I have a annoying problem with the inbuilt Google Talk app on my Desire.
When I turn the screen off Google Talk disconnects from the server and I don't receive any new messages until I turn the screen back on. Google Talk displays a message saying "Lost connection to server. Messages will be sent when online".
I have "always-on mobile data" active in my network settings. Have tried to disable the automatic away status and even resetting the phone to no avail. I have also created a new Google account and that hasn't helped either.
I use my phone on the Aussie 3 network. Can anyone else with Desire on the Aussie 3 network tell me whether or not theirs is doing the same? Also my Desire is the Aussie Telstra branded one.
Just to note the only way I can use Google Talk properly is if I use eBuddy. eBuddy does not disconnect when the screen is off.
Hi danielhtc,
How did you go with solving this problem?
I too have a HTC Desire and use the 3 network in Brisbane. All was working fine with Google Talk up to a few weeks ago when I started noticing that I would just loose connection. Not sure if the problem started immediately after the Froyo update, I wish I paid more attention now.
Using the GTalk Service App from the market I see that I'm loosing connection all the time. At first it appeared to be random, and know it is almost everytime the phone screen locks.
I spent hours trawling the net and still have no answer. I have flushed the cached data for Talk, Factory reset the phone and even tried a new Gmail account with a factory reset of the phone, all to no avail.
I've talked with 3 and they calim they can't do anything to help me figure out what is going on as it not a 3 Australia supplied handset so no guarantees etc..
Strange thing is that it was working fine for months, and then all at a sudden problems... At the moment my money is that 3 has done something to their data network, however it still could be an issue with the phone. Unfortunately until I can try my account with a new Desire I wont know for certain.

So I got a Galaxy Tab 3 for free with my new Galaxy S5 yesterday. And on the notification bar there is a prompt saying preparing network. I have full bars on the signal but have no connection to the network. I tried rebooting, turning on airplane mode and trying to reboot the signal. But have no luck.
Is there anything that I can try to fix this? The Tab is stock and I haven't changed anything yet...
Any help would be great!!
Which tab 3 model?
Are you on the "right" network? Does you network have a hidden SSID? Are you using any security on the network? Check the network settings on your PC and copy them to the tab. If you are not sure, then open your network and see if the tab connects. If so, then you can close the network again.
I have the same issue but mine is working all networks. It started when I tried to connect to a new wifi at a wing place and the icon has been on ever since.
Same problem
So no one has any info or any suggestions? Nothing? Also I'm on Sprint.
I havent figured out anything , I have tried messing with sync and wifi options and nothing has changed.
I have looked at all the "Tab 3" devices since you did not indicate what model you have. With that in mind the search is very broad and data found could/could not be affecting your connectivity. But this is what I found.
All Tab 3, except Tab 3 Lite 7, use 802.11 a/b/g/n WLAN Standards. The Tab 3 Lite 7 only has 802.11 b/g/n. Why? I don't know.
So, make sure that your location has one of the three, 802.11 b/g/n working. You tab should auto acquire unless you have a setting that is specifically looking for a unique channel. Confirm all your parameters and the parameters of the WiFi source.
tab 3 prepping service solved
Ok so got 2 tab 3s from sprint today and same issue. To resolve this.......they are not activated! Run on wifi and go to settings and at the bottom left it will show a small phone icon and say activate this device. Click on that and let the live activation happen. The tab 3 will then reset and function on sprint networks!
Ok so that takes care of it initially and then it comes back on switching to and from wifi. You can get rid of the icon by going into the app manager, select all apps, and force stop samsung dm. Looks like it is a samsung software issue to me!
Man, the folks at Sprint aren't even aware of the issue yet. My Tab3 just sat there and wouldn't activate or connect at power on. So I have to skip all setup and go to activate in settings and it activated. Tried a factory restore so I could do setup again and no connection again and the preparing network problem. Switching to CDMA works. On the phone with support for like 30 minutes and they couldn't see my device on the network at all even while on LTE. Thanks for service reference. I was going to return this unit until I saw it was a software issue. It makes for a nasty setup/activation with no wifi around.
Sometimes activation fails and just gives a LTE error, sometimes it fails and sends data usage stats. When it completes it posts a backup pin and phone number. I'm guessing this happens with store pickups because they let it update on powering it up and that broken service starts messing things up.
Go to settings and then to activate this device and as soon as it starts to try and activate its self press the volume down 4 times and then you will see a screen that says IQTHiddenMenu....Scroll down to LTE mode and select it you will see a screen thatb has four boxes on it...select the one that says "enable LTE Mode" after you selct that then just hit back button a few times and let it try and activate again and this should fix your issues. You may have to do this twice. For the last 2 weeks this has been the only way we can activate anyones tablet is using this method, it has somehting to do with our Network not communicating properly with the Tablet.
Hope this helps.

