[SOLVED]Medscape App. Help needed!!

Im a medical student and I really would love to be able to use the newly available Android Medscape app (free from the market) on my phone.
Unfortunately, it says in description of the app that it may have problems with "rooted" phones. Im assuming it means our HD2's running android on NAND as well, because after installing the App on my phone, I am unable to update/download the Clinical reference data required for the app to work offline.
It gives the error "Internet connectivity was interrupted..Please try again"
Any help from the developers or anyone else would be very greatly appreciated

Looking at the description and the error you gave, have you tried disabling any ad-blocking software? It may be something cooked into the ROM - if so, try asking the dev how to disable it. DLing now - i'll post back what I find.
.............................
EDIT:
Ok, having found this question asked on the thread for the ROM I use, you can remove medscape from the adblock 'hosts' list. (find it in \system\etc).

I had to copy the file to PC before editing and copied back again using droidexplorer.

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention the ROM im using. Its Core Droid DHD 1.5, and it seems you may be right. It says in the description of the ROM that the "Adds are Blocked (Host files modified)". Is there any way to reverse this host file change?

Fixed it with the help of the developer of the Core Droid ROM. Just opened the app "Add free" and hit "revert". Restored the original host file. Medscape works now.

im having the same issue and clicking the "revert" bottom on AdFree did not fix it

I have uninstalled AdFree and have the same problem all the time. Anybody fixed this?

i had the same problem!
After i revert the hosts file in ad-free, medscape did not update the reference!
So what i did:
I did not unistall ad-free, but:
- i revert the host file 3 times in a row;
- i stopped the access of AD Free from SuperUser (root access);
- and i restart medscape (i killed the process with automatic task killer) and start it again;
- and voila, my htc g1 is updating the reference while i text.
(i don't know what are the steps that make medscape update, but i guess, is the revert host file and restart the app, to it starts didn't knowing that can't access that host to update)
I hope this help you!
Good luck

It works for me, reverted host files, stopped Adfree acces to Superuser and voila!! Medscape is updating again. Thanx

how to correct medscape installation please?thx\

SOLVED!
Just got an OTA update for my flyer and software got updated to version 2.27.1540.32
The android version is 2.2.4 while sense is 1.0
Just for the record, AdFree only works on ROOTED devices. i mentioned in another thread on xda that adfree does not work for me. with this OTA update, my Medscape is finally installing as i type this - - -

Just kill the AdFree app and immediately run Medscape app,it'll definitely take the update.I did the same and it worked

i try looking for file in \system\etc
in use editor to open file host.. thera are a lot of files,
and it make me confuse, where the file "medscape from the adblock 'hosts' list" is ???

Hi everyone!
Well, I've experienced the same "connectivity error" as everyone with a root cellphone, after reinstalling medscape app at my cell. I never had AdFree, and even though I'm able to found the hosts file and take a look of it with my pc it says absolutely nothing about medscape (only 127.0.0.1 localhost and emptyness after), so I guess I must be getting the wrong file or not accesing to it correctly?
I've tried everything you said, but is still not working.
I'm pretty new with android, and I would really aprecciate you help, given the fact that this is one of my favorities app!

Install Android Market on Chinese P1010 (Wifi only)

Hi all,
I have read a lot about this, and I've tried to do it on my own but I've encountered some problems. I hope the experts here can help me out.
Here is what I've tried so far:
1) Rooted the device (success)
2) Installed ES File Explorer via SD card
3) I found there is no vending.apk in the system/apps folder on my tablet. So I copied (I tried several versions I have downloaded or stripped from ROMS) and tried to install there.
Problem: When I click to install the vending.apk, it simply tells me that it wasn't installed. Permissions are set to rw.
Next, I tried using ADB to install the vending.apk. When I use ADB, I get either INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS or (after I delete the vending.apk from the tablet and try again) I get INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK
At this point I'm at a loss. Am I trying to use the wrong vending.apk version or something?

I have also found this post on a Chinese forum regarding the tab. I'm posting the Chinese and Google translate version (in case you can read the original).
耗费一天，研究了N个帖子终于搞定，无需刷ROM, 具体步骤如下：
1. 获取Root权限：参考链接：http://bbs.gfan.com/android-586002-1-1.html， 其中最新版的SuperOneClick程序可在此下载：http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 其中也包含了三星的驱动程序
2. 下载RE文件管理器：http://bbs.gfan.com/attachment.p ... BVis1N2k4N0VLTkE%3D
3. 下载谷歌服务包http://u.115.com/file/f5d6693df# system.rar
4. 安装服务包，将其中的ETC目录下的Host文件复制到P1010的System/etc 目录下面
5. 此时已经可以看到谷歌账号可以在系统账号里添加了，我一度发现连不上服务器，后来发现居然是系统时间和实际时间不一致导致的
6. 如果发现电子市场在下载时会自动报错和退出，多半是因为权限问题，请参考此贴解决：http://bbs.xda.cn/thread-5266029-1-1.html 请注意其中文件名和我们安装的服务包中的文件名不同，将其中的com.android.vending.apk 改成我们服务包中实际安装的 vending.apk 即可。
现在终于一片清净，可以自如的在电子市场里下载东西了！

