N900: Updating RSS feeds over a 3G-connection
 

Hi folks,

I'm subscribing to a few rss-feeds with my N900. Updating the feeds while wlan-connected works like a charm. Unfortunately updating the feeds wile 3g-connected doesn't.

I did check the "All connections"-box under Preferences. I also installed FeedingIt, with the same rss-feeds. The problem didn't go away. The rss-feeds still won't update while 3g-connected.

It's a mystery to me. Has anybody else had the same problem?

Cheers,

Mike

Short reaction; no. Vodafone in NL works fine in the standard RSS app. Slightly slower than Wifi.

nope.. never had any issues with RSS over 3G.

Mighty odd. I guess the problem lies at the service provider, then :confused:

t-mo usa 3g works fine while updating feedingit for me...

No problem for me with ATT in the US other than the standard lament that the N900 doesn't use AT&T's 3G frequency...

Yup, i have the same problem. Issue occurs with standard rss and FeedingIt.
See page 25 of FeedingIt post in this forum.
I think the problem is the following:
KPN uses a proxy for the 3g connection.

@cisqo, zupidupi, can you download this to your n900:
http://feedingit.marcoz.org/test2.py
connect to 3g
start a X-terminal, and run:
python2.5 MyDocs/test2.py
(assuming you saved it into the MyDocs folder), and then send me the output (Private message or email is fine).

Also, are you able to open the RSS URL in the browser?

@Slocan, I did sent you an email, maybe it didn't arrive...

I'm able to open the feed in the browser btw.
These are the results of the connection checks.
I did one check with wifi and one with mobile internet.
It seems when I use mobile internet there's a proxy involved.
Is there somithing changed in the last change or the change before that one?
Cause before the last or the second last change there were no problems regarding the connection...
If there is a solution for this or an bypass it would be nice. If I need test some more, please let it know.

Test.py while on wifi:

/MyDocs $ python test2.py
Proxy?: False
Port: 0
Host:
Data: 7432

Test.py while on mobile internet:

~/MyDocs $ python test2.py
Proxy?: True
Port: 554
Host: 10.10.100.11
Data: 7510

I had the same problem, and I suspect fMMS did something fishy in the background. I had the proxies defined on my GPRS access point, although the 'use proxy' was not on. I cleared all the proxy settings, and the RSS feeds started to work again over GPRS.
