Just yesterday I updated to 3.2 and flashed Tiamat 2.1 ROM and Tachi Kernel also. I am not able to access certain sites such as fb, xda, xoomforums ets. But youtube loads fine. This problem was present in 3.1 also. But it solved by itself. What is the issue?
Thanks in advance.
Honeycomb 3.2
Tiamat XOOM ROM 2.1 Hammerhead
Tiamat XOOM 2.1.0 "TACHI"
Connected over ad hoc wifi using Joikuspot on nokia 5800
Please correct me if I am wrong
Upon reading your request and reading about 2.1 Hammerhead and TACHI (url's are where I read) I am to believe that you have the 3g Model of the Motorola Xoom, and not the Wi-Fi only one.
Before you flashed the ROMs, when you were on STOCK, you were able to access the Web Pages and had this trouble before but it fixed itself.
Here is my list of questions to help us, help you!
Are you using the Browser that came with the tablet (Not Opera/Firefox/Dolphin/Etc)
~If no, then which broswer are you using?
~If yes, Have you tried to clear the browser history/cach/cookies?
~~I ask this because when I have lock up for downloads it is because of too much information being stored in one place...
When you use your Youtube function, are you going to WWW.Youtube.com, M.Youtbe.com, or the APK? Same with the other websites that you use too please
Are you in a 3g zone and have you not gone over your allotted package that you pay for through your carrier?
I hope we can help you fix this as soon as possible!

I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=945 to update to 3.2. It says wifi only. Also since I connect to an ad hoc network which the stock HC doesn't support, I'm unable to check if my wifi is broken unless I go my friends home which has a wifi router.
That aside.
-I am using the stock browser. I tried Dolphin but the same problem persists.
-Tried clearing cache, cookies, history and even application data. Even force close, factory reset, reboot Nothing works.
-I navigate to www.youtube.com from the browser itself.
--> Normal apps can use the internet normally.
-I share the 3g from my phone and my plan hasn't run out
--> I tried uninstalling and installing Joikuspot, restarting the phone etc. Issue is not with the phone. Else why woud only a few pages load on my xoom but on my laptop it works fine.
PS- When this problem happened earlier I was on 3.1 with the team tiamats rom and kernel. The whole reason why I upgraded was hoping this problem would go away.

Hypothesis: XDA and other sites use advertising banners which might block loading while their content is loading: sometimes their servers are slow.
(I have this issue occasionally on my Xoom, but not on the same sites with my desktop/netbook because of adblock plus.)

Ok, you are using stock browser, which means that it is trying to load up pages as a ANDROID PHONE/TABLET which makes pages read funkly because they are not coded for mobile. (Examples of mobile pages are but not limited to - M.Google.com M.Facbeook.com www.53.mobi and so on...) I asked if you used Dolphin because it has a setting in the browser that allows you to change the Reader to emulate a desktop computer, a IPod Touch, an IPad, and so on. (Opera Browser Also allows you to do this.) I am actually talking to you on my Dolphin Browser at this current moment on the Desktop Setting!
There is a way to test to see if this is the problem with pages not being able to load in the Android version of the code reader on the Stock Browser (as Dolphin and Opera are just a slight copy and epic change of it.) Here is the list of steps --
Open Stock Browser
type in to Address Bar, without quotes -- "about:debug"
Go to Settings for the browser though the menu key (the drop down at the top right of the tablet)
Go To Debug On Settings (at the very bottom usually)
Go to UAString (Towards the Bottom) and when you open it, you will see Android, Desktop, Iphone, (or something close to this)
Select Desktop and back up to the main part of the browser (This will save the settings)
From there, go to www.facebook.com and if it does not change your url to m.facebook.com, you have sucessfully changed your browser to emulate a Desktop Browser *Please note, that if you are not wanting to do this, Please use the settings in Opera Browser or PDolphin, where they openly state this process in roughly 4 clicks in the settings!*
Please let us know if this helps and if it does, WALA keep the settings (or do what I do, get Dolphin/Opera/Firefox and make them the Desktop Broswers and then use the regular browserfor pages that I know are mobile!)
GOOD LUCK!
Does anyone have an apk for a previous version of Cisco AnyConnect for Rooted Devices? I had it installed on my TF and it worked great with my company's VPN. However, on September 8th they released an updated version and I foolishly updated to the current 2.4.7073 version. Now whenever I start it it says "Completing setup. Please wait..." then throws an error "A problem occured while completing setup." I tried reinstalling it several times with the same outcome. If someone has a previous apk I would really aprpeciate it.
Thanks

I had this same issue. Try reinstalling busybox, this fixed my issue.

