Help! I have a motorola droid running froyo 2.2 and am having
problems authenticating gtalk. It only works every now and then, and that's because I used another acct and shared my calender with it. I am on the crickegt network so I cannot reset my phone. I am also having 3G problems where my 3G servce just stops working after a time of non usage. It shows 3G on tghe stgatus bar but says no connection unless I power off and on my phone. Please help.

I've noticed the same thing on my droid on cricket. What's happening is, the u2nl script is dying, either from inactivity or something else. Download "gscript lite" from the market and add your /data/opt/autostart.sh script as an option to run. That will kick start u2nl again.

I added autostart as a script to run, but it did nothing. Any other hints? Thanks a lot.

Hello!
Just got my g2x today and i love it. However, when I'm connected to wifi, 4G is on at the same time! When i'm downloading an app, i see the arrows light up which mean its using my 4G data. Anyone have problem with this? I turned it off to prevent using my data for now.
Edit:
Working Solution:
Okay what I was experiencing was Wifi and 4g on at the same time. Also, the wifi doesnt work.
It is due to My Account, however, you cannot delete it.
You must download "Bloat Freezer" Its a buck.
Freeze My Account. Easy to do. I had two My Account installed for some reason so i froze both.
Restarted.
WIFI WORKS!!!
Wifi off, 4g Turns on. Wifi on, 4g turns off.
Ya I had the same issue except I was on 2g. I noticed it was very slow so I disabled and re-enabled wi-fi and it worked fine after that.
Sigh.. now wifi doesn't work. Happened twice already. Works on my Nexus. Its happening to a few people on the T-Mobile forum. Becareful when you buy. Hopefully its software problem... ****ing lg

WIFI
Hello,
When I turn WIFI on and connect to my router, my 4g turns off.
Try turning on WIFI wait for it to connect and then open a browser session.
Works here.

I had this same issue and I found out the cause. First off, if you skip the initial setup and set it up later, you will never fix the issue. Particularly when downloading from the Market. You need to go to Settings/Privacy and do a factory reset and make sure you set up your Google account on the initial setup screen.
Second, make sure that your phone is not using any data before turning wifi on. If it is, let it stabilize for a few moments.
If this does not work, turn on wifi calling. Its better voice quality anyway and you don't get dropped calls.
This is obviously just a software bug that needs a patch to fix. I've seen far worse problems out of the gate with phones than software bugs as small as this.
I did set up my account at initial setup. Internet works on nexus s perfectly. I'm using 4g right now to type this. Lame....

I have actually seen this same problem on my Nexus One many times so I'm not sure this isn't just an Android issue, not a G2x issue.
My cellular data connection disappears when I'm on wifi. I use wifi often and never seen both active. My N1 was the same way.
When I disconnect from wifi, the data has to reconnect. Saves battery I guess.

I have two My Account running also. I'll try to root and freeze it.
Wow the 4G/2G goes off right away after I endtasked My Account, leaving Wifi icon only instead of both. So, it is really the My Account app. Thanks tony.
i second the "my account" advice. i used titanium backup to remove it (i had 2 instances) and wifi seems to be working fine now.
My Account doesn't fix for me. I think it is the Market app. Whenever I have both Wifi/4G, I endtask the Market and the 4G icon disappears right away. 4G icon comes back when I open up Market again.

Market did the same to me, but it stopped after I turned off mobile data and turned it back on. I think the MAIN problem is 'My Account'

I completely removed the My Account through Titanium Backup and still have problem.

Exact same thing happened to me. I exchanged my G2X in-store and powered it up, skipping the setup to make sure everything was working real quick and the Wi-Fi was being wonky until I did a factory reset on it and did the setup.
"My Account" is still running

the reason this does not work for some people is BECAUSE "My Account" (version 1.0)
is still running
even if you Freeze it with Titanium Backup it still runs
"Advanced Task Killer" does not list it so can not be killed with that
and can not be killed in the default android task manager
Bloat Freezer MAY be able to truly Freeze this program but i can not get the program to find out :-(
I'm overdrawn on my bank account right now buying this damn phone
Titanium Backup says it's frozen BUT if you reboot and go into your default task manager you'll see it started up and is running again.. with no way to kill it.
look if you don't believe me
Default task manager:
Settings>Applications>Manage Applications> "click running at the top" >scroll down to "My Account"
see it's running (and you thought TB froze it)
so my question is HOW to fracken kill this program with out paying a dollar. so Titanium Backup can freeze it properly
OR Just kill it
i don't mind killing it every boot if Titanium Backup can not freeze it properly
i just need a way to kill it
My work around solution is to turn on WiFi calling
BUT i don't want to do this
i paid 500+ dollars for this damn phone
i should not have to turn WiFi calling on JUST to run the Market and the web on WiFi
(sometimes it effects web surfing)

