Hi all.
I am having some trouble with my a501 and ics rom's. Does not matter what from I use or how many times I wipe data or format system and so on I still can not get a connection to Google servers. When I try to setup my account it says that it can not establish a reliable connection.
If I try to sign into the YouTube app it just says that it times out.
I can still browse the internet fine just no Google apps.
I can however connect to the hotspot on my phone and it will work. So I think it maybe something to do with my router but I have no idea what as any hc rom works just fine.
I am currently using Thor v126 I think I have also tried light speed and flexreaper. Think that's how you spell them. Also tried static IP.
Any ideas on what to try would be great.

It has been a while thought I would ask again.
I have narrowed it down. It is definitely my router. Have tried some friends now and it is all good.
And it is just Google apps. You tube, Gmail, play store. Internet works fine. Using it right now.

Can you try to use some other DNS servers like GoogleDNS 8.8.8.8 or maybe OpenDNS.
Or even with your current ISP's DNS can you check whether you can resolve addresses like play.google.com
Also try to check if any proxy settings are in use.
I have tried Google DNS servers but no go.
Internet works fine. I can go to the play store on the internet find the app and tell it to download to the device but it won't download.
Once I get a connection where the signal bars turn blue it downloads.
Also I am not using any proxy.

Open up port 5228 on TCP and Udp that is the port all of the Google Apps use.

I have now tried this and still no go. Wireless symbol will not turn blue.
Update.
I was able to get this to work by running the tab through a pptp vpn. As soon as I disconnect the vpn I the symbol turns grey again.

I had this same issue a few months back, but I was on a Honeycomb rom (forgot which one). I could browse the web on the browser just fine but couldn't log into my google account or access any gapps. I remember my device was having trouble being detected on my pc at that point too. I think I did a complete format on the system memory and my sd card (it wasn't being detected either). After that I re-installed the rom and everything just started working fine, was able to log into google and such after that.

Hey everyone,
I've tried all of the tethering apps (usb/wifi) and none seem to give my laptop my legend's 3g data connection. I'm running CM7 (new stable version ) and i've been trying to use the built in hotspot to no avail. I can connect fine, even with WPA2 security, and the laptop connects fine (win7), and even shows full bars on the wifi icon in the bottom right of my taskbar, which says "Internet Access" when my mouse hovers over it.
The problem is, whenever I fire up chrome on my laptop, I get a page that says stuff like "Access denied", "authorization required", "You may need to sign in", and just gives no internet.
At first, I thought that it could be my carrier's fault (SFR France), that they don't want me tethering my phone's connection (I have a contract with unlimited data). The weird thing is, I can actually use gmail on my laptop! Yes, fully load new messages as they come, look through my archived messages, trash, spam, everything. Not even offline messages, it's really connected. So why can I access gmail on my laptop but nothing else? Could it be something to do with https connection to gmail or something like that? My phone's 3g works great, and my laptop has no troubles connecting to my home wifi. I've scoured XDA and google, and never figured it all out.
Anyways, thanks for reading!
Michael
Troubleshooting 101:
- first, please try another laptop.
if the other laptop works, then your current laptop has issues.
My bad, I meant to include in my first post that i've gotten the same result with 3 different laptops.
Have you tried pdanet app? That's what I use and it works wonderfully.

yeah man that was one of the first ones i tried. no go for me, same issue (not connection, but internet access).
When I try to open a page, my phone shows that it starts to download data (with the arrows lighting up and the "H" for HSDPA in the status bar). But then stops and my browser says nope.
tried changing DNS, for instance to googles own (8.8.8.8) on the laptop?

How do I change the DNS on my laptop? Don't I need to use cmd for that?
And an interesting new development. Hopefully someone smarter than me understands this:
I've now tried 4 different sites that fully work! The thing is, they're all https sites, which all the other one i tried weren't. Just to let you know, the 4 confirmed funtional sites are:
gmail
google docs
dropbox
android market (in pc browser version, not on my phone)
So its GOT to have something to do with the https...
Any ideas?
Thanks

CM 7.0 does not require Wifi hotspot software. Check your wireless settings, you just need to turn it on.

