Force close and network errors

Hello,
I have recently begun to experience a major problem with my G1 running the latest builds of Cyanogenmod (currently 4.2.11 but I have had the problem with the last few versions). What happens is that for some reason some apps force close right when I attempt to start them (Google Voice, or any app that has a camera running when it opens) and other apps can not connect to the internet. When I open apps like Pandora or Wapedia it says "A network error occured" or "Could not connect to the servers."
The weirdest part is that not all apps are affected. I can still access the internet through the default browser, and the gmail app. Also the default camera and camcorder apps do not force close and work perfectly. In addition these problems do not arrise for some time after a reinstall.
I have wiped and reinstalled different versions and even started over flashing an HTC update and then returning to a cyanogenmod version. I have wiped all the partitions on my SD card for apps2SD and recreated them. However due to the nature of the problem I have guessed it is some problem with Apps2SD but I cant figure out what it is. I have run the fix_permissions script, and attempted to remove/rebuild the market/app cache.
If anyone knows anything about how to fix this or has experience this before themselves any help would be really awesome. If any more information is needed to help diagnose this problem I will gladly post it.
Thanks again and sorry for the wall of text.

Sorry for self-bumping my post but I would really like some help because I have done everything I know of to fix the problem and looked around the internet for help but I haven't found anything similar to my problem.
Thanks

Im having this problem too and i have no idea what to do about it lol

internet connection failing

My hero seems like it should be headed for the trash. Over the past few days I have been noticing problems getting my gmail to sync, browsing the internet and looking up things in the marketplace. I am running stock 1.5 that was rooted. That is it. I have tried going to setting and updating profile then rebooting but doesnt seem to have solved the problem. I also just tried flashing cyanogenmod 6.1.0 release and I was unable to sign into my google account at startup??
The phone does show an internet connection. Opera browser doesnt appear to be having any issues, but any other app does... any advise would be great!

I'm having the exact same problem. I have no idea what to do, I've tried everything for 4 hours now. My internet is so sketchy. Everything from google maps losing connection, to facebook, to a weather widget I have not even getting the weather. Its insane

i'll take the phone to a dumb sprint rep if needed, but what about if they see FLIPZ_PRI and stuff on the phone because it has been rooted? There has to be something here to fix the problem?

If you figure it out let us all know because i am having the same problem. I have done just about everything i can think of. From reflashing roms to 5 different kernals and even different roms nothing helps.
Good luck

well if a lot of people are having the same problem doesnt that seem to sound like a sprint issue??? i have no idea what updating prls and profiles due, but something isnt right.

Been having similar issues myself. From what I've been reading it's a Google server issue which is why you can still browse the web etc... but still like the market isn't working correctly.
Don't take my word for it though...

Internet problems
I've had the same issue on and off all day. I first noticed youtube not working, then facebook and then voice. YouTube wasn't working for a few hours, facebook a few minutes and voice just got working again; all my problems started sometime this morning 10ish.
I'm running Cyanogenmod 6.1.0, 2.42.01.04.27 Baseband, 60670PRL and my kernel is Decad3nc #11

Sprint is currently havng 3G issues, Chicago looks to be fixed (maybe)

as of the last 30 minutes to an hour, all is right with the market and internet on my phone... "YAAAYYY... and there was much rejoicing".... we'll see if it holds

It's a google problem, nothing to do with the phone or the rom

Yeah, Chicago was fixed today. Yesterday I couldn't use Navigation because there wasn't a connection being made to Google's navigation servers.

Yeah, they're systematically fixing it, but it's taking awhile

[Q] Market killing 3G connection

I have a weird problem with my AT&T galaxy tab. For the past couple of days, each time I launch the Market, my 3G connection is killed and I can no longer access the network, and of course I cannot access the market. As soon as I kill the market app, my 3G connection comes back.
I cleared the data and cache of the market app, did not solve the issue. When I uninstall the updates of the market app (reverting to the original ugly market app), everything works fine, but it then automatically updates itself and the problem comes back. I assume this is a problem with the market app itself and not my device (hopefully).
Has anybody else experienced this issue and found a fix?
I am running stock ROM with third party apps installed enables (done it with superoneclick: root, enable third party apps, unroot).
I have the amazon app store installed, so I can still buy new apps, but I would like to be able to get updates for the apps I have purchased from the market.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

What modem are you using? Does the problem happen when you are using wifi? I think the JMF modem that is available for overcome rom is weak and I get many dropped connections and slow data speeds.

