Network Connection Error?? - Epic 4G General

I just started getting this error today, right after I unlock the screen to do whatever. It says Network Connection Error, and the options are retry, or cancel. I hit retry and everything seems to work just fine, never hit cancel yet. This phone is stock as the day I got it last week, nothing at all downloaded or running in the background, and no widgets loaded. Only thing running is 3g. Only thing on the home screen is gmail, voicemail, calendar, running programs, and the 4 standard bottom ones(phone, contacts, messaging, apps). All other screens are empty. Any suggestions since Sprint does not have a clue and my 30 days are up as of yesterday to get a different model phone? I gave up my BB Bold for this one the last day of my 30 days.

I am running STOCK and just rooted but did almost nothing else besides delete bloatware and add SU/Spare Parts and I am getting that today too. I would guess it has to do with Sprint or something similar (if you want to get excited pretend it has to do with the update ) but I haven't been able to sign into FB, maybe it's just Facebook that has the error? Or am I the only one not being able to sign into FB?
BTW, I can use the mobile app, it's just not syncing with TW/contacts.

That is very popular. I get those all the time. Nothing to worry bout.

I hope not that often...last time I remember this was on some custom ROM's the Hero glitched FB a few times in sense. If TW is glitching their FB log-in why are they touting not releasing it due to bugs!? lol.

Saw that you edited this, I only had my FB stuff not work, my e-mail came in fine, a lot worked fine.
Did you do anything to the phone or is it completely stock??
I would think it might be something faulty if it's the phone or the connection I don't know. I never had my screens empty....widgets have issues loading when you aren't connected, usually a network error, but you mean widgets are gone?? I don't know why your widgets would disappear other than something more severe, the rest can be explained due to a network connection.
I hope this helped, I don't know your post was a little confusing, if you just mean that it was stock and was not working and you had to hit retry, maybe your signal is weak and it disconnected? I don't know, it's kind of confusing, but being stock it shouldn't be anything huge...

That only happens to me when i have no service and i try to access the market. Turn off 3g, 4g, and wifi, and try to use the market. It comes up with that. My guess is its your market trying to do something before you get good service.

Well its not only the market. I turned my 3g off before and whatever is synced when the phone was off gave me that network connection. Error as well

Facebook has updated their app in the market.
I was getting the same error.
Install the latest update. It includes chat.

Well since I can't post outside links(won't let me multi quote), I have to do this the retarded way...
@musclehead84...Why do we get them, and what is the fix? What causes it?
@pipskicks...completely stock
@zanderman112..yes, that's the error

skype crashes non stop!

Even with nothing else running, skype opens, logs on, then just crashes right down? anybody else have this?
all I have installed so far is tomotom 5 and total commander.
same problem here.. what version are you running?
I noticed more crashes in 1.20 (beta) from the forums
boh versions 1.1 and 1.2 beta xscale
now its working ok, uninstalled the beta and did a soft reset b4 reinstalling 1.1. this sucks
I tt5
voice command 1.5
total commander installed
the 1.1 has started crashing now too. damn. you thought these monkeys could have checked this out first?
These maybe some of the causes
Skype would NOT open when many applications running in the background. Closing them all it then opened OK,
ACTIVE SYNC id the biggest criminal, it will not run with this in the background.
Close AS4 and SKYPE opens up.
This is now a "Known Problem" on the Imate site, as well as unstable WIFI, which they claim to have fixed, though they don't tell us what the fix is...
Hi,
Here is the update radio stack .
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/Bluetooth 1.03.01/
What is this stack for?
This is a Blue tooth?Will it fix the Skype issue? Because I killed myself getting BT to work with Tomtom, would hate to lose that, also, are there any update instructions?
Skype issues...
I have another skype related issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=28257&highlight=
any suggestions?
ActiveSync conflicts with skype
It took a while to work out, but here it is: Skype works fine as long ActiveSync is not on. In the old machines, AS would kick in and appear in the memory only after you sync'd. Here it comes up automatically, whether you sync or not. In fact, you should see Active sync running in the background virtually always.
Clicking on the memory you'll see its always on, you press stop, and Skype works for 5-10 minutes, until AS turns tiself back on.
Any fixes for this in the registry?
In my case, Skype does not really crash, it simply does not open up after minimised. However the application is actually operating correctly in the background (I can still receive calls), only the links in the Start menu and Programs menu stop working.
I found that you can bring back the application by going into the Settings --> Memory --> Running Programs and then activate the application from there. Also, if you have an ongoing call and tap on the phone icon on top of the screen, the application is displayed correctly. Reception of a call also 'wakes' Skype up.
If you want to reduce ActiveSync activity you can reduce the update period in Programs-->ActiveSync-->Menu-->Schedule (e.g. peak and non peak hours).
Do you have a JasJar
I don't have a 'schedule' option oin the Jasjar??? Do you? I have 'connections' which is usb + speeds. or 'settings' which is as settings for mail notes, etc

