Apps Will Not Update Over Wifi - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since the latest Jan security patch, my apps will not update over wifi at home. It keeps saying downloading for ever. The moment I turn wifi off, apps download just fine on 4g.
Nexus 6p all stock and on Jan security patch. Anyone else having this issue?
I have reset my router twice and still nothing.

That's weird. My apps still update normally through wifi. Do you have any other (Android) device to check if the problem belongs to 6P or router?

My Samsung tab s2 is on auto update and been updating just fine. Very strange. My router didn't change and I have done nothing to it for years. Also, wifi works just fine on the phone, it's just updating apps. Very strange.
May be it's the Play store app itself. I'm on Build 6.0.5

Never mind the app build. The one I have on my Samsung tab s2 is also build 6.0.5
I also cleared app and phone cache and nothing. Still same issue.

How about installing apps? Is it normal? Because (correct me I'm wrong) the app-updating mechanism should be similar to the app-installing one. If it's not your router's problem and you've tested it on other devices, the fault must be on your 6P's Play Store. My suggestion is you try to wipe phone cache through fastboot and try again. If the problem persists, contact Google Support.

Installing apps does not download either on wifi. I just cleared cache through Fastboot and still nothing. Urrggggh, something changed. Always worked until the upgrade.

No HTC Weather auto update after System 1.84.832.2 update

After updating the system to 1.84.832.2, HTC Weather cannot update information via mobile network. An error message stated: "The connection dropped while your weather information was downloading...." HTC Weather can obtain update weather information via wifi network without problem.
Other weather widgets can auto update via mobile network within set interval without problem except HTC Weather. Any body has the same issue after system update in your area?
I have searched in Google there is another post in GSMArena DHD review another user reported on 23 Mar 2011 faced the same issue after system update:
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire_hd-reviews-3468.php
Really wonder only a few unlucky user can't update the weather information after this system update.
Damn, I can confirm I'm also having this problem, just checked mine now and the last time it updated was the time I updated my software yesterday. When I go into the weather app now it won't update.
EDIT, the version I'm on is 1.84.110.3
EDIT, contacted HTC and they said to fix this I must wipe my phone, guess I'm not going to have any weather updates until the next update is released.

Hi there I've got the same problem Ive reset the phone still got the same problem wot a pain so I would think if would need another software update
I'm having the same problem. At first I thought it was just difference between my mobile provider and my wifi at home. (The great firewall messes with things very unevenly).
Definately started after the lasted update. In fact I feel like I'm having gprs/edge issues a lot more since the update.
Wifi is fine though.
I'm having the same ISSUE TOO!~ what's HTC doing? keep calling us to wipe our phone to solve problems... don't they have engineers to fix the customer's problems?
Me too with the same problem. I am with UK TMobile, standard ROM, and weather updates stopped dead after the OTA update.
Strangely, weather updates work if I am logged into my home wifi network.
Not impressed.
Its been an absolute nightmare and Tmobile dont want to do anything.. think a root is coming.. lol..

Don't trust on hard reset the DHD can fix this issue since I have done that on day one and the weather still does not auto update. It has to be fixed by HTC via another patch to the latest system update.
Same problem as mine.
"Connection dropped ... blah blah blah" keeps appearing while trying to update weather via mobile network (2G/3G)
WiFi works fine though.
I use DHD in thailand and updated to 1.84 a week ago.
No weather problem
My self not facing any problem on the update 1.84.832.2.
My weather update is functioning in good condition.
I can confirm that, at least in my case, a factory reset fixed the problem.
or maybe its fixed on their end at the same time as I did a reset...
My weather doesnt work either.
I'll wait for a fix. Not going to reset.
I can update the main weather using WiFi, but the "news&weather" app refuses to work.

Same for me after OTA - no weather update. Rubbish.
IT WORKS AGAIN!
Not sure how. I tried downloading another weather app 'aix weather' (or something). That installed but couldn't locate it to run it, so I removed it.
Tried my news&weather on WiFi and it worked. So I disconnect and tried on 3g, and it still works!

Interesting, I think I will try this later.
EDIT. I tried this and it did not work. On another note I've been updating my weather on my phone via WiFi and I've noticed that its predictions are far different to that of http://uk.weather.com/ Which one is wrong ?
"Android News and Weather" and "HTC News" can update via mobile data but "HTC Weather" can only update via wifi connection. Hard reset did not fix HTC Weather update via mobile data connection.
HTC said there was nothing wrong with the update... and suggested I reset again which didn't help.
They suggested to contact my network provider.. which again was load of crap...
I ended up flashing a stock Rom and believe me guys I love my phone even more since.. battery life is far better in the stock Rom

I'm not facing the problems. At time of reading this post, the HTC weather app just updated itself.
Could it be a problem at the HTC end and they fixed it already?

