Hi,
I recently got AT&T Nexus one and is on unrooted stock firmware.
I am getting 'Sorry, unable to connect. Please try later.' with a 'Retry now' button.
The internet connection is working fine everywhere else. I can add apps from market, browse using browser, Beautiful widget work fine with weather taken from internet.
Any idea what could have been the issue?Since it is a builtin widget, cache cannot be cleared. Tried everything I can think of, like restarting phone, using 3G, WIFI, EDGE/GPRS connection etc. Still it is unable to connect.
Anyone else has similar issue?
Regards
HAX
I have similar issues. Sometimes I also get the 'Sorry, unable to connect. Please try later.' message but the bigger issue is that the widget force close every time when I try to scroll to Top Stories tab. I can see the headlines changing on my home menu and I can read the news from other tabs but Top Stories and Weather tabs cause force close. If the widget gets stuck to "Loading..." mode I just remove it and add it again to my home screen and the headlines are back.
This started when I updated the CM mod from 5.0.4.1-N1 to 5.0.7.1-N1. Now I'm running CM 5.0.8-T4 and the problem persists.
I have tried to clear the application cache, fix permissions, reinstall, clear cache and dalvic cache but no change. Any suggestions?
I just started getting this out of nowhere too.
after i installed beautiful widgets 2
Getting same thing. Outage? I just flashed to bugless beast .2 (froyo 2.2). Just started today!
Same here.... getting the msg "Sorry, unable to connect. Please try later"
Running Stock 2.1 update 1
I'm also experiencing the same problem. It just says 'sorry but cannot connect to network'. I haven't done any changes with my rom cm5.0.7.1 neither have I added any apps. Wondering if this could be Google server problem any ideas?
Same problem here. Just started yesterday. Unrooted running 2.2. This is a bummer I used this widget pretty frequently. Has anyone found a solution yet?
same problem here running cm t5
same here
Same here, must be a server issue- panic over lol

look in settings.
if you look in the setting for the news it should have erased your topic selections
"Sorry network error. Please try again later."
I downgraded to eclair on a t-mobile unrooted nexus one for unrelated issues and still had the error, now I'm back on 2.2 FRF50 unrooted and still experiencing the issue. It must be a server issue at google.
Same problems here also; I am on AT&T. Does this app use Google's servers? Just wondering.

I am having the issue with 2.1 on AT&T Nexus one.
I dont have Beautiful widgets. So I dont think that is causing the issue.
I tried it on Wifi too and still have the issue. So could not be an issue with any blocked ports.
It loads the terms of service of google news under settings. So,it is strange why its not loading news.
Hope Someone has a solution.
Started having similar issues today, and can't even get it to refresh
A friend of mine has a nexus one as well so I asked him to load the widget and his works fine. Makes me think its not a server issue.
Seems a bunch of google services are acting up. Android development site has missing videos.
*sniff* *sniff*
Smells like an incoming update.
I miss this app =(
My credit cards don't accept overseas apps (beautiful widgets) so i'm hoping this comes back soon.
you sure
are you guys sure cuz i just tired the news and weather app and widget. n it worked fine. im on 2.2 on nexus one.
but this did happen to me once. i remembered that i had my gps turned off.
i think it was in setting --> location & security.
i hope that helps.
Has anyone tried Navigon on their Captivate? I remember seeing some speculation that apps that rely on Google Maps may have bad tracking due to software. Just curious how well Navigon performs before I plunk down the cash.
the new version of Navigon that came out yesterday, actually runs on a map pack you download. It even says to make sure your on wifi in the app description on the market.
My GPS on my Captivate hasn't been as bad as some. While using Google Nav, I'll occasionally get the dreaded blue circle, but for the most part, it keeps me on the road.
I bought this yesterday and had it download the maps. I used it for a 30 minute drive to work and it worked good for me. It kept me on the road, didn't lag and had accurate maps (since they're NAVTEQ like Garmin uses). Halfway here, the app did close and restart itself and I had to re-select my destination. Not sure what happened there, but I'll try it on my way home again too.
Its got some nice features. It announces street names like Google Nav (CoPilot doesn't do this I don't think). It has Google Live Search for POIs, which is a HUGE plus for me instead of relying on a static database. Has red light camera alerts and quite a few other features.
i use navigon on daily basis and i love it. better than any other navigation software for android.
Just got the Navigon app. Love it!!!
Here's my take: all features aside, it seems to be better at dealing with Samsungs funky GPS than Google Navigation.
With Google navigation, I'd be driving and all of a sudden it'd think I was a block laterally and it'd wreak *havok* on my turn by turn directions. This is called losing a lock.
With Navigon, didn't happen in my 30min test in downtown Chicago. my phone acted just like the iPhone I had before it.
I don't think this app fixed GPS. I think it just knows how to deal with crummy hardware / drivers

