Some Apps Have No Internet

[ViViDboarder]

Ok. I know I'm connected to the internet because everything else works fine. Some apps, however, say that they have no internet connections. This happens on Wifi or Edge.

Currently the apps I'm having trouble with are:

• Weatherbug
• FML
• LifeCast

So this really sucks. Anyone else have this issue with their apps?

Do your apps that say this persistently not work or just work intermittently?

The National Public Radio app does something loosely similar -- about 2/3 of the time, on launch, it claims it has no internet connection. However, in that case, if one hits the play button in it to refresh it, it connects and starts playing anyway, without further complaint.

Maybe I've seen it with the Weather Channel app too, but much less frequently.

It does seem to be an app specific behavior, but I don't have any insight into why one app would think it is not connected to the internet and others wouldn't.

It's persistant. Every time I open any of them I get the error.

Weatherbug has no manual refresh for the weather, so I never get that updated.

FML says it's not connected and then after a little while it updates anyways.

Finally, LifeCast only gives me an error when trying to post. It says it can't reach the server but if I do it again it still doesn't connect.

So this is a jailbreaked iPhone (from your sig), right? What network does it use? Have you tried using a different APN for your network?

Still on AT&T. I never unlocked it.

Restore to 2.2.1 and see if that fixes the problem.

Yea. That's all Apple came up with too. Will I lose my jailbreak? I've never restored other than upgrading firmware. I guess it's not a big deal to throw it into recovery mode, use the firmware I made and then restore my settings.

Yes, you will lose your jailbreak and you might also lose your problem.

I found someone online who recommended resetting my network settings. I was hesitant at first, but I decided it's better than restoring my phone. I gave it a shot and it worked!

So if anyone is having this issue, reset your network settings before restoring your phone.
