Since I have upgraded to cyanogens 4.19 and later builds using the new market, It seems that 95% of my downloads are unsuccessfull. I am living in China and love my phone but can only deduce that China is blocking downloads. This occurs over both wifi and edge connections.

Any ideas how to get around this??????
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icebergxx:
If you have Amons recovery image just boot into the recovery image, click fix permissions and whatever else that says fix.

I think that has helped with some US people having similar problems with the market, not so much country.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntiNSA:
Greetings ! I have tried running fix_permissions , with the stock fix permissions and the updated fix_permissions script with no success..

Thanks for your reply all help is greatly appreciated!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icebergxx:
Hmm.. Well I know people have had that Cyan problem before with the market and I know there is a terminal script to fix it, but I'm sure it's pages deep buried in bull****.

So I'd suggest making a nandroid backup, then wiping and flashing to another build, I personally use a Soulife build and I love it, enjoy it more than a Cyan build. I'm still on 1.5 though and I don't really care. But yea.

Is this because of the new radio required by google? Is this because of the new market? Is this simple a flat out great firewall of china block? Are there any proxies available for the market? Any alternative to market? SSlide is very limited. Thanks

I can synch, but even that is not very stable.

I have used my phone since the dudes long ago and no problems through all roms until the 4.19 series...

Currently on c 4.21 stable... dream G1
[G1 General] Deathwish238:
Have you tried a different ROM perhaps? Or at the very least wiped/cleared ext3 and put CM back on?
[G1 General] Ayerwin:
edited your hosts with:

this is real necessary for login google account & market due to damn&f**k GFW of china
[G1 General] AntiNSA:
I have tried the last 2 or three cyanogen roms. Also I have tried the stock google 1.6 dev rom. I have reformatted my partitions, and wiped several times. Thanks for your reply. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Doesn't China sensor certain things because it's an communist country? I'm not trying to be an ass, but that might be the reason. I think google sensors webpages and searches because of government regulations.
[G1 General] AntiNSA:
Great! Can you tell me how to do this! It is so annoying! I am having a problem even using gmail.
[G1 General] superq_915:
It has been a long time since china blocked something.

you can replace your hosts file.

Since you live in china,why not go to

www.androidin.net & www.hiapk.com
[G1 General] AntiNSA:
I know about these sites... the only problem is I can speak some Chinese, but not read or write it :(.... I hardly have time to learn so I came here!

Thanks for any ideas.. any one know how to edit the hosts as the posster a couple of posts up described?
[G1 General] Ayerwin:
upzip attached and copy to /system/etc with SUFBS or RootExplorer.

or use below in windows "CMD"

adb remount

adb push "path of hosts file" /system/etc
[G1 General] superq_915:
try this

extract the 2 files to 1 folder,connect your G1 with your PC

than run push.bat and enjoy it.

You need android usb drivers&adb before doing this.
[G1 General] superq_915:
If mine doesn't work,try Ayerwin's hosts file.

replace mine hosts with his,than run push.bat.

mine method is simpler ^_^
[G1 General] AntiNSA:
I used the abd method from aryewin first , rebooted and tried to install the speech synthesis files from the market...It is downloading as I type this. Thank you. It is hard to say if it worked yet because 5% of the time downloads work. I will test it using the new hosts file today and report back as soon as I get some time. Thank you so much for your quick help there are so many things I use from the market this can really help if it is successfull.
[G1 General] Tipika:
i am also in china now, if you do a logcat you see that the market cannot estabilish an ssl connection

for me, a reboot (or using wifi with china unicom) fixes the problem

are you on china mobile (edge) or china unicom (umts)?

i think it is just temporary, as for me 90% of download works, and also i managed to buy 5 paid apps using market enabler

edit: putting youtube.com in the hosts file will make youtube work?? it sounds strange, che GFC is so strict in its checks (lol try to go on wikipedia to take a look for freegate, and see the epic fail, the page will load and then "magically" return an error)

i tried on my pc and i get

(cannot find google.cn)

this is because google tried to do the smart guy, and put youtube and google on the same ip address (to avoid ip blacklisting)

unfortunately the gfc is not stupid and will do DNS poisoning on some domains...

btw i can do everything with my g1 in china, everything works, gtalk, maps, push gmail, market (except youtube, twitter, facebook, and nimbuzz)

i am using china mobile (cmnet), maybe is that you are using cmwrap+cmwap? it is no wonder that it will fail to connect if you do so...
[G1 General] AntiNSA:
Checking back in I can say the new hosts file made the market run great the last three hours. Its great to have unlimited access again.

