Hello all!
I just received my beautiful phone this morning, and even though it has been a little confusing to get everything going, I'm so far LOVING the experience. I have one question though:
can this phone work without a data plan?
I got it off ebay and although i paid a high amount for it, it is still T-Mobile locked. It was working just fine and dandy with just the wi-fi in my house and school (3g !!) but after I flashed co0kie ROM on it, nothing requiring data works anymore :/ Any insight would be appreciated. I was using something called "Web GoGo" or something which I can't find on this new ROM, so ?
The phone will work with out a data plan. You said you flashed a new rom, did you make sure to reset up your wifi profiles from your house and school? I've done that before you might just need to go into the com manager and make sure its connected to wifi. If its connected to wifi it should work.

It was connected to both WiFi networks and when I tried to get onto either Internet Explorer or Opera 10, they both showed that "Upsell" message that I needed to subscribe to a data plan :[
wow now I feel sostupid.your advice totally worked.all I had to do was reconnect to my wifi.thank you!

It happens, sometimes I forget that I recently flashed a new rom and didn't set up my wifi or bluetooth. Then I wonder why it doesn't work lol.

Hi, I just got a brand new Xperia Play and am loving it so far, aside from one infuriating issue.
When I'm on WIFI I simply cannot download anything from the market, I've been messing with this for the past 2 hours, things I've tried:
Clearing app cache of several apps related to downloading
Toggling WIFI / 3G
Restarting phone
Updating to latest firmware
Reset to factory settings
Play with router wireless settings
Reinstall router firmware
The only thing that did something is clearing the cache of the download manager, after I did that I was able to install one thing from the market. But it only worked once, it's not working anymore.
I'm also unable to play youtube video's when using wifi.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? My phone is brand new, so it can't be something I did with it.
Also, up till today I had an HTC Magic, which did not have the problem on the same wireless network. It did have occasional "download starting" hiccups, but nothing like this.
Any advice?
Thanks!

You have the weirdest problem.. Did you check your router to see if it's generating enough ip addresses for all your wireless devices?
What is the distance between you and your router and what kind of router is it? I believe the play has a weaker wifi radio, so it might be dcing too often to stream and download.. Try standing closer to the router to see if there is a difference first.

I'm right next to the router and the web interface shows a full signal, so it can't be that. I can also see in the web interface that an ip address was assigned.
I've tried setting the phone as the DMZ and disabling the router firewall. No luck with that either.
I also tried upgrading my router firmware from Tomato to DD-WRT and doing a factory reset, but again .. no luck.
I'm running out of ideas, it seems the problem originates from Android and not my router, but I can't think of anything else I could try. Could it be an issue with the Android network in my location?
Omfg.. 3/4 hours later I finally got it, and this one wasn't suggested anywhere else so hopefully this will help some others in the future.
I had to go into wireless settings on my phone, click menu, go to advanced and then manually configure the network connection. Make sure your router has reserved an ip for you and use that one, otherwise you might end up trying to use one that is already in use.
After that it all seems to be working for me (so far). Fingers crossed that it won't stop working again.
Yea you couldn't find the answer anywhere else because it seemed like it was an isolated incident. Gratz for figuring it out though.

Next day, working fine in the morning. Couple hours later and it's back to getting stuck on "Downloading". Tried toggling static ip with no luck.
God this is incredibly annoying. I'm guessing it'll magically start working again at some point, and then stop working again later.
From what I've found through google this bug has been around since the very first version and not a single solution has been offered by google. Seriously this is ridiculous
Hi,
I'm having exactly the same issues.... Normal browsing, etc works fine on WIFI but market just wont work on WIFI.
I dont even see the device hitting my router when I try to download thru the market. Other network connections are seen by my router.
I wonder if it might be linked to the the fact that I'm running a UK rom on my device. When I'm using my data connection off Rogers, it actually does a RMNET to the British government... So we are seen as downloading from the UK.. Just an idea...
It's annoying as hell....
I was going to say download speedtest.net app when you can and see what it yields... but I see you've got it figured out. Nice!

