[Q] wont connect to android market or gmail

My wifes A7 wont connect to the android market place now keeps saying no connection but it will connect to websites and is connected to our wireless network. do i just have to update the market app? please help

Not sure if this is your problem too, but mine was doing that exact thing today. For me it turned out that if I got to an area of the house with a weak Wifi signal, it stilled showed connected to my network, with 1 or 2 bars, but would not connect to gmail or the market. It kept telling me to log in to my gmail account, when I already was. I walked to the other side of the house, near the wireless router, and everything started working again.
Apparently, there is a bit of a false indication going on there as far as having a "good" wireless data connection.

Yeah i thought that might been case but I was right by my router when still wouldn't connect.
I found out the problem was the system time was not correct and once I manually changed it, everything works fine.
Thanks for suggestion and help improve appreciate it.

I have never been able to access android market with my elocity a7.. have found apps from
various sources but would like android market too! Tried every suggestion, when trying to download app., says no phone associated? Oh, what to do... lots of bars, close to router, time has been set...thanks so much for your suggestions..please help!

what i did was go to this site tabletroms.com and look for A7 forum. there is a mod there by dexter that will enable the A7 to use the android market. it is version 1.42, just have to do a factory restore and install update from a micro sd card.

I am SO happy to have found this post. I have a Samsung Galaxy Wifi 5 which was behaving very oddly. It was part sync'ing, could access internet, but gmail said no connection (despite being able to access email), and picasa sync failed.
Then through various guesses I came across this thread, and everything worked after setting the time again.
I realise what happened was that the Gal Wifi was completely dead having flattened the battery totally by accident, so it lost its clock.
I imagine that when the apps talked to Google, there would have been a failure validating SSL certs or related, and it produced an error which wasn't being trapped and thus producing the meaningless "unknown" errors.

[Q] Connected to Network but No Internet Access

On my Nexus 10, about 2 weeks old, and running most current version of Android, non-rooted, I can connect to wifi networks, but I do not have access to the internet. It just started today after having no issues whatsoever since I purchased it. It also just happened randomly today out of the blue. For further information, in the top right corner where the wifi "baseball diamond" is, the bars are that grey/white instead of the typical blue. Which I know means that I am connected to the network but without internet access. I have tried restarting my device both powering it off and on, and simply restarting it by holding down the power button. I have tried turning wifi off and on. I have tried the same with airplane mode as well. None of it has worked. I was wondering if anyone knew of any fixes for this issue? Thanks and any help is appreciated.

First I would get the IP of the nexus by long pressing the Wi-Fi network.
Then go on your pc connected to the same router and ping the ip.
For Windows, press Windows, type cmd.exe, enter, then
ping 192.168.1.x
But put in the real address instead.
If you get a reply with a ms value, your tablet is really connected.
If it times out or you get 100% packet loss, then it really isn't connected, or is unresponsive on the network.

When the bars are grey it doesn't necessarily mean that you don't have internet. The bars only turn blue when you are connected to the Google Talk servers. They are blocked at my work but I still have internet access with grey bars.

It just started though and I didn't have problems before. And I am connected to the Google servers on my galaxy s3 just fine on the same wife network. And as for the other poster, how do I ping it on a mac?

So everything worked fine yesterday after doing this. But today it reverted back to what it was doing. Tried pinging the ip again but it didn't work and it gave me 100% packet error or whatever

The ping had nothing to do with it working again, it was just a coincidence. You're having the same wifi problem a lot of us are suffering.

it has to do with the dns settings of the network I am using. And it just seems to come and go in terms of working. Hopefully it is fixable problem within the software

I am having a similar problem, but it happens sporadically and oftentimes fixes itself after about 30 seconds. Is this a known problem and is it hardware? Also, sometimes when I go to open the play store I will get a "No connection" message with the option to retry even when I am fully connected (blue bars and everything). The retry almost always works too. I am curious why this happens and if the two issues are related. Thanks for the forum, folks.

Yes, this is a known problem many are experiencing and is most probably software, unfortunately google seems to have a hard time getting their fat fingers off their arse.

Same issue has been driving me crazy. I have to turn Wifi off and on again.
The other, really annoying issue is that when I turn Wifi on in my bedroom, it still connects to the living room router with terrible wifi reception, instead of the nice strong signal from the office router just next door, I have to tell it explicitly connect to the office one.

Alias_neo. Why don't you just rename the network in your room to a different name so the tablet can distinguish between the two

They ARE different names, that's what's bugging me. My SGS3 had no issue, but for some reason the N10 just prefers one once it's set.

[Q] Wifi and me - not happening! Piece of CRAP google!