Yes, I am too using cmnet. Its too bad we cant use Chinese 3g with our g1. My phone has also worked great since I got it. The best phone in the world I have ever had.

It has been my experiance that China blocks sites differently in different regions and cities. Using China Mobile here.

If you are having a problem, I would suggest you using the host file in this thread. Has worked so far for me.

cyanogen 4.21

Thanks for everyones help.
[G1 General] wngmv:
I heard you can access twitter by android platform frome China and have seen people tweet from China using twidroid. I'm not sure if which service provider they use. But this may suggest something else wrong there.

Moreover, try to set your google service as .com instead of .cn. That one's totally useless. Massive amount of keywords are filtered out.

Good luck bro. It's really sad they are doing this do mobile network. Dunno what would happen to the iPhone network tho.
[G1 General] Tipika:
yes, it looks the market it is working good with the new hosts, but i cant tell for sure

adding youtube/twitter on the hosts file has no effect

the GFW does packet sniffing imho, it detects i am going on blogspot even if i am using a proxy!

btw, for the filtered sites, on the pc i don't care, i've setup a VPN from europe for that :cool:

you can replace google.cn with google.com, but it is not the same. you can use the automated translator, and the cached page feature only of the chinese website

and the result is the same

if you search for "freegate" on google.cn you get a warning "illegal search"

if you search for that on google.com you get a DNS error that will "kick you out" from all google-owned servers unless you do ipconfig /flushdns

btw there is a chance to use the 3g on the g1 in china, with china unicom (umts)

too bad, i went to 8 different china unicom reseller and none of them were speaking english, so i was "forced" to use china mobile (edge)

the china mobile agent insisted to give me the 30mb/month flat, as 2gb "is too much", and insisted to come back when the limit was reached

she was shocked when i come back the day after :cool: "how did you use all of the 30mb in a single day???"
[G1 General] cjesse:
I'm in beijing, people in china must use proxy to visit twitter, like dabr. Market works for me without hosts change on cm4.2.1 and KiNgxKx ROM 2.0. Thanks for these great roms.

I can use china unicom 3g, it's works ok.

I'll try it again later 2nite and get the exact error msg also I partitioned my 2gb sd. Using amon recovery but my card isn't high class I bought a new class 6 that I'm gonna use for 2nites attempt
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAguirre1231:
Have you tried repartitioning, not just wiping the ext? That usually fixes most problems with KingxKxRom
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
Doesn't sound like you are doing a system wipe prior to flashing the ROMs. Make sure you wipe of the phone and the ext partition prior to flashing. I'm assuming you have your card partitioned with fat32/ext3/linux-swap partitions in that order...if not, that could also be your problem.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynx_hanan:
Hi everyone,

I just recently bought an Unlocked g1 and tried to Load JacHero ROM on it .

the guide i was following was this

http://forums.t-mobile.com/tmbl/board/message?board.id=AndroidDev&message.id=13411#M13411

Briefly

I unrooted frst and then install Android 1.6 Rooted version. and then set the recovery image by using the flash_image to cm-recovery-1.4.img. Then i copied and successfully installed the Hero ROM. it was working great and perfectly. after a few days i wanted to go back to Rooted Android 1.6. I repeated the same steps. i had a working copy of Android 1.6 Dev Phone . by updati9ng to JF - 1.5. It was working a .ok. then i wanted to partition my meme card. I waent into Terminal. Set the flash-Image again. Rebooted to recovery mode. went into console. then i ran gparted. and partitioned my 2 gb (1873 MB) card.

here are the commands i ran

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 1297

mkpartfs primary ext2 1297 1809

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 1809 1873

then i did upgarde_fs

but after this step my G1 is stuck at the G1 Logo. I cannot go into recovery mode or fastmode . ?? If anyone can point me to what should I do. ??

I tried unbricking processes as when i googled. but that too requires me to go to recovery mode . Waiting anxiously.. :(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jndd333:
do you have access to the bootloader? (with phone powered off, press and hold camera button+power button till the splash screen is displayed) If you can access that, I would poke around the threads for more info, your phone is not bricked. Otherwise, you may have a new paperweight:(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
Sounds obvious, but have you tried removing or replacing the sdcard and booting into recovery? You brick your phone by partitioning an sdcard, but i suppose the card could be corrupted and preventing startup.. i dont know, im clutching at straws.

