JF 1.41 RC33 Problem

I updated my jf 1.41 rc30 to jv 1.4.1 RC33. It updated fine and then i noticed my home button would not work, also my green call button does not bring up "dialer" like it use to but when i access dialer and click the green button over a contact it dials. Any ideas how to fix this?

Did you do a wipe?

no they said it was not necessary

I've ran into that issue a couple times, before I ever started using the modded images, and the only way around it I found was a wipe. To be honest I think the cause of my similar problem was related to the Locale app.

I got this problem too.. I did a reset to factory default and everythiing gone ok.

After upgrading to RC33 i had issues with AnyCut, it would not create a shortcut. didn't matter if i left it in the menu, ont he homescreen or in a folder. I ended up uninstalling it and reinstalling. then it worked fine.
I am thinking a wipe might be in order...just in case other hidden issues arise.

I've got a different problem. I don't have T-Mo signal at my house, so I only use WiFi to access the internet, and UMA on another phone for calls.
Last weekend, (which was the first time I tried to access data on edge or gprs, since updating to JF's ADP 1.41), I noticed I didn't have the E or G data thing next to the signal thing anymore. (We don't have 3G).
Then I tried accessing the weather, and all of my weather programs, as well as maps, market, and the browser said I didn't have a connection.
I didn't have much time to check things out, since we were busy. Today, we went to T-Mo coverage land again, and my data connection didn't work again.
I've checked all my APN's, and they look fine. I also tried changing them to wap, internet2 and internet 3, but no success.
Has anyone else had this problem? (I can send sms and mms, then I see the little data thingy doing it's thing, but that's the only time I see it since rooting). Also, If I call customer care, they will probably try to reset my phone. What will that do to my ADP? Should I tell them I have a Dev phone?
Or has anyone here got any tips for getting data back? (I did a wipe and reapplied the ADP ROM, but that didn't fix anything).

I'm experiencing the same problem now. Did you manage to get it fixed?

I have the same problem switching from wifi back to edge data... the only short term fix i have found to get the mobile net back is send a picture message to yourself. It causes the phone to create the connect and then you should be able to resume using the Edge data...
i was actually coming on here to find a fix for this myself.

Did you recently install any new apps?
I updated my WeatherBug, Steel, Personal Safety, SMS Popup and Discover and installed TetherBlu, TetherWiFi.
I have already uninstalled all of these and tried a reboot. But it didn't work.
I'm starting to panic. I'll try your suggestion.

this was the case right after i installed rc33 there was a thread about the radio that i had been posting on. Thinking my radio update made it so i could not get on market etc... but this was the work around i found for this problem. From the sounds of the other user who said he doesn't have TMo reception near his house. this radio was probably not meant for the non-3g users or there is something wrong with the default connect on the radio...

I've contacted Tmobile and it seems there is a severe network outage for 3G services that is also effecting some Edge networks as well. I've posted info on the site but people continue to post that they are having issues with data on their G1. They told me that it seems to be only on the west coast (west of the Mississippi) and the Tier 3 was being flooded by calls until 6am EST (for the customer service department to open). The network went down around 10pm PST and it is still pending. It's a good thing I decided to call first before reflashing!

Right but in rc33 it doesn't smoothly resume mobile edge from wifi. thats where i told the user if you send a test pic to yourself it will make the connection. Who knows about your network outtages...

Hmmm... I've never had issues resuming an edge network after a wifi connection. I use wifi at home because INSIDE I don't get 3G. Outside (for some reason) I get full strength 3G connection at around 400kb/s. So when I wonder outside to check the mail while I'm downloading a new theme update it doesn't miss a beat for me. I lose contact with my weak a** wifi and jump right on 3G. No download error or anything. As for Edge... not sure. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

this was posted somewhere before...
cant remember where..
solution is to install anycut.
make a shortcut on the main screen, choose the shortcut to be "setup wizard"
this forces the phone to go thru the initial setup again..
most reported that after going thru this process again, home button works after that...
hope it works for u.

