Hey,
I'm suffering some issues with two Samsung mobiles, namely a S3 and a Note2. Push notifications simply won't work reliably on both devices (lacking a data-capable SIM, I could only test on wifi, where other devices work like a charm).
I flashed with M9, then went to nightly, flashed the most recent GApps, and also tried push notification fixer, disabled wifi optimization, re-logged in via Hangouts, to no avail. Without a visible pattern, one or both devices fail getting GCM messages at all. Moving the device to airplane mode and back seems to newly roll the dice.
Wifi on those devices work, as I could ping them reliably, it's just GCM that doesn't work, visible in apps like Threema, but also in the Android device manager that is unable to locate the device, or the Play store when I remotely try to install an app. Putting the device on (unlocking not required) seems to cure the problem for a little while.
Having researched a bit, I'm quite clueless. As both devices IMHO are the same Exynos platform, and have been cleanly installed just a few days ago, is that maybe a known issue, related to Android 4.4 and wifi drivers?
Any chance of debugging GCM to see where the issue is?
Thanks!

Are you apply or modifying anything to do with battery saving?
Have you tried reseting to factory setting, wiping /system and /data (warning you will lose all data so backup). reinstall rom gapps plus those specific apps that don't work and tested it?
Thanks for your reply!

I did so before installing the system, both devices are a completely fresh setup, incl. wiping of system and data. I thought I had luck with wiping cache & dalvik as it worked yesterday, but today, once again, only one of those devices works.
Seems in fact GCM loses connection on one of the devices (the second one seems to work like a charm now). Removed Google account and re-added it, but status in *#*#426#*#* shows google play failed connection ev:1 err:16 net:1
No idea how to fix that though ;-(
If you have done a complete clean flash and not touched any settings im afraid im out of ideas.

