The endless irritation of automatic logout...

Sick of it.
I open a tab for xda-developers and leave it to load, log in, browse for a while, and go away to make a coffee, sort an issue for a colleague, play Teeter, whatever, and I'm logged out.
How can I stop this? I know it's only a small issue, but when it's every time I come to download a file, view a picture, post a comment, it becomes tiresome.

I supose that you always click the "remember me" button right?
Strange issue, I never had that on my Opera browser...

Just enable "remember me" button on your browser, then try again.

Remember me won't work; I don't keep a persistent cache (even for cookies).
I understand why a bank would have a session timeout measured in minutes, but a mobile phone forum? Seems like overkill...!

if you have firefox you could try password manager addons (i use sxipper)
most have autologon features (i think)

I agree with you totally. I've never seen this on any site apart from sites where cash transactions are involved. Why do we have to get auto logged out. It's so annoying

+1 Sooo annoying!

Noob either use cookies or stop QQing

Nothing to do with cookies. I have cookies enabled and get logged out while sitting here on the site. Like the OP said, I open a new tab and look around for a min on another site. Then go back to the xda tab and am frequently logged out. I am using Firefox also. And the fact that this is the only site that it happens on tells me its something on the site, not our settings. I frequent a good number of forums, and it doesn't happen elsewhere.

BUMP! This is still a problem, even when I check "Remember me".
What's the big idea? Why isn't this configurable? Not even 10 minutes and I'm logged out - I can barely make a full post without have to log in twice.
My new habit of copying everything I just wrote to the clipboard before posting, on top of being tedious, really shouldn't be necessary.

Stop using Internet Explorer, update Firefox, enable cookies, don't try to be a security freak using programs like CCcleaner often. Haven't had that problem on my mac with chrome, but I do have it happen on my computer at school, but that's because all of the settings are cleared every time I log off.

I'm thinking that site owners don't care that this behaviour annoys people, which is a shame - as it's profoundly irritating!
Another site I use a lot, which used to leave you logged in, has just started to do this too. Does it save on server load or something?

Didntt ever happen with me, and i use different versions of chrome on various platforms, alongwith firefox, am logged in always

on my dreambox for some reason the user or password has been changed from default and i cant figure it out.

Yes, it reduces the size of the session table, keeping the site a little faster.
It's a necessary evil unfortunately. Why not allow the single cookie storing session and the "remember me" password hash?

Am pissed off with this too...
I use ie9 and firefox (latest) with default settings. The site logs me off in a few mins.
Never happened to me in the past.. and am a regular user.
I use remember password too but still annoying.

Same problem here on latest chrome. Though it is not so much frequent.

Anyone try this yet?

I installed it this morning, was pretty excited. However, it doesnt navigate to downloaded .torrent files on your sd. It says "to begin, use the browser to open a torrent file" but I cant seem to get my browser to just open a torrent file. Not sure if I'm not doing something correctly, or if the app is garbage. Anyone else?

Decided to try it out myself. I had no problems with using the browser to get torrents. Only problem i seem to have is that torrents from private trackers wont start.

for the people who have used it....is it worth getting? dont feel like buying then returning it if i dont like it...

trying it now seeing how it works

I've got it working now. Torrent wont start though, downloaded from mininova.

yea I have the same problem

in its current form its not worth getting, i can get nothing to actually download.... maybe will get fixed with updates

You all say its not worth it at the moment, does anyone else have an alturnative Android seriously seems to be lacking one atm.

can anyone post the logcat output from when this is running? I'm curious to see if there are any error messages when you cant connect.

It says FOSS but I don't seem to be able to find the sources for this.

I just run rtorrent in Debian on my phone. Works like a charm.

Hi guys!
I made this!
I added an update today which should fix that private tracker thing. It was a problem with port collisions.. my fault.
Let me know if you have any more problems, feedback is appreciated. Source is coming, just need to clean it up..
Rich

If you're having specific problems, please send me the actual .torrent, your location, your network connectivity and your build.
Some people are claiming that it says they don't have space, but I can't recreate this bug and I'm wondering if it's a custom build thing.

mine says the same thing about there not being enough space. Im wondering if its not pointing to the SD cards location?

