Network Error?

[Cowchip]

Can anybody shed some light on why my EVO won't load apps in AppBrain? For instance, the program will start and I can sync with Appbrain, but when I select one of the apps to view it's market page it shows loading then finally an error pops up that says "Attention - A network error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen."

If I turn on wi-fi it works fine.

This problem happened once before a few days ago and then magically started working later so I chalked it up to a fluke.

With the wi-fi turned off I have network service as I can surf the net, etc. and the 3G indication shows activity.

Another app I noticed that isn't working right is Rainy Days. It will show the radar, but not the Google Map "underneath" unless I turn the wi-fi on. This has worked fine in the past as well.


I've done the usual cycle power and battery pull but to no avail.

Just found another one....the weather widget. I tried to manually refresh and got another error: Connection error - Sorry, but the connection dropped while your weather information was downloading."

It must be something local that's loco.

Google account stopped working on 3G - Page 2 - SprintUsers.com

same here, everything google on my phone is dead over 3G, web and everything else works. So don't do a factory reset it won't help.

Ahh, thanks. I was just doing some poking around on the internet myself to see if anybody else was experiencing issues.

Nah, wasn't going to go as far as a factory reset at this point.

yeah that's what sprint told me to do and then I couldn't sign back in. I hope they fix this fast. The work around I have developed is just uncheck all of the boxes in you google account/sync and then add your Gmail to the other email app that came on the phone. Then once or twice a day I just turn back on sync and then wifi and resync. Same goes for the market place just wait to check until your in a wifi area.

Just a question when did this start to happen for you? I went to bed Friday night and it worked fine Saturday morning I unplugged the phone and two hours later my battery was almost dead because it was trying to sync.

I was having this problem as well. After searching the net for hours and not finding any solution for this, I started messing with settings. I think I found the solution.....I did a PRL update on my phone...settings->system updates->Update PRL after I did this the market started working great, again. Hope this helps because nobody else has come up with a solution other than a phone wipe and restart and that sounds painful.

I believe I first noticed it sometime on Saturday, around mid-day. Not exactly positive of that though.

Today I tried to refresh the weather and it failed but I tried it again and it refreshed so I never thought anything of it.

Tonight, just before I posted, I wandered into the appbrain app to see what was happening and noticed the same issue I was having on Saturday but it didn't resolve itself as fast as it did then. Tried some other apps and figured something was up.

I also noticed my battery was draining faster than normal (if that's possible!) and was wondering what had changed. I had installed some new apps on Friday afternoon and was starting to question whether or not something was being overly aggressive with the juice.

Prl update was tried and didn't help for me. I'll try again, I've got nothing to lose.

Update, still a no go for me.

Maybe I was just lucky hope the problem doesn't come back....I also did a firmware update but it said none where found. Good luck I hope that was the problem if not I'm sure it will come back to get me.

I am also having this problem. No search, no google apps, no google sites within the browser.
