I can connect and browse the internet on my Xperia x10 mini wifi fine without problems but when i try to download apps they say they are starting to download but nothing happens. It doesn't appear in the notification.
I am on android 2.1.
I deleted all my apps and then reset to factory settings, but still it won't work.
The day before this happened i downloaded tTorrent Lite and some other apps using wifi without problems. The next day i tried to use tTorrent to download some music but it wouldn't started downloading. So then i tried to download something off the market and that also wouldn't start.
So what can i do to fix this?
If someone could help me with this problem that would be greatly appreciated
Thanks a lot

Did you manually configure your router? Maybe your router filters your I.P address.
Try one of the ff:
try wiping your cache via xRecovery.
login to your google talk first. when you've managed to login do a relog. then see what happens.
I have the same problem. Can´t even log in to google talk service.
It became suddenly. 2days ago everything was fine. Now I can´t update my apps etc.
Will try that xrecovery if I manage to download it from google but is there any other option? without downloading another apps?
try these solution, but didn't try this as a solution.

when I encountered this problem, I figured that someone filtered their router with a specific mac address, I noticed it because when I tried downloading on my office it stalls on starting download but when I'm at home I can download w/o problems lol.
anyways, I'll try to find the other solution I find helpful when I experienced this.
EDIT: Found another. Well, these sites gave me ideas why we're encountering this kind of bug. But TAKE NOTE that I didn't do these as a solution to the problem. Mine just got OK when I got home. as explained in the bold part

Still not working
I cannot sign in to Google talk for some reason.
I don't have wifi at home so i was using internet at the library. Do you think they would/could have filtered my phone so i just couldn't download, but can browse?
I can download off my laptop there and had done on my phone a day before this all happen. Plus i tried it at another library also.
Where is xRecovery?
Thanks a lot for your help

Hi Experts,
Sorry if I sound a little crude and maybe a novice(I am), but I have been a Symbian user so far and finally decided to take the plunge to Android. I received my HTC Hero a couple of days back and tried to connect to Android Market with my google account, but in vain. Tried to use the Google Mail app, but again failed. Am I missing something here? Tried to use HTC Sync with my lappy, but no success.
Provider: Orange UK.
Connectivity: Wifi (No data plan on Sim)
Laptop OS: Win 7 64-bit (connecting usin USB cable)
I have read a lot of threads on xda and on the internet and tried quite a few things, but no success.
Thanks in advance,
Jag
Closing thread as there is another one though not for UK. Will wait for that to resolve.

I had the same problem, and some packet sniffing showed that Android tries to contact google on port 5228/tcp. Our work wifi firewalls non-standard ports, presumably this is why I cannot download from the market (Hangs forever at "starting download") or sign into gtalk over wifi. Switching to 3G data, everything works fine (though the Market stalls a lot).
I had an issue where it wouldn't accept my details unless I entered them in on the initial setup screen.
i.e. if I skipped past the "set up google mail" bit, and went back later, it didn't work.
workaround was reverting to factory install and making sure to enter my account details at the start (and I used wifi since I was in my home, so it should definately work)
It worked for me after i manually set the APN for my carrier.
Please same problem, HTC Magic 32B Ion 1.6, how can I do?
Yes you should always try to log into google at the very start otherwise some problems can be caused.

All OK!
I did a wipe and all ok
How am I supposed to do this after a factory reset if I connect thru wifi, since I must first enable wifi radio and then put a password, so that means I would have to skip the "wizard" so that defeats the purpose of factory resetting everything... please help.
Solved
Logically, what you say is right, but practically it actually worked
1) after the factory reset, i get the google signin screen,
at that moment, my wifi wont be enabled.....but still i went ahead and entered the username and
password and clicked the signin button
as expected it throwed a message saying "it cant connect"
along with it it also said may be you are not on wifi with a
"connect to wifi button", which will take to the wifi screen where you can connect to wifi and it comes back to the google signin screen, where you login again....
.............there you go it signs in successfully now.
Hope this helps