Hi Friends,
Few days a go as I was watching youtube videos for around 45 minutes continuously through the youtube app. The streaming suddenly paused and never continued from that point. I tried other videos but it kept on buffering (the circle kept on spining and nothing happened, as noticed on the leds of wifi router it seemed youtube app is not using the net but when i search for more videos the thumbnail do showup normally).
To over come this issue i tried reflashing. This happened when i was on the new HyperDroid_v4.0 with Pongster's MattedBlack v4.0 Surgeons which is amazing for battery saving.
I then tried reflashing HyperDroid_v4.0 again after formatting /cache /system /data /sdcard /emmc which wiped everything, but still no avail.
Then i again tried reflashing DarkyROM2 XXKH3 BASE (2.3.4) formatting everything but still no luck at all.
I even tried these flashing after Factory data reset selecting Format USB storage as well .
When i do the flashing everything else seems to be working fine as usual except the youtube playback and android market doesn't download, like i said for the youtube app, everything like searching the apps, browsing through apps details works fine except it doesn't download at all. It shows as if it's downloading but it stays as is forever.
Very sorry if same question was posted before this as i couldn't find like it.
I have been trying to fix this for 2 days in a row but still no luck.
Has anyone come across this same issue.
Please help.
Thank you very much in advance..
Update:The problem was finally solved after again formatting /cache /system /data /sdcard /emmc and flashed stock ROM though Odin and then I installed DarkyROM tool and then flashed DarkyROM2_KI3_Base ROM.
I will soon jump to HyperDroid_v4.0 with Pongster's MattedBlack v4.0 Surgeons again as it has superb battery life.
I will be updating you guys if the same problem persist.
Thank you all
Hello everyone!
Although I am not using GS2 (I have a Galaxy Note), I chose to post here because I didn't want to create a new post and I believe this is not a device-specific issue (see below for why).
I have the exact same problem as OP (as far as I can see). When I got my note less than a week ago, everything was working great. Then, last Friday I noticed that I cannot download anything from the market. After choosing to download something (both paid or free), after clicking "accept & download" at the permission screen, the screen goes back to app screen and market shows the app as "downloading..." with working, yet empty, progress bar. Everything else using the internet works fine - browsing from different browsers, notifications, email etc. I even tried installing an alternative market app, and it would download/install apps no problem. Also, downloading straight .apk files works as well. Later that evening I also noticed youtube app doesn't work - just the "loading" circle keeps running, until it times out. Browsing/searching market/youtube works without a problem. I am using the stock ROM and it isn't even rooted. Later, following some suggestions from google searches on the problem, it turns out that downloads work when I disable network and let it use mobile internet. I also later found out that it works on other wifi networks, just not my home wifi (which used to work perfectly, with no configuration changes to the router).
Next day I also found out that my girlfriend's android (LG Optimus Me P350) has the same exact problem, therefor it is not a phone model specific problem.
Here is what I tried so far:
Factory reset - left me with no apps and no way to re-download them. The market download did work ONCE after the reset, but that was to download the update to the market itself, nothing else;
Clearing Download Manager data - worked for ONE download. At first it worked for one download every time, meaning, after clearing download manager data, I was able to download one app, after that it would go back to the problem. I could then clear data again, and it would again download one app. After about 5 apps downloaded this way, this solution won't work at all anymore;
Force closing/clearing data of market, gmail, talk (in combination with above step) - didn't work;
Signing out/in to gmail and/or talk - didn't work;
Changing google account in market - didn't work;
Stopping/starting download countless times - didn't work;
Switching wifi on/off - only starts downloading briefly when phone switches to 3G while wifi is off. As soon as it gets wifi connection back, the download stalls at the position it was until I switch wifi off again (so it can continue to use 3G);
Switching phone to airplane mode, off/on, then disabling airplane mode - didn't work;
Changing phone's DNS records with an app to OpenDNS - didn't work;
Updating router firmware - didn't work;
Resetting router firmware - didn't work;
Setting port triggering on router for port 5228 - didn't work;
Port forwarding to Note IP for same port - didn't work;
Disabling router firewall - didn't work;
My router is Linksys E1000.
I think that is all I tried. I have been trying to find a solution for the whole weekend, and nothing as far. Searching google makes me believe that many people have had the same problem. I have found many solutions, which don't work, or only work once. This problem is really, really irritating. Also, I have found out that for many people the problem seems to randomly disappear without doing anything after some time (days to months), sometimes coming back and sometimes not. I experienced this myself when after going to sleep, I was able to download one app in the morning with no tried "fixes" at that time. This also makes me believe that there are many "fake" solutions, which did work for some people, but not for others - quite possibly, while these people were "solving" the problem, it actually solved itself, yet because the person did something, he/she believes that was the solution. A notable example of this could be "google account 24-hour reset" where users experiencing the problem are suggested to log out of their google accounts everywhere and not use the account for anything for 24 hours. Seeing as this is possibly a problem somehow connected to another device, not just the phone itself, I did consider flashing DD-WRT on my router, but I wouldn't really want do do that since my router is not that powerful and with all the DD-WRT features my broadband speed gets capped at about 65Mbit/s. Still a lot, but I have a great internet connection and am able to get real speeds of about 90Mbit/s with stock router firmware.
If anyone has any ideas, please share Thank you in advance!
Just a quick reply - I contacted my apartment building network tech, and he said that they didn't do anything regarding the internet that day, but they did however do something to offer TV service to residents (edit: The TV network shares the same hardware as internet's). He said that it shouldn't have changed anything regarding internet, but he would look into it. A few hours later everything is working.
Of course, it could be one of those cases where the problem disappears with no apparent reason, but I guess they did something to fix it. So, if you are experiencing the same problem (market downloads not working and youtube app not playing videos), and you have tried everything else (preferably confirmed the problem persists on someone elses phone), I would suggest you start going up the chain to whoever is managing your network (after yourself). If at all possible, try getting wifi access through someone else who is using the same ISP/network - if the problem persists even when connected to another AP/Router, it's pretty sure the ISP or network is to blame.
Hope this helps someone, since I wasted a few days on this
To begin I love this ROM, it removes all the bloat and looks great; I just have a few problems I can't seem to resolve.
1. When I first set up my google account I managed to sync my gmail, contacts, etc. just fine to the phone. However when I tried to use either Google Plus or Google Now I was receiving both connection errors or security errors (Couldn't sign in - A problem occurred while communicating with Google Servers.). I managed to solve the latter by removing the network time synchronization options, however the connection problem persists. If I leave these options disabled all of my google apps cease to function so I've re-enabled them. Note at no point in time did my data stop working, I can browse the net just fine on the phone.
I have noticed that someone did post about similar issues in the main thread for the rom, however I was unable to find the solution they used to solve the problem. I would appreciate any help that could be provided.
If it is of any help I did attempt to flash Speed Rom, and it doesn't have these issues, so it leads me to believe it is some sort of configuration error.
2. GPS doesn't appear to be getting a lock. I'm indoors so this may be the reason for it not working, however the icon shows that it has gathered a lock, but my accuracy remains at 30 meters. I will test this further when I am out and about tomorrow to see if it works any better.
1. This problem came from Google server that has been widely reported on other forums as well. Honestly I don't know how to fixed it but I would recommend you try to re-flash the rom. Perhaps the data were save while Google server acted up and hence it saved to your phone. I personally turn-off the Google Now since it consumed too much battery though.
2. GPS: Download GPS Status & Toolbox or Faster Fix to get the right regional for your location. read the description when downloading those app since they may required Busybox installed
In order for GPS fast and accurate locked, sometime you need to turn-on Google Location service
Good luck
First and foremost, thank you for your response.
I did as you suggested and re-installed the rom. This time before doing anything else I enabled only my wifi and attempted to add an account right away.
System Settings > Accounts & sync > ADD ACCOUNT
Doing this left me with the following message:
"Couldn't sign in
Can't establish a reliable connection to the server.
This could be a temporary problem or your android device may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care."
Note this is over wifi not 3G. I have tried a few times to re-flash this rom and that doesn't seem to help. Any other idea's?
Did you, by any chance, turn-on data in setting>mobile data ?
This last time I didn't. Since I was using wifi I figured I wouldn't need to turn on my data?

