Hi I am new the blackstone world just bought it this week and im using T-mobile in US and im using the edge network but when i try to use the youtube app on the phone it onl works when the phone is connected to wifi any ideas on how to fix this i tried searching but didnt find anythin
maybe your network isnt strong enough where you live, you can try to set the settings from highest quality to fastest download.
how do i do that
could be a proxy setting as well. with at&t, HD users had to remove the proxy entry with a registry editor. once removed, youtube worked... don't know for sure that this will work for you since you're on T-Mobile, but it's worth a try. go here for instructions to remove proxy settings.
Hi. I had the same problem (I'm living in the UK but wih TMobile). TMobile set a restriction on YouTube & you had to provide proof of being over 18 - go in to your store & get them to life restricted access - or give them a ring! You'll need credit card details as proof of age.

maybe i am not using the search tool properly nor posting this in app section.
But anyone know any way to do so?
my xperia x10 is half dead already i would like to 3g tether to tablet for 3g uses.
I search the market for app, none of them seem to support it. Is there another method? I am not too great with this sort of things
would like a detail guide or explanation.
thank you.
p.s: also i would like to ask, is it possible to use rocket mobile 3g fingers from rogers (i live in canada) to obtain 3g? sorry i am not technical so no idea how these things goes.
I don't know anything about rocket mobile, but I just downloaded Quick Wifi Hotspot from the market yesterday and it worked fine while at the restaurant. I left the network open and named it my name and connected via the tablet with no issues. It's also free and that is helpful Hopefully it's compatible with whichever rom/android version you are using. I have an HD2 with an Android 2.3 ROM based on C7 (I think that's all the requisite info).
I have cheap zip cricket cell phone. I do love crickets service here in my area.thou some say its lame elsewhere.
Anyway I rooted my cell installed wireless tether.and when I turn it on my tablet or my notebook will connect automatically and its great for most things even tried Netflix yesterday. Pared with crickets unlimited plan for 50.00 a month.
Set wireless tether to Mac address security lots of people will try to connect.to use your internet.some just do it automatic ..
thank you, the reason i posted this is because my x10 still run on grandpa software (at least not 1.6) android 2.1.
Acer have an instruction on how to enable portable wi-fi option on phone and ad-hoc but 2.1 doesn't have that option yet.
since my phone is already half dead (thank to SE's crappy product), i don't know if i can root it and install custom rom before it brick or dead completely.
i will check out that method thanks.
Hi, I just got a brand new Xperia Play and am loving it so far, aside from one infuriating issue.
When I'm on WIFI I simply cannot download anything from the market, I've been messing with this for the past 2 hours, things I've tried:
Clearing app cache of several apps related to downloading
Toggling WIFI / 3G
Restarting phone
Updating to latest firmware
Reset to factory settings
Play with router wireless settings
Reinstall router firmware
The only thing that did something is clearing the cache of the download manager, after I did that I was able to install one thing from the market. But it only worked once, it's not working anymore.
I'm also unable to play youtube video's when using wifi.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? My phone is brand new, so it can't be something I did with it.
Also, up till today I had an HTC Magic, which did not have the problem on the same wireless network. It did have occasional "download starting" hiccups, but nothing like this.
Any advice?
Thanks!

Edit2: False alarm, still not working.. seems to come and go
You have the weirdest problem.. Did you check your router to see if it's generating enough ip addresses for all your wireless devices?
What is the distance between you and your router and what kind of router is it? I believe the play has a weaker wifi radio, so it might be dcing too often to stream and download.. Try standing closer to the router to see if there is a difference first.

I'm right next to the router and the web interface shows a full signal, so it can't be that. I can also see in the web interface that an ip address was assigned.
I've tried setting the phone as the DMZ and disabling the router firewall. No luck with that either.
I also tried upgrading my router firmware from Tomato to DD-WRT and doing a factory reset, but again .. no luck.
I'm running out of ideas, it seems the problem originates from Android and not my router, but I can't think of anything else I could try. Could it be an issue with the Android network in my location?
Omfg.. 3/4 hours later I finally got it, and this one wasn't suggested anywhere else so hopefully this will help some others in the future.
I had to go into wireless settings on my phone, click menu, go to advanced and then manually configure the network connection. Make sure your router has reserved an ip for you and use that one, otherwise you might end up trying to use one that is already in use.
After that it all seems to be working for me (so far). Fingers crossed that it won't stop working again.
Yea you couldn't find the answer anywhere else because it seemed like it was an isolated incident. Gratz for figuring it out though.

Next day, working fine in the morning. Couple hours later and it's back to getting stuck on "Downloading". Tried toggling static ip with no luck.
God this is incredibly annoying. I'm guessing it'll magically start working again at some point, and then stop working again later.
From what I've found through google this bug has been around since the very first version and not a single solution has been offered by google. Seriously this is ridiculous
Hi,
I'm having exactly the same issues.... Normal browsing, etc works fine on WIFI but market just wont work on WIFI.
I dont even see the device hitting my router when I try to download thru the market. Other network connections are seen by my router.
I wonder if it might be linked to the the fact that I'm running a UK rom on my device. When I'm using my data connection off Rogers, it actually does a RMNET to the British government... So we are seen as downloading from the UK.. Just an idea...
It's annoying as hell....
I was going to say download speedtest.net app when you can and see what it yields... but I see you've got it figured out. Nice!

