So, I have a T-mobile GS3 which I rooted and installed AOKP Build 5 D2TMO on and suddenly today, my connectivity symbol has gone grey. It still displays 3g or h+ and full bars but its just grey and my browser (chrome) wasnt working along with maps but when I attempted the native Android web browser, it works like a charm so it seems that My cell phone is only having trouble connecting to google apps or servers, anyone ever here of this? Is there a fix?

Flash Google apps or gapps as it's called. They are on goo.im/gapps. Look for the latest with JB in the file name. December 12 I think is the date.
Flash through your recovery and you should be good.
Just in case make sure your Google account is set up in settings>accounts.
I originally flashed GAPPS but the October build since I was under the impression that since AOKP build 5 was 4.1.2 based, I couldn't flash the GAPPS 121212 since its 4.2 based. is this true? And yes, my google accounts were set up, my phone was fully functional for a week the nsuddenly no google. I've narrowed it down to not connecting to Play Store or google services, chrome works, texting works, phone calls work.
Ya it's just that you're not connected Google services for some reason, try signing into gtalk.

Well, I just reflashed a different Rom ( AOKP nightly, CM10.1 wont flash on mine, T999 but get Status 7) and gapps, worked fine for a day then Same thing, grayed out 3g connection symbol with full bars. chrome and other browsers work but cannot connect to Facebook, play store, etc. Also, when it happened, my time jumped like 2 hours forward all crazy like. Any one have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Where are you getting your downloads from? and what recovery are you using?

TeamWin Recovery 2 and I'm getting my ROMS from the official Sites (AOKP, CM)
hey are working perfectly for a while then just die or something and throw the system clock off(time, not processor)
EDIT: just looked and what seemed actually happened to my system clock is that it reset to the year 1970 while crippling my mobile DATA at the same time
go to the threads located on this forum and grab those downloads better yet. What are you running Kasper's AOKP 4.2 or 4.1.2? and what is TeamWin Recovery 2? I don't understand the "2"... Link the downloads so I know what you are talking about. My guess is you are flashing the wrong gapps and have an old recovery. The 1970 date thing is just some weird phenomenon that our phones have. The latest and greatest recoveries cause all the weird dates on there too.

Ever since going from MyFroyo RC4 to RC5 & RC6 (and even the Cyanogen RC01, I have had problems with my wifi.
I am posting here to see if anyone else is experiencing these problems, and to find out what changed between RC4 and RC5.
I have no cell service at my house, so when I flash a new ROM, I need to leave the house and go to an area where I get service before I can connect to the Google Servers to set up my device. When on Wifi, I also have problems downloading Google items in the market (such as Google Search Bar) and can't even use Google.com to search for anything. It times out. I can, however, use other websites and download other items (once I've set up my device remotely).
If I am setting this up over Edge or 3G, there are never any problems.
If I re-flash back to MyFroyo RC4, I can use my wifi with no problem to do everything I need.
I really love the updates since RC4 - but am worried that I'll be left in the dust since all the builds since RC4 have had this issue for me. :-/
I'm in the same boat and experience the same WiFi issues.

I've never had a single Wifi issue, although I never really tested on RC1 too much. I'm currently running Eugene's newest CM6, have you tried that one yet?

supposed to be a cyanogenmod issue though i havent experienced it myself (i also have horrible service 1-2 bars edge max) using wifi everything loads up fast and everything downloads just fine! but if i were you i would try the nightlies they are supposed to have fixed the problem by now if im not mistaken
I've experienced a lot of this too. Marker downloads were pretty much not happening for me, no matter what - Wifi or Data. On data, it would download but never install. On Wifi no images in the market would load and no download would activate. I also couldn't use Google.com or sign into Gmail via the browser or other Google services. I did a lot of searching and heard it could be Google.
What I did to fix it... I did some nandroids, I did some wipes and updates and complete formats, etc. What I finally think I had was a problem in my packages.xml file where so many programs were mismatched due to Froyo's ability to use apps2fat32. I think at some point some nandroiding I had done,etc screwed up my package assignments and then I just fresh installed and DO NOT BACK DATA/SETTINGS UP WITH GOOGLE! haha, I honestly think that had a lot to do with it also...Go into your Privacy and turn auto restore off, turn backup data off, then reset your device with a wipe of it all and such, boot up and don't select backup with Google. I've had no more issues really.

I've actually tried the new nightly's and still have the same problems. I've also tried completely wiping it and starting from scratch- and made sure not to back up w/ GOOGLE servers- but to no avail.
I wonder if anyone on here can figure out what changed between MyFroyo RC4 and RC5 that could cause this - seems something is blocking the Google Synch. I've also experienced the problems mentioned above regarding the market items not downloading, no images, etc. Just seems weird that it worked completely fine before RC5, which came out around the same time as the Cyanogen 6 Slide RC1
From my personal experience I'd have to say that wifi is slightly bugged. Drops randomly and occassionally won't detect my network when other Android devices will (any encryption, which is for suckers anyway )
At least I know I'm not the only one w/ this problem. I couldn't find a cyanogen defect for this issue.
Same here. I have no wifi. My g1 connects just fine and my hd2 but on the slide its a no go. Ive tried everything but eventually just gave up. Im using Eugenes Ota update. Im not sure if its just the slide in general but my wifi doesn't work period. It'll connect but if i load up youtube or try the web I get a no connection error. Its very peculiar. Incredibly peculiar.
I am having the same issue. I noticed people talked about it with CM6 rc1 but not everyone was having the issue and the subject died off. Ive tried reloading, wiping everything, htcclay's new version but nothing seems to help. The wifi is just strange will work for a page or two than fail to load or loads half way. Also tried on several different networks. Does anyone know if the driver is the same in eugenes as in these later ones?
After wiping and keeping a good eye on everything, the issue I have with Wifi and the browser is that sometimes it just hangs about 75% page load and doesn't really change unless I leave the phone go for a bit and wait for it to load.
Downloaded Opera Mini (only browser I could find that doesn't use the native browser). With Opera, I've actually hadn't had any loading issues or anything weird like that happen. So many a possible partial-bypass is using another browser? It helped me, just thought I'd share.

