this is for network connection
maybe low speed or something
cause that is the facebook app error and nothing about Android System.
:good:

Same problem here, even on 4g network, that is 10 times faster than my wifi at home, wich play facebook videos just fine. Will not play facebookvideos on mobile network, regardless of speed.

Might have a solution, it worked for me anyway. I logged into my account on my mobile carriers homepage, and manually sent the settings for mms and internet to my phone, and after that, there was no problem playing facebook videos via mobile network. It seems that the phones built in settings configurator, doesn't download the correct settings. I saw some differences between the manually downloaded settings, and the autodownload that the phone fetches.

Hi
I have the same problem can you help me man?thankyou please leave a messges to my gmail acc. [email protected]

You could try using a different browser which supports flash ( e.g. Puffin or Firefox ), you can also try requesting the Desktop Version of that site although this may cause it to load a little slower than usual.

aol mail and youtube messaging on phone

i can load up both theses websites and sign in, but i cant view the messaging part of either. Do they run on java script or what? anybody able to do this?
AOL is working fine for me, using Internet Explorer. What browser are you using?
Try going to: http://wap.aol.com for the mobile version.
im using internet explorer but im using the regular aol.com version. can i do the same for youtube? like wap.youtube.com?
it's m.youtube.com for the mobile version. playing videos will be your next problem. Search this site for you tube. There's nothing I care to see on my phone, so I haven't tried it.

JF 1.5 Browser Problem ! please help

Guys, I have a bit of a strange problem.. i am using JF1.5 but my browser is not working... by that i mean it opens without a problem and shows the homepage ( www.google.com ) in a second but when i open anyother address it just says " web page not available- check your internet connection " but the strange thing is that when i open a link there is no network activity as if the browser aint even trying to connect to the network ....
Now i have installed opera mini and thats working just fine .... i.e opens every page quickly .... but opera is very hard and i dont like it at all .... and i want to use the built in browser...
Any Idea whats the problem ?
Thanks
the google home page you see is probably a cached version, it didn't actually download that page from the internet.
from your description, it seems to be a network state problem. the android system has its own way for detecting internet connections, it may report you're offline even if you're not. but the only two apps I know that uses this is browser and downloader. you have to check if your apn settings are complete. make sure you have the "proxy" field set.
I tried to mess with the apn settings but to no use .... Its really freaky ... every other browser works just fine .... and so does the market and google talk but the built in browser behaves as if there is no data connection .... is there a way i can uninstall it and reinstall it from somewhere somehow ?
Regards
I'm having the same exact problem. I upgraded my G1 and it worked fine but when I upgraded my girlfriends G1, the default browser doesn't work.
I will open up the browser and the page will show and then it just closes out and goes back to the desktop. I've tried to flash it again and there is no change.
Ok.
So I went into the application manager and cleared out everything and it still doesn't work.
Not sure what could be causing this because my phone flashed fine.

Listening to Pandora Radio From Outside USA

Just thought there were some people that wanted to know.
This requires a rooted phone!
Firstly download the Pandora radio apk from a filesharing service or use market-enabler to get access to the American android market and download it from there.
Next, download Orbot from the market. Install it and don't forget to give it root permissions.
Before you press the on button in orbot, go to the app settings and select pandora to run through orbot.
Also check the "transparent proxying" box.
Next, start orbit by pressing the power button on the app to start the service.
Now open Pandora and it should work.
If not, try restarting orbit (kill the task too if it can't start again). Also if it prompts that it isn't available in your country AFTER it has launched, just press the back button and it should work.
For more information/troubleshooting check out the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=760472&page=2
I did all the steps you told. When I hit the start button, it turns green n says "Connected to Tor network" but I'm unable to use Pandora. Keeps getting stuck on the initial blue opening screen.
When I check using the check option in the Tor's menu, it gives me "Sorry. You are not using Tor." on my browser. I have set my browser to use Tor (I even tried "Tor Everything" option an rebooting my phone).
p.s. I'm using it over a wi-fi. I hope that isn't an issue.
Update: I checked the ip address it shows is the same as the ip address of my laptop, connected to the same wi-fi.. basically means problem lies with Tor than Pandora..
Appreciate any feedback..
Just wanted to add that Tor is working through the mobile network but on wifi it is giving the above mentioned problem..

I read through it a lot. Couldn't get it to work.
I don't find Proxy settings for WiFi in my system as indicated below.
phone's settings > Wireless & networks > Proxy Setting > set IP to 127.0.0.1 and Port 8118.
May be this option is required to get it to work. Can you enter proxy settings for your WIFI as indicated above.
As when I use the same proxy for mobile data then Orbot works. But I don't wanna use Pandora over my mobile data packet.
Update:
Okay I installed gaeProxy and I can get connected to Tor network now (checked with my browser) but still not able to open Pandora. Maybe I'm not in US proxy with Tor.
I really love Pandora!! But here in Brazil i can't listen anymore... :crying:
Try using Hola Accelerator & Unblocker from the Play Store. You can turn off the acceleration feature. Works fine for me.

[Q] Browser not working on 3G, but FB/Market/Other work

I recently installed MIUI v 1.9.30, and despite my previous experiences with MIUI I really like this one, despite one thing.
I've found that while on 3G (Bell Mobility Canada), I can download from the Market and browse Facebook, but I cannot use the browser (Charming Browser). When attempting to load Google, for example, the loading bar will progress about 10% and then stop there.....
Funny thing is, when using Dolphin Browser the same thing occurs, and it gives a webpage cannot be displayed error. I've tried looking in both browser settings but I can't figure it out, because they work fine on WIFI.
Has anyone experienced anything like this?
Clear cookies and other browsing history and then retry bud

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it didn't help =/
I went as fat as trying a factory reset and the problem still occurred. I posted asking for help on the miui website but haven't gotten any response yet.

it worked one time for me when i had location service and find my phone on. I think they both need to be on for this to work,,,cos I usually keep both of them off...only when needed. So try that...may be it shall work..and if you are on a slow data connection like I am..switch to wifi and then try !
Yeah it worked!
but I don't see any use of this....even a free app I just download the xap and deploy it
