"Host name may not be null" in app

[bionicdude]

Not a fix, but a workaround...

I set up a pptp vpn on my router.
Android has built in vpn capability, so I just vpn into my home network and connect "locally" to the server. This works even on 3g.

Not ideal, but at least I get to use the server.


Edit: sgs 2 using ICS

I've got everything working fine on my SIII using a variant of the DSub app.

Have you tested the Dsub app on the demo server?

What king of phone?

It's a Galaxy Note running CM9.

I tried this in the wee hours of the night so I don't recall if I tried the demo server.

I thought the issue was related to my .no-ip.org domain having the hyphen in the URL but I even tried my .subsonic.org hostname without any success.

If you're inside your network on wifi, try the local address, ie. 192.168.1.xxx:4040.

Like the original problem states, it works over WiFi but not over the cellular data network.

Then test to see if your phone works on the demo server and check to see if the port to your host is open at http://canyouseeme.org

No need. Seems like this issue was fixed with the latest release on the Google Play Store.

Thanks anyways!

It would be great if someone could confirm that this error is really fixed in version 3.4 of the Android app.

Thanks!