To my knowledge the only way to fully brick a g1 is the infamous spl.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynx_hanan:
I cant access boot loader ...

maybe my method for reverting back to Android 1.6 wasn't correct.

the complete steps for installing Stock 1.6 -> JacHERO -> Android 1.6 Rooted were as below

after i got JacHERO installed i did the following, I installed DREAMimg.nbh again.

ww.androidctivity.com/root/root.apk automatically downloaded the SPL and Radio and i installed them after rebooting. after that i downloaded the JV v1.5 ADP and installed it .. worked perfectly. next i thought (maybe i made a mistake) that im going to partition the sd card by following the method

http://forums.t-mobile.com/tmbl/board/message?board.id=AndroidDev&message.id=13411#M13411

and gave the following commands.

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 1297

mkpartfs primary ext2 1297 1809

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 1809-1873

and then quit and upgrade_fs

and then rebooted it. it got stuck. then i thought maybee the partition tabel is incorrect so i formatted on XP ,but it didnt work, it doesnt even run without a SDCARD. only problem is i cant get into END + HOME or END + CAMERA mode.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
If you were doing all those steps every time, it's entirely possible you've ended up flashing an old radio with the new spl, in which case, you're bricked. Once you had the rooted recovery image installed, there was no need to ever mess with spl's and radios again.

If you really can't get into recovery, then there's nothing you can do to fix it. Another brick in a very large pile. Sorry.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynx_hanan:
Yeah but i had successfully reverted back to Android 1.6 (though not the proper was as you just told ). I had a working roooted 1.6 which i was using for quite some time. It wasnt hanging when i rebooted. ? .. it was after all this that i decided to Partition the sdcard. what you are saying is correct but i feel result of that should have been instantaneous ????? when i did reboot recovery from terminal and went into console and did these steps it actually happened :(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
Well if that's the case I can't explain it.. If you went straight into the recovery console from a working installation and didn't flash anything before using parted, I have no idea how you could've bricked.. :confused:

You could try installing the android SDK on your pc, run ddms from the tools folder, then connect your phone by usb and check the logs to see if anything is happening. If you get an output in the logs, post it here and we might be able to suggest something.. If there's no output at all then you are probably bricked.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynx_hanan:
@goldenarmzz .. its not being detected. i think its bricked. :( .. Thanks for the cooperation guys.

BTW is there anyway i could seel this or make some money for my new fone maybe get it repaired or something. Its not in warranty.????
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] sanco60:
I met the problem that it always failed when the progress was 3%. i downloaded several roms from internet. how could i know the original rom of my device(p800 in China)??? Besides, my device could just enter the boot mode, so it's impossible to make a synchronize connection or to unlock spl.

and The worst thing is that there are several hours(not minutes) between each time to power on it. It means i should wait 1 or 2 or 3 hours (who the hell know) to re-flash it after i was failed to flash previously.

Had anybody met the same trouble of mine? that's really make me crazy.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] davidgee:
Adobe Reader good or not?

I'm not sure if I'm missing something or not. I've downloaded the texts I want to read, which are only available in pdf format. When I read them on the device with the ready-installed Adobe Reader, the text is too small to see. If I zoom in to get to a readable size, then the writing goes off the side of the screen, meaning I have to scroll left then right for every line. Am I missing something? Is there another reader for pdf which would allow me to edit the texts, or should I convert texts to another format, if so, which one? Sorry, but I'm new to this. Thanks for your help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] michi123:
You can enable the reflow-option in the preinstalled adobe reader, so you don´t have to scroll back and forth. With a registry editor (if you don´t have one - get one!!) change HKCU>Software>Adobe>AdobeReaderLE2.5>EnableReflow from 0 to 1.

Now you´ll find the option in the adobe reader menu....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] davidgee:
Thank you

Thank you so much michi123, just did it and it's fantastic. It's the first time I've used a Registry Editor. Wasn't too difficult but my gran couldn't do it and I wonder why such a basic need is so difficult to achieve. Anyway. I have the docs now which is great. But is there a better doc reader that allows some editing of pdf documents, with bookmarks etc for a better user experience? It is the main thing I want to use the TP2 for.

Hello,

I am using C# to send SMS from an application i'm writing.

i have tried either

1) Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.SmsMessage

2) [DllImport("sms.dll")] int SmsSendMessage(...

but in both cases i need to specify a FULL phone number including country code (i.e. +972544...)

if i specify a regular number, the SMS won't reach.

the interesting thing is that when i use the built in SMS Phone's application and specify a regular number, the messages do reach.

So, have i missed something? Is there a standard way to make my messages be sent (have i forget a flag, special way of calling the API or what ?!)

Many thanks
