HTTP status 401 - Galaxy Tab General

Good day gentlemen.
I was wondering if any of you are experiencing the "HTTP status 401" error when opening the web browser on your Tabs?
I had it the other day, but I just cleared the cache, cookies, etc etc, and it started working again. But this time, I did that, and nothing happened. It continues giving me that damn error!
In case you're wondering - no, I haven't done anything to the Tab besides root it
Any ideas?

More info please. When does it do this? Are you able to connect with other browsers?

Well, I've only had the Tab for a few days, but it happens randomly (only happened twice now).
First time, I cleared the cache, cookies, etc, and rebooted, and it worked fine. But this time, nothing was fixing it. I tried everything.
So I installed CacheCleaner from the Market, and ran it. Then rebooted. Now browser is working again, which means this is a bug in the software (my Tab is from Vodafone Portugal). But it's sad that to fix a problem in the browser, I had to root the Tab and install a CacheCleaner... geez.
Oh, and when the browser didn't work, everything else worked fine; Youtube, Market, Gtalk, Gmail, etc.
So it's a bug in the browser software...

I think i have the same problem. Altho my error says (translated from norwegian to english):
«Dataconectionproblem
The server could not communicate. Try again later. »
Same message in both stockbrowser and dolphin.

I've experienced the same problem. First thing I tried was emptying the cache which didn't help. Ended up turning off the device and switching it on again after a minute or two. Haven't experienced it since.

Yup, I had to reboot it too. But strangely, it appears randomly now, and nothing I do can fix it. I just have to wait an hour or two, and it starts working again... like magic...?
Anyway, since it's the first version of the firmware for the Tab, I don't blame them for having bugs. I just hope that Samsung does a better job on the firmware for the Tab than for the SGS!

market downloads stuck on "starting download" and gtalk not working

Hey everyone,
I've been trying to figure this out for a couple days now. I'm running cyanogenmod 4.2.6, and whenever I try to download anything from the market, the download gets stuck at "starting download". I've tried everything, from clearing the cache of the market app and google apps; going into the terminal and doing "rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*"; even performing a full wipe and reinstalling cyanogen. Finally I just tried the regular 1.6 rom from the HTC website (I know the downloads are down, someone sent it to me). All to no effect, the market downloads still don't work, nor does google talk.
This all leads me to believe it might not be an issue with the apps, but an issue with my google account.
Anyone have any idea whatsoever as to what I could do about this?
Thanks in advance!

I have this problem too, though I don't use Google Talk so I can't comment ther.e In regards to the downloads, it seems that the Market gets clogged and you just have to wait for it to unstick sometimes. I've also had the problem where after download it just never installs, as with the recently released Google Maps. Rebooting solved that one.
Oddly enough the problem persisted for several days, then randomly went away. Nothing I did triggered anything, it just started the downloads randomly in the middle of the night.
Very strange.

News app problems

i have some issues with the news app on my dhd. it synced with my google reader account.
but now i tried to organize it a little bit. tried to unsubscribe some feeds but i cant. i always get the message "Unable to unsubscribe"
so i deleted it already in google reader on my pc but even if i hit refresh its still there...
any ideas?
same problem
Same problem...except mine kept force closing...I had to do a hard reset. It was fine for a while...now again it keeps saying updating but does not update. Everytime I have to keep removing and adding the widget.
Mine doing the same, force closing now?
looks like a bigger issue...
it doest force closing yet, but its not working at all. just did a one time update and thats it, tried to remove feeds, still there, added feed. the feed is there but the app doesnt update it...
Ditto - same issue
Was Googling for help with this but none to be found. Hopeful that someone'll figure it out and post here.
My experience:
It was working fine until about a couple of weeks ago - can't remember if I updated anything - but all of a sudden News stopped updating successfully and won't let me unsubscribe from anything.
I've had exactly the same problem. I've given up on it and switched to RSSDemon... very good app.
Fixed mine by doing factory reset and following instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834323
I think HTC need to do something about this...this is the third thread I have seen on here with regards to the newsreader widget. Mine kept force closing so I did a hard reset...it was fine untill a few days ago...keeps sayign updating but it doesn't! I have to keep removing and re-adding the widget for it to update properly again...i'm sure this can be sorted with a software update...coming from Nokia to HTC I thought it was the end of hard re-sets..but not so!!
i did a hard reset now and everything seems to work so far...lets see if it stays that way
mine stopped updating about 2 weeks ago, tried doing a clear data from settings>applications, but that's just made it so everytime i try to load the news app now it flashes up as if it's about to open, and then disappears to the previous screen.
anyone else?
is there anyway to reinstall this app without a hard reset? i want to get this sorted but i don't think its worth losing everything else..
I also have had all the above problems, now it's happened again after a hard reset fixed it for about a week.

Market failing to install apps?

