Just wanted to see if anyone else was having an issue where after a manual 2.3.4 update the Nexus S will regularly "go white" (lose google server connection) and then reconnect throughout the day more than normal?
It's getting annoying not having my emails pushed on time and don't know if I need to reflash the 2.3.3 radio then let the OTA do its thing.
THanks!
I have the same symptom.
However, mine started since 2.3.3
For some reason, I used to think was related to me logging in Google Chrome
web browser with the same account as my phone uses, but I don't think that
was really the cause. ( I'm not talking about just gmail website log in, I'm talking
about literally the sync of Google Chrome web browser with my gmail account that
I use on my phone.)
Even after the update to 2.3.4, its stilll the same.
Random loss of google server connection and remaining in white for brief time.
I did factory reset few times just to see if it'd fix, but no luck, yet.
I've been having this issue too ever since I got on 2.3.4. It doesn't seem to happen when I'm on wifi though. I got my update over the air too, if that matters.

It's been happening to me for a while as well. Even back in 2.3.3 when I was on CM7 and OEM. I seriously think it's a problem on Google's side and they really need to address it because it keeps logging me off of Gtalk which is annoying.
I'm having the same problem since April 14, I've tried everything flashing stock 2.3.1-2-3-4, CM7, changing Apn setting, changing my sim card, factory resets and nothing works.
This is definitely coming from Google's side, please post in the google help forums to get the word out to google, this is a serious problem.

myself have noticed this since 2.3.4 although I think it's google end not the rom itself.
don't like it because the more often it happens... the more your battery is used...
hope it's not our carriers...

There's a thread on this in the help forums but since I'm a n00b i can't post the link here. Search for the help thread titled "Nexus S Google connection on & off "
Thanks! Let's get this fixed.
Four months ago this thread was created. Still not a word from Google.
If you go to Google's help forum here: http://www.google.vu/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=7c7a962fd3ae87e2&hl=en
You can see that the last response from anyone at Google was from 2 months back. This issue need to be fixed, but it looks like Google could care less. Maybe if we get the word out to Android Central and other Android blogs, or even Gizmodo or Engadget Google will actually take notice and try to fix this.
mine was related to my carrier... fixed it though
might be the same for you?
I had that problem, but was fixed when google released a server update months ago, never had a disconnect since.

anything you did specifically yesterday? install an app. do an update?
also has anyone tried factory resetting their phone?
I got my Airave a few days ago and I am constantly disconnected from Google's servers unless I am on wifi. The stupid thing about that is my Airave connects directly to my modem before the router. This is telling me it must be a carrier thing.
I'm seeing something similar but it has to do with switching between 3g and wifi. The green doesn't come in for like 3 to 4 minutes. If I launch gtalk it sits there at logging in and nothing happens.

I'm willing to conclude based on the widespread nature of this issue that it's an issue on Google's end that has recently been affecting a larger number of people.
I've never had this issue before.. and recently it's started. In fact, I even have seen a few FC's (force closes) of the Google Apps process which I had never seen before. I'm on stock 2.3.4 BTW.
Hello all,
I have spent the last hour or two experimenting with various ways of wirelessly transferring files from my 64 GB S3 to the Nexus 7.
I have managed to get the Nexus 7 and Galaxy S3 to connect via Wi-Fi direct, but I have been unable to get a file to successfully transfer.
When I attempt to send a file from one device to the other using "share via" => "wifi-direct“ from various file managers, the upload shows up in the notification bar but eventually reports that it failed.
Have any of you found the secret combination to making this work properly?

