Pretty odd if you ask me, I haven't found anything similar with my searches.
Stock EVO
2.2
PRL 60670
PRI 1.40_003
Just did a wipe/factory reset. Did not have this issue before the wipe, and don't want to wipe again, just got done getting everything setup the way I wanted.
So here's the situation.
Basically it's somewhat random. Open Market First page loads(cached) but any other searches or categories give me an error "A network error has occurred".
I cancel that, jump back to browser, try a google search to test my 3g connection, one search may work, then I get network errors. But, when testing other websites, ala espn.com, it works fine. Go back to google, no dice.
I am then forced to reboot, or force close both Market and the Browser to be able to browse again. But as soon as I pull up Market, and get the error, I'm back to not being able to use google. It's very odd and random, and I feel like I'm going crazy. I've toggled radio, wifi etc to refresh 3g connection, does nothing.
I haven't installed anything new recently, no updates, etc. I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing issues. I have a co-worker having similar stuff with his hero, and another guy from this weekend had the network error in the market. We had 3 phones together, two got network error the other was fine.
It's been about 3-4 days of this.
If I missed some big issue, flame me and everything, I'm just tired of messing with it.
Thanks,
Laddy
holy moly, this just started happening to me today too. Tried several different roms. Several kernels. Reflashed the newest radio. did a ##768# and ##3282# reset.
You are correct, it is only google affiliated sites that aren't working and i didn't realize that until you pointed it out.
I access sprint sites fine. 3g stays connected with full signal at all times. At this point i can't even log into my google accounts to sync contacts and crap..... this is really irritating me. WTF is google doing?
Weirdness. I live in champaign illinois, where abouts are you? And what gives people? These roms i tried flashing of course have worked before, i am a very technical person and nothing on the phone itself has been messed up. Seems that google may be blocking the phone for some reason.

others are having this issue as well...
I am having the same issues, no google services work, that includes:
Google Talk
Gmail
Google Reader
Google Voice
pointing a browser at www.google.com
All other web surfing works fine, all other data works fine, full bars 3G
Tried factory data resets, 3 different roms
Flashed back to stock 2.2 still nothing.
I can't add Google accounts.
Sounds like basically no connection to any Google servers for any of their services.
Seems like its just through sprint though, maybe not, maybe sprints routers stopped routing traffic to Google for some reason.
I have searched the net all day and have been unable to find others with this issue, except for here.
Maybe it is just sprint.
Can any non-sprint users confirm there Google services working ok?
Thank god, I was going crazy trying to figure wtf was going on. No Idea how I missed that thread tho, feel free to close this one.
This evening over 3G I have been getting either no connection or VERY slow connections to anything Google, such as the Market, Google's homepage and the Gmail app. Other sites seem to load fine.. Is it just me?
I'm having the same issue - have a friend with this problem too. Started for me last night. Like you said just google sites over 3g.
Same issues here, 4G I believe also. REALLY cost me some time on my commute having to try over and over again to get some directions to a customer's house... Eventually nav did work (even maps was lagging badly), speed tests were 'ok'. Wierd thing is, both 3G and 4G SEEM to be affected, yet if I wifi to my clear connection at home its just fine (and clear blows, usually I'm using my phone on mobile AP to pay bills because comed doesn't work on clear's dirt-cheap chinese ip's). What's up sprint, why GOOGLE, an integral part of the OS would you throttle for god sakes. All speech-to-text operations fail as well as they timeout.
Are you all stock?
stock rom, but rooted
Yeah same problems here I thought it was juat me
I've got the same issue, Can't download anything from market and can't log into any google services such as gtalk however I do have access to gmail.
I've rooted my phone and running xtreme kernel and epic experience and this has been happening since yesterday.
I can tell you it doesn't seem to just be the epic. I was on my friend's droid and it just seemed butt slow. Well then again, it's a verizon droid too...
I did have a problem with gmail earlier- had to clear out gmail storage/cache and re sync, which fixed it.. Or it just came back by then...
I'm surprised to see this post because I thought my browser was f'd up also. But I guess its just something wrong network wise.

Still can't load Google.com but other sites (such as this one, I'm responding via the phone on 3G now) are fine. I can't pin point if its just stock people, rooted people, Epic or EVO people either.. a stock EVO next to me has no problems connecting to Google services. Very strange..
Looks like its not just me either. Maybe Sprint is upgrading their towers or something? I wish they'd tell us these things so we don't go through ridiculous troubleshooting measures for nothing on our phones..

Sprint often seems to have connectivity issues specific to Google services. Couple weeks back when I still had my Evo... I was having issues signing in to google talk. I proved it was on Sprint's end by using Connectbot to create a proxy to mtalk.google.com:5228 and adding an entry for it in /etc/hosts. This fixed the issue completely. Sprint wouldn't admit anything.
Looks like we're back here in Kentucky - it was a data problem on the Sprint side! I'm glad THAT debacle is over, heh.
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!

Edit2: False alarm, still not working.. seems to come and go
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 !!
A few days ago I did an OTA update from Sprint (using stock ROM and bootloader). One thing I noticed big-time about the update was that it wreaked havoc on my wi-fi settings. Wifi was turned off by default, and when I tried to enable it, it would immediately turn itself off without connecting.
This was a really big hassle for me since I was doing this at home, where I have the luxury and speed of my RoadRunner internet connection. But now I was forced to use mobile data to download and update all of my apps (slower and, of course, eats up data that I didn't want to do).
The only solution I was able to find thus far was to revert back to a stock ROM and bootloader, which I obtained from this site. But it took me the better part of Friday night and Saturday morning to get it done, and I was NOT a happy camper when all was said and done.
Good news though... after flashing and re-flashing and re-flashing and re-re-flashing with Odin, I finally got the phone back to where it will connect to the internet and I can download apps, etc. at the faster speeds again.
From what I've heard, this seems to be a Sprint-specific issue. Has anyone else had this problem? And while I'm at it, has anyone else had issues with the latest Sprint OTA update?
Its been mentioned in of the threads.

I'm completely SIM free, the phone has always been unlocked and is on an unlocked firmware(not a carrier firmware). However since the last update for February, I've noticed that my chrome browsers home page is my carrier/network provider o2.
If I clear app data and cache of Chrome, it has no effect. Has anyone else seen this issue?
Tempted to go into my local Samsung store in a couple of days if I can't get to the bottom of it.
What's annoying is my carriers homepage is advertising the S20, it's almost like it's subliminal advertising.
