Is there any known issue with chrome 2 phone and cyanogen?

Wow kind of glad I wasnt the only one with this issue. How to we tell Cyan?

Well, that.
Mine hasn't worked for quite a while now, and I always have my gapps updated. It just keeps crashing every time I try to send any linkto my phone.

Not having much success with it either... Message says sent to phone, but my phone never responds.
Used to work perfectly, so I don't think it CM in general, but maybe the more recent builds?

Its wierd with this issue, sometimes it works(since loading cm6 rc1 it works...sorta) sometimes it doesnt or just takes a while to receive. Im not a tech genius by any means so i dont know for sure why it happens but the issue is present.

Are you guys in an area with bad reception? Mine works instantly.

doesn't work for me either.
on a separate note, I hate the chrome to phone browser extension because it doesn't remember login credentials

+1 It's really badly implemented. It's often more effective to send the link via email...

Works fine here on CM6.1

Force closes every time i try and send something. But i found if i get it to send the notification, rather than automatically launch, the notification stays and is still usable.

I found a fix/workaround. Try assigning a notification sound (you don't actually have to turn notification sounds on). Once I did that, the crashing stopped. It works even with auto launch enabled.

i just cleared Chrome to Phone data and re-connected with my account, and all is well

[issue] Google.com not loading while in 3G

I have an issue here where Google.com doesn't load when the revolution is in a 3G area. It will only load Google.com when it's in a 4G network. I talked to a tech guy from Verizon Wireless who happens to have the same phone and his phone does the same thing when the phone is in 3G mode.
I was wondering if the owners of this phone can do a little test for me to see if your Revolution behaves the same way.
Instructions:
1. Go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> System Select -> Network Mode
2. Change Network Mode to "CDMA Only"
3. The Phone should restart
4. Turn on the browser
5. Go to google.com
6. See if it loads
This definitely will help me and all the other owners of this phone that may have this issue. My assumption is that our phones may be faulty on the old 3G networks. The VZW tech got a Samsung Charge on his desk and the website loaded perfectly fine under 3G mode so the network theoretically is all good.
If the phone turns out to be faulty, we all may have a phone that was partially broken the whole time.
Also, if your phone does behave this way, DO NOT EXCHANGE THE PHONE. I already have and it behaves the same way.
Note: The exchanged phone HAS NOT been rooted yet. Rooting doesn't appear to have any affect on the browsing capability.
EDIT: You may have to clear the cache because the browser may bring up the page from old data. Gmail.com doesn't work as well through the browser.

Testing now. Will edit this when I find out. Also, this will prolly get moved to general. Fair warning.
EDIT: I loaded Google just fine. and I only had 1 bar of service in 3G compared to the 2 bars I get with 4G in my house. That is kinda weird to me but whatever

oh my bad.... haha

Works fine here for me too. Maybe a little slower, but it still loads.

I am in a 3G only area with wifi turned off...Google did load, albeit very slowly. other pages are loading pretty quickly...

...we all do have a partially broken phone, but, it is what it is. on my phone, using the official Twitter app, bit.ly links will not work on 3G or WiFi with 3G radio on... they sit for days... but on 4G, and wifi with 3G radio turned off works as expected...
on topic: every once and again, google is stupid on all android phones i've had, (droid 2, x, evo, incredible, and this one) it's set to my home page, and what I do is i hit menu>>windows>> and then close the current window with nothing loaded. usually google then loads right up.

true true... but I expect Google.com to at least work on all networks. It is a Google phone.

You are very wrong grasshopper. It is not a google phone. If you will note, it is loaded with Bing. It's a move to try to get away from the Google apps, due to crap that is above everyone's pay grade. There is stuff Google is dabbling in, that some companies don't entirely appreciate. Everything from their Earth program to geopolitical stuff.
As far as your issue, I don't have it either. I cleared the history and cache from my stock browser and Dolphin Browser. And then went in to the stock browser and loaded Google.com just fine.
As far as my messaging post here (in the development section) it must have just been the aliens, cuz now my messaging is working fine.
I have yet to find my phone's "issue"

I have noticed this as well. Google reader and google voice apps do not work for me unless I am on wifi. All other apps/websites seem to work fine.

I have noticed that google.com is slow all the time on my phone. I'm in a 4G area. I was just about to load the decrappified ROM to see if it fixed the problem.

Search for "set dns" on google market. I had sort of the same problem and using this solved it. In a nutshell, the DNS entry that came shipped on the phone doesn't work for 3g. Setting it to google DNS or OpenDNS solved the issue immediately. I'll have to find the article where I found this solution, I'll post the link when I find it again.

What I meant to say is, the Android platform was designed by Google. The Bing add-ins is an unfortunate extra that can't be changed by a novice user. The situation is kinda like having a Windows 7 computer that can't go on microsoft.com.

