Force close and network errors - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have recently begun to experience a major problem with my G1 running the latest builds of Cyanogenmod (currently 4.2.11 but I have had the problem with the last few versions). What happens is that for some reason some apps force close right when I attempt to start them (Google Voice, or any app that has a camera running when it opens) and other apps can not connect to the internet. When I open apps like Pandora or Wapedia it says "A network error occured" or "Could not connect to the servers."
The weirdest part is that not all apps are affected. I can still access the internet through the default browser, and the gmail app. Also the default camera and camcorder apps do not force close and work perfectly. In addition these problems do not arrise for some time after a reinstall.
I have wiped and reinstalled different versions and even started over flashing an HTC update and then returning to a cyanogenmod version. I have wiped all the partitions on my SD card for apps2SD and recreated them. However due to the nature of the problem I have guessed it is some problem with Apps2SD but I cant figure out what it is. I have run the fix_permissions script, and attempted to remove/rebuild the market/app cache.
If anyone knows anything about how to fix this or has experience this before themselves any help would be really awesome. If any more information is needed to help diagnose this problem I will gladly post it.
Thanks again and sorry for the wall of text.

Sorry for self-bumping my post but I would really like some help because I have done everything I know of to fix the problem and looked around the internet for help but I haven't found anything similar to my problem.
Thanks

Im having this problem too and i have no idea what to do about it lol

Major problems, Browser "Web Page Not Available"

I'm updating this thread because I have even more problems.
I was able to grab a different Micro SDHC card this morning and I re-flashed the SuperD 1.11 ROM on the phone. It went fine and I tested the browser first thing. It hung for about 30 seconds, then loaded my home page. I thought I'd solved the problem finally, but I'm back to a non-functioning browser. The browser app opens, the progress bar starts, and then nothing. Web pages simply won't load. I have data up and down with the apps, text messaging works, phone calls work fine, just a dead browser.
One more new problem, maybe related. When I reboot, the widgets on my home screen sometimes fail to load. It's intermittent, not on every boot. I get the "Problem loading widget" error in each one's place. I can drag them to the trash and re-add them and they work fine.
I re-added all my apps directly from the market this time, re-downloading and reinstalling them on the clean install with the new SD card. I did a Nandroid backup after first running each app once to make sure everything was working. When the browser failed again, I did a Nandroid restore from recovery. It took about 20 minutes (don't think that's normal) and then when I rebooted I still have the browser failure. If I've uploaded correctly there's a pic of a very slow restore in progress.
At this point, I have to consider giving up. I would really like to have this phone working well again, and maybe donate it to someone locally. I have ordered another phone (HTC Desire) since it was about time for an upgrade, but I really want to solve this and fix the problem Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Below is my original post, with what I had tried so far.
Thanks - Tom
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm having major problems with the stock browser the last couple of days. I can't get any web pages to load.
I have data up and down no problem, over 2G, 3G and WiFi. My APN settings are correct, I've checked them repeatedly. Market, widgets, apps all connect great. In the search widget I even get the search suggestions as I type.
I had been using the stable Cyanogen builds for months now, with little trouble. This is a new problem for me.
I've cleared the browser cookies, cache, etc from within the browser settings. I also cleared the data from Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/Browser.
I'm experiencing this problem on more than one ROM. I tried the Cyanogen 5.0.7 test3 and gave up trying to make it work. (browser + USB mounting wouldn't work for me with Cyanogen) I am now on my second install of SuperD 1.11, same problem with the browser. I even went all the way back and re-rooted and re-flashed everything from the DREAIMG.nbh through to the Haykuro SPL, Radios, Amon-RA recovery v1.6.2 and SuperD again. I did that twice the last two days.
I've wiped the SD card and re-partitioned it correctly repeatedly while troubleshooting each ROM install. I'm using GParted w/Ubuntu 9.10 if that's important.
I've tried leaving the apps on the phone's memory, and with appstoSD, same thing.
I've tried both recommended radios (2_22_19_26I & 2_22_23_02), each radio tried on each ROM.
Tried fix_permissions from both terminal emulator and recovery console, I get "Permission denied" on each line, looping endlessly with the same error when it gets to com.google.android.server.checkin, and I cancel out of it.
Honestly, I'm a bit of a noob and I can't believe I haven't bricked this thing yet. There is a ton of good info on the wikis and many how-tos I have read and searched. At this point I am out of ideas and don't have a clue what to do next. I may be missing something basic here, but I can't find it. I have great backups of everything and so I don't mind all the flashing and reinstalling. I just want to have a functioning browser. Any suggestions?
tl;dr Ahhhhhhhhh! Browser no good?! Why?
On the bright side, I'm learning so much now with all this troubleshooting...
I installed Opera and Dolphin browser just to see what would happen. Dolphin failed exactly the same way, but Opera is working fine. I'll make it the default browser and just go from there. Too bad about the stock browser, huh?
Anyone.....Bueller......Bueller?
I'm also having problems with the stock browser on Cyanogen 5.0.7 based roms (tried test 1/2 and Superbad1.2.1). Browsing works sometimes on 3G but almost never on wifi. Other programs and widgets can connect just fine on both 3G and wifi. So I went back to a nandroid backup of Vegas Legend and 3G and wifi browsing works just fine. So I thought what about other Eclair roms and flashed Kings Eclair 1.9. Here it also works as it suppose to.So now I'll try test 4 or a rom based of it, wish me luck! I'll let you know if I manage to get it to work...
Good luck Enberg,
My problem spans multiple re-formats of the card and different ROMs. Cyanogen's 5.0.7 and SuperD 1.11 both. The problem can't be with their ROMs, since they are working for others. There is something wrong with this phone, or I am doing something wrong, I don't know. I fail to understand how a problem like this could persist between installs, re-rooting, changing SD cards, etc. I'm totally baffled. Everything but the browser works. The Opera Mini browser is my only option for browsing, and I just figured that out yesterday while troubleshooting.
I try the browser on 3G, WiFi, even tried a neighbor's open WiFi to see if my router was somehow the root of the problem. No luck.
My new HTC Desire is shipping today so I will just let this go and trash the G1 in a few days. It's too bad because I really like it still and ran different ROMs/themes, etc with no issues like this. Time to move on.
Solved it! After numerous reboots and reflashing I remebered that old Hero ports usually required that you on first boot skipped all accounts setup etc and once you got to the start screen immediately start market. Then setup a google account and accept EULA for market. If this was not done market would not function. So by old habit this is what I always do after flashing something new. Since my last post Ive tried at least many different rooms (eclair without sense like CM5, ZXK Eclair and Superbad...) this way with the same result, none working stock browser (also Dolphin and Skyfire none working) on wifi but market, email, Opera etc working. On 3G everything works including stock browser.
This time I wiped everything (as usual) and flashed SuperBadCM5 V1.2.4, skipped accounts setup at first boot and once I got to the start screen I started Wifi and then started the browser and it worked! Then I started market, setup google account and accepted EULA. Then I tested turning off wifi and starting it again and browser still works!
Dont know if this procedure was what fixed it or if I was just lucky. Anyhow, I'm going to leave my phone as it is now for a while not trying to push my luck! Hope this helps.

