Custom URL page hanging...

Hi, complete newbie here. I'm trying to create an app that goes to some popular blogs, and on some of them I am having it go directly to the website using the "custom URL" plugin because that site's been optimized for mobile view already. However, after I get the source code and compile it on Eclipse for the Android, then install it on my Galaxy 3S to test, the site loads but then hangs and the app freezes. I get the circular "loading" animation in the middle of the screen, but after letting it load for 20 minutes the app is still frozen and I have to press the home button on the phone to completely get out of the app. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

Ah yes. The ol' 'spinning wheel of death'. I don't know if that's a plugin issue, or an issue with Android, although I lean towards the latter. There are just some sites that don't work well with that plugin. It all works magnificently on iOS. When I ran into that trouble, I finally found a way to allow a user to back out of it... https://dl.dropbox.com/u/115208762/WheelOfDeathFix.png But in the end, I just used an HTML Doc plugin and set it NOT to cache the page... Cheers! -- Smug

I have a facebook wheel of death problem. I integrated scringo 2.3.1 on android. The app opens and works great. When I log into facebook on a device that has the facebook app the scringo integrated app screen continues to load and nothing happens it just keeps loading. If I log in to facebook on the scringo integrated app that does not have facebook app, facebook loads fine. I need help fixing this. It seems like it could be a simple fix.