Same bugginess happening here, too. Iffy, at best. Other than that and of course the non-necessary FN and CAPS light, this is the only issue, anymore, that I can see.

This new ROM has been really awful to say the least....
Will probably help if you say what service, and rom, most of the time you don't have to flash w/an official rom either...

Really? What would you call it?
I flash the new HTC Tilt 2 (AT&T) ROM Update 2.10.502.4
The phone was acting really unstable, no HTC Sense on startup, the zone identification keep coming up everytime the phone wakes up, most of the times you try to wake up the phone, it won't do anything.
So went ahead and reflash again. Everything seems to be working right now exept that I can't browse the web. Emails are coming in fine, the updates the location on weather, etc. But still can't browse either Opera or Explorer.
Any suggestions?

is it still flashing if you are not unlocking your phone and just downloading the new "official" rom from the official site?
I Read a thread here the other day saying it wasn't the same thing, maybe I just had bad information.
When I read the thread on flashing roms it's a lot more complicated...but maybe that's just the difference between a custom and official flash?
I'm probably just misinformed, you tell me

Do you get the.."Can't make a data connection at this time" message, or are these browsers just not working/not coming up?
Have you tried on wifi, to discern whether this is a data connection problem or the actual browsers?
I had no problems when I updated my rom, just a few minor annoyances at some changes I didn't care for.
You could always try it again.

Any time you replace the ROM it is considered flashing. The fact that custom ROMs on this phone require HardSPL and factory ROMs don't is irrelevant. The ROM replacement procedure is still considered a flashing.
Still can't browse the web :-(
Any suggestions?
This happened to me a few months ago - nothing to do with a new ROM. Everything that used the internet worked including emails, texts, stock updates, etc - but no internet.
I used WiFi to download opera 10 beta and then installed it and was able to browse to my heart's content. I eventually ended up having to do the dreaded hard reset a while later (for other reasons) and after the reset both the native opera and ie worked fine.
See http://forums.wireless.att.com/t5/AT-T-HTC/Tilt-2-Internet-Connectivity/td-p/1933813
btw - I did upgrade to the new ROM and lost no internet issues but DID cure a curious problem - before the upgrade neither google maps or bing maps would work. No maps at all but it did "locate" me with the gps. After the new ROM google maps is working great. Go figure,
Are you using MediaNet for your connection? Try creating a new connection using wap.cingular instead. MediaNet stopped working for me last month for some odd reason and AT$T had no clue why. Switched to wap.cingular and all is well.
Hello,
I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus which I just flashed to Jelly bean, via the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737849
Runs great, the only issue is I get "Network Error, check your network connection and try again" when accessing the new Google search bar (Google Now).
I read in that thread to try switching to the UGLC1 radio. I did this and still get an error. I've also set my Language to English (US), ensured google web search was not paused, and both checked and unchecked the "search on google.com" checkbox in settings. Anyone have any other things to try?
For the record I'm on bell in Canada.
I'm seeing the same thing except that I think the problem is larger than that. I haven't yet gotten a connection to the Google Server (wifi and signal bars are still grey instead of blue) and opening things like Talk or allow me to download apps from the store.

now that you mention it google talk is not connecting for me either, and the wifi and signal bars stay grey.
I can however download apps from the google play store.
Anyone have any luck with this. I can seem to still download apps and get Gmail, but it doesn't run at all in the background.
Wipe the data for Google Services Framework and then reboot your phone.

Can someone confirm this method works?
Confirmed! Didn't even have to re enter gmail address. Simple clear & reboot worked like a charm.
I resolved this over the weekend. My problem was with using TitaniumBackup and restoring via 'restore missing apps and system data'. When I reflashed, did another TB restore for only missing apps everything works fine (including greyed out wifi and signal bars)
On my home screen I keep getting this message, No data, tap to refresh. My signal light ggoesfro blue to white wwhich won't allow me on the Internet. Phone and text works though.

Have you done anything lately ? ROM you are on ?
This is a google services issue. Happened to me and my wife's S2's about a year ago. Data just went out. Gray signal bars. Talk and text only. Don't bother calling your carrier's tech support. They are clueless. Our connection was down for 8 hours and then just came back. Very odd. I've heard of users swapping between apns/reboots, clearing the data in the Google services framework, deleting and re adding their google accounts. Not sure if any of these work or if you'll have to wait it out like we did. Keep us posted

I am running the latest Cynaogen 10 rom. Data signal has been gray most of the day only going blue once in a while. No data as I type now.
Just to rule out a ROM issue, flash back to rooted stock. Cm has weird issues for some users at random times.

have you seen anything online anywhere with other users experiencing the same thing in your city/area? my wife was running a tw rom and i was on one of tasks. at&t said they saw our phones fine and didnt see any network issues...not that they know right from left. did you research the google services framework at all? i'll keep my eyes out
and i agree with mrhaley. i would revert to stock and see if that fixes your issue
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:
