No Google on TMO USA GPRS?

For some reason, I cant get to ANY google website when I am using GPRS/EDGE on the Tmobile USA network.
No Google Search, Gmail, Maps etc.. Nothing. Any other website works. When I try to access a google site, it locates, and then stalls on "opening". It happens in PIE, Opera, MiniMo.
When I use Wifi, I have no problems. It only doesnt work when using GPRS.
This is on the Tmobile USA network, with a vario and stock tmo rom (1.8.10.2)
WTF?

Try this link, does it work?
http://www.google.nl/pda

I have the exact same problem. It's very weird and VERY annoying.

Sorry, for some reason this double posted. Good way to start my posting here on this forum

I've had my Tmo MDA for a month now & never have gotten anymore than "page cannot be loaded" with google. WiFi works same as yours.
Dont know if it helps but..
* I can get to google using the phone as a modem for my laptop.
* If I use the MSN proxy (go to vista live beta, search for google, choose the mobile version) this works
* I wonder what other sites dont work but should
* rom is what the unit shipped with. Registry unchanged exept for bumping the cache in a few places for speed.
lastly, check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...ghlight=&sid=494a2df12b48a1e8fdca8ae0e7bfb752

I have the same problem. The thing is it worked for the first week or so. I bought my MDA the day it was available on Feb 21. Would T-Mobile have somehow blocked it a few weeks later? I will say I am running the Custom 2.17 ROM, but I have had this problem before and after the ROM upgrade.

Tried google.nl
I actually got to the google page, but searches dont work. Either does gmail, image search etc.. etc.. etc..
This is really annoying. I use gmail for all of my mail, and google for ALOT of stuff, without it. I am lost

I have had my KJam since November, used google.com/pda in the past many of times especially the GPRS, but I mainly work from home on my wifi. Today I noticed I could not get any thing to come-up on google while using the GPRS, with a timed-out error message. It sounds like we may all need to inundate tmo's wireless group with calls to get them to fix something on their network end of things.

Before we storm the castle
What locations are you in? Could it be a timing issue with whatever your access point/tower is and Google itself?
I just tried from the Eastgate neighborhood in Bellevue, WA using my T-Mobile MDA and was able to do a couple of quick test searches on Google (using the www.google.com/xhtml and /pda URLs) and completed each search successfully.

I'm in NYC.

Try Mobile Leap at http://mobileleap.net/mobile. It's a simple interface to a bunch of search engines and I was able to get a return from google using it via the phone.

Great idea markgamber! That works great!

Mine works ok. Im in Florida, usa. Thanks for the search site though...

Click the thread in BryanP's post in this thread and look on page 2. there are a few fixes you can try there.

In DC metro area and can only hit the .pda site. Called TMO and they said that it is a known issue and are trying to figure it out. It affects most google services. Call TMO and *****.. lets get this resolved.

Wow this is really an Issue, this is crazy I have to go thru all this trouble to get to goole and my gmail. Im in NYC and I have the same problem I cant get to the gmail or google, well it hits google.com/pda but it doesnt search for anything. I have to use netfront with proxy set to getmorespeed.voicestream.com:8080 to get to the sites anyone has any other solutions for this ?

Google time out issue
This time out behavior happens to me in Philadelphia and in New Orleans but works in Florida.

I actually called T-Mobile yesterday about this. I got upto a level 3 tech who exclusivly deals w/ MDA and other devices. He said this is an issue they know about and they're working on it. There was no ETA though, but he said they're seeing what the deal is.
I got 100 free minutes for complaining. Oh well.

maybe I should call too and get few hundreth minutes as I just got the service.

Something I noticed is that when I was visiting Detroit, Michigan I could not access google at all, but all other sites worked. As soon as I touched down back in Los Angeles, CA google was working just fine again.. weird but maybe something to look into?

Network connection error - market and google.com

Pretty odd if you ask me, I haven't found anything similar with my searches.
Stock EVO
2.2
PRL 60670
PRI 1.40_003
Just did a wipe/factory reset. Did not have this issue before the wipe, and don't want to wipe again, just got done getting everything setup the way I wanted.
So here's the situation.
Basically it's somewhat random. Open Market First page loads(cached) but any other searches or categories give me an error "A network error has occurred".
I cancel that, jump back to browser, try a google search to test my 3g connection, one search may work, then I get network errors. But, when testing other websites, ala espn.com, it works fine. Go back to google, no dice.
I am then forced to reboot, or force close both Market and the Browser to be able to browse again. But as soon as I pull up Market, and get the error, I'm back to not being able to use google. It's very odd and random, and I feel like I'm going crazy. I've toggled radio, wifi etc to refresh 3g connection, does nothing.
I haven't installed anything new recently, no updates, etc. I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing issues. I have a co-worker having similar stuff with his hero, and another guy from this weekend had the network error in the market. We had 3 phones together, two got network error the other was fine.
It's been about 3-4 days of this.
If I missed some big issue, flame me and everything, I'm just tired of messing with it.
Thanks,
Laddy

holy moly, this just started happening to me today too. Tried several different roms. Several kernels. Reflashed the newest radio. did a ##768# and ##3282# reset.
You are correct, it is only google affiliated sites that aren't working and i didn't realize that until you pointed it out.
I access sprint sites fine. 3g stays connected with full signal at all times. At this point i can't even log into my google accounts to sync contacts and crap..... this is really irritating me. WTF is google doing?
Weirdness. I live in champaign illinois, where abouts are you? And what gives people? These roms i tried flashing of course have worked before, i am a very technical person and nothing on the phone itself has been messed up. Seems that google may be blocking the phone for some reason.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769527
others are having this issue as well...