Good find. Fixed my google+ app not working. I was getting constant unable to contact servers. Changed out the DNS and the app and data came up almost instantly.
H.

Good Find. Not sure if its speeding anything up. I've had to switch to Opera Mini because of horrendous connectivity issues with the stock browser, XScope? I'm hoping maybe this will speed up connections. Biggest complaint besides battery life I have about this phone. Using a browser is not a pleasant experience. If anyone has any suggestions to make that experience good, I'll take them.

It worked for a few hours, now its super slow again.

Personally I use Dolphin broswer. Me and all of my Android using buddies feel that its faster and smoother than any of the other broswers. Hope this helps your issue.

Dolphin hd is what I use

Oh, right. I should clarify: this doesn't actually "speed up" your connection. It keeps your phone from having to wait until it's (bad) dns query times out. While this will resolve the slow downs caused by dns queries, it won't fix any other cause.

Lost data/internet today...verizon rep hard reboot

So today my data/internet 3g went down...I could receive calls send texts but no 3G verizon rep needed with my cell for a while kept going on how task killer and lookout was bad for my cell and was likely causing the problem...whatever I said and he couldn't figure it out do he hard reset...guy mentioned saving apps to SD card so here come
My noob question how do I save my apps to SD cars? And had anyone had 3g loss issues like I did today?

My Back up
Get https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackup&feature=search_result. Backs up everything to mem card including sms and call records. Warning do not back up contacts or calender. If they are already synced to google or BUA you will get duplicates.

Nice thanks for tip

Don't bother with the hard reset. I tried it, it didn't work. I still lose 3g frequently.

I had that issue yesterday in Michigan. So far so good today.

Same here
I am losing 4g/3g pretty frequently now as well. When it goes off, it doesnt seem to want to come back - but a reboot does it.
The only thing I have kinda noticed is that if I am wifi, then leave the wifi area (thus disconnecting) it tends to drop the 4g as well and wont reconnect. I'll have to test this some more, but thats all I can tell so far.

I am having the same problem as you, between changing back and forth from wifi to 4g and loosing all connectivity besides voice. My girlfriend has a bionic as well and has no problems whatsoever. I also do have lookout installed and she doesn't so I will try uninstalling that to see if it help and check back. But it might be a faulty phone since my girlfriend is having none of my numerus problems. dropping 3g/4g, wifi super slow when my other verizon phone is having no problems with connectivity with 3g/wifi. randomly locks on me while Im using the phone and the timeout is set at 10 minutes. And one time it totally turned off, not even just a reboot. Anyways back to the connectivity, I will try uninstalling lookout and report back! Hopefully that works.

i think verizon is working on their towers and 4g as ive had alot of data issues too until yesterday when it seemed to resolve itself.

Hmm so it may be lookout... Well I installed it again so let's see how it goes on the wifi speed I had the problem the first day I connected to my home connection but as of late its all good. Is anyone else running lookout? Post what up with your bionic running lookout. The rep did say it might be just my cell in particular but seems I might not be the only one I guess will update as day goes

Ive been having the same problem with 3g. I stay on wifi most of the time but whenever I do have to leave the house or work, I will lose 3g at first.
At first, the only way I could find to fix it was with a power cycle. Since then, Ive discovered that turning on and off airplane mode seems to do the trick.
Next time you guys are having trouble, try toggling airplone mode once or twice. That has worked for me everytime.
It's not convenient, but I'm sure there is a fix in the works.

Oh nice i had tried to toggle airplane mode but just once ill give that a shot if i loose 3G again so far last night after hard reset and as of this morning everything running good even with lookout running... Might not even be lookout
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

It is definitely not lookout. Or any other useless battery drainer. Toggling airplane mode, rebooting, etc do nothing for me. It decides when it wants to come back.

I have had the same issue once today. It was alot more yesterday.
If it keeps up, I'll be taking it back.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

Airplane toggle hasnt done the trick for be. Just as a shot in the dark, I removed juice defender. I do not think that is the culprit here, but anything that controls my radios is suspect at this point.

Huh i just thought about something yesterday in the morning i saw a post Bout someone developing an fm radio app and thinking about it now after i installed it thats when i started having issues... Just throwing that out there i didnt even use it though but i havent re installed it either so i dont know if that even the problem

I am not rooted yet and haven't applied any hacks/tweaks. My data connection drops whether Im in a 4G or 3G area, automatic or CDMA only.
Seems to happen randomly although this last time it happened after unplugging the Bionic from charging. Toggling airplane mode restores data temporarily. Verizon will probably issue an OTA update soon to fix this but I hope it doesn't break the root exploit or I won't install. Once we have a working ClockworkMod recovery the ROM chefs should be able to fix this...