News & Weather Widget Unable to Connect

Hi,
I recently got AT&T Nexus one and is on unrooted stock firmware.
I am getting 'Sorry, unable to connect. Please try later.' with a 'Retry now' button.
The internet connection is working fine everywhere else. I can add apps from market, browse using browser, Beautiful widget work fine with weather taken from internet.
Any idea what could have been the issue?Since it is a builtin widget, cache cannot be cleared. Tried everything I can think of, like restarting phone, using 3G, WIFI, EDGE/GPRS connection etc. Still it is unable to connect.
Anyone else has similar issue?
Regards
HAX
I have similar issues. Sometimes I also get the 'Sorry, unable to connect. Please try later.' message but the bigger issue is that the widget force close every time when I try to scroll to Top Stories tab. I can see the headlines changing on my home menu and I can read the news from other tabs but Top Stories and Weather tabs cause force close. If the widget gets stuck to "Loading..." mode I just remove it and add it again to my home screen and the headlines are back.
This started when I updated the CM mod from 5.0.4.1-N1 to 5.0.7.1-N1. Now I'm running CM 5.0.8-T4 and the problem persists.
I have tried to clear the application cache, fix permissions, reinstall, clear cache and dalvic cache but no change. Any suggestions?
I just started getting this out of nowhere too.
after i installed beautiful widgets 2
Getting same thing. Outage? I just flashed to bugless beast .2 (froyo 2.2). Just started today!
Same here.... getting the msg "Sorry, unable to connect. Please try later"
Running Stock 2.1 update 1
I'm also experiencing the same problem. It just says 'sorry but cannot connect to network'. I haven't done any changes with my rom cm5.0.7.1 neither have I added any apps. Wondering if this could be Google server problem any ideas?
Same problem here. Just started yesterday. Unrooted running 2.2. This is a bummer I used this widget pretty frequently. Has anyone found a solution yet?
same problem here running cm t5
same here
Same here, must be a server issue- panic over lol

