[Q] Google Now No Internet Connection - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Nexus 5, unmodified and unrooted on 4.4.4
I disabled background data recently because I was running out.
I noticed that the Google Now Launcher had a "No Internet Connection" box even when connected to home Wi-Fi.
I re-enabled background data and pulled down to refresh.
I now have no cards at all, when there were previously some old ones.
I have cleared data and cache of both Google Now Launcher and Google Search.
I have rebooted multiple times.
I have uninstalled updates and reinstalled updates for both Google Now Launcher and Google Search.
I don't know what to do at this point, other than a full device reset.

I am facing the same issue since morning

You can try deleting the home network and then reconnecting to it.

I'm having the same issues.. But remember, people were having this issue after last year's Google IO.

It's definitely an issue on Google's end. I'm having problems on both my Nexus 5 and iPad Mini...

Yeah, tried everything but still no luck. I wish google sends an update

I have the same problem on Nexus 4, (4.4.4). I hope Google will fix this issue soon.

I know its not a wrong thread to ask but I am facing this issue whenever I recieve call and using the phone, no option comes up to accept or reject plus navigation bar also hides. Can anyone please suggest me whats the issue. Have searched other threads but no luck.

Hi guy i can help you
Try to change/modify the Kernel ROM, or even change your Smartphone if you are under warranty

I have tried stock, franco nd elementalx.. In all three issue persists.

Has anyone tried a full device reset?
I got some cards. When I pull to reset, I get "no internet connection again."
Forgetting and reconnecting to the Wi-fi had no effect.

I'm having the same problem with my N5. Some searching seems to indicate that it may be due to Google Now's new "Google Now Everywhere" option, only officially available on the L preview, but unofficially by a hack here:https://plus.google.com/+AdamLawrence/posts/46A68S7Dytb
I installed the L preview and played with it for a few hours and enabled the "Google Now Everywhere" option, which I assume toggles some setting at Google, so that's probably how it happened for me.
Did anyone else try the L preview or use the hack above?

I used the hack, but Google Now Everywhere is supposedly rolling out to KitKat devices too with the latest update. But with the above person seeing an issue on an iPad tells me it's on Google's end.

I haven't used any hacks at all. I think the Google Now Everywhere thing might be it. Can someone link to what it's about? I haven't found anything specific by googling.

The latest version of Google Search, 3.5.14, has the OK Google Everywhere thing. If you're not on that version, I don't think it'd be what's causing the connection issue.

I was on that version. Downgrading Google Search has fixed my issue. Thanks for the workaround! Also, I was not able to get OK Google hotword detection to on the lock screen, despite being on 3.5.14...

Cool, well mine came back too without me doing anything.. so yay?

Hello.
Any updates or ideas about this error?
I have a device suffering this same. But by having installed CM11/12 all the time never experienced until go back to stock Motorola. Just to sold it and see the new owner told me about the problem, wanting to have his money back.
Version 4.2.x and lowers are working. Once the phone installs last 4.3.x or 4.4.x the problem starts.

Yes......This seems to be a bug.
I'm using Google Now with android 4.4.4, same issue.

[Q] Google Wallet after rooting

So I recently rooted my Nexus S 4G and then returned to stock. I wanted to try the ICS rom to see how ti was then went back to Gingerbread. I found that when I unrooted, Google Wallet does not work anymore. The app just initializes and then force closes after about 15 seconds. I looked all over forums and what not to see if anyone else had the same problem and had found a solution and didnt find anything substantial enough to fix my problem. I contacted the Google Wallet team about it and they were helpful but in the end told me rooted devices couldnt be guaranteed access to the app because of security concerns.
Ive tried the obvious solutions (check if NFC is on, update the app) and nothing has worked thus far. Does anyone have any idea if this can be fixed or is my phone blocked from Google Wallet for good? I'm running stock 2.3.7. I returned to stock using a "1ClickToStock" app i found which brought me to 2.3.4 and then did OTA updates to get back to 2.3.7. In the Google Wallet app it says my OS is "sojus GWK74 Nexus S 4G release-keys" in the About section. That doesnt really sound like a Google branded OS so maybe I just got shafted on the return to stock thing I got. Regardless I dont see how being blocked out would make the app crash consistently. If anyone has any idea of how to fix this please let me know
Also, I'm new here so I'm not sure if this goes here or the Nexus S forum or somewhere else. I figured its more a Google Wallet question anyway.