Btw how did you connect via wifi direct?
On the N7 ... "Settings" => "WiFi" => upper right menu (three dots) => "WiFi Direct"
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Questions go in the Q&A section
Have the same problem as OP. If I WiFi Direct connect my S3 to my Wife's S3 and run BubbleUPnP on one them the other can see it in the built in media player, equally if I run BubbleUPnP on both then I can stream and render in both directions. If I connect either to the Nexus 7 then nothing shows up in BubbleUPnP.
Strangely the S3 has a WiFi Direct symbol in the notification area when connected but the Nexus shows nothing you have to go into WiFi settings and enter the WiFi Direct screen to see you are connected, Is that normal on working Nexus 7 to something WiFi Direct connections?
Another point to note is that NFC file sending has not worked S3 to Nexus they see each other and the Touch to Beam screen appears but the Nexus sends nothing when I try Nexus to S3 and the S3 says its sent but nothing appears on the Nexus when sent in the opposite direction.
I have no other devices as a tie breaker to see which isn't doing as it should and even if I did how do I fix it or report it to the non WiFi direct vendor and hop they release an update.
Any one got any tips for streaming video S3 to Nexus with no WiFi router about?
Snowdan.
For those that fall fail of the idea this may work but they are doing it wrong some follow up.
It seems that the WiFi Direct function exists in Jelly Bean and has the API calls available but the standard operating system does not support doing anything with them. Samsung are the ones that have made the S3 support sending and receiving on WiFi Direct as part of their S Beam and I guess a knock on effect is that BubbleUPnP worked for me too and the Video/Gallery/Music players have a WiFi direct option.
A Gnex thread on the issue explaining a bit more is here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1368128&page=10
Good news is it may just be a matter of time until Google/CM/Custom ROM or 3rd party apps add the functionality we were hoping for.
Snowdan.
+1 for being able to connect the S3 to the nexus 7 but not being able to transfer anything. Tried to send a picture in the gallery but it eventually failed.
if you want to connect from android device to android device for transmitting media, check this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.budius.WiFiShoot
this was developed by yours truly, and I developed it exactly because I noticed there was nothing out there for WiFi Direct
I tested it between Nexus 7, Galaxy Nexus, Asus TF300 and Galaxy SII (stock ICS) and all worked fine.
The most problematic of those were the Galaxy Nexus that not always want to connect, but between N7-GalaxySII was flawless.
At the moment the app just works for photo and video but I'll be expanding more, if you guys fancy helping spreading the word about it, I'm really looking forward to see the downloads explode on it.

the app is using the standard Android WiFi Direct feature that should be available in most phones starting with ICS.
The filter on which devices should or not work will be done automatically by the Google play only enabling installation on devices with WiFi Direct feature.
Said that, absolutely yes, it should work just as smooth on the GS3 as it did on the GS2, N7, GN and Asus TF300 I had here for testing.
I've already had report on working nicely on the EVO LTE, too.
and if you try the S3, please, come back to the thread and let me know the results.
I have to thank you for this I was sad the feature was not built in as it is for S3 to S3.
I cam confirm Nexus 7 to S3 and S3 to Nexus 7 work for both pictures and video with a good transfer speed. Worth pointing out can only be done via share in the gallery app at the moment as pointed in app play store description. A well working beta I look forward to the pro version.

It works great between the s3 and the sg7. If I'd have seen your app earlier, I'd never have bothered with the otg cable I bought.
FYI, I have sent files to and from my Nexus 7 and sgs2 using Bluetooth a number of times. Just browse to the file you want to send, long press and choose "Send" then the Bluetooth logo. I use Solid Explorer as my file manager. This is handy for small files, but larger files take forever. I will definitely check out the app above, too.

My Nexus 7 and S3 don't play wel together.
What does work is using the S3 as a hotspot and then run Samba on the Galaxy S3 (Root required)
Samba takes a while to activate.. but after it does you can browse your phone using the Nexus 7 and copy stuff... no limitations on specific file extensions either.
If I want to send a picture to an S3 with wifishoot, does the s3 need to have it installed as well? Or will their sbeam functionality work for that? I would just like to be able to do a quick picture transfer to an s3 without telling the other party to download an app.

