We have a vibrant and a captivate.. When connected via wifi at home, the market and gmail will not connect, but both phones access the internet just fine otherwise.. They connect fine to the market and gmail using 2G or 3G, or other wifi networks..
Can anyone let me know what settings I might adjust on the router to allow connections to gmail or the market on these phones?
Strange thing is I have exactly the same problem, but this only started yesterday. The days before I was able to download several apps via market over wifi, but as of yesterday I can not even see the home screen when on wifi, no problems when on 3G. Tried opening port 5228 TCP and UDP as suggested in an older thread, but that did not work. Something changed at Google?
Update: problem went away by itself 2 days later.
I9000 stock 2.3.3
We have 3 android phones- all with the same problem.. Router is a Netgear WNR2000v3.
Edit-Reset router and the problem continues...
Check the firewall router
There is no firewall A's far A's I know. Just a wireless DSL and a router, and I have not configured any firewall...I reset the router to factory settings and it still won't work....

Try some other wifi area. Is the problem same or not. Maybe it's good to delete APN from settings and let it configure again.
have you tried paying you're cable bill?
seriously.. the phones all connect via other wifi networks just fine. They connect to this router just fine as well.. All internet connectivity is great except anything to do with google's apps.. youtube, maps, gmail, market.. none will work, but google.com on the browser works fine.
I had this problem 2 days ago. I have searched the web a lot for this problem. Now I found 3 solutions that you may wanna try.
1. Clear cache and reset to factory. Don't skip the sign in on google account. Sign in immediately! (had not worked for me though!)
2. Check your firewall settings. Especially, I used my laptop as a hotspot source with virtual wifi router(ht_tp://ww_w.virtualwifirouter.com/). I have tried connectify and virtual router, but they had problems on my laptop, while VWR is simple and effective! (I still couldn't connect to market and youtube at that moment though! Very very frustrated!)
3. I read someone said he tried to set the parameters of his mobile network manually, and it worked for him. I didn't expect much on this method but did give it a try. OMG! It worked! What's worth to notice is that I found that the instruction provided on my operator's website (Orange.fr) is actually a little bit different from the settings the phone automatically loaded.

Hope it works for you guys!
I had same problem but reset of router helped...
You know what, I think it's the operator or google's dirty trick. For no obvious reason, I am blocked out of market again with wifi. I can surf on porn sites with wifi but no luck on market and google's stuff!

One more thing to add: Use static IP address for your wifi connection! Mine was not stable with automatic address!

Try to forward the ports needed for google, 5228 i think, that helped my cappy a little bit, try clearing all your networks, see if that helps. Google around for captivate wifi problems, hundreds of threads with lots of solutions.

I did try forwarded the ports for one of the phone, problem is there are three.. And port forwarding didn't work, neither did resetting the router, or resetting it to defaults, and they all had a static ip...Still no good..
If familiar with wireshark, try setting up on a computer, connecting to market with phone and see what u get. Maybe packets being blocked, hard to say.
I got my 7.7 yesterday. All is working great, but about every 30 minuttes of use, the WLAN-connection hangs. The WLAN-icon stays lit, but the tab is not able to send/receive data. To get it to work again, I have to disable WLAN and then enable again. It then works for about 30 more minuttes.
I have not installed any task-killers or battery-enhancers etc..
The router is a D-Link DIR 555. I use several PCs and Phones on the same router without losing connections ever. Encryption-type is WPA2.
Any ideas?
Bro here is the same problem really confusing me evrytime the wlan disconnects.
Have you checked that your WLAN settings do not put the tablet wifi to sleep ?
Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Wi-Fi settings -> Wi-Fi sleep policy
I'm having the same problem here, and my wifi policy is set to never, so when that happens I have to turn off/on wifi.. not good!.
I have the LTE version, but am running it without a data plan. I have the same issue with WIFI. The connection will hang after 30min to an hour of use. It is VERY annoying. I ran Speedtest, and i get an interesting result, over wifi i get a very fast download speed (15+Mb/s) but my upload totally hangs. It just sits there. On the same wifi, with my Galaxy Nexus, i have no problem with download or upload.
I've seen several threads across the internet about the problem, and no one seems to really know why. Some people say you need to change settings in your router, and it isnt the Galaxy 7.7's fault, but, i don't know if I buy that. I have the same problem at the Airport, and, i cannot exactly go and change the router config there. I am hoping that there will be an update to the firmware for the wireless radio, either separate or with ICS.
WIFI Problems Solved!!!
Hi,
I had the annoying wifi problem. It would work really fast for a few minutes and decide to stop working all of a sudden.
I fixed the problem by setting the maximum Router output to 54mbps G. Seems like the galaxy tab 7.7 does not like the N settings.
Now it works flawlessly and I will just use it at G speeds until Samsung provides an update. (I really do not notice the difference in speeds between G and N. Just the peace of mind that it will work every time.)
I hope that solves some of the other users' problems.

Same problem here on gtab 10.1, 7plus and note :S something wrong with samsung drivers
Sent from my GT-P7500 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
Hey everyone. I just recently picked up this tablet. Its the Verizon 4G version, but 4G isnt active right now so Im using WiFi only.
I can connect to wifi no problem, but as soon as I launch the play store the wifi drops. If I exit, go into the settings for the play store, etc... WiFi turns back on.
Any ideas?
Anyone? Ive noticed now that it seems to be happening using browser or opera too. Last night I powered te tablet off, rebooted my router and fired the tablet back up and it seemed to work for a bit. Im not too keen on having to do this each time, however.
Haven't experienced this at all. Try a wipe? Clear play store data? <-- doubt that would help but who knows.
Well the fact that its extended beyond the play store and into browsers bugs me.
I performed a wipe - no success. I started googling galaxy tab wireless issues and there are posts everywhere, but most were for the 10.1 tab it seems.
Interestingly enough, if I switch to 5GHz on my dual band router, it seems to work fine... but the 5GHz signal is so weak that the tab randomly drops it. It seems to be the 2.4GHz band that being a pain in the neck.
Interestingly enough, my old iPad has no issues with either band in any applications.
Wifi Issue
I just received my galaxy tab7.7 2 days ago and it seems that I'm also having the same problem. After reading online I realised that certain routers don't work well with it. I am not sure about the exact problem but next day I connected my tab to university network and it worked absolutely fine. I don't know if there are certain models which are having this problem or if all 3G versions have this issue. But I may write it up to samsung later to find out more. You can download an app e.g, Speedtest.net from google market and check if your network does work with it or not.
I use intel my-wifi to connect it to my laptop's network, it works fine for first few minutes but then my-wifi shows that tab isn't connect to it anymore whereas my tab shows it's connected to the inernet but doesn't open any page, email etc.
no such behavior from my tablet in last 45 days or so .
try factory setting ....

I've already tried it a number of times but no improvement.....
I was having Wifi issues on the 6P. Connected to home wifi but no internet. The thing is, the wifi would still work randomly. It's possible that it works most of the time but as soon as I go out somewhere and out of the home wifi range, it sometimes messes up when it tries to reconnect to the network.
And yes, I realize it may not be a phone issue but maybe the router (Asus N66U with Tomato firmware).
/edit - well, I spoke too soon and I guess it's not the static IP causing the wifi issues.
It turns out it was a firewall app called AFWall+
Might want to update the title then. Although I do have that issue where when I get home i have to turn off/on wifi on my phone to get a connection.

I remembered I had set a static IP for the 6P earlier in the week so I thought I'd try to see if that was the culprit. The moment I disabled the static IP, I got internet connectivity on the 6P again. The thing is, the wifi did work earlier in the day and even the week, even with the static IP. It's possible that it works most of the time but as soon as I go out somewhere and out of the home wifi range, it sometimes messes up when it tries to reconnect to the network.

Are you still having issues or did you find a fix? I am having the exact same problem with the exact same router.

It's hard to say. This problem seems to be random. I haven't experienced it today. The only change I've made is update Cataclysm and ElementalX to the newest versions after installing the latest Android security updates. I can't guarantee I won't experience the problem again since it was happening on and off before.
No amount of disabling wifi and restarting my 6P would get internet connectivity back when the problem is happening. It just seems to start working again randomly. Is that what happens to you too?