Error - Application Already Exists when updating Market apps

It seems that many, if not all, of the apps I try to 'update' in the Android market generates an error on the Prime that says 'Application already exists' in the menu bar with an ! icon. This is annoying... I can uninstall / reinstall the app to get an update, but whenever I just click update in the Market, I get this error a lot.
Of course the application already exists! I'm updating it. Stupid Prime.
Does anyone have a fix for this? I searched the forum and didn't see anyone mention this annoying problem.
Are you getting system reboots?
Rumour has it the system reboots are a result of a failure while optimizing apps for ICS during the upgrade process.
Sounds like perhaps your OSs view of your apps is a little messed up...

No. Actually, I seem to have the least amount of problems with the Prime compared to most on the forum. Really, this issue and the weak GPS signal are the only ones I've had. Well, and the decreased wifi bandwidth when streaming bluetooth. But everything else generally runs smooth.
Two apps for example that I had this issue with... updating Google Voice and eTrade. Both of those for sure gave me the error that the app already existed. Uninstalling and reinstalling worked fine to grab the latest version.
Actually, I take that back. Sometimes when I do an uninstall / reinstall, it still says there is an update available.

Unfortunately I have the same issue. I haven't found a good way to work around it yet. As you have found sometimes uninstalling works and sometimes not.
Sometimes uninstalling it, rebooting the Prime, then reinstalling it works. Although, that's still sometimes as far as I can tell.
I've just started getting this issue when trying to update Officesuite Pro, first time it's happened.
Oddly enough when first typing this reply my Prime locked up and rebooted itself, which it's not done before.
Never had a reboot under ICS, at least not yet. But quite frequently have this problem. So I guess there is no correlation between the two.
The only anomalies that I experience are Skype or Talk video calls that suddenly die. No FC or any other message, Skype or Talk just exit.
I bet these types of problems will go away with a root and a custom rom in the future. Wish Asus would release the bootloader unlocking tool already!
Try clearing the dalvik cache?

Can you do that on a non-rooted Prime? I'm just waiting for the official unlock tool to go through that process.
This has happened to me on select apps too. Particularly xe app and officesuite pro. Can't seam to update them to the current version no matter what I do. Unistall/reinstall, clear delvik, and clear market data hasn't worked for me

I have the same problem, and i tried everything but it didn't work
Yeah... right now for me, it's Google Voice. And the worst part is, you can't get it to stop saying it's updating the market app even though it stops almost immediately. Annoying.
I get this sometimes, but I press update again and it updates fine

Random reboot is a normal way of life with android. A reboot here or there is nothing to worry about. Most of the time its from a bad app you installed. Now if you rebooting several times a day, then that's a problem. Its actually good to reboot or at least power down n then back on device every once in a while. It'll give device a fresh start on RAM and clear any mishaps that may have or could occur. Same deal with Ipad. They recommend rebooting every now n then for a fresh start and to have more ram available for use.
I haven't had this happen on my Prime, but I was having this same issue today on my Sprint GSII.
Not sure if this is a work around, but it just worked for me. Instead of updating the app from the 'my apps' section of the market, I went to the page in the market with the full app description. I clicked the update link there and it installed fine. I'll have to test this theory out more.
i too am facing similar probs. while updating WhatsApp and Skype too it shows that the application is already existing.
pls. note. both WhatsApp and Skype are under different Accounts
can this cause a prob that previously i would have installed it by 1 account and later on by another account when i changed the phone ?
pls. guide.

[Q] Android Apps updating twice via Google Play Store

I've recently discovered that when I update Apps via Google Play, the same already updated apps re-emerge within 24 hours to update again.
I haven't realised this before, and always thought that the developers are releasing two quick updates in succession. But, I found this bit weird and verified the app versions that I've already updated, and voila, there it is, Google Play is updating the exact same version again.
Are there anyone experiencing this problem, and are there any solutions?
I also experience same issue, but after i upgraded to ICS, now this twice update fix.