He meant you should use the built-in WiFi hot spot in CM7, but you said you already did so in the first post...
about your problem, can you browse http (not https) websites in your phone's browser?

Absolutely. I've not run into any problems viewing any webpage on my phone, http or https, both on 3g and wifi (except for flash not really working, but that's beside the point).

Well, I have Windows XP and I don't have experience with Windows 7, but I remember that since Vista the network connections can be set as Home connection or Public (or something like that).
It's a wild guess but maybe the problem with browsing to HTTP websites has something to do with these network settings in Windows 7...
Try to compare the settings in the Home Wifi connection in your laptop vs the Mobile Wifie connection in your laptop, maybe some settings are different between the two.

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately that doesn't change anything. I definitely know what you're talking about, and everytine I connect to a new wifi network I always select home as the network type, so that my browsing isn't restricted. Hence I did the same here, and even tried the public option, but no effect.

hey there!
did u try the troubleshooting option in windows? did it give u any errors?
did u try wired tethering via your usb-cable?

Yep I tried usb tethering, same deal. Windows troubleshooting "couldn't identify the problem". It's gotta be something either on my carrier's side, my phone's side, or my laptops side that is restricting hotspot access to http sites.
Try to use another browser app.
I ever had this problem on chrome, so i use firefox and it's working now.

No good, same results.
We have a vibrant and a captivate.. When connected via wifi at home, the market and gmail will not connect, but both phones access the internet just fine otherwise.. They connect fine to the market and gmail using 2G or 3G, or other wifi networks..
Can anyone let me know what settings I might adjust on the router to allow connections to gmail or the market on these phones?
Strange thing is I have exactly the same problem, but this only started yesterday. The days before I was able to download several apps via market over wifi, but as of yesterday I can not even see the home screen when on wifi, no problems when on 3G. Tried opening port 5228 TCP and UDP as suggested in an older thread, but that did not work. Something changed at Google?
Update: problem went away by itself 2 days later.
I9000 stock 2.3.3
We have 3 android phones- all with the same problem.. Router is a Netgear WNR2000v3.
Edit-Reset router and the problem continues...
Check the firewall router
There is no firewall A's far A's I know. Just a wireless DSL and a router, and I have not configured any firewall...I reset the router to factory settings and it still won't work....

Try some other wifi area. Is the problem same or not. Maybe it's good to delete APN from settings and let it configure again.
have you tried paying you're cable bill?
seriously.. the phones all connect via other wifi networks just fine. They connect to this router just fine as well.. All internet connectivity is great except anything to do with google's apps.. youtube, maps, gmail, market.. none will work, but google.com on the browser works fine.
I had this problem 2 days ago. I have searched the web a lot for this problem. Now I found 3 solutions that you may wanna try.
1. Clear cache and reset to factory. Don't skip the sign in on google account. Sign in immediately! (had not worked for me though!)
2. Check your firewall settings. Especially, I used my laptop as a hotspot source with virtual wifi router(ht_tp://ww_w.virtualwifirouter.com/). I have tried connectify and virtual router, but they had problems on my laptop, while VWR is simple and effective! (I still couldn't connect to market and youtube at that moment though! Very very frustrated!)
3. I read someone said he tried to set the parameters of his mobile network manually, and it worked for him. I didn't expect much on this method but did give it a try. OMG! It worked! What's worth to notice is that I found that the instruction provided on my operator's website (Orange.fr) is actually a little bit different from the settings the phone automatically loaded.
3.
Hope it works for you guys!
I had same problem but reset of router helped...
You know what, I think it's the operator or google's dirty trick. For no obvious reason, I am blocked out of market again with wifi. I can surf on porn sites with wifi but no luck on market and google's stuff!

One more thing to add: Use static IP address for your wifi connection! Mine was not stable with automatic address!

Try to forward the ports needed for google, 5228 i think, that helped my cappy a little bit, try clearing all your networks, see if that helps. Google around for captivate wifi problems, hundreds of threads with lots of solutions.