Hidden screens. One has to love technology. So then one also has to ask, what else is the tablet doing that we do not know about? Reporting back to the mother ship?
Solution
So I had this same problem and I called sprint today and they were able to help me. THIS WILL RESET YOUR TAB AND YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING ON IT. Make sure to back up if you have anything important.
You have to open the calculator and type (+30012012732+ when the next screen pops up, type ##786#, the RTN menu will open, press Reset, it will ask you for your MSL, type it in and that will do it. Hope it helps.
BTW you will have to find a way to find your MSL as I never had to. I'm sure if you call your carrier they will give it to you once you tell them why you need it.

Looks like they are still having this issue. Mine was stuck on Preparing network. 3G and wifi worked, but no LTE or GPS. I did the hidden menu trick and now that all works, but I still have the "preparing network" notification. Is there any way to remove this? Could I do a ##RTN to clear network configs, then enable LTE through hidden menu, then activate?
Something to try that worked for me for the time being
I just thought I would share with anyone else having issues with the persistent Preparing Network message.
If you go to Settings>Activate Device and launch the Self Service application, there is a hidden menu accessible via the Menu Key, And you can then choose Reset Cellular Data.
Your device will then reboot, and it will go through Self Provisioning when it reboots.
I Had to do this twice, and 2nd time seems to have been the charm this time as the Preparing Network Message is gone!
Finally got rid of "Preparing Network"!

I spent 2 hours on with Sprint live chat, did a Kies reset, software hard reset, and everything else I could find...yet this solution was the simplest and the only one that actually worked!
Someone let Sprint support know how to fix their own device, please!
Thank you rastassjr, you saved me a trip to the Sprint store.
This is a common problem with an easy fix.* Long press the notification on the task manager.* A button will appear saying APP INFO.* Press that and you will see the app info page.* Clear the cache and data and more inportantly, deselect the notification checkmark.* Thats it!...*
OTA 4.4.2
Just got it on a new SG Tab3 7" and it cleared the "Preparing Network" icon. I had done a MSL reset yesterday and it had cleared it before I bricked it. I returned it, got a new one and it cleared it on its own after the 4.4.2 update.
Solved!
I solved mine after several weeks. First, oddly enough this error was preventing me from getting the 4.4.2 android update and the system said the operating system was up to date on 4.2. You need to download the samsung Kies program into your computer and perform a manual firmware update. The system will tell you that indeed you have the latest update but you'll do it any way. Once the OS is reinstalled, you will see that the PRL will be updated properly, which is the reazon for this problem. Then the system will allows you to receive the 4.4.2 upgrade which does not suffer from this problem. The key is to upgrade to android 4.4.2.
[Q] Wi-Fi keeps disconnecting and telling me that "Sign in is required" 2 days ago
Hi,
I have been looking in internet and didnt find any info about this kind of issue...hope somebody can help me with this.
The thing is that 2 days ago, when I return home I realized that my Wi-Fi wasnt connected, and in the Wi-Fi networks, under my Wi-Fi name I got the message "Sign-in is required" (which is weird because I neverd had to do that), after tapping on it and connect, it launches the message of "Sign in Wi-Fi network" and take me to the browser where it tries to open "google.es/?gws_rd=ssl " but nothing happens. Then after a couple of minutes I got disconnected with the message "this network has been disconnected. your sign-in timed out" and then goes again to the "sign in is required".
This issue only happens with my place Wi-Fi, at my office the phone connects to Wi-Fi and works like before and without any problem. And at my place it only affects to my Note 2, my gf S3 has no problem, some older devices like HTC Desire HD or Chacha also can connect to internet without problems, and the same goes for my laptop and ps3.
I tried changing network password, name and nothing. I removed the pass for my network and still the same...and after reseting the router no changes.
As far I remember the day the problems started I almost didnt use my phone, and didnt change any settings at all.
As for the device, I'm runing the original rom with android 4.3. On monday I had a small update throught Kies to "PDA:NE1 / PHONE:NE1 / CSC:NE1 (TGY)" and it worked perfectly.
any idea of what could be the problem?
thanks!
is there any solution to this?
I am having exactly the same problem with a brand new galaxy trend plus. since we bought it and brought it home yesterday I've searched all over the internet and tried almost every advice I found on problems with wifi connection, but with no success. the phone is running on android 4.2.2, and we have another phone and a tablet on 4.2.2 which never had any problems with the wifi.
I'm seeing what I think is this same issue on my Galaxy S5 on our corporate network. We have a captive portal page that needs to be accepted every few days, but once you accept once, you're good for that period of time. However, after that first captive portal, my phone is assuming that every time it connects there is a captive portal, so it isn't connecting automatically. If I forget the network and re-connect after I've hit the captive portal for that first time, it works as expected and will auto-reconnect if I roam to a different AP, etc.

