I'm having some serious problems with Google Now.
About a month ago, maybe a little more, I noticed Google Now wasn't updating anymore. I had a card at the top that said "No internet connection. Content last updated x days ago." Weird, because I hadn't done anything different or noticed any other changes. Since then, I've tried everything to get it fixed. Whenever I first open the app after a clean flash, the initial "accept these things" comes up, but when I hit "Yes, I'm in," I get a toast notification saying "Network error. Check your network connections and try again." My connections are definitely working, as every other app works. I've tried on wifi and 3g/4g. Clearing app cache/data. Wiping system/data/caches, reinstalling. Tried 4.3, 4.4, 5.0, 5.1, stock, and TW. Tried multiple gapps. Tried different Gmail accounts. All do the exact same thing.
I've done quite a bit of research on the issue, and have come up empty so far. This suggested reviewing my connected apps and removing old or unnecessary ones. Nope. This and this suggested deleting card preferences, which seemed to work for a lot of people. Not me. I tried that, but got a toast: "Failed to turn off cards due to a network error. Check your network connection and try again." Some other place I can't find anymore mentioned checking my wifi proxy. Nothing wrong there though. The only thing yet to try that I can think of is a full-wipe odin, and I'm hoping to avoid that.
Has anybody else experienced anything similar or have any advice?
TL;DR Getting network errors for Google Now, even though my network is fine. Wiped, tried multiple ROMs, even multiple Gmail accounts. Still same error.
Hi,
did you ever get this issue resolved? I have tried everything too and still can't use google now. please help if you resolved this issue. thanks!

Well, I've searched and searched and Googled and Googled but it seems that this error persists for me.
I downloaded the MySpace mobile app from Marketplace and found that when I try to login, it provides me the error message, "Unable to contact server. Application will now close." This has been pestering me for weeks now. I have tried digging through the phone's internet settings, proxy, registry; everything looking for something. It's time I break down and ask.
Any insight on this issue would be well appreciated.

I had this happening all of the sudden as well. It has worked all the time. Though like a week ago it suddenly decided it doesn't work anymore and I see the same error. I already tried re-installing but no luck. Unfortunately all other apps are working (Marketplace, google maps, email, opera, motweets etc.)
Yes, it seems very odd. I am wondering why there seems to be no real solution. I have found many questions about it but no one seems to know why it happened.
Same situation here and still no solution found.
Its a large problem.
There are complaints all over the Internet about this. It has been going on for a while now. Even bigger problem is that once you install it, and it doesn't work, there is no way to uninstall it.
The Mypace application doesn't work anymore. It has to do something with their server, and I doubt there is ever going to be a fix..it has been like this since 3 months
Anyone having any issues with Chrome to Phone app from the market? Everytime I try to go through the setup i'm getting "Error: Unable to connect". Working fine on my Nexus 1 still, but can't seem to get my sensation to setup.
Doing this on 4G (Tried WIFI); tried reboot, tried uninstall, cleared cache...dunno what else could be up unless it's account related.
No issues here. Seems to be running fine for me.
Likewise working well here.