ActiveSync won't show the Schedule menu unless you have an Exchange Server configured for email. The schedule is for periodically checking the server (default 10 minutes).
To Mikey:
Nabil has managed to install a working upgrade of Activesync 4.1. I wonder if that is worth trying to resolve your conflict with Skype & ActiveSync. It's worth a shot, that is if you havent already tried it.

has anyone noticed the size difference between the skype cab you get off skypes site compared to the one in the extended rom,
site = 3.79mb
rom = 4.60mb
anyone used the sites one yet??
im about to load it up as i got rid of skype soon as i got me jasjar out of the box. i'll post results shortly
well, installed and running from the site (the smaller cab), with loads of other apps including activesync, wifi, PIE, contacts, etc, havent got any contacts on there yet tho, so cant really tell if its meant to be having problems yet but it appears to be working absolutly fine
about page states version 1.1.0.6
whats the roms installation version?
the real culprit was, 100% sure, VC1.5
I did several hard reset and re-installs. competition for title of Skype Killer was down to SPB3 and MS VC1.5. well, MS Voice Command 1.5 caused the active sync to kick in and Skype to bug and only a hard reset got rid of it.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

So, I think we can all agree that 2.1 has it's share of crazy little bugs. Some more serious than others, but I'm not here to have a go at Google. I'm more interested in seeing some of the weird little issues that pop up now and then, that don't annoy you too much and can normally be solved by just rebooting the phone. Some people seem to be getting very worked up about some of these small bugs, when most of them can be solved with a restart. These phones are starting to become more and more like our PCs, and it's harder and harder for Google to make Android 100% bug free, so at least there aren't all that many apocalyptically bad issues.
Here's my first submission - installed a few apps today, opened up the app drawer and for unknown reasons the names of the new apps were all shifted to the right as shown. Rebooted. Fixed.

Any other weird glitches?
I had exactly the same bug, but a restart fixed it =)
Agreed.
I think we need to think of these devices as small pc's that can also make phonecalls.
Lets be honest they do more on the the technical side now than just a phone.
And........ when was the last time you owned a PC that NEVER had bugs or needed rebooting now and again, MS are still releasing bugfixes day after day for Windows/Office....etc
They're not perfect, but god damn they're good.
That problem with the names being shifted can also be fixed by changing language to something else (Settings>Language & Keyboard Settings>Select Locale) then changing it back. I choose English UK then back to English US. Not sure what causes the bug or why changing languages fixes it, but getting same result with a little less effort isn't too bad in my book.
Sometimes it will show the wrong contact sending me a text message on the notification bar.
I.E. "Vanessa" sends me a text message, but the notification bar will say "Shaniqua," until I click on it.
A computer is what these devices are, they just have the added functionality of a phone.
I agree, there are man little bugs, that I'm sure will be worked out (mostly) eventually. Just the other day, I was in a Gtalk chat, when I received an SMS. I switched to the SMS window, and the conversation was correct, but the persons name was still the same as in Gtalk. Mind boggling for a few seconds. After I backed out of the screen and went back in, it was fine.
The audio notifications constantly malfunction. The vibrator always works, it's just the sound often doesn't accompany it as it's supposed to.
When I plug the headphone jack into the phone, it often automatically plays the music player - while I"m opening Pandora.
If I open Gallery soon after taking a photo, the newest photo(s) will often times not be there. Sometimes they fly in after a few seconds, other times, they don't show up until I go back to camera, or even take another photo.
Some interesting bugs on this build...but all part of the fun of being an early adopter. I still love this phone...I mean computer.

do you use sms popup by any chance? i have this issue too
I sell cell phone for a living. When I have people come in saying their phone did this or that, yada yada yada, I explain to them it is a computer just the same as their PC is a computer, and from time to time it is going to glitch. That usually gets through most peoples skulls, no matter how thick, and they come to understand that having to power cycle every once in a while is not a defect, it is just the nature, especially when it comes to smart phones.
And now that we are seeing the first "super" phones, as I like to call them, the Nexus One, HD2, and so forth this is only going to become a bigger issue people need to recognize. That "phone" you use more often to surf the web and play music, yeah, it isn't a Nokia 6010, it is a 1ghz computer with a touch screen that happens to make phone calls.

