I keep getting errors from play store saying "Connection Timed Out". It's been happening all day and it happens on 3G or Wifi. Anybody else having this problem. I noticed Youtube was acting up too. It lost my account info and I was getting connection errors. Everything else seems to be working fine like the browser and other apps that use data.
I haven't used play store much today but it's fine the times I have used it

Play Store is not letting me DL apps. It starts the download, but never finishes, it just stays at the DL part. Cleared Data and signed back in, same problem. This is new today, as I used it yesterday and it was fine.
Edit: just tried to play a video from Youtube and it wont DL either. Must be a Google problem??
Play Store seems to be working fine on my phone, but when I go to download an app via my laptop it gets stuck on 'Loading device compatibility'
Looks like it's most likely a Google issue and not the phones. I'll monitor it. Hopefully they get it all sorted out soon.
I noticed this the day I bought the phone.
It's really annoying when I've got app updates. If I click on the batch update button to update multiple apps, it won't complete unless I stay on the update page and keep the phone from going to sleep. Otherwise, the first app will update and the rest will stall on "downloading". This happen pre and post root.
Very annoying.

I have a DSL 512 kbps plan. I get an average speed of 62 KB/s on my home PC. I also have a home router.
My galaxy S2 has android 4.1.2 stock JELLYBEAN. I had been using my wifi for approximately 1 month with no issue, the speed was normal.
But from the past few weeks, i had noticed that the application on my phone are taking very long to connect to the internet. Eg. Youtube loades video in 5 mins, a background wallpapers application takes very long to load pictures, Compared to previous state when videos started in seconds, and loaded pics with a blink...
Signal Strength is Excellent... I tested my speed using speedtest application.. and it was normal around 60 KB/s...
I test my wifi on my friend's mobile, and it was normal. Youtube videos started in seconds, webpages showed without any loading....
I don't think there's a problem with my ISP or router.
Please HELP !!
First try another wifi connection, and see if speeds are low there too.
It's still the same.
@ immortalneo
Have you tried a factory reset? Does that make a difference?
And try downloading a file to see if your download speed is low. If not, then the issue could be app related.

On speedtest.net (and app) I get 5mbp/s download, my connection to the router is 54Mbp/s. So my internet is good for my phone, it isn't ultra fast, but it loads large pages within 10 sec.
If yours is 60kbp/s, it is super slow. You should pay more to get more speed. (in case if you mean your home wifi)
Still the same
@ immortalneo.
Yes, I've tried the factory reset. Still the same. I'll try to flash my stock ROM and then tell you.
And how could the problem be app related..?
@GreekBlood
Sir, it not a question about my internet connection. When my WiFi was working fine, I didn't have to wait for apps to connect to the internet.
My gmail app showed my mails at a go. YouTube took few seconds to start a video. But now, the apps are taking a hell lot of time to open.
Although they open, but after loading, loading and loading....... Google play opened within second, but now it takes very much time to load, and then show the menu apps.

