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) ?
I have the same problem as you and only after reboot I have throughput again

nahh my data connection it works fine after trying :O

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.

Google Play and Youtube connection problem..

That's my problem, Google Play can not connect "try again" and sometimes it shows me two erros: 495 y 923, and YouTube can not connect. But if i use 3G connection yes, It works!
*I already read the following things and i´m still with the same problem:
- "Reboot Mobile"
- "Clear cache and data from Google Play app and Market"
- Yes.. Gtalk works form me and i can talk with others..
- "Reinstall Google Play and Youtube apps"
- The date and hour its ok
In 3G connection it works, but if i change to wifi doesnt works. I can use internet with the wifi but google play and youtube dont. I've used the wifi connection since I have this phone and suddenly i have this problem.
Any ideas?

Androi Revolution HD 6.3.2 and i have this rom since 4 months ago and never had this problem, the only diferent thing i did was install NQ Mobile Security and its unistalled now.
Also installed "Signal Booster" and now its unistalled too...

Same problem here
Today, four hours ago happen you me same thing, market and YouTube stops working.
But just on wifi, I tried everything but notHing works, my phone in rooted, rom rooted but stock, any ideas?

I got the same problem but i have samsung galaxy s2 tried to use market enable to flash the ar&t service and my date was ok tried with wifi apps but nothing its imposible with wifi

Nobody?

ROM's go corrupt over time, esp custom ROM's, try a factory reset and see if you still see the same issue...do a backup though before you do factory reset.

Nothing, i did a factory reset and google play and youtube have not conection to internet.....

Recent development...cannot watch videos on any medium...

Running tommytomatoes classic rom
Everything has gone great for some time now until last week when I tried to watch a youtube video with no luck
The same thing happened when I tried to watch a video ANYWHERE
It says "Cannot play video unable to connect to server"
Any ideas? Other than the obvious...
My friends with unrooted and rooted phones are doing just fine...mine however is not.

Is this happening over WiFI , 3G , or 4G ? Is Data connection working correctly on other programs ?

Try uninstalling youtube,clearing cache and delvik and then reinstall it through the playstore,so its the most recent version,see if that works for you,the apk you have installed now could be corrupted.

none
Data connection works fine
It's not only YouTube though. It's any streaming video.

You sure you didn't change any settings? I've heard that zeroing out the proxy settings to try and speed up data can sometimes have this side effect.

Not unless it was totally by accident because I honestly have no clue what that even is...

Youtube, Facebook and Instagram Problems

Hey, I am on SlimKat 4.4.2 build 5 (not that it matters, as I've had this problem on all the ROMs I have tried) and for some reason the apps in the title don't work on my wifi. I have tried resetting the router, wiping my cache, forgetting the network, and a few other things, all with no success. The apps just try to refresh for a long time then say connection error. Surfing Google Chrome works fine on my phone, as well as anything else that requires internet. Any tips?

If just those apps won't work then maybe something on your phone is blocking those apps from accessing the network. Try clearing app data; Settings>Apps>Find Your App>Clear Data. Also do you have an AdBlocker that could be causing issues?

Mobile data + Youtube app = Connection to server lost. Touch to retry.

Hello guys,
My phone (Optimus G E973) is running stock rom (android 4.1.2). When I am on mobile data and trying to watch a youtube video, it says "Connection to server lost. Touch to retry." Regardless of how many times I touch to retry, the problem persists. I have done some research and it seems that others have this problem when on Wi-Fi or Mobile data. My problem only occurs when on mobile data. However, I have tried the recommended fixes to their problems. I have uninstalled and reinstalled youtube, cleared the data and cache, as well as cleared the cache from recovery. Does anybody have any ideas?
Thank you guys for your time reading this post.

I guess I was too fast to post up my problem. I had another problem receiving mms today and I looked into the APN settings. It appears the settings have changed from the ones I was using. Updated the settingsand all is well.