SMS Fail

I can't send SMS messages... All was working fine till about 15 minutes ago.
Every time i try to send a msg (tried diff numbers to test), it just says "sms failed" or something.
I can recieve SMS's and make phone calls.
This is really frustrating T_T
I wonder if any apps are the problem
However, the last thing I remember doing before it failed was testing out samsungs "Days" and "Feeds and Updates" widgets.
ps: I've tried rebooting a bunch of times, removing widgets etc.

I take it you have tried removing the battery?
As to reinstalling the App, have a look at this thread. It lists all the Apps on the Galaxy S.
If you can find the one you need (look at page 2 where a member has labelled them all) you may be able to sort it out by re-installing.
thanks for the help mate, unfortunately still no good.
I didn't remove any core apps, however i do have root.
Also, just factory reset the phone and still no good.
Im tempted to try flashing a new firmware...
I hope its not some problem with my provider or simcard.. that's hard to isolate though...

Have to say if you've factory reset then it does indeed point to the telco or card.
If you don't have another SIM card to hand why not take it down to your telco provider and ask them to slip one in and see if a different SIM card would work.
Either that or ask one of your mates if they could temporary let you use their card just to see if you can send messages from their account.
Good idea. I'll see if i can borrow someones simcard.
Also, I just flashed JFB firmware, and the situation is the same (sms not sending).

If it's still the same after flashing then yes, it points towards the SIM card.
Either that or your on a plan that restricts you sending when you go over your limit.
Wish you well finding another.
YAY FIXED!!!
I was googling it up and found some info on SMSC numbers for optus, however I couldn't figure out how to change the SMSC number on the phone.
Lucky when I called up optus customer support, it was super quickly resolved.
Messaging > Menu touch button > Settings > Message centre
Very happy, although I don't know how the problem occured in the first place... :S
(I understand that settings are erasing during firmware update, but I was using stock firmware when the problem started)

AT&T MMS woes

Ok, so this is really annoying and any help would be appreciated. I am spending the summer in a place where there is no 3G (i know right...) and only edge. Problem is that whenever i try and send a picture it will just sit on sending and nothing will ever happen (besides my battery dying...). I can't seem to get pictures either. The weird thing is that i traveled to somewhere with 3G today (Nashville, TN) and the pictures still didn't send. Now i know Edge is super slow, so i tried sending a small picture, 290 x 343 @ 40KB and that wouldn't send either, so file size is not the problem. Also i have tried both of these APNs, XDA and Reddit with no luck. Please don't be useless and recommend checking my APN settings because i have already done that multiple times unless you have a different one that works. I am on a postpaid ATT iPhone 5 (LTE) plan. Thank you for any useful replies. Possibly throw some BTC to whoever helps me resolve this.
Edit: Also I would like to make clear that data works while on edge, just not MMS.
First, you are on the wrong plan. You should be on the non iPhone, non LTE smartphone plan. I'm not sure if that is making a difference, but second, did you try the apns I posted in that xda thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40899440
A) There is nothing wrong with being on an LTE plan, that's how so many people got their LTE to work. Secondly the iPhone portion should be find since the data works, it's the MMS that doesn't and MMS is a standard. I will try those APN settings and report back shortly.
EDIT: Tried your APN settings, same thing, stuck on sending since i replied to your post.

