google now: frequent "no connection" error since i/o - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ever since the Google i/o update for google search I'm frequently experiencing a "no connection" bug with google now. The rest of the services works fine but Google Now can't connect to the internet. Rebooting fixes the issue but it reappears after some time. Am i the only one with that?

It happened to me once about a day ago, but that *might* have been because my internet was throwing a hissy-fit.
Out of curiosity, what was the Google i/o update?

They've added reminder settings and some new cards. Go to settings/cards to see what the new ones are

I'm having the same issue. Since the update, Google Now losses connection at least every other day until I turn off my WiFi/mobile data and turn it back on.
Assume a big fix week be on the cards (excuse the pun) but it's a pain in the meantime...

Same problem here.

I had this problem show up randomly after a few months without issues. Wiping the Google search app data solved it for a day or two then it came back.
I finally solved the problem by simply wiping the Google search app data, then turning Google Now OFF then ON. 6 weeks without a problem so far.

Same here. Not sure when it started, but it seems to be ROM independent, I had it on PA, PACman, Smooth, and now on Vanilla Rootbox. All clean installs/full wipes. Drives me crazy.

This is happening with me too on my Nexus 7 with 4.3. Tried turning Flight Mode off and on but this didn't help. It appears to be intermittent and can go away without intervention.

Unable to turn on bluetooth sometimes?

I haven't seen anybody create a thread about this, but has anyone not been able to enable their bluetooth without rebooting their device? I'll hit the bluetooth toggle in the settings and it just shots off right away. I'm not exactly sure what's causing it but I'm hoping that it's just a software issue since I use A2DP to listen to music.
EDIT: I performed a Factory Reset, I'll let you guys know if this problem still occurs.

Yeah same here, had that a while ago.. it happened after I used bluetooth for a while then switched it off, and then when I tried switching it on again after about 10-15 mins it wouldnt switch on. Had to reboot before it worked again..
Hope there's a software fix soon!

Would you recommend a factory reset?
I've had this happen occasionally on my N4, have to reboot in order to enable BT again. I'm guessing a software bug to be fixed in a future update. I doubt a factory reset will cure the problem.
Had this happen yesterday. I figured it was the nfc tag getting triggered too many times in the car mount? Simple reboot fixed it though.

I'm really hoping that this is just a software issue. I really don't want to RMA again. I actually have a Nexus 4 with a perfect screen.

I just experienced this problem as well. It was really annoying. Even toggling airplane mode wouldn't even work. On reboot, my bluetooth was already on though.

It's looking like a software problem. I wonder if people are experiencing this on CM10.

happens to me to. BT won't come on and need to reboot phone to fix issue.
i only use BT while driving as my music streams from the N4.
It's prob a software bug. i wonder if there's a service that we could kill that may get it to work again with rebooting.
Same here. Reboot fixes the issue for me.

First issue with my N4 I've experienced is this - happened just now and came looking to see if I was the only one. Normally I have alogcat installed, but hadn't gotten around to it yet. Next time it happens I'll fire it up and see if there's any useful messages or not If I get any info from it I'll share it here.

please help, my gps stopped working

so, today, i needed to look up driving directions and my phone would not lock in. i thought it was kinda strange, so when i got home i did some research. attached are the gps test results. I know that it's the phone, because when i checked it on my nexus 10, it locks in right away. i tested both of them next to each other. i tried using the gmps status app to clear A-gps data and doing resets with the gps status apps, but it did not help. it's no driving me crazy since most people are happy with their gps in the nexus 4 and seem to be able to lock in within seconds. i've left maps on for minutes with no success. i've already checked both google settings in the accounts and location to be on.
i recently started charging my phone with the lg wireless orb. do you think that's the issue? how can i fix this? it's driving me crazy.
It seems to see the satellites, but can't lock in.
You've tried rebooting, right?

