Doesn't work for me :( Tried reinstalling Orbot.

Galaxy S Froyo, UK Orange.
[Android General] txitxi2004:
Didnt work on desire.

could you explain your settings on your orbot and what version is your pandora apk
[Android General] os2baba:
@GlobaL_TroTTer

Thanks a lot. That worked like a charm.

I'm using Pandora 1.4 on a rooted stock Samsung Vibrant ROM.

In Orbot Settings,

Select Transparent Proxying.

Click on Select Apps (wait a long time for all the apps to show up). Select Pandora.

Start Pandora. Wait a while. I had Pandora setup in the US. So I don't know what happens if you are installing Pandora fresh. But for me, it started playing.

[Android General] xfile087:

[Android General] Qwest905:

[Android General] xfile087:
Aaaah, thanks for the great tip of rebooting. Works perfectly on my Desire now :D
[Android General] nicholasbgr:

[Android General] bruce007:
Same for Samsung Galaxy S. Even after reboot and reinstall..
[Android General] Surgent:

Just curious any idea how how much avg data this uses on either high/low quality?
[Android General] Roydelmon:
Not working, N1 in SA.

Thanx anyway :)
[Android General] euphorix:
works like a charm.. orbot needed a few tries to connect though so keep trying
[Android General] mdkboom:
Does not work for Galaxy S. Tested pandora 1.4.1.
[Android General] NickMl:
Another possibility is that the Tor node you're ending with isn't located in the US. Tor is a global network, so you could be ending with a node in Germany or somewhere where it isn't supported.

I'm not familiar with orbot, but you should be able to use something like "new identity" to switch to another node. Eventually, you should get one in the US.
[Android General] superalphajellybean:
it works after i messed around with the settings....i use tor on my pc and only know its on android now thanks..by the way does anyone want to share a american vpn with me if you do pm me with the details please
[Android General] replay00:
So, doesnt Orbot hide your IP? i don't like VPNs much, plus you have to pay for a good server...

Is there any way to make it work with Orbot?

Thanks for the answer..
[Android General] theja239:
It nvr asked me to pay..n i always use it for free...k for ur convinence u can use even orbot..if it dint connect..jst off the tor(orbot) n connect it again..sometimes it does not connect..thats the reason i suggested droid vpn...(try it dude try the free version) i use free version never faced a problm till now fr past 6 months...still any problem with that..post it..i try to help you..but before asking try droid vpn app in market...i use it so just suggesting you..
[Android General] replay00:
I tried, but I needed to install something to use DroidVPN and they didnt have it for my phone model ( tun.ko?) .... so Im kinda stuck with Orbot. Isnt there a way to force it to use a US IP?
[Android General] theja239:
Kk then use orbot..it will work..but some times it will not connect pandora then u need to stop and reconnect...if you are lucky it will connect otherwise it may take more than 3 times to connect but this problem is only for few and not all the time..
[Android General] var1126:
I pressed the THANKS button, and wanted to confirm this also works for me!

I found that a lot of people said "hey this works!" But I didn't know where they got it to work, or what service.

So, for my fellow CANADIANS, luvgirl12345's solution from Post #132 works beautifully for me. My stats are:

Location: Toronto, ON, CANADA

Service Provider: ROGERS Wireless

Device: Samsung Galaxy Nexus running APEX ROM (4.0.4).

WOOT! :D
[Android General] zolom:
Not available

luvgirl12345's solution had worked for a while (with Pandora 1.6), but then (after few days), I started to get the "not available in this country" again. I did uninstall, reinstall, nothing helps now.

Please advice
[Android General] theja239:
Try using other vpn..service hotspot shield is in beta u may use it...i use droid vpn..if ur phn support it i.e it ask to install tun.ko for some phns it s nt available..if it s available..it will work..as it works for me!!
[Android General] zolom:
Working now

:laugh:
[Android General] apollero:
can anyone confirm if this method still works?
[Android General] BradleyR2010:
it works just use {us} in entry and exit nodes
[Android General] denzel09:
too many problem, use simply this dns: http://www.unotelly.com/unodns/global#.UAhVP80aOkE

for pandora no need premium account, simply use these dns and done.

byr
[Android General] giant_karlik:
on Sense 4A it worked just fine, but on JellyBean Orbot gives an error of starting transparent proxying.

