Have any Nexus S owners had any luck getting installations from the new Android Market Website to work ?
I can install to my ZTE Blade (rooted with custom ROM) without problem but whenever I try installing to my Nexus S (rooted with stock 2.3.2) I get the message "This app will be downloaded to your device shortly." but nothing happens on the phone.
I've tried signing in and out of GTalk without any success so I'm wondering how other users have got on.
I've not tried it yet TBH, sorry.
Works fine for me anyway. Download starts a few minutes after adding it. sync on? Checked market settings?
Mine works fine as well, it's almost instantaneous for me to install stuff via the market website.

GMail sync is off as I don't use the Gmail client but it's the same on the ZTE Blade that works.
As for the settings, which market settings should I be looking at ?
On the Phone App the only option is Notification which is set to "Notify Me" (the same as on the ZTE Blade), while on the Market Website the Nexus S is there and set to "Shown in Menus". Is there something else I need to set ?

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. If you have any questions just ask

Hi followed your instructions to the letter but doesn't work. I get the message that pandora is not available in my country even with orbot running. I then close orbot and relaunch it but it freezes and can't connect anymore.
Works like a charm, thank you!
if it dosent work, try reinstalling orbot
Doesn't work for me Tried reinstalling Orbot.
Galaxy S Froyo, UK Orange.

I'm using Pandora 1.4 on a rooted stock Samsung Vibrant ROM.
In Orbot Settings,
Select Transparent Proxying.
Click on Select Apps (wait a long time for all the apps to show up). Select Pandora.
Start Pandora. Wait a while. I had Pandora setup in the US. So I don't know what happens if you are installing Pandora fresh. But for me, it started playing.
COOL..WORKS FOR ME.. SEA region
thanks for sharing...
Nope doesn't work for me either on Desire with Froyo DeLite 1.1

Aaaah, thanks for the great tip of rebooting. Works perfectly on my Desire now
Not working on my Motorola Milestone. Already tried rebooting and reinstalling Orbot.
g/adp1 germany - doesn't work, even after reboot and sending all data through tor
Same for Samsung Galaxy S. Even after reboot and reinstall..
Works great on N1 in Aus. Cheers
Just curious any idea how how much avg data this uses on either high/low quality?
Not working, N1 in SA.
Thanx anyway
works like a charm.. orbot needed a few tries to connect though so keep trying
Does not work for Galaxy S. Tested pandora 1.4.1.

Another possibility is that the Tor node you're ending with isn't located in the US. Tor is a global network, so you could be ending with a node in Germany or somewhere where it isn't supported.
I'm not familiar with orbot, but you should be able to use something like "new identity" to switch to another node. Eventually, you should get one in the US.
I see this mentioned in various posts...but can we get a single thread started where we address this issue if it hasn't been addressed already. I need this working for me bad! I noticed some have gone back to Gingerbread...which I will more than likely do but I dislike Gingerbread! I'd rather stay with ICS only if I can get MS Exchange working. It prompts me to invoke security settings but takes me to storage settings???? I have seen where someone even went threw this but it still did not work. I still get the constant bubble at the top of my phone stating that MS Exchange is unable to sync because security settings haven't been enabled. With Gingerbread all you had to do was hit activate then put a pin in and wow your done....with ICS it does not do this...
I run ICS AOSP on my HD2 and it syncs with our Exchange server perfectly. What's the problem?

1. Wrong AREA to post
2. You're using a beta rom, so go back to GB
3. Use a different client in ICS
What do you recommend me using. Aren't they all BETA's?
I use stock email from ics and push mail working good with HTML support.
I have an HTC Sensation and I cannot get it to sync on a fresh flash. Using ICS Stock email
InsertCoin 4.1.1 Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3 – Full Rom
Works flawlessly with Exchange Sync to what I believe is version 2010
/olme
The issue is with the HTC Sense 3.5 email client. I heard the native ICS email client works.
I have used the built in client in this version of ICS as well as the Sense 3.5 client both with ICS and GB. I have no problems with syncing with a Exchange 2010 server.
On some setups I found the activation screen for the Exchange security flew by quickly after I gave the entry a name..It showed up in the notification tray so I was able to roll down the notification click on the entry and activate it. I suspect if you reboot before activating you might be toast.
If you still are having problems try Touchdown for Smartphones..I found it works very well..in some ways it has better features than the built in client. Worth the 20 bucks.

I should have said I am currently using Megadroid ICS 4.0.3 v 1.4.2
Storage encryption.
Hello,
Mine works. I had to tick the storage encryption.
Beware though.
Enabling encryption on the SD card will WIPE ALL the data on the card without any notice (as far as I remember).
Make a backup of your SD card prior to encrypting.
Should you go back to GB for any reason, you will have to un-encrypt the SD card and that will wipe the card too!
Cheers.

I had an issue with exchange, setup went well to the point to activate securety settings.
it just stopped there and would not activate.
i found out that due to extensive flashing i had used up the max numer of devices on exchange server. Luckely i have my on exchange server so i could reset the device amount.
When this was done the setup went like normal.
Exchange settings don't stick for long
Hi, I too use Exchange on ICS and have had no real issues except this one:
I change the default sync settings from 15mins/1hour to push/manual. Frequently this resets again to the default settings.
Anyone know why this is?
Can I tweak an ini file or is something else causing this?
Hope someone can help as it is becoming quite irritating.
This problem only happens with Hotmail/Live Mail. But you have a point, it's quite annoying. And you can't set it to HTML! This option is greyed out.

