I’m having problem too. I can only access gmail through a client not the web page.
Does anyone know a (public) place with better service?

I don’t have any brewing experience. And I don’t know if I’m ambitious enough to try. But I’d really be interested in hearing about it.
If you guys meet up I’d love to join.

Hi, I understand there’s a new foreign owned Belgian Bar opening at jiuyanqiao bar street in the coming weeks.
Should be interesting to try.
I’ll let you know more when I do.

Based on your situation – you have a good phone already, and 3G seems important to you. I’d suggest bringing your phone here getting a China Unicom SIM and trying it. If your not happy, come back and ask about your other options. You don’t have to commit just get a cheap monthly pre pay sim.
-Unicom has OK 3G in cities and most small towns. but coverage gets flaky if you really get to wilder places.
-Telecom and Mobile have better 3G coverage in the sticks, but that phone won’t work on their 3G, it won’t get on China Telecom at all.

the best I ever got from 3G on unicom was:
it’s often 10% of that.
Totally agree with CZ’s comments. Carrying a spare battery made life much easier for me. I got a Nohon brand and it’s great.
Did you manage to make progress with any of your issues?
what version of the Desire do you have? HD? Do you know what version of android you’re on? I think HTC has a bad rep for updating right? Also is your phone ‘branded’ to a network?
Google play and most other Google services (inc Maps and push Mail) should work fine on foreign bought Phone’s I think, unless the network operator it’s bought though mucked it up.
that services work in the OK only in hotspot mode is bizarre. and it didn’t behave like this in Ireland?
There’s still quite a few things you can try to try to resolve your smaller issues. As well a a factory reset have you tried reformatting your SD storage?
would you consider flashing a custom rom?
but– the CPU shouldn’t overheat from using maps or the browser (if they work well or not) again this didn’t happen in Ireland?
understand not wanting to post the phone, but could you pass it to someone going back ask them to take it.
otherwise this overheating could be a bad hardware connection, some of the guys on mobile phone street can work miracles, maybe let them take a look.
I don’t know maybe you’ve resolved ur issues?
hi David. Welcome to Chengdu.
when you get a gig post the details I’d be interested in hearing.
You might find like minded musicians at machu picchu or lan town bars if you haven’t already tried.
Good luck
Hey Federico, I for one didn’t know. thanks for sharing.
this might give my poor old laptop a new lease of life.
How’s this device working out? Did you try to post an image? I can’t see.
Hi, this looks like an interesting project. Good luck with it.
i was going to add a few places but in the suggestion page doesn’t really reconcile with an info page? the different fields? upload photos? mark the place map? you’re going to do this research as part of the editorial process?
Try this. Its the site of the widget that says uses consulate data. It doesn’t need a VPN.
Yeah it seems to be a saga, depending on which version of hardware/maps you’ve got. I notice yours is AutoNavi. The guy I got the post from is getting maps from TomTom for some reason. Strange
Quote:Already fixed though, I made an Automator script that resizes and uploads it in a few seconds.That’s good. thx. can anyone use that?
I also (now) found http://www.uploadhouse.com/ that hosts and re-sizes in one.
if you’re inclined – or in a relationship that’s so – to turn everything in life into a food tour. Here’s a link to some food spots on line 2.
I tried yesterday. Worked great, the progress you can make west is amazing compared to the bus.
On pricing. I think it’s still just based on total number of stations traveled. I saw an incredibly complicated fare matrix that even include 5 Yuan for some journeys including the extremity stations, though that might have been in the future.
I don’ think you pay a premium for transferring between lines, we did short trips including line changes and still paid 2 RMB.
I took the circa 17 hours one from Shanghai to Chengdu last June. That too seems to have been cancelled.
that was quite an easy route, we arrived in Wuhan after only 5 hours. so it gave us plenty of time to (comparatively) crawl the second half of the route.
Yes if you can remember the route you took I’d be interested, I’ve become quite a train nerd since coming to China.
Is it possible the Beijing route also went to Wuhan then went north to Beijing thru Shijiazhuang from there? I can’t think of another high speed route north.