I am having the same issues, no google services work, that includes:
Google Talk
Gmail
Google Reader
Google Voice
pointing a browser at www.google.com
All other web surfing works fine, all other data works fine, full bars 3G
Tried factory data resets, 3 different roms
Flashed back to stock 2.2 still nothing.
I can't add Google accounts.
Sounds like basically no connection to any Google servers for any of their services.
Seems like its just through sprint though, maybe not, maybe sprints routers stopped routing traffic to Google for some reason.
I have searched the net all day and have been unable to find others with this issue, except for here.
Maybe it is just sprint.
Can any non-sprint users confirm there Google services working ok?

Thank god, I was going crazy trying to figure wtf was going on. No Idea how I missed that thread tho, feel free to close this one.

Evo market, Sync issues all day...

On my evo all day i have had market and gmail sync issues...killing my battery...Anyone else? I also cannot access appbrain by signing in...

No issues here. I have been able to sign in to gmail, check mail, download stuff from the marketplace and access appbrain.

Just wiped phone and now gmail doesnt import contacts...cant connect to server

I have had the same problems even facebook was not loading right. I am in Ohio dont know about you.

I'm having issues loading websites and everything data related. Sluggish and all.
I called sprint and supposedly HTC released a statement about issues with the Evo they are currently working on (maybe some validation/sync server issues?).
However, I couldn't coorolate why HTC issues is causing problems with the evo connections, but they got an email saying this.

i loaded a new rom today and had the same issue with the Market, it stopped downloads half way. But it fixed itself after a few minutes of letting it sit idle.
how long have u been having the issue? if not for too long, i would just let it sit for a few minutes.

You all aren't the only ones. I've been experiencing this all day in Kentucky. Girlfriend has the Pre and hasn't been seeing the issues. I thought it was just my phone because I flashed last night's Cyanogen nightly. Hopefully they fix this soon.

Ahh crap I thought it was because I flashed the new .35 cm6.1 kernel.
Browser been slow, having sync issue...everything is funky

Same problems here in South Florida all day!

EVO data is down for mobile or is spotty(per sprint)...I just used WIFI to download all of my stuff.

Blah, thanks for the info buddy.
TIGHTEN UP SPRINT

I have been havening problems too. I have been getting "A network error has occurred" pop up. Everything works with wifi on. I'm located in Chicago.

Been driving me crazy today. Everyone on custom Rom?

I too had issues today with the market.
When it finally did work I noticed that the EULA for the market changed today. I am guessing Google is getting prepared for the GingerBread launch and changes will be coming to the Market

Same Problems Too with Data
Market Gmail Facebook Anykind On app On my Evo Is Not Talking To The Severs The Only Thing Thats Working Is My Wifi Tether
But I Call Sprint They Was Talking Bout That last Update They Its Not Playing Nice With Evo Messing Up Hope This Is Fix Soon

I know it isn't your Rom Myn. I'm on it. Data is still down though... spotty in south Fla

I haven't had any issues - Orlando, Fl :dunno:

I've been having issues the past two days. Market is extremely spotty, mobile data as well and I haven't even tried facebook but I'm guessing its the same.

Talked to a Sprint rep here in South Florida. He said there is an issue with all Android devices. I'm still having this issue. Anybody else?

no such issues to report here in Atlanta. this must be either isolated to certain locations or a combination of custom roms and location?
i briefly experienced problems with the market right after flashing the sprint lovers rom, but that only lasted a few minutes. have not had any problem since.
anybody else in the ATL area having issues with the market?

[Q] Anyone having problems connecting to any Google sites over 3G?

This evening over 3G I have been getting either no connection or VERY slow connections to anything Google, such as the Market, Google's homepage and the Gmail app. Other sites seem to load fine.. Is it just me?

I'm having the same issue - have a friend with this problem too. Started for me last night. Like you said just google sites over 3g.

Same issues here, 4G I believe also. REALLY cost me some time on my commute having to try over and over again to get some directions to a customer's house... Eventually nav did work (even maps was lagging badly), speed tests were 'ok'. Wierd thing is, both 3G and 4G SEEM to be affected, yet if I wifi to my clear connection at home its just fine (and clear blows, usually I'm using my phone on mobile AP to pay bills because comed doesn't work on clear's dirt-cheap chinese ip's). What's up sprint, why GOOGLE, an integral part of the OS would you throttle for god sakes. All speech-to-text operations fail as well as they timeout.

