[Q] Can't open shortened links? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Sorry I post my question here, but my post count is too low to post to development threads.
My problem: I can't open any shortened links (from any twitter client) in any browser. Is there some setting or something that prevents short link opening? Every browser says "web page not available". With normal urls browsers work fine...
My setup now: HyperdroidJBX 2.5 with clean install (Megawipe before flashing). After install I restored apps from Titanium backup. I had this same problem once before and that time I got it to work with re-install.
I tried clearing app-cache and re-installing apps. No help.
With search I found few similar threads, but not any solutions.

Do you have AdFree installed? If so, please open it and click on revert, that might help?

[Q] Can someone tell me the correct way to use Titanium Backup?(

I tried on my own and after running it on new rom I get a "Parse error" type of message.
First I nandroid backup/swipe.
Then install the new rom(SPrint lovers 3.7)
Then I went right to the marketplace and downloaded TB again.
It tells me to go to settings/applications and check the install "Unknown apps install" button. so I do that.
Then I open TB again and go to batch, then I selected the restore all apps options and it gives me a error.
I read somewhere it says you have to install them one by one?
I read somewhere something about you have to mount a few programs or something?
I know I was able to do then in batch but try one by one it might work.

I see, well can you list the steps you would take to RESTORE the saved apps because I don't know if I did it the correct way or just forgot to install a side app.
well i figured it out from the link posted above,thanks. so i'll give it one more try.
I would recommend on buying the full version. Make sure you tap on PROBLEMS and then download BusyBox. Afterwards you can hit MENU-BATCH and BACKUP USER APPS. I'd recommend not messing with any of the other options. If you flash different ROM's a lot it's better to just backup the apps ONLY.
If you were to do for example BACKUP USER APPS and SYSTEM DATA that could potentially bring a whole bunch of errors on your new ROM's and tons of Force Closes.
What I prefer to do is to manually download all my apps between ROM swaps and then using Titanium Backup to restore the data. An example of what I'm talking about is if you have a game that you regularly play, you'd want to restore your data so you don't have to go through the game again. Hope that's simple enough to understand.
You said when you try to download it from the market it says check install unknown applications? Its not suppose to do that... You must have downloaded it and tried installing through a app like astro. If so download another version and try.

Unable to install or update apps via market

As of today i have not been able to download any apps from the market.
when i click on the "accept and download" button an error message pops up saying, "******" could not be downloaded due to an error. (-101).
I noticed that the apps look as though they are downloading but with a blue bar continuosly scrolling on the My apps screen.
I have tried clearing cache and data from "Download manager" but this has not helped.
Any advice please?

i guess you are rooted and running AOSP ROM
try clear the cache from CWM and fix permissions through ROM manager. if it wont work reflash the GAPS mate.

Interesting... I'm stock on 4.0.2 and just started receiving this about 48 hours ago too, I'm not rooted either.
Exact message: "Application Name" could not be downloaded due to an error [-101]
I did a bunch of searches and haven't found many solid responses or anything that's helped, some people said "it's a quota error" but that doesn't make sense since I haven't downloaded many apps in the last few days, others said to clear data/cache and that hasn't helped either. Also tried on both 4G and WiFi and that doesn't matter.
I've done reboots, etc. as well and nothing - even swapped batteries so "batter pull" will not be helpful either.
FYI - This is my 4th Android device and I've never seen this before.
Thanks for anyone that has any input!

Yes, did nothing.
I found this thread too:
http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/17505/how-can-i-fix-error-101-in-the-market
Just like this guy, my phone also isn't showing up in the online Market, it's showing my old ones but not my current (and it was there last time I checked about a week ago).

****, this appears to be happening to A LOT of GNexus users right now, if you check the first page in the Google search for this:
https://www.google.com/#hl=en&sclie....,cf.osb&fp=6f96d00fb0093b18&biw=1440&bih=802
Almost all threads point back to GNex users. Not cool...
---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------
Fixed it!!!
Here is what I did:
1. Settings
2. Personal: Accounts and Sync
3. Selected my Google account
4. Once within my Google account, clicking on the context menu/settings menu I selected "Remove Account"
5. Once the account was removed it prompted and asked for a new account, I entered the credentials for the same account and then rebooted
6. Once it rebooted I went to the Market, accepted the EULA and downloaded Google Gesture (I wanted to try a free app first) without any issues!
FYI - the account I deleted was fine, there were no issues in how it showed up but deleted it anyway.
I hope this helps people out! Good luck!

