Titanium Backup Network Error - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Edit: SOLUTION: Go into Advanced wifi settings and disable WiFi Optimization. It appears that the function disrupts the WiFi connection which disrupts the upload. The tradeoff of disabling it is your phone uses more battery while idle on wifi so I make sure I only disable it before bed and re-enable it when I wake up and the upload is done.
Edit: SOLUTION 2: I read somewhere on Reddit to take note of which app the upload fails at. Delete the backup of that app and manually make a new backup. After that it should sync fine. I've tired this and so far uploads to Dropbox and gdrive have been completing successfully.
So for the last few months every time I try to sync TB with Dropbox, box, or drive it immediately fails with the message "Upload Failed: Network Error". This happens on every wifi network I've tried. Been searching the Googles for a good while and See other people are having the same issue. Someone suggested that it fails because of apps that exceed like 180mb in size. I have since excluded those apps from the backup but still no deal.. Has this issue been resolved yet? I figured it would fix itself but it's been months and I'm becoming frustrated.[/QUOTE]

Anyone?

It's possible that your Titanium Backup file exceeds the amount of space available in your Dropbox account or your Dropbox upload limit.

Nope I have plenty of free space in drive, Dropbox, and box.

Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling the app or clearing the apps cache and data?

More times than I can count. This has been an issue for months now. Started on my last phone. When the problem persists over multiple devices, multiple ROMs, and multiple installs I can't help but believe it's the app. Especially since I'm not the only one experiencing this.

I've been having trouble with this too, but only since I got my new HTC One a few weeks ago. Before that, it always worked fine with my Galaxy S3. I have yet to complete a full sync with my One.

So frustrating and there seems to be no fix.

I have encountered this from time to time on all 4 Android devices I have used. Sometimes it's just a network timeout, and rerunning the backup (sometimes multiple times) usually fixes it. Other times it may be a particular file that kills the process. The problem is that the app messages disappear when you try to access them.
Generally, at least for me, eliminating the offending file, either through labels or deleting it (if it is defective or doesn't belong in the backup directory, and happened to have been saved there).
If there is a TitaniumBackup log, I haven't found it, and I don't know whether or not the logcat would reveal anything.

I've tried deleting and excluding backups that are more than 250mb and had no effect. Nor does retrying the upload endlessly.

Same issue for me on Dropbox. Box works but Dropbox fails everytime. Getting a server error everytime.

So lame... In the mean time is there a way to get one of the automated task apps set up in a way that it can upload the tb folder to cloud on schedule?

It is annoying that we are unable to access the error notification as well, anyway
i followed the advice from the guy above saying keep rerunning it multiple times, and it does it bit by bit so have got there in the end, thanks to good ole XDA forums
Just a shame i didn't receive any support at all from an app that was happy to take my money

So after todays update, forget about the network error.. Now I'm getting the Insufficient Storage error so cant even do a backup on both my devices. This app is just trash now a days. Sucks there is no comparable alternative.

I'm also struggling with this. I've tried a load of different options with no luck either. I'm hoping we'll find a fix for this sooner than later.
I will say though that I was able to sync to GDrive at one point. Just lately, its been giving me a lot of problems.

Wanting to like the phone but...

It seems to freeze up a lot. I will select apps and they do nothing, same with downloads from the market. They just hang at showing them as downloading.
I use SPB Shell and sometimes when it does this it will also stick between pages rather than just flinging to the next it will actually just stop in between pages until you continue to scroll though.
When I select links to open, it does nothing until I actually open the browser. I have only had the phone for a few days and it worked fine, now its doing all these weird things.
Anyone got any suggestions or ideas, let me know otherwise I'm afraid I may be taking it back...
Something may be wrong with the phone. I haven't experienced none of that. Even out the box. Actually its been so fast for me that if I experience the littlest bit of lag it drives me nuts. Might be hard ware related.

LOL dude you have the data guard enabled. There is a setting in their that holds downloads and other things in a queue until you are using WiFi in order to save battery. Just disable that and you'll be on your way And the SPB Mobile Shell problem is probably a problem with the app. Contact the developer and tell them about it. There aren't many nVidia Tegra 2 phones out there so it's not very likely they have done much testing on the architecture. Also, what kind of links are you talking about? Like a link you receive in a text message?