Thanks for the reply. I am running Prime ROM and after I downloaded Busybox installer from the market (and ran the installer to install it) it is now telling me that Cisco could not obtain appropriate permissions - like my TF is not rooted, but it is. I guess I screwed it up.
Gorby try loading add-openvpn-without-tun (need to flash through clockwork mod. It can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125996
Should install all the lib files and symlinks needed to get anyconnect to work.
Thanks all. I re-installed new Prime ROM, installed Cisco (got the same error), then using Root Explorer I copied Cisco libraries into system/lib folder as recommended in Prime ROM thread and it is working great. I like the new enhancements that Cisco did too, the status icon is now gone when you close VPN.

Thanks for the info - I've been trying to get AnyConnect running since I got my Transformer but kept getting the same error you were getting.
When you say to copy the Cisco libraries into system/lib, where can I get the "Cisco libraries" in the first place (not running Prime - running Revolver 2.5).
Thanks!

Hi, the libraries are actually installed when you install the new Anyconnect from the market but you need to copy them to system/lib folder. The details are in this post.
Also, you need tun.ko module installed as part of kernel in order for Anyconnect to work. One of the reasons I picked Prime ROM is because it has it built in already so I didn't have to worry about installing it myself. I donno if Revolver has it, you should check. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. I actually figured out where to copy them from and I got AnyConnect up and running, but when I connected, the VPN said 'No license" and disconnects me. I guess AnyConnect isn't going to be my solution either...
All that I want to do is use my Android device to connect to my works Ciscso IPSec (pre-shared keys) VPN! Every other device in the world supports this VPN - why not Android devices??? I just don't get it....

Sorry, can't help you there. I remember reading somewhere that "No license" error is related to something on the server side... but I could be wrong. Anyconnect works fine for my work's VPN now though, but I agree that Android users should not be jumping through all these hoops to get VPN working. Google really dropped the ball on this one in terms of competing with others. I got HP Touchpad on "fire sale" and configured VPN in 1 minute right out of the box - works great. Same with video calls on Skype... which is still not working on Android Tegra 2 tablets. Granted, this one is not Google's fault but frustrating.

Yeah, somehow, I don't think my company is going to spring for additional licenses, just so I can VPN in with my Transformer!
What about the VPN Connections app? Has anyone successfully connected to a Cisco IPSec (pre-shared keys) VPN using the VPN Connections app? I was able to get so far (it said "Connected"), but I coulnd't access any of my companies network devices, so I don't think it's working properly...
Anyone have any experience with the VPN Connections app for Android?
Thanks again - this is one of my last hangups with Android at this point, but it's a huge limiting factor!!!

In case anybody was in the same situation as I was in (Cisco IPSec VPN - Pre-shared key), I FINALLY got it working on my Transformer!! And it was as easy as installing a free app from the Market....
The App is called "vpnc Widget" - you will need a kernel that has the tun module built in, etc, but it just works! I'm using it on Revolver 2.5 currently (stock kernel). You simply install the app and then create a new widget (NOT an app shortcut) - an actual "vpnc Widget" widget.
When you want to connect to the VPN, click the widget - it connects and logs you in. When you are done, click the widget again to disconnect from the VPN.
I can't believe it was that simple the whole time... I was struggling with AnyConnect, the "vpnc" app and was getting nowhere fast. "vpnc widget" worked in minutes.
And it's free!