Fixed that bug.

anotherbittorrent client abtc
I started using the program about a week ago and found out that if u use btjunkie website most will start to download. I have had a problem with the downloads stopping and not resuming. U can only download one torrent at a time. If while downloading u plug in your phone to charge the torrent will quit downloading. I can't wait till the software gets a couple more updates. Then I probley will start passing 25gig a month downloaded thru tmobile.

This app still does not download anything for me. I just tried dowloading Ubuntu with it.

[Q] Comixology App

Hi guys! Been trying to purchase comics using the Comixology app... problem is... it keeps popup up an error stating "Sorry, the transaction failed. The Paypal billing service may not be available at this time. Could you please send us a not to let us know?"
I send the comixology guys a note and they already gave me the same advise 3x... that I reboot, force stop, etc. the app... tried and failed. I even went to the point of re-downloading the entire app.
I have no problem downloading "free" comics... but can't purchase them on my gtab... I tried the app on my wife's android phone (I used my comixology account on her phone) and I did not encounter the problem that keeps displaying on my gtab. Anyhow, maybe someone had some experience on this problem? A solution? Through gtab?

I didn't even know there was an Android version out there! (see what happens when you go offline for a day).
Did you get this from the market?

I've used Comixology for a little over a week now. Very nice app. I downloaded the app from the market.

logcat:
Code:
E/ComicDetail(11064): Payment failed: errorid=-1 msg=Application not authorized
I just installed it. I am a big comic reader, so I would like to get this working, as well. Delving deeper, now....
EDIT: What UI are you running, just curious. Stock? TnT Lite? VEGAn? Other?
EDIT2: My guess right now is that PayPal is supposed to pop-up, and I'm assuming that it's using the canned web browser. Does that sound right? If so, it could be the TnT proprietary browser causing issues. I might be able to prove that with using a different mod, such as the VEGAn.
EDIT3: Also curious -- do you have the PayPal app on the phone? I can't seem to find it in the Market on my GTab. I'm basically stopping at this point anyway, as I wouldn't want to store my PayPal password on my GTab anyway, as it's just not secure imo. Adding my Facebook or Pandora ID is one thing, but anything financial is where I draw the line.
Maybe I can purchase on my PC, then this app with sync? That would work (at least for me).

Roebeet,
Sorry I can't help. I've been only reading free comics up-to-now.

Their desktop PC store doesn't accept PayPal? What's up with that?
Holding off, for now. Seems like they need to still work some things out.

Answer 1: I'm using VEGAn... with Launcher Pro.
Answer 2: Yes... there should be a screen that will allow you to log-in to your Paypal account... saw this on my wife's android phone. Her phone was not rooted by the way... and using all the default software.
Answer 3: Yes I have the Paypal app... but decided to remove it. Regardless, its not working on both cases.
I believe the problem is with the ROM? No problem downloading and viewing free comics... not sure what will happen if I downloaded using my wife's phone (my account) then load up my app again via my gtab. It should display all my purchased comics (If one will believe the marketing hehe).

FYI, I also got an email back from comiXology:
"BTW, you can buy comics on https://comics.comixology.com and then download them to the app. You'll need to restart the app and your purchases will appear in My Comics."
I figured this was the case - the only issue I see if that PayPal is not a payment option. This whole setup seems a bit messy, so I think I'll wait until it's a little more stable. Anything that asks for my credit card info needs to be stable and secure, not "beta".

Thanks roebeet. Hmm, maybe this will open up some things... maybe for the devs... I used my wife's android phone... I was able to purchase the comics that I wanted and I force stopped the app in my gtab and launched it again. I was now able to download the purchased comic on my gtab... unfortunately, I still can't purchase anything on the comixology app on my gtab and will have to jump to my wife's cell just to buy it then download it unto my gtab. I believe it to be an issue with the ROM... anyone able to purchase anything on another ROM?

I have actually purchased quite a few things on my gtablet. I bought something from TigerDirect with a credit card, I bought a stand from ebay using paypal, and I have bought about 6 apps from the market specifically for my gtablet since the apps are better with the bigger screen. When I purchased with Paypal I was using Xscope as the browser.

