After installing to OS 1.8.6 (in order to solve the [German roaming issue][1]) I’m back at square one, yay! Again, after switching on my phone the WiFi symbol will stay grey until I download some app from the Play Store.
I noticed something though: Although the WiFi symbol turns blue after installing some app, when entering ##426## in the dialer like advocated in [this thread][2], I do not receive something along the lines of “device is connected to mtalk.google.com:5228” (which it did after the problem had solved itself), but it tells me:
“DeviceID: […]
Not connected
ReconnectManager: next reconnect attempt in […]
Last network state notification: 0/UNKNOWN, time: […]
active network type: -1
Type missmatch between polled and callback:
active network type (polled): 1
active network state (polled): DISCONNECTED
Connected: […]
Network status: ON Previous Network status: OFF”
Again: the WiFi symbol is blue.
Can anyone make sense of this…?
