[FIXED] Urooted Bell SGS2. Market & Youtube app not downloading data using WiFi.

Hi everyone,
I just got my SGS2 from Bell today and I haven't been able to download any applications using my WiFi connection at home (every app stalls at "Downloading.." with the green striped bar). I can use the browser, and browse through the Market with no problems.
I've also noticed that the YouTube app does not stream any videos over WiFi.
If I switch to HSPA, both of these issues go away.
I've googled around for several hours and tried clearing cache/data of almost every app I can think of. I've disabled my encryption on my wireless router and restarted it. I've done two hard resets and tried using a different Google Account log in. The problem still persists.
Is there anything else I can do? Could it be a specific Router+SGS2 issue? I have my old HTC Desire sitting next to my SGS2 and it's downloading apps over WiFi like a champ.
Thanks for any help in advance!
EDIT: The problem has been fixed. For the record:
I downgraded my DIR-625 firmware from version 1.20 to 1.09. This actually resolved some other outstanding bugs I had and now I can finally fully enjoy my SGS2 at home.
Thanks for everyone's help.

Volume Up + Home + Power > Wipe cache > Wipe data
Start from scratch and make sure you add a Wifi and Google account at startup.

Thanks. Just tried that, still the same issue. On first boot up, I don't get asked for a WiFi connection however (I add it manually after the initial walk through is done).
EDIT: So I just tried the wipe data/cache/factory reset with the SIM taken out. It asked me to connect to a WiFi on boot up, and restored several applications with no problems. However, the same thing is still happening - can't download anything on the market .

I'm going through the EXACT same issue now. It's probably your router. Try it on a different wireless AP. You'll see ;-)
1) Which router are you using?
2) Do you have another Android device to test with?
3) What's your ISP?

So I just tried using the WiFi here at work and everything works! Must be my router then...
1. Dlink Di-625
2. Yes. My old HTC Desire has no problems with the WiFi.
3. Videotron
I'll try doing a hard reset on the router I guess (pressing the button).. Any idea what could be the issue specifically? It works completely fine for all my other devices..2 laptops, iPad, and my old HTC Desire.

Try signing into talk if already signed in log out and back in

Weird that it works on your Desire. My Nexus One didn't work either.
I have an ASUS RT-N12. No idea what the issue is. However, I did start noticing the issue after I tried to update Busybox. You didn't happen to try to update that did you?
I also have Videotron. I thought it may have been the ISP as I read somewhere a similar issue that ended up being the ISP's fault, but it worked at my dad's who also has Videotron.
Are you running DD-WRT on your router?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

Talking about DD-WRT, I have a 2 routers setup. First is a Netgear ProSafe VPN Firewall SRXN3205 broadcasting Canadian IP's and the second is a Cisco E4200 DD-WRT broadcasting US IP's. I noticed something interesting with the Cisco model. On my Tab 10.1 tablet I get both band signals 2.5/5Ggz as wireless while on the phone I only get the 2.5Ghz one. I'm running on XXKG3 2.3.4 firmware, the stock firmware was able to detect both bandwidths.
I'm going to root my phone in order to use MarketAccess or MarketEnabler and change the country to US, so I get all the missing apps.

I got home and did a hard reset on the router, issue still exists . I'm assuming it must be something to do with the router itself (since everything worked on a different WiFi). Unfortunately DD-WRT doesn't support the model I have (DIR-625).
I'm going to try and root it and maybe load a different kernel to see if that helps.

Yepp. Sorry, forgot to mention I did try signing in/out of Talk multiple times (which works fine on WiFi).

what ver. of market is the desire on and the sgs2 is os ver.2.3.4? or 2.3.6?
while the download is in progress, back out go into talk, sign out, then sign back in then go back to market dl should start.

I have the Same issue!!!!"
I though i was crazy.
I have the KH3 firmware. With a cisco E4200 router running DDWRT. on the same isp as you (videotron).
Could it be the isp????
Any solution?

Weird. Like I said though, I tried it at my dad's who also has Videotron and it worked fine.
Kernel/ROM doesn't change a thing. It's probably the router. Like I said, tried it on my Nexus One and it didn't work.

May it be a full rom or just an OTA file?
I found on samfirmware the link.
I am downloading it right now and the file size is 1054.8 Mb.
Will it be a full rom or just a BIG OTA?

is it possible to dowload it also for CZECH devices?

and for PORTUGAL devices? (while its not available...)

FWIW 8000 OTA's have usually worked just fine on the 8013. Of course proceed at your own risk. The 8013 OTA will probably be out shortly. Good news
Unless it takes a long time I'll probably just wait on the 8013 release.

I read it somewhere, multi-app feature now has Facebook, Twitter and Youtube - is this true.

Sort of... The s/w is looking for h/w components that aren't present. I have no idea what that means from a stability perspective.
Metallan said:
Okay, so I flashed this on my N8013. Here's what I've noticed so far:
- There are now some new and useless apps thought for the 3G version (like Phone, and some other phone-related)
- There's always a notification stating that the device has no signal, since well, off course it doesn't have signal.
- I've had it reset about 2 times in the last 60 minutes.
I forgot to wipe after flashing, so I'll do it now and see if that last problem persists.