Interesting, so you're saying that google somehow classifies us as UK users, which causes problems when switching to WIFI, which is not classified as a UK connection?
It would make sense, seeing as it seems to start working again after a while.. which could mean that whatever info google is caching on us is expired and it finally adopts the WIFI connection info.
Still, I have doubts about that.. I mean wouldn't a LOT more Rogers users be complaining about this?
The only persons that would be complaining are people like us running UK roms but our WIFI is coming from a canadian provider. In my case Videotron.
So when i<m using 3g data, i'm seen as coming from the UK because of the RMNET connection and when using WIFI i'm seen as Canadian... with a uk rom.
I've read that the market DOES have regions... might not be 100% correct on that but it might be part of my issue.
Mine BTW, never works anymore even after clearing cache, FC the market, etc...
lol i got the opposite problem i have trouble downloading stuff from the market using 3g but works perfect using wifi
not really an issue since im not an app whore
Its not a issue on play all phones has that. Simply log in to your Talk app then try again. (launch Gtalk app and login)
Thanks, but i had already tried that.
Reinstalled the UK rom yesterday, and even after a clean install market still doesnt work on WIFI even tho my WIFI works for browsing, accessing my computer thru RDP, etc.

This only works for some people.
My market has been working for a day now (I didn't do anything to fix it), I'm expecting it to stop working any moment. Fingers crossed.
Edit: Aaand there we go.. stopped working again. Sigh.
Got the same issue both on my Nexus S (Videotron) and (which is strange), on My Motorola Xoom Tablet which only has wifi, no 3g !!
Edit: If I connect my tablet thru my cell phone (wifi tethering) I have no problem with market
ok so me and mobidoy are both on Videotron...
Naatan I see you are in quebec... Videotron also?
Starting to believe it migh be an issue with them
hey
im in videotron too and since 4 days i cant watch youtube on youtube app and my download on market stay stuck in green bar!! i have a toshiba thrive android 3.1!!!!!
when i connect with a 3g router or on the wi fi in my city everything work again
so it clear that videotron is the problem!!!!
Had the same problems
First time hard reset fixed it.
Second time by magic, sorry. I was about to send the phone to repairs
I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
I've been having the exact same problem as you and can't seem to find a way to solve this. I just purchased a Galaxy Tab 10.1, WIFI only, and at home nothing will download from the Android market. It just gets stuck. Youtube videos also dont work via the app.I tried it out at a friends and everything worked flawlessly.
At home, I also have Videotron internet. I just called them, and tried to explain to their customer service but obviously they were quick to blame it on anything else they could. They said they did not block any ports either.
I read a thread about some vodafone users in the UK having a similar problem than us:
Edit: It wont let me post an external link because I'm a new user, but the post is on androidforums.com and is titled "ANDROID MARKET download/update problem via WiFi"
It seems their problem was fixed after calling Vodafone.
I'm also inclined to point fingers at Videotron since its odd we are all customers of theirs.
Just called Videotron technical support, they have an open ticket about it since yesterday morning and are actualy working on the issue !! There is hope !!
So i've been using wireless tether on my rooted Nexus S 4g for sprint, with stock rom, for a while now. It always worked fine, i could usually download at a stable 1.0MB/s. But recently, even before i updated to 2.3.7, i would start downloading something, and it would start at 1.0MB/s then work its way down all the way to around 10KB/s and stays there. I don't understand what happened, I didn't change or do anything different. Has anybody else been experiencing this problem? Does anyone know what the solution to this problem can be?
On a side note: If i use pdanet to USB tether, its totally fine.
i have not used it that much. when i do its just to use the web. not download anything. the highest ive seen my go is 6xx.xx kb.
have you been using the data plan when you tether? i was under the impession that it by pass the carrier. making it free.
i just got it to 1600kb, ill try downloading something later.
I recently traveled from Rio de Janeiro to Belo Horizonte and back to Rio. I was gone from Mar 30th to April 4th. I powered my home wireless router off as we were leaving. I traveled with my wife. We both have Nexus 4’s and Nexus 7’s (all the devices are stock). Both were working fine before we left on the trip and we both used them a lot while we were in Belo Horizonte. We mostly used wifi at a relative’s house while there and I occasionally used HSPA while we traveled around town. I also used HSPA as we traveled by bus to check our location as we traveled (both coming and going). I also downloaded several apps on wifi at a relative’s urging (local Brazilian apps from the Play Store).
Now the mystery begins…
When we arrived back home I powered my router (Linksys RA6500) back on. I was not able to go online (either with my browsers or any apps) with either my Nexus 7 or Nexus 4 (error 130 net::ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED). My wife had no problem at all with either of her devices. If I used my U.S. vpn I was able to use both devices normally. I searched this forum for an answer but was unable to find any answer. The next day I called Google Support and talked to probably the dumbest tech support person in the world. His only advice was to uninstall the programs I had installed while traveling (gee, I wish I had thought of that) which I had already done. I also cleared the data and cache from my three browsers. After many reboots without solving the problem I decided to do a factory reset on my Nexus 7. Not knowing any better I decided to let the Google restore the apps to my phone. Well it worked and I had internet access through wifi… for about 30 seconds. I tried several more times with the same results. I then did a reset and unchecked all the backup and restore options and at last was successful. I now have a fully functioning Nexus 7. I thought I would wait a day or so to do the same to the Nexus 4.
Now the mystery deepens…
The following day we went to lunch in Rio and while in the restaurant, I went to use my Nexus 4 and discovered that I was able to go online and use apps that required being online. I thought maybe it cured itself. When I got to my apt I was still unable to get online. My first thought was it must be my router (but, why does my wife’s phone and tablet work). I decided to do a factory reset on the router and manually do the setup instead of using the Linksys installation program. Still no luck. My Nexus 4 will not use my home wifi unless I’m using my vpn.
I am hoping that someone out there in XDA land will recognize what the problem is and help me solve my dilemma without having to reset the phone.
Any news yet?
By the way, can you still use other apps like email, youtube or facebook? I'm having quite a similar problem. See: http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/489087
