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.

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 an AT&T Galaxy Tab, and this has happened twice so far. The first time I was on the stock ROM (rooted only) and one day it wouldn't access the internet through Wifi (I did not have a data plan active at the time, and could not test). It would show up as connected to the access point (tried home router and my Droid 2 through wireless tether), but would not transmit data through. Did some searching, and found a few threads with suggested solutions, but none worked. I bit the bullet and flashed Overcome Jupiter and all was good again. A few days ago, I got a month of data and used it for a few days, then all of a sudden, no data would transfer, even though I had 4 full bars of "H" service. Tried phone tether, home Wifi, nothing works.
Solutions I have tried, wiping data and cache, wiping Dalvik Cache, and all the previous fixes suggested (having to do with IP address allocation and wiping a file on the tab, can't remember which one at the moment).
Does anybody have any ideas what may be happening, and how to fix it? I don't want to have to keep reflashing my Tab every few weeks when data stops working.
Alright, now that I'm home, I also tried applying the Kratos No Wipe thinking maybe there was a file that got messed up that the no wipe zip may fix so I don't lose my data. I guess if nobody knows whats going on with it, I'll have to backup all my data and do a full restock and rewipe.
Did a fresh restock and Kratos Wipe install, and everything works again, wifi and data service. Still don't know what happened though. Guess I should just keep backing up regularly and do a fresh wipe and reinstall whenever I lose service.
Hello everybody on xda first post and it's a problem.
I've recently acquired a Samguns Galaxy S i9000B. First day trying it, everything went perfect, internet conection stable and without problems, everything else good too.
Today I encountered problems with the internet. I can no longar enter the store in my cellphone (Play store), in the internet browser (which is a default by movistar) I can only search for results in google, trying to connect to any other page returns the message "Couldn't connect to the server", whatsapp functions correctly oddly enough.
I have always been connected to the internet thorugh wi fi, which is broadcasted from my modem through a D-Link Dir 320 router, and I don't posses a multimedia plan, i.e. if I don't have access to Wi Fi I don't have acces to internet on my phone.
Lastly i must mention that I had a similar problem on my laptop, and it was solved by changing the MTU value on it.
I've tried the solutions on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790974, however, I can't do what is proposed in the first post due to the fact that My cellphone doesnt have the folder pdp0 and, it doesnt recognize the commands ip link, ip link list or ip link set. I've yet to install Busybox, however if I input ip, a list of possible commands appears, being one of them link, but it doesn't work for me.
All other solutions have been tried, such as restarting cell phone, router, pc, etc. And turning off and on wi fi save energy, etc.
Thanks for your help before hand.

1) Try to toggle Airplane mode and restart phone after a battery Pull and power button press for a min
2) Try Menu>Settings>Application>Manage Applications
Press the Menu button, then Filter, then select Running
Scroll down the list and select Device management.
Under the Storage section, press the Clear data button.
Reboot phone
3) In recovery clear data, cache and dalvik cache
4) a factory reset using settings> privacy will be the final way to solve it (only do this when you have undone any lagfix you may have done FIRST)
If this did not do it, you have no option but to flash an I9000B Rom to resolve it

Thank you for your response.
I would actually like to try some stuff with the router, as it seems this is the root of the problem. A friend of mine came with a smartphone that can "lend" internet (not sure this is the right term). After connecting to the internet his phone was lending me i could enter the google play store, load wikipedia and other pages. So it seems to be the way i'm broadcasting my wi-fi.
Having said that, I'm not sure how to begin because if wi-fi works fine for the laptop, why would it run incorrectly for my Galaxy S? I'm not sure how to modify the router to provoke an imrpovement in the conecction.
Help please? Anyone has any ideas?

google your router brand name, and they will have instructions as to how you can reset your router as well as go into its setup menu by using your web browser
Well.. suprisingly now internet works.... However it was sort of magical.
I applied a factory reset to the router (the options are now similar to the ones I had before), and the internet on my phone had the same problems through all the afternoon... Now, 5 hours later... for no apparent reason (no modifications made)... everything is working fine. I ain't one to argue with a good thing... but I'm seriously in awe wondering how the hell it worked itself out without me doing anything.
Thanks for the help by the way.
If it helps anyone else, I did make one change, however i don't see how it influenced anything. I uninstalled all updates to the google play store (reverted it back to android market) as well as erased it's data and cache.
So, i've had my att s5 for a few months now. It worked fine, no problems at all. But when I got Kitkat 4.4.4, every Google related refused to work. Play Store, Youtube, Chrome, you name it. I tried a whole list of things to try to fix it, including resetting time and date, uninstalling updates, clearing cache, the whole 9 yards. Now i've reset my phone to factory settings, which took a lot to do for me. So I select wifi, agree to the terms and conditions, then TRY to login to my Google account. But now it always tells me that it can't maintain a stable connection. All of my other devices work fine with my wifi, and I even went to a friend's house to try. No luck. At this point my phone is bricked, and need some help. If you have any idea whats going on, or how to fix it, please let me know. Thanks!
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.
