google maps error:"this application requires a data connection" - Desire General

Hey guys, i've just received my desire today and been using my current data connection with no problem, except every time i try to open google maps, it comes up with the error "this application requires a data connection". I have updated the firmware to the lastest.
I have searched for this error but the only thing that will come up is about a data connection being dropped when trying to use google maps/gps... except my data connection stays 4 bars the whole time.
thanks, Brandon

Brandon, does the data connection works again after you stop Google Maps (without a reboot) ?

Brandon,
I did a hard reset (return to factory settings ) on my Desire today and guess what:
Both my Data problems (no data after use of Wifi and or GPS) are gone !
Tested several times Wifi & GPS , also did a reboot and tested again, all seems working again, no more 3G data problem anymore.
So I guess one of the extra apps I installed caused the 3G Data Connection issue.
I'll reïnstall them one by one to see if I can catch the "guilty" one.
I also hope that problem doesn't return after a while without a cause.

Still not working

I have tried this method. Everything was fine - my phone (rooted Samsung galaxy core duos JB 4.1.2) got faster. But google maps can't connect. I am stuck at the screen where you have to accept the terms and coditions (as it is launched for the first time).
Hope someone has encountered and fixed this error.

No Data Connection rooted evo4g

I've had my Evo rooted for quite a long time now. All of a sudden I have lost my data connection. It happened maybe 3 days after flashing MIUI 1.7.8 I can browse the web just fine, every website loads perfect. Only thing issue with browsing is that embedded flash videos will not load.
The Netflix app, NHL gamecenter, ROM Manager, and all other apps that use data do not work properly. They say there is no data connection and will not work.
I tried flashing back to CM7.1 and have the same problem. Has never done this before. All mobile data settings seem to be ok.
If I go to mobile networks and turn data off and then right back on, data will work for maybe 30 seconds to a minute then not connect anymore.
Anyone ever experience this problem before?

I lost data on my Hero once, I simply called Sprint and told them my situation, leaving out the fact that I was rooted, and they reset my data profile over the air. Had me reset it on the phone, and everything worked perfectly again.
Yea Just call Sprint. They need to reset ur profile.
lost connection
Same problem but I have been on metro pcs for about a year.

WiFi / Router connection problem ! SOLVED

Here is the issue I am having with my Galaxy Nexus while connected to the wifi / router (2Wire Bell Canada) at home
All happened 3 days ago when I was trying to open the play store and noticed that it stucked on the loading... screen
till it gave the connection timed out error.(Never happened before)
I tried to open the browser and been able to browse light sites..Heavy ones though were taking forever to open and
everything that need " sign in " as hotmail..(from the browser) didn't open at all giving an error of not connected to a network.
I run a speedtest >
Download : 6.2 mbps (I have 7 mbps plan) - Upload (took forever to load) : 0.03 mbps (I have 0.7 mbps plan)
Strange enough that next day I tried the above at work over wifi and all worked smoothly !
Tried over 3G and all worked smoothly as well ... !
Went back home, connected to wifi and same issue.., play store stucked on the loading... screen and all the above.
Note that I didn't change any settings neither on the phone or the router... except few updates for my installed apps.
I cleared data / cache of the play store, fastboot erase cache, changed channels on the router but nothing helped !
I was thinking of factory reset or reflashing ...but since it is working at work and over 3G I don't see the point of doing that...
Any help/suggestion will be appreciated.
Thank you,
i have almost the same issue here, but mine is with additional problems like :
"i experiencing extreme slowdowns
- ui is very smooth for the most part, but some actions just have the phone freeze for 5-20(!) seconds
- several (most) apps keep getting the "is not reacting"-screen, even when i'm not using the device
- this freezing sometimes results in complete lockups of the device, device is running but doesn't react to the power button to turn screen on/off (either at all, or for around 20 seconds).
- just extremely slow wifi connection take me forever to download anything."
thing i did :
factory reset, wipe everything , reset everything , tried different roms (4.1.2 ; 4.2 )
the interesting part is when i'm not connected to a wifi i don't experience these problems ..
thanks if someone reply.
and thanks for letting me use this thread.

I tried many tricks without any success ... I wonder if it is related to the internet speed especially that while using my phone at work (extreme high speed connection) I have no problems at all - But at home with a regular high speed connection I have all the problems : can't open the play store stucked on loading, very slow browsing, network timed out ...etc.
Does anyone tried with a higher speed internet connection ? ... what speed are you getting on your phone when all these problems occured...
Thank you,
One thing that most people don't know about it is wifi channels. I had the same issue with my phone not to long ago. None of my PCs were affected by this, so I checked the WiFi channels been use by my neighbors and I found 3 WiFi signals( including my) using channel 6. This is means trouble so I changed my to channel 11 and problem solved. It doesn't mean you r having the same issue but worth a try. Download a WiFi utility software if you wanna check.