I mean... has anyone able to purchase comics on this app... coz so far haven't been able too... at least on gtab running VEGAn.

Oh sorry

No problem The Comixology dev team already emailed me regarding the bug... and I informed them that it might be because I'm using a rooted device... hopefully, they can fix the problem that would allow paypal purchase (even on rooted devices). ^^

downloaded comics keep needing to be re-downloaded
I've been using the Comixology app for a few weeks and overall I have been very happy with it. However, today I began to experience a weird issue with comics I have purchased (on their website) which are then ready to download when I open the Android app. I click the Download Now button and it shows the download progress (10%, 15%, etc...) until it is completely downloaded and the botton changes to Read Now. I click on it to open the comic and it comes up fine. I close the app and go back into it and then it shows the comic needs to be downloaded again (it says Download rather than Read). It has happened several times today. It is getting frustrating. Has anyone else seen this behavior?
Update: By default, the Comixology app is set to use 500MB of storage. The comics stopped disappearing once I increased the storage limit.

Google+ "Invite Available" Notification Script

Purpose
With all the rage around getting a Google+ invite, there is a small problem: Even with an invite, you might not be able to get into Google+ for several days. nibras_reeza and I have been working on a script that, once you've received an invite, will keep checking the signup page to see if you can sign up. YOU MUST HAVE AN INVITE FOR THIS SCRIPT TO BE USEFUL!
Features
* Automatically checks Google for when registration is open
* Displays a running total of refreshes
* Works in Chrome, Firefox, and IE (w/ Trixie)
Special Thanks
Nibras Reeza - motivated and helped me write this; running the notification form and general debugging
"_mousey" - fixed a caching issue, IE support, and debugging
"thrasher9" - "how many times have I pinged Google?"
Version
0.000005 - Fixing stupid merge issues (thanks Nibras and _mousey!) and merged _mousey's IE support (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15456658&postcount=201)
0.000004 - Merged changes from Nibras, _mousey, and thrasher9 into the main script
0.000001 - Initial
Instructions
READ THIS!
1. Install this script. For Chrome, simply download the file, drag it to Chrome, and authorize the install
2. Go to your Google+ invite, click on the "Join Google+" link
3. The script should take over--your browser will jump to the "Field Test" page. You can monitor this progress by pressing Ctrl-Shift-J to view the javascript console.
4. When registration "opens", the script will stop refreshing. You should see a form on the page asking for some info to sign up. DO THIS AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE!
5. Come back here and post about your success!
Note 1: Just because you see the sign-up form doesn't mean you'll get in. Therefore, it is pointless to leave this running overnight; even though you may see a sign-up form in the morning, chances are it won't work.
Note 2: If Google is not displaying in English, then you'll need to edit line 45. More info here (Thanks _mousey!) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15430390&postcount=161.
Note 3: If you want to run this in IE, use Trixie (Thanks _mousey!) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15425549&postcount=152
Implementation
(the boring stuff)
Original post: Link
Attached is a Greasemonkey script for Google Chrome (probably doesn't work for Firefox...). Install it in your browser, click the "view or comment" link in the invite you received. The script will find the "Join Google+" link, save the URL, then navigate to the page. If the page contains a DIV with "Field Trial", it will wait 5 seconds, then refresh. This should happen until either a) Invites work again, b) Google opens G+ to the world, or c) Google gets pissed at you and blocks your address.

I successfully used this script to sign up for Google+, and so have many other people.

