I've been using the app called "Orbot" to access Tor sites on my Android tablet and most times it works OK but all night its been showing the icon on status bar (bottom of tablet screen) that says "unable to read hidden service name" and its red instead of green like usual. Does anyone know what this means or if its a huge problem?
I use my tablet a lot for convenience and I'd like to know if i messed something up.
Anyone know about this stuff?
If it matters, I'm using an Asus Slider with Android 4.0 I believe. And I use a router to connect wirelessly.

Have you changed any of the settings in Orbot that may have caused this? Have you always used the same router? Are you rooted (Needs superuser access)? Have u changed/upgraded the OS? I'm running ICS 4.0.3 on my NS4G and orbot has always worked. Make sure you have selected the app you want to tor from the orbot menu, if you say use the stock browser one day then chrome for android the next it will not know to tor chrome because its not specifically checked in the settings. Check those and report.

I'm using 3.2.1 but haven't updated cuz I'm not sure how to root again afterward. I did grant superuser access and i believe it just runs thru all apps. The only thing I unchecked was to start on boot.
