been bouncing around between cm7 rc1 and back to latest cm6.
everythings working ok but for maps.... says "Network failure: This application requires a working data connection." well duh it needs data! never seen or had this error before. what do i do to fix it?
so now ive unrooted and reflashed stock roms, wiped caches, everything i could possibly do in restoring to a new out of box state and maps still wont work.
help?
Clear maps data?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I just ran into the same problem. Neither clearing apk data nor uninstalling/reinstalling Maps helped. I rebooted into recovery and fixed permissions. I also wiped /cache and Dalvik-cache while I was at it. One of those last two seems to have done the trick.
edit for derp.
This was a temporary outage - it worked fine on WiFi at home when i looked some place up, then i got in the car and tried getting directions there and nothing... then about 2 hours later it started working again.
This is when MapQuest (the new maps app, in beta I believe) saved the day. Granted, I could have used a crappy old TomTom I still have in the car, but MapQuest was more convenient.
I had just flashed a CM7 #5 when I noticed the error, so it seemed likely I'd broken something locally. A service outage would certainly explain it.
I think it's on Google's side. Got the same "need a working data connection" message also.
Had problems this morning but seems to be OK now.
I love the way that upon a service outage, geeks will fiddle about with their kit until something they do coincides with the service being restored. I do the same with my DSL connection lol.
To get the maps working again just uninstall streetveiw updates and reinstall them, i worked for me on the nexus one
^ same here
i was panicking earlier this morning when gps was failing to navigate me to my new job on the first day, thought it was just me. wiped map's data and it's working great again.
I flashed a new rom which didn't have google maps and since then I have not been able to get google maps work. It always throws an error message "Network failure: This application requires a working data connection." I tried wiping data, uninstalling, reinstalling, etc., but nothing worked. I even flashed the rom once again, but to no avail.
Please help!

Which ROM did you flash?
Sent from my Nexus One using xda app-developers app
I flashed Nahim2k7.
The author of the ROM suggested the solution. It was problem with /etc/hosts where google services were blocked along with other ad services. Replaced the hosts file with a file containing only the following:
Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost
Now, it works fine.
solved
same problem
solved by
trying again n again in 5 time it start working as normal ahhaaha.
click maps app ... app open .... require data connection.......... OK ....
did 5 times and got it normal

I have tried several different 2.2 builds on my (AT&T) HTC Pure. Most of what is supposed to work does, and it's fun to play with. However, what's really holding me back is an inability to download anything from the Android Maket. I can sign-in and browse just fine, but when I "Install" something and go to the downloads tab, all I find are apps that say "Starting Download" with a perpetually cycling progress bar. I've let it run for 15 minutes and never got anything to actually download. I do not have a data-plan, so I use wifi. I have verified that wifi works.
I have also noticed that I cannot sign into gTalk. I've seen several posts suggesting that once you sign into gTalk, that I'd be able to download apps (and vice-versa), but so far, neither of these applications/features is working for me.
The latest install I've tried is XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.FRX01.17.09.10.UPDATE_PACKAGE.7z and it still has this problem.
Has anybody else gotten around this problem and have some advice???
I tried using my phone to create a new google account, and that worked, but I still couldn't download.
Happened to me as well. I just forgot about it, and after a while I got an alert that one of the apps is now installed (and indeed working). The other apps on the list hanged as well, and took a lot of time to start downloading.
Seems like a nasty bug to me.
it's a small comfort to know I'm not alone, but I still haven't seen anything download successfully, and as long as I can't install new apps (from the market), there's really no point in using [XD]Android.
Try settings/applications/manage applications/market 'all tab' and force stop. Clear cache. Clear data. So next time you use market it is like new and downloads and installs without hanging etc. Your downloads tab should still have a record of apps you downloaded.

