are you stock or rooted?
stock. only thing I did after the update was hold down the power button and did a forced restart.
Yeah, I'm also using the latest update, and I haven't had any problems. I'm using the connection to write this post now.
I'd try uninstalling and reinstalling the app, rebooting the phone in between. That's really all I can think of, assuming it was working before.
You can probably find the older version of the app somewhere - if you're still having problems, you could try that as a fallback.

I just finish doing a factory reset now I'm putting all my stuff back once im done il try the app againg to see if i can get it to work thank you all for the help.
Wao just figure it out after doing a factory reset just notice that the problem was when you start the hotspot the wifi turns on and the problem was that phone was connecting to my router and the connection was not going thru tank you guys for all your help sorry for the inconvenience.
If anyone can help I would appreciate it sooooo much. Ever since I went to 4.2.2 my mobile data speeds have gone to **** when I'm using the browser. I get a 10-15 second delay in loading a web page. When I use my WiFi it seems to be fine. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. It's not Rom specific. I've attached screen shots of a speed test which is perfect and a shot of the browser trying to load a page.
This makes no sense to me someone please help

NFigured it out, I restored flash player with titanium backup and that was the issue. I uninstalled and re installed and I'm good now hope this helps someone.
Edit...this seemed to help for a bit then went back to being slow.

I have this exact problem. I am on 4.3.1 and everything works fine on wifi, but browsing via stock and chrome browsers always stalls. Installing flash player from TB didn't fix it. Anyone else have any thoughts?

I've had this issue for about two months. ROM doesn't seem to matter as I've tried stock, super stock, the old Viper, NOS GPE, and Viper Sense 5 along with most of the kernels out there. I've RUU-ed probably 8 times with no luck.
The "Adobe Flash" fix didn't work for me, but I do use Titanium Backup. Maybe the problem is there somewhere?

The adobe flash fix didn't work for me, either. I found a fix in another sub-forum for a different phone. It recommended installing adfree and then selecting the "revert" option in the app. That fixed the problem for me completely. Hope that helps anyone else with this problem.

Welp, I downloaded it, but the app seems stuck. After running it, I get the boot normally / TCP dialogue, but nothing happens after that. Just stuck on the loading screen with the spinning circle.
I just reinstalled it and tried it again. I am now getting the same error as you. Might be a server-side problem. Might want to try again tomorrow?

Could you post a link to the thread you were talking about where this solution came up? I'd like to read through it. Thanks!
I am also having this problem, ViperDNA, 4.1.1. WiFi is fine, but mobile data is unusable. If I toggle mobile data off then back on, it works ok for a bit, then goes back to ****. Just recently started happening. I also have a similar issue with my G2.
I couldn't find it again, it was really hard to find the first time. But I just tried it again and the app is working. Just install it, tell it to boot normally, give it root permission, tell it to skip after it does its host file check, then press the revert button. When that is done, uninstall adfree and reboot.
That should do it.

Got it working, but it didn't seem to fix the problem. I'm still having the exact same issue. Getting frustrated with this since RUU is supposed to be the miracle fixer, yet that and a bunch of other attempts with solutions like the ones in this thread have done nothing. Outside of this thread, I can't find anyone else talking about this problem.

I'm on the most current Verizon radio with Verizon service. Most current OTA hboot. Moonshine s-off. Recently RUU-ed.
I use Dolphin and Opera Mini. Strangely, Opera Mini doesn't have this issue, but Dolphin does. However, browsers aren't the only problem. I have the same thing happen with nearly every data-using app. Twitter, Instagram, A Online Radio, TuneIn Radio, as well as Dolphin for sure seem to have this issue. Opera is okay, and Google Play Store and Facebook seem to be mostly unaffected.
It's unexplainable. Everything works instantly and fine on WiFi, but 4G, 3G, and 1X all have this 10-20 second delay before they start actually connecting. After this lag, they all download quite well. It's just the initial connection that has a problem. And again, I've searched everywhere and haven't read anyone experiencing this.

Hmmm, not sure what's going on. Maybe you need a new SIM card? Maybe try re seating the SIM? You can also turn off the radio in the hidden phone settings menu and then turn it back on. From the dialer type: *#*#4636#*#*

I've tried removing and reinserting SIM card before, and I've reset the radio and tried airplane mode probably a hundred times. Not sure what the dialer number is supposed to do, but it seems to do nothing.

You don't need to keep adfree installed, just use it to reset the host file or something. Maybe someone who knows the actual mechanism will chime in and explain why it helps.

