We are facing this same error since past 10 hours:

W/System.err: java.io.IOException: Timed out waiting for response from server
W/System.err:     at android.location.Geocoder.getFromLocation(Geocoder.java:136)

First noted this issue around 15h00 GMT today.

Same here with cordova google map plugin.

Facing this error for last few hours in my newly built app, it was working fine yesterday

Till yesterday the whole thing was wrking nd suddenly its broken. stuck with this, nw had to chnge the logic to use web api 

Unable connect to Geocoder java.io.IOException: Timed out waiting for response from server at android.location.Geocoder.getFromLocation(Geocoder.java:136) at LocationAddress$1.run(LocationAddress.java:32)

 i gave the same issue.
i all the time get : 
"Timed out waiting for response from server" 
and i need to submit my project next week. i hope they will fix it.

have the same issue 
want to be alerted when it is addressed and working

Can confirm this. /sub for updates.

It seems to be working now. Check it.

Can we get an update on this? It's almost 12 hours since the service is not functioning.

i still have that issue.

Yes, this is unacceptable. This is effectively blocking our users from purchasing through our app.

FYI to those following mapbox just released a drop in replacement for google's apparently unreliable geocoder:https://www.mapbox.com/blog/android-geocoder-library/

Hello, im still having this issue in my app, everything worked perfectly in last few days

I saw the service become intermittently responsive around 4am GMT 01/15/16. Then an apparent total service blackout until about 6pm GMT 01/15/16, and now it seems to intermittently responsive again.

Hong kong, Geocoder working now! 

We're having the timeout issue as well. It's intermittent, but extremely high fail rate. And to make it worse, when geocoder.getFromLocation fails (after about 5 seconds), the app says it's unresponsive and suggests to the user to close it down. Our users are hitting this almost immediately after opening the app. (This is in spite of having getFromLocation on a bg thread, btw.)

working in India now

Also seems to be fixed in our app as well.

In Poland still not working.

In VietNam, it has not been working since yesterday, still not working now.

Any update on this? This is causing major issues in out app 

#18 It should not give ANR if you are calling it from the background thread. Also I would recommend not to completely depend on the built in geocoder. Some devices doesn't come with the geocoder implementation, so you should rather use geocoder rest api to be safer. I hope you do check Geocoder.isPresent() before making any geocoding calls.

thanks for your reply, but did google resolved this issue that the built in gecodeing should not give a time out? 

Nope, still not working for me.

any word from google on this somewhere? 

We believe that this is now fixed. If you are still seeing issues, please clarify the approximate % of requests that are failing, and the name of the app, if you're willing to post that here.

We will leave this ticket open for another day or so.

For me its still not working correctly, same problem..
