google maps error:"this application requires a data connection"

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 with T-Mobile

I switched to Espresso about 3 days ago from an HD2. On first boot everything seemed to work, but after about an hour of use my internet stopped working. I tried hard resets, nothing worked. I went back to the HD2 just to make sure it wasn't something that had gone wrong with my account and internet worked fine on the HD2. So I switched back. Now I am still without a data connection, have no idea where to even start because this is my first android device. Help?

You need to call tmobile and tell them that you need to change your web plan to the android plan.

Thanks, will do.

[SOLVED] Data stopped working

Running CM11 on PagePlus. I cannot access the Internet. I was able to at one time. Thought it was the Rom so I flash CM10.1 and Stock rooted rom. I reactivated the phone after the installs. Every time it says the network is connected but I cannot connect to the Internet or send MMS. Starting to think it is the phone. Any ideas?

More info:
IP address is applied. Able to ping ip address but not some other known ip address. Traceroute does one hop to 66.174.216.161, which seems to be a Verizon ISP. Might try playing with apns-config.xml. I had tried the one I had when it was working previously but did not seem to change anything.

I'm new, but had similar problems

I'm not sure the MMS issue has been resolved, as of yet. Last time I check the Development thread it seemed like there wasn't yet a fix. Someone will correct me shortly if I'm mistaken, I'm sure.
The data problem you're having is one that I struggled with for a couple weeks in CM11... I don't know how much help I can be, because I'm not really sure what ended up actually fixing it for my dINC. All I know is that I spent about three hours dirty flashing and restoring from nand backups, sometimes the full backup and sometimes just partitions. I also threw in a *228 somewhere in there. Anyways, Through persistence, and sheer dumb luck, I finally have a pretty stable data connection, as long as I don't use the mode switcher in DUbattery(that seems to mess 3g up until reboot).
sometimes it helps to toggle airplane mode on then off.

Thanks for the tip. I toggled airplane mode on and off. I could then load google in the browser but it would not do anything after that. I have a new inc and an OG Evo coming in. Might have to retire my inc for the kid to play games on. My wife is using and OG Evo with no data or mms problems on 10.1 and I am sort of digging the larger screen. Also might be able to help zach with troubleshooting cm11 for the evo (supersonic).

Glad to know it was not just my phone. I am back on your 2/17 build and was worried there was some leftover firewall stuff even though I wiped everything except emmc and sd-card before the flash.
On another note. I have that other EVO coming in so should be able to load up CM11 and do some logging for you.

So I switched mobile data off this weekend with the silent profile and when I switched it back on using the default profile my data worked.

I'm glad you found a fix! On my dINC, I don't use the profiles, and mobile data crashes randomly. After flashing the March 23rd build, it has gotten somewhat better, but it always seems to skip out when I need it most... specifically.... when I use Google voice search to either dictate text messages or navigate to an address(delivery driver). the latter is especially frustrating, because I only use the navi when I'm already out of the store and can't find something, so no alternative available. Sometimes, even when the 3g symbol is full in status bar, I'll push the voice button and it will say, "cannot reach google *** etc" :crying:

[Q] Mobile Data not working on CM11..

I am kind of new to the Android world (about 3 months) and about 2 days ago, one of my friends told me that getting CyanogenMod11 is the coolest thing ever, so I went over to his house and he rooted my phone, then he installed CyanogenMod11 via the new installer. I have the Galaxy S3 AT&T and everything was going good. When I was walking home, I turned on my Mobile Data in Settings>Data Usage and when I went into the Google Chrome app, it said "You are offline." I went into many other apps that require internet connection for example, I went into Instagram and it says "Couldn't refresh feed." I got home and I logged into my wifi and then Chrome and the other applications needing internet connection worked again, I went back outside far enough to where I get disconnected from my wifi and then I turned my mobile data on just to find that it did not work. [Note : Before I left his house, I went into Tumblr and my phone froze then it rebooted. When it turned back on, I was getting all of these messages appearing on my screen saying, "Unfortunately com.google.gaaps (or something like that) has stopped working." I got a few of these messages all relating to Google applications like on YouTube the app would close when I opened it. I rebooted my phone and that seemed to fix this problem.] I need to know whether I should look for a way to get my phone back to stock or if there is a fix to my problem.

I cannot seem to find a tutorial on how to flash a modem onto my ATT Galaxy S3 and I have pretty much given up on searching for one unless you can supply me with directions on how to do so. I appreciate your help and sorry for being a "noob" at rooting, modding, flashing, and Android overall.
EDIT-- I found out how to flash a modem onto my device and it did not fix my problem, I now have resulted in looking for a way to get back to stock and forget about rooting, modding, flashing, and just sticking to the stock Android and accepting how it is..

[Q] NOTE II keeps restarting whenever connected to the internet

Hey everyone,
I've been looking all over the internet for a solution to my problem, and nothing have worked yet. I've tried clearing the cache (and often data as well) for phone, internet and chrome. My setting does not keep activities. I have not tried factory reset, because I cannot backup all my phone's data as of now.
The problem with my phone is that I cannot connect to the internet at all. Because I'm out of the country right now, and will be for a while, I cannot use mobile data (because of my phone plan). I've been relying a lot on internet for communication with others, and though I can do it fine with my laptop, it's not exactly easy for me to carry it around everywhere.
What happened was this afternoon, I suddenly received the pop up "Unfortunately, Internet has stopped" when I tried to log in to my uni's wifi network. I used chrome after that and things were fine.
But then, the message kept on popping up and suddenly the phone kept on restarting itself. This happens constantly! After the phone is fully loaded, it restarts again!! When I switched off the wifi, the phone worked well. But I noticed that facebook and whatsapp were uninstalled (not by me). Maybe the problem lies with the wifi connection thing, cause whenever I switched it on, the phone restarts on its own. But if the wifi is on without being connected to any networks, the phone is fine.
After a while, I also started to get the pop up "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped".
Since I'm living in campus right now, the only wifi network available for me to connect to is the university's. So I don't know if this is just a problem with the univ. or just wifi networks in general.
I have this phone for about two years already. It is not rooted. I've dropped it several times but it still works fine. I have not installed any new applications recently. All I did today was scroll through tumblr. Uninstalled that app too just in case, but problem remained.
If any of you know what's up or what to do, that'd be a great help!
Thank you