need help!
Hi everybody,
Is there a solution for that problem? I did everythig that told in manу threads but still got nothing helpful. I found the Google developer's thread so it is suppossed to be not a bug but a special feature that no one can turn off.
I usually use pablic WiFi captive portals and nowhere I can set stable coonection on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 SM-T215.
I found a solution!

It's described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58252752&postcount=38
"Sign into network" auto disconnect
The sign in autodisconnect function is caused by an internal android system app called Captiveportallogin. I used romtoolbox to freeze it and configured my network manually after a day of it auto disconnecting.
Has anyone with 5.1.1 on the 360 tried the Google Maps application on the watch?
Does it ever get a GPS location? (I know the watch doesn't have GPS built in)
I assumed it would ask the phone for the location if they were near, or use WiFi geo-location if not.. but in all cases the location icon on the watch just spins, and clicking it says "Waiting for location..". It never finds a location and never even manages to find even my country never mind near where I am!
Thanks,
Sam
Mine does the same thing and also doesn't display anything on the map as well. It just sits there waiting for location with a blank map.
Odd. I dont use it since it chews up battery but I tried it today to see if I had the same problem. Opened up and locked <5 seconds. Nav worked great as well.
Hello everyone, I've had a problem for a few days. (I am from France)
I have a galaxy S10 running Android 10
And a Galaxy watch under tizen 4.0.0.4 (I'm waiting for 4.0.0.7)
The stand-alone mode works, but the remote connected mode (4G) no longer works. However, I am good in 4g on the phone and on the watch. Also, I have activated on galaxy wearable, the remote connection box. (see picture)
Is this a problem from Samsung? Watch? Phone? Thanks for your help ?

Have you enabled it with your carrier? Mine required an extra plan to be able to use the 4g with my watch.
Thanks U for your Answer.
Of course, it s actived
Sometimes I have to reboot watch to make it work
Good day to you I'm working on the assumption that it is something that has worked and stopped functioning temporarily.
I wouldn't worry about it too much to be honest.
The watch connects to the phone over LTE via some cloud servers, occasionally they have issues with getting the watch to connect with the phone effectively, it happened to me a few weeks back but sorted it's self out after a few hours.
If it's something that's been going on for a longer time than a day or so, then it's time to start troubleshooting.

thank you for the answer. I also think that it comes from samsung servers because even when my watch is connected by Wifi and the mobile in 4g (or wifi because I also tested) it does not work anymore. However, it's been over 2 days now, so I don't think it comes from the watch ... Am I wrong?
Hmmm, try uninstalling the wear app, then reinstall again, if that isn't working you can try resetting the watch to factory settings and try again, it is possible it's a Samsung service issue, definitely something isn't handshaking somewhere, 2 days seems a bit of a long time for it to be a service issue though :/
Well, I tested everything to find out where the problem could come from. However, less than one could say is that Samsung technicians are not ... How to say ... Responsive! And that's a shame. That said, the main thing is to have found (I hope) the solution, and that it could help people.
The problem came from the toggle of the request "notif arriving on lel" and which is sent to the samsung account and then that the watch receives it and by analyzing my samsung account (with a pc on the samsung site), it generates that the "cloud" part of my account was not active but in error (and no response from samsung on an e-mail that I sent to them, hence my amazement about the reactivity).
Suddenly, I had a second samsung account, I re-paired everything, put this new account in wearale (essential), checked on the samung site that cloud state "active" and the ca worked direct .....
So the mystery: why my cloud (which is used to receive notifications) was in error .... I would never know lol. Or was it a confluence between the 2 accounts? I don't think it worked before ... In advance, I completely deleted this account that had the error.
I hope this solution will be eternal lol and that it will help