YouTube Login Error

I'm experiencing the following error when attempting to login via the social networks part of the data connection function:
There was a connection error while attempting to login.
Does anyone have the same problem and has a fix been found?

i second that, seems to happen to me too even after a hard reset, i cannot login to youtube anymore. Facebook works ok but doesn.t download photos anymore. Does anyone knows what is causing this ?

I think this is an issue with the youtube web service that Sense logs into, as it didn't work for me for most of a day, and then it suddenly did and has worked ever since.
Sod's law! I just tried it again and it's not working now.
Nothing's changed on my phone, so it must be youtube's problem. Just leave it a few hours and try again. Unless, of course, you're saying it's like this all the time!

Mine also used to work a few days ago - most likely something YouTube has done.

T-Mobile Netherlands cannot help
I have the "There was a connection error while attempting to logon." aswell and called the Dutch T-mobile. I'm using a UK version of the HD2 and want to use the Youtube Widget aswell. The first helpdesk employee said it could be something with "bering" not sure what it is. The connection was dropped the seconde helpdesk employee switchde me to second line helpdesk, this guy told me no restrictions are in place AFHK. He also said that with iPhones they can do more, but since the HD2 isn't delivered by T-mobile he couldn't help.
I checked with a disabled Sim card and enabled WiFi connection and still got the "There was a connection error while attempting to logon." message. WHen trying http://m.youtube.com my login credentials just work on both connections (WiFi and 3G/H).
Are these widget controlled by the provider or youtube or a registry entry or ???
Best Regards, Onedb

Well as far as i see, the youtube connection error started to happen suddently to devices that didn.t suffer any change. I.m guessing that is somehow youtube.s fault and maybe it will be fixed in time. Same thing happend with rss hub when searching online for channels there was an error there too, now all works fine without doing any changes.

It looks like a lot of people have this problem, me included, and I hope that they will fix that soon, because it is very annoying.

i could log in to youtube normally on my original German rom, than i flashed wwe rom and since than i get the connection error every time

Hi ho, I have this annoying problem also

I buyed one today, and got the same problem, here in germany as well. So this should be a problem with youtube. Maybe they've changed the logingateway er sth. else.
Just keep trying until it works.

Same here maybe it has something to do with this YouTube to begin reinforcing restricted API access on Dec. 2 althought it says Dec 2nd it's strange how all of a sudden we cant log in

That article talks about video scraping, which obviously has nothing to do with this issue. I can't believe that a company like HTC just threw something together and hoped it worked. It must be relying on public API calls that are, for whatever youtubey type reason, failing.

I've never been able to login to the Sense youtube integration service. Facebook and Twitter works fine.
If anyone has a fix for this, I would really appreciate knowing about it

As far as I can tell, this is a YouTube problem - not a problem with our phones/software. I only say this because sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. It doesn't matter what connection type I have (2G, 3G, HSPA, WiFi), it simply will not work, and then all of a sudden, maybe a couple of days later, it will.
I think the YouTube servers that the app connects to are just a bit shoddy, to be honest. Maybe they weren't expecting the traffic that's been generated by adding this functionality into a very popular mobile UI (don't forget that it's not just the HD2 that has this relatively new functionality now).
I don't know this for a fact. I just VERY strongly believe it.

[INFO] Unable to access Google services over 3G

I had a unique problem that is now solved and I wanted to share my experience in case anyone else can benefit from it. I was unable to access any Google services over 3G cellular internet, but over WiFi it worked just fine.
I was also able to browse the web over cellular. My EVO is NAND unlocked and been running Fresh's ROM and also CyanogenMod.
Since I first noticed this with Android Market I tried clearing data for it and that didn't work. I also noticed Google Voice couldn't send/receive messages, so tried that as well and could not reinstall as AM wasn't working.
I restored a backup I had made days earlier and had the same results. I tried clearing cache/dalvik cache/etc. still no joy. I tried installing fresh after clearing data/cache/etc. etc. and it still did not change anything.
Finally I called Sprint and they instructed me to do the following:
Enter ##3282## into the phone keypad, select Edit.
Enter a password the tech gave me.
Go to Data -> Press Menu -> Press "Restore". Allow the phone to reboot.
It will go through a lot of different things -- ie: PRL update, firmware update, resetting your "profile" (in settings/update), etc.
It did not work after all of these things so he said he would reset all the "stuff on their end" and after he was finished it worked. I asked and he assured me it had nothing to do with any configuration on my phone. When I asked him to describe what it was he did to fix it, he said he "switched the provider/internet signature" which is on their end. This finally resolved the issue.
So, if you have these same exact symptoms -- you may benefit calling Sprint FIRST before wasting your time trying all those things that I did.

