I have a Moto Droid X2 using GB 2.3.5 and Eclipse 2.2.1 ROM with Verizon Wireless in the USA. For the life of me I cannot figure this one out...
When I receive emails from EastBay.com or HomeRunMonkey.com they generally display correctly on my X2. However they also sends advertisement emails and both use a 3rd-party company, mybuys.com. Whenever I receive emails that are advertisements, the images are blocked. I checked Google and MyVerizon and nothing is showing as being blocked. So, if I try to click the link in the email that says if you cannot see the images, click here, my native browser opens but it errors out as if I have no active internet connection. I've even tried Opera Browser and the URL still fails. If I try to open the same email message on my PC using Gmail or on my HP TouchPad, the email displays correctly and the URL also works in all browsers. The best I can determine is Verizon Wireless is blocking this company. I'm guessing this because if I tether my TouchPad to my X2 using FoxFi then the same negative results occur - I cannot see the images in the email or browse to the URL in any browser.
Can someone with a Droid X2 on VZW please try the URLs below and let me know if it works?
http://w.p.mybuys.com/mfs/EASTBAY/201207022309/4662402/46624026764.html
http://w.p.mybuys.com/mfs/HOMERUNMONKEY/201207032150/4664783/46647836937.html
I have no idea what else I can try other than calling VZW but I'm apprehensive to do so in fear they tell me to go to a store and when I get there they see my Rooted and Eclipse ROM'd X2 and refuse to help me.
Any suggestions at all are most welcome.
Thanks!
P.S. I did make sure in Gmail the sender is always set to display images, also added their email address to my address book, made sure there were no filters, etc., but I seriously doubt Gmail is the issue.
So I just forwarded the email to my work account and on my work laptop everything displays correctly but if I view the same work email on my Droid X2, I still cannot see any images. I have to conclude either something on the phone itself is the issue or it is VZW blocking access to the site that supplies the external images.
That url doesn't work for me using eclipse and dolphin hd.

Thanks for checking and just to confirm, you too are on VZW? I'm in Southern NJ, what region are you?
I haven't had that particular problem but I do use my phone to make a hotspot and watch hulu and just the internet from my phone seems to be blocking the commercials cause it works fine on my home connection. I'll let you know if I find a setting to fix it but so far its not looking like something I did

Ok, sorry to be a PitA - they opened on your phone in the native browser? Yes, both sites are sporting goods and sporting apparel.

I'm trying to see if the Eclipse ROM in any was has bearing on this and want to rule it out if possible. Thanks.
UGH! My VZW Blocking theory is starting to crumble...
I just tested those links on a Droid X (I know it's not an X2) and the emails from my gmail account and the website links all worked perfectly. That Droid X is on VZW, same region as me, but is unrooted and on the stock ROM. I'm now wondering if Eclipse might be the issue. I guess I need to get Nitro involved for some help...

I would agree that eclipse is the problem. I was on stock cause I couldn't get the download for cm9 alpha 4 to work. I went to eclipse about an hour ago and tried those links again and they immediately go to failed load page. Before they did just open in my native browser

No problem homie
first time I ever heard any one complaining their adverts are blocked, lol.
So, you are upset because (you are assuming) the rom is blocking spam/advertsing?
If I could block every single ad I would, I cant get enough of ad-block.
Gl hope you get what you want working working though.
I know it sounds crazy and generally I agree with you but in this case they are legit ads that I read to keep up on deals for my son who plays baseball. It just so happens I discovered something in the ROM was preventing me from accessing the URLs.

what was it?
please post up what ya found!
I emailed nitro to look into it. But so far ive determined with help from others is Verizon is not blocking anything and a stock droud x or x2 CAN access the URLs but the Eclipse ROM for the X2 cannot. Whatever is the root cause I do not know so that is why I emailed nitro. I even determined that while my hp Touchpad CAN see the images in gmail and access the URLs from any browser the minute I Tether it to my X2 images in gmail wont load and the urls fail in any browser. The x2 fails whether 3g or wifi.

Would anyone be willing to pull this for me? Or even better, does someone have this sitting around? I prefer the original look to Swype and am currently using Vibrant5.

This kills me, everyone is Quick to Post, but not willing to do the work
Honestly though, if you can't use adb, you have no need for a Rooted Phone.. Just my thoughts here....

If I pull Swype from the Vibrant, would I be able to use it on the Nexus as well or would the size not work?
Reason I ask is because my Swype Beta account stopped letting me download since I keep flashing on my old N1 and since it ran out, I'm not able to put Swype on my GF's N1.
Lol like I said, I would have done it already but I don't have access to a computer right now. I'll do it this afternoon and post the .apk for you

I've been switching ROMs a lot, and I ran out of installs. Anything you can do?
Send an email to [email protected] explaining the situation and include the email address you used to register for the beta. We'll be able to reset your download count. In the future, if you're going to be making any more ROM changes, please use Titanium backup (or similar) for the Swype files. This will ensure that the license files remain intact.
I just got a replacement Android device and now I can't install Swype. Help!
Send us an email at [email protected] and we'll assist if we can. Please make sure to include the email address you used to register for the beta, your new phone's IMEI number (look inside the battery compartment) and, if you have it, your old phone's IMEI number.

