Develop Bugs

Network connection works once than lost (after each restart)

The title pretty much says it all. I tried searching and didnt find a matching issue....I have a Tilt2 (ATT) stock rom.
Yesterday I had issues with hotmail via Windows Live. I would log in and the folders/mail would sync fine. The very next action I took using data would fail (sending an email, another sync/send/receive, using IE-Opera, facebook). The action/request would timeout with a "no network connection".
Most of the time I can access the web/mail by recycling the power. But as before, it quickly loses the connection again.
I spent over an hour with support and tech yesterday. No answers or ideas, just a suggestion I have the device switched out with the ''warranty" dept (which would make it my 5th Tilt2!!!!).
I'm actually waiting to see what android phones come out. I love the keyboard, but dont want to install a custom rom for fear of voiding the warranty and have way too many issues. In the meantime, any ideas on my network issue would be most appreciated.

bump.....
No ideas at all???

Try a FULL HARD RESET.
To perform a hard reset
Access the Settings Tab>All Settings>System>Clear Storage
Follow the onscreen instructions.
OR I believe it's pressing the SEND/END key + Holding down the POWER button and hitting the reset hole should do it. Then VOLUME UP button when asked 'are yo sure' --or something like that.
Let the PHONE install whatever it needs. Once stable, try setting up 1 email account and see what happens.

Push errors? App's crashing? Possible fix!

Howdy!
So- shortly before the NoDo update, I noticed some erratic behavior with some of my apps. For one thing, push notifications for everything that wasn't a phone function seemed to be inconsistent. Secondly, certain apps just wouldn't work (e.g. AP Mobile crashed on launch, Alpha Jax wouldn't show notifications, gReadie, Flixster, AP Mobile and Weather live tiles wouldn't update.)
I did some research and it looks like these errors are related to the "push constipation" issue, where inactive or uninstalled apps with push or live tile function remain in the registry. Now, before NoDo if you had an unlocked device you could install a registry editor and remove some registry entries and the problems were solved... but I decided to wait for NoDo, hoping it would fix the issue but it did not.
So after trying everything, even resetting the phone completely, the issues keep coming back after some time. Until today!
Long story short, for whatever reason, disabling WiFi and cellular data, turning the phone off and then back on, and opening the programs that seem to be having issues while still offline... seems to fix the issue. After turning data back on I can confirm that all of my issues were solved:
AP Mobille tile updates
Alpha Jax notifications come through
gReadie live tile updates
Weather live tile updates
Maybe it's coincidence, but I just wanted to share here so that if any other locked, post NoDo users were having these kind of issues, they could try to fix it.
I was getting super frustrated and hope I can prevent that for some others lol. Good luck!

No go for me...

Alpha Jax from time to time will keep notification on there when in fact there is none, and also from time to time will show no notification when there is one. But on my Arrive after I get a new notification and play the indicator fixes itself, conversely if I have no notification and I have a game to play, if I play out the game, on the next go around the notification works correctly.

AlphaJax keeps giving me the Push Notification error. I tried your method with no luck unless I did something wrong.
I did a hard reset only about 2 weeks ago so this situation is just beyond stupid.

After the NoDo update, my tiles stopped working but using your method worked. I did exactly as you wrote but took an extra step and re-synced my apps that used toast notifications and now they're back. Although, it seems to only work for tiles that use toast notifications because the weather channel tile still has a mind of its own, but that's probably due to pull and not push and I reinstalled AP Mobile but the live tile doesn't work for me.
So Microsoft might be right in that the problem might have to do with some kind of issue with the phone's internet connection instead of the max number of registry entries, or it could be a combo of both??
Either way, thanks dude!

Gus can you post a step by step guide of what you did because I don't get anywhere. Cheers.

I think their problem is different from yours, as I reproduced your problem and this fix won't work for me either. I think there's was just a matter of resyncing the servers after the update while yours is the 'notification constipation' issue. I broke mine purposely, not sure if you remember, and can't get it back. I'm not going to hard reset either as I really don't care, as my main live tile (WeatherBug) still works... But hopefully Microsoft addresses this with a patch. You could always revert back to your back up and unlock as a temporary fix, then reupdate to fix the registry, though I completely agree with you that we shouldn't have to do it, and it shouldn't be an option. I don't think even Microsoft expected the growth it has received, both sales & marketplace wise, or it definitely would have set the limit significantly higher...

Galaxy s3 not connecting to google/some apps when connected on WiFi

Hey guys, I've been searching for problems first before posting but I've yet to find a thread that actually fixes this specific problem. It's a little different than the other threads I've seen. Basically my phone can connect to my interwebs and I can browse webpages on dolphin browser but I can't connect to the play store. I've tried going to the play store on my desktop and trying to download apps to my phone that way but they never start downloading on my phone. I've tried resetting my router, multiple times yet it only worked once and hasn't worked any other trys after that. I've also tried dialing multiple " *# " numbers, some don't even connect and *#0011#* gave me an error about my connectiong and an invalid MMI. My router is secured through a WPA-key. Another thing that just recently started up was that snapchat would give me an error when I open it saying it has stopped working. Unrelated perhaps but maybe not.
I've been able to connect to other routers at other houses and my school, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. I've noticed that when the wifi signal icon turns blue then everything will work. When it's grey, it's a complete toss up on whether it'll work or not.
I'm running Cyanogen Mod 10.2-20130925

If you did a factory reset when you upgraded to 10.2, then there isn't much you can do. If you have not done that, do it.

