Interesting thing happened when I rooted and finally got a working ROM loaded...my market app which previously seemed to always pretend it was in the US (even though I am traveling in Canada for work), has now seemed to recognize it's in Canada, meaning I am blocked from movies, books, and am missing the "featured for tablets" section.
Anyone encountered this before? Is there a way on a tablet (there seems to be apps for phones but you need 3G connection and I am wifi only) to force the market to think it's in the US?
Thanks.

I've recently noticed that my Pandora and Youtube apps will no longer play music or videos, respectively. I have searched extensively and found that this is not an uncommon issue with EVOs on Sprint. (see here.)
However, I have a Galaxy s2 that is on AT&T's network, so the fix described in the above thread does not work.
I would rather not do a factory reset and start over; that is a last resort. I may end up just living with it until I finally settle on a ROM that I want to flash.
That said, I'm hoping someone knows of a way to address this or has even seen the issue.
My own fault
Apparently I am prone to short bouts of complete stupidity. I forgot I had installed DroidWall, and needed to grant network access to several services, including YouTube and Pandora.
I searched but couldn't find a great reference point for what I'm looking for - I've rooted my Gtab to Vegan 5.1 (or 1.5? I can't remember) right after I got it in early Spring.
Well now I have issues with the Wifi - I can connect to the network and go to websites - but none of my apps (Gmail, Gtask, Zinio, Market) will connect to the network. Am I missing a setting somewhere? I'm planning on upgrading to a new ROM soon - but I haven't decided on one yet and I don't know if that will fix my problems.
Any help is appreciated - I have a ton of magazines to read!

Any thoughts on this? I flashed last week and then today I can't use any apps. The can get to the internet but thats it. The wifi icon is showing connected but it is grey instead of the usual green. I need help bad.
I just had about enough with this device! This is so frustrating...
Okay, I have not done anything to my tfp. it's on stock .11. Wifi was flimsy as with everybody, but I was perfectly able to surf the internet and download apps from the market etc.
I am not sure what has happened but suddenly my internet connection isn't working properly no more. the wifi icon stays grey, I can no longer browse the android market (tells me there is a network problem) and when I open the standard browser it tells me there is a problem with certificates on pretty much every page I open.
What the hell is going on? I don't have time for this! I need to work with this device.
Has anyone ever had similar experiences with android/tf201? It might be an ICS quirk, maybe some sort of software fluke or an actual security problem, I have no idea what to google or where to check.
Please help!

Try forgetting your wifi connection and restarting I had to do that to my tfp and it worked right after as for the market I have not seen this issue yet but Have you tired to clear data/cache for just the market app under settings?
First, I have searched both here and Google regarding my question but all I’ve turned up are problems with WiFi connections (which I don’t have – my connection is always solid) and reported problems about 8 months ago with payments in general (my problems are with WiFi only).
My problem is that any time I try to purchase an app on Android Market (and now Google Play) using WiFi, the app hangs at the point where it’s trying to authorize payment. It just sits there no matter how long I wait (well… at least 10 minutes or so). If I switch over to the home screen, turn off WiFi so 4G comes back up and then switch back to Android Market/Google Play, payment goes through properly. Once the download starts I can switch back to WiFi and the app will download without issue. This happened several times when I was straight stock using Android Market, at least once when I switched to NRG’s ROM using Android market, and again this morning with Google Play; it isn’t just the new Google Play app.
I wanted to ask whether anyone else has experienced this and whether you found any reason for it or a solution to it. This isn’t the end of the world but it would be nice to have it working correctly so I don’t have to mess around with the connection while trying to download a large app.
Thanks!

I was having issues last night buying app from google play, was getting error 403. then this morning I bought another and it went through and I was like wtf!
I refunded the three apps that didn't go through then re bought them and they downloaded perfectly.. lol
not sure if that is the issue you're having but take a look at this thread:http://www.google.com/support/forum...ad?fid=4627bf187632930e0004babe8be00aa0&hl=en

Thanks for the link, but unfortunately my issue is different. I never got an error of any kind, it just sat there trying to authorize payment until I switched from WiFi back to 4G, then it went through without issue. Afterword, I could download the app on WiFi just fine.
Thanks again.
My payments for apps only work over 4g
well I can confirm it isn't using wifi, it COULD be your router or firewall, or some other settings. I can confirm it because I don't have a data plan, I use wifi for everything and I have bought apps through it.

Hummm, guess that's just the way it works. Thanks for the feedback.
Hi Everybody, new on here but had nowhere else to turn. Sony support told me to turn it off and on and try search for new app updates.
Anyhow problem started right after using the repair tool. I tried to flash a custom rom which failed so I repaired using sony companion. Since I did that the tablet is not offering me the 4.4 update which I previously had running on the tablet. That's not in all too much of an issue but thought I'd give the background. So after all this the apps on my tablet don't seem to want anything streaming, it's really odd. BBC iPlayer, Spotify and Netflix are all having problems. Netflix tells me to check internet connection and date/time and the other apps just say I'm offline. It's really weird because I am online and can download from the internet just fine. The browser allows me to use the internet as normal just these apps seem to be saying im constantly offline whilst I'm connected to the wifi.
Please any help on this would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
I can confirm Netflix works fine on 4G now so must be an Internet issue. Anyone any ideas where to start with this??
