For some reason I can't get Google Music to actually download anything to my phone. I'm trying to do an offline playlist for when I'm travelling and don't want to use 4g. This has worked on multiple devices I've had in the past, so I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. What's odd is, it won't stream music either unless I allow it to use 4G. I've reset my router and modem, restarted the phone, cleared the app data and cache and signed in again. Nothing I seem to do works and I'm getting irritated. These are songs I uploaded to and/or purchased from Google Music. Also, I do have data connectivity to everything else I can think of, work email, gmail, facebook and the internet as a whole are all working on the phone. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated!
Continuing my research, I found a review in the play store of someone with an HTC One (doesn't say if it's M7 or M8) that has the same problem. No reply to it though.

I have this EXACT same issue. I can mark my playlists or radio stations for offline download, but if the checkbox for 'download on wifi only' is ticked, it never downloads.
The same thing happens with google photos and auto upload. If I have it set to upload on wifi only, it never happens. So the problem is very similar, but only with this device. My nexus 5, and Nexus 7 don't have this issue. So it's likely software, but I just can't figure out what it would be. I really don't want to do a factory reset and have to set everything up again. Maybe there's some HTC software messing it up?
Summary of issue:
ONLY happens in google music and google photos
only happens when set to 'download(or upload) on wifi only'
Only happens on the htc one m8
Issue does not occur on nexus 5, or nexus 7.
Thank goodness it's not just me, I just realized it's happening for me on google photos auto backup as well yesterday. I concur it's got to be something software based but I'm not sure what it could be, the photo backups did work for me without issue for a while, I ended up turning it off for a couple days for some reason I can't recall, and never noticed after turning it back on that it wasn't actually uploading.

Mine worked well when I first set everything up, but that was because it defaulted to uploading over mobile networks. I usually set it to upload on wifi only when charging, and google music downloads over wifi only. Ever since I set them to wifi, they don't sync properly. If I switch them back to use the mobile network, everything works fine. I'm so annoyed with this. I tried running a logcat and it didn't seem to offer too much info that I could notice. I switched back to the dalvik runtime from art with no change. The next step is a factory reset, but I'm not sure that's going to help me.
I'm pretty sure I had mine on wifi only as well, but I could be wrong. I'm not going to have time to mess around with it anymore until later tonight (US Eastern Time Zone), have you tried calling support at all? I haven't yet, but may give it a go. If not, I'll let you know when I'm going to try a factory reset and whichever of us can first should post if it resolved the issue or not hehe.
Oh, one thing I just thought of, are you using Lookout Mobile Security?

I'm fairly certain support isn't going to be useful. They're going to suggest a handful of unrelated things to try, then they're going to have you do a factory reset. I'm NOT using lookout security. That was the first thing I disabled. I don't need that crap on my phone lol. I could technically do a factory reset now, I just don't want to spend my free time at work today reinstalling and setting up all my apps and settings.
Yeah, I don't really think support would be useful either. I thought about tweeting at @HTC or @HTCUSA about it, but they'd probably do the same thing as support. I do have Lookout turned on, figured it was worth a thought if you did as well. I would take the time to do the factory reset today while at work but am prepping for a major DR test so I'm just flat out not going to have the time, plus I don't want to mess up my exchange account etc lol
Do you have any corporate applications on? We use Airwatch for MDM at my office, and even though it's not *supposed* to have any impact on personal devices other than requiring a PIN lock, I'm wondering if something else is causing me connectivity issues of some sort.

Factory reset didn't fix it. Ugh. This is a deal breaker for me! I've only had the phone for 3 days, but I don't want to return it...
I contacted HTC to see what they can offer as far as extra help...I'll keep you posted.
Thanks, I called the T-Mobile store I got mine from to see if they'd heard of anyone having this issue, they hadn't and want me to stop in so they can take a look. I've been using Android since the G1 and also have had my usual crew of fellow Android geeks here at the office take a look and everyone came back to factory reset. I don't really feel like going to the store to have them suggest that as well and find out, like you, that it doesn't work. I'll let you know if I find anything else out also. Thanks man!