1.1 Firmware mirror for NST

So I just picked up a nook simple touch and am eager to root it, I've done plenty with Android on phones, never an ebook though. I've been reading the material here and had a couple questions.
1.) It looks like 1.1 firmware is needed for most of the roots here, however B&N only lists 1.2 currently. Does anyone have a mirror to 1.1 or tell me how to get that, currently I'm on 1.0.1
2.) If I can't get 1.1 are there any roots that will work for 1.2? I've been following the thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346748 and it looks like it only works from 1.1 by the sound of it.
3.) Is everyone or anyone using the NoRefreshToggle? If so what do you think? Is it worth trying it out? Dangers of using it? When you toggle it off do you get greyscale back? From the sounds of the post, it's pure black and white with it on which is fine if when I disable it, it goes back to normal greyscale images.
4.) Did anyone find out how to turn off page animations in the kindle app? not a big deal, just wondering.
Thanks a lot, look forward to trying this out.
Here's a copy of nook_1_1_update.zip I pulled down from B&N a few weeks ago: http://www.mediafire.com/?h5kn1214gfjhkcg In the end I didn't need it, so I can't confirm how the upgrade works (the instructions said just put the file within the zip on an SD card and reboot)

Thanks for the link
Thanks for the 1.1 post link, however I updated to 1.1.2 and followed the instructions and everything seems to be ok, I can get email, install from the market place, only thing I can't do is search the market. A search just lists a blank page and doesn't find any apps, any ideas.
As for the Kindle question, after installing kindle app and seeing the performance, this isn't a big deal at all.
Still curious on the refresh toggle however, any ideas on that, have you guys tried it out? I may post there if I don't hear back.
Thanks

I have checked and as you said market search functionality is absent, it seems to be broken since the Googleplay thing.
As a way to regain it, in the mean time we get an updated market working, install Searchmarket.
The NorefreshToggle is still in early stages, but works quite well for webpages, etc.
Try it, there are no risks on it, on any program when you enable the app it will work, and when you go into a menu it will return to normal grayscale.

How do I install Searchmarket if I can't search the market for it lol ... Do I have to install it on my phone first, then transfer the apk over to the NST, then file browse and install it from /system/app ?
I tried NoRefreshToggle, it's interesting, like you said a work in progress ... Tried it with GReader unfortunatly it shuts off between Feed view and Article view which is a pain, but I think that's probably to avoid ghosting.
As for web page viewing, Opera Mini FCs on me everytime I open it, as does the stock browser, so I haven't been able to try browsing as of yet Still looking for a solution to that one.
Thanks for all the info, really enjoying the NST if NoRefreshToggle keeps getting better this could really be a killer device

I just use the Google Play website to initiate installs to the nook (it appears in my device list as "phone")
The included Opera Mini installation never worked for me (no FC nothing). In the end I fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling.

Didn't even know you could send apps like that to your devices, never had a need to try it before. Worked like a charm ... Opera is working now as well, thanks for the tips Really enjoying Android on the NST
So are you saying you are on 1.1.2 rooted and enjoying it?
Should I downgrade to 1.1.1 and root or just go ahead with 1.1.2?
I can't wait to try this out.

I can't speak to the upgrade patch from 1.1.1, I bought my NST yesterday, it had 1.0.1 on it, I upgraded to 1.1.2 then followed the rooting instructions for 1.1.0 or was it 1.1.1 can't remember, in any case, after rooting everything seems to be working just fine
RubenRybnik said:

It was 1.1.0, there was no 1.1.1
Is there any risk upgrading to 1.1.2 from 1.1.0? Would I have to reinstall google apps &c? Did anything change in between 1.1.0 and 1.1.2? (I have heard that they may have fixed the WiFi issues that were plaguing me a few months ago.)

Yeah, this very thing happened to me too. I did everything that you tried too. I almost posted on here for help as well. I opened up my download folder and just deleted the file. Then eventually the download bar disappeared.
Glad you posted this to help others that will eventually come across this!

[Q] App icons and Home screen downloads.

Hi All, I'm a newbie to my device and busy getting to know it and in general find it very easy.
However i have done something, as when i now download apps from playstore they are not appearing in the app page with an icon although they are downloaded. Also when i download the app it states that a shortcut has been created to my homepage (which is not full) but is not there.
The same is happening when i want to make shortcuts to my homepage for web pages.
Can any one help wit a fix.

I would just make sure youve synced everything with google and then do a factory reset through the settings menu pal.

Checked all my google settings and they all seem okay, don't want to be as drastic as a reset as i can still find them by going to files. But will still keep trying to resolve it.