Yeah it really sounds like you have Data Saver enabled which is located under Battery & data manager in the phone settings. If not you may want to exchange the phone as faulty. I have a lot of issues which my Photon: stuttering during music playback, random reboots (twice in 2 weeks so far), and feedback when using the audio out (buzzing / static). These seem to be common problems but the performance issues you are mentioning do not seem normal from what I have read in these forums.

You would be correct. Although i went from the Hero to an LG Optimus S, and now the Photon.
No problems like that with SPB Shell here. Check the data saver mode. You can also try changing the vm heap to 48 or 64. Mine is on 64 but never had an issue with the stock setting either.
Update...
It does appear that it was SPB Shell which sucks because I was really liking it. I will send a message to the dev and see what happens. The funny thing is that is was working great the first few days that I was using it and then started acting up which was why I didn't thing it was SPB

How do you get it that high? I am using VM Heap Tool and the highest it will let me check is 48.
It's not data saver. Or it shouldn't be. It's an Android flaw.
I've had an Incredible, Thunderbolt and then Photon. Which means I've used a few Android phones over a couple of networks (more if you consider the 4G's as their own networks).
99% of the time my phones work fine. Every so often it will stall downloading an app, or an email will just sit on sending for a longggg time. Unless I am recreating the same conditions over three phones and two networks I think this just happens every once and a while.

I'm glad you found the issue, this right here always tells me it was something you installed that caused the problem. When it worked fine out of the box and then....
Just watch what you install, install one app at a time and see how it flows for awhile after each app. Yes, it may take awhile to get all your apps on but you will know what apps are causing you issues! Like a previous poster said, there aren't many T2 phones, so just be careful what you install!
Glad you found the problem!

Mine wasn't working either... it was installed as soon as I logged into my google account and all my apps from my SGS2 were funneled onto the TPrime. It kept crashing out as soon as launched.
I ended up just searching the market for it and re-installing it seemed to do the trick. The menus are choppy as hell but it works.

In the tablet settings enable something like "force hardware acceleration." I think it is in the developer section. If you can't find it, I can look at it latter and give a better explanation. That should speed up the scrolling.

Try a service like Entropay. Create a credit card with a US address and use it for Netflix.
they want scan of my ID, passport and driving licence got email immediately after registering there.
ive ran out of ideas, guess i will give up on it but thanks for help

edit: IT WORKS ) ive registered with my real slovakian address and credit card, they asked me to send them ids, so i did. After about an hour my virtual card was OK. And it was accepted by netflix without problem... what an awesome stuff youve got there in US im impressed. (btw hulu doesnt work)
thanks for highjacking my thread....guess i'll never get my netflix working...woe is me
If you are rooted and own titanium backup you could try freezing the app and installing the one from the market which should install as a data app instead of a system app.
Have you tried clearing the data/cache in the app setting by going settings>apps and scrolling to netfix? I can't recall the exact location since I am at work.
Does it give the same status even if you don't have any updates installed?
ive tried many netflix apps, but this one works for sure. try it, maybe it will work for you too. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20911810/Netflix_1.6.0.apk
When i try to install the above apk, i get an error message that says an existing app with a conflicting signature exists...which makes sense asi am unable to uninstall the original netflix. Seriously im having a hard time believing im the only one experiencing ts problem?
OP are you rooted? Uninstall the netflix update, then try deleting the Netflix.apk from /system/app with root explorer, reboot, reinstall netflix from the market.
have you done a factory data reset since you upgraded to ICS? I had a lot of quirky bugs right after I upgraded but thy all disappeared with a wipe. Asus really should have included that as part of the upgrade.
anyways, google can backup your apps if you let it, so all you have to do is re-define your settings. I was done and ready to go within an hour of my wipe.
hopefully you dont have to do that but that will probly fix it. good luck!
Agree, a factory reset can fix all kinds of software issues and with Google App Backup it is easier than ever to recover.

Titanium Backup Issues?

Has anyone been having issues with Titanium backup "hanging" during batch restorations? There seem to be certain problem apps for me that pretty consistently cause the issue. Where's My Water is one of them.
Typically, what I see happen is that the batch process will hang on one app until I force kill TiBu. Then if I go back and run the batch restore again, and choose Restore Missing Apps, it will not include the app that appeared to cause the hang (the app did actually get restored). This seems to be happening more and more often for me, on multiple devices - not just the tab.
I have tried changing to the "indirect" method of restoring in the preferences, but it still hangs.
Does anyone else have issues like this?
Thanks
Same issue. For the problem app, I can restore the app only then data just fine. Can't do both at the same time.