same issue here. havent found a fix yet
Looking over the reviews on the market it seems there may be a server issue with some accounts; counted at lest 5 people stating the same error hmm. Went to retry the setup on my N1 by removing and re linking now i have the same error on the N1. Using my secondary (read: porn account) it works fine :/
Hopefully it's a temp issue; C2P is invaluable for my travel!
Just bumping this with some more info; since all you guys are going to be flashing again now; you may hit up against this issue also.
They merged a couple bug reports into this one:
http://code.google.com/p/chrometophone/issues/detail?id=158
Please Star and comment if your having the issue also; they've yet to acknowledge this one just yet although it's been close to a year since first reported but as people began flashing more it will likely continue to increase; it went from about 5 till like June then jumped to almost 30 in July.
Not solved. Apparently I needed to use a VPN to connect my account though Talk. But now when my VPN isn't on nothing will sync and my gmail won't load. Until today I have never needed a VPN to log into my Google account. Something is obviously still wrong.
So I've flashed dozens of ROM's at this point and have never had this problem before. I have read all the threads and tried the following fixes ...
Pulled SIM and used WIFI
Factory reset
You Tube account ... This actually registers my Google info under accounts but won't sync at all. When I try to sync contacts or anything I get a red exclamation point and nothing happens.
Flashed other ROM's and different gapps.
Tried logging in though other gapps such as Talk and Gmail. Again YouTube will show up on my account tab as synced. It's green and looks synced but if I try to manually sync it the red error shows up again and nothing has actually been synced.
There must be a reason for this yes?
I should also mention that I'm in Shanghai. However I have never had a problem before. What gives? Why now? Could it really be that the server is down and I should just try again tomorrow?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Yeah... i've been having a similar problem in xiamen for about 3 days... china unicom?
Oh? And also never had this happen before? Happened after you flashed a new ROM?
I'm with CMCC.
What makes me think something is rotten is Chinatown is the fact that if I do use my VPN everything is OK. I'm hoping this isn't the case.
I'm searching for some old TB files I can toss on my phone to try and restore it to an earlier date. If that doesn't work maybe a super crusty old ROM will work. I really am out of ideas at this point.
I wonder if getting rid of root and going stock would fix anything?
Error Message
I have also same problem for past 3 days on China Mobile in Shanghai. I belive it should be something to do with the carrier or Network accessibility to Google products... I am on Galaxy S2.
Today I checked on couple of my friends with Nexus and Galaxy S1 and confirmed that they also face same problem...
Currently the only Google app that's working is Google Translate ... The rest however won't work without my VPN on.
So it looks like this is both CMCC and Unicom so far. I don't even know if there is anything else.
The funny thing is Google + has been working on my phone from launch with no problems. Not anymore though.
Anyway there are so many places selling Android devices in China I could only imagine that this is temporary.
I wonder if there is any way to edit some of the carrier info to make things work?
Apparently there is something going on, it looks like.
It looks like it's happened before, and after about 3-4 days it sets itself aright...
Anyone figure out a workaround? I was using a pretty good VPN, but the android version only has pptp and therefore barely works here. I can't get any programs, email, or anything on my phone after a factory reset... this makes me sad.
*had some links posted but I guess I need to post a few more times before it lets me*
Anyone figure out any updates or fixes for this yet?
It's been like that for several days now...I'm with CMCC. After sometimes it'll be okay as usual....black "magic" I would call it.
VPN is a no no for me, used to work fine till they block it. I'm using SSH Tunnel now...no problem in general except from time to time (once in a very blue moon like now) when "they" cast their "magic"
Without tunneling. market couldn't get through these days.
How annoying. I even tried taking out my SIM card, and doing a hard reset, and then trying to download my software from my WIFI, but it's not a DDWRT router so I can't access the VPN.
Is there software that can turn an OpenVPN connected computer into a Wifi router? If I logged into my computer which is on a VPN, maybe I could at least re-download all my apps from the market......
*sigh* or wait heh
I got the same problem like last 5 days ...i m in China too ..with china unicom ...i tried everything possible like factory reset, uninsalling and installing gapps, install stock image , cache cleaning ....BUT ...CAN'T LOGIC GOOGLE ....
at last i used VPN on my phone ..and its sync and connect in a second ...problem gone...Happy to have my fully functional phone back
MAGIC Happened again
Just trying to log into the market .. yes now we can access the market and other google products..
I've tried everything I can think of to resolve this, but I need some suggestions.
So - my husband finally got a smartphone, after getting by with a keyboard phone for years. I talked to him about different phones - iPhones even - and after looking at several, he took my advice and got a Droid Maxx. Of course I helped him set it up, etc. Everything went well for a day or two, but then he started getting all sorts of errors - Google sync problems, Google account sign-in problems, "Unfortunately Google play services has stopped" etc. I was able to solve most of the problems by uninstalling updates to Google Play, and a few other things. He was still having some issues, though. The phone occasionally shut itself off. So, I decided to do a factory reset.
Since then, everything is working much better. The phone hasn't shut down at all, etc. However, in the last day or two, he will get an error notification that's something like "Trouble signing in to Google Account". He has to tap the notification and enter his Google password. Then everything seems fine until it happens again sometime later. Now it's happening frequently
He has almost no apps installed. The two or three he has installed are the same ones that I have used forever on my android devices, including on my Droid Maxx and Moto X - so on the same or similar devices. I have checked every setting I can think of. He doesn't have 2-step authorization on his Google account and he never has problems with that account on his desktop, laptop, etc.
Any ideas what could be happening? He does drive through an area with no cell service every day, so that could have something to do with it, but I drive through the same no-service area, and I have never, ever had to sign in to my Google account after initial setup. Sometimes this issue crops up when he has perfectly good service.

i think that's the problem, i had issues the first time i passed by a no service area and the problem showed up ''we have trouble authenticating this account, tap here to solve'' and thats all. it solved with the tap in the notification, and never appeared again, i suspect your rom data its corrupted and i recommend reinstalling the phones firmware 4.2 or 4.4 whatever version is. that should solve the problems.

Thanks for your reply! Can you please explain what "your rom data its corrupted" means?
Also, how do I reinstall the firmware? This phone is not rooted and was updated to 4.4 KitKat OTA.
I'm hoping that it was just the magnet on his pouch case interfering with the radios. He realized that he's always noticed this problem after the phone has been in the case. This afternoon I asked him not to put it in the case as an experiment.

I'm usually able to bodge my way through this sort of thing, but am at a loss here.
Just downloaded and flashed the latest nightly build for my Moto G 4G (Peregrine) direct from the inbuilt updater.
When it boots up i repeatedly get com.android.phone has stopped and it appears that it has no sim installed.
Have tried wiping everything and reinstalling but doesn't seem to have made much difference.
I'm an intermediate n00b - that is, I don't REALLY know what I'm doing but can usually bodge my way along blindly following forum posts to root/unlock/flash roms etc, but am at a loss this time. Can anyone please help?
OK I seem to have been able to bodge myself back to working phone more or less.
Installed Twrp 2.8.7 and CM13.0 20151204
Everything SEEMs to be ok now except that t keeps popping up a message saying my network (3UK ) is unavailable
This MAY be a problem with the network, but seems a bit of a coincidence seeing as I've been buggering about with the phone
Any known issues with network connectivity in CM13
EDIT: Still somehow managed to receive an SMS message when it said network unavaialbe
Try removing /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db when com.android.phone keeps crashing!
Phone seems to be working now. Though not sure what i did to fix it
Now I can't install apps from Google play. Get the error "Chrome Browser - Google" can'r be downloaded. Try again and if the problem continues, get help troubleshooting
error code RPC:S-7:AEC-7 JZLQ-5JDI-W4ZW6
Edit: Also can't open the clock (eg to set an alarm) tap on the widget and it just says unfortunately clock has stopped