[Q] Package File is Invalid - No mentioned fixes working for me

I got my Nexus 4 today, and I've been pretty excited since.. So far, it's worked flawlessly everywhere except for when I need to download something from the play store.
Almost every download results in "Package File is Invalid"
I googled for hours, literally. I wiped data/cache of Google Play Store, Services Framework, wiped Cache from the stock recovery, and even factory resetted the phone to no avail.
I'm guessing it's a problem with my home's router setting. Everything works fine on my nexus except for the play store. Haven't gotten a chance to mess with other wifis yet, but can anyone tell me a way of fixing it?
If it doesn't work by tomorrow, I might run a custom ROM and try, though I really wanna stick with stock till 4.3/5.0 comes out :\
Any help?
Login to the Playstore from a PC and make sure your N4 is listed on your account. Also, try and install an app on your phone from there.
What happens if you try to install an app with Wi-Fi off (Mobile Data)? This could rule out an issue with your router or ISP.

It works fine on 3G for me. It's not a ROM issue since I tried it on stock, PA, and now CM10.1.
However, very small apps download without issues. I think the cap is around 5 mb above which the error shows up.
I'm 100% sure it's my router's settings that seem to be working against the nexus. Any idea what I could do?
I absolutely LOVE the fluidity of this phone (coming from a single core phone running a buggy JB rom) but this is killing me!!
The worst thing is, all the workarounds that I've read about since yesterday work for few, but not all people. And there are lots of workarounds. I've tried all that I've read but nothing's working :\

What router (Make / Model) is it?
Check for a router firmware update. If there are no updates or support, check if it is supported by DD-WRT.
Try doing a factory reset on the router, then set the security settings to (WPA2 only / AES only) and use the Android app WiFi Analyzer to find the best channel.

It's a DLink router.. No updates available
I reset it yesterday and put WPA2 but it hasn't solved the problem still :\
Wifi analyzer told me channel 6 onwards were good, so I tried 6 and 7 but didn't help either
I've had to download apk's for all the free apps to make it work as of now
I'll check with my mom and dad's phone to see if this problem exists for them too, but they're running gingerbread so idk if it'll mean much even if it works

First I would return to stock ROM. A custom ROM could have it's own WiFi issues.
As for the router, the only other suggestions I can make are;
test it in unsecured mode (open Wi-Fi access)
force 802.11G (disable B and N access)
lower the MTU from 1500 to 1480
disable uPnP
disable (or enable) WMM support.
disable any content filtering (like blocking java, proxies, etc).
Changing these options one at a time and see if any one fixes your issue.
Use VPN
Has been occurring a lot lately. Well, not a fancy fix but a simple one ..... use hotspot shield to connect and then all files install normally over wifi. Don't know why it does, but it works!
I have had "package file is invalid" issues with my Nexus 4 and my home WiFi connection from day 1 of owning a Nexus 4. I have tested it on 4 different WiFi Routers with different firmwares including stock and DD-WRT.
- Linksys WRT320N Dual Band (With Stock and DD-WRT Firmware).
- Linksys WRT160N V3. (Stock and DD-WRT)
- Tenda N60. (Stock "2012-12-12 V1.0.0.16_EN" and newer variants).
- ASUS RT-N66U "Dark Knight".
Tested 2.4ghz and 5ghz, varrious combinations of WEP,WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA2-AES. It makes no difference the ONLY router from the above 4 that works correctly when downloading over WiFi from the Play Store is the Tenda N60 using the early release stock firmware "2012-12-12 V1.0.0.16_EN" that the router is shipped with. Even with the Tenda N60 if yuo upgrade the firmware to newer releases of stock firmware it will cause the issue to return.
Now this is an issue specific to the Nexus 4, I also have a Nexus 7, Samsung Galaxy S3, HTC Desire, Huawei Ascend G300. None of these devices have this issue using any of the router or firmware revisions. i.e: I can download from Google Play over the same WiFi connection with no problems.
I have had my Nexus 4 swapped for a replacment and the issue remains. So I've come to the conclusion that it's defintiely device specific the Nexus 4 has something inherently wrong with it..whether it's WiFi Drivers, Android Kernel, WiFi Chipset I dont know.
It doesnt affect all WiFi conenctions I can use my WiFi connectiona t work and the issue doesnt occur. It's strange that the cheapest router of the 4 I ahve tested i.e: The Tenda N60 is the only one that works consitently, I have never seen the "package file is invalid" issue using this router and Tenda firmware "2012-12-12 V1.0.0.16_EN".
This basically rules out any ISP, or WiFi security settingas as I used the same SSID, Security types and Network Key on the Tenda as the other 3 routers..
Poor show by Google, they obviously dont care about fixing this issue.
So your router having an issue is a Google problem? Well done coming to that conclusion...
For what it's worth, I have no such issues with my home router (Thomson) or my work WiFi network (no idea what router we have here but it's probably a Linksys/Cisco jobby)

