[Q]Network connectivity & Dexter's mod 1.41 - A7 General

Hello,
I would have posted this under the development posts but the forum won't allow me to...grrrr.
Anyway, I am using Dexter's mod 1.41 with the display settings fix also installed. Everything works great.
Except...I keep getting network errors whenever I try to download an app from the official marketplace, I also get them when sync'ing my dropbox, trying to download from the appoke apps store, signing into twitter, and a number of other apps. My browser works fine. Sometimes I can reboot and it starts working fine and then a few hours later I start getting the "network connection error has occurred" message from various apps again.
I did try reinstalling 1.41 & doing a complete wipe/restore after & still had the same problem eventually. It worked fine for awhile as I was able to go to the marketplace and download all of my apps again.
Anyway any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

i might ask if your network problems occur after the tablet was recently asleep. it seems, at least latest stock, that the power profile is set to sleep wifi/network connections when the display is off.
you might want to wait 5-10 seconds after waking up, or i suggest putting the power control widget on your homescreen and tapping the wifi button twice to re establish your network connection if you're getting network errors.
worked for me when i had download/network errors.

Yeah Forgot to mention that, but no its random when it starts happening. But definitely not just when it has been just woken up.
Nevertheless I am going to try what you suggested. I couldn't at the time when I wrote the post as it wasn't working. I turned it off and removed the SD Card, mounted it over on my PC, then copied your recent ROM update as well as Elocity's most recent firmware update, put the SD card back in, tried to reboot into recovery mode but for some reason it went into a normal boot. When I unlocked it, for some reason was asking me to sign into Google just as if I has flashed it but I definitely didnt. I've done that a bunch of time, this was definitely a normal reboot with dexter's 1.41 mod still installed. I canceled out of the google login after waiting 10 min for it to connect to Google's servers. (it was connected to my wifi network or at least I had the icon with the bars indicating I was connected to wifi) When I got to the main screen it started working normally. I went onto the market and downloaded Angry Birds Rio. Plus there were a bunch of updates for my other apps. So it is almost acting like I was not previously signed in with my google account, except that I did not relogin since I canceled it before finishing. Also I dont imagine that Dropbox would have been affected as it has its own login. But that is working fine too once I re-logged in.
It does seem to be intermittent. If it were the "not connecting after coming out of sleep mode" issue wouldnt rebooting fix that when it happens? I try that everytime I get the network errors and it works maybe 25% of the time.
Thanks for the response!

Did the 1.41 install and three patches also. Display still FC all the time. other then that works OK!.

Market failing to install apps?

I'm seeing a fairly consistent problem where I click to install an App, and it gets hung in "Waiting to install". Eventually it just stops trying.
Everything else on the pad works great. I've had no slowness issues, nothing at all wrong with the pad -- just randomly applications don't install. I've installed installing things from the web market because they always work there.
Yeah, that happens to me too. Its annoying to say the least.
Clearing the Market cache usually fixes it for me, at least for a while.
it does happen sometimes, just try a few times and it will eventually install..
Same here, sux yo
Yeah happens to me all the time. Super lame. I just try multiple times.
Ditto. Very annoying. I had hoped 3.1 would have fixed this, but it didn't.
same here .. sometimes i would get connection failure and to 'retry' or 'cancel'
i would turn off wifi and back on and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. rebooting will make it work again but then the issue would occur at times. not all the time though.
or i would disconnct from my wifi and turn on wifi tethering on my phone and have it connect to their and market would load fine again. =/
happens to me too. I usually just back out to the previous screen and try to install it again.
I'm having the same problem. And sometimes pressing a button causes a switch to the recent app (like alt+tab on windows).
Make sure that Google Talk is running in the background and you are logged in. For some reason the Market and Talk are related and killing Talk will cause the Market to hang.
Happens to me too, and trying to install multiple times (while it usually works eventually) will also frequently result in the app not showing in Market's "My Apps" section once installed, or showing but not being able to be uninstalled from Market.
The workaround I've found that so far works 100% of the time is to power the tablet off completely when an app hangs up installing, then restart the tablet and enter market again. The app will then immediately and quickly install without issues.

yea that usually works for me too but kinda annoying to have to keep rebooting just to get the market working. seems like the market will lose connection if the tablet is idle for a certain amount of time even though i have the wifi disconnect policy set to never. and even though market will have connection issue, i can browse the internet and everything perfectly fine when leaving hte tablet idle. hope this gets fix in 3.2!

XOOM won't connect to google...

