Weird notification from time to time - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

From time to time I get the following message "There was a problem communicating with google servers Try again later." And then a next button that does nothing. I can access my gmail and google play right after...
Anyone experience this with their s3?

I had the same thing happen to me yesterday...I got the triangle notification in the top left part of the notification bar - I just hit clear and went about my business - gmail and google play didn't seem affected so not sure what that message was all about. Part of me thinks it might be some sort of phishing scheme from an app trying to get our username and password?

Probably just the servers playing up

Yea probabaly...this just started happening recently too....

EVO 3D constantly syncing??

My phone shows the syncing icon 24/7. I have rebooted and also checked which apps are syncing. I don't have any custom apps that sync, only the Google apps. Under settings, it shows gmail and everything syncing but they just never finish. Anyone have this glitch?

Did you install the update? I think the update is suppose to fix this. I haven't installed the update but I have also not seen this happen on my device yet.
No, I haven't updated. I was trying to avoid because I don't want to miss out on root, but I guess I'm going to have too because this is killing my battery.

LOL....i just sent HTC another email about this.....i constantly get the SYNC icon in the NOTI bar....and in "accounts and sync" its not showing anything syncing....
Well I just went into system updates and updated the HTC software only. It fixed the problem so if I don't get root in the next three weeks this phone is going back to Sprint.

Too funny. You sent an email about an issue they already released a fix for.

This worked for me. If you created an HTC Sense account it's set to sync whenever anything changes (Push). Go to Settings-Accounts & Sync- click on HTC Sense and change the update schedule to something less ridiculous like an hour or more instead of push. Hope that helps.

If you guys haven't applied the updates then I wouldn't send HTC an email. The problem as far as I know has been resolved with the updates.

Google Talk

Ive tried researching this but I have came up empty handed. It appears once my screen is off google talk is logged out. How do I keep google talk always logged in?
Thanks for any help!

I really hope this isnt a wide spread thing. I use Google talk heavily. I cant afford for it to disconnect upon my screen timing out. I havent used it since I activated my phone to test though.
Maybe check under the power saver option in settings. There is an option to turn off background data when the screen turns off. Maybe that's it?

I will try that setting out and report back

Just uncheck auto away status and it will stop logging out.

Is anyone else having an issue where google talk won't load for them? I touch the icon and it looks like it loads for a second then flashes back to the app drawer. I tried clearing the application data, didn't help, and of course I can't uninstall/reinstall

Yup, I have to restart the phone to get it working. I also notice that Restart does NOT restart the phone for me. It powers it down.

I have both of those exact same problems. Hopefully, the next software update will fix these issues.

Htc sense authorization for facebook

I cant get the notification to go away, or get it to actually authorize. Anyone found a fix? Stock htc amaze, just got it today. Facebook works and all but notification is annoying.

Which authorization? I'm trying to follow what you're asking.
Have you tried restarting the phone?
When i first started my phone out of the box today, i logged in to facebook to sync contacts. I got a notification saying
"Authorize htc sense to access facebook". I tried many times and it says sense failed. I cant remove the notification now.

Try this, restarting the phone first.
If it's still there go into
settings>applications>manage applications>facebook for HTC sense>clear data
Restart again just to be on the safe side.
Then log back in.
Let me know how it goes bro.
Tried that, and didnt log back into facebook but notification is still there

If you just got your phone and don't mind wiping data how about a factory reset?
yeah I'm going to try that, but I'm afraid as soon as it boots up it will ask for it again. It asks for it when I add and remove synced accounts too. I have no idea. I'm surprised nobody else has had this issue so far.
well i reset the phone, as soon as I tried to add facebook account to my sync list (not the facebook app), it did it again, asking for authorization and now it's sitting in notifications again.

I honestly don't know what the deal could be. Sorry to hear you're having such bad luck with it.
Reboot, clearing data and a reset still didn't help.
I'm all out of ideas bro.
So tmo tech support has no clue and they're supposed to call me tomorrow with a resolution...this should be good.

Nothing from tmo yet, but task manager ending the Facebook for sense removes the notification, but after reboot it comes back, so if nobody else is apparently having this issue, I'll return the phone for a new one.

I had the issue. you have to hit the notification and wait. Do it before bed or something with the phone plugged in, eventually it will time out. I did this a couple of times and it went away. Also, Check your apps on facebook from your desktop, if HTC sense is already authorized, try removing it, then allowing the mobile app to re add it. If you go that route, I'd clear all data from facebook and uninstall the app (it's seperate from facebook for sense) and then deactivate the sense app from your facebook on the desktop before you readd your facebook account to the facebook for sense, then download the full facebook app. I'm getting sick of everything trying to incorperate facebook into my life.
^ Thanks man, you gave ne the idea of looking at the apps setting in facebook, and sure enough, i had platform apps turned off. I turned it on, and tried the authorization again, and voila! it's gone!

Authorize HTC Sense
Did you ever get this resolved? I have the same problem. The Facebook app seems to work fine but I get the Authorize HTC Sense error in the notification bar. When I click on it, I get "error occured with HTC Sense, please try again later".
Read two posts above you. Ugh

Freezes after every Google Play update notification

Since upgrading to Jellybean Optus edition my phone freezes every time there's pending updates in Google Play. I dont actually get to know about the notification until I reboot. Then it comes through. Turning off auto update doesn't seem to make a difference. I don't know what to check if there is some conflict with an app that Ive installed that could be causing the lockup.
Regards
Pete

I tried that and it didn't fix the problem. I am suspecting that Instagram may be causing the problem as it this has been running in the background each time the freeze occurs.

App collision by instagram? if you really think that is the reason send a bug report to instagram dev's.
Try uninstalling instagram and check whether the problem occurs again though.

Any clue on whats causing these system errors

Everytime I use Facebook messenger ill receive these errors one right after the other. They appear after I send a message or shutdown the app. I uninstalled and re-installed and the same thing keeps happening. Thanks in advance.

I have problems with messenger when I have the chat heads active. I will receive the system ui crash lots of times and then when I disable it I never see the error again. Might be worth a try?
I've had the chat heads disabled since they first came out, not a fan.
Well I narrowed it down at least. It was my launcher (GO Launcher) I set sense as my default and used FB messenger and didn't receive the messages. No to figure out why. I'm gonna contact GO as they have EXCELLENT customer service, partly the reason I use their products.

Huh that's strange that you all of a sudden started getting errors with that launcher even though you've used it for a long time. Glad that you were able to get it narrowed down though and hopefully they will have an idea of what's wrong and how to fix it