Ermm...you might want to read that last post again, 4 different routers from different manufactuirers with different WiFi Chipsets (Linksys x 2, Tenda, ASUS) tested with stock and 3rd party firmwares all exhibit the same issue with the Nexus 4. Where as NO other android device or any other WiFi device on my network including a Nexus 7 with the same version android version as my Nexus 4 (4.2.2 ), connected via the same routers have any issues, even side by side downloading the same app from the Play store at the same time the others will suceed the Nexus 4 will fail the download "package file is invlalid" which sounds like a data corrption issue.
Co-incdecne thats it's only the Nexus 4 that has these issues ? I highly doubt 4 different routers are all faulty...especially since it's only the Nexus 4 that has this issue.
If you check the google code pages you'll find several other people complaining of the same issue.

All I'm saying is the 2 routers I use most have no issues and neither does the one my parents, my local pub or any of my friends. Might be a UK thing, I don't know, but I've never had a problem on WiFi at all...

I agree with that, maybe it's even a particular hardware batch of N4's, not sure. I can use my N4 fine on my work WiFi and other locations. Like I said it does work on my home WiFi if I use The Tenda N60 router with it's early release stock firmware, any firmware upgrades cause the problem to return though. But it cant be right that you should have to use a specific router and specific firmware which you cant upgrade without breaking the N4.
I've got another support case open with Google Play which they've apparently passed to their techs, lets see what they come back with... I have heard of someone with this issue using a custom ROM with a different Kernel to the Google stock build which includes newer Qualcomm Prima WiFi drivers (Paranoid Android) , they claim this fixes the issue for them.
Im relectant to flash a custom ROM and void warranty though for a basic feature that should work out of the box though.
I tried a lot of different things but nothing seems to have worked sadly.. I'm gonna update my ROM tomorrow to CM10RC4 and see if that helps, though I doubt it's the ROM's fault. Btw, I had the same issue with the stock ROM too
I've been having this problem whenever my portable wifi device connects to a slow mobile network. All my friends connect to my hotspot, but only my Nexus 4 gets the "Package file is invalid." error. For months, I've had to contend with switching to mobile data just to finish my downloads.
My only conclusion is that the Nexus 4 has a problem with slow connections over wifi by corrupting the data transmitted. It's fine when using mobile data.

It requires the phone to be rooted. I'm already testing it out now.
I cant verify 100% yet but my Nexus 4 took the Android 4.3 OTA update yesterday. I have since tried several WiFi downloads over WiFI from the Google Play store and not a single one has failed !
So my intitial thoughts are that the Android 4.3 update has recolved this issue..and it was indeed a bug/fault in the previous versions maybe it's the new kernel, Qualcomm Prima WiFi drivers, New Google Play app... But whatever it is. It seems to have fixed the issue. Well done Google about time too !
The only down point is the denial of any issue their end from Google Play staff and blatant lies they tell customers about not knowing about such bugs.

Ironically, the 4.3 update on my Nexus 4 yesterday actually seemed to trigger the Package File is Invalid error, as it wasn't a problem before. MX Player and Jetpack Joyride are triggering this for me atm. Anyone else still have this on Android 4.3?

Having the same issues on all of my devices, but only while trying to download on my home wi-fi. Like the OP said, anything over 5mb won't download. Droid Razr M, Droid Razr HD, Note 10.1, Tab 2 10.1, and Nexus 7 (running 4.3), I cannot figure out what changed on my Belkin router (AC900) to cause this to happen suddenly. It was just noticed last night, and I have spent hours today trying to find a fix, and creating more problems to fix. If anyone has any step by step instructions of how to fix this, please explain to me like you would a 6 year old. BTW, rooting is not an option of all of these devices, so please make it a root free option. And I have cleared all caches/datas and done all the force stops recommended, as well as removed the google accounts and readded them.

Nexus 4 5.1 Stock does reconnect to mobile data after disconnect from wifi network

Hi all,
This is my issue:
I'm 2 hours connected to a wifi network, I leave home or work and my nexus 4 does reconnecting with mobile data.

