Google search issues - mobile network related? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Lately, for the past couple days I've been getting problems with google search on the phone, and this when not connected to any wifi, I'm on my mobile network, and when I connect to my wifi network, everything is good. Even when going into the browser and going in google, I get the same error, and I have to write a captcha to go to google search.
I get an error, here's a screenshot:

Am I the only one? Is this network related, ROM related?
Thanks,
JP

I'm running 4.3 slimroms and I'm on the Bell Mobility network in the Gatineau/Ottawa region.
No problems when connected to Wi-Fi, but when I'm on the network, Google search doesn't work, emails work and everything else, but Google.
Anyone?

Anyone else experiencing this issue? Whenever I'm connected to Wi-Fi, all is good, makes me wonder if it's not carrier related, and would be Bell Mobility the problem.

Yes I have been getting the same thing for the past week. Any solution?
First it started with a CAPTCHA message if I did a search from the native Internet browser.
Said something like we are experiencing unusual traffic from your network, and gave a 206.x.x.x IP address.
If I did a search on that IP address it came out to be bell server.
I had downloaded firefox, and it was working ok on it for a while since for some reason the ip address showed up as 185.x.x.x server.
Now I am getting the same CAPTCHA from firefox as well. I think the issue is between bell and google server.

Thanks, at least I'm not alone, I'm thinking about calling Bell and trying to get this solved!
I also have that IP starting with 206, hoping it's a problem between Bell and google...

Anyone else? This is really getting annoying...

I believe to have found my problem, when doing a search on "what's my IP address", I was always getting something weird and something saying a proxy, so I tried something, knowing it can't get any worse.
I deleted all proxy settings in my APN, and since then, everything has been working great, I now have a different IP address that's probably not flagged as "spam" and all is working great now.
So all in all, just had to delete the proxy from my Bell APN, and all is good!

Glad I could have helped! There's a "Thanks" button for that

Ok, so problem partially fixed, deleting proxy settings cuts my download and upload speed in half, so it's a fix...

"the current active connection must be closed"

I'm currently using hTc TyTN with 1.35.255.2 ROM WWE and having a problem with MMS. Almost every time MMS Composer tries to connect to MMS server, a notification below shows up and I have to choose Yes to continue.
"In order to send/download MMS, the current active connection must be closed (this may affect other application in use). Do you want to continue?"
After the connection is successful, MMS is downloaded fine and GPRS connection is automatically disconnected.
Is there a way to avoid this message to show up?
same here
I have the same issue, although accepting to close the current connection doesn't actually send the mms - it remains on the outbox.
how did you manage to get it sent?
If it helps the only active connection I can think of is of Yahoo Go.
hi, latinoxxx,
Can you try to have only one connection in Connections control panel? Also, as you wrote you can not send MMS, can you receive them?
Is there anybody else having the same issue with myself?

yep, I have the same problme.
I have this problem too. I get the error...

It then give the option to choose Yes or No.
Even if I choose Yes it still doesnt send or receive mms'
Anyone managed to sort this out?
active connection on mms
in the configuration of mms (by the server), you can change the connection. I have put the same connection as the active one. No i can send mms etc
any chance of screenies, i dont quite understand where you looking at...
Cheers
right, i finally found out where to change the mms settings, and finally got my phone sending mms'.
all the time i was trying to change the settings in the normal SMS/MMS window. I dont know whether it is a Black Satin issue only but here is where the settings are...

}
Create a new MMS and go Menu|Options|Message Options...
Then, with the settings from your provider create/edit the server shown.
Also, make sure it is set to default. (shown by red arrow)
Guys, this is an operator issue. Your operator has 2 GRPS profiles, one for normal GPRS, and the other for MMS. They differ mainly on the different APNs (access point names) - of course proxy URL, login may be different too.
From the hardware standpoint, it can only support one GRPS connection at any one time and therefore you must stop the existing connection before switching to another.
WM6 actually supports multiple ARN - but I haven't tried it. Apparently, there is a registry you can turn on. See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb416347.aspx
the fact still stands that it couldnt/wouldnt close the other connection even if you say yes. All sorted now tho.

MMs messeging?

Iv'e seen a couple of threads talking about these new programs pple are making, i tried the arksoft mms cuz it was free but it doesnt seem to send the messeges, some error occurs and just puts the messeges in the drafts folder, any reason for this? And if there are any other mms messeging services that are on the house out there?
Some Guy SMMS.

