[Q] Gmail wont sync and mobile data Issues after Gummy ROM 4.4 installed on S4 - General Questions and Answers

I just flashed Gummy ROM Kitkat 4.4 on my sprint S4 and I am having a few issues. My gmail will not sync anymore. the generic email app gets my emails right away, but gmail app will not sync. Also seems like mobile data is not working right, its really flaky now, keeps cutting in and out....mainly out, the only time I can actually do anything that needs data is through wifi. Just wondering if anyone else had these issues or knows how to fix them, before I go back to stock. Thanks much.

Also, my battery is draining about 20-30% an hour. Could it possibly just be a bad install or something? I am fairly new to all this, so just wondering if it could be an install problem, or just bugs with the ROM still, or if there are any fixes for the issues I am having. Thanks again if anyone can help.

Anyone having Genie/News & Weather Widget problems?

I can't get it to load feeds on the widget, or even within the app itself. I've tried using a data connection and WiFi, deleting the .apk and reinstalling, switching between Eclair and Froyo builds, and nothing seems to work. It seems to have started earlier today or late last night. Not sure if this is possibly a Google issue, or what the hell else it might be. Thanks.
Everyone is. Google problem.
Cool. Thanks for the reply.
same problem here since yesterday.
Add me to the list too.
+1, same here
me too... =(
it should be back up now..
its a google error
EDIT
its back up for me

[Q] Gtalk - Friends showing offline

Hello al! I was wondering if any of you have this problem....
Friends show offline after some time using Gtalk or when switching from Wi-Fi to Mobile Data
I have to sign out and sign in again...
Anyone else has this issue?
I have the same issue, and it's pretty annoying. Don't know how to fix it
It's funny how there is no fix. Most probably its because many people use other chat clients.

I would think GTalk is quite popular. Anyway I have been having this same issue, and it's really annoying!
It seems the problem is present on multiple devices, so it's likely to be related to Google Talk itself. In order to maximize the efforts to find a solution it's better if we focus on one topic only. The following one seems to have the greater number of replies so far:
Google Talk issue - after a few minutes Contacts are all offline when not
Sorry to necro, but it's either that or starting a new thread on this.
I have this issue myself on my Galaxy Nexus GSM.
It happens very regularly, and regardless of ROM/kernel. I've had various configurations and this issue has never ceased. I hoped Jelly Bean would finally fix it, but it hasn't.
I have tried everything under the sun. Clearing data, cache, etc. - I can't work it out. It seems like a server issue, yet I never had this problem on my previous Android (2.1, Galaxy Spica) and my friend (Desire Z) never has this problem, nor does my girlfriend on her Galaxy Note (with the same Gtalk version)
It boggles the mind.
Every so often, everyone just shows as offline, when they're not.
This happens on 3G and WiFi and doesn't seem to be an issue with handoff either. Sometimes I can rectify it by signing out/in, or simply by sending a message... but other times, that doesn't make a difference either.
Why does this happen??
On top of all this, Google Talk seems to have a lot of issues recently with delivering messages on time - to the point that my friend won't get the message (or I won't get theirs), and messages often appear out of order.
Has Gtalk just gone down the pan? It's weird, because we never seem to have any issues when both parties use it in Gmail on the PC.

Exchange profile randomly disappearing...

Does anyone else have the problem of their Exchange/ActiveSync profile just randomly disappearing? It's happened 4 times now. Driving me crazy. Any advise? I can set it down and pick it up 15 minutes later and the profile is gone!
I'm running a stock/non-rooted GT6800 w/ an AT&T SIM. My exchange server is 2010. Everything works perfectly when the profile is there.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Honestly I wouldn't care, but most of my contacts are in Exchange and when I lose the profile, I have to re-enter some of the contact info in the phone that exchange doesn't save (Ringtone, etc.)
-TheFixer
Same happens to me. I thought I've done something wrong. But obviously it was not me but Samsung...
Don't know how to solve it other than using another Exchange app or wait until Q3 for the ICS update...
I'm running Tweaked Stock ROM V3 and I only sync mail, no contacts or calender and I've never lost any info or had any trouble? I'm connected to SBS2003.
Having the same issue. I've had my Tab 10 days now and during that time my activesync account has disappeared 3 times now. Have no idea yet what's causing it to happen.
I ended up just using the Touchdown app instead of the built in exchange client.

Still happening here. I am still on 3.2. I wonder if fixed on 4.0?
going to ICS fixed that problem for me

I have not had the problem going since going to ICS with exchange. you have lots of choices on which ROM version to install. the instructions on this site are excellent and should be followed to eliminate problems when you upgrade. hope all goes well.
Same issue with mine.
Mine is rooted with stock rom (3.2).
My exchange account stops working after around 2-3 weeks. It tells me it is something to do with a security certificate.
I then have to remove it and re-enter everything again to get it back
Kind of same issue for me under ICS. It sometimes loses all the Exchange information (Contacts, emails, etc...) and then redownloads everything
Needless to say it is costly in battery life and bandwidth use
That seriously pisses me off, since I had similar problems with my Samsung original Tab 7 !!!! Unbelievable they haven't improved since
Only way onmy Tab for me to ahve something working decently was imply to switch to CM...

Google Maps Settings Not Sticking and Wakelock

Hello,
I recently discovered that my battery life had become very poor, and so I checked the wakelocks and it turned out to be RilJ Dialer, leading to a mspi and radio interface wakelock whenever my signal become low or gone( I get poor reception in areas of my school). I learned that RilJ Dialer is used when apps are requesting network location through wifi only, and the most common culprit is Maps. I froze maps and the problem was gone, so I set out to fix maps. It turns out that the background location settings is stuck at manually set location when I try to set it to not report location, it will always change back when I leave the menu. Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling, fixing permissions, and going online and changing all my map settings through there, and nothing has worked. Is this a bug with Maps? I currently have is froze, and toggle between frozen and unfrozen when I need it, because it takes way too much battery in low/no signal locations. Thank in advance.