Any ideas why it happens?
[Android General] denzel09:
Only use dns in my previuos post. No need other app.. come on!
[Android General] giant_karlik:
sorry for the question, but where should i put that address into?
[Android General] t3ej4y:
For those having error setting up transparent proxying in jellybean: this works for me on my nexus running jb: open orbot, go to settings, scroll down to debug, check "use default iptables". It might crash after connecting but launch it again it should have green Iighted. Try launching pandora then, works for me.
[Android General] GalaxyS3III94:
worked for me too
[Android General] vNa5h:

Problem:

/data/data/org.torproject.android/app_bin/

&

/data/data/com.googlecode.droidwall.free/app_bin/iptables_armv5

do not appear to exist on my ET4G, I tried searching in es file explorer as well. I uninstalled and reinstalled DroidWall, to no avail. I must be going about it wrong.

How do you actually see these files in order to copy them :confused:

Edit: found them using the Root Explorer app. Copied it over, but still having trouble connecting. I'm on the Gingerbread Blazer ROM, upgraded from rooted stock EK02 ROM, which was working fine for transparant proxying.

Edit 2: Don't worry about it, I solved this by flashing JB, Paranoid Android. It's by far the most excellent thing to ever happen to my mobile device existence. Highly recommend it. TOR works fine btw.
[Android General] apollopayne:

[Android General] jsoldi:
Thank you so much! Listening to Pandora right now :p

By the way, I was able to install Pandora from Google Play by googling (not by searching in google play) "google play pandora radio" which would give me a link to the Pandora app in Google Play and installing to my device from there.

Also, note that you can enable Orbot only for Pandora from the settings.
[Android General] Mardon:
Here the right way how to configure Orbot for enabling Pandora outside the US.

Open Orbot

grant Superuser permissions

set it to work on a per-app basis

now in the settings, find “select apps” and check the Pandora APP

scroll down to “node configuration” in Orbot settings and put in {US} (with the brackets) for entrance and exit nodes.

Also make sure “strict nodes” is checked.

Start Orbit by long pressing the button and wait for it to turn green.

Now start Pandora and enjoy ;)

[Android General] r3h4n789:
Apologies for resurrecting the thread but when I quit orbot it seems to mess up my connection & then only works when i turn on orbot & set country to united kingdom. States my device is offline. Forced stopped & cleared data did not help.

EDIT: Nvm clearing data and uninstalling the app did the trick, ill stay safe with cloudvpn.
[Android General] cognitivedissonance:
Is this still the best way to do this? I don't want to run all my data over some questionable VPN (if that's what's being done here) but if I can select only Pandora (and Spotify) to use the VPN, then that's simple enough.
[Android General] doublematteo:
Can you just use VPN?
[Android General] Mardon:
See post #216

Gesendet von meinem Xperia Z mit Tapatalk
[Android General] cognitivedissonance:
Thanks for the info! I've got it setup, but I've got a couple questions.

1) I set it up the way you stated, but I also changed a couple of other settings (Start Orbot on Boot - turned off | Allow Background Starts - turned off | Tor Tethering - turned on to hopefully make it work on wifi too.) Are these changes ok? I posted a screenshot of my settings just to verify I have everything correct too.

2) I'm still in the US currently, and I'm wondering if there's any way to test if I have it working properly before I leave for Europe. Ideally I'd like to do any troubleshooting before I leave.