This is a common issue.
I have Verizon.. If you have Verizon Keep reading, otherwise search the forums for all the proper reg settings.
You need to make sure all the server settings are correct.
there are also a few reg keys you need to change.
VERIZON MMS SETTINGS FOR ARCSOFT MMX 5.0.XX
MMS Settings:
Server Name: Verizon MMS <this can be whatever you want
Gateway: Blank
Port: 80
Server Address: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
Connect Via: The internet
Send Limit: 300k
Wap Version: 2.0
**** I have seen the Server address reported as VZW.com where I have VTEXT.com on may posts. I had this setting but could not send.. I made a few changes including this server address and I was able to send. I do not know if it was the server address or one of the other changes, but everything works perfect for me.
Also Check the Following Reg Keys:
HKLM>Software>Arcsoft>Arcsoft MMS UA>Config>MM1>Wspheader
Modify or add a new string called X-VzW-MDN with the value of your 10 digit number.
X-VzW-MDN 5554443333
Modify the following to look like this:
User Agent: utstar68kv1
x-wap-profile: http://uaprof.vtext.com/utstar/xv68k/xv68k.xml
Accept-Charset: us-ascii;utf-8;iso-10646-ucs-2;iso-8859-1
I'm fairly certain these are all the changes I've made.
It's also a good idea to backup these settings to a .reg file... so if you decide to flash a new firmware, or upgrade your Arcsoft Version you can just apply the .reg.. (Yes upgrading Arcsoft, deletes your previous settings.)
Dam, I have sprint, this suck, lol I hope someone might have the right tools to maybe find a solution to this problem of picture and file mail
Alright I have set up a new server for the mail but I don't have a clue about how to modify the registry . Can someone give me a play by play on this?

I'll apologize in advance if is this is a really dumb question. I know how to make the registry changes. But where do I change that first group of settings?
Go to sms/mms , tap the menu at the bottom and go to mms options. then go to the server tab , tap the add new server put in the info above then set it as default server. Then you are good to go. It will send and receive after this is done but it will not show that it is coming from you until after the registry is tweaked . I finally got that done on mine this afternoon and it seems to be working great .
Let me tell you there are no dumb questions here . I am a total newb here and this has all blown my mind that this stuff can be done.
some guy sMMS works great for me. As far as I know its free still you just get a naggy 5 second advertisement at the beginning and before you send your message. It's worked pretty flawless. Cmon though is $5 really that much to get rid of the ads?
Would this work for me?
I have a sprint mogul but it is on Pageplus network, under verizon wireless
After a flash didnt backup IOTA, so now the gps wont work, and have no idea where to go, it keeps trying to "Vison" so I have no idea where to go
awwww crap!!! im trying to do this with telus using dcds 3.23 and i was told that itsa a carrier specific problem, it just can't be done on telus' network. so, regardless of the rom i cannot send mms. oh someone PLEASE prove me and the telus data network guy wrong
I have been trying to get MMS working on Telus also but everything fails. I now get this Forbidden error message coming up when trying to send out the message.

Has anyone been able to send MMS on the ROGERS/FIDO network either? I have had problems with that for a year now with ANY ROM I use.
Or of there are settings for for it in BC Canada, could you please post them

Application written for HTC Diamond, I am a developer.
The program can send SMS using GPRS/EDGE/3G/Wi-FI
While the program can be sent only to the Russian operators will soon be able to send to Ukraine and Europe

Send SMS using WIFI?, for free?... That sound very interested.
If your PDA is connected to the Internet via WI-FI any connections, please use it to send SMS
when it is available in Europe?
Thanks in advance!

Yes of course, the next version add European operators
and which operator does this software uses???
its a bit confusing, because there arent any information... maybe you can describe this tool a bit more... the way its working
The program works through the sites of mobile operators.
Please ask any questions.
its sounds interesting but im not quite sure how i should understand "The program works through the sites of mobile operators."
its not using my operators standard sms gateway?
or does is not using the "Mobile Subscriber Integrated Services Digital Network Number"?
and when do you guys releasing a version for sending from europe?
I don't really get it.
Is sending a sms through Wi-fi free?
That's what I understand from all the replies to this thread
same for me...
so its not only about WiFI its using an internet connection (GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA.....)
but im not getting the information which gateway this tool uses.
and i cant imagine that its sending for free.
The program uses a connection to your PDA, to send SMS through the gateway operator. Since you are taking only the traffic GPRS/EDGE/3G or even for free Wi-FI
but WHICH gateway?
the one from my mobile operator?
if yes, its sound senseless because i can send via gsm.
i think im totally wrecked plz clear me up
what is the point to pay for the GSM SMS when cheaper Internet connection.
Here is a new version
Application
Cab
any german user who tried this app?

Could you please add Portugal operators to the program?? Tanks in advance
I'm confused... Does it now support German Operators?
crashes
Vodafone - UK crashes the fone...
If the app is asking for the provider surly the provider will know ur sending the SMS so how can it be free? im not sure if the app has another function of maybe cloning the SIM and sending info the author.. A bit over the top but maybe
please add the vodafone network from Romania
Well, all your orders accepted. expect the new version

[Q] My N4 broken already?