Doesn't hurt to try my friend
By turning on 3G I have managed to log into my account and have it sync. However I am still getting a "Sign-in error".
Also the browser was unable to sync so I've disabled that. Now when I launch Google Plus I get the following:
"No connection
Couldn't connect to the server."
And with Google Now I'm getting
"Network error..."
Had this problem earlier too. It happened to me because I didn't do a data wipe when upgrading from Craigtuts earlier rom. HTH
Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G using xda app-developers app
Just a quick update, I have managed to get this ROM working.
There was suggestion in the original thread, by Ninjistix, for this ROM suggesting the installation of SpeedROM 7.8. Once installed go ahead and log into your google account, then flash this ROM by "formatting" / "wiping" everything except data. THIS DID NOT WORK FOR ME.
Out of desperation, I decided to restore my backed up STOCK rom. After doing so I, I logged into my google account and found that everything was working, no sign-in errors from anything at all. So I wiped everything EXCEPT data, flashed this rom and its been working perfectly since.
I'd like to thank Ninjistix for inspiring my fix and craigtut for making such a beautiful rom. Hopefully one of these two methods works for everyone else trying to flash this ROM.

thanks for the shout out, i was just coming here to direct you to one of my other post's related to that annoying sign-in error, we still haven't figured out the main reason behind it yet, but i as long as we have the work around of keeping the (user) data then i guess "all's well that ends well"
Hello folks. Been lurking on the forums, grabbing what info and software and tips I needed for a couple years, but never had a need to post something. Now, the problem has been described already in the topic title, but I'll elaborate.
Somewhere in a period of 24-36 hours of being turned on continuously, my phone (a Sony Xperia Go with Cyanogenmod 11 running on it, but the problem was there before with stock rom too) needs to be rebooted, else I can't receive or send text messages or call. The text messages simply won't be sent and I don't get a waiting tone (or any sound for that matter) when I try to call and it'll eventually fail.
Now when I still used a stock rom, I'd see that I had lost network connection, but on the current Cyanogenmod build I still have full bars. This issue I then have to fix by rebooting my phone, as I stated. I have not tried setting it to airplane mode for a quick fix, but in all honesty, I'm looking for a permanent fix, not a temporary one. And this also seems to be an issue that isn't just with my type of phone.
I tried looking for a solution already several times, but all I could find that described my problem was this thread. I have not tried ordering a new sim card from T-Mobile yet, since that costs money over here in the Netherlands, and I wanted to make sure I had exhausted every possible software fix before trying to fiddle with hardware.
Hope this is enough information for you guys to at least tell me something. Even if it's "yup, you're boned."
Gentle bump. Apologies for doing so, but I'm fairly certain I'm not the only one with this problem.
I'm having this same issue. I'm running the latest stable build of CyanogenMod on Maguro (CM11/Snapshot7). I push my SMS's through Google Voice (using CM Voice+ which is now integrated into the systems menu). I didn't notice exactly when the problem started because I have Hangouts and SMS integrated in the Hangouts app, and chat with people using both all the time. I do know that The problem didn't start after a CM update, it happened in the middle of the day while the phone was on as far as I can tell. Since then I have tried clearing caches, updated to the newest nightly release, and so forth to no avail. Rather than rebooting, I can just turn on airplane mode and turn it off to get my SMSs, but still quite a bother.
Did OP figure this out?
Nope. I ended up having to get a new phone, as it was getting worse and worse, up to a point where I had to reset it every hour. I just assumed it was a hardware problem and got a new phone.
I did a factory reset / complete reinstall and still have the problem.
After the reset and recovery, I assumed it was a telephony issue and messed with the APN and data settings as much as I could, including checking and editing the default databases. No avail.
I uninstalled Google Voice and turned off Voice+ and SMS's began working with my SIM number. Bingo! So I started messing with Google settings. Log out, log in. Reinstall apps, etc. I eventually discovered that whenever I tried to clear the cache on my Google Play Services my Settings would crash. So i figured that I had a corrupted Google Play Services, which was preventing my phone from syncing with Google Servers except on reboot or connection refresh. I later realized that I should have been tipped off to this by the orange wifi/wireless icons in my Settings dropdown.
I couldn't uninstall or update Google Play Services so I just downloaded the latest version of CM GAPPS, cleared app and Dalvik caches, and flashed GAPPS into place.
Bing, bang boom... it still didn't work. Icons still orange, Google Play Services still crashes when I try to open it from Settings>Apps.
Not sure what to do next except maybe another factory reset, and instead of using Titanium Backup to restore, I will just load a fresh version of CM11 and not update it. ??
Hello,
I have HTC One M7 with Android Revolution HD One 36.1 and recovery TWRP 2.6.3.4 .
I was running it like this without any issues for more than one year. Only recently (few weeks back) phone started to download huge amounts of data. It downloaded few GBs during weekend. All these downloads are displayed as Android System in background.
I have tried to block it with firewall but to no avail. I have tried to perform factory reset, I have tried to reflash ROM from TWRP. But in all cases issue immediately started again. In the end I was able to reduce consumption by restriction on all downloads in background through settings. This way it does not download data on cellular networks, but it still drains all Wi-Fis I connect to. It also means that I cannot use most functionalities I was used to like autosynchronization of gmail, apps like viber does not work and many other small obstructions.
Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of this?
thank you
Hi all. Not sure if this is a general Android problem or a Samsung issue but posting here to see if anyone else is having this issue. Upon using the Hey Google voice command, the green light in the corner indicating the mic is in use turns on, but nothing pops up and no Google Assistant is visible. If I tap on the green light it tells me Google is using the mic (obviously), so I go into the mic permissions from there and toogle off and then on the Google Assistant mic permissions. I can then use the voice command and Google Assistant will come up as usual. This then repeats many times per day.
Is anyone else having similar issues? I have tried all fixes I've seen online and nothing helps.
If the Google command is not working despite the microphone light being on, there could be a few possible reasons. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
Check your internet connection: Ensure that you have a stable internet connection. Voice commands require an active internet connection to function properly.
Restart your device: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve temporary issues. Try restarting your device and see if the Google command starts working again.
Clear cache and data: Go to the settings of the Google app or your web browser and clear the cache and data. This can help resolve any temporary glitches that might be causing the issue.
Check microphone settings: Make sure that the microphone is enabled and properly configured on your device. You can do this by going to the settings and checking the microphone settings.
Update Google app or browser: Ensure that you have the latest version of the Google app or web browser installed. Updates often contain bug fixes and improvements that can address issues with voice commands.
If none of these steps resolve the problem, it may be a more complex issue that requires further troubleshooting or assistance from technical support.

