Market stuck "Downloading"

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 !!

Wifi Hotspot Issue

Hi all
I installed KitKat factory images last friday and apart from a few FCs with some apps, everything was running fine. It was like this until i needed to use the phone as a wifi hotspot.
Computers can connect to the phone, but they can´t reach the Internet. I tried all tethering methods available: wifi, USB and bluetooth. No one of them worked.
So, i went to google and downloaded KRT16S (the one i had was KRT16O) and USB tethering started working just fine (it was not in the previous release). WIFI hotspot is still the same though. Machines can successfully connect to the phone but they can´t browse the Internet. A friend of mine using the same carrier as me confirmed it was not operator blocking internet connection sharing (anyway, USB works...).
Could anyone do some testing and report here? Thank you very much!!

I dug a little deeper, and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2512674&page=8 resolved it, but you need to be rooted.
It seems to be a combination of a settings change with 4.4, and a change on T-Mobile's end as well. Just as many people seem to have resolved this by calling T-Mobile and having them make sure their account is provisioned properly.

That didn´t seem to work here. Still no Internet when using WIFI hotspot. While i know it´s easy to install a custom rom i would like it work out of the box with a stock rom, the way it should be. Maybe i´ll try to downgrade to 4.3 and see how it goes. Meanwhile, if someone has something else to add...
thx

If I were to guess, it's due to the fact that 4.4 now specifically checks to see if you are provisioned for tethering if you are on T-Mobile, and even though almost all plans on T-Mobile include tethering now, it may be that due to the recent plan changes at T-Mobile some accounts may be provisioned incorrectly.
I'm going to have T-Mobile check my account, because even though it's working for me now, I am curious.

Just to add something... Im not on t-mobile. I'm from Brazil and my carrier is Oi.

Ok...upon further testing it is almost certain that it´s something related to the notebook i was trying to connect with the phone. Just did some testing with my desktop computer and it worked just fine with a stock install of KK. I don´t know why that same notebook connected to the internet when i tried tethering with a friend´s iPhone 5. Anyway, all appears to be ok and carrier block is ruled out.
Thank you all for the valuable input!!
you rock

WIFI works on brower but can not use any apps or update apps on play store

this happened all of a sudden out of nowhere just over a week ago on my home wifi. there has been no updates to my broadband hub or anything like that
i've run out of ideas how
my once great phone is essentially a paper weight

Does the same WiFi network work on other devices? If yes, you might want to try to factory reset or if that doesn't work a fresh install via Odin!

Allright, that's too bad.. Have you tried other WiFi networks? If so, I can't think of any other reason but faulty hardware.

Err weird. So the problem lies within some part of the phone that is unaffected when resetting or reflashing (odin)... No idea really, sorry. Hopefully someone else has a solution!

it even effects the samsung brower on certain pages, but not all.
it hates google apps and trying to load the google app store webpage.

and yes i have cleared cache on google apps and deleted my google account

Anyone use Zoiper or other SIP app for VOIP on Oreo beta 2? Will not connect on WiFi

On Oreo beta2 I can no longer connect to the SIP server when the phone is on any WiFi connection. App works fine on mobile data but not on WiFi, no matter where the WiFi originates. This happens on Zoiper, CSipSimple or any Voip App. Was working on 7.1. Seems there is something blocking the connection to the server. Any thoughts?

Ditch the apps. SIP functionality is built into the standard phone app. I am using it with VoIP.ms.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't know that was available but the same problems exists with the native dialer. Account will register on mobile data but not WiFi. Something is blocking it. Very frustrating and i don't know what else to do to troubleshoot this.

Just tested this myself with Oreo beta 2 using the internal dialer and it worked fine.

Perhaps your router (or service provider) is blocking a necessary port. I would start with researching which ports need to be open for SIP/ your VoIP service functionality. Then checking your network and router, with some app or other, if it is open or closed. Then creating a port forwarding rule to your device if necessary. Note this advice is just theoretical as I have not had to do this. Perhaps someone with some similar experience could further advise...

I have thought about this as well but that would not explain as why it happens on my home wifi, my work wifi, my friends wifi... All with different routers and service providers. It must be the phone or rom issue or possibly some app doing this. Googling this brings me to others mainly with a Pixel phone with the same problem.

Sprint OMA-DM cause?
OK so i was digging into the phone to try to solve this problem and found something interesting. There was a n APP called "Spring OMA-DM" that i found was using data on my phone. I use T-Mobile so i didn't think i needed anything Sprint on my phone. Since i am rooted i decided to remove any APP on the device that had a Sprint name. There were three i removed. Once i deleted these APPs my WiFi connection for my SIP starting working. I wonder what Sprint is trying to do. I bought this phone on Amazon but it was from a private seller and he obviously got it from Sprint but it was unlocked and i never had any problems. I think everyone might want to beware of this.

LineageOS 19.1 Issues

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone else is having weird issues with the new LineageOS 19.1 update? I upgraded from 18.1 and am having a bug where certain apps can't connect to the internet am forced to use WiFi instead of mobile data in order to use the app. I do have my mobile data turned on and check the info of the app and allow the app to connect to the internet. Was wondering if its just me and need to reformat or is there anyone else coming across this issue as well.
Build: lineage_fajita-userdebug 12 SP2A.220405.004 ba65ac2b7e
Status update: I reformatted the phone the issue still persist.

Nope. I checked those and they were correct. I even reset back to default to see if that would work but nothing the situation stayed the same and didn't work properly. I managed to get into contact with Metro to reactivate my sim card as well I went a little further than I should but I wanted to know if it was Metro network or my phone and still was having issues. All in all I decided to go back to stock firmware and I may try again later months to see if the issues have been fixed.
To be honest I doubt it am having way too much fun with Gpay at the moment.

Could try some other roms. I've never really liked lineage much but any of severalt's new roms are great. Zero issues for me
