Error: Unable to connect #158

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Please answer the questions about build version and network, will save
developers a lot of time !

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Starting up Chrome to Phone
2. Select account to use. (I only have one.)
3. Press "Next" button to register the phone for Chrome.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect to see something along the lines of the phone being registered 
for the Chrome to Phone features. Instead I get the error message that it's 
"Unable to connect." I do have WiFi running and am able to browse the internet 
via a browser and get Gmail messages.

What version of the android, in Settings -> About phone -> Build number (
ex. FRFxx ) ? If less than FRF50 - see the FAQ.
Android 2.2
Build FRG01B

Is the phone using WiFi or mobile network when problem occurs ? If Wifi,
are you behind a firewall that blocks outgoing connections ?
WiFi and nothing else appears to be blocked by the Firewall so I do not think 
this is the issue.

Can you open "Gmail" application ? Do you see new messages without hitting
'refresh' ?
Yes.
Yes.

Can you open "Talk" application ? Do you see incoming chats ?
No. Will not let me sign in.
(Note: Do not often use this feature so I cannot say if this is "typical" for 
me or not.)

Please provide any additional information below.

Same exact issue. Tried with Wifi on and with Wifi off using the verizon 
network.  Refuses to connect to my Google account.  Gmail however works fine.

I ended up clearing the cache and doing a full wipe and reinstall of the OS and 
now it's working great.

A rather drastic requirement in order to get it to work I think. Definitely 
seems that something is off, but maybe it's just my phone.

I am having the same problem getting it to connect to my Gmail account. I tried 
it with WiFi and 3G and it just fails to connect. Need a solution since I know 
I'm not a Google Apps account!

I a also having the same problem.  I have both a google account and a google 
apps account and have tried with 3g and wifi, and the result is always the same 
(stuck on "connecting").  This means that the connection process isn't even 
getting far enough to realize that the google apps account is not supported (no 
error message).  I have a first generation Motorola Droid Running 2.2

I was having the same issue - I have Froyo 2.2 on a Moto Droid. I installed 
Chrome to Phone on my computer and then on my phone from the Market. I kept 
getting the "Unable to Connect"  error when trying to finish up the install on 
the phone app. 

Tried repeatedly on 3G and wifi both with no luck.

I finally turned my phone off for about 30 seconds, turned it back on and went 
to the Chrome to Phone app. It finished up everything perfectly and now is 
working great. 

Hope that will help somebody else too because I was getting very frustrated 
trying to find a fix.

Identical issue. Tried with Wifi on and with Wifi off using the Verizon 
network.  Refuses to connect to my Google account.  Gmail however works fine.

Also tried on different machine with fresh install of Chrome and Chrome to 
Phone extension.  Did not work.

MRex21Z, did you try re-booting your phone? That's what eventually worked for 
me.

I understand it's frustrating to get it to work, but it's also frustrating to 
try to reproduce it without enough information. I got an EVO as well, tried it 
on Nexus and Moto Droid - they all work for me. 

Please include more context. Is everyone using the 'official' Froyo builds ? 
Could you include the build number ? If it's a 'rooted' phone - can you include 
a link to the rom/flashing instructions ? 

It also helps to know what is the status of the connection - can you see a web 
page ? Can you open Google Talk and see the status of your friends ?

I can confirm this. I installed the Chrome extension, then I launched the 
Chrometophone app. The app. continually gave me an unable to connect error, so 
I rebooted the phone and it work perfectly. Thanks.

unable to connect in China  because of  chrometophone.appspot.com  has been

Hi,
 Sorry it too my so long to respond.  I am using a modded version of froyo 2.2.  My build number is "voles-userdebug 2.2 FRFxx 49593 test-keys", Kernel version is "2.6.32.9-P3Droid".  (yes it actually says FRFxx, there are no numbers there).  I am not sure if that is the information you were looking for.  I rooted my phone about a week or two after the root became available. So far no other programs have had any connectivity problems and all of the fixes mentioned above do not work for me.

I have the exact same issue, and I have tried rebooting and no luck.

I am using Motorola Droid, v. 2.2 , phone hasn't been messed with in any way. 
I've tried using both the Verizon network and my wifi. My connection is fine, 
and no other apps are complaining, but I keep seeing "Error: Unable to connect."

The first time I tried rebooting the phone froze. This may not be related, but 
on the other hand it has never happened before.

Duplicate of Issue #97

@17: in case it wasn't clear from the comments that refer to Verizon, many of 
us that had this problem were in the States. So it's not a duplicate of the 
"unable to connecting China" bug.

I finally got mine working, btw, on the third reboot.

I received the "Unable to connect" error many times on my Droid X with 2.2.  
Rebooted, tried again, and still received that error many times.  However, 
after the reboot, on the third or fourth try, it finally connected.

I noticed that my phone was often in "1X" data mode instead of "3G", so it 
might have been intermittent Verizon network trouble.

I also experienced this problem (in china) and can confirm that unblocking the 
appspot domain via a VPN fixed the problem. This should only fix it for people 
in countries/places where that domain is bocked such as China.

Same problem here using HTC ThunderBolt with GB 2.3.4 port.  
I have this same issue when using a stock rom as well.  So I can't say it is 
ROM related.
This has been an ongoing issue for me for the past month or so.
I really love this app and just want it to work.

through all the security settings and still I can not find anything to make it 
work.

works. No FCs or errors of any kind for anything. Nothing else appears to be 
wrong accept this app. Doesn't work over cellular or wifi. Reboot or 
reinstallation doesn't work either, and I am not creating a new account just

I'm also having this issue, OS: 2.3.4, talk works, gmail push works too, al 
other google services work ok, chrome to phone just stopped working about 03/06 
this year, prior to that it was flawless, it says at the bottom: Error: Unable 
to connect.
Ps: Tried another Google acc that is not my main acc and it connects! why does 
it refuse to work with mine?? I think the problem is in the app authentication 
or something, hope this gets fixed soon!

Occuring for me also on my new Sensation Tmo. Works fine on my old Nexus one

DroidX, using stock blur Froyo, stock blur Gingerbread, or CyanogenMod 7 
nightlies -- just as others have said: it used to work well, now it will not 
connect with my main @gmail.com account.  Switching to another account works.  
Since I FREQUENTLY flash&reinstall&reactivate I imagine there is a VERY long 
list of activations in Google's servers, as there have been in Market and 
Amazon, but unlike those, there's no place to delete old activations through 
Dashboard--could this be the problem?

Can anyone else confirm their second Google account works?

yeah it worked with a secondary account. my guess that its not clearing out old 
devices that are used with the app and that there might be a limit of how many 
it can have.  would be great if we could clear that data out.