I found this thread after Googling "cisco android anyconnect a problem occurred while completing setup" because my AnyConnect stopped working on my Transformer Prime after doing the latest OTA update, even though I'd used Voodoo OTA RootKeeper. Then I ran Titanium Backup, which threw an error because although the restored su binary had the correct UID (0, root), it had the wrong GID (2000, shell). After setting the GID to 0 and rebooting, AnyConnect worked fine.
WARNING: Some features require a rooted device.
SEE THE FAQ IN POST 2 (BELOW) IF YOU HAVE ISSUES
DESCRIPTION:
Download web files much faster by using wifi and mobile data at the same time!
Share or open a link from any program, like the web browser, and download it at speeds up to two times faster than usual.
This is the only tool that can download using wifi and mobile data connection simultaneously*!
*In 2014, two years later, Samsung released the Galaxy S5 phone which incorporates a similar feature called "Download Booster".
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Using both networks together requires root access.
- Since this program uses mobile data connection, by using it you may incur in additional charges from your network operator.
- To unleash its full potential, this program needs good (and balanced) wifi and mobile reception/bandwidth.
- Using both connections is not supported on all devices / rom combinations.
- Some web servers may provide insufficient functionalities on the requested files.
- Currently only http and https protocols are supported (no ftp or torrent yet)
- The Lite version has a filesize limit of 50 megabytes.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR XDA DEVELOPERS:
This program is free for xda users if downloaded from this thread, but is a paid application on play store. If you want to support the development, buy it from the market and get automatic updates.
USAGE:
Just click on a link or open a remote file: if the file type is recognised by Super Download, it will start getting it.
If this method doesn't work, try click-and-hold on the link, select "share with" and choose Super Download.
Finally, you can copy and paste a url in the "add url" dialog.
There is a thread on Super Download and a youtube video here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...xy-s5s-download-booster-t2829885/post54435368
PLANNED FEATURES:
- Multiple files together / download queue
- Other ways of speeding up downloads
MARKET LINKS:
- Full version: Super Download Full
- Lite version: Super Download Lite
***** FAQ *****
1 - Q: It doesn't work!
A: Please provide more information and possibly a logcat (main buffer, debug level).
2 - Q: The application doesn't trigger! Is my browser supported?
A: Did you try both methods (read USAGE on post 1)? Some browser do not support the first method (mostrly third party browsers), some do not support the second (only ICS stock browser doesn't, AFAIK). If both methods do not work for you, please post your browser and rom names and versions in this thread, thanks!
3 - Q: It fails and now I can't download the file without unistalling your app! Now what?
A: From SuperDownload, click on the download and select "send to default downloader": the android download app will start to download your file (not available on froyo). Or, some browsers support long-tap on a link and then "download". You can also install an additional download with different features, so android will ask you which one to use at download time.
4 - Q: When using both networks, mobile data stream gets interrupted often!
A: Unfortunately, when using both network, the system enforces periodic disconnects on the mobile interface. There is no way to avoid them, but the app tries to mitigate its effect as much as possible.
5 - Q: How can I download from RapidShare (HotFile, etc.) with this application?
A: Sites like rapidshare do not support multi threaded clients. They don't want you to have more than one active download at a time. So it would defeat the purpose of this application.
It is possible that, with some tweaks specific to the site, and maybe the need of a premium account, it would work. That would need a lot of time to develop, though :-\
6 - Q: Sometimes I see "Dual networks" changing form "enabled" to "suspended", why?
A: From version 0.4, Super Download tries to avoid using both networks together when one of the two is failing too often; this is to avoid slowing down the transfer when in bad mobile reception, for example. If you feel it is suspended too often or when it shouldn't, please report on this thread.
7 - Q: Does it work for downloading [put your favorite big file here]?
A: It should work as long as it's a valid http or https url (no torrent (yet), for example) and the web server doesn't limit multiple connections.
8 - Q: Does it work on a tethered connection?
A: I didn't try myself, but I got some reports that it works. The tethered connection works as if it were wifi, and you can add your mobile speed to it!
9 - Q: Why doesn't it work for downloading from the market/play store?
Q: Why don't you just replace the default android downloader?
A: The default downloader is not a "normal" application, it's a core part of the android system and libraries. Even if it was possible to take its place, it would be a compatibility nightmare, with all the os versions and different carrier/manufacturer customizations that are available.
10 - Q: Why can't you do the same system wide, for all the applications?
A: That would need to modify android internals and probably every application that needs it. Currently Super Download merges the packages from the two connections at the application level and there is no simple way (that I know of) to do it differently.
11 - Q: On my Samsung with original firmware and touchwiz I can't see the download history, even though I'm on later than froyo!
A: That's because samsung has taken their froyo downloader and put it on gb, ics and later, without updating the downloader api. You know, it's easier to make a customized program work on a new version of android rather than re-applying the changes to a newer version of the downloader...
12 - Q: Can you alter the app and allow it to do tethering also? I want to create a wifi network which combines two 3g networks and doubles the speed for the user.
A: I'm sorry but Super Download can't do this. The problem is not just enabling the interfaces (you can get some clues on how to do this on this thread, without the need for SD altogether), but combining the packets from the two channels. As far as I know, this can easily be done only at the application level; what this means is that you would need to modify the programs you are using on the client in order to make it work. An exception would be the use of proxies: most networked applications already support this, so theoretically it's possible. But currently a bit off topic for this project, unless it can grow to a much bigger application than it is now. It is in my todo list for the future, nonetheless
13 - Q: Did you copy/reverse engineer Samsung Download Booster?
A: NO. It's the other way around. My app was out a lot earlier. Super Download is, infact, the first application of its kind.
14 - Q: How's your app different than Download Booster?
A: Samsung's one is integrated into the rom, so it has a more low-level access to the protocol. This enables it to work on, for example, play store downloads, which Super Download can't. Still, none of the two can work on all the network traffic: they are both limited to the HTTP protocol and supported applications.
Does it work for you guys?
Is it actually faster than wifi only?
Please let me know
testing now, but I don't understand with the dual mode feature, can you explain exactly that feature used for ?

