Hi
I'm not sure if it's Android or Transformer prime thing.
My google data (gmail, gcal) syncs properly and immediate when i'm @home with my wifi network, but refuses to automatically sync at the office wi-fi network.
The office network is freely available to the device, i can browse the net without any problems.
Can figure it out why the sync doesn't work.
I have noticed the same issue on mine except my home network sometimes has the issue too. I have resolve it by disabling the sync and then enabling it again. This method works for a little while then it seems to go into the no new notification mode. I have to manually refresh in gmail to get my new mail to show up. It is annoying. I even send test emails to both my phone and tablet, but it will not ccome through until it feels like it or unless I manually update. My xoom does not do that.
I have a sort of similar thing. All I know is that I'll be delivering pizzas while tethered. As soon as I get home, and turn off the tethering, my tablet connects to the home WiFi and gets one or more notification noises as it if wasn't syncing the same way when tethered. The oddity is that it doesn't know I'm on a mobile connection so it isn't trying to save bandwidth. I suspect there is something in the security or ports that makes it's connections to the home network different than when tethering, or when you are at work.
I can't speak to the issue regarding tethering, but for those of you having issues at the office, this is most likely due to firewall rules. I work for a cybersecurity software company, and have been fighting for them to address this as both my phone and prime suffer from the same thing.
If you have a good relationship with your IT/Corporate security people, try bringing it up with them.

do you know if google sync services uses other than 80/443 port numbers?
Not only did I notice this same thing happening I also noticed emails I had are disappearing when not on home network and Wi-Fi tethering with my phone this is weird...... they disappear from my gmail application......

Ive checked like crazy in my settings...
Someting must be wrong because when i check email in my rose (its a hotmail account) it refuses to use the wifi connection. Even if im in an area where i have NO signal on the cell, it tries to connect with gprs/3g and then failes since theres no signal, but i have signal on wifi of course..
But if i turn phone off in comm manager, then it works over wifi!
its strange because i only notice this behavior with the email, not when using internet explorer or updating weather..
No one else has this problem??
Would be very happy if someone had a fix for this..
In Comm Manager, Data Connection is always on?
I might have an answer to this.
When using Activesync to connect to an Exchange server where push email is switched on (rather than checking for email every X minutes), the only connection used will be the phones data connection (so GPRS/3G etc) and WiFi will NOT be used. This is normal operation for Windows Mobile and Activesync.
If you set the phone to check for mail every X minutes and wifi is available, it will use that instead.
In both of the above cases, other connections (such as browsing etc) will happily use wifi if it is available.
Now I am not sure how hotmail is set up these days but I do know it delivers emails as they arrive so would put $10 on it being the same thing as when using Exchange.
What does "data connection" do?
It appears the Evo 3D has issues staying connected to these networks, whereas the 4G on both Sense and AOSP worked fine.
Here is my network at work:
802.1x EAP
Enterprise(802.1x)
EAP method - PEAP
Phase 2 authentication - MSCHAPV2
then enter identity, skip anony identity, then enter password. Then I should be gold, but after a reboot, it can no longer stay connected.
Anyone else having this issue?
I'm having a similar issue. The wifi setup is pretty much the same as yours. Users with a Nexus S are able to roam around just fine and their wifi stays connected and automatically reconnects when the SSID is in range. I have an Evo 3D and even though it says it remembers the SSID, I have to re-enter my password whenever the device needs to re-establish connectivity (after a restart, coming into the office in the morning, etc). I am able to reauthenticate without any problems though.
Email HTC or call, notify them..its clearly a bug/glitch that's needs to be addressed

Is there a reason that an open wifi netword that has you login from a web page would run so slow. It suppose to be a 100Mb/s speed and on the computer it gets 80+/9+ but on my phone, with it saying its connected. It gets .4/.4 from the speedtest app. My home network is 20/2 and i get like 14/1+ on the phone. Sometimes I get less.
I can give it a try here and let you know what happens.
While I haven't tried the wifi yet, I did try syncing to my work exchange account, and it gave me an error saying 2 policies were not supported (installing unsigned app packages and smime soft certificates). My hero could sync with the exchange account just fine, so I'm wondering what's different. I may have to get in touch with our IT group........
This morning, my WIFI connected no problem, but I haven't rebooted it since yesterday. I seriously think it has to do with rebooting. It's a bit bizarre.
Sometimes when I wake my nook from sleep it wont connect to my wifi.
When i go to my Wireless settings, it shows that my WIFI is On but it it does not detect any networks(there are over 10 wifi networks in range (apt building)).
I go to turn wifi off and it grays out and I get a message that says "Unable to stop Wifi".
The tablet locks up and reboots. Has anyone else experienced this?
I am running sw ver 1.4.0 with the kill OTA procedure setup.

