Is it just me or can the Epic not download market apps...

while attached to WiFi? With my Moment, I could stay connected to my wireless and download/install just fine. With my Epic, I've noticed that it will not download anything from the market until I turn WiFi off and get on 3G.
I thought I may have been misremembering, but I tried again with my old Moment as well as my daughters' and they all can DL just fine on WiFi.
I don't have 4G to test with so I don't know how that behaves with the market.
Any commiseration or thoughts?

Mine downloads apps over wi-fi... it's pretty much the only way I've installed anything. (I just installed a couple things right now that way.)

Hrm. Odd. Perhaps it's because of an app I have installed. I tried through AppBrain and Market apps and they both do nothing until I turn off wifi.
Thanks. This will help. At least I can tell it may be application related.

I have problems where the phone doesn't start downloading right away - 3G or WiFi. Sometimes, restarting the market app and/or the phone will help. However, this occurrence seems to be completely at random.

If it was me, I'd check to make sure you're broadcasting SSID on your router. For some reason, at least this is the way it is for me and I would be really baffled if it wasn't happening to everyone else as well, these android devices (I have an EVO and a GT), have a problem with connecting without it being able to see the SSID broadcast. All of my other devices (laptops, desktops, etc...) have absolutely no problems either way (broadcasting SSID or otherwise) connecting to my WiFi setup. Just the adndroid devices.

I had same problem not sure how i fixed it. But i reflashed everything like 1st time
I think it will b the modem file.
BUT check your wireless setting first

Phone to Tablet Internet

Just found an awesome APP in the market called Pdanet Tablet you install it on your phone then on your tablet and use bluetooth to get internet to your tablet via your android phone!!!!
It works pretty well on my Epic to my Transformer!
No Root needed (This will be for those of us who have not hacked our phones to send off Wifi already.)

Not working on my tab :\
Edit: I fixed it. reboot helped.

Awesome find, thanks! It's not quite working consistently for me, but I was hoping the PdaNet dev would make a version just like this. I'm sure he'll get it working reliably soon enough...

tethering off my nexus s, 2.3 hotspot w00t.

Anyone get this to work on Droid X, 2.3?

An update: after I installed this app, my TF Internet connectivity was completely hosed. It might be coincidental, although I doubt it. Essentially, I lost the ability to connect to a number of services via wifi, even after I uninstalled the app. Couldn't connect to Google properties, Tapatalk couldn't connect, etc. Absolutely miserable.
Only way to fix it was to do a factory reset. Multiple reboots and reconfigs of wifi settings did nothing.
Moral: be careful with this app.

I have not installed it yet in my tablet.
But I just read it from the market and they said you should remove the proxy setting after using it, otherwise the internet will not work anymore.
Not sure if they meant you will have to remove the proxy setting everytime you finished using it. That will be a hassle if we need to switch between wifi and BT every time.

works for me bluetooth tethering to my Droid Incredible. Havent tried it longer than 30 mins so I havent experienced any disconnects yet.
You do have to reset the proxy every time you use the app (set it to use it, disable it when your done). If you dont, wifi wont connect anymore (at least for me).
It is a little bit of a hassle, but i can live with it. At least the app gives you a shortcut to quickly change the setting.

Are you getting 4G speed off your Epic? I'm using wifi tether right now and only getting 3G speeds even if 4G is enabled, what kind of speeds are you getting?

That was probably my problem, thanks for pointing it out. Wish I'd seen this before doing the factory reset...

It's. Giving me a bad signal error
I'm on 3.1 and my phone(Droid 2) runs leaked gingerbread

Not sure why you need an app. I wifi tether with my Nexus S and it works fine. Just have 2gb package from ATT. They don't seem to care.

I got it installed, and everything went smoothly except I have no internet access via browser, or gmail.
Otherwise, this looks like a good app, easy to use.

I tried this PDANet for Tablet. The first beta release was buggy and there was a lot of disconnects with some debugging prompts.
Then I saw they updated it several days ago.
After updating it, its still not a smooth experience.
Got it connected to the phone, launch the browser and I could browse the web, but after 2-3 web pages, then it will stop working.
Email does not seem to work for me. Both GMail client and the native Email client, none works for me. Google Map seems to work.
But again, the connection dropped very frequently.

Hi,
Does anyone know of a solution for the TF101 when the phone you want to tether to is not an android device. I am still using my trusty HTC HD2, and it's WiFi hotspot is "ad hoc" and not seen by the TF, and its bluetooth creates a PAN, and rudely tells me that the TF needs a NAP.
Maybe I can use the "windows mobile version of PdaNet on the phone with the android tablet PdaNet client on the TF??