Interesting, so you're saying that google somehow classifies us as UK users, which causes problems when switching to WIFI, which is not classified as a UK connection?
It would make sense, seeing as it seems to start working again after a while.. which could mean that whatever info google is caching on us is expired and it finally adopts the WIFI connection info.
Still, I have doubts about that.. I mean wouldn't a LOT more Rogers users be complaining about this?
The only persons that would be complaining are people like us running UK roms but our WIFI is coming from a canadian provider. In my case Videotron.
So when i<m using 3g data, i'm seen as coming from the UK because of the RMNET connection and when using WIFI i'm seen as Canadian... with a uk rom.
I've read that the market DOES have regions... might not be 100% correct on that but it might be part of my issue.
Mine BTW, never works anymore even after clearing cache, FC the market, etc...
lol i got the opposite problem i have trouble downloading stuff from the market using 3g but works perfect using wifi
not really an issue since im not an app whore
Its not a issue on play all phones has that. Simply log in to your Talk app then try again. (launch Gtalk app and login)
Thanks, but i had already tried that.
Reinstalled the UK rom yesterday, and even after a clean install market still doesnt work on WIFI even tho my WIFI works for browsing, accessing my computer thru RDP, etc.

This only works for some people.
My market has been working for a day now (I didn't do anything to fix it), I'm expecting it to stop working any moment. Fingers crossed.
Edit: Aaand there we go.. stopped working again. Sigh.
Got the same issue both on my Nexus S (Videotron) and (which is strange), on My Motorola Xoom Tablet which only has wifi, no 3g !!
Edit: If I connect my tablet thru my cell phone (wifi tethering) I have no problem with market
ok so me and mobidoy are both on Videotron...
Naatan I see you are in quebec... Videotron also?
Starting to believe it migh be an issue with them
hey
im in videotron too and since 4 days i cant watch youtube on youtube app and my download on market stay stuck in green bar!! i have a toshiba thrive android 3.1!!!!!
when i connect with a 3g router or on the wi fi in my city everything work again
so it clear that videotron is the problem!!!!
Had the same problems
First time hard reset fixed it.
Second time by magic, sorry. I was about to send the phone to repairs
I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
I've been having the exact same problem as you and can't seem to find a way to solve this. I just purchased a Galaxy Tab 10.1, WIFI only, and at home nothing will download from the Android market. It just gets stuck. Youtube videos also dont work via the app.I tried it out at a friends and everything worked flawlessly.
At home, I also have Videotron internet. I just called them, and tried to explain to their customer service but obviously they were quick to blame it on anything else they could. They said they did not block any ports either.
I read a thread about some vodafone users in the UK having a similar problem than us:
Edit: It wont let me post an external link because I'm a new user, but the post is on androidforums.com and is titled "ANDROID MARKET download/update problem via WiFi"
It seems their problem was fixed after calling Vodafone.
I'm also inclined to point fingers at Videotron since its odd we are all customers of theirs.
Just called Videotron technical support, they have an open ticket about it since yesterday morning and are actualy working on the issue !! There is hope !!
Ok I got my phone and signed up and got a Tmobile sim today and at home I use wifi and on stock my wifi and signal take forever to turn blue and just stay grey. When they finally turn blue I still can't connect on the play app it just times out everytime. Websites load fine but not play, I even unlocked and rooted and flashed cm10.1 and had the same problem. I try to use my data and it does the same thing but at my house I only get E so I don't know.

Possibilities:
+bad and/or cable connection => try with another wifi network
+bad radio => try somewhere with good 3G connections.
If you can't connect at all, time to RMA.