Dual mode uses both networks (wifi and mobile), maybe the label is not clear. I could change it to "use both networks" or something, what do you think?

So it looks like this is a replacement for the "Downloads" app that is already on the phone. It handles the download well, though I can't see much of a difference downloading as the server I am downloading from is the limiting factor, not my wifi. Here are some observations:
We should test this on starbucks or other limited wifi
The app did not ask for root privileges
It does not seem to route all traffic through the dual mode, only some file downloads. Am I missing something there?
All in all though, it is a cool experiment, I look forward to do some more testing with it.
I really don't think this makes a difference.

Thanks for your testing.
There are many factors affecting performance.
One is what you already said that often the bottleneck is the server itself, not the local network.
Add to this the fact that, when dual mode is disabled, the thread which should download using mobile is routed thru wifi, and you may get the file faster by using wifi only.
Moreover, android automatically puts the mobile connection down after some time when wifi is in use, leading to timeouts and needs to wait for reconnection.
All this can be mitigated, fixed etc. Just let me tweak it further and please continue reporting! More feedback, more fixes
Here is the new version:
0.2
- aggressive threading option added, should greatly improve speed on some servers
- network and layout tweaks
- timing display
- fixed FC when no wifi and both networks enabled
I'm getting terrific performance improvements with aggressive threading and some "lazy" servers!
So please have a look at this new version and let me know

Does the application show up when, for example, you click on a link to, say, a zip file?
Do you have a T-Mobile US device that redirects you to T-Mo's site whenever you try to wireless or USB tether your computer? Here are two work arounds to stop that:
Difficulty: Easy. ROM: Any. Description: Spoof computer web browser to say 'Android' when loading web pages.
1) Install an EU ROM. Any ROM based on T-Mobile US has a script that will block tethering if Android is not recommended.
2) (SUGGESTED) (Avoiding the script) No root needed. No APN switching (because that sh!t does not work). You need to spoof your computer's web browser to an Android device. Go on your add-ons/extensions installing page (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, maybe more) and search for a user account spoofer / switcher. I am on Chrome and I use 'Chrome UA Spoofer'. Select the Android Motorola Xoom device to spoof to. Tether via wireless or USB and it works constantly. The only downside is that some pages load in mobile view. You can easily select to show full web page. I used this for multiple hours, multiple PCs, multiple different times and never was redirected to T-Mo asking me to add tethering to my plan.
Why does this happen? Ever since Android 4.0, they added a script in the OS which does this. You cannot uninstall it because it is located very deep in the system (maybe you can, but no one has figured it out.) If you have a EU ROM (no wifi calling), then you will be fine to tether with no problems and no spoofing. Please click thanks if I helped
The APN thing does work; I use it daily for my Fire, and my laptop on occasion. Not to mention the FCC just smacked Verizon for $1.25M for blocking customers from tethering with third party apps, so T-Mobile should follow soon to avoid a similar fine.

T-Mobile should be stopped for that. But I have to say the the APN did not work for me. It worked for about 20 minutes, then I was never able to connect again.