I can't really explain it. It says I am connected to WiFi, and speedtest still works along with web browsing most of the time. But the main thing that doesn't work is my google account syncing (so emails wont appear, or delete from ym account when I do so in the app) as well as the play store not downloading or updating apps. I keep seeing issues with 5ghz, so I am gonna try connecting to my 2.4ghz as well as setting the wifi to 2.4 only, as of right now it is working. But its like you said random, and when it does happen restarting is no help. I also just set my phone to use a static ip as I heard that helped some people. I just found it weird that you have the same router and had issues.
Im on Pure Nexus with ElementalX latest update, don't have the latest security patch though.
Its only my Nexus 6p, and it seems I have no issues when I am on my girlfriends wifi. SO I am hoping the 2.4 and static IP solve it, however that sucks cause I want to use my 5ghz, as there are less devices and I get a more solid connection.
I found out it wasn't a problem with the phone or 6.0.1 at all. It was due to a firewall app called AFWall+. I figured it out when I realized internet connectivity would return when I disabled it.
Now, you might think that the app should have been one of the more obvious causes. That's true... but I had it set to Blacklist mode to only block certain apps. Internet wasn't working system wide and it only occurred on Wifi whereas LTE worked fine. So, uninstalling it seems to have fixed the problem and it hasn't happened since. Perhaps it's an issue with systemless root.
Hoping the community can help me troubleshoot this issue I'm having... on a new S10+ (SM-G975W) running OneUI 2.0 Android v10. I cannot seem to figure out why apps like DAZN, Sleeper, Pluto, Microsoft News, etc. all run extremely slow (if at all) using my home network wifi. I can literally open an app and it won't even load while I'm on my own wifi, however once I turn my wifi off and use data it loads instantly. Every time. When I'm on away wifi networks (work office, friends places, etc) it works perfectly. Other devices on my home wifi network work perfectly using wifi. Other apps on my phone seem to work without any issue while on wifi (insta, youtube, brave/chrome, google news, etc)... so the wifi certainly does work on this phone; I can do speed tests on fast.com and using the speedtest app and get great results.
I've tried:
- toggling between 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks
- resetting network settings on phone
- resetting network settings on my router (EA 7500 V2)
- forgetting/restarting rejoining wifi network
- hard resetting my router
- toggling various power mode options from high performance to optimized to medium
None of these have worked. I can't seem to figure this out. Does anyone have any ideas for what I can try to do to resolve this - it's driving me mad.
Any help here? Wrong place?
Maybe you could try to change channel of 2.4GHz and 5GHz wifi in your router. If it's possible, try tu put DNS of your IPS in router. Or try to change router for another one for test.
Thanks for the help... I have tried toggling betwwwn 2.4 and 5ghz settings. I will look up what the DNS would be and try that. Router seems fine - worked / works with everything else..it seems the issue is on my phone.
When I put my phone in airplane mode then take it off, the wifi works well for a.period of time. Then, it stops again.
There is "wifi saver" in settings. Try to yurn that off

Do you know of any? I cant find any to turn off.
Also, I have now hard reset both my router and my phone, still the same issue. DAZN wont even load on wifi. Works on other devices' wifi on the same network. Works with cellular data instantly.
Could it be my ISP that's blocking certain types of traffic?
The behaviour is so weird, for most apps it takes 20ish seconds before the wifi 'kicks in' and starts working. I have no throttling or other apps installed.
It also doesnt load certain online streams. Some work, but some dont, and if i switch to cellular they work perfectly.
PlutoTV is another app / stream that simply does not work while using wifi, but works using cellular.
So in summary:
- S10+ DAZN and PlutoTV apps definitely do not work over 5ghz wifi connection
- other phones using same apps on same wifi networks work pefectly
- I've hard-resetted my phone and router and it's still not solving the issue
so... what in the heck could this be?
Is the WiFi-Safe Mode enabled in the developer settings? If yes, try to disable it.
FYI - figured it out. By disabling IPv6 on my router it solved my issues. Hope this helps someone else in my situation.

Dude! You Rock! I've been trying to solve this conundrum for years. I never could figure out why apps would run better on slower cellular, than they would on fast wifi. This has made my streaming perfect. No more buffering. Thank you

Thankyou, was having weird behaviour on all android devices on my new ISP, disabling IPv6 on the router helped. Really interesting it seemed to affect only android (S23, S21, Google Home and Shield TV) but not windows, IOS or Mac.
