It keeps saying
Connection to server lost
Touch to try again
But never loads

Try flashing the wifi fix see if it helps worked for me after I tried different kernels modems etc.

So the wifi fix works for a short time.... and just stops working. I don't even have to reboot, it will stop after a random amount of time.

I saw this somewhere on these forums but forget who to give credit to.
What worked for me was to uncheck the "auto network switch box" in the wifi settings.
Settings > Wifi> use menu button > Advanced > Uncheck Auto network switch box
I restarted the phone after this and all videos (youtube, FB, etc) has worked from now on.

WIFI problems. Very Wierd.

Ok I have been using the nexus 7 for a few months now, flashing roms no problems. Now all the sudden, ONLY when connected to WIFI, I can browse the internet fine, but once I go to stream video from youtube or download app updates from google play, it hangs indefinitely and either times out or says cant connect to server.. I am also experiencing this on my Galaxy S3 phone. BUT, I am not having ANY problems whatsoever on my laptop (also connected via WIFI) I have all port forwarding to my router for google play, and still no go. Reset router, no go. Turned off all devices and restart them, no go. This is the by far the weirdest problem I think I ever had. Oh I also on both devices cleared the cache of google play and even uninstalled updates so it had to redo itself. STILL, no go. I have stock rom on the phone, and SmoothRom v5.0 on the nexus 7. My girlfriends S3 is untouched in the rooting aspect at all and she is even having update problems... Someone PLEASE help !!!!!

[Q] Nexus 7 wont link google accounts in differents apps

hey there.
i got my N7 from Frys Electronics, dope store.
when i turned on the first time, made all the setup, just that i didnt link my google account, when the setup was complete, i decided to open google play store app, it asked me my google account, so i went thru, existing/mail/password/next ... and the final product was, CANT STABLISH A RELIABLE CONNECTION BLA BLA BLA, all the times i tried, i decided to try in chrome app, got the same issue, maps, settings/accounts, and the same problem.
Wifi was on, connected in a network, but the wifi symbol was gray.
I can surf thru chrome in differents pages also watch videos on youtube app, BUT, facebook and twitter gave me a chrome error, 102, cant stablish connection, as well i tried to signed in google play thru chrome app and i got the same issue, cant stablish connection.
update the google play app thru chrome app dowloading the 4.1.10 apk, and i got the same problem.
im running 4.2.2 stock android system, cant figure it out, whats going on.
My network
adsl company router ---> di link 524, i connected the N7 to both wifi signals and the result was the same cant stablish ñaca ñaca. (wifi gray symbol)
So i wonder: My network is the problem, the N7 is busted up, bugs on android. Please help me out guys.
N7
bootloader lock
unroot
android 4.2.2 stock
like a virgin.
of course im a noob, so i cant paste the youtube video showing the problem.
It's the router that is not allowing the Nexus 7 to connect to Google's servers. So that's why the signal is gray.

[Q] LS980 Always Using WIFI Data

Hey everyone. I just bought a used Sprint LG G2 and like the phone overall. I am having a few issues, the most annoying one it seems is that when my phone is on my home wifi it is always downloading/uploading. The arrows are active 99% of the time and the only way I can stop it from transmitting data is to disable wifi and it won't do it over the cellular data network. I have turned off automatic syncing and everything I could think of that would transmit data over wifi on my phone. I tried restoring the firmware back to shipping firmware using flashtools and taking all the OTA updates again, I have tried simply factory resetting it as well and then not downloading any apps or logging into anything and it still seems to persist. This is only on my home internet and I have tried 2 different routers now. I go to a large university with a campus wide wifi network and it doesn't do this when I'm on my school wifi. It also doesn't happen when on a friend of mines home wifi network with a newer Linksys router. I cannot figure out why my home wifi data connection is constantly active. I haven't had this issue with any other phone so it is something to do with the interaction of my phone with network or something.
Wow no one has this issue? That must explain why there isn't a ton of results when I google it.
If you download an app called GSAM Battery Monitor, you should be able to see which app is hogging the wifi.
I have gsam and wasn't aware of this feature. I was using another app that said the system was constantly downloading and uploading about 5kb of data at all times. It has to be something network side since its only on my home wifi but I'm not good with wireless networking if it's not a cell network so I don't even know where to start. I tried restoring both of my routers to stock and it didn't fix it.