I am using the stock ROM and stock modem, I have never flashed a ROM. It only happens with the Market App.

Same issue for me. I have a rooted stock rom.

I have the same issue. Also stock rom and rooted. When WIFI is on (and connected) the market works fine.

I have been beating my head against this since I bought one. I am rooted using....I think I used Super One Click......stock everything else with non-market apps enabled. I originally thought that Root had broken it; however, if I unrooted, reset to factory, I still had the issue.
After many hours at the ATT store and on the phone (and swapping the device once and SIM card twice) I had an epiphany. a Factory Reset does NOT wipe the Internal SD like I thought it did. It leaves /mnt/sdcard/ intact. So, just for kicks, I began looking at my folders here. I MAY have discovered something. Market started working after I restored this folder to it's factory content (deleted any folders having to do with Apps in general).
I can typically hold power, deactivate Data connection, wait a few seconds, re-enable, and I get 3g back (at least for browser and other apps, Market still fails).
I have PSX4Droid installed (PSX Emulator if you don't know). There is a folder here named /.psx4droid, so I renamed it to /psx4droid (If I remember correctly, doesn't the "." hide the folder......too long since Linux class). I then deactivated/reactivated my data, and the Market started working properly.
I am not sure if it has to do SPECIFICALLY with psx4droid or just the "Hidden" folder in general, but now my Market works. I have 2 more folders in this location (/.downloadTemp and /.FileExpert) that may/may not cause any problems. I will post my findings.
.....Okay, so I'm going to type what I write now....Market just failed. Now I'm renaming /.FileExpert....Let's see what happens......
Damn. Still fails. But I'm tellin' ya. There is something in this folder causing it.
Or maybe some app is causing it to break......I have Amazon App store installed, what about you guys?

I do have Amazon App installed.
Anybody with an AT&T Tab not having the issue?

Same issue here. I had the Amazon Appstore installed but uninstalled it probably a week afterwards. Rooted running stock, everytime I go into the market it crashes the 3g. I found a folder in sdcard/android/data that had a bunch of appstore files in it. I deleted that and still having the same issue. I have removed all 3rd party apps so I have no idea what is triggering this. Please help.
P.S. I can access the market on WiFi

This also happens to be sometimes, if you tap wifi on then off again your 3g should come back and work fine.
swyped from a galaxy far far away...

Unfortunately what you proposed did not work. The market is killing the network connection each and every time. The network connection only comes back when the market app is not active anymore.
Since everything works fine when the market upgrades are uninstalled, I really think it is a bug in the newer version of market. Hopefully, the next update will fix this.
Maybe when Gingerbread is out!

I'm thinking this has more to do with us having installed amazon appstore before it was supposed to be. Somebody is mad at us

Has anyone made any progress on this situation?

I really wish I would have made more progress. After all the trouble I had with the device with this issue, I was seriously monitoring the apps I installed and then testing the Market. I gave up after a while since I am on Wifi 90% of the time and hardly ever do I access the Market while driving. I still have a feeling that something in /mnt/sdcard is causing it. Like I had mentioned, I could wipe back to factory and the problem was still there. I seem to remember that it only started working proper after I had cleared this location of crap. I would think that a Market update would see a larger group of affected tabs than just a handful of us. This doesn't seem to be a widespread issue.
That being said......I have decided to move on to Gingerbread. Maybe that'll fix it

Hey guys, try this. Worked for me and my Data problems with Gingerbread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13751694&postcount=6
Basically create a new APN inside Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names. Only set the APN to "Broadband," save it (Menu button) and select the radio button for it. Instantly fixed my data issues.

Thank for the tip. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. I am running stock 2.2 and waiting for the official 2.3 update from AT&T.

Good Luck. I thought about waiting for the official.....but I also have a Captivate. We didn't get 2.2 until MONTHS after the rest of the world (I think it was like 5 or 6 months later). I didn't want to wait that long again.

Could you please report if the problem fixed with Gingerbread ?