Not necessary anymore. Use the version by Adam above. He integrated mine into his.
TIP for Android users:
(Some said this works but I can't make any guarantee. Worth a try.)
Apply for an invite in my form using a GMail account. Once you receive my invite, download Google+ from the Market(use Market Enabler or Root Toolbox and emulate a US carrier if you are outside US. You need ROOT.)
Now, sign into your GMail account on your phone. (Settings->Accounts and Sync->New Account->Google) Skip this if you submitted the account you already use on phone.
Open up Google+ on Android and sign in.
ONLY ONE PERSON HAS TO RUN THE SCRIPT. ANYONE CAN CHECK STATUS PUBLICLY.
SCRIPT UPDATED. USE THE NEW VERSION.
Here's a fork I made. This version logs available times publicly on a Google Docs Spreadsheet. I want someone who has a spare unused invite and has not registered to run it continuously.
And, I owe a lot for Adam to working so hard to write the script. He did all the hard work of digging into the code. xD I just made a fork. lol
Here's the public URL(TIME IS IN +0530GMT/+1030EST):
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...pUTOhdHdwLUZOTmlOWHNvbzR0M19iSTNzdmc&hl=en_GB
Just subscribe by notifications for changes made to the doc and you will be notified by email when registrations are open.

Exactly.

Think of it as a club: You're standing in line (G+ invite) waiting to get in. The bouncer finally decides to let a few people in (registration is open). You get lucky and he lets you in (success).

Damn! Wish I had my invite right now!
Are you still sending invites to the ones that registered to your spreadsheet?
Great work anyway!
Just another quick question which time zone is used for the times?

I did send an bulk invite a few minutes back. It's taking hours to go through.
The time on what? My spreadsheet which says when registrations are open? It's SLST(+0530GMT). I'll try to change it to EST.

Hello Nibras,
I installed the script and removed all cache and then clicked on the 'view or comment on Nibras's post'. It automatically navigated to the registration page but then never refreshed! or is it refreshing and I can't tell?
What do you mean by 'DIV with "Field Trial"'? How can I tell if the page contains it? sorry if this was a dumb question, but I don't understand it.

It's adam's script. Not mine. Don't bother about the div stuff. It just explains how the script works.
Just install the script on Chrome or Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey.
Click view or comment on nibras's post. Then the script will reload the signup page till Google allows signups. (Make sure you are signed into your Google account before you try all these.)

idk how to use this script? all it does is it blocks me from visiting the google plus website because it is killing my chrome with a lot of spamming a page which says: "available!" which will open many times until my chrome crashes
EDIT: damn my fault, i need to get the invite mail first! im sorry !

As long as it keeps refreshing your page, it is working. I would suggest moving the window off to the side and keep an eye on it. The right hand side of the page that tells you there is no room will switch to a log-in form whenever Google feels like it. The script itself doesn't make Google give you the invite any faster, it just makes you aware that you can sign-up within 5 seconds of it being available.

Mucho thanks, hopes I gets lucky now.

This is the console open for around 5 minutes with no msgs. I know its not refreshing, but I don't know why. I downloaded you zip file and extracted the JS file, then opened a blank chrome page and dragged the file into the blank page, it asked me if i want to install it and i clicked continue. When I go to extensions I can see G+ invited there. When I open the 'comment or view' link, it takes me to the post with the red button saying 'Join G+' and then automatically redirects me to the page attached, but it doesnt refresh.
Am I doing something wrong?
EDIT: it worked now after pressing Ctrl+F5 several time. I think it was a problem of cache, although I have deleted all cache and cookies.
Anyway thank you Adam and Nibras. Will let it run overnight and see what happens

I'll let it run over night then and maybe there'll be a present for me in the morning!
Thanks again for the script, I figured someone would sort something automated in the end and am happy to have found it.

I have another concern, could it be that chances for US residents are better than non US? do you advise me to use a proxy, or it doesn't matter?