thanks anunna, but that didn't work. I tried downloading the apks for App Brain and the associated "Fast Web Installer" and copying to my device (storage card), but that doesn't seem to work any better. I guess those apps still depend on Android Market to download.
aarrrrrghh. so frustrating... I have now installed Rhod.2.2BLAZN.092610 with the new builds from 9/25 (hw 3d included), and still have this problem. Does anybody have any ideas?? I dont' see how this could be device-specific. ?? I've tried different gmail accounts, different builds, and different wifi networks. The only thing I haven't tried (and can't really) is accessing market over 3G. I say "can't" because I actually have a data-block on my phone to prevent unintentional use and associated charges.
Does anybody have any advice for troubleshooting ?
thanks.
BTW, this is what worries me about WP7: one source for all your apps = single point of failure.
I'll just keep updating my own thread here...
Installed the latest build from 9/28, and nothing's changed.
This time, I went straight into Google Talk and got stuck on the "signing in" screen. Eventually it came back with a message stating, "Could not connect to server. Will retry shortly." This is bogus though, since I can do nearly everything else on the internet, via my wifi connection.
I have the same problem. Android Market doesn't download any software, "Starting Download..." stage never ends...
ashway, have you tried opening Google Talk? Also, do you have a data plan on your phone (3G)?

I haven't try Google Talk yet, will try later. I do have a data plan, do you mean that Market works via 3G and doesn't through WiFi?
I have a data-block on my phone (so I don't accidentally rack up per Kb charges), so I access everything via WiFi. I've seen people suggesting that toggling between wifi or cellular can get it to work, but that's not an option fo me.

I have tested 3G data connection and Market works just fine, but still no success via WiFi.

BOO! so, I'm out of luck??
(thanks for your update though)
Has anybody been able to download from A.M. over WiFi without ever using 3g?
It just happened to me while i'm updating a few apps. I did some research and found an article and follow that way. what you need to do is to un-install the app that you're updating. after that, forced close the Market app and clear the cache. then try again to install it from market. well, it works for me.
by the way, there's also another bug that make Market FC every time when u download an app. if it happen to you, just open Setting>Applications>Manage Application> Market and click "Uninstall Updates".
I am in Malaysia and I have this problem too. It is either "Starting Download...", "Download Unsuccessful" or "Download Paused" message.
I'd tried both 3G (3 different telcos; Vodafone while in NZ, Optus while in AU and Maxis in MY)and WiFi (different AP; at least 10). While connected, I can do everything except for download apps from Market. Also tried signing in different Gmail account.
Being desperate, I tried to install Apps via "adb install" command. Guess what, I couldn't uninstall my apps (both using "adb uninstall" and "Settings > Application > AppName > Uninstall"). It force close everytime I tried.
I got OTA updates for FRG83 twice hoping it will fix my Market problem, but it did not install because it can't. When I tried sdcard:update.zip, I got status 7 error. Some livewallpaperspicker.odex error. Tried searching for the odex but couldn't find one specifically for Nexus One.
Also tried rooting my phone and install ROM Manager. Performed a Fix Permission issue (which it claims often fix Force Close message; one friend recommended this too) and all I got is "An error occurred while attempting to run privellege...". I am sure it is rooted with Superuser Permissions showing "Allow" status. To confirm, I had Move2SD installed and able to port most apps to SD without the developer setting the option.
Just want to share this with all of you that have this problem. Is there anyone can help? The only thing that makes me keep this phone is because its a gift from my wife. Or else I would just get something else.
guys I have the same problem as you do! something I noticed though is that the phone doesnot recognise my SD card and market is downloading the apps on the card . can you pls check your sd card if they are mounted and recognized propperly!
restarting the phone and letting the card mount propperly fixed the adnroid market download freeze issue

brafun, are you using XDAndroid on a TD2/Pure? Were you experiencing problems only when using wifi? do you have a cellular data plan/connection? Does wifi download work now? I'm a bit confused, since XDAndroid is installed on my SD, I don't see how you can have Android running without recognizing it.
thanks