Unfortunately I did all of that besides clear the Google app completely because that is a nightmare...but if it keeps happening I may have to. All of the normal stuff I've tried.
So I did clear Google app data and it's still happening as of tonight. I'm on a locked S23 ultra in the US directly from Samsung so I don't know how something like could break this badly without being rooted or something.
I've had this happen to me. I am rooted and on dr.ketan ROM.
After wiping data and setting up Google app again it starts working, but stops again the next day.
I have 2 same phones that are basically mirrors as far as setup and this was only happening to one of them.
After many attempts including clearing data and setting up Google app again it always stopped working on the next day.
Eventually I restored TWRP back up which is from before the problem occurred. Now it is working again.
This is why I would never use a phone without root or TWRP.
Had this problem too until yesterday, it was just an issue with the specific app Version of Google.
Newest Update fixed it

Bro..are/were you part of Google tech support? Your trouble shooting steps uncannily resembles the same steps that Google tech support would normally advice!
So this is still happening, even after all updates, many clearing cache and data, many restarts of the phone. It will work initially, and then the next time I need it the mic light will come on and google assistant doesn't pop up. Anyone else perhaps have had this happen?

This happened again to me yesterday. I went to app info, cleared cache and force stopped Google app, then without opening the app said "hey Google" and it started working again. It still works today. Hopefully it will stay that way.

I have a sort of similar issue where randomly google assistant will just stop waking up to the hey google command. I have found in my case if you go into default apps then switch the default assistant to a different option and then set it back to Google it resolves my issue for a while. May not work in your case but worth a try.

Yea this does work temporarily. I tried it again just now and it happened exactly the way I described before. Just the mic light, nothing popped up, tap the mic light, mic being used by Google. Just a total disaster at this point. I can only hope that the June update (if we ever get one) somehow fixes this.

Setting the default app to something else for assistant and then putting it back to Google had no effect for me. Still wasn't working until I cleared cache and force stopped Google.