At first I didn't have ANY cellular data until I created a new APN mentioned in the tagged thread (APN Broadband). Now I have no issues with Market. I wish I could trust AT&T to release Gingerbread in a timely fashion, but I know better. So instead, I flashed Overcome.
P.S. I really can't enough of the CRT lock animation......damn I'm such a geek....

Google Talk won't stay signed in

Google talk will not stay signed in, or is randomly disconnecting and reconnecting later. I've checked my sync and power settings it shouldn't be an idle issue or data connection problem because i have full signal. I didn't have this issue with the Aria?
anyone else having this?

So am I the only one? Did I get a defective device?

is it giving you any kind of error message? I had that problem ALL THE TIME with my blackberry torch. It kept logging me out saying internal error. That's honestly one of the reasons i got the android. So google apps would work right. I've not had any issues with my google talk. Have you tried logging in with another account just to see if it makes any difference?

no error at all, i lauch the app and it either greys out and i have to back out and lauch again to get the signing in message or i get the signing in message.
I never had these issues with my Aria, i wondered if this version (with the camera/voice options) might have a bug?
tried multiple accts same issue.
i called HTC and the guy said hit home screen instead of backing out of the app to force it to keep running but that did no good. he also asked if i had a task manager and I said only the htc one that came with the phone. He said android comes with that now???? anyway i told the htc one to not start on startup just to see if that was causing any issues but no change.
i still randomly get disconnected from gtalk.

I don't know what to suggest then, that's strange Until we get root it'd be kind of hard to "mess up" an app like that. So I have no idea why it won't stay connected. Maybe take it into an AT&T store, show them, and ask for a new one? IDK if that'd work or not...

Do you have juicedefender? Cus it will disconnect it when u lock ur device

no, i don't use that.
in fact, i went through all (i could find) htc/android setting making sure it wasn't a power setting turning off my data or something crazy like that.

Been having the same issue on my inspire for months. Annoying as hell. Tried clearing data and everything else. Just have to live with it.

I have had the same issue since day one.

Google Talk won't stay signed in except on wi-fi
I have a Galaxy S II w/ ICS 4.0.3 on T-mobile and have the same issues. I have done a master reset and have the issue still. I have 3 accounts on G Talk and all sign out when using network only but will stay signed in on wi-fi. It's annoying. I have also tried unchecking the "Away when screen off" box and still no luck.

I've moved on from the Aria, the Vivid and the S3 has not had this issue with me.

Google now crashes while on some wifi networks

Ive been having an issue for a couple weeks now where the google search app, launched from the drawer or by holding down the home button, closes a second or so after startup with the defulault "We're sorry google search has stopped" message. No amount of clearing the cache/data, rebooting or reinstalling the app makes it work, the only fix was clearing the data and it would work from first launch, once I close it it goes back to crashing. I noticed after a while that it would start working at what at firsr seemed like random times of day, but just recently i noticed it consistently starts working normally again after about 12 pm (cst), i havent been able to tell when it stops working again however. I'm on NG3, rooted, using Dynamic Kat 4.0 using the GPE theme, and I have xposed framework installed. I am open to any suggestions.
EDIT: Currently 2320 here and its still working fine till it started its "scheduled" starting working, so i believe it begins again durning the night or sometime during the morning. Also thinking it over i realized it may have something to do with the wifi im on till around when the issue stops. I will look further in to the circumstances and report back.
EDIT 2: Yep, it crashes consistently if im on the wifi at my school, which doesnt make too much sense considering it will work fine(for the first launch) if i clear data, and google.com loads finein firerox.
Edit 3: If i turn off wifi, open the app, and turn wifi back on then it also works fine, once again until i close the app, past that it doesnt work when on certain wifi networks(so far only seems like the one at my school), i'd also like to note it used to work fine, and the problem appears to have started after upgrading from DK 3.0 to DK 4.0, I may ask in the rom thread as well.
Edit 4: If im on the wifi with a vpn the app opens fine. I think a better title for this issue would be "Google app crashes when on certain wifi networks". I cant think of any way they would correlate, google isnt blocked and the app used to work, but somehow its making it crash.
I also thought I should note that the app im referring to is actually called "google now", its the one that opens with the homekey longpress (by default) and is named "google" in the app drawer.
