Pretty odd if you ask me, I haven't found anything similar with my searches.

Stock EVO

2.2

PRL 60670

PRI 1.40_003

Just did a wipe/factory reset. Did not have this issue before the wipe, and don't want to wipe again, just got done getting everything setup the way I wanted.

So here's the situation.

Basically it's somewhat random. Open Market First page loads(cached) but any other searches or categories give me an error "A network error has occurred".

I cancel that, jump back to browser, try a google search to test my 3g connection, one search may work, then I get network errors. But, when testing other websites, ala espn.com, it works fine. Go back to google, no dice.

I am then forced to reboot, or force close both Market and the Browser to be able to browse again. But as soon as I pull up Market, and get the error, I'm back to not being able to use google. It's very odd and random, and I feel like I'm going crazy. I've toggled radio, wifi etc to refresh 3g connection, does nothing.

I haven't installed anything new recently, no updates, etc. I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing issues. I have a co-worker having similar stuff with his hero, and another guy from this weekend had the network error in the market. We had 3 phones together, two got network error the other was fine.

It's been about 3-4 days of this.

If I missed some big issue, flame me and everything, I'm just tired of messing with it.

Thanks,

Laddy

holy moly, this just started happening to me today too. Tried several different roms. Several kernels. Reflashed the newest radio. did a ##768# and ##3282# reset.

You are correct, it is only google affiliated sites that aren't working and i didn't realize that until you pointed it out.

I access sprint sites fine. 3g stays connected with full signal at all times. At this point i can't even log into my google accounts to sync contacts and crap..... this is really irritating me. WTF is google doing?

Weirdness. I live in champaign illinois, where abouts are you? And what gives people? These roms i tried flashing of course have worked before, i am a very technical person and nothing on the phone itself has been messed up. Seems that google may be blocking the phone for some reason.

I am having the same issues, no google services work, that includes:

Google Talk

Gmail

Google Reader

Google Voice

pointing a browser at www.google.com

All other web surfing works fine, all other data works fine, full bars 3G

Tried factory data resets, 3 different roms

Flashed back to stock 2.2 still nothing.

I can't add Google accounts.

Sounds like basically no connection to any Google servers for any of their services.

Seems like its just through sprint though, maybe not, maybe sprints routers stopped routing traffic to Google for some reason.

I have searched the net all day and have been unable to find others with this issue, except for here.

Maybe it is just sprint.

Can any non-sprint users confirm there Google services working ok?

Ok, you can get into BL, flash roms, but no recovery and the phone doesnt boot, basicly a boot loop. Now if i RMA this phone and they go into bootloader and see the S-Off flag, will this more than likely void my warrenty or would they have any clue about this? If so, i guess i could flash a radio and pull the battery during the flash to ensure they cant read that lol.

Any help/info is appreciated, thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anderd:
K, guess no one has a answer for wether or not HTC Service & Repair center will know what S-Off means if they put my phone in bootloader when i send them back a phone that wont boot so i cant reverse the unrevoked forever as far as i know, if im wrong, maybe someone can correct me. Would hate to have them not warrenty the phone due to being able to see the S-Off flag in bootloader.

I guess i could brick it bad enough they cant get into bootloader, just was hoping for some feedback so i didnt have to damage the phone more than it already is lol.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noxious Ninja:
There is an S-ON tool on the Unrevoked Forever page. You can use that.

If you used Toast's method, all you have to do is get back to a SHIP bootloader. You can do that easily by running an RUU.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerryparid:
Your phone boots -> it is not bricked. Don't RMA it until you try to resolve the problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprink0281:
To answer your question.....yes if they figure out you put unapproved firmware on the phone they do have the right to void your warranty..yes its legal now but htc or sprint can choose to void..that being said like jerryparid mentioned if it boots its not bricked so try to fix, do some searching you might just find an answer that helps.....also I'd get your flame suit on because it might get hot in here.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
He's right. If your phone boots at all, even if it's just into the bootloader then it is fixable.

There may be better ways of doing it but I would suggest you download the ENG HBOOT from toasts rooting part 2 thread, put it on the root of your sdcard and boot into your bootloader and just let it run. You'll have to set everything back up, including updating your recovery image but at this point there is no reason to have it replaced just yet.

Let us know how it goes, if you need any help bringing your phone back to life we're here for ya! :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anderd:
User Name

Ok let me try and clarify this...