Well I'll clear that up by saying a factory reset isn't going to fix it. It's a software issue.
Exactly what I said, I'm tempted to root and try another ROM as I've had mine for over a month now. I'm wondering if you're up for it if you'd try another M8 to see if it happens there too? I've been trying to figure this out since June 1st and haven't really found anyone else dealing with the issue, kinda wonder if it's a glitch with the Wifi as I'd think if it was a pure software issue it would be more prevalent. :-\

I highly doubt it's an issue with wifi because it works fine. I could surf the internet all day and it would just work. Yet, auto upload, and downloading songs in play music doesn't work. Super annoying. I'll probably give it a try tonight/tomorrow and see how it goes though.
I just figure since you just got yours they may give you less of a hard time about exchanging. I'll go fight with them either way, but I have to probably wait another week as i'm on call starting Friday for a week and can't go without my phone at all :-\

I'll swing by there when I get a chance. If I can get a replacement, I'll take it. But I really don't think the device is the issue. Something is amiss here.

Hi all,
I got my Nexus Prime today. I'm quite impressed, but it has a problem that's driving me mad.
When I first turned on my handset and entered my Google username it tried to download all the old apps from my previous Android handsets - I didn't ask it to nor did I want it to! Anyway, this failed part way through and none of the apps actually installed.
Since owning this device a few hours ago I cannot install anything through the Android market at all. I keep getting told that the download failed due to an error, but nothing further.
I've tried rebooting the handset but nothing appears to be able to be downloaded.
I can download from other sources, for example I downloaded the Swype installer and that installed fine, from the Swype website (Swype states it's not compatible with this handset!)
I'm not sure if this is a general bug or if there's something wrong with my individual handset but it would be interesting to see if anyone else has this problem?
Hi I had this problem too, unfortunately clearing cache and data from Market doesn't do anything (at least for me), I had to do a factory reset, worked for me and my friend who also had the same problem.
Damn, after an evening of customising my handset I was hoping not to have to do that.
So it appears we've discovered an issue with this handset.
Yep, that fixed it.
Annoying though..............

The way to avoid that is by skipping the initial guide and then att your account in settings instead. I agree that they should just ask you instead but the above way has worked ever since that feature was intruduced in 2.2.
Sorry for the bump but I'm having the exact same issue.
Just rooted the phone and after all apps were restored I tried downloading apps and keep getting that error.
I already did a factory reset several times and nothing. Just tried skipping the setup and adding my google accounts later but I'm still getting the same error :X
Anyone has any idea how to fix this problem? Do I have to return my phone?
It's been driving me crazy..

I seem to have managed to fix this now. I popped my sim into my old android phone, I noticed that the apn settings being used on old phone are different to those GN has setup by default for my network provider. I just copied those through to the new phone and market works again . Hope this helps someone.
Having the same issue also. I'm on Telus in Canada and the APN settings are the same on my old phone. I have done a factory reset and am still having this issue. Please help!
Are you guys rooted? If you are it could be the ROM your using?

Or just let it restore, and wait. It can take hours, let it do its thing. By tomorrow will be working again.

You are right. It's the weirdest problem I've seen but somehow it just fixed itself.. Apps install fine now (too bad I didn't know that before doing a million factory resets and deleting my settings)
Figured it out. I had to clear the proxy address in my apn settings

seems my Service Provider's settings where blocking downloads esp the Proxy... hmmmm
I've had this problem since yesterday, Market wont download over wifi or data network, messages 'Error while processing payment' or '... could not be downloaded due to error'
I'm running a stock GSM nexus and have tried clearing the market data and rebooting but no luck, I'd rather not have to do a factory reset if I can avoid it.
Any ideas anyone?
not sure where to begin, i suppose by listing my phone specs after root--
using the galaxy s2, (epic 4g touch) using kernal 2.6.35-8lostkernelexp+, build number starburst 11.13.11 v1.9.8r and running nothing but the honey theme.
i rooted the phone about a week ago and until today, everything seemed to work fine, then suddenly, i was unable to send pictures via text. not a real big issue, but i travel alot and sending pics back home by messages i a big deal for me. i thought it was just somethin with the phone, and after rebooting and rebooting to see if it would correct, it did not. however, normal text's would go through, just not any pics. i could send and receive normal words with no issues.
then just today, i totally lost internet connection--although the 3g is lit up on top, and i have 4 full bars of signal, i cannot surf, all i get is "unable to display webpage". since im at home, i turned on the wifi option and connected through the router in my house, and all worked fine-- i got online, send pic texts, etc...but when i turned wifi off, nothing.
now, back when i rooted the phone, i still kept getting the annoying "system update" messages that the phone normally does, forcing me to install whatever update the phone grabs. to prevent that, i did the steps on this site which was here--
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388778&highlight=freeze+ota
and disabled my update notifications. well, back to the beginning--now i have no internet at all and god only knows what else is wrong that i have yet to discover.
only thing i can think of at this point, is to unroot the phone , return it to the way it was and see how it goes but i dont want to do that--
any ideas?