I've recently started experiencing this problem as well. My guess is you haven't found a solution yet?

Hey Boojay,
Unfortunately, I was never able to find a solution. I was using Cyanogenmod 7.2, and just froze maps when not in use and unfroze it when I needed it. A few weeks after the problem arose, I had some time off, and so I decided it was time to upgrade my software, and so I flashed Cyanogenmod 10.2, did all the associated upgrades, set up maps, and the problem never came back, and maps is working perfectly as of now on 4.3.1. I'm not sure what Android version you are on, but when I had the problem I tried everything in the original post, but it still didn't work. I understand that your post quite old, so hopefully you have found a solution by now.

No worries and I didn't find a solution, but I'm using a rom now where battery life isn't an issue despite that little quirk.
It seems Google's goal is to use more resources and keep track of our whereabouts at the expense of battery. I'm not too thrilled with the direction they're taking with their apps and OS lately, but what can ya do?

MOKEE 4.4.2 Network Issue - GT-P3100

Okay so i have 4.4.2 in my gt-p3100 and am facing continuous network loss.
One second its there and the other second it says no service.
Then it identifies my cell network but shows this -
No Service- TATA DOCOMO
(Tata docomo is my network provider)
This happens usually when i am about to make a call or message or about to recieve a call or message.
The incoming call gets displayed for a split second and then bam..!
The network goes away.
And then again it shows no service and the cycle continues.
Toggling the airplane mode on and off sometimes helps, but mostly i cant get it even after several reboots or sim changes and everything.
I am really annoyed now.
This started only 5-6 days ago.
I completely reformatted this tab and had a fresh install but still it continues.
I have a custom messaging app called 8sms and xposed framework installed although i use just X-Privacy.
Besides i read that moto G users in my region are facing the same issue in their current KitKat version.
Just for reference : https://forums.motorola.com/posts/027c60e48f
Any help is urgently needed, thanks.
Bump...???
I hope this helps.
Clean install ROM. do not restore backup apps first. first log-in through your google account and restore all..
I experience same problem with other roms also slimkat, sensonic, dhollmen. what i did is restore my contacts and apn setting from my google account not from a backup. i hope this helps.
Well i had just cleaned and installed but what i did was let google restore the contacts and apn.
Then i manually restored some apks via app backup and restore.
And then i used Titanium Backup to restore the data in all of them.
Is this the wrong way.?
Thanks btw.
@gangpe well i changed the APN as u said.
But i was playing GTA San Andreas.
And a call came and it rang for a split second and then same..the network goes away.
But it came back automatically.
Still the issue is not solved coz it happens randomly .
Is the apn still there, or did it disappear? I ran into an issue once where the apn did not save for some reason...

Well its still there...
I chose the same name for it too, would that conflict.?
Also randomly it happens when sending/recieving a message too.
I click on send and suddenly it says no service and then the message cannot be sent even after 2-3 reboots. :-/
Bump..
Any one know any solution..?
Its starting to get on my nerves.
Random no service msgs.
And wont get stable unless 2-3 reboots..:-/ :-/
Not sure what to tell you. A few days ago, I had a few weird issues (could not install xposed framework, quick settings panel would not work), so I ended up wiping cache, data, system, and dalvik. After wiping, I re-installed the ROM, and I have been good since.
In my case, there was probably an old setting I had that was causing issues. If you haven't tried wiping those four options, then I would suggest you try wiping/reinstalling.
If you have tried that, not really sure what to say. Sounds like you might need to head back to stock for a while until a later release resolves the issue.
Mmmm...the thing u are telling is a case of wrong dirty flash of a rom, i mean u must have flashed a previous version rom without wiping over other rom version.
I have faced this too..but the thing i was facing seems to have gone now on current latest release.
Dont know but i did not fixed permissions from TWRP this time after OTA and now the issue hasnt surfaced since 24 hours.
Maybe i'l wait some more and check and report back here.
Thanks anyways.
Now i m gonna pull my hairs out..!!!!
Wtf is this sorcery.. I was watching a vid on MX player and again the no network issue started happening as soon as a call came....!
This MX player is the culprit i think..usually while watching vids this happens...
Same issue for me on p5100, it happens both on Dhollmen and Mokee.
I don't have MX player installed.
Often happens when watching videos, but I'm not sure if it happens ONLY WHEN watching videos.
However, no further way out than rebooting.

Well i am facing this randomly..but usually while mx player is on.
I cant seem to find any solution to this.
In rare cases i need 2-3 reboots to fix this.
M soo very disappointed guys.
Have not a single site as great as xda and not many people are even looking at our problem.
I generalized the problem to most full screen apps.
And it happens usually while pausing the app and flicking down the status bar and doing some multitasking from there or pressing the home button.
Anyone....???
Or should i just try Omni Rom.?
Maybe Mokee has this bug..?
If you try Omni Rom, I really appreciate if you let me known the results in any case, since I have no free time and currently I cannot flash this rom
Okay mate, i'l flash that in about a week as my exams are going on.
Omni has just this battery drain issue.
It seems no one knows about the problem we are facing on mokee.
@loboz well i flashed omni and its feature packed..
No issues till now, a little different from mokee and you'l be glad you did as mokee's OTA are dead too..
Satisfied with omni..