My wifi Xoom, using EOS 155, hasnt been able to connect to google's servers in several days. everything else works fine.... browsing, the amazon app store app, irc, etc. But the wifi icon won't turn blue, and when I try to goto the Andriod market it says it can't connect. gmail seems fine... just sent an email to another account and got the reply....
If i go into settings and look under accounts, everything that I have setup to sync says its doing it.... I just can't access the market and the wifi icon is grey.
This happens no matter where I'm at... my house, my friends and family, work, etc. So I know it can't be the network I'm connect to. I haven't made any changes to any settings in a while.... so unless something changed without me doing it....
I've power cycled it numerous times... both rebooting and turning it off completely and then back on again.
Anyone have any ideas what might be the problem???
Thanks
Wifi problem in previous EOS version?

Strange problem... been using EOS for months now and have not had a similar connection issue. Only problem I had connecting to Google site and Application store occurred when I move to Google 2-way authentication and had to setup the security properly.
Did you have this same problem using an earlier version of EOS? When upgrading to EOS 155 did you do a wipe or clean your dalvik and cache? I would try a full system wipe and reflash the ROM. Sometimes it is easier to redo it from scratch then track down a particular issue.
I've never had any issues with any version of EOS, and I've been using them since night 1. And I had 155 installed since it was released... and this issue just happened a week or two ago. So nothing should have changed on my xoom.... unless it was done by some application or something. (And I'm the only user of the device)
I've tried stopping and clearing the cache on the google play app.... which I found the suggestion on another site... but that didn't do anything.
I had this happen before, but it normally just required a rebooting of the tablet, and it would then connect again.
I wish there was something like on windows with the event viewer.... cause I have no idea what the problem is. The error message when I try to connect to the storeis RH-01.
I'm going to install EOS4... but I wanted to wait a day or three until they have a chance to find/correct any early bugs.
I've also been getting error messages about google+... which I never had before. I'll just be doing anything.... browsing, using tweetcaster, playing music, etc and a error msg about google+ pops up.
Could not figure out what the issue was.... I just installed EOS nightly 160.. and everything is back to normal. I don't know if it was a Xoom issue or EOS issue... esp. considering everything was working fine on the nightly I was on for weeks... then all the sudden it stopped.
Reinstalling all my apps...
Simple solution: reflash gapps package.
Lol it's really that simple, I had the same issues as well, but on CM roms.

I've had a similar issue.. but resolved it with simply removing/deleting the remembered networks and re connecting them. This could be an artifact of my network setup with both the router and a wireless extender being visible from my location.. and once in a while it seems to confuse the connected systems.
Of course if I learned to leave my working systems alone.. they might not 'break' so often. but it is just too much fun to play:silly:

Oh well... I should have just tried reflashing everything... but I figured I would move on to 4.2 soon anyway... which I like (4.2) but it's a bit laggy on my xoom compared to 155.
You have to make sure you flash the correct gapps version with the ROMs. 4.2 nightlies require the packages named as follows: gapps-jb-201301##-EOS-XOOM-ONLY.zip be flashed together at the same time. EOS ROM 155 gets flashed with gapps-jb-20120802-eos-signed.zip.

[Q] Wi-fi connectivity issues

After a recent snafu in trying to remove root from my Nexus 7 tablet and installing the 4.3 update I think there are issues with with it's ability to keep a constant wireless connection, Juice Defender be damned as way before root and even during root I was able to maintain a flawless connection although I think the issue may have arisen during my installation of a cracked google play store app.
This was a couple months ago though.
However I decided rooting wasn't worth it and wanted to update to the new 4.3, this is where the snafu occurs, unrooting wasn't a problem at all, nor was flashing stock recovery, but the process of installing 4.3 was since even performing the update in my settings wasn't working, it would download and my tablet would restart and try to apply the update but soon after it would error out and I had to perform a hard shut down.
After that it would boot like normal and there were no issues, other than the update failing to apply.
So I decided to try and apply the update manually and as it turns out, I was attempting to install the update for the mobile version of the tablet instead of the wi-fi only one that I have so it didn't install correctly and simply erased all data on my tablet except luckily for the devices fastboot mode.
Seeing that I installed the correct 4.3 factory image and this is where the wi-fi issues come into play (I wanted to explain in as much detail as I could that might shed light on my current wi-fi situation).
The tablet booted up seemingly normally, taking a bit longer than it should have to me and upon getting to the glowing X before the main screen it suddenly reset it's self and then booted up correctly; so I finished the set up process after linking my wi-fi up but while going through each app that uses wi-fi I started off with games like Happy Street and The Sims Freeplay which worked normally.
Then I got go my Bank of America app and it's the one app (besides the Play Store on occasion), that didn't work at all, instead it just timed out, there's a screenshot so you can verify for yourselves.
You can clearly see I do have an established connection but this is the only app that fails to work after the update, again besides the Play Store but I've removed root and the crack is no longer installed, not that it would work anyway without root access but it doesn't concern me as much since it'll connect after force closing the app and starting it again.
So that's my issue in detail, is there something that I messed up that's preventing the device from maintaining a connection? Or do I simply need to re-install the factory image to restore connections?
Hmm...I've been having some trouble with WiFi as well.
I was running CM10 and then installed the 4.3 factory image over that. That's where the problem started. Since then I've tried the 4.2 factory image, Ubuntu Touch, and I'm now back on CM10, but the issue remains that my WiFi seems to stop working even though the icon in the notification bar says that it's connected.

