Gray status bar icons - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What does it mean when the wifi and cell signal icons in the status bar are grayed out? Because that happens to me a lot.

It means you aren't connected to google's server.

Which usually mean your phone is not acting like it should be.

Or you don't have a data/internet connection on your phone.

I was having this issue a lot today at work, but I was using my old cut sim. I got a new microsim from tmobile today so hopefully that fixes it

You can have grey bars and still have a data connection.

This. It means you still have a data connection, but not a current connection to Google's servers for syncing to their services.

I had no idea. Is there a reason why this would be happening?

Sometimes the servers just go down briefly.

Yeah, use the app instead of your browser. App will say android, browser will say mobile.

Then it says Facebook for Android.
EDIT: I stand corrected. Facebook is so silly.
Maybe they changed it?

The app changed. Does it bother you that much?

This is part of the petty google vs facebook fight. FB took out the reference to Android in the app...
Use Friendcaster

My app still says via android... if your going into view profile that puts you through the browser... other than that I would reinstall it. Unless it is different for the nexus

LOL... who cares?
This version of facebook is really ****ed up because:
it always lists messages in "most popular" instead of "lastest news"
this version doesn't display messages from other posters
I finally gave up using app and use browser instead.
Omg this is so frustrating

Clearly it is defective. Return it to your local Sprint store. I understand this is a widespread and well known issue that is covered by warranty.

cannot download apps from playstore

I tried to look for this problem, but couldn't find anything relevant...
finally got my unlocked nexus 4 in the mail today!
was super excited, cut my existing t-mobile sim card (I'm on a contract with them) and was able to connect to their network.
the problem is that no matter what network i am on (wifi, 4g, 2g) i cannot download any apps from the play store. I click on 'install', it brings up the permissions window, i click on 'accept and download' and it tells me "[app_name] could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]."
Also can't update any apps...
I am extremely confused.. has anyone encountered this problem?
Remove your Google account and re-add it

Google Plus Updates Only On Wifi

Hi everyone
Noticed my Google plus app updates posts only when I'm on WiFi, not when I'm using my data connection. What could be the problem? I'm on the 4.2.1 ota but the problem was there before too.

I think there is a setting when you setup G+. Don't know if you can change it. Try resting the app through apps in the phones settings and set it up again.

[Q] Wifi connection problems

I can connect to my wifi router fine but the icon is gray instead of blue and i believe this means limited connection. Not really sure what to do next. All my other devices connect to the wifi with no problem at all so it shouldn't be the problem with the router.
It means your not connected to Google

Nexus 4 "Out of Service" Glitch

Check this out. It's happened to me a few times and a restart usually fixes it but it's getting kind of annoying.
I'm running stock everything but I'm rooted. Any permanent fix?
I can use data but I can't make calls when this happens.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
There is a permanent fix. Change provider. I was on wind and had same problems. Switched to Fido and problems are gone.

Seriously? I just switched from Mobilicity. Forcing it to connect by searching for the network and selecting it does bring back full connectivity so can't this problem be fixed?