Thanks for the feedback...
So you do app only batch restores without issues? And then a batch restore of data only? Or are you doing this as a restore of a single app?
I will have to give that a try next time I flash a new ROM.

I've had the issue on other devices before. You could try going to preferences in tibu, change 'processing mode' to 'indirect', and try again. See if that helps

Same issue here - clearly not limited to a certain device - I've got the same issue on my EVO 3D. It's always Where's My Water, Sam's Club, and NFL'12 that hang up like this.

I sent my support request in several days ago and haven't heard anything back yet. I am always amazed at how frequently the app gets updated yet the issue persists.
I have tried the app only restores combined with using the indirect method pogroms the preference settings and I still have the same issues...
A new version just came out.
This is my first attempt at using it. I only rooted my P7310 today and wanted to do a Ti backup after doing my nandroid.
All I get from TiBkup is an FC on start. Not sure if this is the same for others w/ the new release or whether I have a bad system. Given that the new release is dated today it may be that this is a new issue.
I'm using stock 3.2 w/ CWM. My next step was to add 'motley V2d' but now I'm a little hesitant due to TiBkup not running.

Problem solved by latest update! (so far)
Hey all,
Just wanted to post an update to the issue. I got another update from the market today (5.3), and one entry in the changelog grabbed my attention:
Version 5.3.0 ============= - Fixed an old bug that caused app restores & Market Doctor to hang while processing an app that had apostrophes in its name.
It was the stinking apostrophes in the names! This explains where's my water, Sam's club, and NFL'12. Not sure about flight control for me, but I successfully restored that one today too.
So get the update and give it a shot next time u flash a new ROM!
Thanks

Notifications

What's the deal with this phone not giving notifications? I don't get half of my text notifications even if I use Go SMS and the pop up feature. Any ideas? I have the apps protected from sleeping so I'm at a loss.
Happening to me also with gmail and Google Voice.
Yeah its kind of ridiculous. Does this thing deep sleep that much that it doesn't allow the notifications or what? If its a bug in their version of JB then this thing is going back for a refund since we're not getting any updates.

I had the same problem a little over a month ago.
The solution that worked for me was to find a twrp from someone not having the issue, (someone has posted one on this forum already).
Pull your most recent twrp to your PC. Open their twrp with clean system file, copy three files related to system backup over your system files in your twrp.
Put your twrp backup back to your SD card and restore from it.
I had the same problem you guys are having and this solved it. Hangouts was the only app still broken after and it barely even mattered to me.
Hope this helps. Please look further down the list in Q&A section to find original posts regarding this problem and solution.

I had the same problem
My gmail email were not getting pushed. The reason was is the phone was not reporting to apps that it had a interenet connection. Check your google now search page. At the top it will say no interet connection. even though you are connected. I had one twrp image that was connected to the internet but on the lock screen it said no service. I had one good twrp backup that I used and got it to where I am some one pleased with it. If you modify too much stuff in that build.prop that might be the casue or if you have renamed the provider folder in your cust folder that might be the cause or if you mess up you local.prop file that might be the cause. I'm only guessing on those from the things that I have tried.

so tired of this! My j7 android 6 gets full device storage everyday for months

Hey, my device internal storage got like free 1-2gb space, sometimes it accidently (no special time) tells me that i got full storage and i can't even recieve any messege. free space is like 16kb. If i leave it like this it will be fixed alone after sometime like 10 minutes for example. I couldn't find any reason why is this happening.

You will find no help here with lucky patcher installed. This app is banned and any that, use it are tossed to the wolves so to speak.
What is most likely happening is the caches from other apps are eating up your space until they get cleared. With this low budget device I would keep apps and files to a bare minimum.

Any app that bypasses paying for an app is banned here. Developers don't take to thieves very well. Good. That app can give you all kinds of junk that messes up devices.
You could enable adb on the device and run a logcat. This will take some time to catch the issue.
Or you could do a factory reset and see if it still does it. This way you will know if it is a system app.

My 2 cents here, if it helps.
1. Since you have root access, try and and use a good (system) app uninstaller and completely uninstall any apps you do not use. (my guess is you already did that?)
2. Reboot (must step after finishing uninstalling for better follow-up, clean-up process)
3. Try and use SD Maid. On first use, grant it superuser access, go to options and customize folders, give permissions to clean system folders and apps. You might be surprised to see as much as half a GB available for cleaning/ deletion. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.sdm&hl=en
Let me know how it went, if you haven't already tried the posted suggestion.
