[Q] Problem with Flipboard - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I have an issue I can't solve specifically with flipboard.
Short story short: Yesterday I connected to a wifi in a café. They had the usual wall before the connection: signup, name, email etc. then I could get connected. The wifi was called The Cloud, in a Costa coffee of London. Everything fine.
Then I get back home, and now, for certain feeds in my flipboard, I get this screen (attached).
I tried to erase the cache from Flipboard and my browser, didn't help.
Please tell me I'm not going to have to wipe my entire system... How could I fix this?
THANK YOU!

Remove and reinstall Flipbook? It's a little less drastic than wiping your entire system.

I guess so, thanks

Yeah, I'm sure that Flipboard just tried to cache some articles before you logged on to the wifi at the cafe. The problem probably would have gone away on its own after a few days anyway.

Can't seem to wipe this Spring Galaxy Tab

I've been given a Galaxy Tab by my office to play with for a while for some various development projects we have coming up and to evaluate its use. Initially another employee had it, but he quickly lost interest.
Problem is, his Gmail account has been tied in as the primary account for the system, so I can't use my own Market apps, etc. No biggy, I'll just wipe it, right? First I tried a data wipe from recovery, but despite claiming to be successful after a reboot it's still got his account in there. So then I did Privacy/Factory data reset, but that mostly just reboots into Recovery where I do the same thing again and still fail to wipe his data off the device. I then pulled the memory card and formatted it and also reset with it out, but no improvement. I finally downloaded the stock image and flashed it with ODIN and STILL his account remains.
So... any thoughts on what I could be missing here? I just want this thing back to pure stock so I can put my own account in and work with it as though it were new.
I am having the EXACT same issue on a Verizon Tab...
No one has been able to help me.

Glad I'm not alone, but sorry to see you've not gotten anywhere either. This seem absurd...
Agreed. I thought I was the only one.. It just doesn't make sense.. I flashed mine using heimdall and still the same issue. The only problem is that mine force closes when you do anything.. So if I can't restore the software on this it's absolutely no good to me.
Yeah, same here. Nearly none of the apps functions now after the reset. This is absurd.
I'm in the same boat. It's very frustrating. Sprint was not able to help me. All he could do was walk me through the factor reset. I downloaded a Market app that bugged out something and now I'm getting quite a few force closes.
I just notice that if I merely restart this thing is loses all changes I made since I last restarted it, adding back any apps I uninstalled, removing accounts and WiFi settings I installed, etc. This is screwy. Wondering if there's a hardware problem with the flash memory.

Listen to this, even more crazy than that... After my last unsuccessful wipe, I decided to just uninstall all of the applications. I just did another factory restore for the heck of it. Now ALL of the applications I uninstalled are back!.. AFTER the factory restore!
I think the only sure way to fix the problem is to get a zip file of the stock firmware and load it through the recovery screen.
Edit: since it put the applications back on there, I decided to try your situation. I uninstalled all of them, turned off the Tab and then back on. All applications are back.

It seems incapable of now making permanent changes to the flash memory. This is really screwy and annoying.
I am having the exact same issues. We are all in the same boat.. I have a $30 reward if anyone can fix this..
Any updates from the others with this problem?
I received 2 more Tabs today for my sales reps. They both work fine as far as factory restore. I noticed that the bad one goes to the boot loader when I initiate the restore through the Android software. The new ones do not. They format and reboot back into the operating system. Sprint is going to exchange the bad one.

Thanks for the comparisons. Mine also goes to Recovery mode when I initiate a data wipe, so clearly it's the same situation. I'll have to see how mine was acquired and whether an exchange is an option.

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

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.

CacheUpdateService - Draining Battery

Hi,
The last couple days my battery had been draining quickly. After having it unplugged for 2 hours this morning, and only listening to music for about 30 min, noticed i was at 95% so looked at my wakelocks. The #1 wake lock is "CacheUpdateService" under google services. It has not allowed my phone to go into deep sleep once. See screen shot. Any help would be appreciated. Just 2 days ago battery was amazing.

Me too, I just found your post in a search for the same issue. I'm going to try a few things and I will post if I fix it...

Really hope you find a solution to this.
I just tried reflashing CleanRom 1.1, but it did not solve the problem. Granted it was a dirty flash. I'll try a clean flash when i get a chance.

Only thing I found was to toggle the "sync" off then on for the google accounts in the notification pull down on samsung phones. I did that and also cleared cache and dalvik. Problem went away. Give it a shot. I have seen in the past when something like gmail or calendar would hang on sync and a setting it to not sync then back on would fix it. If that doesn't work, I've also actually removed my google account and added it back (fixed another issue in the past). Good luck