Spend a day of N posts and finally get, no need to brush ROM, follow these steps:
1. Get Root permission: Reference Links: http://bbs.gfan.com/android-586002-1-1.html, including the latest version of SuperOneClick program can be downloaded here: http://forum.xda-developers. com / showthread.php? t = 803682 which also includes Samsung drivers
2 Download File Manager RE: http://bbs.gfan.com/attachment.p ... BVis1N2k4N0VLTkE% 3D
3 Download the Google service pack http://u.115.com/file/f5d6693df #% 20system.rar
4 install the service pack, will be one of the ETC directory of the Host file to the P1010's System / etc directory
5 At this point you can see Google account already in the system account to add, I once found Rom server, the system was actually found time and time differences between the actual result
6. If it is found in the electronic market will automatically download error and exit, mostly because of access problems, please refer to Citie address: http://bbs.xda.cn/thread-5266029-1-1.html Please note that one file name and we installed the service pack file names are different, we will be one of the com.android.vending.apk into the actual service pack can be installed vending.apk.
Now finally a clean, you can freely download the electronic market things!

The link to dowload the "Google service pack" is expired. What is this file? How do I get it, and what do I do with it?

Finally got the Market and other Google apps installed. Just needed the right version I guess.
Market opens. I can see apps listed and I can search. As soon as I try to view an app or click on My Apps, it force closes every time.
What would cause this?

[Q] Can't access network share - FIXED

I'm trying to access a network share on a Win7 machine on my home network.
I was able to access it a couple of days ago but I'm now receiving an error that says:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Plain text passwords are disabled
I'm using Astro when I get this error.
I've tried using ES File Explorer but it fails to load the network share too.
I tried finding this error on this forum and on the web but can't find anything that seems related. Can anyone offer any help?

If it helps I'm using stock JVU.

Okay, problem fixed...
I uninstalled/reinstalled Astro and can now access my shares again

Real fix for problem:
1. Reboot to CWM.
2. Go to Advanced -> Fix permissions.
3. Reboot to Android, problem gone.

I'm not rooted, and I experience this same problem from time to time accessing a Windows 7 share in ES File Explorer on my Nexus 7 2013 edition. A reboot of the PC seems to fix it, but I'd prefer not to have to resort to it.

That's weird, I haven't had this problem for a really long time.
Sorry I can't help with it.

Plain text passwords are disabled

================================
That message indicates a permissions problem on the target Windows computer.
1. Make sure the folder/file is actually shared (Check in the computer management console)
2. Make sure you have give explicit permissions to access it. Even if only one folder does not have the permissions, you will still get the message.In the shares section of the management console double click the desired share and check the permissions. Add your (login) ID to the permissions tab if necessary and tick the appropriate boxes.

Nah it was a permissions problem in Android.
Refer to my post three above yours where I posted how I fixed the problem.

Hello, just to add a bit of info here. I got the same error on 3 different Android devices simultaneously, so I figured fixing permissions on all of them won't work. What worked is restarting Server service on my Windows 7 x64 to which they tried to access. I also found info that this problem shows up periodically, so maybe setting up a Scheduled Task which will restart this service from time to time would also be beneficial.

I had to do the same thing. Very annoying. Other computers work fine, just Android stops.

I finally found the permanent solution.
Set the following registry key to ’1′:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\LargeSystemCache
and set the following registry key to ’3′:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\Size

Super easy NOOB guide to enable tethering on Moto Droid ?

My uncle has the Droid 1, he lives in a different state and he wanted me to send him instructions on how to get the free wifi tethering. I typed up these instructions, Is this all he needs to do? :
--
1. Download Z4Root (I'd send him the APK)
2. Open it and click Perma-Root (tell him it takes a few minutes)
3. Download Superuser Permissions from Google Play (is it called Android Market still on the Droid 1?)
4. Open Superuser, let it do its thing (is this step necessary?)
5. Download Free WiFi Tether (attached APK)
6. Open, click the tethering icon, click "Allow" when superuser prompt pops up.
7. That's it! It will show up under "AndroidTether" on your computer's wifi connections.
To change the name or password-protect the WiFi, hit the Menu key and go into settings, "Change SSID" to change the name of the WiFi network, and tick "Enable WiFi Encryption" , then click "Change PassPhrase" to set a password.
To stop tethering, click the icon again, and again click "Allow" on the Superuser Permissions. This is the last time you'll have to do this, in the future it will allow it automatically.

Did I miss anything? Or is this fool-proof?

Use teamviewer
You are better off using teamviewer.
Send him the files that you'll need, and also the link to the teamviewer android app. Once he installs and runs it, you should be able to gain access to his phone and do the stuff for him. THat's much easier.

Are your comments related to the LG G4? I don't understand the connection between your Boost Mobile LG Stylo 2, and the Sprint LG G4 discussion?

WoW
The directions pointed me to the right direction, no mention of HOW I found a download link, nor the fact a gui screen for username/password would be involved. Lets see, yeah also the fact using admin in username with nothing in password field GOT THE download....
Do you see a link posted for ny firmware?
Details like these being shared can, NO DO make the difference for others especially in a situation of having a device bricked...
But all your interested in is trying to point out something like your THE MODERATOR ON XDA & what? Didn't take the time to [email protected] your "thanks" meter but giving this poor attitude your exhibiting its probably 0....
Go figure
