Hello All,
My Market App is not downloading all the free apps (like facebook, espn, etc) on my Samsung Vibrant phone using my home WiFi connection. I go into the market app, use the search to find the app, click and scroll down to the app where it stays install. when i click install it says "starting download" and thats it.
I can browse the web, check my gmail and use pre-existing apps from my Vibrant using my home WiFi, however downloading new apps through Market app is still a problem.
I have read some forums and did Force Stop on Market Apps and Download Manager, and that did not resolve the issue; also tried rebooting. Also it downloaded some apps using another WiFi connection. I don't think its my WiFi at home, because my Laptop, iphone and iTouch all work fine in my home WiFi connection.
How can I download apps using WiFi connection at home? Is there another way to download apps, such as connecting the phone's USB cord to my Windows Desktop PC and downloading apps into the computer. Please help me out, I would highly appreciate it. Thanks!
Sincerely,
Moe

Hey all!
Quick question; when I connect to my wifi at home it connects quickly but I can't access web pages, market etc. I have to restart my phone before I'm able to. It never use to do this and I haven't changed anything. Any thoughts?

Hey guys, been away on holidays for about a week, while our little family was away i planned on using my gtab to access facebook and some of the facebook apps i use (and no im not playing mafia wars ). I was not able to do this, ill explain and hope someone may be able to help me sort this out for next time.
To start with i tethered my gtab to my android phone, this worked great for internet access, it wasn't till i tried to access facebook on my gtab as per normal that i ran into trouble.
Now to point out i run facebook normally on my gtab using my home wireless network ok. But as i was using my phone to tether and provide internet access to the gtab, it didnt work out as i planned.
Instead facebook would not load on my gtab, it simply would not fully load, so i tried using the facebook mobile app, this worked the first time i used it while being tethered to my android phone, but it meant i was not able to access other facebook apps, as they r not available in the facebook mobile version, also to top it off, the mobile version only worked once, and would not fully load again from that point on.
Now lucky for me, my wife brought her win7 laptop along on our holiday, so i was able to tether her laptop with my android phone, and to make it more interesting, i was fully able to access facebook and the apps i needed through her windows based laptop.
So what i took from this was as long as my gtab is tethered to a mobile phone for internet access, it acted like a mobile phone and required the use of the facebook mobile phone version instead of the full browser based version.
I need to be able to use the full browser version of facebook to be able to use other apps provided by facebook, so im hoping someone knows how i can configure either my phone or the gtab so i can overcome this issue, any help please ?
What app are you using to tether? Is it the standard 3g hotspots or are you rooted and running something else?
have you changed the user agent to desktop on your Gtab? if not go to settings of your browser and do so.
Thanks guys for the replies.
Im using the default phones tether option under
wireless & networks.
Tethering & portable hotspots
portable wifi hotspot
Ive also tried to find this desktop setting in the browser, but i must be blind, i cant see it anywhere. Im using the default browser that cames with Vegantab 5.1.1
"about:debug" in the browser url window. Settings and scroll to the very bottom. You have to set it every time you reboot
Thanks guys for pointing me in the right direction, once i knew about the desktop setting for the browser, i was able to do a bit of reseach and found out that you can set this permanently in Dolphin HD. So thanks to you guys im now able to do what i need to, thanks heaps.
When I use the wifi tether app, I can download torrents just fine, but if I were to open firefox, chrome, etc., I cannot browse at all and I'd just get a loading page error as if there were no internet. Does anyone know what could be causing the problem?
Depends on the tethering app you're using, I'm pretty sure. Most tethering apps will allow you to browse for a certain amount of time for free and then lock you out. Normally it's only secure sites, but I'm sure some lock out completely if you don't pay.
If it's wifi tether, download a free one like OpenGarden or Barnacle.
If it's USB2PC, I can't help you. I don't know of a completely free one, but I use the paid version of PDANet pretty regularly without incident.
Also, try turning your firewall/antivirus off and see if the problem persists.
Hope some of that helps.
That's my problem, Google Play can not connect "try again" and sometimes it shows me two erros: 495 y 923, and YouTube can not connect. But if i use 3G connection yes, It works!
*I already read the following things and i´m still with the same problem:
- "Reboot Mobile"
- "Clear cache and data from Google Play app and Market"
- Yes.. Gtalk works form me and i can talk with others..
- "Reinstall Google Play and Youtube apps"
In 3G connection it works, but if i change to wifi doesnt works. I can use internet with the wifi but google play and youtube dont. I've used the wifi connection since I have this phone and suddenly i have this problem.
Any ideas?
Do you have droidwall or some sort of firewall?
Can you connect via another device?
Have you restarted your phone/router?

Hi,
My problem is my phone is forbiden at work but I have an internet access on my desk computer.
Can I find an app to install in my phone at home, and use it remotly on my work pc by the browser, without install other software ?
I saw apps as Airdroid, but it seems it's reserved for local networks, by wifi...
