So...does this work?
[Android Apps and Games] mizch:
No, not without other software which must be already running.

127.0.0.1 doesn't only "resemble" localhost, it is localhost and has always been since the early days of IP networking.

[Android Apps and Games] MicroBeta:
Actually, 127.0.0.1 is a local host, or a loopback IP address; meaning it will loop back to the host machine, i.e. in this case your own phone. Further, the 127.0.0.0 address block is reserved and is a non-routable IP address.

It's important to understand because by using that IP address you aren't actually going out on the internet so it can't possibly give you access to Pandora. Although, I’m not sure if it causes something else that helps but I doubt it. It would seem more likely that your temporary access was coincidental rather than the reason for it. That would also explain why others were unable to replicate this.

For further information...

wow, this is one of the funniest "tech" threads I've ever read. It's so funny, it's actually sad. Sad like this is exactly what all the developers where I work are like: none of them have any concept of even the most fundamental and simple basics of networking, like loopback.

[Android Apps and Games] cruiserbax:
Not sure where on XDA I found a link to this but it sure enlightened my day LOL I read some of it to my wife who was an aircraft electrician in the Navy and knows very very little about computers or networking and she still knew what that IP was from past conversation I would guess. what's sad is that after being told it was localhost he/she didn't even google it before defending them selves....

so really the point of thread is that pandora strictly uses 80/81 and as long as you use a different port you will get it to work? and 8118 in this case is arbitrary right?

[Android Apps and Games] juliatan:
Could be some coincedance, but I do not trust Orbot.

Yesterday tried it for first time and it worked. But after work I could't login to my Gmail and got the message from Google my account was blocked due to several succesful suspicious logins. The list shows logins from tor-ip's all over the world from China to Germany.

How my (very long and strong) password was stolen is kind of a mistery, because I never typed or used it while using that first time Tor. It is however a too big coincedance to me to use it ever again.

[Android Apps and Games] O2Blevel:
That is how tor works, you get ip addresses from different countries. When google sees an ip from a country other than the one you normally log in from it considers that "suspicious activity". Just log in to your email account without using tor and open google's suspicious activity email and check where it says "is this you" or similiar wording and eventually google will unblock your account. On a computer you can configure tor to use an ip from your country I don't know if you can do the same with orbot, you might want to look into it.

lalahai - haha fail!

Simply had to use Google+to login JUST so i could pay something on this thread. This guy lalahai actually accused people of knowing nothing about computers and networking AFTER making the assertation that 127.0.0.1 was a pandora/tor server of some kind!! I thought he was joking at first... Being ironic... But upon further reading it transpired that he was deadly serious and thought 127.0.0.1 was somehow similar to localhost but it wasn't localhost and by some magic was being used by Pandora to steam music to his device over wifi. Saying "I can tell you obviously know nothing about computers!" after you've just told the world that the reason 127.0.0.1 doesn't work is because "the server is down right now" has to rate as the funniest fail I've read all year!! Lalahai you have a special place in my heart!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bad Daddy:
Never mind. I had to uninstall the HTC drivers (required for the RUU) and reinstall the drivers I used when I originally rooted.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wisenick:
I've been searching this one for a while and here is what i've gathered...

you must be deoxed (which skyraider is) and obviously you you need 2.2 and flash 10.1, the Nexus one can do it
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wisenick:
Whambam I've got it! You don't need to be deoxed and all that jazz. To use the hulu app you will need the modified version of flash. But to watch on the browser you can use the newest version of flash.

Step 1. Open the browser app

Step 2. Clear the url and type "about:debug" then press go (if you did it right nothing will happen)

Step 3. Press menu>more>settings

Step 4. Scroll down UAString then select" desktop"

Tada!!!!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yatman60:
Wisenick,

Doesn't work. I tried that change and went to hulu.com and tried to watch a video and the embedded player on the site says that the browser is not supported.

I'm running the stock 2.2 os (4 day old Incredible and no root).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wisenick:
try using these apps
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] busterbrown77:
If your still having issues running Hulu on Skyraider, run the 3.1 patch. If you ran it, do it again. Fixed it for me...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanTX:
I am running stock 2.2 as well with no root. I downloaded that Hulu pack, tried to watch a TV episode and it said platform not supported. I then tried to install that modified Flash install file and it said that it would not install. I am currently running 10.1.95.2.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] inlovewithandroid:
Ok I am wanting to check out some of the other roms but I don't want to lose everything on my phone. Will flashing a new rom to my phone cause me to lose all my apps, texts, and the like?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Yes... it's like installing a new Operation System on your computer.