My wifi works fine on my laptop and my galaxy nexus. I won't be in a area with good data until tomorrow. Even if that works and my wifi still doesn't should I call google? I don't know what RMA means exactly or what to do if I need too.
Even if your laptop and galaxy nexus works fine, it can still be the router. I think it is worth to try.
If wifi or data does work, definitely call Google. RMA = return merchandise authorization. short for: return the sexy phone

Looks like thats what I'm going to have to do as I can't get any connection with my wifi or my data and I know my sim and tmobile work fine. What should I do call the playstore devices section and tell them that?

Do you have access to the play store on your galaxy nexus with your wifi connection? I had a similar problem and it appeard that I had to lower MTU value from 1500 to 1400 :
ip link set dev wlan0 mtu 1400

No, now my wifi won't do anything. It stays grey, I could never load the playstore for some reason.
same problem here my samsung galaxy y and my iberry auxus ax02 are getting the good signal but could not connect to internet through apps like playstore,youtube,google+,google,etc....please any body help me out
So here's the scoop, I just got my n10 and I can't connect it to the home WiFi. My s3 and my wife's s3 all connect as do the other tabs. I can connect the n10 to the hotspot from my phone but still not to the home unit.
So my question, my router is.......let's say from a friend that can make things happen. In the past I had to change the DNS settings which was OK because the my s3 was rooted, but not my wife's. After some reconfiguration from my friend I no longer needed to change the DNS settings and her non rooted phone picked up the WiFi.
Dumb question, does the n10 have new WiFi technology that would impair it from getting the WiFi signal from this......"type" of setup?
Thanks y'all.

I'm not sure what your "type" of setup is or exactly all that stuff about DNS and why a rooted phone wouldn't work with a regular setup (I've never had issues with rooted phones connecting to wifi). Anyway, I had this problem yesterday. Long story short, I had to exchange the Nexus 10.
I did a complete factory reset on the modem/router (in one device. Not unplug and reset, but a complete factory reset), factory reset the tablet, and even reflashed the stock image. Absolutely nothing got it to work. I could connect to a wifi hotspot on my phone, I even hooked up an old router I had to my modem and that worked as well(but the separate router drops signal, so I didn't want to use it.)
Maybe it's something to do with the DNS thing you mentioned that's way above me, but as soon as I got the new Nexus it worked with no issues. But then again, the first Nexus worked for a week before it stopped connecting.
Hope that helps somewhat.
Well I guess I'll just come out with it...my Internet setup is not precisely legit, but I don't have any issues connecting any other wifi devices. Why would I have issues with this one. Is it intuitive enough - more than my s3 - to know and not process the signal? I have replaced it today and still no luck. I have tried the replacement on another actual legit home wifi and it works great. Other than getting myself legit........any suggestions?
Users on other foruma said the upgrade to 4.2.2 helped. I assume its not completely updated out of the box. Maybe find a network that works and give that a try. otherwise, I'm all out of ideas.
Im waiting for my new one to start doing the same thing. Im nervous it will happen after my return period this time.
Just got one recently, and it was not updated. After the update, it's now on JDQ39.
Yea, I updated to 4.2.2 on the first one and no luck. I haven't yet on this one but I guess I will give it a try.
I really wanna keep it because it's a frigging nexus and the screen is AWESOME. I'm even thinking of going legit for it. SMH I feel dirty just typing it.

WOW!!! as stubborn as I am I went to try for a third tablet before being defeated......the third tablet accepted the WiFi in an instant. So the outcome: two tablets had WiFi issues right out if the box. They would not connect at all... Persistence is key.
Glad to hear. Keep us updated if it starts to have issues again.