No, I haven't factory reseted it. I'm trying to avoid any factory resets to lose my information but right about now I'd try anything. Do you have an up to date guide on flashing ROMs and keeping my contacts?

Contacts are synced to your Google account. But you can export them from the contacts app just to be safe.
You can back up user app data with one of the billion back up apps on the market. Only user apps though, never system apps.
This way, you will only need to redo the system settings. Factory reset will make you lose 20-30 minutes if you're slow.

Smart unlock safe places not working?

I can't get Smart unlock to work with safe places. I've set my home address, which shows fine in the list of safe places, and it shows correctly in the map. But the phone keeps asking to be unlocked even if I'm at home.
I've tried rebooting it, turning off and on the location... Location seems to be working fine.
Any advice on how to make it work?

High location on? Noticed battery saver won't unlock it. Haven't tried GPS only..

Yeah I do have high accuracy location mode on

Try letting google add ur location by GPS for safe places? Rather then ur address..

Well I tried that, but it's not letting me since it says that location has been already added, and I can't remove it, only turn it off.
One thing I've realized is that every time I reboot the phone I get a "Google play services stopped working" error. Could that have anything to do? Even after saying that, if I go to running applications it shows there, so I guess it just starts itself after crashing.
BTW whrn i installed the lolipop update I did a full factory reset.
EDIT:
I cleared the Google play services data and rebooted, this time it didn't crash. However safe places still are ignores and my phone keeps locking when it shouldn't

Tried toggling the Smart lock in trusted agents?

Tried that too without success... I don't get what is going on! It was my most anticipated feature
Could you let me know what you did to set it up? What settings you changed? Just trying to figure out if I'm missing something....
Thanks for all your help!

That's the feature I wanted from lollipop after leaving my Nexus 5.. Ive done just as a suggested.. Weird. Only other thing I'd try is to disable smart lock and a lock screen code, then setup through smart lock again.

My smart lock works intermittent. I would say a quarter of the time the smart lock operates. It's a shame, it's a really nice idea.

Wait, I may have found a possible solution http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...-lock-trusted-places-not-working-anymore.html
Update: Yes, uninstalling Google play services updates and then reinstalling updates followed by a reboot solved all my issues.

smart location has issues its not very accurate so if you want it to work at your location you'll have to add areas surrounding your location
as per Google's recommendation if smart location does not work try adding your location via pin tips.

Hi, I didn't want to start a new thread. My smart lock feature stopped working around 2 months ago and I already tried everything (except for a factory reset) and I can't get it work. Neither trusted device nor places work. I hoped that the recent AT&T update (installed it yesterday) would help, I deleted all trusted devices, wiped the cache partition, added bluetooth devices again with no luck.
Any idea how to get it work? I do not want to factory reset just to find you it did not help. Thank you.

It didn't work for me before, the recent update fixed it.

Strange Texting Issue

I bought my kid the Note 10+, activated it on Verizon's website and went through the TWENTY THREE Software updates, plus restored all her stuff from her Note 8.
Everything works great - except for one thing. She's not getting my texts. She gets everyone else's and I get hers. She gets my calls, and I get hers but she doesn't;t get my texts - and she has no numbers blocked. Not one.
Any ideas on WTH is the issue?

Not sure.
Try clearing the app data (messaging app)

Factory reset if you did a major firmware upgrade.
Otherwise clear the system cache.
Reset network.
Using SmartSwitch to transfer inbetween different models can cause issues.
Updates kill carrier phones... if still running on Pie, keep it there. Carrier updates are the first thing I lock down.

It's on Android 11. Phone was an Amazon refurb, fully stock. We just used Google to restore her apps. Found a few other people she's not getting texts from, but most of her contacts can text her, no problem.
We'll give those ideas a shot

A network reset and clearing the system cache are fast and painless. Clearing the system cache can cure many strange behaviors.
Try clearing the sim card tool kit app's data as well. It will then repopulate the data by it's self.
There could be a problem with the sim card as well. Always handle sim cards like a stick of ram, ESD can damage them, they have little or no ESD protection on their I/O's. They're cheap so techs handle them carelessly but that can cause you a lot of trouble and unpredictable failures in the future.

Well, we tried everything, including a new SIM card, but in the end, a simple factory reset fixed the problem!

I had this issue with Google messenger

Problem being if it reoccurs. Many times the same issues do if you don't find the root cause.
Unless I'm boot looped or have a significant malware infection I try to track it down.
Some apps don't uninstall clean and you may need to reinstall them to undo hidden setting changes they made. Had a Google(?) book reader app do that; it altered a display setting. Quit annoying.
Sometimes it takes days or longer. Eventually you will usually find the root cause and learn in the process.
If you upgraded to a new OS version a factory reset is also in order. Basic maintenance will keep an Android OS running well for over a year even with heavy usage, at least with Pie.

That's the app she uses, but it was the same with Samsung Messenger, too

What app are you both using?
If it is Google Messages and you had the chat features turned on, read this article:
Turn Off RCS "Chat" When You Switch Phones or Else...
Now that Verizon has committed to RCS with Google, the three major US carriers are all onboard. RCS is here (unlike 5G) and will be a big part of your messaging experience going forward, assuming you have an Android phone. And while RCS is great and a big improvement on traditional text...

I recently changed the phone#s for my wife and I and had issues because I didn't know to turn off the chat features before changing them.
