Got my TF300 today, downloaded a couple of my usual apps (Draw Something, Scramble with Friends, Words with Friends). I tried launching them, tried to sign in through Facebook in the apps. It keeps directing me to Indonesian facebook (I have language set to English United States). Going to facebook with browser brings me to English facebook website. I have the same versions of the games on my HTC Flyer and they are English. Any idea what's going on?
reset it and start from scratch?
I thought about doing that but I had already done the root, ota update, re root and populated my tablet with my usual apps.. not that big of a problem, I guess..
Try morelocale from the market and set the locale to where you are.
Thanks for the suggestion but morelocale didn't do anything to fix the problem :\
May be a shot in the dark, but are you connecting to the internet through a VPN/proxy that's located out in or near Indonesia?
Not at all. Router (purchased in USA) is on default DNS too.
I live in Sweden and get directed to the Norwegian facebook sign-in site.
Tried a factory reset and a downgrade then re update and still the same.

I hope someone here can help me since i am so desperate after searching many forums, anyway i'll try summarize it as much as i can :
- my desktop twitter log in working.
- my x10 browser log in working.
- x10 opera mini log in working.
- desktop applications like tweetdeck and cotweet which require authorization working too..
- any twitter application for android isn't working, Twiteroid, etc even timescape tells me invalid account information,
Twiteroid tells my it can't authorize the account ( and its not the one hour problem that happens due to wrong password )
- i've tried revoking all access from all program but again no use..
Any ideas ?
sent from my x10i that is banging for a 2.1 upgrade. ...
there are loads of twitter apps out there for android
SWIFT
TWIDROID
TWITPRO
SEESMIC
TWICCA
and my personal favorite TWEETCASTER
check your user name and password again when entering it ...sometimes when using swype or slide it you can accidentally rely on it too much for accuracy and it will add in a word you previously entered incorrectly!
I have also noticed with passwords and emails if you have AUTO word space set up in SWYPE you can end up with a space where you do not need it and not see this glitch until it rejects your userame/password!
edit additional If your using a Googlemail or Gmail acct for your email then try re registering with a different email address sometimes GOOGLE mail account can cause headaches and not allow access to some stuff ... the android market being one will not accept an @gmail acct and needs you to use an @googlemail this is due to them offering the googlemail to gmail switch a month or so back!
TWIDROID, SEESMIC, TWICCA all not working
i can't be writing my username and password wrong for 2 days now comon
besides i log in normally on the web browser which makes me more confused
i tried log in with the username and not the Email and still no use..
it just keeps me going crazy..
There was a similar thread that I responded to on SE's own forum. I gave all the normal suggestions but none worked. In the end the lady concerned said she had to restart (?) her whole phone and lost her contacts so I think she did a factory restore on it. But that did solve the Twitter problem.
I think this is a problem that has occured in the last few days because I also noticed another couple of threads on there about the same thing. I asked the other poster to pay it forward and give a description of exactly what she did to resolve it. Sadly at this point she hasn't done so.
Hey suzed,
I sure remember your name from the se forum, you have like million post there
Anyway, i would like to make a factory reset my last resort since i am not rooted and dont want to, i wish i could solve this confusing problem, i even cant figure out if its twitter sided or mobile sided error, wait a min. I have an idea , Am gonna try another account and see where it goes...
I will post back soon.

Yeah I know I need to get a life Sadly its a bit addictive trying to help people, bugs the cr*p out of me when I can't help especially on something that should be so flipping simple.
before you resort to desperate measures... try going into settings/ applications/ manage applications/ timescape/ clear data.. and Then do the same for timescape plug in manager and timescape provider.. then do the same for any Twitter apps you have.
You'll need to set those up again, but it might just do the trick!

nope, still no hope, i can't believe it, i have to do a full wipe for twitter .. lame ..
Hi mezo, the person on the SE forum did confirm this morning that is was a factory reset that did the trick (I get email notifications on that one - oh dear lord I need a life) but what a pain in your rear end just to get it working.
Wow you are fast, i just that notification 15 min ago too
Its just too early here, i guess i'll give it a try after backing up everything.
Will let you know how it goes...

still, not solved, i posted there in the same topic intesd of talking in two threads on two separate forums.
Right Just thought of something you need to change your APN settings from AUTOMATIC to manual and choose your provider MANUALLY!
I kinda vaguely remember having a similar issue when I used GERMAN EU firmware before finding the proper UK unbranded generic firmware

