Tekguru web site access - General Topics

I have not been able to access the Tekguru web site this week www.tekguru.co.uk Has anyone else had the same problem?

Yes... exactly the same.

here too ... :roll:

Yes same here too. I checked from a couple of other networks to make sure it was not just me too.

Working for me

i can get in today and last night but have had a few problems getting in in the last few days

seems that they do have some issues. site is down again.

TG has been slow all night, but from around 7pm I haven't been able to connect at all. I wonder if the site is under attack again?

seems so. they need an alternate provider or at least they should use this or other forum for notifications.

Where is fring?

Anyone know. I thought it was the ROM I was using, but I went to www.fring.com and there's nothing there!!
Where has it gone?
Not sure I understand your question, but I'm using Fring almost everyday and up till now no problem. I went to their website also still there, no issue downloading either.
12:00 ok, it seems to be ok
17:15 nope it's gone again!, now can't see the website. can't sign up again
17:41 ok, it's back again!
17:55 and now it's gone again
I don't notice anything... Maybe problems with their servers?
Anyway, I use Slick now, Fring is annoying as hell IMHO.

Same problem here.... Any fix for it?
i read in several places a few days ago that this is due to some changes they did in their API. it will also be like this for sometime.
yeah, Twitter changed the way apps react with their service, and unfortunately, HTC Peep no longer works. Which sucks. The prob happened the exact same day i finally got my HTC Fuze
~Des
Same is Happening for me, i was wondering why i wasn't getting any updates
HTC SAYS the problem's resolved on their Twitter feed, but I'm still getting UN/PASS errors.
the upside
Look on the bright side: now you can say "twitter doesn't work on my phone, sorry" instead of "twitter is so superficial as to break the entire purpose of human communication and therefore I won't use it, you twit." Your hipster friends will be bummed, but now you don't have to pretend you care to read their inane midday thoughts!
i had noticed that TWITTER WORKS TODAY!!!! WHOOO HOOO I CAN GET MY NEWS FEEDZ ^_^ SOOO HAPPYYY!!!.......ahem.....sorry...

[Q] Market Issues - No Connection on 7.0 Plus

Hello all,
Just bought a the 7.0 Plus tonight and am already having some issues. Out of the box, I was having problems with it dropping wifi connection. I was in range and it showed signal, but the only way to get internet connection with it was to cycle the wifi on to off. Its probably happened 4 to 5 times already in my first night.
Anyways, I used it until the battery was near dead and then plugged in to charge. Now the market place will not load. I get an error saying "No Connection". Cycled it off then back on, nothing. Deleted my google account thinking maybe re-sinc the account and I'll get it back. Now, I can't even get the google account back on it. It only says an error something along the lines of failed to establish a connection. Facebook app, nothing. Picasa web albums, nothing. More or less all the apps that need a connection, nothing. The only exception to this is I can go all over the internet all I want. I am getting a "Security Warning" saying "There are problems with the security certificate for this site". I get this on more or less every site I visit.
I am fairly baffled. Rooted Evo's, GSII's, ect. This is my first tablet though. Only thing search turned up was off a Thrive tablet someone did a full factory reset and got it all back. I'm thinking that might work for me, but its not even a day old and for the price these 7.0 Plus' cost it shouldn't be doing this. Should I be looking to exchange it for another? Maybe I just got a bad one. I'm close to just swapping for an Acer A100. I wanted the 7.0 Plus for the newer hardware because I tend to keep them for a while, but dang this is not working well. Oh, its fairly laggy too. I mean, my original 2 year old Evo on CM7 with a Tiamat kernal isn't this laggy. Its actually smooth, lol.
Sorry for the book I just wrote too. Just fairly upset at this point and looking for help.
Download samsung kies on a pc and update the tab
I tried that, but it didn't help. I forgot to mention I have Kies installed an updated everything when I first started it up.
I returned it. Not willing to deal with features that don't work as well as they should, wifi dropping, and issues out of the box. I'll probably just pick up an A100, but who knows. I also just got a Galaxy Nexus so that'll keep me busy for a bit.
Hello,
I realize this thread is almost a year old, but has anyone else had this connectivity issue with their Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus? I have the Wifi Only tablet (GT-P6210) and this is the second time for me to have an issue similar to what Bill3753 posted above. The first time this occurred I did a factory reset and the problem was resolved. I really don't want to do that again and mess with having to reload all my documents and downloading all of my apps again.
So, after almost a year does anyone know a fix for this issue? Or can someone share a link to the right info?
Thanks in advance!

