Problem connecting to google servers today? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

GrooveIP app won't sign on today and tells me that it can't connect to Google voice servers.
I had problems downloading an update from the play store too.
In my Sync settings... I've got some spinning arrows... but no actual syncing going on. And I've got an error down at the bottom of the screen "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly"
Anybody else? It's been like this all morning.

No problem in Atlanta, USA. Play store works, downloads work, emails, sync, all of it.

It figures...I spend over a half an hour screwing with it, then I ask the question here. Almost immediately it all starts working again.
I just saw that Google IO tickets went on sale (and sold out) a short while ago (while I was struggling with their servers).
I will take a guess that they either prioritized their servers to handle sales of tickets, or they just got swamped again (like the first couple of rounds of sales of Nexus 4s).

Google doesn't use the same banks of servers for POS and cloud services, they know better than that. Likely it was something to do with your local/regional data connection or DNS.

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.

[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..

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.

[Q] Pressreader and The Times UK

Hi,
Just looking for a little help. I have been using my Times.co.uk newspaper subscription flawlessly through pressreader on my tab for just over a month. Inexplicably it stopped working a few days ago and now whenever I attempt to re-authorize my account I just get a "Couldn't establish connection to the network" error.
I've done a factory reset on my tab, the rest of it's internet connectivity is perfect so this seems like an issue with pressreader. Samsung support didn't actually seem to know what the Galaxy Tab was let alone pressreader, the Times just told me it should be working and pressreader/press display's support is poor to non-existant.
Has anyone else managed to keep their Times uk newspaper subscription working with their Galaxt Tab and pressreader?
Thanks for any advice,
I have the same or similar problem.
I can't add my times account nor can I authorise my Tab with PressDisplay.
In other words, when I go into accounts I only have the IMEI number and a single authorise. When I select authorise I can enter my username ans password but I then just get the same error as you.
I have no way to add my times account because nothing happens when I select the menu button.
Same issue with me on my Galaxy Tab. Have emailed PressDisplay but no reply as yet.
Anyone else got one?
I don't have a full Times subscription (just at the weekend), so I'm not expecting to get the Times in PressDisplay.
I do hace a PD subscription, however, that works fine on my iPhone, but I cannot authorise the Tab. I see a "Processing" dialog, followed by a "Couldn't establish connection to the network". Grr.
I've also emailed PressDisplay, and will report back as and when I receive a reply.
The seven trial issues downloaded perfectly.

I finally got to the root of why my Times subscription worked initially then stopped. The Times were caught out by the launch of the Gtab, but once they realized it was out and shipping with Press Reader, they quickly moved to specifically ban the device from accessing user subscriptions to their papers to protect the profitability of their ipad application - very kind of them.... this is why you get the "can not establish connection to the network error"
I have had this confirmed by both the Times (who issued me with an apology and complete refund on my subscription costs) and the support folks at Press Display.
It's a shame as for £8 a month it was great value, the only quality broadsheet now available (in the uk) is the Telegraph, but Press Display's odd subscription policies now make it cheaper and more sensible to just buy the paper at 90p an issue from your local news agent.
There's nothing quite like progress!

no..everything is stock
the only thing i have is the laucherpro
What do you mean with push isnt working? GMail push or basically that Talk doesnt work the way its supposed to? As in, its not really connected to the network?
I ask that stupid because I, my sister, a friend of mine and my GF all suffer from Talk connectivity problems since a while. We all connect to Talk using our Google Apps account, we are all on the same network and it works for all of us on WLAN but not via the mobile network. Basically, whenever we turn on our phone and check Talk, the contactlist will turn all gray, Talk will go offline and eventually reconnect. If we left the phone in the middle of a conversation, the "lost connection (...) msg will be sent when connected"-banner appears.
When I first approachrled my provider with a Cyanogenmodded HTC in my hands ai got laughed at, but the laughter stopped this morning now that I rubbed the brand new totally stock and still not working Note in his face. The support case is open, the network specialists should get in touch with me by the end of the week, the guy said.
Edit: I forgot my bottomline: and I'm yet to find another one suffering the same problems which makes me not look so good, being the only one suffering from that and claiming its the network and not me ;-) Thats why I asked that dumb...

Google talk has a "priority" system, so if you're logged into google talk anywhere else, it might be going to that device instead of your phone. (including gmail google talk)