Hello guys
I've been trying few builds of android and install apps from the market.
When switching to a new build, I link my phone with a googlemail account so all the contacts are restored.
Unfortunately also ALL the apps are sync, downloded and installed aswell from the market, without asking me anything. I do not want this to happen.
This happen everytime, no matter whichever build I was using.
Searched first in google, then in xda but didn't find anything. Does it happen only to me? xD
has anyone got a solution?
thx
I don't know how to get rid of this problem, but it's normal, so you're not the only one. The apps you have downloaded in the market are safed in your google account, because some people have purchased apps and don't want to buy them again..
ok
fair enough then.. cheers
Hmm.. Maybe there is a solution. I never tried, but it may work.
After setting up your phone (the first thing you have to do when you boot a new build) go at first to settings > Accounts & synchronization. Sorry dunno how it's spelled in Englisch, using my phone in German There go to your Google Account and remove the ticks at contacts, mail and calendar. Then go to your market and accept the license agreement.
It could be that the market now doesn't install your apps because you don't sync your google account anymore. But if you're using this account for mail and so on this is no option, will see if I find another possibility.
Edit: Found another solution that worked for other users. In a German forum they told you have to skip the setup at the beginning, go directly to settings > SD-Card & Telephone Memory (something like that) and do a factory reset. Then boot again and the market won't install anything. If this doesn't work try to set up your phone at the beginning and do a factory reset then.
That's all I've found. Now I'm out. Tell me if it worked
Cheers

I realised that it only installs the programs that you had installed in the last build.
Therefore all the apps I removed won't sync..
I probably had a bug in my last build that blocked google to complete sync.. damn xD
However my internet is not that fast as I live in the middle of farms & field, so I'm gonna download all the .apk from internet; then I will put them in the folder Android Apps and the new build just install them on the first boot.
But thanks for your research, I may use it later on.. you never know.
Cheers

turn off Google backup, in settings as well as when FIRST setting up Android after hitting the Android on the first screen. One of the few first things is Google Backup, for apps and bookmarks. Disable this.
Please can someone help - I bought a Samsung i/o.
I live in Africa - have google apps account and gmail account.
Out the box I can't get the Browser to do anything but eventually fail - even google.com
Gmail works perfectly- latitude, maps.
The Market loads but no thumbnails - and if I try download something - it hangs.
Any ideas?
Is it region issues?
I have superuser.
I dont think that could be a tablet problem, maybe a connection problem, your wifi or 3g have some kind of firewall?
I say that because if the OS can connect to something the connection in the android system works, but if specific programas not, maybe can be the provider. I just saying.
yeah i can't work it out- i have an htc desire - never had any issues with anything. my pc uses gmail and chrome?
Still no ideas anyone? Driving me crazy - it's just a large email screen!
Without working browser or market I'm left SO disappointed.
Hi,
For some reason my S3's Play Store only ever gives me results from Spain (where the handset has been) but I'm in Belgium
I've tried various ways to 'relocate' it correctly, to no success. Also I've tried tweaking my Google account settings via the web and it did nothing.
Anyone have any ideas please?
is this a help section?
Are you by any chance still using a Spanish SIM?
Hi,
Nope, actually it's never even had a Spanish SIM in it. My original GMail account dates back to when living in Spain tho.
All the best

Google is now using many things to make sure people can only use the store for their location and the country where the gmail account was set up is one of the things they take into account. Along with where it was sold at.
Simple guess you have Spanish firmware or CSC .

Hey,
Nope, it's actually purchased in Belgium, but I've changed the CSC to the United Kingdom and run the latest UK ROM on it.
Looks like your country is changed to Spain, try set it to Belgium
Yes, but where exactly? This is the question
try to clear play store data and cache then reboot
The problem is your Gmail account.
Look for the deep setting of your Google account...

I've looked everywhere, really I have. Can't find anything.
I've been working in Germany for a while there I decided to buy a Nexus 4 through the Play Store.
However I came to Portugal, and now on my Play Store continues to show me the categories "Movies" and "Books" with content in German language when not even available here in Portugal.
I already removed my address German Google account and returned to pre-define the abode Portuguese.
I'm sure this is some definition to my account, because I started the session with another Android and appears in Portuguese and all without the categories "Movies" and "Books."
I think my Google account continues to be taken as if it were still in Germany.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this situation?
I leave also two prints of the situation, the same happens on my computer's browser.
Thanks

You can change some things at:
Primary Language: https://www.google.com/settings/account
Credit Cards https://wallet.google.com/manage/#paymentMethods
Home Address: https://wallet.google.com/manage/#settings
Latitude Home & Work: https://maps.google.com/locationhistory/b/0/dashboard
Also check which Country SIM card you currently have, and what Country IP addess you used to created your Gmail account.
Android Market tends to use current SIM card for Country Location.

My country SIM card is Portuguese. IP used in google account which will be also one of Portugal, I'm not using a proxy/VPN foreign.
Already cleared the browser cookies, and the cache of Play Store. I do not know what could be...
some guys from my country (Poland) had exactly the same problem.
as stated 2 posts above, you have to change all your settings back to portugese everywhere in google services, and that also includes google wallet !!
and after that im pretty sure you have to re-login to your google account on the nexus 4 which is basically doing a factory wipe/reset!
also keep in mind that i do recall some guys from polish forums claiming that even after that did all that, the problem didint fix.
i think they ended up calling google for help, after all it is not illegal to buy this phone the way you did