Hi everyone - I have a weird problem that I really need some help on!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S III on the Verizon network. I've had the phone since it first came out and love it, but the problem I have is that when I connect to my network at home, YouTube and Google+ won't update.
Google+ tries to refresh and give the error:
"Can't load data. Check your connection."
When YouTube opens, I get the error:
There was a problem connecting to the network"
If I go into the sync settings for Google, most everything is syncing just fine, but Google+ and People details have problems. Google+ just shows the 2 arrows in the circle next to it and People details shows the same, but with an exclamation point. And then I have a message at the bottom that says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
This problem for YouTube and Google+ happens MOST of the time, but sometimes it will work OK. And if I have problems and turn off the WiFi and change to 4G, everything will update just fine. I also don't have the problem on other wireless networks.
So most of you are probably already thinking, "well this is a problem with your wireless network." That's what I would think.... however, my wife has the same phone and hers works fine on our wireless network. The only difference is that my phone is rooted and hers is not. I am only rooted though; I am still running the stock ROM on the same version and NOT a custom ROM.
I have changed out my wireless router from a NETGEAR N600 to a NETGEAR N150 (yes, a downgrade) and that did not make a difference. There is nothing special configured on the router. I have Time Warner providing my Internet access.
I have done a factory reset on my phone (wiped data, cache partition, and Dalvik cache from ClockworkMod)... still nothing. Be aware that I do run a lot of apps though (around 165 of them).
Here's my problem - I don't use a ton of data, so going to 4G should just be a minor annoyance. However, I now have 2 Chromecasts in the house (awesome!) and I need to be on the wireless to cast a YouTube video over to it... 4G won't cut it.
Hopefully I provided enough info. I've attached a few screenshots as well. Usually I'm pretty good at figuring these kind of things out, but I'm at my wits end on this one and I know there's some really smart people on XDA so I'm hoping you guys might be able to provide some help.
Thanks!!
-- Jim
Just to add to this (and to hopefully give this a little bump), I forgot that the same problem also exists with Google Voice... when I'm at home, I usually can't listen to my voicemails through the widget unless I get off the wireless and go to 4G.
Any thoughts anyone?

Do other internet activities work fine on ur phone? Such as web surfing, watching youtube vids etc?
And another thing is that rooting and unlocking tends to break some software related stuffs in stock roms, and the sync issue might be related as well. I suggest that u try a custom rom and see if the problem persists. Hope that helps

Why are you rooted? Are you using an ad-blocker? If yes, disable it, reboot, and try again. I've seen some of Google servers end up on adblocking lists.

Polobunny, that's something I didn't think of, but no I don't use an ad-blocker. I'm rooted for the backup abilities in Titanium Backup, the awesomeness of Greenify, and the ability to do small things (like rename sound files for the phone starting up or the camera shutter sounds). I like that idea though - I will try using Voodoo OTA RootKeeper to temporarily disable root when I get home. From another perspective though, that would be weird if it fixes the problem since it's only when I'm at my house... other WiFi connections work just fine. I will let you know what I find out.

I wasn't suggesting unrooting, merely disabling your ad-blocker, if you used one.

Well, it made me think... why not? That's one of the only differences between my phone and my wife's (the other is that I have a ton of apps on mine). I've only used Voodoo OTA RootKeeper one time, but it looks like it will do a temporary unroot, so I'll give it a shot.
As far as the ad-blockers, while I don't have one specifically installed, is it possible that one of my other apps might be causing a similar problem?

I'm thinking this might be a DNS issue. You've done a lot of work already on your phone and changed your router, but I don't think you mentioned reseting your modem. That would be my next step, whether or not m.youtube.com works on your device.

That got me thinking a little bit as well... I returned the cable modem I had to Time Warner in January (2013) and replaced it with a Motorola SURFboard SB6141 that I bought. I just logged in and checked the stats on it and everything looks in the normal range. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty confident that I've been having the problem since before the modem was swapped out.
When you say "reset the modem," are you talking about rebooting it or are you talking about resetting the configuration on it? I'm fine with either, just asking. The number show that it's been up for 31 days. The thing that keeps prodding me though is that their are no problems from at home on my wife's phone.
DNS is an interesting thought that might make the most sense... but more so a problem with it on my phone than anywhere else. Right now, my NETGEAR wireless router is dishing out the DHCP info and gives out Time Warner's DNS server addresses. I had Google's in there for a while, but changed them at one point thinking this might be related.
Is it possible that I have a bad HOSTS file entry or something when I connect to the WiFi at home? Does anyone know if the YouTube, Google+, and Google apps connect to different names or IP addresses than the mobile sites? If so, maybe I can try pinging those names or IPs that the apps go to for testing (assuming the mobile sites work fine).
Thanks!

Simply reboot it, not reset the configuration my bad.
You can use Google DNS servers on your router. This would absolutely rule out that your TimeWarner DNS servers are messing up with your stuff.
I wouldn't think it would be HOSTS file issue, unless you changed something to it yourself. Even more so if it works on mobile data.
As for YT, G+ and Gapps, they use a mesh of different servers so it's a bit hard to direct you more clearly. They all use the range 184.150.x.x as far as I'm aware though.
So all in all, try rebooting your modem. Might as well unplug the router when you do so. If it works after, then yay. If not, try using Google DNS.

Hi geoworld - yes, the bootloader is unlocked.
As a side note, I got home today and of course wasn't having the problem. Regardless, I rebooted the modem (and router) as polobunny suggested. I also changed the DNS servers to be Google's DNS instead of the ISP's. Now I'm just waiting for the problem to happen again.