The problem that I am having is GTalk will hang at trying to connect for a very lengthy time. It works over WiFi just fine but over 3G or 4G it's sporadic. And when GTalk isn't connecting the market won't be able to complete a download either.
If it persists I'll give Sprint a call.

Well... you can certainly try and troubleshoot via your phone. Steps I tried with mine:
- Restarting the phone (lol)
- Clearing specific app data (settings -> applications)
- Reinstalling apps (couldn't do this because related to Market and did not have APKs)
- Clearing Dalvik cache/cache
- Clearing app data
- Restoring a previous backup
- Wiping and reinstalling the ROM
- Trying a different ROM or ROM version
I'm sure there's another one or two but a Sprint call doesn't typically cause you to lose any data on your phone. Hope you get your issue resolved.

I've been having this issue sporadically ever since I switched from the Hero to the Evo about two weeks ago, and it's very frustrating! After trying to sign in to google talk (or cancelling and redownloading an app download) 10-20 times... it usually starts to work. Connecting to a wifi network always resolves the issue immediately.
I called sprint, and after trying most of the steps you have posted, the best they could do is ask me to call google at 650-253-0000, which I will try later.
I mentioned the "switch the provider/internet signature" idea to the initial rep that I spoke to as well as the "escalation rep" I was transferred to, and they had no idea what I was talking about
aikeru , have you experienced the problem again since Sprint's "fix" was applied?

Hmmmm... I haven't experienced the problem anymore. That does sound frustrating. I got the rep to clarify more than once that it was a fix on their end and not on my phone. It's odd, but it's specifically Google services that I had problems with (ie: market, voice, talk, etc.) and not internet and they worked fine over WiFi.
You may just have to keep trying with someone else who is a little "smarter" or follow through the script until they get to that point. I wish I knew more technical details but that is all I recall them saying, really.

I'm having the exact same issue as the first poster. I can't connect to Google services when using 3g. WiFi and 4g works fine. This started after I did a nandroid restore yesterday. I did another nandroid restore of an older know good backup and it did the same thing. I called Sprint and they said they did a reset on my phone and still the same thing. The tech also said she had another caller just before me with the same issue that they were not able to fix.
I'm am still using the stock HTC Rom (3.29) with it rooted with Unrevoked.

So, from your description I've been having the same very problem. Like a couple of people, I had to call sprint a couple of time until they got me to a "senior" tech support. Until, then, they kept on telling me: go to google, call google, email the app developers.... bs bs bs... So, While on the phone with one of their "senior level tech support" (silly that they will insist for a half an hour on the phone with you before they pass you on to these senior techs... even sillier that there is such a division... if they are techs, they all should be trained to deal with these problems.. but anyway).
So the Senior Tech guy told me that they were aware of the problem, that it was indeed on their end and that they they were working on it....
(the first tech to answer the phone should know something like that as opposed to spending 30 mins of my time (each time I call) with "go to the app developers.... all 20 of them, it's their problem").
So, now, I'm supposed to wait until it's working again. Nothing I can do until they have it fixed on their network.
The apps that are not working for me are Market (on and off), Talk, google voice, news rob, Places Directory, Madison Bus, and a few others that use some kind of google service in part or in full, except google maps.
I'm on an Epic 4G, stock rom, up to date, and rooted. And this problem has persisted for 3 days now, in the Madison, WI area (3G/ no 4G).
Hope this clarifies a bit.

