Rooted users - are you having problems signing in to Google services?

I'm referring to the inability to sign in to Google Talk or download Market apps when connected via the Sprint network, as described here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=815345
To summarize... When connected using Sprint 3G, I often get these problems
- Can't sign in to Google Talk (I get the message "Cannot connect to server, will retry shortly"
- Can't download or update apps (I get stuck on "Starting Download...")
- Other internet features work OK
- Switching to Wifi solves the problem

no problems at all for me

why is this here ?? should be in
Q&A
and no im not

Yeah just started today though?

Not as much problems as you're having posting in the right section.
BOOOOOO-YAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
lol......j/k.....I couldn't help it. To answer your question: No, I haven't. All my rom/kernel/software info is in the sig. I've had an update/download hang on "starting download" before, but I'll just cancel the download and restart it and that usually fixes the hiccup. If not, it's nothing a quick reboot won't fix. Try clearing the data and cache from the market app.
P.S. If switching to WiFi solves the issue, it could be poor reception that is causing the said problems to happen. I get very poor 3G reception in the building I work in, and many things have problems working when I'm not on WiFi.

I have this problem as well. If you do find a solution, let us know! I've had this problem for a while now but could not pinpoint when it began. I know I didn't have this problem on 2.1 though. Definitely not due to weak signal (Chicago).

Were you running 2.1 on the same device?
And, I'm guessing you were rooted both with 2.1 and 2.2, right?

omg.. classic response. job well done sir. i am still laughing.
+1 on the advice too

uninstalling the market update usually solves the problem for good. Ive noticed it on hybrid fr83/91 roms as well

rooted with fresh and kingkernel 10 and have had apps hanging after downloading and wont install/update...

I had those problems for a while a couple days ago. They said it was a network problem. It resolved after about 8 hours.

No problems here. Using 135 nightly.

I was having no problems at all for a while but yesterday market downloads over wifi no longer work for me. Everything downloads fine over 3G just not wifi. Weird. If anybody knows how to fix this I would be eternally grateful.

Go under applications and clear data for vending...sometimes files get crossed. Will fix market problem

I don't have anything called vending in applications

this is a known problem and has been for months....
usually if you uninstall the market updagte the problem goes away for good.
also try a non hybrid rom thats not based on fr83/91
fresh, evervolv, cm, evo nonsense work

I've had this exact problem for a while now. Its incredibly annoying. What usually works for me is stopping both talk and market then clearing the date and doing the same with the HTC_checkin service.
This usually lets me download the app but not always. I haven't tried uninstalling market updates, will that remove any features like the search prediction and such?

I was having the problem with Fresh too. I just installed the new stock deodexed 3.30.651.2 ROM, and I'm STILL experiencing the issue. Very annoying!

a friend and i are having the same problem except she never has a problem connecting to gchat. but when shes not signed in it she's not able to download apps from the market place.
me on the other hand there are times when i cant sign on gtalk at all, i'd either have to restart the phone or switch to wifi like the op said. oh and i'm also unable to download apps when i'm not signed in gchat.
this gets especially annoying when i'm in a middle of a conversation in gchat and i lose connection and cant log back on! and i hate using 3rd party messengers since there arent any good ones out! but trillian is starting to creep up on me.

oh i'm also rooted with fresh

[Q]GPS Not Working

Hi,
My GPS stopped working.
After much research and several tests, changing radio\RIL, stock rom.... could not get the GPS working.
Some time ago, after a long time just picking up one satellite, now does not get any.
Is there any tool or application to test the hardware?
Thanks.

rom do you use?

I noticed this with CM7.1.
The stock rom I tested was the latest 2.3.5 OTA.

Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17081413

Hi,
I tried this with the stock rom and did not work.
I tried with CM7.1 and still not show any satellite.
Sugestions?
Just for the record:
Radio - 27.14.04.28_M

Have the same issue
I like Cyanogen 7.1, but it seems that the gps doesn't work on DHD. Too bad, because it is a really good rom. I have radio 26.10.04.03_M. The same thing as described by others happen:
I turn on the gps, it start searching, and then it stops and the icon disappears even that the gps is still showed as being turned on

My case is different.
Worked for me several months without problems, and fast.
But stop working.

Someone?
I've tried modifying hardware (antenna), changing to stock rom, tried some different radios, editing gps.conf....
I do not know what else to do.
Anyone know some software to test the GPS hardware?

Have you tried changing the NTP servers?

Changing the NTP servers is part of the link spikey001 posted.
Have you tried flashing agps? I haven't got a thread to point you too but there is one in the DHD ROM section. There are about 6 different gps things you can flash, hopefully one of them will work.

You mention that your GPS used to work. Have you recently dropped your phone? It's possible that the GPS antenna contacts might not actually be making contact anymore (either through trauma or just plain old age)? If none of the SW fixes get your GPS working then perhaps you might actually have to do a HW mod?
See this thread for a HW fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318892
Don't worry, it's not as scary as it looks!