Why not nandroid a backup of your current setup and then do a full factory reset wipe and ODIN over a stock rom and see if that fixes it...if it does then there is no reason to bring a perfectly good phone back.
Diagnostic process bro, get on it.
However if that doesn't yield any results? Might be bad hardware (which I doubt) and probably not your fault.
EDIT: You haven't changed your PRL by chance, have you? Sometimes on 11115 or 00001 I get intermittent MMS function...and a few times, legit PRL or not, my wifi/4g have just stopped working. A wipe and stock-restore took care of that every time...though that was a week or two after the phone came out and we didn't have nearly as many tools and options as we do now.
Also, are you sure that you haven't somehow disabled 3G or put it into airplane mode? As insulting as that sounds I have to ask....
...sometimes even the brightest of us forget to plug things in.
Odin restore would be the first step.
I would try ##72786# in the dialer then entering your msl. After that just just hut yes then let your phone do its thing and reboot and reactivate. Just remember to cancel it during the firmware check.

Good call...or even just trying to refresh your profile under 'updates' would be the easiest place to start...
The mms issues are likely a limitation of the ROM you are running (I haven't run Starburst in a couple of months so you'll have to ask about that in the ROM thread.) Easily resolved by using a third party app for mms if it is an important feature for you.
As far as the rest, the code provided by beejis is the reprovisioning code, also called a hands free reset and there is a bit more to the process than he stated (at least for a noob.) Hit the toolkit link in my signature and you'll find step by step instructions.
If that doesn't work, starting fresh is an incredibly simple process.
Also, posting the exact same question in two different forums is breaking a Cardinal rule, so you probably want to refrain from that, it won't win you many friends.

If you have titanium backup, go into that app then click backup/restore at the top. Find system updates and click on it to see if it's frozen, if it is defrost it. Then try my steps again. Other than that I'd try to Odin a stock ROM.

ok thanks, i went back to odin stock rom, did it from qbking77's post and the phone is back on stock...however............still no internet/data!!
i did do the ##number thing, the phone rebooted but notihng happened--i thought it was supposed to auto activate or something. so i went into settings/about phone/update profile....it scanned and after a few mins, i still get the error message "update could not be completed, if problem persists contact sprint customer support"
so im back on factory rom, but nothings changed---im where i was before--no data/internet....
before installing a different rom and such, i figure ill stop here and see what other suggestions may come about....sooooo, what next?
Take your phone in to a sprint store, an exchange may be in your future.

what if i did a total wipe, factory reset? i know ill loose everything on the phone, and now that its not rooted any longer, i have no way to back up anything (or at least not that i know of)
just hoping theres a better fix than a return/ factory reset
Now that you are stock, call sprint tell them your issue (only tell then internet doesn't work) and they'll do stuff on their end to trouble shoot it. Hopefully that will fix it.

That sucks, I'd recommend taking the phone to Sprint/where you bought it, and get it replaced/fixed. Good news is you're now back on stock so they won't really look into rooting as a problem. I always put phones back to stock before I take it in for a claim.

yea, dunno...
i did call sprint per Beejis reply here just above yours. after going through a ton of crap that i did yesterday and all today, the ## number crap, they tell me there's a nationwide outage. now i find that hard to believe since both my other phones in the house, wife/kid work just fine and they have data/internet and other ppl i know have no problems....i told the tech person that it just must be my phone only cuz everyone else's seems to work.
she did give me an outage number, maybe someone on here can verify it -- 8622911 so who the heck knows. what i do know is, i sure spent a heck of alota time on here, resetting my phone, unrooting, blahh blahh just to find out there's an outage which i doubt in the first place ...
we'll see,,,,,
If you are now stock/rooted, sounds like you need to use sfhubs auto root script to go back to stock recovery (overwrite your custom recovery) unroot, and take it back to Sprint.

but yes, looks like im headed back to the store-- i got it at best buy, have insurance and all that, but ill wait till tomorrow or something just in case this phantom outage corrects itself
by the way, where do i find this sfhubs root your talking about?