You can make Nandroid backup before you flash a new rom!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shoemeistah:
You can also use the app called 'Titanium backup' to restore your apps on a different ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] invertedskull:
I bought an app called MyBackup Pro (see here). Does anyone else use this app or know if when I root my Magic will this keep all my apps for me? I've used this app twice to backup my apps and data when I've done a factory reset, but not on a root yet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] TheForgotten:
yes that was my issue with installing a rom. What the smart people do is make sure all of their contacts are stored on their google acount, and their google account is linked to their phone so when you install a new rom it will automaticly put all your contacts and apps back on. Make sure the new ROM has can google sync your stuff

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaquiel Harris:
Hello Guys. I was hoping on buying this phone tomorrow. I love the look, the screen, processor etc etc but i see a little lack of amount of Devs like i thought i would see. Coming from being a G1 user for about 2 years now and being in the dream forum you guys probably know where im going with this (constant roms, constant upgrades, hacks for absolutely no reason making having the same ROM for too long annoying) was wondering was this phone a worthy buy? or are things just at a slow pace for now? would hate to buy this phone just for it to get over shadowed by the G2 being available soon and then having absolutely NO dev support anymore now seeing as Cyanogen himself is getting the G2 and there hasn't been a cm6 let alone anything from him released for this device.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Theres a 2 page thread with what you're looking for right below this thread.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaquiel Harris:
While i'm completely grateful for your reply, i must say i've already read that thread and it actually generated my question of if its a worthy buy strictly upon dev work reasons. but thanks very much.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
So you thought it would of been a better idea to post a NEW thread about it than replying to the thread that is pretty much relating to the same thing you're looking for as the OP in the other thread?

The vibrant beats the G2 in every other way in terms of hardware. The only reason why its going slow at the moment is because you aren't aware of what has been going on. CM6 was off to a slow start because WesGarner was working on the myTouch Slide before working on the vibrant but now his priority is to get CM6 up and running. CyanogenMod is already promised for the Galaxy S in 6.1, another reason why it is off to a slow start is because Samsung and HTC do their systems differently so it takes time to learn the environment and all that (I'm not a developer so.. I'm 100% correct about this).

It is still a top-notch phone based on benchmarks, yeah there are other factors based to it but the Hummingbird processor is the fastest processor on the market for Android phones. On top of that with Super AMOLED, it pretty much makes it so that when you look at your G1 it looks tiny. 4" is definitely the perfect size.

I'm sure once CM6 is up and running on Vibrant, things will start to roll up. I believe benbuchacher (known for his famous works: SuperD, SuperE, and incoming SuperF) has a Vibrant, Eugene_373 and justanothercrowd are some of the great developers that have been hard at work for giving us things to play with until CM6 is ready. There are many other developers out there that I haven't listed (sorry^)

The Galaxy S is also a international phone (as well as the four major U.S. carriers, people who want the keyboard on the Galaxy S have a option for the Epic 4G), a lot of the files are very similar and tweaks/hacks would work fine. So.. yeah in my opinion its a worthy buy, you have a 14-day (or 30) to return if it doesn't satisfy you.

You can follow their progress on Twitter & WesGarner's GitHub ( http://github.com/wesgarner )
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaquiel Harris:
That other thread was comparing a g2 to a vibrant. asking which was a better buy. I know every Dev you posted along with the basics of the vibrant etc Etc. Not a noob here in the slightest way ;) Was just wondering from a person who has the phone thats all. The bold was exactly what i was wondering and was looking for so thank you for answering that question. Was planning on trying to port some the millions of ROMS from the dream over to this Phone but now i know why i don't see most of them already here. Gonna Do some research Now. Thanks alot fellow. And Yes I did think it was going to be a Better idea since you answered It quickly, efficiently, and there was no reason to read comments on things i wasn't really concerned about to find my answer. See how it worked out? :p;):D Thanks again.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
It's starting to leap ahead slowly. They found out how to flash kernels thru recovery just a couple of days ago so there isn't much more need for using a program called Odin to flash kernels. Odin can be pretty unreliable sometimes with the random crashing, I have yet to experience this but some people have. Definitely makes the job easier.

I was a huge fan of the "Super" ROMs, I definitely know what you mean by ROMs.. there would be a new one every other day and it would be fun to flash them and try it out then nandroid back. I'm certainly hoping for the same thing here, I'll admit that it is a little bit difficult when all the phones are seperated with their own forum but there is a proposal going around about merging all of them together (I9000,Fascinate,Epic 4G,Vibrant,Captivate)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talltexan:
Sadly i think the Vibrant is a great phone but wont have quite the dev as the G2 will. The G2 will probably be picked up by the likes of Cyanogen himself so it will depend on if a dev like him wants to keep it going or not. Had Cyanogen picked up the Vibrant and ran with it i think it might have had more possibilities. However i picked up the phone i had the G1 for 1.5 years (was a T-mobile Employee and got it 2 weeks before launch) and then switched to unlocked iphone for .5 years now im on the vibrant and im loving it. The android community has grown since i have been gone however i think since its samsung and not HTC that is what the problem is.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
The main reason why Cyanogen picked up the G2 is because he doesn't condone manufacturers to put their custom interfaces over it. Cyanogen prefers stock Android. The OP said himself that he is a porter so he is a developer, I don't think it'd be a wise idea for everybody to just follow Cyanogen because there are definitely the people using the Galaxy S phones who would enjoy the same amount of modding.

There is larger room to make a name for yourself simply because there are less developers but there is definitely a large community for the phone that wants modding support.