I'm sure I'm not alone in this.
My N4 won't connect to wifi. Well it connects but Won't keep a connection to complete a playstore app install nor update the system itself?
This is what I posted on "Issue 40065: Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 Wifi Drops connection Android 4.2"
New device just received. Will connect to wifi but unable to install any apps thru play store.... Just shows data transferring but none actually happens. I'm unable to install none of the gapps updates. Left it alone for 2 days did not help. removing password from router and making it an open router did not help. Now trying to decide I should return the device as it is only usable as a phone not a multimedia device which this N4 should be?
There are a lot of people having the same kind of issue on this phone. A little search brings up lots and lots of complaints.
Still unable to connect to my router encore model 2AN3.
Tried to connect to open wifi router at McD and [email protected]#$ - still no go. It will connect think about it and stops. The icon at the top turns green and gray and keeps doing it.
How ever I was able to connect to the open wifi router on another Nexus S (my older phone) and was able to download updates and install said applications from play store.
This tells me that hardware is good. Software coded so badly that it is unable to keep a connection to routers.
So if you need to use this phone on a wifi router - wait until google fix this or get another phone.
As for me - it is a shame I will have to return this phone to google as it is useless media device. Just a phone which I can get a cheap phone for 10 bucks not $400 piece of [email protected]#$%T.
Sorry for the RANT.

Also flashed rom CM10.1 stable and xylon 17 stable. Still same problem repeated. both ROMS can connect to my hotspot on my NS but unable to neither my home router nor public wifi.
A few things I have tried.
1. avoid poor wifi disabled.
2. switch chennels to 6 or 8 - tried all.
3. Resetting routers
4. Assigning static IP address
5. Cleared cache from recovery
6. changed the Wi-Fi band from 'Auto' to 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz
7. Flashed new kernel Running franko.
8. Flashed 2 other ROMS/cm10.1 and xylon17 both stable versions.
My home router have not trouble connecting to all other devices at home (NS, HP touchpad, 3 desktop and 3 other laptops, Tried with N4 being the only device that was turned on. : still no go!! WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY!!!
Also followed the directions from this thread. Still no candy.
Please take a poll and let post here if you should find a good solution.

Mine works flawlessly. You should contact Google for a RMA.

I guess its the lease period on your router that you need to change... put it to lease expiring n a day or two... shuld work.. I had this issue when I upgraded to 2.3.6 on my Atrix

I just called. This guy treated me like I'm noob. But I digress.. He asked me to turn off GPS and try again saying that GPS and wifi together can not be on at the same time. That still did not work. So there is a request for replacement. Not really sure when I will get it. But keep my finger crossed - that I get a working wifi and gps at the same time ??
Don't really want to return it though since I like the phone form factor and such!
What a shame.

Why wouldn't WiFi and GPS work together? I don't see any reason as to why one would interfiere with another

You shouldn't be flashing ROMs to try and fix something as basic as this. You're only adding more variables to the problem. My WiFi has been rock solid, and so apparently is that of most other posters. This would tend to indicate that there is a specific problem with your phone.
Unless there is something seriously wrong with your router it's RMA time I reckon.

I see your point and I agree.
But after a full day of fiddling with it on stock ROM, what the hell not?

I sure did! But I also tried a couple of other fixes I have found on the web and on this forum. That did not help either.

Just to re-iterate .....
Wifi works if I connect to my other nexus S's hot spot.
Wifi will not stay connected to allow me to go to play store on any wifi router (home Encore ENHWI-2AN3 firmware version 1.1.3 - Mcdee's open wifi and [email protected]#'s open wifi router.) It will connect - get a blue wifi icon with a few arrows ..... but will go to gray and back to blue and so on ....
Waiting for google to make up its mind about shipping me a replacement.

[Q] LG G2 DLNA Issue

Hi
This is probably a long shot, but just wanted to check to see if anyone else was experiencing the same problem.
Anyway, it took me a while to figure out but, when my phone connects to my home wireless network, it causes all other DLNA devices connected to the network to crash.
For example, I have two Netgear ReadyNAS devices, and use a Samsung smart TV which I use to access them (videos, music etc). With the phone connected, or connecting it to the wireless network, it will cause the TV to disconnect and make reconnection to the ReadyNAS device impossible without restarting the DLNA service on it. It will happen frequently for as long as the phone is connected.
I also have 3 Media Centre extender devices which connect to Media Centre PC to stream live tv, music etc. Connecting the phone to the network will immediately cause the extender to crash. Or, if the phone is already connected it will cause the extender to crash quite frequently where the only way to reconnect it to the main PC is to switch it off and on.
I can't find any setting on the phone to control this behaviour - noting that this happens even when the DLNA feature is off (accessed through settings->Share & Connect).
This has happened since the phone arrived at the beginning of October, it just took me a month to figure out that it was the phone causing all these issues.
Any help greatly appreciated!