WiFi showing "Connected, no Internet" with exclamation mark

Is anyone else having issues with the 6P or just Marshmallow in general of not being able to connect to any wifi?
think that means connected to network but no internet available
Did you try connecting to a different Wifi network and see if you are having the same issue? I did not see an issue. Might be your router or modem is blocking internet access for your device.

Yes, I tried connecting to multiple wifi networks and it's showing the same thing: "connected, no internet". When I try with another device or laptop, it connects fine to all those wifi networks. It's just my Nexus 5 and 6P running Marshmallow.
I searched around and tried to use a static IP, also changed the frequency band from automatic to 2.4 GHz. Nothing works.
Go to Backup and reset and try a reset on network settings and see if that resolves the issue.
OK, this is interesting. I just found out from a colleague of mine (I'm currently traveling in China), that this is basically saying you are connected to the Internet, but just not to any of the Google services. I just checked and it seems everything pretty much works, except I can't access gmail, Facebook, etc. anything that's blocked by the Great Firewall of China.
Dial *#*#4636#*#* on your phone and select phone information & select run ping test and see if it pings google services. It should have been defaulted to Google, atleast it is on myn.
I'm running into the same issue, but I'm in the US. No WiFi network works. And I don't actually have internet.
The odd thing is all my other devices connect to the networks just fine.
I already tried resetting network settings, and rebooting in safe mode, to no avail. I even reset my router to stock and reconfigured.
Anyone else having similar issues?

I have this - and I am in China. Still getting internet, just not the blocked services and data. I can get the google stuff with vpn, but the exclamation and wireless remains. Cheers.

Oh bottom wrong nexus model... I'm sorry... Didn't notice ?
Sorted it... was my wifi... I changed the channel settings to Auto Performance, then back to Auto Compatibility, and all working again now
Wanted to add for what it's worth: I had the exclamation point on any wifi I connected to and fixed the exclamation point by disabling Adblock Plus.
I've been getting the WiFi exclamation point also. Would AdBlock Plus cause that?

yes ad block was causing it for me too.
i disabled ad blocking from the app, froze the app from titanium backup, removed root access to adblockplus from super su and rebooted and everything is working fine now
Same problem here.
Hard reset and nothing.
The weird thing is that in my house works just fine (5 ghz)
Also, google alread knows

Nexus 6p in China
I am in China. 6P wifi / internet hook up worked fine with Comcast in the US. When I arrived in China I could connect to wifi but it reported no internet access. Went to a Huawei store and they tried hooking up to their local wifi. Same thing - no internet access but connection to wifi made. They sent me to a Huawei testing center 10 minutes away. Got there, the same thing. They could connect with their local wifi but no internet interface. Then they told me they had no permissions to work this phone because it was not authorized inside China. I asked if they could research why it the internet won't connect. They put in a Chinese sim card. WHAM - They could log into the wifi and get internet. Next I tried VPN to see if there was some kind of work around but no avail - VPN needs the internet. The best thing I could I could was to call my service provider to bump up my roaming data speed (Be careful about roaming plan you have - cost $$$$). I have minimal internet access through phone but its not blocked - I can get google.
try fixing ur time

Google Play Store Issues on Wifi

I am unable to access the google play store while on wifi on my Nexus 6p (stock rom, not rooted). All other internet enabled apps including browsers, Netflix etc seem to be working fine. The strange thing is that the google play store functions properly while on data.
I tried resetting the phone and also have flashed the stock factory image from google with no luck. I have also played with my wireless router settings and was unsuccessful. Has anyone come across this issue on the Nexus 6p? Is there any log file I can look into to see whats going on?
i've noticed an issue similar to this.
sometimes i'll be on the playstore trying to download an app and it wont work. i can browse and look at all the apps, but the download will not work. toggling wifi on/off or just waiting resolves it though.
strange