Hi everyone, first of all, i apologise for my bad english.
Yesterday i finnally got my N4. It is the first time I have an android device, plus i am having issues with it, it is all more difficult. Here is the thing:
When you start your device at first, you are supposed to follow some first steps, i skipped the part of the sim (I still need to cut it), i entered my wifi, and when it Comes to enter your Google account, it gives me an error that pretty scares me: it says something like "a reliable connection to the server cannot be established, it is possible that this is about a temporal error or that the android device isnt prepared to data services, If the problem persists, call the customer service"
After that, my device doesnt sync for gmail, chrome, everything else, i cannot acces play store due to an error it gives me, i also cannot surf the net, use any application that requires internet (all of them :S?)
Ive tried everything I think its in my hand before posting. Rebooting, logging out reboot and logging in again, erasing all (the big default reset), etc, and it doesnt get solved ;(
I would appreciate a lot if you could point me in the right direction, but i think the device is broken somehow, and i"ll have to send it to be repaired :S
Thank you in advance.
are you sure it is connected to your wifi? check in the settings/about phone/status to see if you have an IP address

Ive rechecked the thing about the wifi, 54Mbps, it gives me an ip adress, when im not connected to any account it doesnt appear the top left warning synbol, now it appears some downloading symbol (dont know for what)
I think it is a problem with your router or ip setup.
Try this:
Set wireless connection ip-s with static and same as you get automatically from router. And DNS server put 8.8.8.8

I have already tried that too, the only part I skippped is the microsim one, i only have a sim on my old phone, i dont dare to cut it if then it doesnt work on is device and ill have to wait until i receive the microsim to sim adaptor.
As it follows, i enter my wifi data, that doesnt give me any error, and after that, the gmail account (which is the same I used to buy the device). After 2min or so, it gives me the error comented on #1 :s
I dunno if it does matter, but i mean factory restore as the option inside settings > security copy > restore factory data
Thank you.

Thank you for that explanation, but i am afraid it doesnt solve the problem. By using the 8.8.8.8 (static connection) dns, chrome gives me the error that there is no connection to wifi, if i use the same dns i have on my ipad, it says, connection acceptable, but it takes years to load a page (in case it does)
Thank you all for your effort, i rly appreciate that.
Can you :
- configure the same network configuration that you have on your tablet, on your phone (IP,netmask,DNS, network,gateway)
- disable networking on your tablet
- try again.
If it fails, you should think about sending it back.

You can also flash back the factory images but since you are still under warranty and don't really used to this kind of technical stuff, i won't advise you to do so.
Just keep in mind that sadly, the device is very popular and that Google will have new phones available only in about 3 weeks.

Unlimited tethering on MetroPCS (T-Mobile mvno)?

Any idea on how to get this working? I've edited build.prop and added dun to apn... But my hotspot still shows data being taken from my hotspot allotment instead of just from my regular data allotment. I have unlimited data and only 8gb hotspot
On dev preview 4 btw
I am interested in this. Anyone have any ideas??
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Also did the settings db edit with adb with no success
Only thing that has worked for me on T-Mobile (which metro pcs probably uses the same detection methods) is to do the settings db edit, add "dun" to the APN type, change the APN protocol to ipv4 instead of ipv6 and to also use a VPN to route all traffic through. If one of these steps are missed then tethering usage will show up.

The APN Protocol doesn't have anything to do with your wifi hotspot. Ipv4 is 32 bit IP addresses and Ipv6 is 128 bit IP addresses. Depending on where in the country you are one may work better for you as far as cell phone and data reception goes. I tend to get stronger signal with IPV4.
Bow when it comes to tethering........
Use a root browser to explore and navigate to
Data/system/dropbox and delete everything inside. Then change the permissions of that folder to "r - -

- - -"
Do the same for data/system/netstats
And data/system/procstats
See the pics I attached. They'll explain everything.
I've been doing this on all my devices that run lollipop and up with no issue. And I have a Nexus 7 (2013) built into the dash of my GMC Sierra that I use to stream YouTube or Pandora or surf the web. It pulls from my hotspot everyday on the way to and from work. About an hour each way. As well as anytime I'm in the truck. And I pull 125 to 150 gigs a month. About half through my hotspot. And I'm on an unlimited 4g LTE data plan. So I should normally have to pay for the hotspot.

I do realize that but if the VPN provider does not support ipv6, the this method will not work, but I'll assume you already knew that....

Data/system/dropbox and delete everything inside. Then change the permissions of that folder to "r - -
- - -
- - -"
Do the same for data/system/netstats
And data/system/procstats
See the pics I attached. They'll explain everything.
I've been doing this on all my devices that run lollipop and up with no issue. And I have a Nexus 7 (2013) built into the dash of my GMC Sierra that I use to stream YouTube or Pandora or surf the web. It pulls from my hotspot everyday on the way to and from work. About an hour each way. As well as anytime I'm in the truck. And I pull 125 to 150 gigs a month. About half through my hotspot. And I'm on an unlimited 4g LTE data plan. So I should normally have to pay for the hotspot.

Great tip, thanks for sharing. Unfortunately it does not seem to work on my LG G5 on Metro Any idea if it only works for stock Android? My ROM is the T-Mobile ROM, so there could be something else at play.

Any idea on how to get this working? I've edited build.prop and added dun to apn... But my hotspot still shows data being taken from my hotspot allotment instead of just from my regular data allotment. I have unlimited data and only 8gb hotspot
On dev preview 4 btw

I'm on pure nexus ROM. Native tethering is included. It's working fine.