Well the weird thing is, is that every other app seems to work but that one where it just times out, I'm going to try just re-installing the update and see if that helps things.
Edit: After backing everything up I decided to re-install the 4.3 update and after downloading the Bank of America app it started up instantly, froze for a moment and allowed me to sign in.
I closed out of the app and tried again to check and after 3 attempts to sign in it worked each time, I think the re-installation did the trick.

Lot's of problems (mainly unable to install/update apps)

I'm having a bunch of problems, most of it seems to be related, but i'm not sure. I was having these problems in android 9, and they persisted after i made the update to 10.
The main problem is that I cannot update or install the apps from Google Play store reliably. The download gets stucked with 'Download pending' or somewhere between 90-99%. My connection is fine, no network problems whatsoever. The same problem happens in many wifi networks and in mobile connection. Sometimes, after rebooting the phone a lot of times, i can install 1 or 2 apps before getting stuck again.
I tried to force stop/wipe data from download manager, google play services, google play store and did not help. In fact, now is buggier than ever, and i got a permanent play store notification with a never ending progress bar saying "Concluindo a configuraĆ§Ć£o" (portuguese for finishing configuration).
Other minor issues:
a lot of times I do not get any messages/notifications until I unlock my phone. My whatsapp web stop working, then I unlock my phone and start to receive 4875389475 messages.
Sometimes google app notify me of some news, i click the notification and nothing happens. HOURS LATER, the news shows up in my screen when i'm doing something else.
The Google Calendar widget does not show the content on the home screen (keeps saying 'loading'), but if I open the app, it works ok (inside the app, not in the widget).
I can't sync time with my carrier (always worked on every phone). But time is correct, nonetheless
Anyone having problems like these? Any solution? I don't know more what to do =(
Try doing any one or all of these depending on if one fixes it over the other:
1. Boot into recovery mode (power + volume up + bixby buttons) and do a factory data reset. This will erase everything on the phone.
2. No dice? Find out your bootloader version and flash the stock firmware you're on with Odin. This will also erase everything on the phone.
3. Still nothing? Well then it's time to claim warranty!

Wifi stop working in sleep and after waking up

Hi, im having this problem for a while, and some other phones are showing this problem also (here)
in summary, phone connect to WiFi, works great, turn screen off, put phone down, and after a while, phone is now unreachable. can't connect to it if i have a ftp server on it for example, can't connect on whatsapp on the PC cause it need the phone connected to work, messages won't arrive, or arrive after 15 minutes of delay.
if i pick up the phone, unlock, WiFi does not work, it keep showing only the "up" arrow and no "download" arrow. can't connect to internet, can't connect to local PC (VNC for example) nothing works. after 30 seconds or so, it comes back, and internet works. sometimes it does not. disabling WiFi and enabling again, everything works fine. if put to sleep, everything start again.
the weird thing is, usually after update to a new version of MIUI (for example, the last 12.0.5.0 a few weeks ago) the problem goes away for a few days. always works great, every time, no problems. a few days later, the problem appears again.
tried everything i could find, no option helped, tried even disabling magisk/xposed, etc, to make sure no "mod" was causing it, nothing.
my only options now are formatting and starting from 0 or try another ROM, like LineageOS, but i'm trying to avoid cause i have tons of customized apps, bunch of banking apps, and everything works fine, except for this one problem.
any help appreciated!
PS: during the whole time, the wifi do not get "disconnected", it remains connected but not working. also tried different routers, no change. using only 2.4ghz.
I installed Lineage OS, the problem didn't show up anymore.
installed all the apps previously installed, everything still working fine for over a week.
I guess was just software related...
