It means that the automated help check against an online database, like googling for a problem only within the program`s UI
Windows troubleshooter is one of those examples, it always checks online and never finds anything :silly:

Connection is required to send the "error Report "...

Picasa constantly syncing when there is nothing to sync

I've noticed the last few days and it bugs me. I hardly have anything in picasa and nothing had changed so wtf is synchronizing?
This happens on two phones, same google account, both on cm7 nightly builds. One is a Vibrant and the other is my glacier.
Any ideas?

Because it has to sync, even if there is nothing there; the point is that they are syncronised, the same, even if they have nothing there.
Just disable it if you don't use it

It's not a quick sync that disappears, it's an ongoing sync that lasts hella long.

But can't you disable it at all? Through the settings?

Ah, I took "hardly anything" as nothing xD My bad...!
Have you tried disabling and re-enabling Picasa from your phone? Basic thing I know, but this has worked for me in the past

Browser won't load anything?

Running CM7 stable, No matter what I do I cannot get anything to load up in the browser, But I known that data is working as I can use the market and twitter/facebook/g+
Also the XDA app works just fine also so it is certainly limited to the browser.

If you've downloaded it before with the same google account you can check in the playstore under myapps> all. Theres a list there of all the apps you have ever downloaded on that account.
Hope this helps

Location problems

My phone after many ROMS has lost the ability to locate itself. I'm not talking about gps either. It simply can't use any network to locate itself. Anyone encounter this or know what to do?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Explain what locating itself means and some of the steps you have already taken and did/didn't work. Elaborate a little bit more so I can understand the issue

I can confirm that every time I flash a new Rom it takes a long time (2-5min) to locate itself for the first time.I haven't paid to much attention to see if it's getting worst.

Odin a stock ROM and see if you still have the problem. That should eliminate a hardware problem.

I have just learned to assume people are. Especially people who are the only ones reporting a problem.
Your phone will use triangulation(cell), gps and wifi for location. It is really hard for me to believe that all three of those have failed. So either your missing the glaringly obvious or you are the unluckiest person ever to own the Rocket.
OMG I've been through this nightmare and here is what I did:
Yes you know and you already did it but make sure and here is why:
There is a Green button in apps menu (Google Settings) that overrides all the maps locations, ads, searches and other junk. Go in there and toggle location settings on/off.
There is a Blue button in apps (Google Now) and have that on too for now until you get it working but the Green (Google settings) supersedes all and blue doesn't have to necessarily be on.
Good luck champ!

AutomateIt

Hi everyone,
just wanna share this awesome app called AutomateIt
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwyLDEsIkF1dG9tYXRlSXQubWFpblBhY2thZ2UiXQ..
it can do A LOT of automation like when leave home turn off wifi, turn on bluetooth, vibrate...etc
I really like it. Its like an enhanced version of avatar's weebo app.
Enjoy !
I like the "lost my phone" rule a lot.
You text "lost my phone" to your phone and it sends an sms back to sender with last GPS and network location.
Cool!
You can also get NFC tags and do this too. I am going to buy NFC tags and try it out.