look in settings.
if you look in the setting for the news it should have erased your topic selections
"Sorry network error. Please try again later."
I downgraded to eclair on a t-mobile unrooted nexus one for unrelated issues and still had the error, now I'm back on 2.2 FRF50 unrooted and still experiencing the issue. It must be a server issue at google.
Same problems here also; I am on AT&T. Does this app use Google's servers? Just wondering.

I am having the issue with 2.1 on AT&T Nexus one.
I dont have Beautiful widgets. So I dont think that is causing the issue.
I tried it on Wifi too and still have the issue. So could not be an issue with any blocked ports.
It loads the terms of service of google news under settings. So,it is strange why its not loading news.
Hope Someone has a solution.
Started having similar issues today, and can't even get it to refresh
A friend of mine has a nexus one as well so I asked him to load the widget and his works fine. Makes me think its not a server issue.
Seems a bunch of google services are acting up. Android development site has missing videos.
*sniff* *sniff*
Smells like an incoming update.
I miss this app =(
My credit cards don't accept overseas apps (beautiful widgets) so i'm hoping this comes back soon.
you sure
are you guys sure cuz i just tired the news and weather app and widget. n it worked fine. im on 2.2 on nexus one.
but this did happen to me once. i remembered that i had my gps turned off.
i think it was in setting --> location & security.
i hope that helps.

[Q] Market killing 3G connection

I have a weird problem with my AT&T galaxy tab. For the past couple of days, each time I launch the Market, my 3G connection is killed and I can no longer access the network, and of course I cannot access the market. As soon as I kill the market app, my 3G connection comes back.
I cleared the data and cache of the market app, did not solve the issue. When I uninstall the updates of the market app (reverting to the original ugly market app), everything works fine, but it then automatically updates itself and the problem comes back. I assume this is a problem with the market app itself and not my device (hopefully).
Has anybody else experienced this issue and found a fix?
I am running stock ROM with third party apps installed enables (done it with superoneclick: root, enable third party apps, unroot).
I have the amazon app store installed, so I can still buy new apps, but I would like to be able to get updates for the apps I have purchased from the market.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
What modem are you using? Does the problem happen when you are using wifi? I think the JMF modem that is available for overcome rom is weak and I get many dropped connections and slow data speeds.
I am using the stock ROM and stock modem, I have never flashed a ROM. It only happens with the Market App.
Same issue for me. I have a rooted stock rom.
I have the same issue. Also stock rom and rooted. When WIFI is on (and connected) the market works fine.
I have been beating my head against this since I bought one. I am rooted using....I think I used Super One Click......stock everything else with non-market apps enabled. I originally thought that Root had broken it; however, if I unrooted, reset to factory, I still had the issue.
After many hours at the ATT store and on the phone (and swapping the device once and SIM card twice) I had an epiphany. a Factory Reset does NOT wipe the Internal SD like I thought it did. It leaves /mnt/sdcard/ intact. So, just for kicks, I began looking at my folders here. I MAY have discovered something. Market started working after I restored this folder to it's factory content (deleted any folders having to do with Apps in general).
I can typically hold power, deactivate Data connection, wait a few seconds, re-enable, and I get 3g back (at least for browser and other apps, Market still fails).
I have PSX4Droid installed (PSX Emulator if you don't know). There is a folder here named /.psx4droid, so I renamed it to /psx4droid (If I remember correctly, doesn't the "." hide the folder......too long since Linux class). I then deactivated/reactivated my data, and the Market started working properly.
I am not sure if it has to do SPECIFICALLY with psx4droid or just the "Hidden" folder in general, but now my Market works. I have 2 more folders in this location (/.downloadTemp and /.FileExpert) that may/may not cause any problems. I will post my findings.
.....Okay, so I'm going to type what I write now....Market just failed. Now I'm renaming /.FileExpert....Let's see what happens......
Damn. Still fails. But I'm tellin' ya. There is something in this folder causing it.
Or maybe some app is causing it to break......I have Amazon App store installed, what about you guys?
I do have Amazon App installed.
Anybody with an AT&T Tab not having the issue?
Same issue here. I had the Amazon Appstore installed but uninstalled it probably a week afterwards. Rooted running stock, everytime I go into the market it crashes the 3g. I found a folder in sdcard/android/data that had a bunch of appstore files in it. I deleted that and still having the same issue. I have removed all 3rd party apps so I have no idea what is triggering this. Please help.
P.S. I can access the market on WiFi
This also happens to be sometimes, if you tap wifi on then off again your 3g should come back and work fine.
swyped from a galaxy far far away...
Unfortunately what you proposed did not work. The market is killing the network connection each and every time. The network connection only comes back when the market app is not active anymore.
Since everything works fine when the market upgrades are uninstalled, I really think it is a bug in the newer version of market. Hopefully, the next update will fix this.
Maybe when Gingerbread is out!
I'm thinking this has more to do with us having installed amazon appstore before it was supposed to be. Somebody is mad at us
Has anyone made any progress on this situation?
Sent from my SGH-I987 using XDA App
I really wish I would have made more progress. After all the trouble I had with the device with this issue, I was seriously monitoring the apps I installed and then testing the Market. I gave up after a while since I am on Wifi 90% of the time and hardly ever do I access the Market while driving. I still have a feeling that something in /mnt/sdcard is causing it. Like I had mentioned, I could wipe back to factory and the problem was still there. I seem to remember that it only started working proper after I had cleared this location of crap. I would think that a Market update would see a larger group of affected tabs than just a handful of us. This doesn't seem to be a widespread issue.
That being said......I have decided to move on to Gingerbread. Maybe that'll fix it
Hey guys, try this. Worked for me and my Data problems with Gingerbread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13751694&postcount=6
Basically create a new APN inside Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names. Only set the APN to "Broadband," save it (Menu button) and select the radio button for it. Instantly fixed my data issues.
Thank for the tip. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. I am running stock 2.2 and waiting for the official 2.3 update from AT&T.
Good Luck. I thought about waiting for the official.....but I also have a Captivate. We didn't get 2.2 until MONTHS after the rest of the world (I think it was like 5 or 6 months later). I didn't want to wait that long again.

