Ever since I upgraded OTA for marshmallow (i'm bone stock) I've had "connection" issues with multiple apps, regardless if i'm on wifi or 3g/4g.
The google sound search app (whats this song) says "you seem to be offline. Retry?
Google Voice when used pops up the screen saying "offline. check your connection" it does this too when I say "call x cell phone" unless i say "make a call first".
gmail app push notifications are non-existent. I don't email 80%+ of the time unless I manually sync.
Facebook app will constantly think I have no internet connectivity. I have to force updates which rarely works, or quit out of the app and reload.
Playstore does the same from time to time, giving messages about have no connection and to check it.
Voicemail will constantly give me errors: an error occurred, unable to connect to voicemail/visual voicemail. Paraphrasing here.
4 days ago I backed up everything over sftp to my computer and did a factory reset. This seemed to help for a little bit. The apps i've described above acted more normal, but since yesterday I'm having all the same issues again. I've never had any issue like this prior to the marshmallow update. Prior this i went into the settings and did a full reset of all network settings under ireless Controls or Wireless & Networks. that didn't help either
android 6.0.1, baseband G920vvru4cpc2, baseband 3.10.61 [email protected] #1, build number mmb29k.G920vvru4cpc2
no system updates available. What gives, and what else can I provide? Should I report these as bugs to google/verizon?
I also have issues with apps like i heart radio, pandora, after my upgrade, it'll play 1 song or not at all and then after one song it closes out. I tried uninstalling, restarting the phone and then reinstalling but the same issues, and tis with all my audio streaming,.. help!?!?
I've been having the same issues as OP, as well as with Facebook. I'll have to close it out 5 or 6 times before it'll give me the latest posts. It keeps reverting back to May 6 and when opening comments get a message that i'm not connected even though i'm web browsing just fine. Seems to be an issue with the OS and apps.
The Facebook app is junk and notoriously buggy so that maybe your Facebook issue. On top of that its a huge memory hog and might as well be classified as spyware with it's endless permissions (and yes they do monitor you and EVERYTHING you do via the app for "advertising and product placement" purposes). I suggest ditching the app and just access Facebook via web browser. That alone has solved alot of issues for alot of people I know, even issues that seem unrelated to Facebook. Its supprising how miserably coded the Facebook app is and how many problems it is the source of, especially given it's such a large corporation. As for the other issues listed, I personally experience none of them on my Verizon S6. I stream music and video just fine on youtube, pandora and spotify. No connectivity issues... ever. Not with voicemail, google sound search, gmail, play store or any other apps. Do you have a task killer or other "battery optimizing" app that is turning off your wifi and/or mobile data without your knowledge. Thats my only thought.
Settings > Battery > More > Optimize Battery Usage.
Uncheck any apps that are having the problem and see if that helps

I don't know if this thread should go into the Nexus One forum as it's the only device that officially has froyo support, but I have an ATT Nexus One that was updated the other day with the official finalized Froyo build (FRF85B). When using the Maps app (and in turn the Navigation application as well) today, I noticed some very poor performance as the application is very slow and isn't loading mapping data. Multiple times, I received the error message "Data connection loss, retrying..." which I had never received before. Searching for locations/POI's seemingly took forever and the mapping data once found was slow. In Navigation, the computerized TTS speaks "Data connection lost" and stalls at the "getting directions" dialog. Please note that all this was done while using my own wifi connection. I don't think that the Maps application was updated with the Froyo release.
Anyone else having this problem?
EDIT: btw, Maps version is 4.3, which i guess was recently updated. now i'm not sure whether it's related to Froyo or just this recent update. However, I did have no issues with the application over the weekend, before the Froyo update.
Gotta say, I'm having some issues too. I kept getting data loss errors when I have full Edge signal when using Navigation. Luckily by this point I knew where I was driving.
Also, I use the "popular categories" lab, and when i press search, it does nothing. If I deactivate the lab, close Maps with ATK, and restart, the search button will work as normal. But if I try to activate popular categories again, it stops working again. I reverted the version by "uninstalling all updates", and tried it. Worked fine.
I just upgraded to 4.3 again. Search button with the popular categories lab works A-OK. Won't know for sure if it helped the data connection issue until I use it in a RW scenario.
Just look into logcat. Such behavior is typical for GM, when it gets some exceptions.
Hey guys,
Tried searching for this, but nada.
Anyone else having issues with your phone being idle but powered on ans upon bringing on the screen you receive a google talk notification that's old? Is been happening to me lately, and I can't tell if it's the phone or the fact that my desktop version is intercepting the message and preventing the phone notification.
I'm tempted to no longer use the desktop built in gmail version, but I wanted to see if others are having similar issues.
Thanks in advance!