Hi
I am facing the same problem with my device (Galaxy S2). I am able to surf web with the stock phone browser using wifi, but apps won't connect. Apps connect only through GPRS.
I was wondering if you were able to resolve the issue. Could you please help me ?
Anyone else has a solution to this problem.
My phone has the stock firmware, purchased the phone today.
Apps have never worked over wifi, but the browser works.
Cannot download anything on wifi, for that only my GPRS/3G works.
Please help
I have been using my desire for over a year and it has been great, but now I also have this problem of no market or google mail over my WiFi. I was going to do a factory reset and start again, but after reading the posts on this thread this may not resolve the problem.
Has anyone found a fix for this problem
I have this problem too. I doubt it's the manufacture deliberately use its stock sbf to stop people using wifi to save data bandage. So they can make more money with the mobile operators!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281034
me too I guess
well i was having a similar problem(would connect to wifi, the browser worked but not the apps).in my case, i have my router setup with the dhcp server off(you have to assign an static ip address manually to every device you that you are going to connect to the router) i solved my problem by enabling the "use static ip" check box and filling all the information(ip address, gateway, netmask, dns 1 and dns 2)on the advance settings tab in wifi settings.
anyone else have this problem? cant download from market. i get the "starting download" for ages but nothing ever happens...
any ideas anyone?
works fine for me
are you on wifi or 3g ?
try to switch the mode while downloading
i tried wifi as well as 3g. same same. didnt try switching while loading but will as soon as i got both available again
tried your switching trick. it worked!! now even works with only one connection method. what ever it was it's solved now. Thanks!
For 3g, downloading from google market works nicely. But if i switch to wifi, its worthless. I tried many tmes.... only it shows downloading. Even i kept it for couple of hours... useless.
anyone got solution??? Help me pls!
I'm having the same issue. I got it to work a few times buy switching gsm to wcdma/gsm and back doring download but recently i have not been able to reproduce it. Any solutions?
Some people said that clearing the Cache from te market(in phone settings/ apps/ market), and then reboot your phone works.

Danne_jo stated himself that using foreign languages might "break" market downloads, try to switch from your setting to English, try a download, then switch back (I guess that does the same as cleaning the market cache, the noob-proof method )

