Having a few images missing here and there but not such a big deal... until today.
I noticed the computer was overheating and checked the task manager to find this:
12-15% CPU time and over a Gig used memory on several tabs (already closed in this image).
So I wandered what could be causing this, so I had a quick look under the hood to find this:
It seems the domain of the logo http://forum-lw-1.xda-cdn.com/images/2015/xda-logo_newcolors.svg is down or blocked.
Code:
net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED
and both Chrome and Firefox keep trying to load it forever.
So taking that in account I used Hola to proxy my way around the problem and sure enough it worked!
I flushed my dns settings just to be sure that the problem wasn't on my side:
Code:
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /registerdns
netsh winsock reset
Now I don't know if there is more issues with the pages I didn't debug the page since using a proxy resolved the problem for me but I urge the admins to look at this problem bot client and server side.
PS:I'm in Portugal

I've checked DNS, seems like all is working ok now: http://dns.squish.net/traverses/0b468a92af80738117500774a3a72e76
I don't know if this was just a temporary error on your end or what, can you check to see if this is still a problem?

Sorry for the late reply,
It seems that all is solved now, yes.
The only errors that I get now are these and they seem irrelevant.
It's weird because I saw the same problem a month or two before I made the post but now everything seems fixed.
Anyways thanks for looking into it.

[APP]Train Timetables tool - for Sydney (Australia) users

Hi all...
I've been developing bits and pieces of stuff on my phone for my own use and I thought I'd share this with you. Unfortunately it's only useful for people who live in Sydney as it relies on 131500.com.au (locals will know what I'm talking about). Although that service has its own "Mobile" version webpage, I find it very inefficient to type in addresses and not have it remember my last selection - especially since I'm usually already in a hurry if I ever find myself needing to check the timetables.
It's a tiny (but multi-threaded for uber-fast interface) program (30kbs) that remembers your last To/From train stations and will directly fetch the timetable for trains in the next hour in a WebBrowser control. And a single-button (reverse) that gives you the same timetable for the other direction on your way home.
Note: uses internet data! - but only a single page. Probably 1kb or so each time?
Limitations (as by the 131500 mobile service): unable to directly give timetable for connecting trains. ie: both stations must be on the same line
Requires: .NET Compact Framework
Compatible with QVGA/VGA/WVGA devices. But I'm posting under blackstone forum because that's the phone I use
Freeware - and all comments/suggestions etc welcomed. Many thanks!
P.S. At uni now.. so i've only included a crude screenshot. I'll post a proper one if i get a fair bit of interest in this. thanks
hey mate do you think it would be possible to do up a brisbane one?
If there's a website that allows you to look up the brisbane timetables I don't see why not. alternatively if you can source a soft copy of the timetable?
www.qr.com.au
are you able to grab it from there?
Very useful, thanks!

I've just sent an email to QR. Will see what they say first..
It's good but don't like the fact it connects to the net to get the info.
If you look at timetables, they are mostly always the same, so you can get the info currently right now and make an offline version in which the times are accessible whenever and whenever there might be a new timetable, such as the new Chatswood lines, there could be an update button just to get the new times.
Other than that, good start but definitely needs an offline version.

[Problem] Instant Messseging

Hi readers,
I got my Blackstone for a few days now. I know sorta how Windows Mobile works, because i had a HTC Touch ELF before. Now i installed Windows Live, and Skype. And i cant get any of them to work.
I searched a lot, and all said problem with proxy etc etc, but i dont got all that. Opera works fine, TouchFlow can get everything from the internet aswell, but my IM messengers are lazy and give errors.
I got T-Mobile NL, i tryed to put the connection manually with the information privided by T-Mobile, i tryed to let him autoconfigurate it, but all without succes.
I posted some screenshots, with the error, and how my internet configuration is.
I use Dutty's rom, but the origional rom didnt make it work either.
So, anyone with the same problem, or someone know a solution, pleace let me hear.

Hmm, hard question? Or do i ask a stupid one.
I somehow got Skype to work, but somehow Windows Live Messenger is irritating by balls of. It's still not working. Tryed to put 3G of, nothing, no proxy, no nothing. It must be loving to iritate me.
Ive got this problem too, i think the messenger only works with wifi...(at least that the only way i can get it to work).