Thanks for your input...I tried that too with no luck ! ...But it is true that sometimes changing channels helps solving such issues.
Hello All,
after debating to find a fix for the issues I was having with my Galaxy Nexus and the Wifi / Router (Bell Canada) - Read issues in the first post.
I called Bell for the 3rd time and I was lucky to talk to a smart agent who told me that the problem is from Bell - They are having issues connecting to the https sites (secure sites) and they are indeed working to solve the problem as soon as possible !
So if Bell Canada is your internet provider and having problems connecting to the play store (which needs access to username/password), slow internet browsing, etc... hopefully everything will get back to normal soon !
Cheers,

One X Wifi Problems After 4.2.2 Update

Hello, i know this has been discussed here before, but i wanted to ask for help anyway. My Wifi was working perfectly fine on Android 4.1, but after this update to 4.2.2 its really bad.
I know its software issue, pressing right top corner of my HOX doesnt help at all. I tried factory reset, but it didnt help. I´m running official ROM and no root. The problem is that sometimes when i have full signal strenght, the wifi speed is still horrible (like 0.5mb on 10mb wifi).
Any suggestions what to try? Thanks a lot

I have exactly the same problem. All HTC customer service suggested was factory reset, tried that and no difference. On 4.1 it worked fine on my wifi at home throughout the house, now on 4.2, works ok downstairs but useless upstairs even when it says I have 4 bars of signal. Very one times flaky though and sometimes drops to 1 or none. This is a disaster as I understand there is no way to roll back to 4.1. This is unbelievable!! How can an official update totally break basic functionality with no way back!? Searched all over Internet to find a solution and no luck, even though a fair few people seem ro have this problem. Is not a hardware problem, as OP, squeezing top right makes no difference. Have tried static IP, doesn't help. Desperate for help, can any wise heads on here suggest anything? Thanks!
So wish I had not updated, it worked brilliantly before.
Same situation here after the update... With full signal keep having horrible Wifi speed... :'(

Do you have the same problem 4play975? Seems quite a few people do..! As per OP my phone is not rooted and don't want to root it really.
Any chance anyone can suggest any other solutions to try?
Failing that, some details on what Richmondos fix is would be useful!!
Yeah, I really dont want to root my phone too, because i have warranty for more than 1 year now and I will sell the phone in future, so I dont wanna risk loosing warranty..
I also have similar problem! But it varies, sometimes it's bad and sometimes not??? Phone is stock and locked and don't want to unlock and install custom stuf, until warranty period is over.
Hello to all
I have the same wi-fi problem on my HTC One X since I made the update.
Is there any way to solve this?I hope so, because Wi-Fi signal is very bad, and I use it a lot of time.
I have CWM recovery installed,bootloader unlocked, and s-on, recently I have rooted my phone,
but at this moment is not.
I dont care installing new kernel, radio,etc........I just want to solve this problem :crying:
Tanks to all
I have a problem with my wifi too since the Andriod 4.2.2 and Sense 5 update, but it seems to be a bit different from yours. The speedtest.net app and the ping & DNS app give the same results as my PC that is hard wired to the router, so speed and ping seem to be fine.
But I get errors like Connection Problem Authentication via the proxy server was unsuccessful - but I don't use a proxy server. In the HOX wifi settings for that router the Proxy settings are Manual, Proxy hostname 127.0.0.1 and proxy port 3128. Are these correct for when there is no proxy? If switch from Manual to None and go back in then it has gone back to those settings.
Another error is Connection Problem this page contains too many server redirects. But the page displays fine if I switch to mobile data.
Or I get Connection Problem there was a network error. Again it works fine on mobile data.
Then there are some webpages that give a 404 page cannot be found error. Again it works fine on mobile data.
Some of these problems are repeatable on the same webpages across different routers in different buildings.
Sometimes when connecting to a router the HOX connects and the loses the connection and then reconnects up to 10 times before settling on the connection.
Like you I would rather not root etc if possible.
So, noone know a solution for users without root? I found out that on some wifi (in school), it works quite fine even on worse signal. But before update, it was ok on every wifi..
Hi
i have the same problem with my wlan connection. Nearly 100kb/s.
I had tested my internet download speed on my computer and takes interesting information:
my internet connection is 70MBit, this means i can download with nearly 8,2 MB/s.
If my HOX is not connected to the router, the whole downloadspeed is available on the computer. But if the HOX is connected, the downloadspeed is only 1 MB/s.
After disconnecting and rebooting the router, the internet connection is as well as before.
Does anyone makes the experiences?
regards
Daniel
I don't have the speed problems, Speedtest.net app gives the same results on my HOX as my PC.
One of my wifi problems is to do with the Wi-fi connecting to a weak signal instead of the stronger one - I have worked around this by installing WiFi Fixer App which works well at switching to the stronger signal.
Also there are some websites that give errors like Server Error too Many Redirects (for example http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ does that for me) or 404 Error - Page Cannot be Found (http://fahrbot.co.uk/) or are sometimes slow to load - I have found that these issues don't happen with the Opera Mini app, so why does the stock browser give these problems when on wifi, but not on mobile data?
Another one is that if I click a link in a webpage (or type in a URL) that takes me to a webpage that has a mobile version as well as the desktop version I get a strange URL that doesn't work. For example on mobile data typing in www.abmobileapps.com takes me to the mobile version of the website, but on wifi the URL automatically changes to http://www.abmobileapps.comhttp/www.abmobileapps.com/ and the page cannot be found. Again it works in mini Opera on wifi.
WIFI FIX
if you use rooted device, use lyapota mods and flash modpack http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2114584 (contin wififix and other).
for me works great :highfive: (my router has openwrt)
I found out that on some other wifis speed works just fine. I have router D-Link DIR-600 with stronger antenna than it was stock. I use WPA2 security and Dynamic IP.
Is there anything what I should try to fix it? Thanks for any suggestions.
Here are some advices how to fix the WiFi issues - router dependent (need access to the router setup):
1. Make sure that you are not using channel 11-13
2. Disable "WMM Support" in router Wireless -> Advanced Settings. Note: this will force G-only speed (54Mb)
3. You you want to keep the N speed, put your phone in the highest possible QoS priority without disabling the "WMM Support"
Hope this helps