Hey guys,
Ever since the ICS update, my GPS has been failing to lock, even when 10+ satellites are visible (according to various GPS utilities).
I've tried all the GPS fixes (external_lna = 0, updating certificates, switching to non-ssl, adding time servers, AGPS reset/download, etc).
I'm trying to determine if this is a hardware thing, or a software thing.
Can anyone post their ROM version, how many satellites are visible, and whether or not you get a fix after one minute (outdoors)?

Which one did you use ? I also am having a horrible time with GPS not locking.. I've tried editing my gps.conf, external lna=0, gps aids etc etc and still can't get this thing to lock after ICS update using UCLH2 Literom 0.6 build by thegreatergood, as well as with 9 satellites located... Iwill lock but as soon as i move my phone I loose it.
I used the gps 3.1 from the site mentioned in the above post but still have no success in locking GPS.
Yeah, I tried the AGPS patch.. no dice. I'm suspecting it's not an AGPS issue at all. A cold, unassisted lock should take no longer than a minute or two; this feels like something firmware or hardware related.
I also had this problem but for longer time, my gps couldnt lock with GB either..It took about 10 min, sometimes even more to lock.. or sometimes just simply didnt lock.. so I tried every possibilities Ive found, and after long weeks of searching and trying millions of useless apps and fix methods,I found this app,called gps doctor:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...edium=organic&utm_term=gps+doctor+google+play
after a little hesitation I gave it a try.. yea i know it costs about 2dollars but it was my last hope and i was about to give up trying, so i really hoped this would work.. and so it did! Now I get a lock within seconds!
sometimes my gps starts to be ****ty again though, but that is when I open the app and press quick fix, that makes some kind of "xtra injection" i guess.. After seconds everything is back to normal for days/weeks and I can actually use navigation and positioning without a problem, like never before

I'm going to play with it a bit more to confirm this issue... I've been having some minor issues with the ULH lite rom I've installed so I'm going to bounce back and forth and see if this seems common.
I can post my gps.conf if I find it works.... I'm on Rogers in Canada. My GPS was also working in GB so not sure what your issue may be..

Hrm. Well, spam or not... it actually seems to have worked! I bought the app about an hour ago, but only tried it just now since you posted the warning. Got a lock in about 45 seconds, and warm restarted in under 5! I wasn't able to get a lock after 15 minutes prior to that...
So, could it be simply invalid or stale data gets cached on the GPS chip, and it's simply a matter of purging it? Looks like that might be the case!
I'm running the stock UCHL2 build and LiteKernel v1.0, also on Rogers.
I'll keep testing over the next few days and post my results, but it looks like this fix may have done it!

I cracked and bought it too ... i'll also follow up...
so far so good, gps locks quick in gmaps... less than 20seconds.
From what i've read you need to keep it installed and run it periodically, i would love to know what it actually does behind the scenes so it could be made free and contribute to the scene.

2$ is not much when you think of it. I may buy this as well but want to see if JB fixes all our GPS issues first since I will be switching to it once the camera is fixed. I agree if it is only deleting some files we should be able to do this ourselves but it states that it replaces some files with valid data. Here is what they say they do"GPS Doctor works by clearing stale cached values that can mislead your GPS chip as it searches for your location, then injecting the correct values into the chip using data downloaded from NTP and XTRA servers."