Ok my problem is fixed now! The problem was with my Google account. I removed it from the tablet and then tried to add the account again. I kept getting an error that said "can not establish reliable connection" and after doing a search for the 50th time I came across a post that said make sure date and time are correct. I changed my date and time, then tried to log in and it worked that time! Now my Play store is connected fine and the browser doesn't constantly give a certificate warning message.
Hope this saves someone else a headache.

Will not download anything on mobile data

I have had the Galaxy S 3 for almost 2 weeks now, and I noticed it will not download anything over my mobile data. Wifi works like a charm, but at work, I need credentials to use the wifi, so I just dont bother with it. I was going to install an app off of the play store and it would not go. It said downloading and the bar was constantly moving, but no numbers telling how far done. It sat like that for 10 mins and nothing happened. This has happened before to me when trying to download pics off of the internet. Live browsing works fine though. Facebook app works great, google chrome browser works unless you try to download.
I am unsure if this is a setting thing, or verizon blocking downloading off of mobile data or what? The app was under 2Mb so it wasn't a big one at all. I have my mobile data on (4G), power saving off, airplane and driving mode off, and sync on. For sync on my main account I only have gmail and internet set to sync though... I dont want all the other BS syncing its just annoying.
If someone could shed some light on this topic because I am so confused as to what is going on.
Is this a re-occuring problem or was it the one time in the play store/picture download? I know sometimes when you download or update from the play store, it gets stuck. You just have to cancel it and restart it. As for the picture download, it may have just been the hosting website.

If I remember this is not the first time. I believe I was in a hurry trying to download an app and it wouldn't go so i just quit it and gave up. I have tried a couple different apps and tried one about 5 times after resetting the phone and trying different settings and nothing I could do would get it to work.
I have nearly the same issue, except, speeds are just exceptionally slow. I get tons of "network not available" type errors. 22+ hours on the phone with Verizon tech support, 4 SIM cards and 6 total hours on the phone with Samsung and all they can tell me is it's "either the network or the phone!?" They told me my phone was DOA and swapped it out. My new phone suffers the same problems, slightly worse. Verizon won't admit the phone could have a flaw directly to me but others on this website say their reps have told them the issue is well known and they are looking into it. The issues seems to be; Long latency, dropping signal with no indication, slow network speeds over 3g/4g as compared to other devices on the same network, at the same time (not always the case though..), long periods when text messages come in, dropped calls, etc.
VZW is supposedly checking into my local network now. I'm supposed to be updated on their status, but I know what they're going to say.. "Network's fine!"
The only thing left is the device. Others, including yourself seem to be having similar issues. There's alot of talk about "Samsungs radios suck" or "You should have known buying a samsung that it's radio could maybe not work that great.." I dunno.
Seems to me a radio should be kinda a priority in a mobile device. My apologies for not being born with the innate knowledge of samsungs less than stellar radios.
Some are hopeful for an update. That update apparently never came to the Nexus. I don't think it's reasonable to expect it here either.
I flashed the Synergy Rom and it seems to have helped immensely. It's not as reliable or consistent as the ole X2 over the same network but then again, it is a Samsung, I guess.

Well thanks for bringing that to my attention and letting me know I am not the only one with this issue. I just wasn't sure if it was known as a problem or a setting I had turned off or something stupid like that. Because I know there are ways to disable mobile data so it doesn't suck it all away.
Doesn't seem like a radio issue in my case, as everything works fine, its just when downloading from mobile it doesn't work. Regular browsing is fine and so is internet use in apps, its just the downloads. Wasn't sure if it was a verizon policy to lockout downloads, as this is my first smartphone, or if it was a phone issue itself.
I am not going to use ROMs on my phone, or anything like that. Ill just put up with it until there is a possible fix. Its not too big of a deal, it just helps when you need something and theres no wifi around.

You take it better than I do, that's for sure.

Wifi error and ICS question

Hello,
I have never rooted my Atrix 2 and it is pretty much stock. I have researched the interwebs for the past two months from time to time to see if anyone else (and there are a lot) who have "Wifi error" when trying to turn on their wifi. It is not a router issue because I have tried at my own home, friends, relatives, McDonalds, the library, etc but Wifi error persists. Reset the phone three times, taken battery out, and leaving it off for a few hours have also been tried. I was wondering if anyone knows how to solve this issue? I have researched on this forum but I couldn't find a relavant one.
I was hoping that upgrading to ICS will fix the issue but I cant even upgrade to ICS because the update has been fixed to be downloaded via wifi only. I know it is OTA but was wondering if anyone has packaged/is it packageable to be downloaded off the internet?