3) Would this work for Spotify too?
[Android General] cognitivedissonance:
So I'm messing with it and I see Orbot running and when I start Pandora it starts showing traffic up and down in the status bar. It also shows a US IP (Digital Ocean) but then also popped up a France IP (OVH SAS) and a Netherlands address to (Cogent Communications). Notably, loading Pandora is quite a bit slower too, which I guess I can't really complain about so long as this solution works.

Anyway, does it sound like it's working?

---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------

One more observation - I think having Orbot running is affecting traffic speeds besides Pandora. I was under the impression only Pandora would be put through Orbot, so this surprises me.
[Android General] Aumkar:
Thank you!

Works well on my Milestone ( SEA ). Had to deactivate and reactivate Orbot a few times to get it to work, but didn't reboot.
[Android General] masterpfa:
No luck here in the UK, tried on both HTC Hero and Nexus 1, both running Froyo 2.2 and Pandora Radio 1.41.

Deactivated and reactivated Orbot several times

Rebooted phone

Hit the back button when the message"Pandora is not available in your country " message has come up....

Any ideas?????

aghhh funny thing now is that I'm having trouble with it now cannot get it to work says not avalible in your county
[Android General] y2jamit:
Holy smoke. Works like magic in my country India using the method posted by the OP. Thanks a ton mate. This is truly a dream come true. I have been wanting to use Pandora for such a long time. I just can't believe it :)

By the way people who are using these apps for the first time, you also have to create a free Pandora account using a valid US Postcode ;)

Edit : Tested using both 2G and Wi-Fi and works well :) Now listening to Bryan Adams station :)
[Android General] lnoormohamed:
have you tried to wipe data in titanium backup for pandora it worked for me just now.

[Android General] xzr3b0rnzx:
got it working..when orbit disconnect.. have to try to connect again and again .. it get connected u can stream pandora.. sometimes even though it says connected .. pandora still recognises that u are not in US.. so just disconnect and try connecting again.. i got it working that way

hope that helps with u ppl having a hard time.

when u are streaming music half way or logging and "You are not in US" notification comes out .. just press back, do not press ok.. pressing ok will auto close pandora..

when u can get pandora working .. u can disconnect orbit and close it alrdy ... pandora will still be working but just don press ok when the notification pops out

how do you disconnet tor mine keeps crashing without reboott?
[Android General] BenF1:
Can I just ask, for those in the UK, this just sounds like Last Fm to me, why not use that?
[Android General] lnoormohamed:
That is a great question. My option is that when I was in the states I thought its way better than last.fm think it has a better selection of songs well that's my point of view
[Android General] bruce007:
I have been trying to get it to work for some time now on my Galaxy S. It doesn't seem to work whatever I try:

Tried different versions of Orbot (the alpha version of Orbot seems to work more stable btw, strangely enough). Used both the workaround AND Orbot, with different versions of Pandora. Still no go.

Can someone look into this and post a decent way of getting this to work? This doesn't seem to be a satisfatory solution for many at this time..
[Android General] FunkyMcBain:
Orbot won't start for me
[Android General] SophT:
another option

Hi,

just thought I would post another option. You can use OpenVPN installer/OpenVPN gui settings in combination with a US based VPN server certificate. Works like a charm

for Milestone users - you'll need to download a TUN/TAP driver (search tun.ko) for 2.1. In addition it won't work with motofrenzy b/c it needs an updated tap driver - which doesn't exist... yet.

but for everyone else, this is a great way to get to services like Pandora.
[Android General] bruce007:
Thanks SophT for your post. Could you elaborate on what the exact steps are for those (like me) with little experience with OpenVPN?

[Android General] chobie:
UPDATE: It will only work after the first launch. Rebooted and tried it again, it says connected to TOR, but when I launched Pandora, I got the "not available in your country" error. Tried numerous times already, rebooted. :(

Also tried reinstalling Orbot then rebooted. Getting the error still. Oh well.
[Android General] ext23:
i first reported that mine worked perfectly first try (rooted desire, OD 4.0), but i noticed that eventually pandora would give me the 'not available in your country' if i tried to skip/star too many songs or create too many new stations.

does this happen to anybody else?
[Android General] gtg2:
So far so good on my Bell i9000 in Canada (rooted but un-modded). Thanks.