It could be overloaded connections or your provider has a bad day/week/month etc.
My phone is getting really hot (like, uncomfortable to have in my pocket).
I went to dev options, and activated the overlay cpu usage to check which process were eating up my CPU.
Top of the list 99% of the time is system_server.
Other symptoms:
– I can't open a terminal session (terminal emulator starts but no prompt, I can't kill it either)
– installing an app takes ages (both the downloading and the installing)
– the wifi symbol in the status bar has both arrows (upload and download) displayed all the time
– some network related activities seems to be very slow
com.google.android.tts and android.process.acore make also regular visit to the top 3 processes, but they are far from system_server.
I have CyanogenMod 11 M3 on a google edition of the S4, encryption is on. I have around 2GB free on my internal storage and 20GB on the external SD.
Any further troubleshooting ideas?
Its an app. Probably one with spyware to be more specific. Either way it's constantly sending or receiving data. Have you installed anything around the time this started happening?
I will deinstall progressively the latest apps I installed and see if it helps.
What I noticed too:
– re flashing CM 11 M3, cleaning cache and davlik cache helps. But just for a short while. After a couple of hours it starts again.
– the network activity is constant but pretty low. Below 10kB/s all the time, regularly below 1kB/s
– I can't uninstall anything right now, every app I uninstall says “uninstalling” forever.
– turning airplane mode on makes it a bit better: phone is still hot, but not uncomfortably so.
How does an app hide its process like this without root access? I didn't thought it was possible in Android. I can only see system_server...
i have the same problem with you
this problems starts couple days ago, and until now i still curious of what happen to my phone
i used xperia z1 now,
does anyone can help to solved this problem
So, it's been bothering me for a while but my now 2-year-and-2-month old Samsung Galaxy S3 always just runs incredibly slowly. Not only that, but I tend to burn through the battery easily within 6 hours. For the past year and a half, or so, I've had to resort to carrying around two spare batteries with me as it has a tendency to run out of charge in the middle of the day, let alone if I'm out at a music festival or something. I'm not a particulaly heavy user, as in I rarely play video games on my phone, nor do I really watch videos or ever use bluetooth. Occasionally I do use GPS or WiFi, but I try to keep them turned off when I'm not using them. I tend to use my phone for music when I'm in the car, or texting / whatsapp / occasional snapchatting, or checking Pulse News or my internet banking. I don't have a particularly huge amount of apps installed, I don't think. And I regularly hold the Home button, & press the close-all-apps button to make sure that they're not running in the background.
Yet, my phone is so laggy. It's like there's a constant 3 or 5, or even sometimes 10, second delay for whatever action you've initiated to actually occur. You'll press Messages, and it'll take about 4 seconds for my text messages to show up. You'll press Home, and it takes about 3 seconds for it to close. Facebook just took about 8 seconds to load. It doesn't sound alot, but it can be quite infuriating when you're trying to get things done in a hurry. It's even worse when apps are running in the background!
So, I got to check my running processes and there's just loads of things running that both don't appear to be running when I hold the Home button but also shouldn't be running because I haven't used them in forever. It appears my phone has approximately 850MB of RAM, yet my phone tends to ALWAYS run at around 725MB used (currently it's at 751MB, as can be seen in the screenshot attached). But when I do go through the list of things running, the right hand side it tells you how much RAM is supposedly being used. Yet if I total up all of the RAM being used by all of the apps that are apparently running, it only comes to about 300MB. So where the heck is this other 450MB of RAM being used?! THIS is what is slowing down my phone, I think.
Not only that, but there are things in this list that are running that shouldn't be running, & I don't understand why they are. Facebook, sure I can understand, in case you get a notification or something. But TuneIn Radio... I'm not listening to the radio at the moment, nor have I used the app in weeks (and my phone has been restarted numerous times since then), why is it running? S Voice, too? Video Hub? Google Play Music, I've never even used it. And then there's loads of things I haven't got a clue what they are, like Exchange Services, ELM Agent, SmartcardService, etc. Now I understand it's like a computer, where there are a number of background processes that have to run to make the OS work, but why are all these other apps running that I'm not using?!
-------------------------
Furthermore, I've started trying to use Google Now because I would like to get a Moto 360 (but I'll ask questions about that in a seperate thread). So, it seemed to work fine a few weeks ago. It gave me stocks, news updates, ETA to work or home, started remembering where I was parking. But now a few days ago I go back to it, after not using it for a little while, & it's all reset; Asking me to set it up again. So I did, & it mostly works but I can only ever seem to get the first "page" of cards up. When I click "More" at the bottom I just get an endless spinning circle & then the message "No Internet Connection - Content was last updated X minutes ago" appears as the top card, when infact I know I do have an internet connection. Exiting the app, closing it down, & then re-opening does not fix the issue either. I'm at a complete loss as to what to do.
Furthermore, it always asks me to "Improve my location: For more accurate location, let google search for Wi-Fi connections, even when Wi-Fi is off." I don't understand how this works, and what it's trying to do? If I turn it on, is that not going to be effectively the same as leaving my WiFi turned on at all times? Well, except without the benefits of being connected via WiFi. It's just going to drain my battery more, as leaving WiFi on usually does.
-------------------------
So tldr:
- Why is my RAM mysteriously using 450MB that I can't vouch for? Where is it going? How I stop it?
- Why is Google Now not letting my manually update the cards?
You are missing huge amounts of very basic information, search and read for what is safe to disable on stock rom, some things are vital others are optional.
If you leave everything running as default then 6hrs battery life is about right.

Root Your Phone
Install Xposed
Install Greenify
And hibernation your apps
Hello,
I noticed a problem on my LG V30 H930 on Android 9.
Some apps won't load data over wifi networks (e.g my home wifi, sometimes in hotel), but not all (it works at my college, or in public wifi in shops), or they load very slowly.
For example Twitter : it plays videos or pictures only after 1 or 2 minutes of loading. However there is no such issue when I go on twitter.com in my web browser (on my phone).
Google Play Store : Downloading apps is stuck, it stays pending download for 5-10 minutes (sometimes forever). So I don't get updates whenever they are available.
Some games get stuck at the login step with my google play games account.
I have an Internet Speed widget showing only a few Bytes/s whne these apps get stuck, compared to 2-3 MBytes/s when everything is working fine
I don't have these problems using 4G
So I don't know if it is a network issue or the phone.
Do you have any idea ? Thanks
Are you using VPN? Try with that turned off if possible.
Please do hardware test using *#546368#*930# , kindly check if wifi test returns passed.