Actually, I gotta say it is a very well written app, and appears to do quite a bit. I suspect the GPS problem some of us are seeing on the Glide is endemic across all Android devices (possibly other OSes) too.
I've had this problem on every phone I've ever owned. Some worse than others, obviously. But, the day you buy it, it locks in 5 seconds. Every year seems to add 5 minutes to that lock time. I assumed it was antenna degradation, but maybe it is just a bug in the sirf firmware; it continues to accumulate bad predictive data and never expires it.
I suspect this won't be the last device I use GPS Doctor on, and to say $2 isn't very much is an understatement. :good:
Totally buying this app, but, I'm pretty sure anybody with some coding skills, can take it apart and make it part of the system.
Any takers ? dman ? If you, or anybody can achieve this, $ 10 are waiting on my PayPal account. You can ask dman, I've already donated more than $ 40, and I haven't even downloaded his ROM yet XD
As much as I'd like to see this incorporated into CyanogenMod or something, I also don't want to cut out the developer who worked hard to figure out what this problem is...
I just downloaded/bought it. $2 is cheap. I finally bought Titanium Pro, since I've been using it forever too. Rather than paying someone else to make it free and undermining the work of the original developer, why not support the original developer? Imagine how you might feel if dman was the developer of this and someone from another forum broke it apart and incorporated into their ROM, for free?
Thoughts on the app, though? Wow! It locked my GPS immediately. Sideloaded it on a few other devices I have just to see how it handled... And yeah. 5 seconds and it locked. Just amazing. Removing now, but this thing is totally worth it. $2 well spent!

I totally get your point, but you have to admit that having this feature available for any ROM Developer to put it into his own ROM, would be a major breaktrough for the Android Community, just think about it, GPS lock, in just 5 seconds, whatever devices/ROM you're using, sick !
Conspiracy theory time. So like, what is it about SIRF chipsets that makes them prone to degradation over time? As I mentioned earlier, I've had this problem on countless devices.
It seems like such an obvious problem, solved by either regularly purging stale data, or at least to presenting the user with a reset option.
What hasn't Antenova, Google, or even Samsung resolved this issue? Planned obsolescence? Do they just not acknowledge the issue?
Even after paying for GPS Doctor I'm still having issues locking a signal ... It took about 5 minutes the other day to lock on, while my TomTom was working the entire time guiding my way.
Other times I can lock w/ GPS Status in 24 seconds.
This morning I tried again from a rural area outside of my city (Calgary) and after sitting for 2 mins, no wifi anywhere near, I didn't even FIND more than 1 satellite let alone lock onto a signal.
I've tried using gps doctor, resetting the info re-download agps settings ... nada.
I'm going to flash back to stock GB rogers build sometime in the next couple of days w/ Odin and see if I can get the GPS to lock.
I'll need to do some more reading as I've read there's more than just the gps.conf that are involved in finding the signal (ie certificates etc.).
If someone can summarize which files I should look for if I get it working or point me to the right thread to explain it, it'd be much appreciated.
(and soadzoor my apologies for accusing you of spam, gotta be wary on anything internet these days )
No problem
another suggestion: last time my glide had troubles with even viewing a sattelite,just like yours.. Not even the gps doctor helped, but when I RESTARTED the phone AND used the app again, I got a lock in 20 seconds under clear sky.. if Im indoors, the chances are a lot worse to view sattellites and lock to them.
so u can try restart the phone and then try again, let me know if it helped..
by the way im also thinking of going back to GB, I had less problems with that (less bugs,smoother gameplay), but first I'll try dman's JB. just waiting for a release that camera and physical keyboard work on

Ya I've found that helps too; actually pulling the battery used to help on my old phone. Seems the GPS chip doesn't always power down across reboots.
Also waiting for dman's JB. I think CM will solve so many issues on our device. Can't wait.
Fixed by the new ATT update. FYI.

