what rom are you using?
are you blocking ads?
the error you get suggests that you are blocking ads so if you are blocking ads then turn off whatever ad blocking you use. modaco's rom from fr1 to fr11 blocked ads by default so if you are using one of those roms I would suggest you either update your rom or delete the hosts file found in /etc doing that should enable you to play the game.
note: you will need root explorer or something similar to delete the hosts file
The game came preloaded on my o2x and I installed the data files with wifi. After leaunching it, the videoplays then the game exits.
Has anyone got it working?

if you are blocking ads which the error message suggests then you should be able to fix it by deleting the "hosts" file located in /etc, and yes it is completely safe to remove.

as I said the "hosts" file not files is located in the /etc directory, to remove it you will have to use root explorer or something similar, of course this will only help if you actually are blocking ads, if not then there's probably something else making the game crash.
this IS gamelofts problem. I brought this from gameloft and had the same problem. So I contacted my credit crar company (barclay card) and stopped the payment (after contacting gameloft). Still haven't heard back from gameloft after 5 days. Other gameloft games are KNOWN to do this also. Just check out the gameloft forums, if you have enough time to wait for them to load.
can anyone please extract and upload the apk file
guys the game its ok now!so if you want it just send me pm and ill send you the new one!
Wassup guyz, ive juz installd d game n dwnloaded d 500mb file, d game exits aftr d intro, ive deleted d hosts file in /etc but stll d game exits aftr d intro video, any other suggestions??

Im a medical student and I really would love to be able to use the newly available Android Medscape app (free from the market) on my phone.
Unfortunately, it says in description of the app that it may have problems with "rooted" phones. Im assuming it means our HD2's running android on NAND as well, because after installing the App on my phone, I am unable to update/download the Clinical reference data required for the app to work offline.
It gives the error "Internet connectivity was interrupted..Please try again"
Any help from the developers or anyone else would be very greatly appreciated

Looking at the description and the error you gave, have you tried disabling any ad-blocking software? It may be something cooked into the ROM - if so, try asking the dev how to disable it. DLing now - i'll post back what I find.
.............................
EDIT:
Ok, having found this question asked on the thread for the ROM I use, you can remove medscape from the adblock 'hosts' list. (find it in \system\etc).

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention the ROM im using. Its Core Droid DHD 1.5, and it seems you may be right. It says in the description of the ROM that the "Adds are Blocked (Host files modified)". Is there any way to reverse this host file change?
Fixed it with the help of the developer of the Core Droid ROM. Just opened the app "Add free" and hit "revert". Restored the original host file. Medscape works now.
im having the same issue and clicking the "revert" bottom on AdFree did not fix it
I have uninstalled AdFree and have the same problem all the time. Anybody fixed this?
i had the same problem!
After i revert the hosts file in ad-free, medscape did not update the reference!
So what i did:
I did not unistall ad-free, but:
- i revert the host file 3 times in a row;
- i stopped the access of AD Free from SuperUser (root access);
- and i restart medscape (i killed the process with automatic task killer) and start it again;
- and voila, my htc g1 is updating the reference while i text.
(i don't know what are the steps that make medscape update, but i guess, is the revert host file and restart the app, to it starts didn't knowing that can't access that host to update)
I hope this help you!
Good luck
It works for me, reverted host files, stopped Adfree acces to Superuser and voila!! Medscape is updating again. Thanx
how to correct medscape installation please?thx\
SOLVED!
Just got an OTA update for my flyer and software got updated to version 2.27.1540.32
The android version is 2.2.4 while sense is 1.0
Just for the record, AdFree only works on ROOTED devices. i mentioned in another thread on xda that adfree does not work for me. with this OTA update, my Medscape is finally installing as i type this - - -
Just kill the AdFree app and immediately run Medscape app,it'll definitely take the update.I did the same and it worked
i try looking for file in \system\etc
in use editor to open file host.. thera are a lot of files,
and it make me confuse, where the file "medscape from the adblock 'hosts' list" is ???

Hi everyone!
Well, I've experienced the same "connectivity error" as everyone with a root cellphone, after reinstalling medscape app at my cell. I never had AdFree, and even though I'm able to found the hosts file and take a look of it with my pc it says absolutely nothing about medscape (only 127.0.0.1 localhost and emptyness after), so I guess I must be getting the wrong file or not accesing to it correctly?
I've tried everything you said, but is still not working.
I'm pretty new with android, and I would really aprecciate you help, given the fact that this is one of my favorities app!

Thanks Ivaneris
Iam on CM 7.2 LG p500.I had same probs and ur method really worked like a charm.I thought I almost lost it but thanks to you.BTW I renamed hosts file as explorer
Well, this patch is not my WORK, but i think, that everyone have a problem with it and because the autor from Russia called Duero shares it only on 4pda.ru and I think that for us it´s hard to find it and read Cyrillic, I decided to write a guide how to use it on our phones
1.
First, I am not really sure if it´s necessary but I recommend to download and instal this http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk6-jsp-136632.html
2.
Download this file http://www.mediafire.com/?0octk79867ugqn9
then open this downloaded file and find the "game".apk and double click on it. The program will automaticly patched your game and you just save the patched file whenever you want. Then copy the patched game to your phone and install it.
3. Create the folder called GL on your external SD and the game data from your main folder (sdcard/gameloft/games) copy to "external SD/Gl". Then you obviously can delete your original data on sdcard and everythink works !!
ENJOY IT
its not working for me..tried it with Shrek kart
you have to do somethink wrong, because for me it works great
Thanks dude, worked for me. Just patched files uninstalled old ones then reinstalled the patched ones. copied folders from /mnt/sdcard/gameloft/games to /mnt/sdcard/_externalsd/GL/ and they worked. saved 1.53 gig on my internal memory.
well when i try to patch a game the programm does nothing..not even a window to inform me where to save the patched game just a window to explore my pc to check which one apk i need to patch and then i hit open button and after that nothing...