I had CM12 and Chroma. The same error. I'm back to Stock Rom [5.1] from Google Factory image [clean] and issue persists.
Can you help me please?

Hmmmm. I think it was with the 4-10 version that I had the issue, and it may have been resolved with the 4-14 version. I just installed the 4-17 version, but haven't checked if the issue returned. I would try upgrading Chroma, if that is what you are still running.

I'm going to reinstall all apps in my n4 for now with stock ROM. I installed all updates from 4.2.2 image factory with OTA's up to 5.1, to night I still with wifi connection, if tomorrow the issue persists, I will install chroma again.
I got this problem too. I was running chroma, Cm12 and now euphoria and problem is still here. Full wipe doesn't work. In addition to the problems with reconnection I have also huge problem with msm_hsic_host wakelock and I think both problems are related to each other. I'll try different kernels, maybe it will work.

I installed stock kernel, and franco kernel. Same result.
My wife has Installed OTA yesterday and remains in wifi all night, today all works fine in her Nexus 4. In my Nexus 4 don't work.
Differences:
Wife: N4 8GB with simyo carrier
Me: N4 16GB with tuenti carrier
Any Ideas?
It seems that the problem occurs only when when you leave the WiFi area, and the phone loses its range. Its not switching connection. When you are connected to wifi and you try to turn it off manually (quick settings etc), it will switch to mobile data connection without problems.

is not it, when I spend three hours on wifi, manual transmission does not work. I put the SIM of another carrier works. Is an error with this SIM and this version of Android.
Hi gruncho,
I have exactly the same problem, also with a Nexus 4 from day 1 after installing 5.1. Mine has been installed OTA, having previously 5.0.1. My carrier is pepephone (now using Movistar) which I think is the same as tuenti, the one you have.
I reconnect without problems by changing between 2G / 3G or by selecting Airplane Mode On / Off.
If anyone knows a less manual solution or something I could try please tell.
Thanks a lot
Same issue here on stock 5.1, only reboot helps. Airplane mode, switching radio off, switching cellular data off and on doesn't help.
Can anyone provide some information how to fix this? Would be very grateful.
I flashed chroma rom 4-21. It is based on Android 5.1.1. The issue is solved on this version. I will use this rom until stock 5.1.1 launch.

If you have the phone rooted, you can install Trigger and create a task that activate airplane mode and deactivate that in a few seconds when you leave any wifi network. I tried this, but in my case, with an android wear device, the watch disconnects every time I leave my home or job wifi.
Hi,
Keeping my fingers crossed for the problem to be solved for everyone in 5.1.1
I thought about creating a task in Tasker that activated airplane mode and deactivated it in a few seconds later after leaving a wifi, but my experience with Tasker is almost null.
I found an application which seems to be working for me. Its name is WifiFixerFree and what it does is trigger a mobile connection for a few seconds, while still connected to wifi.
You can configure the connection interval. I have it set for every 15 minutes and it doesn't seen to drain a lot of battery. By default it shows a lot of notifications, but you can disable all them in one of the configuration screens.
Cannot yet post external links, but the application is in Google Play so it is easy to find from that name.
I installed the application yesterday and the problem has not repeated itself.

Hi,
Keeping my fingers crossed for the problem to be solved for everyone in 5.1.1
I thought about creating a task in Tasker that activated airplane mode and deactivated it in a few seconds later after leaving a wifi, but my experience with Tasker is almost null.
I found an application which seems to be working for me. Its name is WifiFixerFree and what it does is trigger a mobile connection for a few seconds, while still connected to wifi.

When you enter the app, check "Use auto reconnect" and set a trigger interval of N minutes (I wrote 15).
Press the button "Configure notifications" and uncheck the first option: "Show events in notification bar"
I just did that and since then (yesterday afternoon) I have had no more problems of losing the mobile data connection. During the last weekend and on Friday I had those problems every time I left home / work because the phone lost the wifi and so I lost the mobile data.

Thanks so much, tomorrow I will try this.
Today after flashing the kernel that come with chroma rom again, seems works. :good::good::good:
Same issue here, but I came from a Nexus 4 5.0.1 with LTE enabled.
The problem ocurrs when changing to data after too many hours in Wi-Fi connection (turning Wi-Fi off or leaving the Wi-Fi area).
I installed OTA Android 5.1, then the problem started.
I tried to install stock Android 5.1 factory image (with full wipe), but the problem still persist.
I executed the nexus-4-lte-enabler-v2.12-2.13-UNINSTALLER.zip thinking it's a related issue, but the problem still persists.
Waiting for Android 5.1.1...
I have Pepephone (Movistar) and I'm still using the manual workaround of turning airplane mode on/off or switching some data network setting to regain data connection.
Can anyone provide some information how to fix this?
Thanks a lot.

