I've had this problem before, not with the Nexus One. Probably a ROM thing? because I haven't seen that problem lately when using Eclairs @@ While your downloads are frozen, launch GTalk and try to change your status. It will probably say disconnected. Launch it again to connect to GTalk, and then the downloads should resume

I can not even signin to Gtalk, it said " can not connect to server"
The Gmail working OK.

Yeah that's the problem. Launch it again. At least it should re-connect.
If it still doesn't connect, I guess the issue is server-side then.

can signin from the desktop,
do you know how to restart the Nexus One? Should I hold on the power button to restart the phone?
Holding the button can turn the phone off. Haha
I try again after it restart

still can not sign in to Gtalk.
I need go home now, thanks

still not working. does anyone else have this problem?

Do you have an android data plan with T-Mobile? If not have them add it and it should start working.

No, I use Wifi to connect to the internet.
It's the unlock nexus one.

I have a very similar issue. I was able to connect to my WPA2 network once when I first tried, but now I am unable to connect to any wireless network. The Wifi radio is on. When I go to the Wi-Fi settings window under Settings and bring up the menu to select Scan, I don't see any networks display even though I know there are multiple around (and I can see them from my laptop).
Are you still able to connect to your network and view others when you scan? What do you think could be my problem and is there anything else I can try?

yes, it can find and connect to WiFi.
the internet is working, but cannot download.

try turn wifi off, then turn it on again.
sometimes this will work

I also wonder if one could download from Nexus market place applications that was purchased from a non-Nexus market place without being charged again.

Paid apps are linked to the Google account, not the phone. You can download them again.
I ran into two problems:
1. Some paid apps may not be listed in the market for the N1. (a2b is one example.)
2. Some apps may use other licensing or activation techniques that are device-locked. I was unable to activate CoPilot Live due to this. I haven't checked with ALK to see what their policy is on device replacement.

Was there any solution to this ? I just got a Desire and also cannot connect to gtalk or download from market.

I have the same problem on my HTC Hero with market place.Can search and add download but always shows "Starting download" nothing happens other than that.Was working a few hours a go but well doesn't anylonger..All other net apps work such as web browsering messaging and email.
help..
regards

This is a known issue, it's been there at least since Android 1.5. Can't believe Google still didn't fix it. It probably happens more frequently if you switch between 3G network and WLAN, and a lot of users with unlimited data plans don't use WiFi at all. The fix is simple, start Google Talk, press menu, log out, and start Google Talk again.
cuitao, where are you from? What provider are you using (for the Internet connection backing the WLAN)?

Since your only having the trouble on WiFi, have you checked that the ports are open on your router &/or firewall?
Port 5228 for the market - open it, but don't forward it if you have DHCP enabled otherwise if you get a new IP address next time you connect the problem will be back again

I had the same problem. It turned out to be a problem with the wifi router I was connected to. I read in the google help forum that you need to be able to open up a particular port to be able to successfully download apps. Sorry, I don't remember the port. I solved it by just connecting to a different access point (I was at work).

Thanks i thought that was probablly something like that

I think that it is T.C.P. port 5228; you need to allow outbound traffic.

[Q] Can't log in to Google?

I've got Android 2.1 running on my HD2, works pretty well aside from the occasional app crash. However, not matter what I try I can't log into my Google account. I enter my (correct) username and password, then it sits for a few minutes and comes back with "can't establish a reliable data connection to the server". Data seems to be working, I can browse the web and the maps app works ok, it just won't connect my Google account. I know we're in highly-experimental territory here, but does anyone know of a way to fix this?

I had the same problem. Make sure background data is turned on, that should fix it.

Hmm, background data was already selected. I tried turning it off and back on again, still can't log into Google. Any other suggestions?

Connect via wifi the first time while you set up and sync. After that you should be good to go on your normal data connection.

I've had this problem on DesireHD or Evo ROMs, but never on a Desire ROM.

I can't connect to Wifi either. It gets as far as "Obtaining IP address", sits there for a few minutes then reports "Unsuccessful". I can connect when booted into Winmo, so it's not a problem with the AP/password.
Maybe I'm just using the wrong Android release, can anyone suggest a good one (with download link if possible?) Thanks!

I have very much enjoyed Bangsters ROMs. They are based on Cyanogen and everything works, including accurate camera flash. If stock android is your thing then go with this.

Ah, downloaded and installed the latest Bangster, everything seems to be working properly. Thanks for all the help!

Semi-protected Wi-Fi - Android 4.3

Hi!
I've update my I9505 to Stock 4.3, with root. I've a problem. I use semi-protected WiFI (like at University) that works as follows : the network is technically open to everyone, free, but for navigate\download\anything, you need to open your browser and enter your credentials.
Android 4.2.2 on my I9505 connected automatically to this network, so I opened a browser and put my credentials.
Since I upgraded to 4.3, my phone connects to the network, then disconnects after a few seconds saying that you must authenticate yourself, then I have to enter settings (making it pointless to activate the wifi with the toggle in the notification bar), i've to reconnect to the network manually, wait about 10 \ 15 seconds, then I can open the stock browser and connect from there (I have to connect when it says so). This even though I do not use the toggle, when I activate the wifi in the settings, it connects, disconnects, and I have to reconnect again.
Now, every time I connect I lose a minute when in fact it took a few seconds before, there is no way to return to the previous behavior? Even with root solution. To read an e-mail I have to wait a minute for the connection...
thanks
Edit: sorry, maybe I had to put this thread on Q&A section, but now I can't move...

Yeah I hate it, the same thing happens on the London Underground wifi. It used to just connect then have the notification telling you you had to log in, which you could then click on. What makes it extra doubly annoying, is that the Underground wifi actually does work for everything apart from HTTP traffic before signing in, so you could just not sign in the whole journey and still get email/whatsapp, but not webpages or facebook etc. Now that it disconnects you I don't get anything till I manually connect it.

To get back to the old behaviour go into Settings->Connections->Wifi - > MENU button ->Advanced and disable "auto network switch"
I found I had to do this to get such networks to work ok, otherwise the wifi network was deactivated

I am also facing this problem. Till now no solution. The "Auto Network Switch" seems to be valid for Mobile Data only...

[Q] Phone is slow loading content while on WiFi. Just started a week ago.

In the last week I have noticed that when I click on say a website or a article from a app that it takes like 30 seconds to start to load that page on my home WiFi, this never happened before, usually it's instant. This does not happen when I'm on 4g at all. I have checked my WiFi with my laptop, xbox one, and a tablet and no problem there. This is getting annoying does anyone have any solutions for this or maybe something that was changed that shouldn't have been? Thanks

Remove your WiFi credentials from the phone, reboot and add them again. ( go to settings, WiFi . click your network and say "forget" ).
It is also a good idea to power cycle your home WiFi router as well (if you haven't done so already).
Hope it helps!

Thanks I'll give it a try.
