[Q]gmail and market app not working on wifi

Hey guys, I am facing a weird problem after updating an OTA released yesterday by HTC (2.2.1). My gmail app and market app is not working when on wifi. It works perfectly on Mobile data connection though (EDGE). I get a no connection error in gmail and network error in market app.
I have done the following but to no avail.
1. Soft reset and boot into safe mode.
2. Uninstalled task killer app.
3. Deleted all data for these apps and updated the gmail app and setup the account again.
I have not tried the hard reset as yet. Can anyone help me out please? TIA

Thats not good at all. Is your handset branded?

Hey Andy,
Thanks for replying although your reply does make me nervous :s. I am from India and we only get unbranded sets here. So to answer your question it is a unlocked unbranded phone running stock firmware.
By the way after I posted the question I did get these two apps working once for sometime but since then it's the same problem. I am starting to wonder whether it has to do something with the wifi although all the remaining apps are working fine and dandy.

Is the wifi access point owned by you? You could try turning it off and on again, that may help.

Have tried that. It is my home network that I am connecting to using a linksys wireless router.
UPDATE - I connected my phone using internet pass through i.e. sharing the internet through PC via the data cable and I still get the same error which leads me to believe some setting on the router provided by my ISP is causing this. Although what I fail to understand is that it was working fine till yesterday and nothing have been changed in the router setup recently.

Hmm... that's odd. Did your ISP supply your router? My ISP pushed a firmware update to my router about 8 months ago that broke pretty much everything wireless.
Is it just Gmail & Market that don't work over wifi? Does your browser and other apps work?

Yes indeed, my ISP provides a router which is then connected to my wireless router. The strange thing is everything else is pretty much working including gtalk.

If your router supports DMZ and you know how to set it up, you could try putting your DHD's IP into the DMZ to eliminate the possibility of your routers inbuilt firewall blocking Market & GMail.

Maybe a DNS problem? Ensure you have good ones... You can always test Google ones 8.8.8.8 and/or 8.8.4.4

Thanks for showing interest guys. I for some strange reason cannot access my router settings page. I will figure that out but the stranger things are happening with my apps. After a bit of tinkering I have found a behavior which stumps me.
These are the steps I follow:
1. Sign out from gtalk.
2. Go to manage applications and clear cache and data for gmail, market, download manager, Google backup transport, google partner setup and google services framework.
3. Restart phone.
After this my gmail app starts working on wifi but talk does not start anymore and market also throws an error before even accepting the terms. I uncheck and check the background data services and I am back to square one i.e. gmail stops syncing saying no connection, gtalk works as usual and market starts giving connection error (after accepting terms).
I seriously think now there's a serious flaw in the software and not something to do with my router settings.
Sorry for the long post. Thanks for reading.

Simillar problem appeared for me in Locations. I couldn't list country maps for preload on wifi without 3G. After turned on 3G, it listed the maps - turn off - and i could download with wifi.

[Q] Strange wifi problems

At some point today I noticed every time I tried to go to google play it would tell me I had no connection. I would try to reconnect, reset my router, reboot the kindle, nothing worked.
Later I noticed only certain apps were not working. When I launched dolphin hd I was able to browse pages, but I am getting a lot of invalid certificate errors when I do so.
My kindle is rooted so I connected to it via ssh and ran tcpdump and I can see data going in and out fine via the browser. However when I try to to monitor port 443 for google play, gmail I see the https traffic, but both google play, and gmail are saying "no connection, retry"
I'm able to ping gmail, twitter, I can browse google. Any ideas what might be causing this?
Oh, also tried fired up twrp wiped my cm7 install and tried to load a old backup, same problems.

maybe blocked some ports on the router ?

I went all through the router settings at the start, even tried connecting to some open wifi thinking it had to be my router, and I have the same issue regardless.

i've had the same exact problems. idk what to do. it wont let me connect to the internet using any app except the browser and there are so many errors with certificates.

Hmm did you try clearing dalvic cache of reinstalling rom.also what rom are you using.

[Q] Cannot connect to Google Services (Grey WIFI Symbol)

Seem to have started having issues, but only started today.
Using Codename android rom 3.3.0
Anyone have any ideas on how to force it to happen etc.
Tried rebooting my router, but seems to be the same,

Have you tried Force closing the services under settings, apps, running, Google Services , then try syncing your GMail or logging into Gtalk to restart it

Ill have a look. rebooted my device several times and rebooted the router too.
I dont use Gtalk or Gmail. Just cant access the play store!

Wiped all the google apps data and cache. Seems to be fine now

I get an error whenever I try to run Google Play over WIFI

Since I bought my new Nexus 4, I haven't managed to run Google Play over WIFI.
It's very important to mention that my WIFI connection is completely fine, and I can surf the Internet without any problems.
Whenever I open Google Play as WIFI is turned on and connected, after a few seconds I receive the following error message: "Connection Timed Out" near a button which allows me to try again. This message is not shown if I turn off WIFI connection and connect my cellular internet network. If I don't use WIFI, I can run Google Play without any errors and download any application I want to download.
This is very very weird because my brother owns exactly the same device (Nexus 4) and he doesn't get any error messages when he's connected to the same WIFI connection. We both have kept the original Android stock rom, we both haven't rooted our phones and that's why I can't explain why only I get this message.
I have already googled about it and tried every suggestion I could find (For example: http://wccftech.com/fix-no-connection-retry-error-message-on-google-play-store-app). Nothing helped. I even tried to do a factory reset but it didn't change anything.
Does anyone know what causes this annoying problem? I don't know what to do anymore
* I don't want to root my phone and I don't want to replace the original ROM which came with my phone the day I bought it.

Nexus 10 not connecting to public (hotel) wifi

I have a rooted Nexus 10 with 5.0 on it. I have made no changes the underlying aspects of the os. For all intents and purposes it is stock.
I am staying at a hotel that offers its guests free wifi. You have to connect to the wifi and then open the browser for the splash screen and login info. The wifi signal is very strong.
When I try to login using my Nexus 10 both chrome and firefox give me a "timed out" error and never connect. I have both a windows laptop and a Galaxy S5 that work just fine. The galaxy is NOT rooted.
To verify that it was the network causing the issue, I set my phone as a hotspot and tried it. It worked fine.
Everything I have done below has failed.

* I found another forum that suggested the clearing of the Google Services Framework Cache. I noticed that it never was above 12kb and clearing it did not change it.
I am here all week and REALLY want to use it.

When I posted this issue this morning my nexus would not connect to the wifi. I took my tablet with me and left it in my car in a bag for the day. Got back to my room, pulled it out, woke it up and it connected just fine. I do notice i have an ! next to the wifi signal but it works.

inop again
And now this morning (Tuesday), it is not working again. This is very frustrating.
