For some reason, my Gmail does not sync or push when I am on Wifi (all Roms I have tried so far)
Is this normal? Sync is fine when on 3g
go into settings>applications, find gmail and clear app data. that might help.
I didn't quite cover the issue...I can sync, but push doesn't seem to work right. Has been a problem on almost every version of gmail

is it doing the thing where you have the "3 unread" at the top of your app, but they don't show up as readable, or what?
are you rooted? backup, do a factory reset and set up gmail and see if the issue persists. if it does, then restore and try something else, if it fixes it, then just start over from scratch.
that's strange that gmail doesn't work right on wifi. it works fine for me. i'm thinking its either something with your profile, or your device specifically.
did you try clearing app data like i said in my last post?
This has been a problem with every rom I have tried - I am rooted. Never had this problem on my Droid. Push works fine on 3g, but does not work on WiFi unless I do a manual sync. Very strange. I have tried clearing the data, cache, and everything inbetween. I don't think it is a phone issue since all of my other data works fine on WiFi. Tried 2.2, 2.2.1, and even reverted back to 2.1, all have the problem. My wifi is set to never sleep, so that is not it. Also, I don't have any data settings turned off. Guess that Gmail just does not like WiFi
Been on WiFi all evening with no issues. The fact that it happens on multiple phones with multiple roms makes me think its something wrong with your gmail profile or something like that.
I'd say call VZW but they're gonna want you on an approved OS, so prolly wanna have that OTA froyo Rom handy before you call.

Looks like this is a problem for others as well...

I am going to see if the stock email program also suffers from this
Finally...fixed it
I wiped data and made a new gmail profile. Now my main profile is another gmail account. Then I added my normal gmail. All syncing properly. I spent about 2 hours combing through my gmail profiles on the computer and don't see anything. Oh well, working now

I've had a problem with pushing over institutional wifis, like guest wifis in hospitals and the like. Otherwise its been fine.

There is definately an issue with the institutional wifi...today I used wifi on the guest account at work and although my phone showed constant connection, I was able to see the phone get dropped continuously. It seems like these types of networks drop connections that are dormant for a short period of time

I'm living on WiFi only at my hotel since weds, its an institution access, so you have to refresh the connection about every 24 hours via a redirect to a confirmation page. No issues with any of my data, especially gmail. But good luck sending/receiving texts! There is literally no service in my room, and in the lobby I get 1X with no bars. It's brutal

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!
Hey guys, I am facing a weird problem after updating an OTA released yesterday by HTC (2.2.1). My gmail app and market app is not working when on wifi. It works perfectly on Mobile data connection though (EDGE). I get a no connection error in gmail and network error in market app.
I have done the following but to no avail.
1. Soft reset and boot into safe mode.
2. Uninstalled task killer app.
3. Deleted all data for these apps and updated the gmail app and setup the account again.
I have not tried the hard reset as yet. Can anyone help me out please? TIA
Thats not good at all. Is your handset branded?
Hey Andy,
Thanks for replying although your reply does make me nervous :s. I am from India and we only get unbranded sets here. So to answer your question it is a unlocked unbranded phone running stock firmware.
By the way after I posted the question I did get these two apps working once for sometime but since then it's the same problem. I am starting to wonder whether it has to do something with the wifi although all the remaining apps are working fine and dandy.
Is the wifi access point owned by you? You could try turning it off and on again, that may help.
Have tried that. It is my home network that I am connecting to using a linksys wireless router.
UPDATE - I connected my phone using internet pass through i.e. sharing the internet through PC via the data cable and I still get the same error which leads me to believe some setting on the router provided by my ISP is causing this. Although what I fail to understand is that it was working fine till yesterday and nothing have been changed in the router setup recently.
Hmm... that's odd. Did your ISP supply your router? My ISP pushed a firmware update to my router about 8 months ago that broke pretty much everything wireless.
Is it just Gmail & Market that don't work over wifi? Does your browser and other apps work?
Yes indeed, my ISP provides a router which is then connected to my wireless router. The strange thing is everything else is pretty much working including gtalk.
If your router supports DMZ and you know how to set it up, you could try putting your DHD's IP into the DMZ to eliminate the possibility of your routers inbuilt firewall blocking Market & GMail.
Maybe a DNS problem? Ensure you have good ones... You can always test Google ones 8.8.8.8 and/or 8.8.4.4
Thanks for showing interest guys. I for some strange reason cannot access my router settings page. I will figure that out but the stranger things are happening with my apps. After a bit of tinkering I have found a behavior which stumps me.
These are the steps I follow:
1. Sign out from gtalk.
2. Go to manage applications and clear cache and data for gmail, market, download manager, Google backup transport, google partner setup and google services framework.
3. Restart phone.
After this my gmail app starts working on wifi but talk does not start anymore and market also throws an error before even accepting the terms. I uncheck and check the background data services and I am back to square one i.e. gmail stops syncing saying no connection, gtalk works as usual and market starts giving connection error (after accepting terms).
I seriously think now there's a serious flaw in the software and not something to do with my router settings.
Sorry for the long post. Thanks for reading.
Simillar problem appeared for me in Locations. I couldn't list country maps for preload on wifi without 3G. After turned on 3G, it listed the maps - turn off - and i could download with wifi.
So I replaced my old reliable WRT54GL router running Tomato firmware with a new Asus RT-N66U router with RMerlin's modified stock firmware, everything is working fine... The only odd issue is my Nexus 4 on Beanstalk talks to it and every thing works, except the Facebook app, about 50% of the time it just its there saying "updating" all the time, toggle off WiFi and it connects to mobile data and happily updates, toggle back and it fails, but everything else on the phone works fine (G+. Tapatalk, Hangouts, Play Store, Spotify, Youtube, etc). To make it even stranger, sometimes it works with no issues.
Any ideas, I know this might not be the most appropriate to ask, but I don't know where else to start.

It's an app related issue. Try clear cache and data of Facebook app then restart the app. You will have set up your account again once cache and data are cleared.

I was a little skeptical when I read this, but did it anyway, and it seems to have corrected the problem... Thanks!!!
Since my MM update, I have been having issues when connected to Wifi, either at work or at home. My Gmails are coming in delayed and sometimes not at all, and mainly when the device is asleep. I have checked all settings, nothing has changed. I have also made sure I forgot the net work and then set it back up, I have also done a FDR, still having the same issue. As soon as I switch over to Data from my mobile carrier, and do not have any issues. I have also made sure IPV6 is disable in my Router's as I read that somewhere.
Any suggestions, this is driving me crazy.
Looks like I'm not the only one having this issue, seems to be widespread

I have an up to date rooted 6P and I've noticed that when wifi is on, I'm not receiving notifications and sync is VERY slow. It'll look like the app in use is frozen. For example, while testing I would send an email to myself from another mail app to my gmail. The outgoing message would never send. As soon as I switch wifi off, it instantly sends. If Wifi is on, I won't get notifications, but as soon as I switch it off, I"m flooded with all of the ones I should have been getting.
I have other android phones laying around connected to my wifi and they get notifications, so I'm thinking it's something with the 6P? The only thing I've thought to change about my router is to put it into bridge mode because I'm using it with a U-Verse gateway, although if the router was the issue, you'd think my other devices would have problems as well.
I've googled the issue a lot and have only found posts from back in Nov-Feb about google apps/gmail specifically and it was something google pushed a fix for. This will be any app, gmail, hangouts, facebook messenger, slack, etc.
I appreciate any advice! Phone has been reset, router rebooted, etc already.