Great Read....

Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server

i've just been changing a few icons on my home scree. everything has been running great, had no problems whatsoever until i tried to access the market this afternoon.
the error im getting is that i need to set up or sign into my gmail account, so i go ahead and chose sign in, then it says:
"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server.
This could be a temporary problem or your SIM card may not be provisioned
for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care."
ive searched all day on the net for a fix, tried unmounting the sd card, removing the sim, signing in via youtube, but nothing works.
what i have noticed is that, in the accounts settings, my gmail address is missing (samsung & regular email accounts are still there).
now, i must say that while i have been messing around with stock icons, i havent touched anything google related, or indeed deleted any apk's.
the last option open to me is a hard reset, which i want to avoid like the plague after weeks of customising my phone, even titanium restore didnt fix it
does anyone have anymore ideas what i could do?
thanks

i've had an idea, but will it work?
if i create the same account on my girlfriends galaxy ace, would i be able to transfer those account settings to my phone? if so, where are they located

i've just noticed as well, that i'm not getting any emails from my other accounts either
please....really need some help here guys

You could always re-flash your firmware to get the gmail icon and all the other settings back.I know you said you don't want to but if its disappeared then its a good way to get it back at least and with a nandroid and /or titaniun back-up its not that much work to put all your settings back.

ok, reflashing the firmware didnt work. the problem is definitely with servers as i cant add any more email accounts, all are getting server errors.
so....i ask this, what file holds this information? and if i can copy this from my girlfriends phone, will it work?
in fact, does anyone know ALL of the google apk's that should be installed, i have a feeling one is missing/corrupted

surely someone on here must know the answer to my last post??

I was having data issues with many different modems on my carrier but found today that KE7 modem solved my problem with solid download/upload speeds. worth a shot.

Have you frozen something or deleted something with titanium that you shouldn't have?
Try calling your operater to check if you have connection problems or not.After all the warning did say to call.The fact that it just happened suddenly is quite surprising and re-flashing should have put back everything that was missing.

PlanetP,
I actually have a similar problem, and I see that you are also using China Unicom. I arrived in Kunming from Hong Kong last Sunday, and ever since Wednesday, Gmail suddenly stopped syncing, and Market does work. Market gives me the "no connection" thing. The weird thing is everything worked for two-three days after arriving in Kunming.
I've restored to previous nandroid backups, I've reflashed a fresh LeoMar Revolution rom (with everything wiped), and still cannot sign into my Google account..
My internet (via prepaid China Unicom data sim) and hotmail still works, XDA app, engadget all works..
I am going back to HK tomorrow, I will then find out if this is a China thing, or else...

Connection Error
I have been accessing gmail/market/maps on China mobile for past 3 months ... but for last couple of days I am getting Error connecting to server message... does it something to do with China mobile connection or something to with the setting... I have wiped the mobile couple of times and installed new rom also. Even then it is not solved? any soultion

Seems like this is a problem on both networks just recently, for me, it was just four days ago.
I have been in and out of china the past three months with my s2 without problems. I wonder why we are all met with this problem.
Now that you brought it up, google maps doesn't work either. it seems to detect my location, the arrow swivels around, but the map its not displayed, just the grid.
I really hope this is a temporary thing...

I've recently (2 days ago actually) upgraded my firmware to 2.3.5 (from 2.3.3) and I'm getting the same connection error when trying to add a google account. I'm pretty sure this is related to the china firewall as all the google services work correctly ever since the day I bought the phone.
In fact, I have tried all the alternatives that you can think of: using wifi to add google account does not work, using youtube to add account does not work, using market enabler to fake my sim card provider does not work, factory reset does not work, downgraded back to my original 2.3.3 firmware does not work. The only plausible option left now is to try and add a L2TP VPN account to my phone. If this happens to work (which I'm pretty sure should) then it means china has resumed blocking all the google mobile services.
I'll keep you guys updated in a few days once I find a good vpn service provider.
UPDATE: I have got a reliable vpn service going on and am now able to connect to google services and sign in to my account. Note that you'll need to take out your unicom sim card and connect to wifi+vpn to have this work. If you have a sim card inserted, you'll have to try the youtube trick with vpn connected.
So I have proved that this is, in fact, related tol china blocking access to all the google mobile ports.