Wifi hot spot on G2x works perfect and I get 4g speed will post screen shot when I figure out how..
G2x power

Any way with stock ROM??

[Q] Android Store Problems - First Time Android User

The Iconia is my first Android device. I decided to go with it over the iPad since I just couldn't justify buying something that felt like a huge version of my phone.
With that being said I have issues with the market. I keep getting load errors when searching/pulling up an app to read the description. Is this an issue with the android market or an issue with my device?
I also have issues with the stock browser but I am going to try Dolphin to see if it helps.

What kind of error?
If it's load error and it gives you options to Retry or Cancel then your Wifi is not connected or losing connection.

That is the issue I'm having. Would the wifi issue be related to the tablet? I have no issues on my notebook and iphone.

i've had problems with some wireless routers and my iconia. make sure you have updated firmware for your router. it's a quick and easy fix if it works. also try wep instead of wpa. lowered encryption will sometimes clear up an issue with compatibility.

I'll look into that. My router is pretty old and I have never done squat with it.

I updated my firmware on my router and so far tonight I haven't had the market freeze or have any errors. I do have another question and that is why doesn't my apps show up under installed in the market? I also have two installed apps that are listed as not installed in the market,

Wifi problem on 3.1

I've just stumbled upon an interesting problem.
My tablet couldn't connect on ANY wifi network unless I entered the IP manually (I have checked on my router an my phone using it as a wifi hotspot). DHCP just didn't work and the tablet was stuck at "obtaining IP adress". The odd thing is that even the bars that show the network strength went from 5 full bars to 1 bar.
It was odd since wifi was on and it worked fine until I charged my tablet. I didn't do anything in between and reset didn't help. What worked in the end was deleting the dhcpd-wlan0.lease under /data/misc/dhcp.
Could anyone point me to the problem or an error that caused this because I'm a little afraid that it wasn't just a one time thing and that it could happen again.
Edit: Oh yeah I almost forgot. My router was acting up (my PC that is connected via cable was losing internet connection). Could it be that it was the router that messed up dhcpd-wlan0.lease and broke my Iconia?

oh, that happen to me. I reset factory and all came back....
I hope that not a problem will happen again....
Maybe a clue.
I went to work with the tablet, connected to the internet who have a different IP 192.168.2.1 and 192.168.1.1
Maybe that screw the files because my other tablet didn't move from home and didn't get the problem.

I'll write a script in Tasker to remove the data periodically if it happens again but I hope that it won't.
I don't like doing factory resets because that literally means a day of work fixing my tablet to my standards again.

i'm having the same issue... have a massive wifi network at work and the access point is 10 feet away and the signal jumps around and will not connect

Just delete the file I've listed and it will work if you're experiencing the same problem as me.

that did it!!!
Thanks

this happen to me too .factory reset for me .....hope never happen in future

my wifi stopped working after i updated to 3.1 but all i did was settings -- wireless and networks and removed my wireless settings and added again as new..and everything started working

permission issues on dhcp file...
Most probably the root cause is a permission issues on that particular file after upgrade... Should not happen anymore in the future.

I don't think that's the case. It happened to me again after I've installed Acer phone disabler. Again deleting the file worked but I was able to recreate it whenever I had an unclean shutdown of the tablet.
Permissions were ok. I've checked. Besides that wouldn't explain wifi working normally after update and then not working the next hour (I didn't even touch the tablet in the meantime).

same thing here. Nothing worked except a full wipe. I wonder where this is coming from?

I'm testing and it seems that the most probable cause is an unclean shutdown.
I was able to recreate it whenever I've used Acer phone disabler app.
Does anyone else use this app so that we can narrow it down?

guy it happen again please try a solution. how can i make a downgrade? where can i find the file to delete?what app i have to use to find it? astro is ok?

I've written everything in my post on page 1. The filename (dhcpd-wlan0.lease) and location (data/misc/dhcp/).

Yes but i can't find the ile with astro...uff reset again....

Use root explorer. I've also experienced the error so I'm moving to a new rom (was using the leaked 3.1 rom).

does anyone know if any of the other custom roms fixes this issue?
im using the leaked acer rom in stock form and used it to upgrade from my stock 3.0.1 rom (Australian version)

But i have to root the tablet before to use root explorer?
Does exist a program with no root access to that file?
edit ok i rooted my tab but i can't find the file to delete but maybe it create when wifi will fail .....i have just to wait thank's everybody for now...