Hi,
sounds like what mine did.
Tried software and even made the fysical contact better for the gps-module itself.
No luck.
The solution for me was to buy a new gps-module on ebay for 5-10 us$.
Worked like a charm.
Good luck!!

Thanks for all the help.

I've tried the agps reset/download and no luck.

The phone did not fall, just stopped working.
I've tried the HW fix but did not work, still no satellites.

I can not find the gps-module on Ebay, can you help me?

same thing happened to me after upgrading to ICS rom and since am not using it that much, just ignored it and wait for the devs to fix it...now waiting for the wifi fix of blackout ICS

Maps- Force Close issues

Well don't know if anyone else has seen this, but out of nowhere Google Maps started force closing on me every time I press the current location button. I did a factory restore to EL29 and it was still happening, I can't imagine what might be causing this.
Anyways, I started installing old versions of Google Maps to try to get it working again, all v5 and v6 apks were force closing, the latest version that is working fine for me is 4.7.0
Here is the link if anyone is having the same issue:
http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/download/temp/1289878895_Google_Maps_4.7.0.apk

Had same problem. Downloaded map helped to solve it.

SOLVED for me!
Had the same issue, and this worked for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467313

Iv been getting the same problem for the last 3 days!! Driving me nuts...Im on Calk's EL29 rom and have wiped/restored 1x, wiped cache/dalvik numerous times and have 'fixed permissions' from within CWM too...nothin will fix it. Even giong back to old versions of maps workes for like 3 minutes, then it will slow down or freeze.....
Any ideas what to do? u guys getting this problem too?

Snazarian- sounds like it might be a different issue for you. Did you try the download I posted in op?
Did notice that all my friends in Houston have this issue with their different Androids and its on my Transformer so it must be something wrong with the map in houston

Snake, I downloaded ur version but havent tried it yet. I dont think its location-centric, i think its something with the 2 latest updates pullin in too much data or erroneous data and crashing most phones.
Something that worked, download Sysctl from the market, change the VM size to 4096 or higher. THat somehow relieved the bottleneck in the phone and it works now with the latest version of maps....im thinking google will have to fix this in a new release soon...the problem is on their end..

I only say its location related because no one on this forum has the problem but the people I have talked to in Houston with different android phones all have it and it happens on my transformer

[Q] Phone randomly reboots with Calkulin's ICS rom

Hey guys,
I've clicked around a bit but can't seem to find anyone with the same issue, and I went through about 40 pages on Calkulin's ROM but I really don't want to go through all 200 and some if somebody here can provide a solution.
I've used his ROMs for the past year, really fantastic, no complaints at all. I flashed his beta ICS build a few months ago and it worked well with the exception that it would randomly reboot for no apparent reason. I could be in the middle of a text message or it could be sitting on my desk and all of a sudden, reboot. I went back to his old ROM and decided to put off ICS for a few months to work out the bugs. Today I put his newest ICS ROM up and once again, random reboots. It doesn't seem that others are having the same problem so I'm not sure what to make of it. And for the sake of putting it out there, it's always a clean install - Format All, flash modem and ROM.
Anybody have any ideas? Suggestions? Any help is seriously appreciated.
Thanks guys.

Ive heard of someone else having this issue before have you tried a fresh install with a new download of EL29 or EL26? When i have had issuez in the past that could be the culprit try a new download also you could try one of the new kernals posted that may help as well.

Are you using 4g?? This is a known issue with leaving 4g enabled.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

It is a known issue that if the hacked Hotspot is installed and you are running on 4G that you will experience random reboots. Mijjah74 has implemented a fix for it in his ROMs and it is beginning to go out among the other developers as well.
Until your developer implements the fix the cure is to not use 4G.

Awesome, thanks a ton. What a goofy bug. Yes I frequently use 4g, hourly even, and although I rarely use the hot spot, it is installed. I wonder if un installing it would fix the issue.
Thanks again.
Any idea if using am older modem would fix it?

No, reinstalling won't help. I was testing 4g for this and (for me at least) it would reboot at about exactly the 1 hr mark if 4g is running constantly. Pretty strange but it did it several times in a row that way. I think someone said that they have the timing down pretty well and I can't recall exactly what the recommendation was, turn 4g off and back on right before it's going to reboot (you should time yours to see when it does it). Something like that.
Addendum: FYI, I'm running stock EL29 modem. A different modem won't change the 4g reboot issue either, sorry.

I had random reboots on every ROM. I went all the way back to stock unrooted, and started back over. Haven't has any issues since.

Happens to me it is working but suddenly it is not working anymore and I've tried every rom: avatar: ho! no!: Cm10.1: liquid nitro ... And the different baseband... begin working in early but then does not work.... I think this is due to the problem that I have with BSOD...

Sounds like it may be a hardware issue as every rom I have tried works with wifi, although wifi works best if I stick with ICS roms.

Look now I'm on Gingerbread and Lob works perfectly but sometimes goes crazy and reboots start ...

Is it possible your phone is defective because it's rebooting? I have used quite a few roms and wifi always works and no random reboots.