Your guess is as good as mine but the fact is that when I was trying to download an app the behaviour was exactly the same as you described it! It said Starting Download and froze at that point. Cleaning the Cache of market didnt help at all. THen I just started looking for reasons why is this happening, and in "SD card and phone storage" I saw that the SD card was marked as not mounted... check yours and see what it says
So i had posted before that I was having issues with my Google services. I was unable to get into Play Store, Gmail, Hangouts, anything that goes through a Google server. I tried wiping everything, force stopping, clearing cache, all the basic fixes. It worked again after I would flash a new ROM for a while. Nobody could figure it out. Samsung was stumped, AT&T was stumped, and a few guys on here were stumped. AT&T sent me a new phone and things were working great. Rooted, ROMd, everything. Went about using my phone as normal. Then, a couple days ago, the same thing started to happen.
A thought popped into my head today. On all ROMs I tried to use I always installed Freedom for free in-app purchases. I also installed it on this phone, but only on the custom ROM. I have been using the stock ROM perfectly. I went into Freedom and stopped it properly by pulling up the settings menu and hitting Stop. Then I uninstalled it. Straight away I went to Play Store and I had access again. Same for Gmail.
So my assumption is that Freedom caused the issue. It took a while because I havn't used Freedom in a month or so and the issue just started happening. However, once I removed it properly everything worked fine. When I wiped my old phone I never removed Freedom so i'm not sure if that messed something up that a basic factory reset couldn't fix. The other reason this is an assumption is because I was not able to test this on my old phone. But I figured I would let you guys know. If you have issues with Google services and have Freedom installed, try uninstalling it. But first, MAKE SURE YOU STOP IT FROM THE IN APP SETTINGS!
Hello!
The other day, after updating my Phone to ATT's latest firmware, I realized my root access had been removed. That was the least of my problems, however. I then realized that I couldn't use the Google Play store, as an error would show up saying No Connection. I learned it was a problem with freedom, so I attempted to fix it, but instead settled with wiping my device to get a new start. After backing up my data, I performed a factory reset, and began setting up the device.
Basically, what I'm building up to, is that when I attempted to sign in, an error came up saying Can't establish a reliable connection to the server. I have tried using 2 different WiFi connections and cellular data. I performed a factory reset both through the Samsung settings, and through the Android "Terminal" Accessed through Pressing Home and Volume up during start up. I have nowhere to turn! What can I do to regain connections to the Google servers, or convince my phone that it can connect?

Since you've already wiped your phone and don't have to worry about losing data I would just reflash the firmware.

Thanks, Trying it now, I'll respond with the outcome.
It worked great, thanks so much!
I don't have any restrictions on apps using mobile data but for some reason, I have several apps like gmail and hangouts that won't sync unless on WiFi. Any way to figure out what is causing this? The YouTube app won't work on cell data, only on wifi... that's strange.
Thanks!
It's been happening for me too. I though it was just poor signal, but lately it's been worse.
I'll have 3 or 4 bars and can browse the internet just fine which is strange. I just tried clearing cache to see if that does anything.. I'll report back later
Sound Search is doing the same for me. Also, my phone keeps telling me I'm not signed in to Google when I'm on cell data.
Clearing the cache did not work, I tried deleting data from YouTube and other apps and that didn't work either. I really do not want to do a factory reset.
If you have Gasbuddy installed it might be that. Last week after taking an update for Gasbuddy anything that connected to my phone using it as a hotspot could not get internet access. Didn't make the connection at the time and factory reset my phone and hotspot started working correctly. Started reinstalling apps and when I got to Gasbuddy the hotspot quite again so I uninstalled Gasbuddy and everthing started working again.
That's strange. I don't have that app on my phone but I'll look to see what I recently installed and go from there. Good thinking there though.
Ended up doing a factory reset which worked.
I got my P40 Pro Plus yesterday, pretty flawless install of GMS on the factory .137 firmware. Google Maps is now installed and it kept shutting down, but I was able to get a longer time in between oncr to download a map of a selected area. Afterward and about three restarts of the phone later it worked. All except for voice assistance. The voices is there, as I did a test, but there are no prompts. Has anyone been able to fix this and get the prompts?

I do not have this issue, my GMap / AA voice assistance working fine.
Did you try force close your map, clear cache and data, reboot ?

Yep, a couple of times. The behavior changes, though and it's inconsistent. Right now, the app will open and function so long as I never turn wifi on. The moment wifi goes on, the app shuts off.
If you have any tips on reinstall, I'd be happy to try them out.

Not sure you tried uninstall and reinstall before? Try boot into Recovery Mode and clear cache ?

Yes, reinstalled numerous times, also from APKPure. I reinstalled again after clearing the data and cache and it works fine now,but still no voice assistance,which others widely report as well, including in this very forum. The recovery mode thing you posted sounds sketchy. This is a brand new phone and Google Maps is widely reported throughout the internet as having broken voice assistance.

I think I was very lucky, I got mine in early Sept which is prior to existing GMS method stopped working and near all g. apps working fine.
Fingercross my GMS will not break during firmware OTA update.
Outta nowhere it's working now, no issues. I don't get why sometimes I can't even reopen the app while on wifi to having it work perfectly.
Now to try and figure out how to fix Google Assistant.