Strange. It never went away for me. I'm on CM9 atm, and still having the same issue. Even before, when I was on stock GB and ICS, this problem was always there.

Issue with weather location

Hey guys im not sure if this is a common issue or not. I would use search but everytime I click on search my internet just sits there and loads for ever and nothing happens.
But here goes.
I have an Xperia Mini using CM10 mod on it. Everytime I pull up the weather on my phone it proceeds to tell me I am in Benton... I am not, I am in Wallsend.
However, I have a feeling it isn't the custom rom that is the issue as it always seemed to do this even on the stock rom from Sony.
I have tried clearing out my Network location data and that seemed to temporarily fix the issue but when I woke up this morning it was back to telling me I am in Benton. Until I went into the maps and told it to find my location! Why can't it automatically do this when I search for the weather?
P.S I am using the weather search feature for Google Now, not a dedicated weather app.
I hope someone can help me as I have searched everywhere and not had a viable answer. If I can't find the answer then its not too much of a problem as I am upgrading to a Galaxy Nexus this September.

[Q] "Your device isn't compatible with this version"

This is my phone:
Model: Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband Version: I9100XXLPS
Kernel Version: 3.0.15-I9100XWLP7-CL340913
[email protected] #3
Build number: IML74K.XWLP7
The problem I’m having is that I cannot download, install, or update any app through the Google Play Store; the title of this thread is the message I get. I’m aware that there have been several other threads on this topic; believe me when I say I’ve tried every one of the suggested remedies, and none has worked.
Having successfully flashed ROMs a number of times since I’ve had this phone - without problems - this issue arose after I decided to try out the latest CyanogenMod 4.2 Jelly Bean ROM and - having decided I didn’t want to stick with it - switched back to a stock ICS ROM, which is what I had in place before this trouble started. I won’t bore you with all the different things I’ve tried; my question now is this:
If I do a total wipe and factory reset, what is the likelihood that the problem will persist? The reason I am uncertain is that the problem appears to be linked to the device settings in the Google Play store, which appear to survive whatever is done to the device. Since my thought is to reinstall everything from scratch after the reset, I don’t want to find, after putting myself through all the work involved, that the problem is still there.
All advice welcome.
you didn't just duplicate this thread, did you?
I saw a google play thread somewhere around here.....
sent, and now this app cra.........
Did you change the DPI when you are changing ROMs? If so, then you need the Multi DPI Play Store, link.
Even if not, you can try the steps from the link above in terms of clearing data and rebooting to see if that would help. Once you fix the issue on your phone, the Google Play Store will no longer show apps as not compatible from phone and PC.

OK, I've now followed all the steps in the link - absolutely no difference. A further clue to this issue seems to be that if I use the Google account I originally set up this phone with, Google Play thinks it was registered on Jan 3rd (the day I tried the CyanogenMod ROM); to try and get around this, I opened a fresh Google account with a new email address; this account thinks "There are no Android devices associated with this account.", even though I've registered it with Play Store on the SGSII. It seems to me that this is not a technical issue with the phone or its software, but an issue with the Google Play Store and its associated servers.
So, it's back to my original question: if I do a total wipe and factory reset, is it likely that the problem will persist? And if so, are there any viable alternatives to the Play Store?
that....could work.
It's similar to the "Can't connect to server due to Unsecure network" issue (or something like that). Look into that, might bring some light into this matter.
I have to tell you that I don't know exactly which of the many things I tried actually made a difference, but - I've fixed it!
The last two things I did - and I had already tried these before - were found on androidforums.com - but it seems I'm not allowed to post the link. Perhaps I can tell you that after the website comes a slash, then samsung-galaxy-nexus, then a slash, then 525874-you-don't-have-any-devices, then a dot, then html.
So - thanks for your help, and I hope others with the same problem will persevere. And to sort of answer my own question, you don't have to do a factory reset to fix this - but it's still not clear to me whether it would have solved the problem.
Anyway, now I'm going to sit on my hands and wait for the official JellyBean release from Samsung, which looks to be coming soonish....
Glad to hear that. It musta been something to do with account and what not.
And yes, JB is coming, ask the koreans.