Galaxy S8 WiFi issues after Oreo update

Hi,
I just received the Oreo update for my S8 and everything seemed fine from the start. It didnt take long though when
I noticed that the WiFi was acting weird. Even though I had great connection to my modem, my WiFi performance
was extremely poor. The two arrows beside the WiFi logo in the status bar only showed upload and no download when I
tried to open a website. I tried forgeting the network but it only seemed to work momentarily. So I rebooted my modem and
hoped that it would solve the problem. Rebooting the modem only worked momentarily too. I will be checking later if this issue
continues with other WiFi networks.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Same problem with My S8 after Oreo. Occasionally the !-mark next to wifi-symbol and the connecton is lost. By restarting the wifi-router or renewing the wifi connection from the phone fixes this for some time, until it happens again.
This fixed it for me
Mine was doing the same but noticed I could stay connected to a older router I use as an extender so changed my wifi security on my main router from wpa2-aes to the older wpa and it's been fine ever since stays connected on 2.4 and 5 now
Is there a fix for this yet? I just downloaded the newest update they rolled out today, 4/3/2018 and I still cannot send email if I am connected to my wifi. It tells me "couldn't send" and it sits there until I turn off my wifi and use my data. This is ridiculous. My wifi connection is fine. I should not have to turn off wifi every time I want to send an email. So frustrated. Why roll out another update so quickly if not to fix the issues the March update caused????
I am also a an S8 user and noticed my wifi dropping connections throughout the day and reconnecting. This has occurred ever since Oreo update. I have tried all the possible fixes and none of them seem to work. I have sent my phone to Samsung for a repair and they have useless approved centres that lie about fixing the phone. I have sent it back. Lets see what happens. Worst case scenario I will have to install Nougat as it was working fine on this version.
Same here ! =(
Same problem
Sporadic exclamation mark on the WiFi icon
and poor performance .
Opened another thread on too many open ports.
Used sockstat and too many ports are listening.
Me too
(ROM France : XEF)
Did you guys notice this after the Oreo update or on Nougat as well?
I’m having this problem since the Oreo update too. I have to turn the WiFi off and on several times a day to fix it. When attempting to use WiFi, no pages etc will load and then eventually a ! Symbol appears next to the WiFi icon. Only fix is to turn WiFi on and off. It’s very annoying!
Exact same issue. Started occurring right after oreo update
Have you guys complained to Samsung about this? as making noise to them will rectify your faults eventually.
Same here, WiFi unreliable since Oreo. I need to restart the network to make a WiFi call and that isn't always a reliable fix. I started a chat with T-Mob on FB and gave up. They're clueless. Samsung S8+
Hello same issu, I'm from France an online the forum in France an Germany many people have this problem.
I read somewhere to delete the wireless connection from your device and then re-add. I'm not ready to say it fixed things but the WiFi does seem more stable.
UPDATE - Sorry to say there are still issues. Oh well, it gave me hope for a brief moment!
Go to settings- General management- Reset- Reset network settings- Then confirm and restart the phone. After re add your wifi networks. That fixed it for me
Update: It turned out that it didn't work for me... it looks like i may have to try and factory reset as it feels like i have tried everything else :crying:

T-Mobile just had be clear the cache from the "boot level" menus. Let me see if that fixes anything before trying yet something further. THANKS!
PS - clearing the cache did fix the problem I was having with the TX Lottery app. After the OREO update it would no longer scan the ticket barcodes. It's working again!

Same for me!!

S10+ Installing apps over Wi-Fi

Hi, guys!
I think i am experiencing a problem with the wifi on my s10 plus (g9750 variant). For some reason every time i try to download an app from google play it hangs on "Downloading..." for a while then starts the download (which is fast) and then the last bit of data is slow again. Also, some of the apps which require internet during startup (i.e. logging in or sth like that) take a long time to do it. I must mention that this doesnt happen at all while using 4G (you'd expect problems with 4g when using a HK variant in Europe but it isnt the case). I tried clearing cache and data for both google play and download manager, wiped system cache, looked into wifi settings and everything seemed ok but no results so far. The wifi network works as intended as i am using a s7 edge too and that one has no such problems. Any help would be much appreciated.
Solved it, for some reason i had to reboot the home router.