hello guys, i have an annoying issue everytime i flash a new rom..
i can have access in market and browse all apps, BUT when i press the download button downloading doesnt begin.. after a couple of days everything is back to normal..
the strange thing is that this happens only when i use wifi but never when i use gsm/3g..
after flashing a new rom, i have tried several reboots and to clear data from market app without any result..
is there anything else to try? thank you in advance..
Same issue here... no solution so far
I had same situation sometimes. I am on WiFi always. I downloaded an app, there was no response, went on to use the device further, after about 5 mins suddenly the download sign appeared in notification bar, and it was downloaded. So I think you should try again at another time later, maybe a server problem in Market.
Regards.
Hi Friends,
Few days a go as I was watching youtube videos for around 45 minutes continuously through the youtube app. The streaming suddenly paused and never continued from that point. I tried other videos but it kept on buffering (the circle kept on spining and nothing happened, as noticed on the leds of wifi router it seemed youtube app is not using the net but when i search for more videos the thumbnail do showup normally).
To over come this issue i tried reflashing. This happened when i was on the new HyperDroid_v4.0 with Pongster's MattedBlack v4.0 Surgeons which is amazing for battery saving.
I then tried reflashing HyperDroid_v4.0 again after formatting /cache /system /data /sdcard /emmc which wiped everything, but still no avail.
Then i again tried reflashing DarkyROM2 XXKH3 BASE (2.3.4) formatting everything but still no luck at all.
I even tried these flashing after Factory data reset selecting Format USB storage as well .
When i do the flashing everything else seems to be working fine as usual except the youtube playback and android market doesn't download, like i said for the youtube app, everything like searching the apps, browsing through apps details works fine except it doesn't download at all. It shows as if it's downloading but it stays as is forever.
Very sorry if same question was posted before this as i couldn't find like it.
I have been trying to fix this for 2 days in a row but still no luck.
Has anyone come across this same issue.
Please help.
Thank you very much in advance..
Update:The problem was finally solved after again formatting /cache /system /data /sdcard /emmc and flashed stock ROM though Odin and then I installed DarkyROM tool and then flashed DarkyROM2_KI3_Base ROM.
I will soon jump to HyperDroid_v4.0 with Pongster's MattedBlack v4.0 Surgeons again as it has superb battery life.
I will be updating you guys if the same problem persist.
Thank you all
Hello everyone!
Although I am not using GS2 (I have a Galaxy Note), I chose to post here because I didn't want to create a new post and I believe this is not a device-specific issue (see below for why).
I have the exact same problem as OP (as far as I can see). When I got my note less than a week ago, everything was working great. Then, last Friday I noticed that I cannot download anything from the market. After choosing to download something (both paid or free), after clicking "accept & download" at the permission screen, the screen goes back to app screen and market shows the app as "downloading..." with working, yet empty, progress bar. Everything else using the internet works fine - browsing from different browsers, notifications, email etc. I even tried installing an alternative market app, and it would download/install apps no problem. Also, downloading straight .apk files works as well. Later that evening I also noticed youtube app doesn't work - just the "loading" circle keeps running, until it times out. Browsing/searching market/youtube works without a problem. I am using the stock ROM and it isn't even rooted. Later, following some suggestions from google searches on the problem, it turns out that downloads work when I disable network and let it use mobile internet. I also later found out that it works on other wifi networks, just not my home wifi (which used to work perfectly, with no configuration changes to the router).
Next day I also found out that my girlfriend's android (LG Optimus Me P350) has the same exact problem, therefor it is not a phone model specific problem.
Here is what I tried so far:
Factory reset - left me with no apps and no way to re-download them. The market download did work ONCE after the reset, but that was to download the update to the market itself, nothing else;
Clearing Download Manager data - worked for ONE download. At first it worked for one download every time, meaning, after clearing download manager data, I was able to download one app, after that it would go back to the problem. I could then clear data again, and it would again download one app. After about 5 apps downloaded this way, this solution won't work at all anymore;
Force closing/clearing data of market, gmail, talk (in combination with above step) - didn't work;
Signing out/in to gmail and/or talk - didn't work;
Changing google account in market - didn't work;
Stopping/starting download countless times - didn't work;
Switching wifi on/off - only starts downloading briefly when phone switches to 3G while wifi is off. As soon as it gets wifi connection back, the download stalls at the position it was until I switch wifi off again (so it can continue to use 3G);
Switching phone to airplane mode, off/on, then disabling airplane mode - didn't work;
Changing phone's DNS records with an app to OpenDNS - didn't work;
Updating router firmware - didn't work;
Resetting router firmware - didn't work;
Setting port triggering on router for port 5228 - didn't work;
Port forwarding to Note IP for same port - didn't work;
Disabling router firewall - didn't work;
My router is Linksys E1000.
I think that is all I tried. I have been trying to find a solution for the whole weekend, and nothing as far. Searching google makes me believe that many people have had the same problem. I have found many solutions, which don't work, or only work once. This problem is really, really irritating. Also, I have found out that for many people the problem seems to randomly disappear without doing anything after some time (days to months), sometimes coming back and sometimes not. I experienced this myself when after going to sleep, I was able to download one app in the morning with no tried "fixes" at that time. This also makes me believe that there are many "fake" solutions, which did work for some people, but not for others - quite possibly, while these people were "solving" the problem, it actually solved itself, yet because the person did something, he/she believes that was the solution. A notable example of this could be "google account 24-hour reset" where users experiencing the problem are suggested to log out of their google accounts everywhere and not use the account for anything for 24 hours. Seeing as this is possibly a problem somehow connected to another device, not just the phone itself, I did consider flashing DD-WRT on my router, but I wouldn't really want do do that since my router is not that powerful and with all the DD-WRT features my broadband speed gets capped at about 65Mbit/s. Still a lot, but I have a great internet connection and am able to get real speeds of about 90Mbit/s with stock router firmware.
If anyone has any ideas, please share Thank you in advance!
Just a quick reply - I contacted my apartment building network tech, and he said that they didn't do anything regarding the internet that day, but they did however do something to offer TV service to residents (edit: The TV network shares the same hardware as internet's). He said that it shouldn't have changed anything regarding internet, but he would look into it. A few hours later everything is working.
Of course, it could be one of those cases where the problem disappears with no apparent reason, but I guess they did something to fix it. So, if you are experiencing the same problem (market downloads not working and youtube app not playing videos), and you have tried everything else (preferably confirmed the problem persists on someone elses phone), I would suggest you start going up the chain to whoever is managing your network (after yourself). If at all possible, try getting wifi access through someone else who is using the same ISP/network - if the problem persists even when connected to another AP/Router, it's pretty sure the ISP or network is to blame.
Hope this helps someone, since I wasted a few days on this
Today randomly my market wouldnt connect. kept come up with the big retry button. now my textfree app wont send text but will receive.. but the strangest part about this is when i go to my browser facebook is the only site that works. no matter how i enter it, "www." "http:" no other site will load. so i thought it was a rom problem "originally on oodie prime7" then moved to some other miui rom and im still having the same issue but now i cant sign into my google account.... oddly enough the browser still works with facebook but thats it.
im on wifi. i have switched to other wifi connects and used different routers in my house. all the same issues. so its not my router or any other router
update: just tried searching something through the google search widget.. it opens up the browser and says the same thing "web page not available"
update 2: just tried completely resetting phone back to stock by re-branding and running it through PC companion.. still exact same issue but with doing that i can no longer connect to the facebook website. just flashed back to miui rom (cant stand looking at stock rom).. please someone help me
