[Q] My Quantum's marketplace hates WiFi.

Basically two things going on here. I know the phone can use WiFi just fine (works for data without having a SIM card in the phone), but when trying to use the marketplace, apparently it requires there to be a cellular data connection. Is this a bug or a feature?
Also on a similar note, I've purchased a couple games that are too large to download over the cellular network, and the phone tells me to either connect the phone to WiFi, or connect it to my computer to download the app. When I connect to WiFi, go into the market to start the download, it still tells me I need to connect to WiFi. Plugging it into my computer doesn't really do much other than open Zune, and I can't find a way to redownload purchased apps, it just says I've already bought the app.
Anybody else have similar issues or have any suggestions on how to get around this?

Remove from download and get it again

I had that issue. Once you have bought the app/game, you don't have to pay for it again. Taking this into consideration, you can safely cancel or remove the app from the download list, search for it and hit buy. It will notify you that you have already bought the app, and if you wish to install it again. Agree to do so and it should download fine (over wifi) without any hiccups.
I have installed a couple of apps over zune but it's just way too complicated, really leaving it to chance. Sometimes it'll install, but most times it won't.
Hope this helps.

Hey,
I just picked up a quantum myself and I'm having this exact same problem, I can't download apps through wifi. Mine is not unlocked yet so I haven't had the chance to test it with 3G.
Have you found a fix for it yet?

I've been downloading apps using cellular data...?
However not huge games, just normal apps. Although I tried to download one game last night and it said please connect to wifi, but that's been the only one.

So after using the marketplace app with my cellular data it seems as though I can download apps and games in the marketplace with wifi.
Weird it seems to work normally now.
Maybe there is some sort of authentication step or something that happens once you access the market with your cellular data.

as far as the wifi problems. Its windows... inherently, its still glitchy. Turn it off n right back on n it works for me doing that.
Also as far as apps that say you already have em? Uninstall it, then it will let you do it. delete it and uninstall it. Or worst case, if you REALLY want it, sync, format n resync.

[Q] PlayStore and Gmail won't work with WIFI

Good morning,
For my Galaxy S4, my Gmail and Playstore apps are not connecting when I turn WIFI on. They will only work with 3G/4G data. Everything else works fine except apps that require a Google account. Browser works fine with WIFI. Games that require a connection work fine with WIFI. Whatsapp works fine with WIFI. Pretty much everything except Google works fine with WIFI.
I have tried:
Disabling the firewall.
Clearing Google Play cache and data
Clearing Gmail cache and data
Deleting my Google account from my phone and starting over
Deleting Google Play Store app and installing a new one from a .apk file.
None of the above has worked. Everything was connected fine with WIFI until about 2 weeks ago. Not sure what happened. Any suggestions?
Thanks

It's a Google issue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44555985

Thanks. So basically, we just have to wait until Google comes up with a solution.

No, it's because you bought an s4.

Are you rooted and on a custom rom. Only had this issue on GE/Aosp. Have you tried reformatting your sdcards. Carefully and correctly of course.
Yours problem sounds different if you are not getting the Package Failed message--

I'm rooted and still with the stock rom. Do you mean formatting the external sdcard? That one is empty. Or did you mean doing a factory reset?

Thought about formatting internal card. Back it up first. Something I do when all else fails. Still may be the Google issue others are having. I read something about clearing caches and data like you did to include Google framework. Then reboot to recovery and clear both caches. Then reboot.

Just did a Wipe Data/ Factory reset from Recovery and still nothing. Google just refuses to connect when WIFI is turned on.

Factory Reset your router and set it back up.

I had done that previously and it's not the router. I didn't work with any WIFI connection.
I just fixed it by installing a brand new firmware from this page: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/. I think my phone might have had a messed up version because my Baseband version was different from the ones on that page by 1 letter. So I just picked one close enough and flashed it and it works now. Still don't know how Google not wanting to connect with WIFI on is related to having a different Baseband version of Android, but it works so I'm happy.

bro you are gonna thank me for this

New router, not Facebook app doesn't work

So I replaced my old reliable WRT54GL router running Tomato firmware with a new Asus RT-N66U router with RMerlin's modified stock firmware, everything is working fine... The only odd issue is my Nexus 4 on Beanstalk talks to it and every thing works, except the Facebook app, about 50% of the time it just its there saying "updating" all the time, toggle off WiFi and it connects to mobile data and happily updates, toggle back and it fails, but everything else on the phone works fine (G+. Tapatalk, Hangouts, Play Store, Spotify, Youtube, etc). To make it even stranger, sometimes it works with no issues.
Any ideas, I know this might not be the most appropriate to ask, but I don't know where else to start.

It's an app related issue. Try clear cache and data of Facebook app then restart the app. You will have set up your account again once cache and data are cleared.

I was a little skeptical when I read this, but did it anyway, and it seems to have corrected the problem... Thanks!!!

[Q] [SOLVED] Apps not working with wifi but no issue through browser or 4g

So I updated to NC1 and rooted and went on with my ricing as usual but I ran into this unusual problem after about a week. Keep in mind I did not change any settings anytime close to before this happened. Apps like Facebook, Twitter, eBay, Paypal, and even the Play Store stopped working over wifi but others did such as my chanu, Craigslist, email, etc. If I go to Twitter, Facebook, eBay, etc. through Firefox everything works properly but not in the apps themselves. If I disable wifi everything works fine off of 4g.
Here are some of the things I tried in order
- rebooted device
- cleared cache of applications with issues
- booted into recovery cleared my whole cache partition
- uninstalled apps but even Play Store wont work over wifi so I had to load it up in Firefox then reinstalled
- forgot wifi network and re connected
- restarted modem
- tried with the internet at my sisters house when I was over a few days ago and still did not work. She has a note 3 and everything worked properly for her
So at this point I was willing to try anything. I rebooted my device without my SD card just for the sake of desperate troubleshooting. When I booted into it all my active logins were gone. I tried logging into my twitter and it returned an error but not an error like before just saying my network connection wasn't working properly it said something along the line of "Unknown Hosts file"
Now I am fairly familiar with the GNU/Linux system (running Arch Linux for over a year) but I cannot think of a reason why my hosts file could have been modified on my device. Even if it was modified why it would bring issues like this? Shouldn't default to my Routers DNS server then?

Do you have adblock app running?

It was running originally but I disabled it and changed my network setting back to not use 127.0.0.1 as a proxy and the issue was still there. I probably should have mentioned this above. Really not looking forward to it but I feel like I am going to have to flash back and start all over with my ricing/settings.
[EDIT1]Alright I just uninstalled it completely and set my proxy setting to none and still have the issue. I am going to clear my cache partition with it uninstalled and see what happens.
[EDIT2]Well what do you know it worked after I rebooting and cleared my cache partition. I think it was more of the fact of rebooting then clearing the cache. Going to go ahead a give you a thanks for reminding me about adblock, I just kind of ruled it out as an issue when I disabled it the first time. Cheers!

Play Store/Gmail - No Internet Connection error (But have internet Connection) - SSL

Hello, I have a PX6 Avin device and I just installed their update to fix all the other dreadful problems, and bam, no longer am able to use the Play Store. It says NOT CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET. I tried resetting the date and time to manual, still does not work. I have not tried tethering my hotspot to it but no WIFI works on play store or gmail. Everything else works with Wifi. And if you try to browse to a secure site it says cannot connect securely. What can I do to fix this? I was sure the date and time would fix but it did not.

I would try either force stopping and clearing the cache from play store, or even the data! Watch out, you may have to give your credentials again.
Or in worst case, factory reset the unit and start configuring everything from scratch.