I can get into bootloader, i can flash a rom, radio, hell even RUU from PC, all complete 100%, can not get into recovery, even if i flash a recovery image. The phone DOES NOT BOOT, starts at white HTC start up screen, stay on for about 4 seconds, reboots. You can clear storage, reload roms, radios, none of that gets the phone to boot or do anything other than reboot every 4 seconds.

So nothing i can think of will fix this, ive tried roms loaded via SD card, via RUU from PC when phones in bootloader, reflashing radios, reflashing recovery, nothing works. Phone continuesly reboots after first 4 seconds of being powered on. Never boots past HTC screen. I guess i should just try and brick it 100% so they cant get into boot loader and see the S-Off flag.

Damn phones.. lol...

** EDIT **

In short i guess basicly all im saying in the above, is ive tried everything already mentioned so far prior to my post and none of that did jack squat for me... lol.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
How are you flashing roms from the bootloader?

And if you cant get into recovery how are you "clearing storage"?

No offense, I understand your frustration but I have to think you're not doing something right.. You'd be the first (not saying it's impossible) person to have a phone that gets into the bootloader but is not fixable..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anderd:
Ok, yet again, a clarification, i cant get into a Custom Recovery, power+vol down, all that works fine, can flash rom (load the zip on the sd card, detects, lets you flash via zip) or via RUU in windows this method, now if you scroll down to "recovery" on the menu and click on it, it starts to load then phone reboots and back to square one. Sorry if my hboot/bootloader/recovery understandings are slightly off or differ from anyone elses.

** EDIT **

Ill see if i can make a youtube video with my crappy webcam here in a bit and upload it and maybe that will make it easier to understand whats going on. I had also taken it to a sprint repair center and they couldnt figure it out themselfs lol. So if i can fix it myself, im going to get it to HTC before i my luck runs out some how and they wont fix it lol. THanks for the help guys, i appreciate the replys and help so far!

Hi all!!

I had an accident with my "DEAR HTC Desire" last week, there was wet clothe near my dry clothe, but because of the strong sun of that day, the water become vapour and my desire didn't start.

After some days now I'm able to start, but WiFi Doesn't work, and always starts in Safe Mode. (My Desire is rooted)

My question is if there is some way to force the normal mode start, by software or terminal.

PLEASE HELP ME!!

Thank you in advance and sorry for my bad english.

I tried the method of settings- applications - clear the date from all google related apps - this but it doesn't work.

Changed also the gmail password so the SGS can't log in... Doesn't work.

Whatever I do - I get a red triangle in the top left corner asking for my google password.

Any ideas?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
just go into Seetings > Accounts & Sync

then you can Add new accounts or Edit exisiting accounts
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damdeviousduck:
If you are trying to edit the main account that you signed in with first.. Basically NO! Tried it myself as I couldn't choose which google chat account it signed with as I have 2. Had to factory reset and enter the 2 accounts in the right order first being the one that had all my calendar detail and my google chat account that had all my contacts in.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
that doesn't sounds quite right, i'm able to delete/edit/add any account listed in the Accounts & Sync page in settings
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damdeviousduck:
When you click edit it only lets you change the sync options for that account... but say like me you have 2 gmail accounts and you link them both the first one will sync your calendar the second account will then not give you the option to sync the calendar... also only then lets you sign into things like market place and google chat with the first account ... with no available option to switch accounts... I spoke to samsung and they said the same you must delete the head account (very first account used to access market place or activate anything on the handset). and to do anything other than adjust the sync settings you must factory reset it even tells you that if you try to delete the account!! try it!!

i'm sync-ing calendar with 2 Gmail account 1 for work 1 for personal

each of them have its own sets of contacts and calendars, they each one show up in different colour.