Bloat Freezer will work FORSURE. It cost a buck though haha. Maybe you can find another app that will work like bloat freezer

did you check your running apps ?
I'm just wondering if it is listed there
.
There is hope!
First off let me start with this my very first G2X had the reboot issue... got another one, NO MORE REBOOT!
But, I still get the DNS issue, where its connected to WIFI but it would load pages, unless u type its ip adress VS the w w w version.
While I was messing with the phone over the WE i started customizing the phone, dled go launcher and some other app to make the phone pretty...
Came across this... WIDGETSOID.
At first look you wouldn't think that this app would do anything, but it basicaly let you custimize trays, kinda like the power setting one.
Are you guys ready? WIDGETSOID has one option that you can incorporate with the tray, its called DATA SYNC NOW, not data sync, with data sync now it forces the sync AND GET YOU INTERNET!!!!!
Hope that helps!
Well I use WiFi all the time. I use it at work where there is no cell service and at home where I have 4G. I don't disable the cell radio but no issues. I'm on CM7.
I guess you are running stock where Tmo tries to force data over their network. Nice find.
I'm still on the stock ROM, the only time I've had any issues with wifi connectivity is immediately after switching over from T-Mo's data. Like when I come home and my wifi is already switched on and I try to use data just as I walk in the door before its fully switched or before I see the wifi calling icon show up. If I give it a few minutes it will correct itself everytime. On my phone, if the the wifi calling icon is on the task bar then both calling and data are working over wifi.
I have found that the stupid little USA Today app will re-establish data one way or another. When my browser is just spinning it's wheels I can fire up USA Today and a few seconds later the browser will respond again.
Hummm i am still on the stock rom as there is no custom rom stable enough yet...
And I have no data plan...
I hope that this little trick will help ppl with DNS issues =)
Screw Tmo and their data requirement!
set dns from the market does the same thing
Force Sync was a workaround for the Wifi DNS issue but it doesn't work on all phones and it isn't a consistent fix. The only known true resolution is to root (I used SuperOneClick 1.9) and then use either Titanium Backup or Bloat Freezer (I use Bloat Freezer) and freeze the My Account apps. In Bloat Freezer, My Account has 3 entries.

I do have a rooted phone, I uninstalled my account instead of freezing them, but I only had 2 entries and not three... What is the third one?!
Thanks
I only have 2 as well.

Doesn't work for everybody. I've tried the stock rom, rooted and froze them and deleted them. Tried froyo roms, same problem. The only rom that made a difference was the GB leak. I haven't tried cm7 yet.
I think the difference is boat freezer. I first tried titanium backup when the issue hit my phone and it didn't work. Then I used bloat freezer where I saw the third entry. I froze that and all of the other tmo bloat and my phone is now perfect. I do remember reading that you also had to freeze the car app along with my account to get the fix to work.
Unfortunately I don't know what the actual cause is this is just what I have done. I will say that when it comes to tech I'm not a noob. I'm an enterprise architect for a 250k seat shop and I'm an ios dev. But this issue is really unique because for the most part nobody has been able to establish a true root cause.

I have been able to randomly get market or android or whatever does it, to restore all my apps and settings. Other times (like right now) I am unable to get them to restore.
WHAT IS THE TRICK!? This is so frustrating.

As long as you log in to your Google account during phone setup, immediately after flashing, it should auto restore. Personally I avoid the "feature" as it is slow, even on a high speed WiFi connection.
I just can not get it to work. It worked on cm7 nightly but its not on cm7 stable.

I was able to get it to work by letting it sit before hitting "finish setup". I waited until the little sync icon went away before I hit finish setup.
Then again this was on a slightly different rom so who knows what the culprit was.

For some reason seems to be happening 4-5 times per day when I go to use my weather channel app or my radar now app my phone doesn't have an internet connection weather I'm on WiFi or mobile network. I'm lost. But when I reboot my phone it works fine till my lcd. Display shuts off. Any help?
Could Be ROM related. Have you checked the Q/A section or Rom thread for the ROM you are using. Sorry you Need to be more specific on your individual details about your phone to help diagnose.
Stock Rom.. ATT inspire 4g. Um. Android 2. 3. 3. Sense. 2. 1.. all I know.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA
OK lets first start off with checking to see if its the app it self or more than that.
When you cannot connect with the weather app try a data connection with another app/browser
