So, I recently updated my ROM to ◄ Stock Plus ► v3.01 and while I'm not sure if this is what caused the problem I thought I'd mention it. Anyways, I've been trying to access "megaupload.com" and no matter how many times I try it just doesn't work. Any other website I try works, but not that one. I've tried restarting my phone, clearing everything in the android browser and toggling some of the settings the browser has (block pop-ups and the like). I'm at a dead end now and am just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem or knows how to fix it. Thanks!
Are you using any add blockers, or have you made any edits to the host file?
Also not that it should matter but have you tried changing your user agent string?

I'm not using any ad blockers, and I haven't made any changes to the host file. Could those have been changed by the creator of the ROM? I did try changing the user agent string but had no luck there.

They could have been but most devs leave that to the user. Does it happen on wifi and 3g? Could you have been baned by the site for something?

Just tried it on WiFi and it works fine, 3g still doesn't however. And I don't think megaupload ever bans people as far as I know.
I might try restoring to another ROM just to see if that's causing the problem.

Well if you can connect thru wifi i would say verizon, or who ever your thru is somehow blocking it, but i have no clue why they would. Actually i just tried on 3g and it wont work either. Verizon is blocking it for some reason.
Oh, well that's that I suppose. Thanks for your help anyways!
That kind of makes me mad. I pay all that money for data, and i cant go to websites verizon decides is using to much data: BS
I just tried it too. Verizon must not want anyone uploading huge files, especially if you're grandfathered in to the unlimited data plan.

There are a couple ways you might be able to get around this.
1. Install "Set DNS" (Free, android market)
2. Manually configure your DNS servers (requires terminal/CL knowledge, not sure if easily made permanent)
3. Set up a VPN. I have a personal server that I am running a VPN service on. This allows me to browse as if I'm on my personal LAN.
I'm running Stock+ v3.0 and Set DNS is working for me. I've just loaded megaupload.com over 3g by switching to google DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).

Using set dns does work for allowing megaupload on 3g.
Does anyone else have problems staying logged into htcdev? Every time I log in, the site says I've logged in but on redirecting me to another page, logs me out.
According to their FAQ,
"Our site requires a single IP authentication, and if you are behind a more complicated network that may alter your IP depending on loading, certain features may not work as intended. We suggest you connect to our site via a direction connection, such as via a home network. We are sorry about the inconvenience and thank you for your patience."
Thing is I am at home. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Since I can't really unlock my bootloader if I can't access htcdev...
I had troubles using Chrome browser. I actually had to use IE to get it to work properly. Have you tried using a different browser?

Yes, I've tried Chrome, Opera and IE, all have the same problem.
Hmmm. Perhaps a router issue. Have you tried bypassing your router and connecting directly to your modem with ethernet cable?
I did try accessing the site from my phone and got the same problem. Also my computer isn't near the router so I can't try that.
Did you use wifi when accessing the site using your phone? If so, try using 3G with your provider ...?

Am I really the only one with this problem? I emailed HTC but they just said they would forward my comment to their technical department... Where I imagine it will be lost in bureaucratic hell for a few months...
Having the same issue. Keep saying I am not login in when I click the
"Unlock Bootloader" button but in fact I already login. I also emailed the
support but tell me to try some other time.
I take it no one has a solution?

Yes, I'm having the same problem too - Chrome, Firefox, IE on Singtel broadband.
What isp are the people on who it isn't working for?

Maybe you should make sure that your browser's cookie settings are correct. Also, if you are using a proxy, chances are, that cookies are not processed properly. Also, if your IP address constantly changes, it may cause problems logging in as well.
I'm having the same problem. I've tried Chrome, IE, Safari, Dolphin HD, etc. Nothing has worked. Its quite frustrating.
nope im havin the same prob. got hboot 1.58 so idk. get a message sayin " indicates hboot update required"

I had the same exact problem when trying to login to HTC dev. It would kick me out every time i would login. I found out that the date on my computer was wrong so i changed it and boom, it worked! Make sure that your date and time is accurate and see if it works. Hope this helps
I have been trying this on multiple computers, multiple browsers, with correct time settings I might add...and to no avail. Maybe this is there way of telling us to piss off and not mod our phones...might possibly be the last HTC I buy honestly. Great phone, but I have no way to make it better after it has hit the 1 year mark and my warranty is up.
The strange thing is when I try to see the forum at home - I get huge lags and the forum looks as if they do not connect the CSS styles. In Chrome, Mozilla, Opera is the same.
Switching on the XDA2010 theme doesn't help.
Can be a problem in the Internet provider? How can I fix this?
Might be a problem with our CDN provider. What do you get when you visit this url? http://debug-14.netdna-cdn.com/
Can't open it on home comp.

