I have a problem with wifi. When I go into settings>wireless and network>Wi-Fi settings the phone will go into a force close. Sometimes it takes a few seconds other times it's instant.
The weird part is this problem only occurs inside my city. If I go out of town or just down the road where i'm outside of the city wide wireless network the Wi-Fi the settings works perfect. I can go in add my networks scan for new networks. No problems at all. Also once I have the networks added they function properly when I'm inside my city network, I just can't open the Wi-Fi settings menu.
I do not believe this situation is unique to my device. I have another local friend with same phone and same problem.
I have flashed the phone with beastmod II and the problem continues. I have ran fixed permissions through the clockwork mod with no change. Like I said the phone works perfect when I'm outside of our local city Wi-Fi. They have 3 networks that are available to city employees across town. Is there someway they could be interfering and even better is there someway to stop this problem? Thanks for any help.
was it doing that on your stock original ROM?
Yes it was doing the same thing on the stock ROM. My friends phone that does this is completely stock.

This is happening to a friend of mine as well. He is located in Bowling Green Ky. Have you found a solution yet?
No solution yet either. I'm also in bowling green, ky. its frustrating that no other cities are causing this problem. maybe then it would be worth samsung fixing the issue.

how did you came to the conclusion "it must be a Samsung problem"?
when according to what you said, it's clearly something local to your area causing the problem
i'm sure if this was a real BUG on manufacturing, a lot more people would have complained about it already as usual.
example the screen colour issue
Every other phone and piece of equipment I have works fine inside the city. I just moved from the motorolla atrix, which worked flawless. never had a issue with any device prior to this one. thats why i believe its a samsung issue

Anyone else still having problems with locations?
Facebook doesn't work properly (can't check in, no places found), weather doesn't (says 'Isle of Man') and neither does the navigation (says 'Navigation to your destination is not avaliable')
GPS works and syncs fine (now I did the spring trick), the stand alone locations app (latitude, locations & maps) work perfectly fine.
I've re-flashed, reinstalled, cleared cache, data. Even started from scratch and it's all the same.
Search brings up little or no results in with this problem and more importently no solutions for me specifically.
I've also found some pages on google that say the navigation (car panel premium) was merged into the google navigation. This is around the same time all mine packed up.
I'm using the most recent arhd with recommended radio. The phone is just not what it was this time last year, all social networking and locations/nav worked fine.
I'm sure there are more people with the same problem?
I think it's my network/location but a samsung phone with android works fine with nav and check in with same apn settings.
I used a program that let me force change my location and check in and navigation worked instantly.
Still doesn't explain why I can use latittude and the maps perfectly but then when I click navigate it says not avaliable.
Is there a way I can check what's going on or whats blocking this?
Hi,
I get exactly the same problem in the Isle of Man (although running a Galaxy Samsung Nexus).
I also have a friend with another android phone who also can't get navigation here either.
I think it only stopped working for us in December.
Hi Michael
Another Isle of Man user here. Haven't been able to use Navigation recently. I a can go to Maps and get directions to a destination. As soon as I switch to Navigation I get a message saying:
No routes found - Navigation to your destination is not possible.
Hadn't thought too much of it. I tend to mess around with various distros (currently running GalnetMUI 2.2.1) and it's not uncommon for something to be broken from one build to the next.
Nice (in a way) to know it's just me. The question remains .. who can fix it?

It's not ROM related.
I've flashed various back-ups including stock and friends phones are the same using stock and custom.
Could it be Google?

any progress?
Hey guys another iom user. But I'm on sure just noticed this problem today. Anybody found a solution?
Nope, no solutions! Still looking
Something has been blocked.
I'll update if i find any work around.
I went on holiday and everything worked fine in England and Spain. It's just here.

I have a very difficult time getting lte to work properly on his phone. I have five full bars and the phone stutters and loads web pages at terribly slow speeds. This while my wife is browsing the web painlessly on her one x right next to me. I get fine speed tests, 20 mbps sometimes. it almost seems like it can't get proper DNS resolutions. I have tried both stock firmwares as well as the diet ics rom. I have used set DNS, using both opendns and Google. Its just random ****tiness all day long on lte.. one page loads the next just sits there.
I have two days before my thirty days is up, the lady at the att store told me to call 611 and have them run a test, seems like she was trying to get rid of me. Any one else have these problems so I can save my 35$?
While I've never had the problem on my S3, I have worked with a similar experience. On one of my customers Southern Linc Motorola Titanium 's, it was doing what you described. We dialed up customer support and they reset the IP address. Call AT&T and see if they can do that. That's the only suggestion I have.