So the china firewall has blocked google mobile services before?
I never knew this since I recently switched from a hk blackberry with a roaming plan in china the past three years when I traveled in and out of china.
Do you think it has to do with this weeks anniversary?

Got the same problem after have bought a GS2 from Hong Kong.
Try Wifi/China Mobile internet but nothing works was wondering if it didnt come from my rom...

Same problem, wish I'd seen this thread early, as I 've just wiped my phone, lost **** loads of data re-installing firmware, stock rom etc, re-setting, sim card in/out, cannot try the YouTube Trick as China won't allow You Tube and still can't add the google accoutn as it says it can't establish a reliable connection.
Jesus, what the feck is going on ?, anybody got any information on whether this is actually just China ?
This was working fine up until a few days ago, I have been in Guangzhou for past 2 years, and had Galaxy S2 working fine here for last 6 months, and now this ?

Wow, that sucks for you, I feel for ya, I have since rooted my phone so I can make bootable back ups.
I am heading back to hong kong tonight, so I will update you guys tonight when I get out of the firewall.
When did this problem start happening for you guys?

Hi Chief,
For me 3 days ago, it really is a complete pain in the A$%e...
At first I thought my Data Plan had been cancelled with China Telecom, but even after re-booting, hard reset without sim and just connecting to the WiFi in the company which is obviously Chinese, it still will not add the Google Account so no GMAIL or Market Place anymore...
Still trying to see what else is shafted, but also my phone looks naff now as I cannot re-download Go Launcher EX from Market Place as cannot get on it...

That is around the same time as mine, I think I lost connection last wednesday. I hope this isn't forever, especially for you guys that are in china long term.
Had this happened before? I wonder if this is across all phones with android platform.

Market stuck "Downloading"

Hi, I just got a brand new Xperia Play and am loving it so far, aside from one infuriating issue.
When I'm on WIFI I simply cannot download anything from the market, I've been messing with this for the past 2 hours, things I've tried:
Clearing app cache of several apps related to downloading
Toggling WIFI / 3G
Restarting phone
Updating to latest firmware
Reset to factory settings
Play with router wireless settings
Reinstall router firmware
The only thing that did something is clearing the cache of the download manager, after I did that I was able to install one thing from the market. But it only worked once, it's not working anymore.
I'm also unable to play youtube video's when using wifi.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? My phone is brand new, so it can't be something I did with it.
Also, up till today I had an HTC Magic, which did not have the problem on the same wireless network. It did have occasional "download starting" hiccups, but nothing like this.
Any advice?
Thanks!
Edit: Solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17359553&postcount=4
Edit2: False alarm, still not working.. seems to come and go

You have the weirdest problem.. Did you check your router to see if it's generating enough ip addresses for all your wireless devices?
What is the distance between you and your router and what kind of router is it? I believe the play has a weaker wifi radio, so it might be dcing too often to stream and download.. Try standing closer to the router to see if there is a difference first.

I'm right next to the router and the web interface shows a full signal, so it can't be that. I can also see in the web interface that an ip address was assigned.
I've tried setting the phone as the DMZ and disabling the router firewall. No luck with that either.
I also tried upgrading my router firmware from Tomato to DD-WRT and doing a factory reset, but again .. no luck.
I'm running out of ideas, it seems the problem originates from Android and not my router, but I can't think of anything else I could try. Could it be an issue with the Android network in my location?

Omfg.. 3/4 hours later I finally got it, and this one wasn't suggested anywhere else so hopefully this will help some others in the future.
I had to go into wireless settings on my phone, click menu, go to advanced and then manually configure the network connection. Make sure your router has reserved an ip for you and use that one, otherwise you might end up trying to use one that is already in use.
After that it all seems to be working for me (so far). Fingers crossed that it won't stop working again.

