Strange...all of a sudden, my hosts file isn't being honored. Domains I know are in there resolve and display.
Is there an upper size limit on these things? I thought maybe the line feeds were wrong, but it cat's ok in a term, so I think that's ok...

Vol down is the "ctrl" key in the terminal app (at least the one I use). So it would be Vol down +o to save and then vol down + x to exit.
Also, nano doesn't play well with swype.

the host file can be edited using root explorer so you need android root privilege
you need to put # {hash tag} symbol before any ip to fix google play no connection or google account could not connect to server

To replace host file in Android.
1. Download\install Root Explorer.apk
2. Find system/etc/hosts
3. Copy file to your sdcard
4. Plug phone into your computer
5. Drag an drop file to computer/open with notepad/Update host file
6. Replace onto sdcard
7. Use root explorer to copy back to etc folder

2Technically it's in /system/etc/hosts, /etc is a symlink.
If you want to edit it, create a hosts file on your SD card and then cp from terminal with root privileges. Or you could adb push it from your computer.