I have been experiencing sporadic login failures error messages both in my Gnex and Nexus 7, the message reads that there was a problem communicating with google servers, a couple of friends also have experienced the same. I have not identified when or what is triggering the error.
Is anyone else having this problems? any information?
regards
I've been gotten the notification a few times today. It doesn't show which specific g-app that may be causing it, however clicking the notification appears to alleviate it.

Yes, I also experienced couple of Google login issues since my GNex got the OTA update for 4.2 yesterday.
I've received numerous notifications on both my GNex and N7 today. If I recall, I actually saw the first one last night, on my GNex. But mine don't appear to affect functionality at all, even if i don't clear the notification.
I will add that in the previous two days, my GNex was having problems staying connected to the Google servers (gray signal bars) and that *did* kill sync, but didn't have an accompanying notification. It even killed my data connection altogether a few times, which required either an airplane mode toggle or a reboot. That hasn't happened today though.
Phew! Can't wait for 4.2.1.
I am having this issue as well.
I believe that it started yesterday. But I have been mainly noticing it today.
Anyone know the cause?
I haven't received the upgrade to 4.2 yet
Not running a Nexus (GS2 with SuperNexus ROM, though.... ), but I've been getting this as well. Saw a post from awhile back about logging in and out of Google+ to fix it, but that didn't take. Tried disconnecting and reconnecting my account, but also no bueno. Interestingly, I haven't seen this issue on my N7, today.
Got it a couple hours ago, I think I just clicked the notification and I haven't got it again. The last time this happened was the Google Now outage a month back.
Google must be making some changes to something....................
Having the issue here on my Galaxy Note (1), and but not my Nexus 10 or Sony Google Tv.

Appearing on both Nexus devices (toro 4.1.1) and Xoom on 4.1.2. Happened several times to me today, only once on my wife's Nexus. Maybe they're fixing the package notification in Google Now before black Friday shopping begins.

Same here. I just switched from stock to CM 10 around that time so I was figuring it was residual from flashing over. I'll take that over the constant prompt for the 4.2 OTA I was stuck with though

I'm also having this problem on my Galaxy Nexus. I first noticed it Tuesday night, it happened twice yesterday and once today so far.
I've been getting it on my 4.1 Nexus for the past few days. Calendar shows a sync error on occasion.
I have been getting it as well since yesterday. I got it early today too. My girlfriend has a G2X and she got it as well. It must be something going on with Google servers again-I remember having that kind of issue a couple of months ago-it got fixed within 2-3 days.
"me too"
This has been happening to me to, seems to have started a few days ago- happens multiple times a day. Annoying as hell, BUT, doesn't seem to affect phone functionality, at least as far as I have noticed.
Stock Galaxy Nexus, stock OTA Jelly Bean 4.2. No rooting or other funniness.
For now, I'm going to give it a week and hope Google becomes aware of it and fixes this.
I saw one post in another forum that deleting the account on the phone fixes it, but I can't confirm that. I also don't want to lose all my text messages, so only going to do this as a last resort.
One time a few hours ago, all OK now.
not sure why it happened (phone not connected to usb), but i've also been noticing some disconnecting and reconnecting since yesterday, and one time play store "could not find a data connection". i'm sure its temporary.
I am running the latest build from Muzzy for the Sprint Galaxy Nexus currently released yesterday. OS V 4.2.1
I am not having any issues with GPS locking in but when I try to use the Sprint Family Locator app, I am unable to locate my son's phone also on the same rom. I get a general network based location but cannot get a GPS location. I flashed his phone back to the stock 4.1.1 image from Google and the problem went away. It's as if the app cannot request a precise GPS location. Any thoughts?
I love the new builds and would hate to go back to stock but being able to keep tabs on my child is important. Knowing he is within a 1200 ft raduis is funny but not helpful LOL
Fixed?
You posted this a while ago and I was just wondering if you ran into a fix?
I am running a 4.2.1 rom and my GPS locks onto satellites but the tracking is way off.
I use a workout tracking app that worked fine but after my update to a 4.2.1 rom the tracking is not working.
I tried multiple workout trackers and all are having the same problem.
I know for a fact that my route is 15 miles, but the trackers now report I've gone on a 190+ mile trip...
I have problems with GPS on a different ROM but when I turn on both settings in location access it works fine.
I don't like to use the allow Google to collect my data but give it a try its the allow WiFi and mobile network location.
