[Q] Google search "can't reach Google at the moment" help!! - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I have a sprint galaxy s4 and am running team octos KitKat 4.4.2 ROM latest version and Google search keeps telling me "can't reach Google at the moment" what can I do to fix this?

Grab your phone and throw it on the floor, then reboot. If that doesn't work next you will want to lighten it on fire with lighter fluid.jk
From a Google search it seems to be a somewhat common issue where people say it will start working on its own or got it to work after putting the phone in airplane mode or rebooting the phone.

I reboot it and it works for a couple of minutes and then i get a pop-up randomly saying Google search has stopped working?

Some Aldo said it had to do with chrome beta. Do you have that installed?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Yes I do but that's the only browser I use

Hi. Every time I try to access the Google play store via chrome to check the availability of devices it kicks me through to the store apply on my phone. No device buying there! Any idea how to stop this please?

you might try seeing if it's set as a “default" in your app settongs

Ah thanks that did it. New to Android. Just cleared defaults. Thanks again

FYI you might still not be able to buy from the phone. I tried doing that and I got stuck at the buy button. I would tap on it but nothing would happen.
Ok thanks Ryan

Play store not working

Is anyone else having a problem with play store not working? All I get is a screen that says "no connection".
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
Might just want to go into the application manager, clear data, force stop, and try using it again. That usually fixes it for me :thumbup:

I've done that, uninstalled it, reinstalled, updated.... Nothing I can think of works.

Working fine here... You sure you're connected to 3/4g, Wifi? Maybe in a dead spot?
No, that's not it. All other data apps work. Good connection all around.

Watch On S4 problem

All the sudden Watch On app is turning itself on and showing in the notifications area. I turn it off(tell it not to) but when I restart it's back. What happened? Fix?
Thanks.

Check your settings and disable the "show remote in notifications"
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
Thanks, but that's what I have tried 6 times now. It automatically puts it back on restart.
Please help.

I came here and was just about to ask the same question. I could not figure out why this thing was always on in the notifications and status bar!
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using xda app-developers app
That is weird because I use my watch on app all the time. I disabled the notification from settings once and it stayed true. Are you running a custom ROM? I'm on ShoStock v2.0.

Not rooted. All stock.

Same here. Started happening a couple days ago. Every restart its in my notifications. I'm running mint jelly rom.

I am running SHOstock 2 and it happens to me too.
I reported it to samsung, you should too,
in the Settings near the bottom
Send feedback or get help
Report this faulty app Please!!!!
fix
Unless Samsung has updated the app behind the scenes.
This seems to have fixed the issue:
Under settings go into your applications
go to Samsung Watchon and hit the clear button,
Yes, you will have to re-setup your TV\Cable,
but the checkbox does not reset now.
I emailed them about the issue. You can report bugs from the app. I suggest everyone do the same

Anyone else having lag or slow XDA app ?

Starting to really irritate me, but whether it's the free version or paid version of XDA forum app it's been extremely slow or fails to connect numerous times a day. When this is happening I can verify a good connection by surfing on the browser or other Internet apps.
I used to have a beta version of tapa talk 2 app that I loved !! Unfortunately one of the many times of flashing and messing with my HTC rebound I wiped internal and lost it. I have searched many times for it again and have never found it even though it was a free app. I Don't like the updated tapa talk app.
Yes, I've had the same problem with the app.

Has anybody received this security update? And if so what did you do? Should I just accept it or cancel. Btw I'm rooted mja stock rom and kernel.

I think he meant nag. As in nagging popups
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Ah, so it's not going to really change anything. I hit cancel. Now the nag is gone.. haha didn't really mind the nag just didn't want it change anything to my device.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Anytime I would connect to wifi I would get that popup. I cancelled it at first but I cant watch any videos from my device. For example youtube will say "cant connect to server" or a video on facebook "cannot be played" If I switch back to using mobile network they play fine, so out of annoyance I clicked the update option and it doesn't nag me when I connect to wifi but I still can watch any videos. Any suggestions ?