I heard the verizon rep say that his bionic did the same thing when it was charging via computer because it was in debug mode so you might want to look into that if you charging via a computer... Maybe?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

I've been experimenting a bit today and it seems that anytime my phone switches between data types, the signal goes down until a power cycle or toggling airplane mode. It happens the most when my phone goes from wifi to 3g. Whenever I leave my wifi area (work or home), the phone fails to find a 3g connection. This also happens if I manually turn off Wifi. If I've been on a wifi connection for a good amount of time and then disconnect the wifi, the phone won't find 3g.
Not sure if it has to do with my settings, but figured I'd mention them here.
Most of the time, I am in a 3g area so I keep my phone on cdma only unless I'll be traveling to a 4g area. Not sure if changing the settings to CDMA/LTE will change anything but I'm going to try that next.
Anyway, this is definitely something that needs to be brought up with both Verizon and Motorola. The more people who notice and say something, the faster we'll get a fix...at least in theory.
I switched to Verizon from Sprint and I'm not going back. Despite the issues, Verizon's 3g has been 5-6 times faster than the 3g I got with Sprint. Besides that, I should have 4g by the end of the year and the 25 Mbps down I am getting in surrounding 4g areas is killer. Just hope my switch to Verizon wasn't in vane. There isn't another phone on their network that even looks halfway appealing at this time and I can't wait a month for the Vigor or anything else to come out. Plus I like motorola build quality. So, let's hope a DEV or Motorola and Verizon gets this fixed on the fly cause its definitely an annoying issue.
Anyhow, if anyone finds a workaround or solution to this better than toggling airplane mode, please let us know. Starting to get tired of pulling out my phone looking for something, only to find out that I don't have data.

latest OTA update = no wifi

Is anyone else having issues today? I ran MN on my mom's Nook Color a while back, and today my dad called me and said it's not working. Im not sure which version of MN is on there, but I did whatever was posted (i searches and can't find the old thread) when the last OTA update went out. In any case, the problem she is having is with the wifi. Apparantly, she can get to the "view networks" screen on the initial boot up screen but cannot connect to any networks. I'll have to take a look at it tomorrow, but I figured I would get a head start here to see if anyone else has this issue, or is it just me. Thanks.

Did you try deleting all the connections and rebooting?

Sometimes even the reboot isn't needed. Last time I had connection issues, they stopped as I was deleting old wifi profiles.

I haven't had the device in my hands yet to take a look, but my dad said he deleted the wifi connection and set it up again and now it works, but now he said it is wiped out, as in all the books and apps that were on there are now gone. Could an OTA update cause this or did it just crash for some unknown reason? I'm going to see my parents tonight so I'll have a look for myself.

[Q] Problems on 3G

Hey guys. First of all, I do have a working connection, but there's one problem though. Whenever my phone is on mobile data, some apps just work weird.
Gtalk: I am signed in, chatting with someone, then I put the phone away for a few minutes. The next time I check Gtalk, it is offline. It doesn't even want to get online until I turn 3G off and back on or I restart the app, then it works for a while (random) and then happens again.
Facebook: I browse the news feed and at some point (random) when i reach the bottom of the page and it should load the earlier posts, it just rolls the little circle but nothing happens. Closing the app and restarting it solves the problem, but again, temporalily.
Life is Magic (game): It can hang anytime between loading the levels or whenever it needs data connection.
Whenever these things happen, and I fire up the browser, it works... but despite that, Gtalk still wouldn't go online until I restart it. This happened on every every JB (LPY,LPQ,LQB) so far. I am using CoCore kernel, no other mods.
Thanks for help or any ideas!

Same problem here with gtalk . It has been offline on all version and combination of JB and kernels.can someone provide me stock gtalk app.so that I can re install

you can download a google apps package from here: http://goo.im/gapps
i tried that one too though, still the same. the problem is with the way certain apps using mobile networks, i believe. it doesn't happen on wifi.

Guys, really no one else uses Google Talk?
Still, I believe the problem is with 3G.

Yeah, like you guys said, this happens to me on every official firmwares and only when I'm on 3g. (Just noticed now that you guys mention it)
I had to turn off and on the 3g for it to be active again. I don't use gtalk but it happens with gmail, stock email, fb, xda-app and tapatalk too among others.
As mentioned, it's totally random and usually happens when left by itself for a while. Until now, the only workaround I used is like you guys, just to turn it off and on again.
Until now I thought it was a problem with my ISP but guess it wasn't.
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda premium

probably not. but still, turning it on and off doesn't solve the problem because Gtalk goes offline after a while and I don't receive messages which is the whole pont
also, facebook app stops refreshing the news feed as I scroll down...

up...
does anyone have a solution yet? are there others affected?

UPDATE: i went back to Gingerbread thinking that it will solve my problem. But that just doesn't happen, gtalk goes offline, i am not getting facebook messages etc,etc...
I think I should take this phone to the service.