[Android General] bullyfrog:
Guys

This may not appeal to some you but for those that can see the value in this.. I've been using PureVPN to circumvent content restrictions for awhile as there is a whole world outside of the US

For about $5 a month you're provided a VPN account that you can configure your phone or desktop to use. (works brillantly on my Nexus One)

Complete access to the following services (just to name a few)

Pandora

Launchcast

Country Music Television

rapidshare (kept getting my IP was already downloading stuff)

cartoon network :D

Lastly, no I do not work for them, but for those of us that are tired of being blocked from US content, here's how to beat it..

On android 2.x

Settings -> wireless & networks -> VPN settings ->Add VPN

Add PPTP VPN

VPN Name - PureVPN

Set VPN Server - <-will be in PureVPN's email

Enable encryption <- uncheck

Tap on the PureVPN created and login

Pandora *will* work :)

Also pull down 5VPN from the market. It remembers your VPN password so you can logon without having to key it in everytime.

Concurrent logins appear to be allowed as i can login via both desktop and phone (wifi or 3g) at the same time.

Hope this makes someone's day

[Android General] Beaverman20:

[Android General] lazarost:
Used market access so I could download pandora from the marketplace, then downloaded orbot, set it up just like the OP suggested, then fired up pandora and created a new profile (I didnt have one) and then used pandora normally.

Orbot isn't very stable and it may take a couple of tries until it actually connects to the Tor network but overall it is pretty straight forward.

Trying to do the same thing with last.fm, but it just doesn't seem to think I'm in US so I can use streaming radio. Anyone has any idea about that ?
[Android General] Beaverman20:
damn... i enable tranparent proxy, enable it for pandora, start orbot, so that the button is green... but no, it still gives me the error...
[Android General] royalmail:
finally give up.

dell streak 2.1 rooted.

though i got tor connected. but still no luck with pandora.

pandora stays on the first window for ever...

i think it's not worthy.(after many reboot and varies setting...)

going back and enjoy radiotime and last.fm...
[Android General] sasc:
Tried several times on my rooted Xperia X10, it says its connected to tor network (green) but never passes the 'Check' test using the browser in transparent mode. Giving up/waiting for the next version.

Btw, Tor can randomly connect you to any one of hundreds of relay servers around the world, what are the chances it will connect you to a US server for US only services like Pandora, etc to work. Its a game of chance. In the PC version you are able to specify ExitNode country by editing the torrc file. No such provision in Android. So, its not that useful anyway until torrc editing is made possible.

Not working for me either, using the new Orbot I hit check and it shows me not using Tor in the browser.

It appears that tor sometimes works and not maybe? I'll keep restarting the tor process until that browser changes... if it changes at all.
[Android General] ext23:
to those reporting problems, make sure in your status that your TOR is actually staying connected. i noticed that mine was disconnecting for some reason whenever i booted into pandora.

i cleared the user data form both pandora and TOR and restarted, and everything went back to being very stable. currently pumping tunes through my 3G connection in japan. :)

this has worked for me using opendesire 3.x and now 4.x. thanks again to the OP and everyone else! this is by far one of the best functions of my android.
[Android General] fulanito108:
Hi, it might not be working because using TOR does not guarantee a US IP address. Once Orbot is connected go to pages like this: http://www.ip2location.com/

To check what country you have it routed too.

There were some settings for TOR to enable only US routers, but wouldn’t know on Orbot, anyone?
[Android General] landwomble:
I can't get it working either. UK HTC Desire, on T-Mobile, running AuraxTSense 7.6 ROM.

[Android General] Knight77:
This!

I confirm that - following the instructions of the first post (THANKS!!!) - it works! BUT...many times it happens you have to deactivate/activate Orbot since it connects to some proxy outside US. Is there any way to force a US proxy?