Hi, a suggestion for you!
And maybe op and others to try
I also had sync issues with ICS and Sense 3.5/6 and 4, they always reverted back to 15 min, 5kb etc.
But surprise surprise! Baadnewz's Sense 4 beta10 includes a fix for this!!!
I can set options like sync every hour, full message download and they stick!
Even upon reboot
Finally HTC became aware of the issue (and did something about it), maybe it solves issues for op as wel..

How can I use the stock email from ICS instead the one from Sense?

Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium
Exchange Server 2010 (14.01.0339.001)
ARHD 6.5.2 XE, kernel SebastianFM v1.30.2 - 1782 MHz
Default email client works perfectly fine. Push email works, limit set to 5kb by default, format HTML. Settings presist through a reboot. Contacts/mail/tasks/calendar are in sync, no problems.
6.5.2 was installed for the 1-st time. I had stock rom/kernel/radio. So you might want to try perform a super-wipe, flash ROM again and install the latest kernel. Also to help you pinpoint the issue, logs from the gateway and the device would help i guess. Exchange ActiveSync is quite weird sometimes, worce is only RPCoHTTP, heh.
EDIT: Also after preforming a clean install of the system, don't restore anything from backup. Test if it works in default configuration. I ran into a few problems after restoring settings from titanium backup.
I am getting this issue since morning. Market loads up with base screen, and then from there on messes up by saying "Error retrieving information from the server. [DF-PFA-02]" or something like that. Most common error is "Connection timed out." and shows a Retry button.
Its happening on WiFi too, not just data. I have full signal where I am!!!
Is this happening to anyone else too? Looks like some issue in market app servers.
Things I tried:
1. Clearing market cache
2. Uninstalling updates
3. Rebooting
Neg...just dl from GP and ran an update on a couple of apps both data & me WIFI....no issues sir.

It is updating/installing apps. That's no issue. But I am getting these connectivity issues like about 50% of the times.
Well.. That's what happens on betas... They aren't perfect.
Maybe try reflashing it..

Oh no! I flashed the Zeus Beta only today morning (I've been on Beta since its release and never once had any issue with market).
same problem
hi im having the same problem on sgs2 i9100.. stock rom/firmware, I think it's a market issue, not to do with your custom rom.
for those who don't get an error, try to install "slash'em"
Right. Looks like this issue got resolved.
Yup, seems to have resolved itself.
A quick resolution.
I have found a solution to this issue for GSM phones. The only reason I am posting on a year old thread is this is the first search result for this issue on Google. If this issue does not resolve itself as it did for these guys, do the following:
1. Power Down the phone.
2. Remove the SIM.
3. Power the phone back On.
4. Go to the App or Applications menu and select the All tab to view all installed applications.
5. Find the Google Play services and Google Play Store, clear all data for both of these applications.
6. Start the Play Store and log-in.
7. Power Down the phone and replace the SIM card.
Upon restarting the phone, the Play Store should now work without issue.
How do you log in to the playstore without your sim? Did you connect to wifi?

Do you happen to be using two factor account authentication?
Tried clearing the app, reloading it, deactivating and re activating the phone\account via google voices web settings.
I am using two factor authentication as per a month ago. but if i recall correctly my google voice was still working with that enabled on my moto x before i got the nexus 5. I could be mistaken though. Anyone?
Mine originally was acting kind of funny upon first install - I uninstalled and re-installed it was fine.

If you're using a prepaid plan, I wonder if this is what you're running into:
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/voice/bPJ0u3fJiFo
Look about half-way down the page, it seems that some have needed to have T-Mobile disable their own voicemail in order to get GVoice to work. Maybe this is the answer, maybe not, but I saw it and thought it might help. If you got your Nexus through T-Mobile/postpaid, may not be the answer.
I seem to of found the problem. I was testing calls from my work phone, and they were all getting directed into the Spam folder. You cannot view the spam folder on the android app, however once i moved the calls\voicemails from the spam folder via the web interface, they all came flooding into my phone.

Actually yes, you can view the spam folder on the android app.
Gvoice>Click "Inbox" drop down on top of screen>Click 'Show all label'>Click "Spam"
I was noticed odd issues with Google Voice also. When I make a test call to my phone from my wife's phone and it actually calls me twice. Maybe someone else can help me confirm.. Call your phone from another phone and just let it keep ringing. See if it calls twice. Almost seems like its calling both primary and Google Voice #'s

Let's brainstorm! So my theory is definitely that Google turned that feature off server side. This is why factory resets change nothing. When Google services reads our phone it detects its a galaxy s6 and deactivate the service. Is there a way to trick Google services into thinking it's a note 4?
Thread moved to proper forum.
Round 1 goes to google! Changed the build prop to the vz note 4. Did nothing. Downgraded google. Nadda.
May I ask what you mean? OK Google works flawlessly on my phone.

Same here. Some settings were removed a few weeks ago, but I can OK Google from the homescreen, with apex at least, haven't tried the stock launcher but I assume it would function the same if not better.
