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.

WMWifiRouter & xv6800

Has anyone on Verizon with a xv6800 gotten WMWifiRouter to work? I have tried and tried and still have no luck. I installed ICS like others have said and this has still not made it work. If anyone has a xv6800 and has WMWifiRouter working, please help me out with some directions. Thank you in advanced for your help.
Mod Edit: Moved from Titan Upgrading
I use it every day
So far you said that you installed ICS so that should be ok. Make sure you turn on your wifi before wifirouter, and you know it is right when the 3 simi circles stop flashing and stay lit and the message is 'connected to wifirouter ready'. If it is like that then it is working and the problem is that maybe the wifi on the other end needs to be told to look for ad-hoc connection, some will not see one by default. Ad-hoc is the mode it uses.
It says it is conected but also says it is searching for ICS and WLAN and it never connects.
make sure your WiFi switch is on
yep

That is what happens when the wifi is not working because it must bind with it. Go into your commanager and see what your wifi looks like and that the ad-hoc connection 'wifiminirouter' is there.
i was having the same problem. I uninstalled it, turned on the wifi switch then reinstalled it. I originally installed with the WiFi switch off and that apparently was the problem.
I got it. Thanks for your help everyone.
Okay, I have to ask since I haven't figured the program out. What does this program do? It allows a computer to connect to my phone via WiFi, while my phone is connected to the data network, thus giving my computer internet? I don't know.
Thats it exactly

You get a cookie ;-) and not only that but it doles out many ip addresses so anyone in range of your phone can share it's EVDO.
Sweet! I like cookies! This phone really is a magic phone.
I have to admit I was wondering if this was going to work.
I live in a 1x world up here in NW Arizona. Yesterday was a road trip to Vegas, Wife had the laptop and she surfed the net through the connection and then when we got to Vegas we hit EVDO and life was very good.
I think I am going to have to get a Amp with a good external antenna for better reception though.
But this brings up another possible situation as posted above others may intercept the wifi. But cruising down the road that should be a very remote hazard.
The only problem developed last night on the way home . It was searching for ICS like the switch was off. I verifed it was correct. Looked at settings and the wifi icon was missing in action. Soft reboot brought it back and life was good again.
Conflict with Exchange
I installed the program on my Verizon 6800. My phone puts out a signal, my computer recognizes it, gets an ip address and connects, but when I open internet explorer I get the "page cannot be displayed" error.
I do have my phone receiving push email from exchange server. I went into communications manager and turned that off, but still can't connect.
The wmwifirouter site mentions this problem, but I was wondering if anyone has had any success connecting?
Thanks!
do you have your wifi switched turned on BEFORE you open wmwifirouter? your computer will still connect even if the actual connection to the internet is not there. disconnect your computer from the network. close wmwifirouter (or just soft reset for good measure). turn on your wifi switch, then start wmwifirouter, then connect. if you're on a laptop, just shut off your wireless until wmwifirouter is connected.
Thanks for the quick response.
I followed your directions:
1. Soft Reset,
2. Turn on WiFi on phone,
3. Open wmwifirouter program,
4. Turned on wireless connection on computer.
Again, everything connects, but get the same IE error. When I select the wireless network in my office, my computer connects instantly.
In the wireless LAN settings on my phone, the configuration shows:
SSID: WMWifiRouter
Mode: Ad hoc
BSSID: 02-18-41-33-01-09
Tx Rate: Auto
Channel: 11
Signal Quality: Almost a full bar
This program would be absolutely awesome if I could get it to work!

Do you haveto run a custom ROM to use WMWiFiRouter or can you use Verizon's MR1?

I have WIFIRouter and love it. The only problem I have is after using it on my laptop, I have to delete the connection. If I do not the computers (Dell) wifi will only search for my phone, and will not connect to the router in my house until its gone.
I know this is not a phone issue, but a computer one, buut thought someone here might know.
Thanks
Reinstall with WiFi on - Reboot require
I was also able to get my xv6800 to work (using an iTouch) using the above suggestions. I uninstalled ICS and WMWiFi, reset the xv,and reinstalled ICS and then WMWifi "with the WiFi switch" on - thanks for the help!
I noticed that when I reinstalled ICS with the WiFi switch on, it said the changes would take effect after I restarted the xv, which it didn't do when I installed it with the WiFi switch off..
I also had to turn on the WEP encryption rather than "None" to get it to work, although that might have been fixed if I'd just reset the iTouch.

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.

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

SOLVED: wifi connected but no internet. Help

Hi guys I am having an anoying problem with my phone.
I connect my Wifi to and ad-hoc connections which works fine for all devices.
The connect is stable and almost 100% quality
The problem is that the phone doesn't have any data transfer, I can get online for but for only a few seconds like update Weather and open a page, then is like offline the Wifi stays connected.
I tried using both settings connects to internet and to work, I got the same problem.
Can please someone help, it must be a problem in the settings, I am new in WM phones
Have you checked if you need to put in a security code? Is signal strength ok? And sometimes you have to wait quite a while for the webpage to be downloaded.

I have WEP code inserted, the signal is very strong 90 to 100% I am really close to the source.
The pages open pretty fast but after some seconds it doesnt open anything neither Skype or Weather works but the connection stays on.
I even try static IP and still got the same issue, I wounder whats is the problem, Saturday I will connect it directly to router instead of an ad-hoc to see what the results may be.
I really need help with this... It is so anoying.
I do not understand, yesterday it worked all day, and today is not working only for a few seconds and the only thing I touch was trying to connect to a network in different place.
Does anyone have any idea? Any info could be useful
I think I just found problem. DNS It seems that the phone the last dns added. What I did now was to delete the dns numbers so the server may add it again. It is working again.

I'm sure your problem needs some helping, but you're posting in the wrong device forum for that. This is the Iolite section.
By the way, the original problem is solved already, so this is considered answered.

wifi cant download from android market

as the title said
im using office wifi
browsing are ok
but cant download
firewall thing? bug thing? any solution or fix?
Don't worry... its just the market having troubles. This happens quite often, especially on the eve of an update to android.
Just keep cancelling and installing or wait for it to settle down. Welcome to android!
Don't worry. My office WiFi also doesn't work for Android Marketplace. My home WiFi works though. Probably the corporate firewall blocks the access to some custom port required for Marketplace to work. On googling, I got a tip that; if your google talk app works, then probably you marketplace should also work.
Just try it on a WiFi with no restrictions and it should work fine. 3G should also work.
right, after the admin gave me full access, it worked
thanks to ftgg99 too for helping me finally choose this tab
What I noticed when that happens, if I tap the home key then open Google Talk and signout then sign back in... It starts downloading over wifi.
Just my observation.
I can confirm, it's the firewall. I was about 5 seconds away from a factory reset (that is all I had left to try), but then I found this thread.
I have a "failsafe" rule setup that allows all outbound traffic to go out regardless of port, on my wired and wireless subnets. Once I enabled it, all my downloads came down.
I always figured with my G1 that you had to be connected to Google Talk to download, but I also thought you needed to be over 3g. I now know wifi works, just open up the firewall some.

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

ya that was the first thing I checked, it was already off.
I am also facing this problem. Till now no solution. The "Auto Network Switch" seems to be valid for Mobile Data only...