Are you all stock?

stock rom, but rooted

Yeah same problems here I thought it was juat me

I've got the same issue, Can't download anything from market and can't log into any google services such as gtalk however I do have access to gmail.
I've rooted my phone and running xtreme kernel and epic experience and this has been happening since yesterday.

I can tell you it doesn't seem to just be the epic. I was on my friend's droid and it just seemed butt slow. Well then again, it's a verizon droid too...

I did have a problem with gmail earlier- had to clear out gmail storage/cache and re sync, which fixed it.. Or it just came back by then...

I'm surprised to see this post because I thought my browser was f'd up also. But I guess its just something wrong network wise.
r0cky.Da.3v0.SU

Still can't load Google.com but other sites (such as this one, I'm responding via the phone on 3G now) are fine. I can't pin point if its just stock people, rooted people, Epic or EVO people either.. a stock EVO next to me has no problems connecting to Google services. Very strange..

Looks like its not just me either. Maybe Sprint is upgrading their towers or something? I wish they'd tell us these things so we don't go through ridiculous troubleshooting measures for nothing on our phones..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832866

Sprint often seems to have connectivity issues specific to Google services. Couple weeks back when I still had my Evo... I was having issues signing in to google talk. I proved it was on Sprint's end by using Connectbot to create a proxy to mtalk.google.com:5228 and adding an entry for it in /etc/hosts. This fixed the issue completely. Sprint wouldn't admit anything.

Looks like we're back here in Kentucky - it was a data problem on the Sprint side! I'm glad THAT debacle is over, heh.

4g connects but no data transfer

Edit: the problem is with my 4g, not pdanet. On my phone itself with 4g on I can't load any webpages or get any other data connection. Worked last Friday, and haven't made any changes to the phone. Running burnt 1.3 with net 421 smartass nohavs.

Try reinstalling the pdaNet on both the phone and computer.
If still nothing, try turning your phone off then back on.
Sometimes people never turn their phones off.
Hope this helps.

i am one of those people who never turn off their phones >.>
anyway I had to reinstall it on the pc today anyway. It decided to not work anymore v.v havent reinstalled on my phone yet though.

Bump for edit

I have the same problem. I don't use pdanet. I can connect to the 4G network but I cant load a webpage or download anything. Basically no data transfer. I took it to a Sprint store and they are just going to replace the phone.

Transfer that's the word i was looking for
I'm going to reflash the wimax radio when I get home and my phone isn't dying, i'd hate to have to replace the phone.

Bah, reflashing the radio didn't help. Anyone got any ideas?

I am having the same problem with mine. It was working up until a few weeks ago, but now I can connect but it is painfully slow to load web pages. The page loads like 3/4's of the way, and then hangs for the rest of the page. The last 1/4 of loading takes a few minutes. That isn't even on a graphic-heavy page.
I am able to tether on my laptop though.
I am on OMJ's ROM, and have the most up-to-date radios that I know of

I've had this problem before too and the only way I found to fix it was to un-root and flash the stock rom. Then check if it works.
If it does work, root and flash a rom, I used sprint lovers rom and I didn't have any 4G issues with loading pages.....

Same here....recent issue....not sure what's up. Could be the network and not the phone maybe....what area are you trying to connect to 4g?
sent from my brain through my fingers through multiple electronic devices to your brain

Buddy I work with has an evo too and connected just fine standing next to me.
I can't imagine it fried the radio itself since it connects fine.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

well that blows....
i dont' have another evo to test it with....so I was HOPING it was a network thing....but I'm thinking it's not.
I checked my RSA keys.....they're still good.....
I have a NANDROID backup from a while ago when my 4g was still working...I'll flash it the next time I get to a 4g area and see if that fixes the problem.
I haven't touched my phone in terms of mods in over 2 months...so I'm wondering what the hell happened. I hate when **** like this just comes out of nowhere.
Please let me know via this thead if you have any new news.

new WiMax update is out in the dev forums. I'm going to flash now and see if it fixes my problems when i'm at work later (sidenote: my town has 4G, i just cant get it to connect at my house damn....trees)

Well I'm at a different place than normal but after flashing the new radio 4g is working.

I found out that my issue here was the app adfree.... if I stopped using that app, webpages on 4g load fine.

.....did nothing and 4g is working now....
aside from poking around in the adb shell to see if my RSA keys and MAC were still in tact (which they are)...my 4g started working again all by itself.
it was down for a week....and by "down" I mean that I could connect absolutely fine....get an IP....but could not transfer ANY data up or down. I did reboot serveral times while it was not working and that didn't fix the issue either.
Whatever....as long as it's working again...

Hmm i've been using adfree too but it didn't cause any problems. I agree Dell, as long as it's working.