I pretty much figured that because the plans should be backward compatible. It may not make difference which plan you have, but AT&T sure makes a big deal about it. If those apns didn't work for you, then it is unlikely you have an apn issue. MMS is not hard to get working. You can use the two apn setup I provided or one of the single apns and as long as you have MMS in the apn type, it should work. Just make sure you are entering EXACTLY as it should be, or it will not work. Idk if AT&T will assist you since you have an unsupported device, but if you call them, the first thing they are gonna do is switch your plan. Are you rooted or not? Have you tried a factory reset.
Yes and yes, the problem arose when i arrived in this place with Edge only, previously my phone had never seen Edge. Nothing will send on edge, and when i traveled to Nashville yesterday the items still didn't send nor did any new ones even though i was connected to 3G. I doubt it is an APN problem since it was working (somewhat) fine in SLC.
Ok so something weird, it seems the problem is with my texting app. Lightflow will flash the LED signalling I received an MMS, and i will get a notification in the web portal for mighty text saying the same thing, but from my phone nothing is shown. Any ideas? Currently reflashing the latest version of PA Gapps.
Just curious, did you "delete / cancel" the stuck MMS messages, before trying to send new ones?
I have seen issues with this in the past.

Yes, i deleted the previous messages before attempting to send again.
So i reflashed gapps and all the messages people tried to send me showed up with a button to download the content, but every time I click on it it fails. Pictures still won't send as well. Also there is a new icon to the right of "sending".

Just reflashed stock and pictures seem to be sending fine, not sure though yet, and haven't been able to get anyone to send me one yet, this is with the stock APN settings. Gonna change to the ones listed here (the ones i was using) and we will see how that goes. And yes this thread will be bumped all to hell until this is resolved.
Flashed stock, and changed APN settings to the ones i was previously using, and MMS is fully functional now. Though this we have concluded that the problem MIGHT lie with PA. Going to attempt a completely clean flash of PA and i will report the results.

How can I remove the Covid-19 notifications that mysteriously appeared on my phone!?!

Running XXXNoLimits, OOS 10.3, Elemental X kernal
Did not update anything this week. Now, under settings-google there is "covid-19 notifications". Had to have been either carrier pushed or a google back door. I don't even have a google account on my phone!
Shows "on/1app" but when I push it the screen just goes dark until I hit back.
Titanium and App ops can't find it.
I keep bluetooth off and only turn location on when I need Magic Earth Maps, then turn it back off, however, the pisses me the f**k off that it has been loaded on my phone.
I have a Samsug Tab running Lineage and it is not there, but the tab is wifi only. Tried Lineage 3 times on my phone and can not get Signal messenger to work and that is a deal breaker for me.
Anyway, how do we get rid it this??
Is this the screen you are referring to, but with different info populating it?

I don't have any Covid apps installed so for me there are no settings to turn on or off; this form of contact tracing is not yet available where I live.
The big question is what app on your phone is being detected as a contact tracing app.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk
How do the notifications look like? Regular notifications? Perhaps take a screenshot when you see another one. You should be able to trace which app (or system element) is spewing out these nuisances by long pressing the notification and take more actions by tapping the gear icon top right...
@franken..... I actually don't get to that screen, but that is the right place. Checked a another Android and that is the screen it goes to, mine just goes black.
@timmmmm...haven't gotten any notifications as I don't have any covd apps.
Settings does, however show "on/1 app". I am guessing a glitch since I have leashed google w xxx, Titanium, and App Opps.
I have not done the last system update. Don't have a google account, but do have a google Fi sim card since I live overseas and it works here.
I read google pushed this out as a new setting, for those that download covid apps, blah, blah, blah.......but HOW?
And how do we get rid of it. Article I read on a UK new site said "usage and diagnostics" is where you can turn it off and on, my phone was and is set to off, but I still wanna get rid of it.
That's part of a Google Play Services update, you can't remove it.
If you don't opt-in explicitly, it should not have any effect.
Do you really want to trust that? I personally wouldnt trust anything said or done at this point. For sometime my phone's been acting weird. Note 9 completely stock. But my g7 power rooted since day one with a global variant still runs like a charm. I'd rather just remove it or better yet permanently disabled it through some exploit.

What exactly do you think the phone is doing with that Covid-19 notification setting without an app to drive it? Contact tracer apps need to plug into the local health authority, and only a few places in the US are doing it because people are so suspicious of big tech. I would gladly participate but it's not available in my area.

The only way to get rid of it is to delete Google Play Services. That's how they snuck it in. On Android Pie it's simple. Just debloat via ADB using pm list packages prompt and voila! it's gone. On Android 10 it works the same EXCEPT none of the google apps, firefox, instacart, or anything like that will WORK. So you can de-google all you want - they've baked it into everything. It's something I'm struggling with now since I was forced to upgrade.