I don't have any facts to back this up, more of just some thoughts into how I might implement the invitation system:
Let's say you start the script before going to bed around midnight. The script runs for 2 hours, Google allows some people into the system, your browser stops refreshing because you have a sign-up form. Success, right? I don't think so. My guess is that Google is allowing a set number of people to sign up at defined intervals. Just because you see the form doesn't mean that you will be able to create an account, otherwise, we could just sniff the form post and duplicate it for every member that wants an account[1]. So, you wake up in the morning, seeing a sign-up form, frantically fill it out, only to discover that you were ~8 hours too slow and too many other people beat you to it.
My recommendation is that you only run the script when you are within arms-reach of your computer, as I'm not sure how much time you have between seeing the form and having it rejected.
Thinking more about what Nibras and I have discussed, since this is a beta, Google would want to control the amount of people in the system. Also, they would need to have many servers to handle all the traffic. It would be dumb to put all those servers in one location (US or UK), as the latency would kill the experience for anyone outside of that country. So, if Google has a bunch of servers spread across the globe, then they would probably want to try to encourage people around the world to sign up, instead of just having 99% of their testers from one country. This might explain why we are seeing invites being sent at odd times, and why people are being allowed to sign up at odd times.
Alternatively, they may be releasing ~1000 invites at a time, first come, first serve. And there's some dude staring at a bank of monitors, watching all the threads across the net (just like this one), giggling as we try to figure out what they're doing. And this dude, whenever he gets bored, he presses a button and lets a few more people into the system.
[1] If anyone is nerdy enough to sniff the traffic, I would be curious what it is submitting, just in case I'm wrong. In theory, we could create accounts for everyone, at least until Google patches the issue.
EDIT: Odds for US or non-US people? I don't really think it matters.

Google Music Manager

Anyone from Canada and cannot download the Google Music Manager for N7?

I have tried to follow the Tor re-routing, but every time I make the change, it gives me an error saying "tor no specified exit routers"
I would have to re-install the program. Everytime I open Tor Browser, and use IP Addres Locator it tels me the IP addres is in Iran, I haven't been lucky enough to have an IP addres from the US when I start up.
Did you have any instructions on how to use Tor in order to manage a US IP Address?

If you've got this far, you'll be fine now. The only time Google checks your location (as far as Music is concerned) is during sign-up and when you try and purchase music. For browsing and playing from your library online, and for playing your library on your device, there are no location checks.
I've been using Music on my Sensation for 6 months or so

In the UK here, used tor to spoof my IP, just keep refreshing and trying
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I'm in Canada as well.
Months ago, I used a simple Chrome extension called "Stealthy" to spoof my IP. Basically, a click or two and I was done. And, as someone else mentioned, after you've signed up there's no more ip checks so I have that extension disabled.
Of course, you won't get the "My Music" tab if you visit Play from your PC. But, no problems if you go to the music url directly.

Hi, my Google Music Manager has stopped working over the last few days, the program won't open or get past a screen that says it cannot get an internet connection. I wondered if any other UK users had the same issue ?. I've tried disabling anything on my setup that might be blocking it, and haven't changed anything before this happened. It's frustrating because I was loving using it on my Nexus 7. Any advice would be appreciated as I'm baffled. Thanks.

Same problem here my Google Music Manger wouldn't connect to internet...
Any Solution.......

I'm still stuck, I've been talking to an english technology journalist who says he is still uploading okay, have spent many late nights this week on this, but totally baffled. It can't be a widespread problem else the forums would be full of chatter about this.

I've gotten round this by installing Ubuntu alongside my Windows XP installation and installing the Linux version of Google Music Manager - and it works !. If you look in the log file for Windows Google Music Manager mine is moaning about Root Ca Certificates and being unable to find an iTunes folder (well it's wasting it's time looking for that one). At least my Nexus 7 is slowly filling with music now.

Same problem with me too. It just says to check internet connection. :|
Then I tried it in Ubuntu but no luck there too.

I have tried installing music manager on my old computer and it connects fine using the same network. Both using windows 7 64bit. Leads me to think its something with my current computer setup that is the problem. Hard to pinpoint though.

If you've got this far, you'll be fine now. The only time Google checks your location (as far as Music is concerned) is during sign-up and when you try and purchase music. For browsing and playing from your library online, and for playing your library on your device, there are no location checks.
I've been using Music on my Sensation for 6 months or so

You can't purchase music outside of the US. The steps required to use Play Music only give you the cloud service. You'll have to buy your music elsewhere for now.

You need a valid US address (hint: find one on a real estate site ). Then you must set this as your default address and billing address (with your normal credit card).. Then you can buy music. I've bought a few albums much cheaper than Aussie music sites. Oh, you also need to be on a US VPN to actually purchase music too.

Google have now fixed this. Just uninstall the program from your pc and redownload it from Google Music, the new version is working perfectly for me.