Could you please report if the problem fixed with Gingerbread ?
At first I didn't have ANY cellular data until I created a new APN mentioned in the tagged thread (APN Broadband). Now I have no issues with Market. I wish I could trust AT&T to release Gingerbread in a timely fashion, but I know better. So instead, I flashed Overcome.
P.S. I really can't enough of the CRT lock animation......damn I'm such a geek....

Spotify not recognizing internal storage anymore

For some strange reason, Spotify no longer seems to recognize my phone's internal storage. I'm unable to listen to the radio and the following error pops up: 'No SD Card Found: We found no place to store our data, please check that you have a working SD card and free space". This started occurring after I upgraded to Mike's ARHD 10 (and remained after I upgraded again to 10.1). I tried Googling the issue, but couldn't find a single instance of anyone facing a similar problem. I'm fairly certain the rom is not to blame since no one else mentioned anything related to this--plus, the rom has been awesome thus far (just like Mike's earlier versions). I tried fixing permissions, and even re-installing rom after performing a full wipe. I also should mention that after uninstalling then re-installing Spotify, the app seems to run fine for a little while--but the error will rear its ugly head again after I try to open the app again at a later time . Also, I am able to access my internal SD card without a problem via ES File Explorer and everything looks about right when I go to Settings > Storage.
Any help would be appreciated
I get the same message when trying to start Spotify on my stock Gnexus. All other apps using internal storage works fine.
I have now uninstalled and reinstalled Spotify and for now it works fine, but I have to download all offline lists again

Thanks for the response. I started to receive this error (fairly recently) when I installed or updated my current rom. I got tired of having to keep re-installing the Spotify app, so eventually I went into Settings and decided to 'Delete cache and saved data' for the heck of it. This might not exactly be a feasible option for those who have a paid subscription and actual saved data, but I have yet to receive the same error again. :highfive:

Same issue here on my S4 (found this thread through the Spotify community... funny how us XDA members always end up troubleshooting products, lol). I was on Slimbean and thought it was the rom. Restored my stock Nandroid and got the same error a few hours later. Apparently, this will happen again later. Just wanted to chime in with my experience.
Same on HTC One. Put Sentinel rom on over the weekend, re-downloaded all my playlists and it worked fine on Monday...this morning, get the SD card message.
I was looking at where all my space was last night since I put Sentinel on and there was about 1.5gb in a Spotify folder under sdcard/data...the folder has gone.
I will re-install Spotify and see what happens.