So, it's just been announced that certain phones have Netflix app for Android (HTC Incredible, Nexus One, and EVO 4G with Android 2.2 installed. It’s also supported on the Nexus S and Nexus One with Android 2.3 installed.) while others will have it eventually.
Is it possible to get this apk and try it on our phones? Its a free app, so I don't see why passing it out on XDA would be against the rules.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150
(mods, if this is considered bad, idk why as its free and you still have to have an account, please just edit this link out)
Well, it installed and loaded perfectly.
I can also change my queue no issues, however, I cannot watch a movie. It gives an error about my device not being supported.
Maybe a hack job can fix?
If I understand right, we have to wait til sammy or verizon provides a DRM update to make the phone compatible. I don't believe you bypass it, though i am not a dev so I might be wrong.

Same on Fascinate. It would not work with the Nexus S setting at all. The HTC Setting gave me the same thing as Sophos1.
So....I installed the old leaked apk and was able to get past the login screen. It gave me the "device not supported' error only after I tried to load a show, but it never FCed. I am linking the file in case others have better luck than I.

I have done it with newest version of Skype from Market. You need to be on Gingerbread to use FFC though. I have successfully done it TB to TB, TB to DINC2, and TB to PC via Skype.
You both need go into the Skype app, from the main screen press menu then settings. Go all the way down and ensure the Enable Video Calls is checked.

I've done this and enabled video chat. However, when i actually try to videochat with someone (been trying with a PC), it reverts to voice only as soon as the call is connected.
Also, with google video chat, i installed the patch for rooted users to allow it to work, but all i get is a screen full of a big mess of color and stuff, plus a little box in the bottom with my video feed in it. really strange.
Running Synergy if that matters.

Honestly I have had this problem on LILROM also (also was playing around with Rebel) and they both do it. I triple checked this before posting so someone didnt think I was just being dumb and it was a password problem but I can login fine to Amazon using the same Email/password on my laptop and on Shostock/ICScrewed fine. It was my understanding that the Amazon market is limited to US users so far and not international which was why I was curious -- its really a deal breaker for me because I have a ton of paid apps that are shared across my phone and several Kindle Fires. Hopefully someone figures this out and thanks for taking the time to respond btw...

Please don't blame ROMs for issues with logging into cloud services unless a problem like this exists for more than a day or two.
Login problems are frequently problems on the service provider side - for example, the Market wigged out on me this morning, but 20 minutes later it was OK.
If you install lots of roms check amazons site under your apps and devices. You may have used up the allowed amount of devices, just delete some and try to login from your mobile again.

Got ya, thanks for the clarification.
Now, before anyone confuses this with AT&T Smart Wifi on the market, I'm not asking for that (that app is garbage in my opinion.)
Now, to the task at hand...
Stock Samsung ROMs have something called AT&T Hotspot Manager embedded into the Wifi settings, which allow the automatic sign in of AT&T hotspots around the country without opening a browser to sign into the network.
I'm using CM9 nightlies at the moment, and upon installing the hotspot manager is not packaged with the nightlies. Not an issue regarding CM9, but I was wondering is there a download package or zip that I can install via CWM or any other method to regain this automatic sign in capability? I'm at a Starbucks and Barnes and Noble a lot, and found this aspect of the phone to be very useful.
Appreciate the timely replies
I'm curious about this too, I've settled in to AOKP after jumping around on ICS roms for a month or so and I just realized I'm not getting my hotspots anymore
I'll sniff around and edit this if I find anything useful, I'm not sure what exactly the hotspot manager was and why we wouldn't be able to just enter the settings for the hotspot into a standard wifi connection
Edit: So el goog wasn't very helpful, all I was able to find was a few similar posts to this one with no remedy. I went to my Titanium Backup and searched through my backed up apps knowing that the manager had to be in there somewhere because I'd used some of the ROM's based off of the stock i777 and found something called "At&t Hot Spots." I restored it to my current ROM and I'll test it at Mickey D's at lunch.
Don't. It's a terrible app.
Looking over your shoulder...
Well restoring the app seems to have had no effect, it still requires me to log in to the wifi. I'm not sure why everyone says it was a terrible app, before I rooted my battery life was just fine with it running, even if I neglected to turn off wifi

First off, I do agree. But what this thread is concerning is that it's not an app. Rather, it was an embedded feature in the stock ROM of this phone, checked off in the wi-fi settings.
Since it's not an app, one cannot readily download it off the market. So it must be a package. From the results of this thread though, I guess a package like this doesn't exist..?
Here's the file: AT&T Hotspots 0.955
This is extracted from a UCKH1 stock ROM. Hopefully it works for you.

That makes about as much sense as having to type in your WEP password each time you log into your home network. Net battery life would be about equal to not having the app, as it takes screen on time (BIGGER battery suck) to go though all the steps necessary to login without this app.

I had the earlier version installed through my Titanium backups. I installed the one posted on this thread and I saw that the app was upgraded. (Additionally, the at&t hotspots icon vanished from the app drawer, I could see that it was running though).
However, it doesn't seem to connect automagically to attwifi. Any clues?