I've had this little bug too, Messenger refuses any other connection than Wifi, or only 3G. There was a new version released not long ago, look here http://home.mobile.live.com/ and maybe the update will help you

Hmm, the link you provided i cant see any download link, tough http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505188 will link you to it.
And it works

WiFi will not connect to internet w/Opera

I cannot get the WiFi to work on my ATT Tilt 2.
Any ideas? I can see connect to the wireless net point, but no connection to the internet.
Kind Regards,
Jim
I'm having the same issue on stock AT&T Rom..
I think I just found a workaround though.. Try starting Opera without wifi on, get it connected, then turn on wifi, go back into Opera and see if that works for you.. I'd love a better fix if there's any other workarounds.. For all my searching, I can't find it..

i've got the SAME problem as you guys. (Owning an TP2 device with WM 6.5)... the Wifi connects to my Router But I cant get any data from it when im using Opera OR Skyfire.. even though I got a full signal.
PS. I did however notice some weird stuff from the Ip-adress - witch were not correct given that my router is sharing NAT adress with "192.168.0.XX" and not 192.168.1.XX -Witch were given in my Htc device..
And according to my D-link Router, My htc device gets No IP whatso ever.. But it can be detected.
Any solution ??

See.. I thought I already tried that.. Just applied it again, and still no go.. Hmm..
Edit- nope.. still not working even after a reset.. I just hard reset this thing (stock AT&T) 2 days ago.. skyfire and pie are working fine with the wifi..
My above method is still the only way it's working..
Yup same problem here, I came across this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=621466&highlight=wifi+problems
and I guess if you update your Opera to a newer version it will correct this problem, but it seems to be alot of info there. Has anyone tried this?

Geolocation Problem. Does not exist?

So today I applied a couple of updates and I "think" that Beautiful Widgets was the last prior to seeing "Geolocation Problem: Location does not exist"

What the deuce!!!! Never have had to do that before.
Thanks for letting me know najaboy, would have never figured out the reason. Would have fixed it without knowing as I use maps all the time, just wouldn't have known what fixed it.
OK, spoke to soon. It didn't pop up but this time I got an explanation somewhat... Still don't know how to fix it:
I just got this message for the 1st time (traveling on business). I just closed this message, and it picked up the right location immediately. I have it on airplane mode during the day since I can't get signal where I am during the day, so the phone + GPS might have been in a confused state.
I got the message once yesterday, and now since 3am EST It keeps giving me this error message. Even with GPS on AND opening Google Maps.
PS - Also, I read on Androidforums something about checking the alternate geocoder, but that option is greyed out for me.
PPS - I changed from Accuweather to Google Weather and it seems to be working now.
I have the same issue .. switching to GOOGLE for weather seems to fix the issue but I dont think it is providing the correct location as accuweather did
any fix?
Interesting, never seen that...I kinda want it to happen just to be like, ha, I don't exist right now.
I have the same problem with something fix for me
First of all I'm sorry for my English as I'm from Thailand
I got the exactly same problem and I tried many way to fix it out and what is work for me is
I go to application, Manage Application, and clear the Data for Beautiful Widget
Then I remove the home widget and Add the beautiful home widgets again and set the weather service for Accuweather then thing just come up and the problem just fixed
This is work for me.
Cheers
This is a year old thread bud, safe to say this isn't a common problem.

I am currently using Google Chrome which isn't blocked.
I tried to clear chache and cookies in Firefox, but I am still blocked.
Can an Admin unblock me?
@Mister_Dave I'm always using Firefox but don't have such an issue gratefully.
@MikeChannon @the_scotsman
Gentlemen. any idea how to help our member?
Ive referred this to a different Admin.

Can you pm me your IP address and page you are trying to access that is blocked?
I'm more worried your browser is doing something malicious, like a bad plugin or something. Did you try with Firefox incognito with no extensions enabled?
I looked up the IP you made that post with and did not see any firewall events. Is it possible your Firefox is using a VPN and Chrome isn't?

The url of the page is simply https://forum.xda-developers.com/
As I've said, until yestarday as well in the past weeks, I didn't had any problem with Firefox; furthermore I didn't changed anything as well I don't have firewalls nor vpn.
In incognito mode I don't get the blocked page; I tried to disable extensions but the problem still remains.
In the meantime I also tried to disable all extensions and I found the culprit: was "User-Agent Switcher and Manager": I disabled it and then re-enabled and now Firefox works again...
EDIT: I spoke too soon: it happened again: I'm going to send you the PM.
EDIT 2: I placed "forum.xda-developers.com" in the Extension's whitelist: seems that works again after various times.
EDIT 3: yay, I can confirm it: I'm writing from Firefox.