It's been my experience in my past two and a half years here at XDA that the developers of ROMs and homebrew usually find a solution before the actual app developers do. In this case, there was a thread in the spotify support forum. That led me here. *shrug* it's how we do.

I come to XDA to find workarounds but when I pay (subscribe to) for something I expect the devs to work on a solution, I think the people working at spotify would like to hear about your problem too, because you can help them but many other people would just give up on them...
I had a problem too and contacted them, they are friendly and responsive

Spotify has many issues with android and the sd card error problem,i personally read the spotify forums and there are hundreds if not thousands having the same error spotify really should get there act together and fix this after all it is a paid service and you should be getting what you pay for.
What i did was put a new sd card in formatted it using the phone and kept spotify out,everything worked fine,so my advice for now would be to avoid spotify at all costs as you lose everything thats on the card as well ,at least until they fix this bug,of which we are all having to pay for

[Q] Internal Service Error - Lack of network....

Several months ago I installed CM10 on my Nook HD+ and for the most part everything runs perfectly.
However in mid March I installed a Cyanogen update and very soon after I noticed many of my apps (all downloaded from Amazons app of the day) would not run, giving me the following error:
Internal Service Error: An internal error occurred. This can be caused by a lack of network connectivity, please make sure you have a good network connection.
At the time, I Googled and tried the suggestions I found (although the suggestions were all for other devices such as Kindle Fire). I checked the time and date were correct, deregistered and reregistered my device and tried rebooting.
And that seemed to fix the issue, although I concede I havent been using the Nook much lately.
Tonight I went to use my Nook to play a few games and the problem is back and its even worse now. I now cannot play any of my games, even ones I have played numerous times before without any wifi turned on. We dont have wifi at home, I tether my phone when I want to use the internet on my Nook. I do know there are some games that require internet access, however the vast majority of mine dont, which I know for a fact as I've played them so often with no internet.
So, why all of a sudden, does everything need wifi? How can I fix this? Is it just coincidence the problem occurred immediately after a system update, and if it could be the update that caused it, how can I find out which update it was and can it be uninstalled?
The instances of this I found mentioned online mainly referred to it happening to just one app, and some people found uninstalling and reinstalling the app fixed the issue. But I have close to 200 apps all doing this.
Since I mainly use the Nook for playing these games, its useless to me as it is now and if I cant fix this issue I wont have any choice but to remove the Mod and return it to stock software, which I really dont want to have to do.
Please can someone help me with this, in basic, non-technical language please?
Thank you.
Hello?
Please, does anyone have any input on this problem? Have I asked in the wrong forum?
I asked about this in another forum and it was suggested that maybe the update made my Nook appear like a new device to Amazon and that the error message is the games wanting to confirm with Amazon that the license to run the game was correct (or something along those lines).
I have just tried uninstalling and reinstalling a couple of games and now they work so it would appear that suggestion is exactly what has happened. So I guess I now have to uninstall and redownload all those 200+ apps and games, which is going to be a nightmare with no internet at home.
And if updates cause the device to appear different, then how do I know this wont keep happening with future updates? I am not going to keep reinstalling every thing, so do I just turn updates off instead? That doesnt seem like a very wise idea.
I would really appreciate some help with this please, or even just to be pointed in the right direction if I should be asking elsewhere.
Thank you.
Well I guess no one has any advise or help of any kind to offer. I will post this update in case anyone else has the same issue.
I ended up having to uninstall and redownload every one of my apps, and now they all work fine again, so I can only assume the suggestion I received on a different forum that the update made my device appear as a new device, meaning the internet was needed for the apps to check licenses with Amazon was correct.
With this in mind, I would now never recommend the Cyanogen mod to any one else. Whats the point if updates are going to screw everything like this? I have now turned off the updates, which I would normally never do. When my Nook gets to the stage of having to have updates I will uninstall Cyanogen and just go back to using a stock Nook.
Its a shame as I have been very happy with it up until all this happened but since there is no back up or support from anyone when things go wrong, its simply not worth the hassle.

With this in mind, I would now never recommend the Cyanogen mod to any one else. Whats the point if updates are going to screw everything like this? I have now turned off the updates, which I would normally never do. When my Nook gets to the stage of having to have updates I will uninstall Cyanogen and just go back to using a stock Nook.
Its a shame as I have been very happy with it up until all this happened but since there is no back up or support from anyone when things go wrong, its simply not worth the hassle.