I did try forwarded the ports for one of the phone, problem is there are three.. And port forwarding didn't work, neither did resetting the router, or resetting it to defaults, and they all had a static ip...Still no good..
If familiar with wireshark, try setting up on a computer, connecting to market with phone and see what u get. Maybe packets being blocked, hard to say.
Hello everyone, I really need a help here.
I was on a MIUI GB ROM and bought a wifi router Tplink WR74ON. After a few days I could not access google.com, bing.com, ask.com... and YT behaved strangely. But I could access czech domains and "anything.google.com", which leads to google.com/anything, so no help. Oh and the Play store had no connection. Google.cz works until I perform a search... then No connection !instantly again.Yahoo and a lot of smaller sites work. I tried stock browser and Opera mobile.
So I flashed MIUI Scotland 4.0.4 and after a few hours the problem is here again. Restart of anything does not help, on notebook there is no problem and the router is set out of the box, no special settings of any kind. It pings google.com with no problem.
If anyone has any idea.... thank you.
And it seems that I can connect to google via IP address...
Huh solved... apparently there was a DNS problem, I had to bypass the router and set public DNS.
Nice of you to give us the solution .

Acer A501 - not rooted. Using either browser (chrome or dolphin) can't get to a search site. I can get to microsoft.com so I know the browsers are working but neither will access the search engines.
I can get to Google Play and my email works fine.
Any suggestion??

Have you tried to do it using Wifi connection? Or 3g only?
Maybe your provider is blocking something. Try different provider/wifi network.
my suspicion is that Google and Yahoo are trying to offer to use IPv6 and your connection can't handle it.

I don't think that's the issue as my internet connection provider doesn't provide IPv6 yet and my tab connects to google using IPv4 and the fact that the DNS query for google.com returns both IP4 and IP6 addresses is not an issue.
Of course it could be the other way around. RogerCurrier's provider may support IPv6 but there can be some connectivity issues between both AS (authonomous systems) networks over IPv6. But still I don't believe that this is really an issue in this case.
Thanks for your suggestions..
I think i am getting somewhere, previously I have been using the wireless connection. Turned off the router and using 3gl I can connect to Google etc. So it seems that the problem is with the wireless connection.
Turned the router off for an hour, rebooted the Android- No difference, still can't connect to Google etc, and other connections seem slow. Have another pc using XP and it connects to Google no problem using the same router.
Checked connection with the following report: Status connected, security WPA/WPA2 PSK, Signal strength Excellent, link speed 65Mpbs, IPAddress 10.1.1.
Are there any other settings I should be aware of?
To find out which device is the source of the problem (tablet or router) it would be best if you could try another wifi connection (for example in your friend's house or some hot spot). That would show if the problem is only when you connecting to your or to any wifi connection.
Yes, I was coming to that conclusion, will try the library tomorrow. Thanks, will keep you informed.

Just checked the Amstrad in the local library. It connected to Google no problems so the problem is with the router. It looks like i will have to try another forum. Thanks everyone for their help. Long live the Android.
Rog:fingers-crossed:

Solved the problem after many hours of struggle. Made my network address static instead of dynamic. Made all the difference, quite happy now, hours to Google etc. Can't see why it should make a difference but it does.
Thanks for everyone's help and assistance.

ok guys so this might get a little confusing but please bear with me, ive just moved house and with i had to switch from virgin media to BT for my internet which got turned on to day but now i cant update or download any apps from the play store while connected to my internet (i have the new bt home hub 4 if that helps) but if i connect to my neighbors bt open zone all apps download and update just fine?? ive tried rebooting my rooter, removing my gmail account and re adding it and clearing the data from the market too, but it isnt just my t300 it my nexus 7 and my wifes nexus 7 and my htc sensation too, there all doing the same thing.
edit:i just checked my phone and google chrome updated but nothing else so i checked my tf300 and that will update chrome too but no others apps that ive tried will update or download?? any ideas what would be causing this
I think I would go to my neighbor and compare settings. What is a hub 4? Do you have a separate router or is it built-in to the hub 4? Since all your devices work with your neighbor's wifi it points to a router issue on your end. Can you browse the internet with Chrome? Have you tried WPA/WPA2/PSK or no encryption on the router (don't even bother with WEP).
home hub 4 is a router and modem you get from bt when you use there internet, but the internet works perfect for browsing and downloading but just not from the play store and its set up as wpa/wpa2 i might try removing the encryption see if that helps
