Google Sync (ActiveSync) Outage? - UPDATED- Confirmed 2010.06.18

Hi Friends,
Anyone is experiencing a instability in Direct Push / Active Sync services from Google?
Everything was working fine until day before yesterday.
What I've tried?
- Delete account, and set up again.
- Disable and Enable Direct Push in ComManager.
Other services work perfectly. Internet, MMS, etc.
Note: Isn't IMAP Service, but ActiveSync protocol (aka DirectPush)
Google could add the "blessed" Google Sync on the Dashboard.
More sources and information about this outage:

It seems that Google IGNORES the malfunctioning of the service.
Errors like:

Trying not to be too defensive here, but I've made multiple posts to this thread and other threads acknowledging that we're actively working on improving Google Sync. I have also made proactive posts for the true outages that we've had.
I'm sorry to hear that many of you are still having problems, and we're investigating. We pushed a new release out yesterday that should help with some of the issues we've been seeing (I'll try and post more details on that release later today).
I am working with our Enterprise team to make sure we have appropriate communication with our Google Apps users. Premier users are welcome to use the other communication channels they have available if you need individual attention. Our status dashboard - to date - has meant to cover the desktop versions of our products, but we're working on clarifying where Google Sync fits in and hope to have it listed on the official SLA agreement soon as well (you'll note that it's not currently listed there now).
I appreciate everyone's patience as we continue to troubleshoot!

hi,
i agree i have not been able to give much love to this baby of mine. however there are large number of changes that are happening now.
including change in google app store policy which might make all the tools listed in this app as non conforming and lead to there removal i am trying to find a way out for the scenario.
As of now i am trying to setup a aptoide repository and see if i can get permission from all the tool owners to upload a version there.

Am interested

Where can I download it? Please give a link

Soo more specificly, what does this app do?

[SECURITY] potential malware on dev-host servers

Yesterday I spent some time after downloading an empty theme template .zip off dev-host going over the dev-host connections and the malware that lurks right next to the button you need to push to download something.
I tested this on multiple networks and different operating systems and essentially it was a module watcher that caught it. Then I did a run down through PFSense firewall seeing what it was trying to do. This is not localized to one server as far as I can tell since I tested on several different server ip addresses and all did the same thing. So I guess this is a notice to the community and to dev-host who I imagine doesn't know several of there servers have been attacked with malware resulting in a phishing attack url attacged to a local button.
I could show you all the nitty-gritty firewall details and how the phising attack works but yeah thats to much time I'll just show you what button NOT to push on dev-host:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Clicking the orange download button results in an instant phishing attack. For those of you who dont know what a phising attack is let me explain:
Essentially it's a way of tricking you into thinking your browser is going somewhere its not. Which can result in many things ie: theft of data/malware/viruses/network attacks/trojan droppers and many many other nasty's most people really hate. I have tested where it goes and its completely random and its not this specific zip or this specific page its just the first one I tested it on. So one or more of the dev-hosts servers are infected. PFSense has blocked the crap out of it every time along with module watchers and even some very low lvl malware software may block it. Figured I'd share this information.
Oh and Id also like to say I use every adblocker and adblocker+ and several other ad blocking extensions and the button you need to click is right below it. So its definitely something to keep an eye out for. I'm usually very careful about what button I click. So I usually never even run into these situations but yeah. Figured I'd share to the community and to Dev-host

Adblocking runs good for any Browser used on Android, but we are facing problems when it comes to block ads in apps.
This is caused by ads that just bypass the HTTP(s) proxy to download the ads from Google AdMob and other Google ad services.
There are apps (and this is as it's oughta be) that respect the proxy settings and the ad filtering is done right.
And there are apps that just ignore the proxy settings to fetch the ads from various hosts.
Without a VPN, a real global proxy (root) or messing with iptables on a rooted phone or the hosts file itself (using another app) those ads can not be blocked.

Nice app , will try it

I will give this application a try, thank you for throwing this information out here on the world wide web!

Hey.
Ingo Zenz got some new stuff!
Check out personalDNSfilter. Works even better than personalHTTPproxy - no root, VPN, blocks ads in apps and browsers ... system-wide!
http://zenz-solutions.de/personaldnsfilter/

How can I add new hosts in personal dns filter?
I tried to go to hosts-file.net but I don't understand what I have to do and what I have to download.

Chrome: download manager mess up and help disabling link disambiguation popups

Hello.
About the “download manager mess up” take a look here (grossness warning!): Can't STOP a built-in manager download in an acceptable way… :-/ (v56, v57-Beta) @ Google forums
Briefing for documenting purposes: built-in download manager intercepts certain download links' files, I guess because of file extension (apk files not captured, for example). However, built-in download manager is deprived from file download cancelling ability. Had to delete all of the application data to stop the mess.

In essence, a dodgy issue. Not overly critical in most situations, of course, but certainly dodgy. Better do not tap/click on overkill sized files, or you'll regret it.
With regards to the link disambiguation popups, this is something I've wished to get a solution for some time already, to no avail. So let me explain:
There are sites on which no popups are seen. Example: this very forum. You can tap where you want or need without popups. If something's a little cramped, just a little bit of zoom is all you may ever need. I use “force enable zoom” and you should also if not, as you may guess.
There are certain sites, though, where this is stuff gets in the way. Notorious example: eBay desktop mode (I've included the desktop site redirection to make your life easier in case you are using the @#$% mobile user agent).
It is obvious that there's something in these damned sites' coding which forces Chrome to go into “link disambiguation popup” disgusting mode. So, if any of you may know some sort of way to prevent the browser going disgusting mode, God would be grateful. Maybe some sort of mod and/or app? Any feedback/contribution welcome.
Mostly wrote this because I've recently revisited the Firefox browser, and I've been on the verge of switching to it. Too bad Firefox has 0 bookmark management capabilities.
Have a good time fellows.
Cheers