Try a third party app like imediashare for example.

Sorry, I should clarify.
It's not that my phone causes other DLNA devices to crash when I'm trying to access them. I literally have to walk in through my front door and as soon as the phone connects to my wireless network, it'll crash any of the DLNA device switched on.
So, are you suggesting the app may solve that?

wireless router problem probably?
try to disconnect 1 or 2 devices from the network then re-connect your G2.
check if the same problem will happen again...
i've been using my G2 for a month now and it is always connected to my wireless network
but I haven't encountered any problem with the other DLNA connected devices...

Afraid not. It took me nearly a month to figure out what it was and in that time, I replaced my wireless router and components (including motherboard) of my PC - thinking the problem centered around the PC.

network crash

this just about sums up the situation i have and its spooky that it sounds like my own story except i got my isp to send me a new router after talking to technical and they saw the internet crashed and from my insistence that it was not a connection issue but it was the router dropping out and when talking to technical they asked me if there was any change to my network i did say i got a new phone but they dismissed this!.
running on my network:-
htc desire android
samsung google nexus android
smart tv
2 laptops
hard wired computer
samsung mobile
ocasional i phones (not guilty)
all of the above have lived in harmony on my network untill.......
even the hard wired pc loses internet but still visible on network discovered by plugging laptop via cable into router and then crashing network with phone.
the symptoms seem to be that it crashes the internet but the internal network still has some functionality, its like the firewall sets up a block and locks down internet traffic for a short while after a time it will come back on but the same thing happens again until i turn off wi fi on my phone that is only ten days old (bit smug it took me about 5 days to work out where the stuff hitting the fan came from!) but i have paid lip service to lg as they don't want to believe this is an issue with their phone and i did the factory reset only to waste some more time re loading my phone with wifi turned on.......
if you look at Samsung reports of this it is quite common on the s4 but again no one wants to take responsibility and the suggestions are it is to do with jelly bean os not quite being complete but Google wont admit to that. just be glad you haven't got an s3 with the new os update Samsung stopped that after about a week as it killed everything!
great phone but useless without wifi.
come on google and lg sort the crap out for the consumers or we will all get the hump and buy bloody apples

I have the same exact problem, got to change router but nothing works, any solution yet?

I never found any workaround for the problem. I was stuck using my data connection while at home if I used any of the devices.
That was until I had an OTA update entitled 'Internet' from LG last week.
Everything now works, with no issues.

Going on a whim here... but try TKIP only, no AES.

I had the same issue when I got my g2 last week. I tried a number of solutions suggested on various threads however the problem was only resolved by upgrading my Netgear modem/ routers firmware. I have had no issues since.

Just received the OTA kitkat update and the issue is back.
Unfortunately, I'm with Sky and stuck with an older version of the Sky hub which doesn't have a TKIP only option. Save forking out money to buy a new hub from them with no idea if the issue will go away or not, back to the drawing board...

Nexus 4 wifi issues

I got my nexus 4 off my brother as he recently got a new phone. I replaced the battery with a new one and all seemed to be going well.
Everything is stock, I have even tried flashing a few older stock builds LMY48M/T to try fix this. I currently have my sim card in an old phone while I am having issues with this nexus 4. I cannot remember if these issues also effected my phone sim network too. I cannot test this until the weekend. I could have damaged the antenna when replacing the battery.. but then when the wifi does eventually connect, it stays connected fine.
I am unsure if it is a problem with my Nexus 4, or my BT HH 4 router.
The issue with the wifi is my home connection says 'Saved' but it never connects instantly. However I could put my phone down and come back some time later and it would have managed to connect. As soon as I turn wifi off, and then on again it will just say 'Saved' and not connect. Once connected wifi works perfectly, excellent signal strength and link speed.
Things I have tried so far:
- 2.4ghz only, 5ghz only, and automatic
- Factory resets multiple times
- Forgetting the wifi network and re-adding password
- Going into recovery and wipe cache partition
- Restarting router
-
As for my BT HH 4, every other device in the house has no issue connecting, (shield k1 tablet, HTC desire S, TF101 tablet, laptops, chromecast all fine) it is just the Nexus 4. Maybe someone could reply who is also with BT and has a Home Hub 4. I cant see how it would be an issue with my router since everything else can connect fine. For this reason I would rather avoid changing settings.
Here are some things showing up when trying to connect my nexus 4 to the wifi from the Home Hub logs.
- Client associated - Client disassociated over and over
- IN: BLOCK [9] Packet invalid in connection (tcp reset attack is suspected:
- BLOCKED 3 more packets (because of Packet invalid in connection)
I have spent so much time searching around trying to fix this and got nowhere, so hopefully someone can help. Any posts I did manage to find were from years ago, I tried the suggestions anyway and still no luck.