Can't guarantee this, but I have a feeling it may have something to do with the phone letting the Google talk process close when the phone is in it's sleep state. I've noted that I keep having to re sign in to gtalk when I wake up my phone and suspect that it is an issue with the horrible multitasking that HTC has bundled into sense 4.0.
I assume both of you also get delayed notifications with push email using the native Gmail app? I also frequently get logged out of Google Talk when I put the phone in standby mode. When I am logged out of Google Talk, my push emails are delayed in the Gmail app until I log back into Google Talk.
So it seems to be some problem of getting disconnected from google services when the phone is asleep.
I don't think i've been getting delayed notifications, but I do notice that my chat gets out of order a lot. My replies will be above whoever is talking to me no matter what order each was sent in.
Almost every phone that comes out gets a google talk going eventually so there is lots out there, but each phone has it's own issues. Here is a thread that was pretty good from the Galaxy Nexus Forums.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400367
With the HOX I have had issues with Google Talk not working great when the wifi is dropping, so this might be part of the wifi issue that pretty much everybody is having with this phone. The wifi stays connected but seems to go to sleep so your phone only gets the notification once it is woken up. Try turning off the wifi and seeing if you have the same problem.
As for Google Talk, there are some oddities that go along with using it on multiple devices. Here is some stuff I figured out playing around with it on multiple devices and computers at the same time. (I posted this in the GN forums as well)
"Google Talk is my main means of communication it seems so I have played with it a lot. Here are my observations.
1. To keep it "up" all the time in the Talk App hit the menu button (three dots now) >settings>uncheck automatic away status. Also make sure your phone has automatic syncing turned on for your gmail account: Setting>Accounts and Sync>ON (for your chat gmail address anyway). Additionally make sure your mobile data is turned on if you are ever off wifi: Settings>More>Mobile networks>Data Enabled (checked to turn on)
2. You can have up to 6 devices linked to your talk account at once, after that they just stop working.
3. When you receive a IM it appears on both your phone and your gmail account. If you start typing on the gmail account (or G+) it hijacks the whole session and you phone no longer gets the notifications, but the conversation still shows up on the chat window on the phone. When you are done with the IM session make sure you close the window on gmail (or G+) and send one last message from your phone or tablet to take the session back over, if you don't your phone will not receive future chat notifications. You can also just log out of your gmail/G+ session and it will automatically return everything to your phone/tablet but who ever does that?
4. To figure out how it all worked and tinker with it I use both of my gmail accounts and chat back and forth with them. You can do it from separate browsers or just open an incognito window in Chrome and log into your other gmail account. I would recommend this so you can see all of this stuff in practice.
Good Luck, hope this helps"
Gtalk and gmail delays
Hi all,
I have performed tests and discovered that if i disable WiFI and only use the phone's data connection "4g" or LTE that i receive all my messages with no problem even when the phone locks/goes to sleep. However if i leave wifi turned on, within 5-10 seconds i stop receiving them and will only receive them when i wake up the phone/unlock or wait for the delay which can be anywhere from 5-15 mins.
Trying to figure out a way to by pass this, but can't seem to figure it out. I don't want to keep my wifi off when i'm at work or home so i don't use data as i have 3GB and not unlimited so it kind of sucks that i have to keep wifi off for now. Any thoughts/ideas would be great, thanks.

This. I have issues with timely/accurate reception of notifications from GV. I only use my account for voicemail, but typically I only get voicemail notifications if I open the actual application (which I do because my gmail account receives an email notification now, as well). Sometimes I notice GV as a running task, but often times not, so to me it seems that (possibly) multitasking or some other form of process management in ICS or Sense is not prioritizing the GV process and it's associated actions. I dont mind the aggressive multitasking, but it would be nice to have the option of protecting some processes, such as GV.
I removed google + app completely with titanium backup, and the problem is gone., I get the messages immediately
Push Notifications Fixer can fix it

I'm running the latest Viper, I've never had an issue receiving or sending msgs. The only time the phone won't alert me is if I am actively typing in the browser window.
I'll note though that I never have wifi on, it's always on the mobile network.