on the personal gmail account i event sync the picasa web album

then on top of that i also sync my yahoo account calendar and contacts, as well as my MSN

but MSN can only sync contacts no calendar option for in hotmail/live accounts

my twitter account can only sync contacts as well

but facebook account can sync both calendar and contacts

and emails also sync across gmails/yahoo/msn accounts

as well as the IM for gtalk/yahoo/msn
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damdeviousduck:
Are you using something other than the stock android calendar because with mine whatever gmail account I signed in first with I had option for sync on the calendar but the second only contacts and gmail.... but with regards to mine, I also had to do it as all my card details were linked to the second account and I didn't want them linked to the other! therefor I had to for the purposes of buying paid apps, by accessing the market place with the other account..... and there is no way of switching accounts for that!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
i'm using the Samsung Apps (email, calendar, IM) that came with the phone

it's quite good, better than i expected

in the calendar each of my accounts have its own colour, so i know which Calendar entry comes from which Sync Account

this is like sooooooooo much better than what i used to have in Palm, Blackberry or Windows Mobile, those 3 are horrible, it was very difficult to have personal + work account in the same phone

but with Android, it's like a dream come true, everything is detailed to its own account, but all visible in 1 calendar

maybe you guys need to upgrade to the latest

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damdeviousduck:
Yeah as I said even if people dont beleive me... other than being able to edit the sync settings of the head account... There is no way of physically changing what the head account is or change the address of the head account. Yes you can add others but they will never become the head account. As I said had to reset mine to change it too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agent86:
This is my experience also. The first entered Gmail account is the only fully functional one the others have limited sync. Many hours and concluded reset is the only fix. Now I will have to repurchase some apps because the Market only talks to the first email account!!!! At least apple allows these basic changes. People have been complaining about this for ages when will google listen? I brought an Android device over Apple iPhone because I hated the lock in Apple does and needing iTunes for everything but find the Android is worse for useability. The only gain over iPhone so far is the Samsung has a bigger display and easier to type or swype. Maybe I am missing something and Android is better but not convinced at all at the moment. Unfortunatly you only find out after owning a device for a few weeks the limitations.

I encourage anyone concerned about the availability of the 3 button download mode, or other issues, to comment on the Samsung Facebook page. I already posted a comment and got a response I find somewhat disturbing... maybe there is strength in numbers.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DarthV:
Make sure he doesn't duck the question. 3 button means that experienced end users can actually fix a bad flash (lol @ Kies) without having to lose their phone for a month (Allgamer is at the 3 week mark now after sending his phone in).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] n0th1ng:
Hopefully they will provide an answer. I have since returned mine back to Future Shop. I've tried 4 other phones hoping to be able to do an exchange, but all of them had 3 button recovery disabled. If they release a fix for this I will buy the phone in an instant.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xtoad:
I saw your post over there...

Exactly what I figured their response would be... I for one am not holding my breath for an update through Samsung to enable 3 button recovery.

They messed though by inexplicably letting some through with it enabled...Makes it hard to justify why some have it and some don't... If anything, expect an update to disable it on the ones that have it enabled!

I hope otherwise, but in all seriousness, the majority of users will likely never have to use recovery and the average user out there is not an xda-developpers member. Yes, Samsung will have to deal with bricks but probably in their mind, they are making it slightly harder to do 'unauthorized' stuff.

Meh, I am not going that far. Recovery mode is a nice to have but it is not going to deprive me of the best phone on the market by miles (there is not a phone that is going to be better than the 3GS for at least 6 months or more, nothing is in the pipeline that comes close)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DarthV:
Until you accidentally brick it, then you are paying $60 a month while it goes off to get fixed. Yes, it's awesome hardware, but without 3 button, it's not worth it to me. I'm also stubborn enough to demand a resolution to this issue before forking out the money a 2nd time :)

wow samsung come on your slacking

Samsung Mobile Canada Hi Jason. 3 button download mode is for internal firmware functions and is not recommended to end-users. It’s typically used by technicians to service malfunctioning phones. Modifying the internal firmware on a mobile phone device may void the warranty. What function you are trying to do? Maybe we can help find another way. Feel free to reach out to us at 1-800-SAMSUNG and we'll see how we can help. Thank

sounds like they could fix it but might not if your dumb enough to flash your bell sgs and have the 3 button combo disabled best of luck to you:D

If I am unlucky enough to brick it (which, despite my rants, is pretty hard to actually do in practice.... as long as you are flashing with a stable laptop it is not going to brick), then I'll get it replaced under warranty. The odds of me flashing it again after Froyo is out are near zero.

See, unlike WinMo, you don't have to re-flash Android to customize it, nearly everything on the phone can be customized in-line. All the stuff Cyogen etc. are doing can be done without flashing the phone, so you don't have to worry about bricking it

I learned from my years with my HTC dev. that re-flashing every few weeks is a huge pain in the butt, and I don't plan on doing that again with this phone.