You need the WiFi Shoot on both devices.
S-Beam uses Samsung proprietary protocol (plus it uses NFC for pairing) and it will only work with other Samsung / S-beam devices.
Sorry buidus, I've tried using your app between my galaxy galaxy s3 and nexus 7, tranformer prime and galaxy galaxy with only fail.
Fortunately there are other wifidirect apps out there now. The below works without fail. Tested on gs3, nexus 7, transformer prime, galaxy nexus
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.wifidirect
and using nfc instad of wifi direct?are there differences?sorry for this stupid question,but i send yesterday 2 photos and a kernel from my gnex and n7 via nfc and paired devices with the back of the cover..all works without problems,and was fast!
I'd like to install an anti theft app on my n7. I've got Where's My Droid on my phone, but the thing is, the nexus doesn't have a data signal to access its GPS location at the drop of a dime.... it would only be able to be tracked if it is currently connected to WiFi, right? If it wasn't connected to WiFi then there would be no way to track it that I can think of. Anyways, what are some good anti theft apps that you guys are using?
Another question, has any used Tablet Talk, or so,etching similar? Its an app that sync your phone and tablet together which allows text messages to be sent front your nexus, but it uses your mobile number. Are there any other apps out there like this? Would really love to hear about some experiences with Tablet Talk or similar apps so I know what I should purchase. Thanks in advance.

What is the point... besides a password how would a tracking app help. They will just wipe the tab anyway doesn't even need to be booted. If it's password protected its not going to connect to unknown networks anyway. So either way you look at it you lose it its gone. If you left it open counting on them to connect it good luck...lol if they are smart enough to steal it I'm pretty sure they understand how to do a factory reset.

You can install Cerberus as a system app and it will withstand a factory reset. However, if they decide to flash a new ROM you are screwed. But you are pretty much right about once you lose it is is gone since it has to be connected to WiFi to send back data.

Yea, phones are a different thing... not only do you have the opportunity to track but also they are tagged to a network. But a WiFi only tab... even with an autowifi app.. the chances of both apps running at the time stolen and connected to WiFi are really slim. Besides the fact that you couldn't go busting in a residence just because you knew it was in there......

Assuming that your tab has some sort of pin/pattern lock/face unlock protection and your Wi-Fi is always on, then there shouldn't be much problem for the auto-Wi-Fi app to connect and enable access for Cerberus. Mind you that wefi pro DOES start on boot.

I have Avast installed on my Nexus 7. Don't care for the AV, but it does have built in anti theft, where if your N7 is rooted, it can bury itself deep in the system and survive hard-resets. Not sure how well it does, and hope never to find out, but it looks alright. There are probably similar apps out there.
Avast here too. AV does seem to slow some things down some, I guess I'll turn it off. The "locate" feature works well with Google Voice number. Turns on your GPS then sends location to GV (on a PC). Only time I hope to need it is if I leave my Nexus somewhere and I need to remember where (hoping it wasn't stolen). I'm a bit paranoid since I recently had a phone stolen with no security software on it.

Passwords aren't going to get your tablet back. IMO, the biggest risk of losing a tablet is accidently leaving it someplace. I have a business card taped to the protective case of my Nexus and have the app "Android Lost" installed. If my tablet is found by an honest person, then they will call the number on the business card and all is well. If it is found by someone not so honest, the odds of them being sophisticated enough to know how to "wipe the tab" are slim to none. It is more likely that if they are stopped by a passwork, they'll just ditch the tab in the trash or try to "get a reward" by calling me. Without a password, they'll probably at least use it long enough to run down the battery. In that case I at least have a chance of locating it via "Android Lost".
edit: If I were a student, using my tablet "on campus" everyday, I might reconsider the risk. The "campus environment" probably is more conducive to actually having a tablet stolen.

