Google Maps & Email stopped working - Treo Forum

forumsviewer · 09-15-2008, 09:59 PM

So out of no where my Google Maps and Email have stopped working. i know that the data plan is still working because I can still browse the web.

When I try to scroll around or search a new location with Google Maps, it hangs for about 30 seconds and then says I need a data connection.

With EMAIL it says "connecting to IMAP" and then fails asking if the IMAP server is available.

It was working a few days ago... up until I had to clear out my cache several times from the 4mb limit of the internet browser.

Any suggestions? I have tried taking the battery out and putting it back in. Is there anyway to CLOSE Google Maps and the email so that maybe a restart of those apps will fix it?

Do you have a back up that you can restore? If not, delete Google Maps and then re download it by going to http://www.gmail.com/gmm from your Blazer. Same thing for versamail. Delete the account and then create a new one. See if that clears up your issue.

Who is your carrier? It sounds like they may be blocking network ports necessary for you to use these apps.

Using Sprint. I have a friend that has the same plan and it works fine on hers.

How would I delete Google Maps without a USB cord? I lost mine!