Thanks for the info. I ended up doing a factory reset then reflashing cleanrom. Seems to have solved it. If it coms up again I'll give your tips a try.
I have awesome battery life. I disabled Google now and never looked back. Also disabled wifi location services. My second charge I got 43 hours off charger and 5 hours of on screen time and had 9% left. Check the battery review thread that's somewhere on these G2 forums for tips.
Had this issue on my G2. After much frustration, i ended up uninstalling google play services with titanium backup, then reinstalling them. To reinstall them, I uninstalled a google play app (google play music in my case) and reinstalled it. The play store then had me install google play services from there.
Sleeping like a baby since.
I have the same problem. Tried everything from factory reset to uninstalling Google Play Services, but no luck. Did anyone have any other solutions? My phone doesn't go to deep sleep ever.
I have been so impressed with the battery power during usage so I tried 2 nights in a row to let it sit and see how the battery was over night. Each morning shocked to see 15% gone in 8 hours. Granted I have seen worse in the past with GS3 but still I am listed as it was awake the whole time. And the listing under Gsam is cacheupdateservice. every google app is unchecked in account and my gmail account is set to sync off. My regular email account is set to sync but only on manual. I do have access my location on with wifi and mobile location checked. I'll try unchecked. Any other help is always appreciated. Thanks
I had/have the same issue. The phone will NEVER sleep. I went into task manager and force stopped and cleared cache on almost all apps. Went to manage apps and cleared all data and cache in google play services yesterday after noon. Perfect for a couple hours. No cacheupdate service listed in gsam. checked back a little later and there it was again. Not sure at all what I did to trigger again. I then did the same thing and let it sit over night. Lost only 4 percent in 7 hours. So far have changed wifi and mobile locations on the way to work to work, checked email and surfed the net. So far so good.
Has anybody made any head way on the cause of this. If I clear the cache and data for Google services and force stop I am good for as much as a day sometimes with none of these wakelocks. Then they are back. I have tried a bunch of stuff with no true fix yet. I uninstalled the updates and no wakelocks but I keep getting messages telling we it needs to be updated. Any in sight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I don't have a G2, but I have the exact same issue on my Moto X...I tried searching a lot for this issue and no one seems to have a good solution (wipe cache, dalvik etc has not helped me).
Ultimately what I have done is install this app (phone needs to be rooted), then select System Apps ->Google Play Services and disabled CacheUpdateService. I haven't seen any side effects of this yet, but I am not sure if there will be any....Can someone else who is rooted give it a shot too and see if things improve?
App is called Disable Service

Phone randomly wiped itself

Hey all,
Yesterday I reached for my phone as it was charging untouched next to me, and the screen said Android is updating, or whatever it says for example after the install of a new rom and the apps are all updated. Then once it was done all my data and settings were gone, like it factory reset randomly. I still have my pictures and downloads etc, but all sms and call logs, homescreen settings etc were gone and I was signed out of all my apps, like after a factory reset.
The past few weeks or maybe even months I was also having the issue of the phone randomly freezing up, necessitating a reboot, but then all would be well. This could happen when the phone was in my pocket, or even mid stream of a podcast for example. My phone is the Z force and I typically have a battery mod attached as well.
Anyone have any idea what could have happened? How to avoid it happening again? If there's any hope to recover my old data or settings?
Thanks in advance for any help offered.
Do you have an SDCard? Formatted as internal?

Yes, that's right. Things like my pictures and downloads are still there, but no data. My apps are there, but not my settings for example.

I had that on first reboot after the nougat update, and again after a couple of security updates. It happened to a few others and Motorola blamed the sdcard.
Try formatting after backing up.
My issue seemed to fix itself.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one, and that yours seems all good now. I think for now I'll cross my fingers and take your advice and format if it happens again. Thanks for the reply.
Happened to me today
Lost all my settings, Nova theme settings, sound settings, ringers, alerts. All my apps are still installed, but I have to log back into everything.
This sucks.

Playstore not downloading anything.

Hey Guys!
First post. Just bought Oneplus 6T 8/128 yesterday. Such a awesome device but the problem I'm facing is with Playstore. Suddenly it's not downloading anything over Wifi/4G data connection. I tried clearing the data for Playstore/Play Services. Restarted the phone even tried battery saving. None of this works. Though it works fine sometimes but most of the time it doesn't download.

You can't download any new app? I have noticed that in over one week, not one app has been updated. Every time i check, no updates which I find weird.
Not sure if we have the exact same thing, but for the last few days I also cannot download or update anything. The apps just sit in "Download Pending". Usually i have temporarily fixed it by ending the play store, wiping the storage and cache, rebooting, then letting everything reload in the play store and it will work again for a few days. Happens to me on Data/Wifi/VPN.

Yes happening same to me as well. Though it gets fixed automatically for some time but again I have the issue.
I just got a 6t and for some reason it will connect up to 5Ghz wifi but will not get any data. I can connect up to 2.4Ghz all day long and get on the internet, update everything but if i have wifi/data on connected to 5Ghz wifi - zilch - it's like it has no dns or something. I can see the connection, it gets an ip from the router but...bloop. I tried all the troubleshooting steps. (I also have a OP 6 on same os version and it has zero issues).
It sounds like a Google play services issue. I had a similar problem with my previous device and even when I got my 6tvit persisted. Had to email Google and they updated my play services info. It's sticks with you, whatever it is.
Actually now that I reread your post I think this is exactly the same issue I had.
I had the same issue when I flashed OOS international rom to my 6T T-mobile version. It was solved by relockiing the bootloader.... FYI.