I tried everything not even this works for me
Same problem, screen off - phone disconnects, unlock the phone - messages start to appear
Same problem on 2 different phones and 2 different numbers
I don't use G Talk, but I see the same thing with G Voice. I almost never get voicemail notifications on my HOX (they show up instantly on my old GNex). I blame Sense (for this and other things).
Same problem, but with Nexus 4 when I am on WiFi. With data connection, it works without problems.
Nexus 5 Issues with YouTube, Play Store, Hangouts, & Drive While Using Cellular Data
Hello All, I bought a Nexus 5 while on a recent trip to the States (I work in Nigeria but spend a lot of time in the States) and I was able to use it with no issues for the 2+ weeks I was there, regardless of whether I was on LTE or WiFi. Since I returned to Nigeria and popped in my local SIM card (Etisalat) I've noticed that YouTube and the Play Store have perpetual connection issues while on HSPA+. YouTube is extremely slow and often fails to connect but if I hit the retry button enough times I am able to browse and watch videos, albeit after enduring a ton of frustration.
On the other hand, the Play Store is essentially non-responsive: the loading circle is all I see when opening the app, and spamming the retry button does nothing unlike with the YouTube app; every app I try to install from the Web Play Store fails, using Chrome on the device or on my laptop; I get update notifications and can't act on them; etc.
I've popped the same SIM onto my HTC One Dev Edition and none of these issues occur, in fact the data connection seems snappier. When tethering my N5 to my One or using the N5 on wifi the issues also disappear. I am able to download/update apps from the Web or Play Store app, and watch YouTube videos with no issues.
I called Google Play customer support and the rep told me I needed to update my physical address to reflect my current location despite the fact that the cards tied to the account are based in the US and I've never had these issues using my One, Nexus 4, Note II, or any of the other Android devices I've owned over the past 2+ years. I'm hoping someone out there has a solution because my N5 enthusiasm is fading fast. Any helpful info will be greatly appreciated!
PS - I also noticed that Hangout messages are sent/received much faster over wifi than HSPA+. Also Drive documents can't be saved over HSPA+ because I get the "offline: not connected to the internet" message even though the status bar and quick settings menu show that I am connected to the Internet and Google services (cell data quick settings tell is white, not orange). I have tried wiping data/cache in the offending apps (after Force-stopping the apps), to no avail. I have also toggled the network mode between LTE/3G/2G and the issues were not resolved.
Ever since this update I am having lots of issues. I am getting a 907 vm error everyday. I am getting connection issues and no Internet connection errors in all my apps. Touchscreen has a horrible lag now. In music apps like Spotify after a song ends it uses to go the next song automatically now I have to go back into the app for the next song to play. I wish I never did this upgrade...any advice
Sounds like a factory reset is in your future.

Disable Power Save, it block background data making all apps says "No internet".
Go to settings and select Battery then go to upper right and select More then Optimize Battery and deselect apps you are having issues with such as Voice Mail. Works for me.
Hi,
Wondering if anyone has run into the following issue with their Pixel. My phone is an international model (G-2PW4200) and I bought it exactly a month ago.
The issue is this: I seem to never be able to download any decent size file (e.g. a video on social media sites or apps like Facebook, YouTube, Whatsapp, etc., or to download any app on the Google Play store) via WiFi without the download getting "stuck" half way, sometimes not even at 10%. The download would get stuck indefinitely, and only resume once I disable WiFi and start downloading via LTE. Sometimes it also comes back if I just disable WiFi and enable it again. Another problem I have is that my phone seems to go offline when it's not being used for extended periods of time (that being in the 5-10 minute range given I look at it almost every 10 minutes) despite having WiFi during sleep set to be always on. I can tell this because when I try to log in to something like Whatsapp Web it complains that my phone is offline, and this is a problem that never happened with me with my previous phone in the same setting.
A few points to keep in mind:
1- I have "Keep WiFi on during Sleep" set to "Always"
2- This happens everywhere (at home, work, friends', public WiFi, etc.) so it's not related to just my router's setup, and it happens every single day and almost every single time.
4- System is "up to date" and I have the latest update installed (Android 7.1.1, build NOF26V)
3- I'm still able to browse web pages (via Chrome), and browse apps like Facebook, Whatsapp, etc. without getting interruptions or showing any signs of disconnect. It's only the above two issues that I see when downloading big chunks of data, and for some reason my phone appearing to be offline during sleep when it shouldn't be.
Any idea what may be wrong here and how I can fix this? I really would like to keep this phone, but this is really becoming frustrating.
Thanks.
Have you factory reset?

Yes. And ironically enough I ran into the same problem immediately while restoring my backup as the phone was trying to redownload the previously installed apps. It would get stuck not downloading anything but not complain about a lost connection until I disable WiFi and switch to cellular data.
This reminded me that the first time I ran into the problem was also the very first time I used the phone when also downloading my apps.
contact google and get warranty service
can you test your wifi performance with another device?
and also try some download manager like ADM and check download with it.

Given that this happens everywhere, not just with my home WiFi, I know the issue is specific to my Pixel. Unfortunately no one at work has a Pixel to try it, but all other devices connected to the same WiFi spots are fine.
I was told by someone that disabling LTE and sticking to 3G cellular data will fix my WiFi issues. Will be trying that at work today.
