[Q] Google Goggles not working

[key2gb]

Hi,

I am running CM7 on my Incredible S. I have not been able to get Google Goggles to work when using data (only works on wifi). It analyzes the photo forever and then it says "cannot connect" and asks me to save it for later or cancel. Has anyone else experienced this? I see other threads on the matter but most have been resolved.

Thanks

i assume the bandwidth requirement is high for running google goggles.
probably the reason why it is working on wi-fi.
and this proves there could be no issue with the app itself.

are you on a 3g connection or 2g (edge/gprs)?

3G/H...rarely goes down to just "G"

Don't see why there should be a problem.
two suggestions:

1) try uninstalling & reinstalling the app from the market.
see if that helps.

2) i still feel it could be a bandwidth problem...
try downloading speedtest and check if you are getting the advertised speeds.
you should actually have a fair idea on this if you are able to stream music/videos without lag...

for anyone that may find this in the future - I upgraded my ROM to the CM 7.1 stable version that just came out and this issue is now resolved - goggles works fine on 3G (though it uses a hell of a LOT of battery)
