[Guest tcpaulh]

Which Rom?

[Guest only1carra]

The name of it is in Chinese so not sure exactly but has been fine upto now. Just wondered if anyone else has had the same issues with the g300

[Guest wrtease]

when i had this problem it was down to the hosts file.and the fix did solve issues with all problems internet related.also wigets and search would work fine .

[Guest only1carra]

cant get that link to open im afraid

[Guest only1carra]

just wondering if my gapps file is not compatible with the g330

[Guest wrtease]

the hosts file possibly doing the problem,or your gapps might need to be updated for the g330.

[Guest only1carra]

can you clear the whole hosts file?

[Guest wrtease]

you could copy a host file from any other rom and paste it in your system,etc folder with root permissions .that way you will have all working. i can send you the file from skype .

I have some files I can try, will give it a go! cheers

[Guest only1carra]

I tried new hosts files with no Joy so given up!

Bought an Xpedia P which arrived neday on saturday unlocked and only £149.99!

Its a better phone than the Huawei G330 and hopefully there should be more support

for it on the Forums, have it rooted and its great!

The G330 was a great phone but just not enough support to go with my limited technical ability!

Mine is shortly to be listed on Ebay if anyone is interested before hand let me know, only owned it

a few weeks and is in mint condition with all original box, books and accessories plus case.

If anyone wants one of the Sonys then the offer on the News page is a great one!