Sorry for the late response....all correct.
It would read connected but no data, and it's an arris router unit.
I had to go through three units (nexus 10's) before getting one that worked. Might just want to try and exchange it.

ahhh ok
yea i wanted to try and return it but i dont wanna go thru 3 of them :/
it would be so much easier to swap out my router for like a motorola one or something \
right now im using connectify me off my computer and my nexus connects fine.
so your 4th nexus connected to it just fine ?
see, i bought mine at walmart i dont wanna try and return 3 of them thru there saying, oh the wifi works everywhere but my house, i just dont want them to be like we cant return it or something after the 3rd time LOL
i called google and they had no idea what i was talking about -_-
and samsung takes FOREVER to get a representative i havent got to talk to them first, im just curious if theres somehting i could do before i try taking it back to get it to work.
Actually the third one is the one working so I guess I only returned it twice...sorry.
But I also purchased mine at Walmart. Not sure if your in a big city, but I just went to different walmarts for returns. I got lucky on the first return .....they were being lazy and just gave me cash instead of returning it to the card. So that made it a lot easier to repurchase.
Mine worked on another router so maybe changing yours out will work, but I don't have that option. I will say the first one worked on my brother in laws router.....so maybe. Let me know how it goes.

I myself bought mine at Walmart.
And I know returning it saying it works in all networks except mine is going to sound super sketch so I contacted Google first and they had no record of it.
I posted a user bug on code.Google.com
Then called Samsung and explained the issue (if I set a static IP on the nexus itself to 192.168.0.7, then switch back to dhcp trying to connect to MY network it still shows the nexus' IP as 192.168.0.7, but I was to so that then switch back to dhcp and connect to a McDonalds hotspot my IP changes instantly)
Along with many other things I've tried, went all the way up to tech support level 3 and they've never heard of it either so he wrote down EVERYTHING and asked me to email there president with my ticket number and everything to see if they can look more into
It.
I called time Warner as well and explained my problem there willing to swap out my router for a different one. So I don't think I'll be returning it.
Thanks for your replies though.

Good for you getting a new router....I will say the walmarts I went to didn't even ask what was wrong. They took it and didn't even blink.
From what I learned in doing this and my rudimentary knowledge of networking, the IP will default to the networks line of succession IP addresses. I tried changing my IP at home too, but still no luck. I even got into the routers "database " I guess you would call it. In internet explorer or chrome, type in your gateway address (for instance mine was 10.0.0."'' It should be on the bottom of the router or in your tab.....not sure where I found it. Username is probably admin and the password is probably password - these are standard defaults from the mfg. You can see all connected devices, but in my case 3 hours of jacking with it didn't make a difference, I had to change it out to get it working.
Don't get me wrong, if you get a new router and it works.....AWESOME.
was it the first router you set it to? mine was and maybe because of that it will never talk to it again but will work with others going forward.
I did call Google too and they weren't thrilled about helping since I bought from Wally world.
Have you master reset it? I had a number of times but still to no result. maybe you can try that.

Just received my LG G2 White brand new from T-Mobile about 2 hours ago. After many attempts to troubleshoot the issue it all failed. The problem is Wifi will connect to router and even work but after 30 seconds the connection goes down. The actual Wifi signal shows connected but no internet it gets stock. We tried resetting the phone and toggling with different features but still it did the same thing. T-Mobile is the worst they were trying to have me ship the phone back and leave me phone less for days. I complained and they are sending another one overnight but have charged me for the phone on my account. Mind you I've had months of bad service, after all I think I got a defective phone. I've read some other people having the same issue with other carriers. If I get another one with the same issue I'm jumping boat. If anyone knows of a work around let me know. I tried 2 different routers same issues connects then it randomly disconnects and stops downloading or transferring data.
Reset Phone - didn't work
Turned off mobile data - didn't work
Turned off wifi sleep - didn't work
Is it an N router? You could try putting it in G mode just for better compatibility and see if that does anything.
Tried on G same thing, New device should work on N by the way seems like is a hardware issue
Try a public router like Starbucks or something
Just did worked for 2 minutes and again it stops. This is either a software glitch or hardware issue, very random
This is the big thing I miss on my Nexus. I was thinking if WiFi calling worked well on the G2 I may actually go back to a Tmo device.
Any reports of whether MMS is working with the WiFi calling?
u might have a defective g2. i have the tmobile version since thurday last week and never had an issue with wifi

Yes. Yes it is.