WiFi Problem with my new Nexus 4

Hello, I got my nexus 4 three days ago and I'm facing a problem.
I can't seem to get realtime whatsapp notifications and when I go to the play store or YouTube my WiFi drops and it says connection time out retry and whatsapp messages take forever to receive. Is this a known bug in the nexus 4? Or should O replace my phone and get a new nexus with guarantee.
I'm currently using the march 18 Paranoid Android with Stock PA kernel, I'm not using any battery saver app (I'm using the same apps that I had on my S2) and none of them does anything to WiFi.
I flashed PA too fast after I got the phone but I think I was having this issue out of the box. I haven't changed DPI either.
Thanks in advance.
I tried changing kernel and nothing. Anyone? /:
There is a thread about it in general. But basically known bug, when on wifi and your phone screen is off (in deep sleep) you get delayed notifications or no notifications till you wake the device up.
In the android development section there is a kernel that fixes it for most (myself included.) on my phone and out so can't give links.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I posted my problem in PA thread and no1 seems to be having that problem like me, shouldn't franco's kernel have this issue fixed? Is that the only kernel that fixes that
I agree that it seems odd more people aren't complaining about it. I only really noticed it when I tried to use voip and the phone wouldn't ring when the screen was off.
So far only the one kernel I told you about fixes it. However Google is aware and working on a fix so in time all kernels will be fixed

Are the delayed notifications only a problem on wifi? What about when using HSPA+/3G?

Facebook News Feed Issues?

Been having some strange issues lately with Facebook on my N4. Over wifi it operates like normal, refreshing my feed quickly and normally. But over Straight Talk T-Mobile it refuses to update 95% of the time despite 4 bars of HSPA+ For comparison, Instragram updates immediately and numerous Speedtests show my normal 5-15mb/s.
Tried wiping the cache and uninstalling to no avail. Anyone having issues? This just started about a week ago.

What radio? Probably unrelated but I had similar facebook issues on the .33 radio over LTE. Downgraded to .27 radio and it fixed my loading issues.

Any chance you've exceeded your Data Cap for StraightTalk, from what I've seen straighttalk isn't exactly the most reliable for data usage.
---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 AM ----------
By the way when you say update, are you talking bout with the screen off, or when you're actually in the app forcing it to update?
For me it's when I'm in the app trying to update it and I know im not outta data so I'm thinking it's the app

Course at the same time I never considered Facebook to be all that reliable on the mobile side, so if all the other apps are working fine and it's just facebook that's crapping out it seems to re-enforce my feeling about their app. (I mean it even crashes on iOS every so often).
T-Mobile Straight Talk really doesn't have a data limit. Or I've never gotten close to it. As I said Facebook is the only app that does this. And even then 1 time out of 10 it'll update like normal.
I'm thinking this is some bug with the latest Facebook update. If anyone has any other thoughts for fixes let me know!

Same here with me and my wife. The only way I can get fb to load is to close all running apps via the multitask button then reopen and it goes.

Same issue here on the Facebook app, I've tried opening and closing it a few times and eventually it will refresh.
I believe it's definitely something on straight talks end because if you try to request the desktop site of facebook in chrome, it doesn't load either. I also am having this same issue.
Just a follow up, fixed using common sense. (shocking really)
Downgrading to 3.2 works like a charm. Can't post a link but look for the V3.2 APK on Android Drawer.

Google Services Battery Drain

Today I noticed that Google Services is draining battery by using some services but unlike before it is using it a lot.
Did any one experience this strange issue?

I'm pretty sure that's one of the ways we can take in order to save a bit more battery, but then again, why are we buying high-end devices with GPS tracking for whatever apps or security as I have (cerberus app) or real-time mails of work, social feed, etc.
Someone will say that they don't need instant mails on the device or don't want the GPS; point is, having GPS/push notifications should not be an issue for any user since those are the features we can, want, could use..
Only thing I really miss on blackberry devices...

Just to update on this. I done some reading online and found a few people mentioned that it was the latest play store update causing the battery drain. I went ino the app manager and deleted the update an went back to the original playstore apk that came with the rom.THis seems to have reduced my google services drain and my phone is lasting longer now