Sounds like it might be a problem with your computer, firewall/router, or ISP. I can open that page fine. It says "You are hitting the NetDNA New York Datacenter"

I get the same thing at work and phone. At home I'm not getting anything. And earlier (about a couple of weeks ago) forum worked fine.
So strange. I would understand if the forum is not open at all. But it opens, but very slowly and very crooked looks.
Something must have changed within your browser, router, or firewall settings. Since the rest of us are having no problems it has to be something in your computer. Flush your DNS, reboot your router, and check your firewall settings. Also try different browsers and see if you get the same results. You can also try OpenDNS, which will solve the problem if it lies with your ISP.
We've just changed CDN providers last night. OP, let us know if you still have this issue.

It's OK now! Big thanks!!!
The previous issue was being caused by some ISP Dns servers. Often these kinds of issues can be alleviated by switching your DNS to something better

I have gotten good results from Google's DNS servers. 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. We even point to them from my work instead of the ISP's DNS servers.
Level3's DNS servers are ok too, 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.1.
I have had problems installing various ROMs on my Verizon GNex for a while now and it just occured to me that my phone might be somewhat uniques because it has a static ip from verizon. I was on with tech support today and when they took off the static ip and switched it to dhcp, it got the ip and worked fine, but when they put it back on static ip, the phone would not get an ip. They told me to go get another sim card, but the phone works fine if I restore it to locked, unrooted stock.
Basically, after I unlock & root stock and then install a ROM, my 4g data would not work. In settings, IP address is 'unavailable' where before the ROM, my static IP was there.
Anyone else have a static ip with verizon and have any issues or have any ideas why this might be an issue?
Old post about this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935957
My question is, why do you have static IP? For remote connections and such?
Static IP has to be manually set in the phone and changing ROMs is like changing operating systems on a PC, you'll lose network settings in doing so. I think....

This is a work phone and our firewall is set to only allow a specific range of IPs in on port 25 for email. If I could manually set it I would, but I don't see where, I'm pretty sure it's pushed out from Verizon. Right now I have it working on Eclipse, but for whatever reason it just wont work on any others (JBSourcery, PA Android, Xenon, etc.), it's got to be something small/subtle that people just aren't thinking of. And since this isn't a widespread problem, having a static ip from Verizon is the only thing that makes my situation any different.
I just don't know enough about how the phone communicates to verizon to get the connection and static IP. Maybe certain APNs, RIL, etc. I tried making a backup of the /system/etc/apns-conf.xml file while the data was working. Then I installed a new ROM and overwrote it's apns-conf.xml and rebooted, but that didn't fix it.
I read somewhere that there is a bug that would make your Mac address change every time you flash a ROM, though that would affect Wi-Fi only but maybe other things too?

do you know how verizon is assigning the static IP? is it by ESN/MEID, MAC address or what?

I called and they said it is by the ESN/MEID, the MAC can be anything, VZW doesn't care.

the only thing i can think of is the sim isnt properly getting authd to the network and therefore not giving you an IP

Yeah, but what would various ROMs be doing that could effect that. It works again when I restore a working backup of stock or Eclipse, same sim, so it's got to be software right?
This is a really weird and frustrating issue.
I'm trying to search this forum, but it seems to be down right now.
I am just wondering what exactly the VPN client app on our phone could be used for. I have a general idea of what it is, and possibly some uses for it, but the uses I'm thinking of make me suprised that it comes stock on our phone.
Anyways, when I try to check the "about" on the app, it wants me to set up a password..... I'd just like to know more about it before I get all into creating passwords etc. Is anyone using this?
Thanks
I was able to get into the "about" section of the app, and then Google the version and dev of the app. So I have a better understanding of it. But just curious, is anyone using it?

You use it to establish a secure connection to a server. Your data is encrypted between you and the server to keep it private and hide where you're going as well, since all traffic is through the VPN.
The client is useless to without server to connect it to. Always a very good idea to use a vpn if you're on a public open wifi hotspot.

I was looking into some servers last night. In your opinion, is the only difference between "Free" and monthly fee servers with the size limit? Or is it also a security preference. Honestly, the reason I became aware of this was because of threads talking about TPB.
Is there a reason you don't use the app that came on the phone?