Well Ive found out that the phone is having issues connecting to 5ghz network or not updated routers. I think the phone is hella fast, camera is quite good but this phone doesn't live up too the hype. Specially if in my business were all gadgets, macs, pc's connect with no issue Im not going to reset router settings just cause this phone doesn't like it. Jumping ship, it was quite an awfall experience. by the way LG is clueless, dont even bother calling them..
I've had wifi issues like that on my Vz G2. 2.4 and 5ghz channels. None of my other devices have the issue. Forcing a new channel on the router resolves the issue for awhile, but it's like the radio is very sensitive to channel interference or something.
I have the same problem. It seems like it only works if you set your router to 802.11g only
My WiFi calling, SMS, MMS, and general WiFi connectivity on my T-Mobile G2 works fine. However the call quality over WiFi sucks.
What sucks is I really really like this phone. I'm conflicted on if I should return or keep. I go back and forth hourly.
Just for comparison sake I am using an Asus RT56N router and my G2 is connected to N network with Comcast but I frequently use G at a friends house using Century Link. It connects just fine on that POS network.
So I don't know what's going on here.

Well I just got a Galaxy S4 and I must admit the G2 has by far the better looking screen, camera and speed. I actually think Im going to send the S4 back and get the G2 again hoping that the one I got was just defective. Im so conflicted cause I really liked the G2 but the wifi issue is a deal breaker. Not sure what to do!
Maybe it was just a defective unit. I had to return my first one and I may have to return this one too. I keep noticing weird touch screen issues now. The first one didn't have touch issues but had speaker issues. This one looks like it may or may not have touch screen issues.
I took off the Zagg Screen protector to see if that was the cause. We will see.
My issues are a far less version of what's happening in this video.

I had same problem. I called TMobile and LG. But no solution. Then finally I found the reason. Just update your Router Firmware! Access your router setting thru the IP addess and update with latest firmware. Now my LG-G2 WIFI is working perfectly. My router is D Link DIR-655.

Problems with Tomato
Is anyone having issues with a non-dlink router? I have an Asus RT-N16 set up with Tomato firmware and have very similar issues as well. Everything on the internet suggests upgrading my dlink firmware... which obviously doesn't help me . Other people have suggested trying "G only" on the router, which sucks and is pretty heavy handed. Will report back if it works though...

I have used my old NETGEAR wndr3300 (setup for 2.4 & 5Ghz) and my phone connected to either flawlessly. Then I purchased a DLink DIR-855 Xtreme and the problems started. Tried to update firmware, and the router would constantly reboot every few minutes when my G2 would connect to either frequency. Now I am using a WD MyNet 900, and no problems as of yet.

new g2 kills wifi
all of the symptoms mentioned are happening to me too but im on ee (UK version of T mobile). the network drops out on after a short time of network connection, i have spent 45 mins on Saturday talking to the (well not really talking more like listening to hold music) tech dept about internet connectivity problems and even convinced them that it was not the internet that was hiding but the router that was not performing so they sent me a new one; i eagerly swapped it over tonight and even factory reset the phone like lg have suggested but guess what...........
i have sent lg a snotty response as this issue has now cost me a bout 6 hours of my life trying to work wtf is going on and the on the phone to tech call centers and the inevitable net trawling for answers plus the effin and jeffin about after a complete factory reset.
it seams we are not unique in this and samsung have had this as an issue for quite a bit and best guesses are that it is a o/s issue with jelly bean 4.2 but this is not what google would have you believe and do not acknowledge this as an issue. im no expert just someone who wants the effing thing to work and have someone who has the power and capability to sort this out to do so without having to convince some faceless organisation that the problem should not be mine cos i dont get paid to sort out the crap.