Yea you couldn't find the answer anywhere else because it seemed like it was an isolated incident. Gratz for figuring it out though.

Next day, working fine in the morning. Couple hours later and it's back to getting stuck on "Downloading". Tried toggling static ip with no luck.
God this is incredibly annoying. I'm guessing it'll magically start working again at some point, and then stop working again later.
From what I've found through google this bug has been around since the very first version and not a single solution has been offered by google. Seriously this is ridiculous

Hi,
I'm having exactly the same issues.... Normal browsing, etc works fine on WIFI but market just wont work on WIFI.
I dont even see the device hitting my router when I try to download thru the market. Other network connections are seen by my router.
I wonder if it might be linked to the the fact that I'm running a UK rom on my device. When I'm using my data connection off Rogers, it actually does a RMNET to the British government... So we are seen as downloading from the UK.. Just an idea...
It's annoying as hell....

I was going to say download speedtest.net app when you can and see what it yields... but I see you've got it figured out. Nice!

Interesting, so you're saying that google somehow classifies us as UK users, which causes problems when switching to WIFI, which is not classified as a UK connection?
It would make sense, seeing as it seems to start working again after a while.. which could mean that whatever info google is caching on us is expired and it finally adopts the WIFI connection info.
Still, I have doubts about that.. I mean wouldn't a LOT more Rogers users be complaining about this?

The only persons that would be complaining are people like us running UK roms but our WIFI is coming from a canadian provider. In my case Videotron.
So when i<m using 3g data, i'm seen as coming from the UK because of the RMNET connection and when using WIFI i'm seen as Canadian... with a uk rom.
I've read that the market DOES have regions... might not be 100% correct on that but it might be part of my issue.
Mine BTW, never works anymore even after clearing cache, FC the market, etc...

lol i got the opposite problem i have trouble downloading stuff from the market using 3g but works perfect using wifi
not really an issue since im not an app whore

Its not a issue on play all phones has that. Simply log in to your Talk app then try again. (launch Gtalk app and login)

Thanks, but i had already tried that.
Reinstalled the UK rom yesterday, and even after a clean install market still doesnt work on WIFI even tho my WIFI works for browsing, accessing my computer thru RDP, etc.

This only works for some people.
My market has been working for a day now (I didn't do anything to fix it), I'm expecting it to stop working any moment. Fingers crossed.
Edit: Aaand there we go.. stopped working again. Sigh.

Got the same issue both on my Nexus S (Videotron) and (which is strange), on My Motorola Xoom Tablet which only has wifi, no 3g !!
Edit: If I connect my tablet thru my cell phone (wifi tethering) I have no problem with market

ok so me and mobidoy are both on Videotron...
Naatan I see you are in quebec... Videotron also?
Starting to believe it migh be an issue with them

hey
im in videotron too and since 4 days i cant watch youtube on youtube app and my download on market stay stuck in green bar!! i have a toshiba thrive android 3.1!!!!!
when i connect with a 3g router or on the wi fi in my city everything work again
so it clear that videotron is the problem!!!!

Had the same problems
First time hard reset fixed it.
Second time by magic, sorry. I was about to send the phone to repairs
I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?

I've been having the exact same problem as you and can't seem to find a way to solve this. I just purchased a Galaxy Tab 10.1, WIFI only, and at home nothing will download from the Android market. It just gets stuck. Youtube videos also dont work via the app.I tried it out at a friends and everything worked flawlessly.
At home, I also have Videotron internet. I just called them, and tried to explain to their customer service but obviously they were quick to blame it on anything else they could. They said they did not block any ports either.
I read a thread about some vodafone users in the UK having a similar problem than us:
Edit: It wont let me post an external link because I'm a new user, but the post is on androidforums.com and is titled "ANDROID MARKET download/update problem via WiFi"
It seems their problem was fixed after calling Vodafone.
I'm also inclined to point fingers at Videotron since its odd we are all customers of theirs.

Just called Videotron technical support, they have an open ticket about it since yesterday morning and are actualy working on the issue !! There is hope !!