Is anyone else seeing the error message "Unfortunately Bluetooth has Stopped" pop up repeatedly, as often as every 1-2 minutes? This happens even when I'm not connected to a BT device. It started happening to me yesterday and it's driving me crazy.
Checking logcat, I see these messages: pastebin. I was wondering if it's a manifestation of the bug in this article at Android Police, but surely that has been fixed by now? I'm presently unrooted and totally stock so I'm thinking a factory reset might be my only option, unless someone can suggest something else?
Yes!
Exactly the same thing. Driving me nuts.
I've tried to trace to an app but no luck.
Also totally stock, unrooted.
(Telstra Australia image).
Have been putting off reset as long as I can.
I see you are in Oz also.. are you running Telstra stock image?
I spoke to their online 'help'.. who said that it would be an LG issue and to talk to them.. confirming that they believe LG are responsible for all the QA on their image.
I'm going to factory reset... and see what happens.
No, I have the international H815. I've had it for a couple of months and this just started happening yesterday.
Do you perchance have Garmin Connect installed, and talking to a Garmin device?
hmm... no.. I don't... (this sounds like a game of Guess Who).
My son was getting the same problem on his S3.. but associated it with Spotify. Once he uninstalled the app, the problem went away.
I did have Spotify... but uninstalling did nothing.
Just went through phone looking for 'bluetooth' stuff. Have uninstalled Fitbit, LG Health, IFTTT,
All smart settings are off.
Restarted,,, waiting for error.
I'm suspecting it will work ok... for a while.
I'm now wondering if this is a manifestation of this problem, as the OP was getting the same message in his log as I am seeing. If so this is pretty grim. I use the phone to listen to music and podcasts in the car all the time, so if this is going to keep happening then it's severely impacting my use of this phone. I guess we can only hope that LG come good with a software update that will address this, unless someone else has a workaround?
I'm also having the same problem, I cannot seem to pin it to a specific app. I've tried clearing the Bluetooth cache and even a complete factory reset and I am still getting the same issue, if someone has a fix please post it's driving me crazy

Did your phone do it from Day 1 or did it just start doing it at some random point in time?
Also, when you did a factory reset did you perchance use LG backup or something to save your settings?

Yes it's done it since day one when I got it (about a week ago) once I did a factory reset I set it up as a new phone and downloaded my apps from the play store, the only thing I didn't try was streaming music without any apps installed and just using Google play music to steam music via Bluetooth, without doing that it's hard to tell if it's a lg issue or a 3rd party app that is causing it

Me too, though SGS5 handset, and only started yesterday morning.
Telstra Australia image, stock unrooted, cleared blue tooth cache and data, removed all paired devices, removed battery....still no joy
Would be great to hear if anyone has found a way to resolve.
Thanks

have you guys maybe trackID installed? for me bluetooth was off but i had this problem that bluetooth has stopped and uninstalling trackID solved it.
maybe i could help you
No TrackiD for me.
I seem to be able to make the error appear when I'm scrolling down Facebook news feed.
No error when Bluetooth is off.. but that's not an option for how I use my phone.
I don't have TrackID installed either.
I did a factory install last night and let my apps reinstall overnight. I'm not getting the error this morning and was able to drive to work listening to podcasts with no disconnections. So it's "fixed", for now at least, though I fully expect that it will return at some point in the future.
If I do a factory reset will I lose root? Thanks in advance

Bit the bullet and did a factory reset last night, problem solved.
Appears it was a Telstra update that has caused the problem to several brands of phones.
were you rooted?
I want to do a factory reset but I'm rooted and don't want to lose it.
thanks

No, I was on stock Telstra modified firmware
use logcat to track the issue, it can be caused by bad data from apps, usually if you wipe the data it can be solved
try clear the bluetooth settings, it can be corrupt data
Factory reset, and restored from full LG Backup.
Haven't seen the issue for a couple of days.
I had this problem and found out the cause was Spotify, I uninstalled it and re-installed it and havent seen the issue for over a week now
The problem came back after a couple of weeks.. and is just constant.. even when factory reset back to stock and no apps installed.
Rooted phone. Froze 'Android Staten Webview'...believe issue resolved.
I finally for myself to catch up on updates a couple weeks ago. And since then I haven't been able to hold a connection to mobile data at all. Occasionally I get lucky and it'll work for a bit, but never stays.
Seems like other people have had this issue, but namely on Sprint. I tried resetting my network connection settings, but that didn't help. Nor did starting on safe mode.
Is this a known issue still? Is there a solution I missed somewhere?
Did you try factory resetting? That sometimes helps and is worth trying.

Not yet. I've been holding out hope that I won't have to.
Will probably try that in the next few days if I can't find another solution.

Understand that feeling for sure! I hesitated as well, but it did improve things and was surprisingly easier than I remember.

Just bit the bullet and tried - in so far my phone will only pick up a 3G connection, and only if I turn my wifi off.
Scratch that, nothing has changed.