I'm seeing a fairly consistent problem where I click to install an App, and it gets hung in "Waiting to install". Eventually it just stops trying.
Everything else on the pad works great. I've had no slowness issues, nothing at all wrong with the pad -- just randomly applications don't install. I've installed installing things from the web market because they always work there.
Yeah, that happens to me too. Its annoying to say the least.
Clearing the Market cache usually fixes it for me, at least for a while.
it does happen sometimes, just try a few times and it will eventually install..
Same here, sux yo
Yeah happens to me all the time. Super lame. I just try multiple times.
Ditto. Very annoying. I had hoped 3.1 would have fixed this, but it didn't.
same here .. sometimes i would get connection failure and to 'retry' or 'cancel'
i would turn off wifi and back on and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. rebooting will make it work again but then the issue would occur at times. not all the time though.
or i would disconnct from my wifi and turn on wifi tethering on my phone and have it connect to their and market would load fine again. =/
happens to me too. I usually just back out to the previous screen and try to install it again.
I'm having the same problem. And sometimes pressing a button causes a switch to the recent app (like alt+tab on windows).
Make sure that Google Talk is running in the background and you are logged in. For some reason the Market and Talk are related and killing Talk will cause the Market to hang.
Happens to me too, and trying to install multiple times (while it usually works eventually) will also frequently result in the app not showing in Market's "My Apps" section once installed, or showing but not being able to be uninstalled from Market.
The workaround I've found that so far works 100% of the time is to power the tablet off completely when an app hangs up installing, then restart the tablet and enter market again. The app will then immediately and quickly install without issues.

yea that usually works for me too but kinda annoying to have to keep rebooting just to get the market working. seems like the market will lose connection if the tablet is idle for a certain amount of time even though i have the wifi disconnect policy set to never. and even though market will have connection issue, i can browse the internet and everything perfectly fine when leaving hte tablet idle. hope this gets fix in 3.2!

XOOM won't connect to google...

My wifi Xoom, using EOS 155, hasnt been able to connect to google's servers in several days. everything else works fine.... browsing, the amazon app store app, irc, etc. But the wifi icon won't turn blue, and when I try to goto the Andriod market it says it can't connect. gmail seems fine... just sent an email to another account and got the reply....
If i go into settings and look under accounts, everything that I have setup to sync says its doing it.... I just can't access the market and the wifi icon is grey.
This happens no matter where I'm at... my house, my friends and family, work, etc. So I know it can't be the network I'm connect to. I haven't made any changes to any settings in a while.... so unless something changed without me doing it....
I've power cycled it numerous times... both rebooting and turning it off completely and then back on again.
Anyone have any ideas what might be the problem???
Thanks

Strange problem... been using EOS for months now and have not had a similar connection issue. Only problem I had connecting to Google site and Application store occurred when I move to Google 2-way authentication and had to setup the security properly.
Did you have this same problem using an earlier version of EOS? When upgrading to EOS 155 did you do a wipe or clean your dalvik and cache? I would try a full system wipe and reflash the ROM. Sometimes it is easier to redo it from scratch then track down a particular issue.
I've never had any issues with any version of EOS, and I've been using them since night 1. And I had 155 installed since it was released... and this issue just happened a week or two ago. So nothing should have changed on my xoom.... unless it was done by some application or something. (And I'm the only user of the device)
I've tried stopping and clearing the cache on the google play app.... which I found the suggestion on another site... but that didn't do anything.
I had this happen before, but it normally just required a rebooting of the tablet, and it would then connect again.
I wish there was something like on windows with the event viewer.... cause I have no idea what the problem is. The error message when I try to connect to the storeis RH-01.
I'm going to install EOS4... but I wanted to wait a day or three until they have a chance to find/correct any early bugs.
I've also been getting error messages about google+... which I never had before. I'll just be doing anything.... browsing, using tweetcaster, playing music, etc and a error msg about google+ pops up.
Could not figure out what the issue was.... I just installed EOS nightly 160.. and everything is back to normal. I don't know if it was a Xoom issue or EOS issue... esp. considering everything was working fine on the nightly I was on for weeks... then all the sudden it stopped.
Reinstalling all my apps...
Simple solution: reflash gapps package.
Lol it's really that simple, I had the same issues as well, but on CM roms.

I've had a similar issue.. but resolved it with simply removing/deleting the remembered networks and re connecting them. This could be an artifact of my network setup with both the router and a wireless extender being visible from my location.. and once in a while it seems to confuse the connected systems.
Of course if I learned to leave my working systems alone.. they might not 'break' so often. but it is just too much fun to play:silly:

Oh well... I should have just tried reflashing everything... but I figured I would move on to 4.2 soon anyway... which I like (4.2) but it's a bit laggy on my xoom compared to 155.
You have to make sure you flash the correct gapps version with the ROMs. 4.2 nightlies require the packages named as follows: gapps-jb-201301##-EOS-XOOM-ONLY.zip be flashed together at the same time. EOS ROM 155 gets flashed with gapps-jb-20120802-eos-signed.zip.

Websites opening automatically

Hi everyone,
Since today I have the issue that randomly my internet browser opens automatically and randomly some website, it happened 2-3 times in the past hour and everytime it is a different one. I need also to mention that the last time my phone was locked and after I unlocked it the browse was allready open...
I die not install any new apps in the past days but it seems like I have some kind of malware on my phone. I tried already to scan my phone with Avast antivirus but it found nothing. Does anyone has similar experience and how I can try to track and fix this issue without having to factory reset my phone?
I've had this happen to me as well. Not to the extent that you're experiencing, and mine seemingly fixed itself. Try a reboot and check app permissions on all your apps to see if any of them seem fishy.
Save your bookmarks clear data/cache and reboot
