Lately it seems as though every time I tried to use the Market ,Slacker radio or Pandora radio I have problems staying connected to the network. Even with a fairly decent wifi signal I receive a network error message. My phone is completely stock other than Apps I have downloaded.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWith the stock Touchwiz software you can not access the normal Android Settings menu for Location and by default the "Network Location" function is disabled.I installed Open Home (which is a must for this phone imho) and now I can access the classic settings menu.I enabled Network Location then launched Google Maps. After a second or two it centered on a road in Bellevue, WA that is not too far from T-Mo headquarters, problem is I am on the East Coast of the US. I pulled the battery and reboot the phone.Upon reboot I opened Google Maps again and it quickly found my approx location correctly but then within a second or two it switched back to this phantom location in Washington state.Has anyone else experiences this? If so is this a glitch with my phone or a known issue with the TouchWiz/Android OS? I really need this functionality in order for the phone to be useful for me. Anyone know of a fix for this?

Any pointers or suggestions which part of the framework code need to take a look. This dialog is controlled by Networklocation.apk which is not open source.

Is there a better widget to use, if that's how it works? I didn't notice this in 2.1. Those seemed to be on all the time.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just bought 2 Droids and they are about 4 days old. Since the first day we have gotten them we have been getting this message, "a network error has occurred retry or cancel and return to the previous screen." This happens 2 or 3 times a day at least over 3G and wifi. Anything using the Internet won't work including the market and the browser. From what I have researched a lot of people have been getting this error but I haven't found a fix yet, anybody know what I could do?

Network Error - The network connection failed. Press Retry to make another attempt. <Retry> <Cancel>

Is anyone else having issues using the GV app on their Droid? I haven't been able to send or receive any SMS messages through the GV app all morning. Actually, it's been giving me troubles the last couple of days. I'm able to send and receive SMS messages from voice.google.com, and because I'm forwarding SMS messages to my Gmail, I'm still getting notifications, but the GV app itself is still acting funky. I try to refresh, but all I get is "Network Error". I've also tried logging out and logging back in, as well as a re-boot on the Droid itself, all to no avail. Am I the only one having issues or are any of you peoples noticing some funkiness as well? EDIT: Of course, 2 min. after I posted this, I got some new GV notifications and was able to send an SMS.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI keep getting a network error using both wifi and 3G; definitely know that both of my connections are good using them for everything else. Anybody else?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI can get a few minutes of 4G signal at my home per day, but when it drops out and 3G takes over, the signal will flatline and boot me offline. My 3G speeds are usually around 56-150Kbps or less, and my 4G speeds are around 2.5 Mbps What would cause this ? According to WiMax location sites online, my nearest 4G tower is .52 mile away. I would think that if I actually get 4G signal, then 3G would be constant. Turning off 4G doesn't help either. Is there some setting that I could have turned off that would cause this ?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have an application which uses the network as the location provider (rather than GPS eg.), however I can't seem to figure out how to send the emulator test coordinates. In DDMS I would usually send coordinates in the Emulator Control tab.Is there a place to simulate coordinates derived from the cell phone network provider?
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy droid x signal pretty much always between -92dBm and -87dBm with 1-3 3g bars. My former droid eris would get -92dBm with 1 bar and also drain incredibly fast.
On the droid x, if I go into google maps, the circle of the cell tower appears and the place I live at is half way within the edge of the circle and the other half is outside of the circle. I always seem to be connected to this tower. Bad luck I guess that I'm on the outskirts of the circle.
Does anyone know how cell towers are distributed? Do they overlap sometimes?
I run pandora with the screen off for a half hour with the screen off and my battery is down to 70%. I have about 15% screen brightness and battery saving mode on.
yesterday, I was on meebo for an hour and 45 minutes and it was down to 60% from a full charge.
I get a "network error while trying to sign into <my gmail account>" when trying to use the market, even thoug I am successfully synching contacts and using the calendar which is linked to my gmail account.