Actually they don't have to allow tethering, nor will they be fined. This was a rule specific to LTE implementations. Since T-Mo is on HSPA+, those rules in no way apply to them.
Also, to the OP -- this works, but you need to keep in mind that it only would apply to web browsing. Tethering is detected via packet identification. The combination of the TTL (time to live) and the device (Android vs computer, etc) gives tethering away. If you were to use bittorrent on your computer, the packets would be identified as computer, and with a computer TTL.
Dang, that sucks. I thought it had to do with data limits, since they aren't required to allow it for their unlimited customers.

It's been figured out over on the Sensation forum. It's a tether apn set to be hidden in the apn.xml found inside the framework.apk, if I recall correctly. Steve from the Elegancia Rom should be able to help.

How did you get FoxFi to work? I tried it and said it won't work on this device. And when I use bluetooth, the tethered device can't do certain things outside of the browser.

Then you are using the wrong rom,I was using Elegancia rom and it worked for me. You can't just root the stock rom and expect it to work, there is a separate hidden tether apn built into the framework.apk I believe.

Hi all,
This question has probably been asked; the problem is not a lack of solutions but there simply being too many - I've no idea where to begin with troubleshooting. Everything I've seen is just to general to be of any use.
Basically...
I installed CM11 (nightly build for my Motorola Moto G, AKA falcon). I've stripped down some of the GAPPS using the 'Barebones' guide on the CM wiki, e.g. removing the Google+ program I don't use, and the stock broswer (replacing with Lightning from the F-Droid repo). I've also installed various other programs to enable me to have absolute control over the device - AdAway, AFWall+ probably being the only two of interest.
I have no internet access either through data or via the house wifi; I have confirmation the problem is confined to my device since no one else in the house has problems, and my laptop and desktop work without trouble (incidently, the router has recently been changed also, so I now have the problem confirmed on two access points). It's not a reception issue either - the device connects fine to the router (albeit with fairly weak reception because of my distance away), in the 'Settings' dialogue I can see it 'Obtains IP address' etc without any obvious error message/hangs/stalling (and in settings displays itself as 'Connected').
Aside from being directed to a fix, I'd really appreciate it if someone could give me some kind of 'here's how you troubleshoot Android internet access' tutorial; I've got a bit of experience with desktop Linux, and more still with Windoze (albeit unwillingly) - I'm quite comfortable fiddling with the network manager or trying different kernel modules out. On Android, I've just no idea.
So far I have tried:
- Reinstalling the ROM (on both installs, the problem occurs after a few days to ~ a week of normal functioning).
- Uninstalling the AFWall+ (I think it's a DroidWall fork - acts as a frontend for iptables) on the last install, and on this one fiddling with the settings (unticking and re-ticking all boxes to allow on roaming/mobile data/wifi connections
- Uninstalling AdAway (on the last install only)
- Issuing 'ping' in the terminal. It's now just returning an "Error: Unknown host" message, yesterday when I was having trouble with the router, it was returning to do with insufficient privileges (even after I'd ran su to login as root).
-Turning the device on and off (in desperation only).
- I can also confirm the internet access affects not just Lightning (i.e. my browser) but is system wide - Skype, BBC iPlayer, weather updates in cLock etc.
As is probably obvious, I feel I've done little more than bash the screen with a rock and hoped for the best (metaphorically speaking).
I'm wondering if maybe there's something wrong with my hosts file - or else the way packets are sent/received, since Adaway will have altered that, and AFWall+ also. Maybe some bug whereby rules applied by AFWall+ are misinterpreted by iptables to block all access? Any help investigating this avenue in particular would be really helpful.
Also, just in case it wasn't clear, I've got full functionality of everything else, no crashes, able to make/receive calls and SMSes fine etc.
Cheers,
AA.

AFAIK the dev has had no problems, and the two different installs I've had have been different builds.
Also I've no idea where to start to find a new ROM; Linux has the fantastic DistroWatch, but no such resource exists for ROMs (AFAIK).
Finally...I'm quite fussy . CM is just the right balance of features - if you want 'em - and stock, vanilla (or even barebones) if you don't. I had a HOX+ in the past, and so many of the ROMs for that were all about eyecandy and glitter - fat I'd rather trim.

When I installed the ROM, yep. My method is to wipe everything then sideload (IMO it seems cleaner ).
Otherwise, no, and don't see why it would make a difference, and would have no idea how to do it anyway...through the recovery, or is there a way to do it when booted?
No offence, but I get the feeling this is the blind leading the blind xD.

I dont know, try to flash different rom and see if it will happen again or not. If not, problem is in that rom you already have.