Thanks for the tips...
So, we will change WMM settings for all wifi modems that we connect...
Shame on you HTC...Next time I will ignore HTC while buying a new mobile phone...
after flashing lyopotas mod pack my hox'S wifi seems to work again like it's supposed
maybe it helps
After update,
i can't use my home wifi (Innacomm),using other wifi okay.
conneted but can't surf internet (error 404) but can only use opera mini (very very very slow).
Using other device no problem with the wifi..anyone can help me? TQ :crying:
The problems I am having with proxy and 404 errors are all caused by the Web Protection feature in Kaspersky Internet Security for Android since the OTA to Android 4.2.2 (it worked fine previously). I have installed the latest KIS 11.1.4.141 from the Kaspersky website (because Google Play says it is up to date at version 11.1.3) but the problem still occurs. So I have turned off Web Protection in KIS and all my issues have been cleared up.

Data & GPS broken, can't sign into Google

Cyanogenmod worked perfectly on my SGH-I747 for several months, but then lost capabilities one by one. First my data stopped working for any function despite showing a good connection, but wifi still worked. Then, my gps stopped working intermittently, but was often fixed after updates.
Recently, there has been a notification to "Sign info network: AT&T". While it is always there, attempting to use the GPS definitely causes it if I've removed it. When I select it, my browser is directed to plain google.com, and the bottom prompts me to login, sometimes mentioning GPS. In the past, clicking sign in would instantly restart the device. In the last few weeks, attempting to sign in simply refreshes the page (edit: since I've started writing, when google loads my phone instantly crashes as before). I can't access the play store ("No Connection"), or install apps from my computer. However, already installed apps like chrome still work fine with wifi.
Also, my MMS doesn't work either direction. I've tried clean reinstalls. I've been using CM 10.2.0-RC1. Thanks for any assistance!
Since the problem, have you tried reflashing the ROM with a full wipe to see if that fixes the problem or trying a different ROM?

[Q] Wifi Nightmares

Hello i have a HTC M8 on Telstra (AUS) and im having nightmares with wifi not allowing me to access the play store.
I have tried everything i can find on the internet, just to clarify the play store works perfectly on 4G
I have erased the cache
checked time
restored 3 times
deleted hosts file
flashed ViperM8 incase it was a software issue
just about anything else the internet said it could be, any ideas?

You can connect to everything else on WiFi? Maybe try restarting your router or if worse comes to worse reset it.

Yea everything else works on wifi. I have done a full factory restore on the router and it still doesn't work
You should connect to a different WiFi network (like at work or a friends house) and see if you can access the playstore that way. If you can you'll know its an issue with your router. If you can't it's a problem with the phone.