Yep then after a little while (depending on the size of the game and the speed of the PC) it will open another explorer window, this time where to save the patched game to.
i am getting mad with that programm...i am trying to patch shrek cart and is patching another one for example fast and furious 5..what the hell is goin on???
i am choosing shrek cart and when a window appears with the message patch finished and the box appears to save the patched file and its saved with another game instead with what i choosed!is that happening for you too ??
A lot of users use this patch and noone have yours problems. Just download the program and open it. Then find your game file in this program and double click on it. Few seconds later it will say, that your file was patched sucesfully and you have to save it somewhere everythink is in my guide

well i managed finally to get it work except shrek cart because its saving with another game!.i get this error after applying the patch for the Asphalt 6,Fast five,Modern Combat 2 :""This is not original copy"" when i try the non patch mod of the apk it does not giving me the its not original copy error!weird...maybe i am not lucky or my netbook is for garbage...
it's fantastic.thank you very much.
finally it worked after many times...THANK YOU VERY MUCH
I'm glad that you finally mastered it and i could help !!
it's Revolutionary.very good job
do you copy the Whole Gameloft/games folder or just the Specific game data folder such as GLHS folder?
Confirm, after patching the APK. even if you do not have the game data at first.
Gameloft will still let you download the game data into your SD card GL folder automatically
GOOD JOB
i want to ask will this patch other game apk, not from gameloft to install game data in ext sd card??
Well, you can try it but this patch is exclusively for gameloft games so i think that it´s not gonna work

There is no interface it just asks for the file to patch, and when done it asks where to save the patched file.

Just use adfree and then uninstall it after it rewrites the host file.

120kb installed. Processing power? lol... what, the whole 5 seconds it takes the app to run and update the hosts file... protip: that hosts file is constantly updated, so to keep blocking things you have to regularly update it.

Clarification: the hosts file that AdFree will download and install for you is being updated constantly - not the one on your phone. You have to run AdFree to manually to actually get the latest copy whenever you want it.
Hi All,
For some reason my youtube app is missing from my nexus S and I can not download it from the market because it shows as already installed and it says it is incompatible with my provider.
I was wondering if someone can upload the apk file. You can find it by using any of the file managers (like ASTRO) and checking system/app/youtube.apk
Thank you.
hard reset worked for me, was looking for the akp for some days, nowere to be found.

Just went to app folder and the YouTube apk file is not there. I have CM7 installed. I did go and check to see if I had the app and I do. Let me check if it is another folder.
OK just went in with Root Explorer and did a search for YouTube file nothing comes back. Very strange. Let me know if anyone knows of a different to,der it can be in.

Here is the solution.
So I often watch TV show episodes on the websites for CBS, ABC, and NBC and just today for the first time I tried doing so while tethering to my phone using the Mobile AP. When I clicked on an episode, however, I received an error telling me, "This video is either unavailable or is being blocked by an ad blocker installed in your browser." The thing is, I definitely don't have an ad blocker installed in my browser; and, when I disconnected from my phone and instead connected directly to my ethernet, the video worked fine right away. I tried it for shows on NBC.com as well as ABC.com and received similar errors all pointing towards Ad Blocking software. Has anyone else ever experienced this or does anyone know the relation between tethering to Mobile AP and an Ad Blocker detection? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have two laptops and only one ethernet hookup, so I would like to be able to have good internet connected to both at once.
No one huh???

Ohhh wow I didn't even realize that ad-blocking came built into ROMs. I just quickly checked in /system/etc and did see the hosts file, opened it up and checked out the text. I tried renaming it but it was read-only, and root explorer wouldn't let me remount as r/w. I guess I'll look into it more tomorrow. But I would imagine I wouldn't want to just straight delete it right, as whatever ads it was blocking would no longer be blocked? I could just rename it any time I encountered errors while tethering to my laptop?
Does reverting through Adfree simply delete that hosts file?

if root explorer wouldnt let you mount you might have lost root somehow. re root.

I don't think I did. I just updated the su binary and when I reopened root explorer, superuser asked me if I wanted to allow root access to root explorer. I've read that before somewhere of people having trouble remounting within the /system folder. It let's me remount on folders outside /system, just not inside it. I still haven't figured it out. I suppose I could use terminal emulator right?

you were exactly right TR. i renamed the hosts file and re-tethered and i no longer received any errors about ad-blocking software. not to say the video is actually working too well tho - just keeps freezing. i guess streaming tv episodes while tethered to your phone isn't the best idea. anyway, thanks man!