Even if that were true, so what?
You are missing the point.
Okay. I'm at a conference and and look away and someone grabs my Nexus 7. I was using WiFi via my phone since I never use WiFi from unsecure sources. They run away and hours later turn it on. Password is required. They don't know it and after X number attempts the tablet is now locked.
The tablet is not going to connect to any WiFi near them because it is setup to not allow unsecure WiFi connections.
How is cerebrus going to help me find my Tablet ??? It won't, it can't. If they can't use the Tablet (its locked out now right), it doesn't matter if Cerebrus is on it or not.
On a device with 3G, We are talking about something totally different. and I use Android Lost for that. Works great and I know a couple people who found their phones with it, including one that didn't even have it installed when it was "acquired".... they had it installed via the play store and then took control of the device.
The tablet without 3G is not the same beast as it requires working WiFi to do anything. Can't phone home or do anything without it.
The best protection is my data and backing it up OFF the tablet on a regular basis so that if I break my tablet or it gets stolen, I can quickly rebuild a new one with my apps and data in a short time period.
Hello,
Its my first post (been watching the forum for a while), so i would like to say hello.
This month (as asus claims) the nexus 7 is arriving in my country. If it doesn't i'm willing to buy one in the UK.
Because of that i would like to ask a question to the owners of that device:
is changing the MAC address possible as stated in this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385577
Would anyone be willing to check that?
Or is there any other method i don't know?
And confirm that when you change the mac it appears in the router settings (connects to the network with the changed one)?
I would like to know that because WiFi in my school is limited to two devices, checked by MAC. I have already registered a phone and a laptop.
Greetings,
mlawnikPL
You could change the Mac address.

If you read through all the post on the topic you linked to you... you will notice that it is a Hit or Miss type of thing.
Meaning you might get it working, or you might not. Or you might get it working once, or the next time you try it will fail.
The method listed on that Topic is not a permanent solutions.. once your tablet/phone is reset/powered off the MAC will go back to the original.
Since its the hardware (the WiFi Card inside the device) that has the MAC address store in it.. and it clearly states in the that Topic you are "Spoofing" a MAC address.
Try something like Connectify ( http://www.connectify.me/ ) - you will need a Windows7 laptop/PC though.
Then you can connect all the devices you want..
Or un-register your phone, and register the tablet.. More than likely you will use the Table more often anyways, and your phone has a 3G/4G connection already.
Or wait and see if the 3G Nexus 7 hits your country... Or Order one from a US (or whatever country they are released to) and have it shipped to you.

Or un-register your phone, and register the tablet.. More than likely you will use the Table more often anyways, and your phone has a 3G/4G connection already.
Yeah, but it's expensive(the connection).
Or wait and see if the 3G Nexus 7 hits your country... Or Order one from a US (or whatever country they are released to) and have it shipped to you.

Will do, as said in the OP.
Anyway, thanks for your answer. Anyone willing to help and try out that method for me?

This is an interesting scenario and yes it works
Keep in mind that you can't have two devices with same MAC address on the same LAN
With the MAC filter policy, you could either clone your either of the devices you have or, use a Bluetooth connectivity between your android phone and nexus 7 or some form of tethering

Yes, I forgot the Bluetooth option... connect to phone to your schools WiFi, the use a Bluetooth tether app to share connections...
Like hayodee said, spoofing a MAC won't allow you to connect all three device...
My question, why are you not trying this "spoofing" yourself..
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I am not trying this method because I don't have my N7 yet.
And I would not connect all three devices at once but one day I might take just phone and the other a tablet and a laptop, so then I would spoof the phone Mac...

