I'm having the same issue - have a friend with this problem too. Started for me last night. Like you said just google sites over 3g.
[Epic 4G General] compuw22c:
Same issues here, 4G I believe also. REALLY cost me some time on my commute having to try over and over again to get some directions to a customer's house... Eventually nav did work (even maps was lagging badly), speed tests were 'ok'. Wierd thing is, both 3G and 4G SEEM to be affected, yet if I wifi to my clear connection at home its just fine (and clear blows, usually I'm using my phone on mobile AP to pay bills because comed doesn't work on clear's dirt-cheap chinese ip's). What's up sprint, why GOOGLE, an integral part of the OS would you throttle for god sakes. All speech-to-text operations fail as well as they timeout.

I've rooted my phone and running xtreme kernel and epic experience and this has been happening since yesterday.

Still can't load Google.com but other sites (such as this one, I'm responding via the phone on 3G now) are fine. I can't pin point if its just stock people, rooted people, Epic or EVO people either.. a stock EVO next to me has no problems connecting to Google services. Very strange..
[Epic 4G General] ss4rob:
Looks like its not just me either. Maybe Sprint is upgrading their towers or something? I wish they'd tell us these things so we don't go through ridiculous troubleshooting measures for nothing on our phones..

[Epic 4G General] xellus:
Sprint often seems to have connectivity issues specific to Google services. Couple weeks back when I still had my Evo... I was having issues signing in to google talk. I proved it was on Sprint's end by using Connectbot to create a proxy to mtalk.google.com:5228 and adding an entry for it in /etc/hosts. This fixed the issue completely. Sprint wouldn't admit anything.
[Epic 4G General] ss4rob:
Looks like we're back here in Kentucky - it was a data problem on the Sprint side! I'm glad THAT debacle is over, heh.

someone knows hot to modify build.prop from pc before flashing a rom? It works if i use the block note? :confused:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDA-Dev-Knowledge:
Even though you're on another phone, if your rom is in a zip format. You can simply:

- Unzip the rom

- Locate the build.prop

- Open it with wordpad or notepad++

- Edit it

- Save it

- Rezip the rom

- Flash
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
Well he would also have to edit the update script if he doesn't use a program like winrar or 7zip. Simply extracting the rom zip and making edits to the bp then rezipping the rom won't work. When he goes to flash it if I'm not mistaking it will give the update script error.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thecheatiscool:
I have a rooted AT&T Nexus One, and it has just recently started rebooting rather frequently. It happens on every ROM I try (yes, even stock.) and is really annoying.

Here's what /proc/last_kmsg says...

[ 120.185791] ARM9 has CRASHED
[ 120.185821] smem: DIAG '[WCDMA] 01:05:59 FATAL: (WCDM:PFault :00272) (0)

Does this mean that my phone needs to be sent to HTC? Or is there something I might have flashed previously that could cause this? I can give more info from that file if necessary.

It starts up again and continues to work normally, then (eventually) restarts again. Sometimes it's only like once a day, other times it reboots within a minute.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lenstan57:
I had this G1 around and I want to root it. I'm currenting using my HD2, so this was sitting in the draw. Now I read alot of the threads on how to root it. First I believe you have to downgrade to RC29 build. The phone had DMD64. That may have been the first mistake. I read on The unlockr site that they had a procedure that may work with DMD64. TOO LATE!

I borrowed a sim card from a family member and went through the steps and had it at the point that the RC29 was in the phone. I never had a chance to finish rooting it, because I had to give back their sim. I used mine, and all I get is that the phone can't connect to the google servers, and E:can't open/cache/recovery/command" is at the top of the screen. I use my HD2 everyday, so the sim is good.

Since I can get into the bootloader and the recovery screen, I would think the phone is noy a brick yet. My sim card works fine in my HD2. I already flashed a custom rom in that.

I read the threads about rooting without a sim card and data plan, I think shouldn't have to, since I have a working sim.

The last thing I did try was the ALL-IN ONE-ROOTING KIT BY Abosutex3.

Is it the radio?

Recovery img not loaded?

Any help would be great. If not, I'll just toss it. I would like to see if I can fix it.

Thanks

Curious as to why it takes so long to grab my service connection when booting up.

Im on At&t, if that matters, but has anyone else noticed a long wait from bootup to being able to make a call?

From the time I see the lockscreen(at bootup) it takes over a minute to grab AT&T.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MotoMudder77:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DangerPanda:
Hi all,

I've had my x10a for more than a month now, running 2.1 global and everything seems great. However, there is one thing that kind of bothers me. With the stock screen protector installed, I kind of feel that i can't swipe on the screen smoothly, lots of friction going on and the responsiveness isn't as great. This especially annoys me when I play Fruit Ninja, comparing with my ipod touch first gen. There is a noticeable delay when I swipe across the screen on my x10.

I'm wondering, will the sensitivity increase by a bit? ( im not looking for iphone4 sensitivity here, just wondering if it would increase after I install an alternative protector )

Do you guys suggest that I remove the stock protector and install a third party screen protector?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dk2000zx:
maybe clean your screen cuz u have too much grease/dirt on it? or maybe use a better quality screen protector?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DangerPanda:
Thanks for your input but I always keep my cellphone clean. and the whole point of this thread is asking whether using a different screen protector than the stock will help so that does not really answer my question.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rockjock007:
do you have the uber thick one on your handset? that is the one I have and its pretty sensitive. I would think a thiner one would be more sensitive
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dalamak:
What kind of screen protector comes stock, all I have ever got on any phone was the cheap shipping plastic which is suppose to be removed, although I do see dorks walking around with it...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awmilton:
I took the stock screen protectors off and it's the worst. I've never had a touch screen work so bad. The only reason I haven't installed another is because the phone is defective, and I have to wait on rogers to get the replacement.