View 1 Replies View RelatedA friend of mine is a member of the EVO Facebook group and sent me to a link which reads as follows:
"For those of you having battery issues I found a way to Dramatically improve the battery life.
First things first, go into Settings> About Phone> Battery> Battery Use> Cell Standby. Assuming your phone has been on, or off the charger for ~10 minutes, it should show Time Without Signal at around 50%. Next thing, press Home and bring up the dialer. Dial *#*#4636#*#* (Do not press "Call"). After a second, it should bring up the "Testing" menu.
Go into Phone Information, press MENU, and tap "select radio band." You should experience a Force Close, don't panic, this was supposed to happen. Scrolling down shows that the preferred network type is GSM auto (prl). What this means is that even though you are connected to a CDMA network, your phone is trying to find a GSM network, preventing the radio from sleeping, and causing excessive battery drain. Remedy this by tapping GSM auto (prl) and changing it to CDMA auto (prl).
Now your done, your TWS should drop dramatically, and you should experience much better battery life!
Note: You need to do this every time you reboot."
I've changed it on my phone just now and the service still works as normal. I guess we'll see if the battery life increases. If this works and with overclock widget I should be getting some crazy battery life now!
I am trying develop an application which shows user current location. To find user's current location i am using following code...
View 2 Replies View RelatedWas wondering if there is an app which can scan for available cell networks and show there signal strength ? Similar to the menu in settings which shows the network names, but I want the strength as well!
View 4 Replies View Relatedi'm beginning to think that in 2.2, if you have a lower signal strength (such as i do in my house), it can't tell your location anymore. in my house, wiht 2.1, it always told me my town. now, with 2.2, it says, fro the most part with a lower signal, "current location." however, when i turn wifi on, it'll tell me my town right away, leading me to believe that since my wifi signal is great in my house, it's giving me the correct location.

View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to retrieve the current cellular Signal Strength (RSSI) on Android 1.5?
I know there's a way to listen for signal strength updates through the TelephonyManager, but this seems to only give a "state," not a numeric value.
Is using the RSSI field on a neighboring cell fairly accurate? I'm guessing not, but I'm running out of ideas.
Like the title says, what is everyone's signal strength (settings/about phone/status) and have you been experiencing any mobile network issues at this level?
My signal hovers between -96 dBm and -101 dBm and have had network problems beyond belief. Moto droid sitting directly beside my fascinate typically is ten points better at -86 dBm through -91 dBm with zero network problems.
Last night my phone decided it wanted to be annoying and started turning itself on and off on its own. This has caused me to lose my network signal.
So far, I have turned the phone off (had it powered down all night while I slept).
Removed the sim card.
Used the recovery options to clear the cache.
Simulated a battery pull.
Thus far, nothing has worked.
I only get a phone signal about a third of the times i start the emulator. I've read on these groups that you have to have an internet connection before starting the emulator. Since i'm connected to the internet 24/7 :) this is not the problem I've also read somewhere that you should try do disable all other network connections (which i've done) and the problem persists. I'm using Windows 7 and Android 2.1 + API's emulator. You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

View 2 Replies View RelatedBased on what I've been reading, leaving GPS on won't drain more battery. It's just merely allowing apps to use the GPS.That said, if you have GPS on and have apps that use GPS, you will drain more battery.I want to leave my GPS on for "Where's my Droid." My question is this: how do I make it so that apps (weather widget, etc.) only use network location and not GPS? Is there a way to block all apps except those I choose from using GPS ?
View 7 Replies View RelatedIt keeps telling me I'm in the town across the river. Maybe according to the network location I am in that town but when I go to maps and it uses GPS it realizes the proper city. The weather app often makes this mistake. I thought when I setup my device it may have asked if I want to use GPS or just network location for something but I can't find that setting anymore. Any ideas on how to get more accurate current location for the weather widget?