I can't believe there isn't a rom based on this yet <ducking>

So, flashed this on my N8013 with odin. Never did a wipe. System came back up with all my apps and settings but on this leak from Germany. Oddly, so far everything seems to be working ok.
So, since I am on an N8013, which of course doesn't have a modem, Activesync to an Exchange server fails, as it is looking for a proper APN, which of course I cannot add. Does anyone know of a work-around to get this to work? I can always do just the email via IMAP, but it would be nice to have the whole shabang without needing a 3rd party app like Touchdown, which I don't much care for.
Thanks

Does anyone know how to modify the TMobile USA APN settings. I recently came from the HTC One S section where we had a mod to allow WiFi and USB tether without the plan. Anything similar to that for this device?

Did you try searching? there are methods that can be use but if you are using the N4 and a custom rom thats all you need. Remember this phone does not have any carrier branding.
It may even work stock but unfortunately my phone was not stock long enough to test that out... LOL
Edit: My friend connects to his wifi and using USB tether without a problem on his Note 2 and its not rooted so there is obviously a way

rooting it and custom rom will do nothing for you and getting caugth tethering, thats an untruth that gets spread around. tmobile sees your device on their network regardless, or you wouldnt be able to use tmobiles network. its just a matter of tmobile actively stopping you or ignoring you to a point. you can always try changing your browsers user agent, that helps sometimes, but they eventually catch on. to get to the apn settings, you dont need root. its in the main phone settings, more, mobile network, access point names..

Ok to clarify are we speaking about you turning on your wifi then connecting your phone to a pc and streaming over the internet that way? I know it sound crazy but my friends Internet card and wireless card in his pc do not work and this is how he connects his pc to internet.
Also I use ES File explorer on my Note 2 to tether and straight with my N4. I also use chrome if connected to a laptop. I may have just gotten lucky but i have not seen the T-Mobile page pop up on my since I got this phone. But thats just me

gray wifi

This thread already started a million times and none of them fixed my problem.
So the thing is today my wifi got from blue to gray. Now none of the google services are working..only dolphin browser.
I tried to clear data from play services and google play.
I tried to connect to a different wifi. Same problem
I tried rebooting
I tried turning wifi on and off.
I rooted the device a week ago. Today I installed apex launcher, which I also removed but no help.
Stock rom, only rooted and unlocked.
What to do?
I don't want to factory restore.

Well, I don't play around with my N7 a lot, since the whole family uses it...my daughter would freak if Netflix wasn't working.....so I put something on it, and if its very stable....I leave it alone quite awhile.
So, I'm on XenonHD 4.2.2. Had zero issues with it. I personally don't use 4.3, cause flash is pretty much a mess, for me anyway....no matter what browser I use. So 4.3 is out for me.

Make sure the SSID you are trying to connect to is on 2.4ghz only. No 5ghz radio in the 2012 Nexus, and that can confuse school routers. Try a coffee shop with free WiFi.

I bought the Nexus 7 LTE to take the place of my T-mobile hotspot. This update breaks the 2 reasons I use the hotspot for, wireless connectivity on the go when I need it for my laptop and native sms messaging. Both of these features are included in the service I pay T-mobile for on this account. Not only did Google disable these 2 features without notice in KitKat, but they don't acknowledge that they have or give a reason or resolution for the issue anywhere that I can find. I can't even find a way to contact Google directly to ask them a question about the issue with any guarantee that they will even read my questions, let alone answer them. Until this is resolved, I'm stuck on 4.3.1.

So you're saying that the 4.4/KRT16S update removed the option to tether with a T-Mobile SIM? Can anyone else confirm that? If that's true, that totally sucks. For people on AT&T, their tethering has been disabled from the start. I know for a fact that tethering still works with Verizon, though, even after the KitKat update. I'd love to know how carriers get their demands integrated into a carrier-free, SIM unlocked device like the Nexus 7, especially when no Nexus phone has ever disabled tethering. The Google Play Edition phones don't disable tethering either. This "selective disabling of tethering based on carrier" seems to be unique to tablets.
As for native SMS on a tablet, though, that's a feature very few people will miss because so few people would ever even think to do it in the first place. Tablets are designed by default to be data consumption devices, not giant phones. You probably won't find much sympathy on that one.
Sent from my Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition using Tapatalk

I'm tying to understand why it should be different on theN7 from the N5 running Kitkat. I use my N5 on T-Mobile and the tethering works fine. I can't say I love Hangouts as the native SMS client but it does work for sms/mms. It should work on the N7. Hopefully someone might chip in who uses t mobile with their N7. You might want a thread title that is clearer what your issues are. The current title is unclear.

I don't need anyone's sympathy. As a matter of fact, there is already someone who has claimed a fix for the SMS problem in the LTE android development forum for the Nexus 7 (2013). So obviously there is sympathy. Just because you don't use a feature, don't make the assumption that others don't use it and find it useful.

That's exactly why I reverted to CM10.2 a while back.
TBH I have yet to see one real benefit of KitKat, and the ASOP install issues with KK was a total deal breaker for me.
XPrivacy having issues with KK didn't help either.
Went back to 10.2 and now I'm extremely happy again!...