I know that many people have written about this problem, but no suggestions work. Maybe not enough info?
Device: Glxy (SPH-L900) Note II
OS: JB 4.1.2
ROM: Irrelevant, since this prob has existed from Day 1, even before Rooting. Plus, my current ROM is still a variation of the Factory ROM.
PROBLEM:
I cannot play YouTube videos when connected to my LAN at home (via WiFi).
I can play then on anyone else's WiFi. And I can play them fine at home, if it's thru 3G.
ROUTER: EA4500
I tried Port Forwarding. I even tried setting up a DMZ for my phone's Router.
MORE INFO:
My Glxy (P7510) Tab 10.1" plays them fine.
My wife's Glxy (SPH-L710) S3 also plays them fine.
I tried un/reinstalling the YouTube app, a different YouTube app, etc..
I tried all of the "delete the cache/data" sugfestions, etc.. All of the normal, intelligent suggestions and even some of the not so intelligent suggestions, like:
"Make yourself breakfast and flip your eggs 3 times while singing the theme song from the 'Friends' show" and "Spin 3 times outside, while doing a rain dance while holding your phone in one hand and a tuna melt in the other". And of course, my personal favorite, "If you climb to the top of Mt Ararat, there's this bush and...". Man, that was one heck of a climb! But sadly, still no solution.
Anyway, I'm getting the ever popular (paraphrased), "Cannot connect to server. Tap to Retry.".
I have tapped numerous times, but no help.
It does not matter if I am using the YouTube app, or trying to view a YouTube video in a web page, or whatever. The only difference is that many times when I try to view one thru a web page, instead of getting the error message, it will immediately display a few tiny still images (all at once in the small video screen, it does not play any video).
This is at the point where I am beginning to pull my hair out (it's been almost a year now)!
PLEASE HELP ME, PEOPLE!!!
Has anyone heard of any solution that works? I know some of them have worked for a minority of people with this problem, but not for me.
Is anything fixing this yet? I have scoured XDA and the Internet and nothing has worked.
Thank you everyone for taking the time out of your day to read my message.
And just FYI, I started a new thread in this more general thread, because the threads that I again saw mentioning this issue (I have posted in a couple of them before), don't really get any attention any more, being so old.
I even (previously) started a new thread in a more specific area, but still no help (I appreciated the attempts).
So please, if anyone is upset with me for posting this here, please understand that I have tried repeatedly. I just finally I guess, come to the conclusion that maybe being so specific about where I posted it was hurting the cause and maybe, as long as I stay within the ”device boundaries", that I just might do better.
Thanks again and I truly very much look forward to some responses!

You're not running a firewall are you?

Good question! Thanks for asking! I should have included that in my post.
To answer your question though, no, I am not using a firewall of any kind.

Not sure, especially since you said web version also doesn't work. All I know is that the 'Media Server' system service requires net access to render video in YouTube. I've had to slap that around on occasion and check it wasn't blocked by iptables.
The only things I can suggest are trying a traceroute to the YouTube video servers (can't remember exactly but could be s.ytimg.com). If you haven't already, reinstalling the YouTube app as well. You basically want to figure out if its a network connectivity issue (ie. WiFi between router and phone) or to do with the ROM/app then go from there.
Thanks for your post. And I'm not trying to be rude when I say this, but I already stated that I uninstalled/reinstalled YouTube.
As for the Router, like I said, my other Galaxy devices work fine with it, plus I even set up a DMZ, which should act as a "totally unblocked passthrough" and still, the same thing happens.
You're right of course, that there has to be something going on between this device and my router, since it doesn't do this with any other router I've tried.
Remember, it works fine in other locations.
But it also has to be something to do with the Note II, because my wife's S3 and Glxy Tab work fine!
But here's the weird thing!!!
When my friend who has a Note II comes over and links to my WiFi, he can no longer use YouTube! Aaaggghhh!!! <lol!>

Change your router? Change the channel on your router.

That's a good idea, but I have changed the channel a couple of times. As for changing the router, I can't do that, unless I want to go backwards.
I was going to try a 3rd party firmware, but unfortunately, none of the 3 major ones support the LinkSys EA4500.

Can I assume that you have tried updating to the latest firmware of your router and modem?
Then can I also assume that you have also tried to do a factory reset of your router and modem?

My sister has the same problem with her LG phone. She cannot connect to local wife. Actually, she connects, but browser doesn't load, youtube, play store ect, do not load! Her husband connects alright with his phone though. So, I am interested to a solution too!

Let's try something productive. Make yourself familiar with the Linux shell, root your phone, install shark for root, then, connect you your phone using ssh or adv shell, locate the tcpdump binary, capture traffic on port 80 and try to watch a video.
Upload the cap file.