IMO if you want to take the stock screen protectors off, put a high quality one on right after. Also, I've been using the phone with no screen protector for about 2 months and I haven't scratched the screen, which is pretty impressive.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FelipeRRM:
Yeah, I've removed the thin plastic that came with it, but it seems there's something more by looking at it's edges. Tried to remove it but wasn't successful in doing so...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DangerPanda:
The X10 actually comes with a stock screen protector unlike other phones.

Haha no it's not the huge piece of tape you are talking about :P

awmilton, by worst, do you mean that the stock screen protector is worst?

Or the screen under it is the worst you've seen?

Can anyone tell me how's the screen's performance without protector compared to the screen with protector on it?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reptile64:
X10 actually comes with the worst capacitive screen I've ever seen! Even without the protector the responsiveness is poor and most of the times it's hard to unlock when receiving a call!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dk2000zx:
That might just be your phone's problem.. mine is just like my ipid touch...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awmilton:
DangerPanda

The screen under the stock screen protector is the worst. And I'm referring to touch sensitivity, the images displayed by the x10 are quite nice.

So to answer your question, the screen's performance, for me, was worse after removing the stock screen protector. I've heard rumors that there are actually 2 stock screen protectors shipped on the phone. I'm nervous to start picking at the edges again, but if it's anything like the potential "outer" screen protector it's there but hard to see and difficult to take off.

Does anyone know if there are actually two screen protectors applied by sony before shipping?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jmercy09:
Wow...I didn't even know it came with a screen protector lol. Well I'm removing it because it collects too much smudge/
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DangerPanda:
Ahh that's a bummer. Thanks for sharing though, I'll probably just leave the protector on then.

Please let us know how you feel about the screen after you've removed it :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0tah:
there's is already a "screen protector" pre-applied on the x10. it's another kind of screen protector which i forgotten the term for it..and inside the box there is also a cheapo screen protector..so if u had use the cheapo screen protector..u are having 2 screen protector on ur x10.

anyway, the "screen protector" can actually be taken off,required abit of skill though. i had heard others removing it and comment tat it is much much more responsive.

but in my opinion i would not have taken it off,it was supposed to give more protection for our phone..surely SE dont put it there for no reason..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaostimmy:
All that bad reaction especially in games has nothing to do with the screen, it's all about performance! 3D games with the x10 are horrible and mostly unplayable, you gonna feel if you try an Samsung galaxy!

Sony set the maximum fps that could be reached to 32.. which is in my eyes not smooth..

So for games you need another phone...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maritamor:
hehe i take on the protector that come in the box...so i have two.

But i will leave the one from se on even if i put on the new one.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k1018277:
Mine is from the UK and I didn't see one on my phone or in the box apart from the one on the screen that you are meant to take off.

I find that the screen does not respond well if you have sweaty fingers or even when there a drop of water on it but other than that, it is fine for me.

I got a screen protector from Stealth Guard now and it is very easy to apply. Now it works even with sweaty fingers and rain on it. This protector may not be for everyone though as my mates have trouble using it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shooi:
Yes, I don't think UK phones have a screen protector on, unless it's really difficult to see and remove...

Can anyone post any photos of the one that comes with the phone?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxo87:
Yeah it's almost invisible.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ooinaru:
I have removed both protectors that were on the screen. The only negative point is that its more exposed to scratches, nothing that a new thinner protector wont cure :) the sensitivity is a little better I guess but I think SE's bloatware kinda screws up the phones performance anyhow... Bottom line is that the phones screen is sensitive enough but the software is too slow, although I havent tried the 2.2 custom rom yet to verify this :)

Edit: Nor have I tried to uninstall the most resource demanding apps like timescape etc.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geraerb:
I just wanted to say the following.

I removed the original screen protector from my X10 a while ago and I regret it ever since. I have not found any other protector (cheap or expensive) that is better that the original one.

So think twice before removing it !!

And for the people that walk around without any protection, also keep in mind that this does not only protect you're display against scratches but also against shattering. So hopefully you will never drop you're phone accidentally. ;-)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imir:
I hate my screen after removing the stock protector. My hands tend to be wet every now and then, and its impossible to use the phone without constantly whipping my fingers due to unresponsiveness. Didn't have any problems before removing the protector.:(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eXodd:
I removed the screen protector that came with the phone 2 or 3 weeks after getting my X10 at its launch and i've never looked back. I really like how smooth it feels and i only have 2 tiny little scratches, but those come from the phone falling off of my hand and lending right on the screen (on a marble floor). The impact made the back cover and the battery fly but screen was still fine. There's no other scratch on my screen so i havent felt the need to put another screen protector on it.

Another thing i hated about the screen protector is how it would accumulate fingerprints.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayman1986:
Uk ones do have a screen protector fitted, like some have already said, its incredibly hard to see, best way to check is:

Put phone flat on a table, I find best thing to use is a safety pin, and stab very slowly in a horizontal angle on corner next to hard buttons and you will see a little bit rise, careful not to damage case.

If you manage to catch the edge of screen protector then raise pin upwards.

It is a fairly hard screen protector compared to conventional ones and is stuck with a very hard adhesive. Also as it is factory fitted, it blends in perfectly with screen edges.

Like me and many others, you probably put your own screen protector on top and like me wondered why screen was so rubbish.
