems that is your problem. Try reflashng the stock kernel. Otherwise, maybe you forgot to do a factory reset from recovery if you're changing roms.

My PC detects its as 7cds + comneon Suspend and failed to install the drivers.

I've Kies installed but no luck

Switched USB port but result is same

switched PC but same

tried my friend's tab (same like mine) with settings USB->Modem to see weather there is problem with my USB but again no drivers.... i. e. no probs with my tab

Tried This method

but i don't have the "log via UART" instide I have "log via USB" which upon selecting gives me an error ""LOG PATH SET FAIL".

and then on selecting Modem on Diag menu gives me the same responce...

Hiya.

I got used to SDMaid on my old Xperia Ray and I also use it on my N7 for cleaning cache of apps etc.

I recently noticed that there are some unused `partitions` on my device (see attachment)

Is it possible to shrink the size of those directories to make more space usable for the user, or do something like re-routing the .thumbnail directory to /dev or /cache ?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Don't think repartitioning (layouts - SYSTEM size/DATA size, to put it simply) can be done without nvFlash in APX mode... and nobody has figured a way of doing that yet... but it's a theoretical possibility.

----

I have an Advent Vega (shuttle based), and when devs. release a new ROM, more often than not, it's a CWM .zip flashable.... BUT if a developer needs to ENLARGE the SYSTEM partition (for example, such that the ROM will 'fit'), the ROM has to be nvFlashed.

Rgrds,

Ged.

this is his post..

For any of you who are like me, and like the edge zoom feature of the LSJ leak which has for some reason been omitted from subsequent releases (not sure about MS1) I've managed to work out a solution to get this back.

1. decompile framework.jar from your LS8/LS8/MS1

2. decompile framework.jar from LSJ

3. open android\view\ScaleGestureDetector.smali from both firmwares

4. search for .method public onTouchEvent(Landroid/view/MotionEvent in both files

5. select all text between this line and its .end_method

6. replace the LS8/LSD version with the LSJ version

7. save, recompile, reflash

done

Think I'll stick with ICS for a while

Bless the bleeding edge guys that put every new rom on their devices, but, I've gotten to the point

where I don't "tweak" my device just to get an extra .03 seconds on the boot time. I prefer ROCK

STABLE.

Right now, I'm still running 4.04 LRK, with hardcore k3-15 (safety reasons). Out of all the smartphones

I've had (numerous HTC's, Dell Streak), this device, along with the combo of 4.03/k3-15 has been one of

the most stable devices I've seen.

I've weighed what JB brings to the plate, and for my uses, there really isn't anything that I would need/use,

so, for now, I think I'll stick with ICS until the JB's for the Note stabilize a bit.

Alright i have done a lot of research on this for my school paper on the android os. Here it's what i found:

There are approx 600 million plus activated android devices as of 2012 and only .5%of them have malware.

With the new 4.2.2 or 4.2.1 update there is a built in scanner that scans for viruses when downloading / installing apps. (I have it on evervolv 4.2.2 ion CDMA)

The Google play store has a malware scanner dubbed "Google Bouncer" that scans every app and update for viruses and malware before being released to the public.

What i also found is basically the only way to get viruses or malware is to download pirated / cracked apps or in general apps from somewhere else than the Google play store.

As long as you don't install fishy stuff and don't click on strange sites with downloads promising crazy things you should be fine. You took the plunge into rooting and installing ROMs you should have some sense of internet savvyness ;)

Then use V30B for Romania. I like it way better than GB. The main problems are battery usage on 3G, which is pretty high and some ppl encounter SD card unmounts, with no good reason.