Installed tonight...45 min drive...quick/basic eval...
There are features I like about this, and in my basic test tonigh, I have not been able to test some of the 'fancy' features mentioned above. Here are some initial thoughts:
The Good
Much more pleasant voice
I loved the fact that it put up a speed limit sign in upper right, showing the speed limit of the street I am on. Updated immediately when SL changed
As others above said, it seems to definitely handle the funky Captivate GPS better
Seemed to get directions faster, and update faster when not following directions, than Google Nav
It does have a Google Search for POIs, although I found it did not bring up a complete list. For example I searched for Walmart. There are 2 in my town, and it brought up only the one closed to me, which is a much smaller one than the other
The Ugly
It did not consistently say street names. In fact most of the time it didn't
If you moved to another app, or if my music player came in front, the NAV stopped working. When I switched back to it, it had to re-load or something (had a wait type message) and then had to reroute
When playing through my Motorola 505 through to radio, the voice played on both the phone and BT, and this phone (maybe all Android phones, I don't know) has a delay at teh bluetooth, so it sounded like an echo
The map had almost none of the streets named as you drove. It just listed the next turn street listed. It didn't even indicate what street you are driving on.
My comparison software would be Google Nav, of course, and also TomTom on Winmo, which I used over the past 3 years. There are features in Navigon that are not in either of those, but for the basics, it doesn't, IMO, come close to Google, nor my OLD TomTom.
My need for this would really be only to have a backup solution should I go somewhere that I cannot receive data for Google. I am undecided whether to keep it or return and hope TomTom is better, whenever it comes out.
I must admit though, one thing that this product, I belive like the others above, may not put me on wrong streets like happesn with the Google Nav. But then, I haven't tested it that much yet.
google has 24 hours refund. is it really easy for refund? i wanna give navigon a try
I just returned mine a couple hours ago.
Typically, you get a notice right when you uninstall "Your account will be credited", or something like that, but I didn't. So it had me worried.
but in about 5 min I received an email from Google Checkout that my account would not be charged.
Its as easy as uninstalling the app.
I decided to give it a shot. It never found me on my entire drive home. I'm running a fresh install (as of this morning) of Cognition 2.2 beta 9.1.3.
I told it to display map, and it just had some random map scene and a red bar across the top that had GPS in all caps. After a while, I hit the menu key, GPS-Info, and it has my Lat and Long at all zeros.
Not sure what to do other than take solace in knowing I'll have a working Navigon in my future Android handsets. I was too trusting of it and didn't test it within the initial 24 hours, so there's no refund button.
When I tested with it, it was a bit slow to get a hook, but I kicked off GPS Status, and it got a hook pretty quick, then Navigon did too. After that, the few times i used it, it hooked up OK.
my complain is that it has no ROUTE listing! i probably going to uninstall it and get refund. let say i dont want to use freeway 101 and use freeway 80 instead. but you cant! cus there is no route listing!

When I first put in my destination it gives me a list of 3-4 routes and I can select the one I want, otherwise after about 10 seconds, it defaults to the My Route (orange) one.

Have you tried other GPS apps to get a lock? That is more like a phone/ROM issue than an app issue. Try Google Maps, or download GPS Status from the Market and try that one.
I'm on Cog 2.2 Beta 9 and it works here. If you turn on all the location assists in the settings, it should help you get a faster lock. You could also check out the Jupiter files in the Dev forum. Get v006 and copy the 3 files and reboot...it might help.
Some people have no luck getting a lock without messing with settings or files, and using a different app usually doesn't change that.
I just rooted my TB last nite with no problems. Once the phone boots up the HTC clock and my Maps apps show the wrong location. Also, I had purchased Moola! Platinum Edition which I bought before I rooted and showed up fine in the Market Place, now it doesn't show up and I can't install it! Any help would be appareciated! Sorry if this is the wrong forum to drop this, I'm new to the forums.
Are you connected to WiFi by any chance? When I am, my location shows my old house even though I haven't loved there in months.
For your app, it may be because the Thunderbolt is new, a different resolution, or due to it being on HTC.

Problem fixed. I apparently missed a step in the root process. I went back and re-rooted and now everything is fine.
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....
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.