I don't know yet - like I mentioned in the original post, it's an intermittent issue that happens MOST of the time, but sometimes it does work. Unfortunately, it worked fine when I got home yesterday before I even made any changes so it's hard to tell if any difference was made. If it's not going to work again, I will know pretty quickly (next day or two) since that's how often it was happening. I'll keep the thread open for a few more days and update the post as I'm testing every day.
-- Jim
Last night and this morning I had no problems with Google+ or YouTube when I tested... not sure if this is a good thing or not. I hope the problem is resolved, but I still want to wait another day or so to be sure. I'll keep you posted.

So things were going OK, but now I had something a little unusual... the problem happened again with Google+: "Can't load data. Check your connection"
I then went to the YouTube app and it took a loooooong time but eventually loaded. I then went back to Google+ and it loaded OK.
I'm confused.

hi, i used to do it just fine but its few days
my pc doesn't have wi-fi so i connect to wi-fi with my phone and tether it to pc using usb
i ran speed test and it gives me 1.28mbps in pc and 2.7mbps in phone ! (sometimes 0.28mbps in pc !)
i play team fortress 2 on my pc fine, no lags, but sometimes ( so often) i get connection problem auto dc in 30 seconds which ends always EXACTLY at 20.0 ! sounds weird!
What service / carrier? Are you using the built-in USB tethering or another app? Are you rooted? Stock or custom rom?

im using wifi, not 3G
im using built in ! if there's any better app i will download it
im rooted and stock 4.4.2
and i got nexus 4 as you can see on my pic + signature
also, the weird thing is it happens EXACTLY every 20 seconds for EXactly 10 seconds !
anyone ?
EDIT: sorry it have been only a day, it felt like 3 days ! i thought i posted the last thing 3 days ago !
You might have to use another app that hides your activities such as PDANet or Clockwork Tether. Unfortunately though they do have free versions, they have limitations that might get annoying if you don't pay for the premium service. Another option would be a custom rom that has the tethering provisions removed already. Oh yea, if you are still on the stock rom, check for some kind of tetheringprovision.apk in /system/app. If there is anything like that in there, if you freeze it or rename it, that might help as well. Just hard to be more concrete with suggestions as carriers can have their own ways to trip up tethering usage vs others and it might just be a glitch, or they have something set up to make this a pain.
Try PdaNet+. There's a free version you can try to see if everything works. It times out after about 10 minutes and you have to reconnect. To connect via USB it requires a companion program to be installed on your PC. Try it a bunch of times and see if you can replicate the problem. If not, go ahead and pay $8 for the key to unlock the full version, which doesn't time out. If the problem persists, I'd have to guess that it's an issue with your carrier. Or it could be an issue with another app or mod that you're using that is causing an issue.
Thanks , it stoped! Didn't make any change!
Will check these of it came back!
Also it's around my exams and I don't have time check it thanks anyway
Whenever I now try and switch bluetooth on it instantly snaps the button back to the off position, I have tried turning it on in loads of different ways and it just won't come back on...

Do you have any app like Liama or similar?
Maybe that app has rule to switch your BT?
If you don't have it, try to restart TS and wipe both cache from recovery (if you have it)

Bluetooth also suddenly stopped working for me. And it is not possible to turn it on. To make things more interesting - I didn't install anything on my omate since I upgraded to TEST_RELEASE_Omate_2100_TrueSmart_20140314.zip on the day when my omate 8GB/1GB 2100 arrived more than a month ago. It worked fine all this time, and without any visible cause it just stopped today.
I wanted to tether to ipad to provide internet connection, while riding in a bus, and suddenly snap - bluetooth turned itself off. I tried restarting omate. I couldn't figure anything to get it back to work.
it happened exactly 6 hours ago. About the time when you made your post.

please let me know if it helped. I will try the same, albeit I have no idea right now how to do it
I've had this happen on my regular phone. A hard reset has always fixed it.

how to do a hard reset of omate, without voiding the warranty? Do I need to wait until battery runs out?
No, just turn off quickboot and power the watch down. When you turn it back on Bluetooth will probably reinitialize and work again. For a while.

Quickboot didn't knock it out. The defective TrueSmart MTK firmware and hardware combination cause all sorts of problems with using Bluetooth, including some that require a full power cycle reset. That is not possible with Quickboot enabled unless the battery runs down or is removed.

Glad to see your BT and TS are working fine now...
All el devices could be "fixed" by restarting it.
They are all using RAM and/or dalvik cache and that has to cleared sometimes...
Dalvik cache is a "place" where Android decompile apk files for quicker access, so when you wip dalvik cache from recovery you are clearing everything so system has to decompile apk files again and RAM is cleared also...
It's like fresh start and it "fix" many software issues that way...
If you have ADB tools and rooted device, you can use adb reboot from adb shell, no need to open your watch, lose warranty and pull battery out...