I have seen this once or twice. A router reboot can help a little, but it hasn't been enough of a problem for.me that I've tried to do anything else. All of my Android devices have had problems with my router now and again.
I dont think its my router. Ive got 3 Android phones, A kindle fire, 1 Asus Transformer, multiple laptops, Xbox 360's, wii and multiple IOS devices hooked up to my network and none of them have complained about my wifi being busted. The nook tablet is the only one doing this. My first nook tablet did do this at all. I am wondering if this one has a defective WIFI chip
Yes, I have this same problem on my home wifi.
But in my office, everything is ok.
I have had the same issue. I just reboot the NT. It happened this morning, it was charging overnight with the low battery warning comming on last night before charging. Perhaps that may have something to do with it. I'll try to see if it's on it's charger next time it happens.
I had issues with mine doing that somewhat often. It would even happen during use. I was non rooted with a couple of sideloaded apps. Finally I got fed up and took it in. They swapped me out for a new one and I've had zero issues since.
I was lucky in that both me and my wife got these and I had a point of reference. Her tablet had no wifi issues while mine did. That was what led me to believe there was a problem with mine.
If you keep having the issue, you might want to think of getting it replaced.
WiFi problems only on one router.. Connected - No internet.
The WiFi on my Rooted Nook tablet works great at home, at in-law's, at parents, at neighbors houses. But at church it would find the signal and accept the password then said - "Connected - But no internet". It had full bars. The IP address was some generic number with mostly zero's. I had access to two different iPhones at the time and they both worked and connected to the internet with appropriate sequential IP addresses. I rebooted the D-Link router and my Nook Tablet with the same results. Any Ideas??

Me thinks that your deity doesn't like the idea of you rooting B&N's device.
What are the IP addresses of the other devices, the NT doesn't like nonstandard network protocols.
NT reboot required to get WiFi working
I purchased two Nook Tablets for my kids. Both are rooted using Snowball-mod. Both typically work well, but then refuse to connect to my home wireless network after some time. I have several other laptops and PCs connected to the same WiFi network with no issues. Only the Nook Tablets are unable to connect (after several hours of use). Rebooting the Nook Tablet always solves the problem... until it happens again. I have not found a patter to this yet (i.e. what might be triggering the WiFi to stop operation). If anyone find a solution to this issue, I would love to know what is found.
Several of us have found WiFi will lock out when the device is in sleep mode. Killing WiFi prior to sleep seems to stop this mysterious behavior, for me anyway.

Is it known whether a un-modified ("stock" B&N NT) also requires WiFi to be disabled before entering sleep mode? If this is not an issue with an un-modified Nook Tablet, then perhaps this issue can be corrected soon.
Hi all,
The NT does not support Channels above 11 on WiFI networks...so if you router is on Auto-mode, it might choose a channel higher than that...and puff...no net...
Also, I had a Netgear Router which had some WPA2 incompatiblities with my both my Blackberry and my NT. Flashing the Router's firmware, also solved my problem.
Hope my experience is helpful.....
Cheers,
Gizmo
Gizmo, thanks for the suggestions but I do not think this is a router channel issue. What is happening is that the NT WiFi seems to lock-up (possibly driver issue). Bringing up Settings and tapping to turn off WiFi results in a grayed-out WiFi toggle (not "Off" but inactive). Attempting to touch WiFi again after this produces a message similar to "WiFi is not responding" (I don't remember the exact message now). My routers are set with fixed channels 1 and 6 as well.
Hi, I'm sorry, but I'm having trouble getting WIFI to work on my NT. The thing is: it only works disabling the password on my home network! But I want to maintain a secure connection... Can someone helpe me? Thanks in advance!
waking the wifi
Don't know if I'm late or not, but I actually found a resolution to this issue by downloading an app from the Google Play store called Wifi Manager. It's free and as soon as you launch it, it'll instantly re-wake and reconnect your wifi within less than 1 second. It's not intended for that use but it helps big time!
I have an LG G4 running stock Android 6. Been using the stock email client for years to connect to a google hosted email account, via their imap servers.
All of a sudden I get intermittent connectivity to imap.gmail.com over my wifi connection. The message 'The server is unavailable. Please try again" comes up all the time. If I turn on the Private Internet Access VPN the phoen connects fine, if I turn on cellular data - it connects fine.
I ran a trace route on the phone to imap.gmail.com and it gave me one hop which resolved to a Verizon host.
My desktop connects to the same servers and have not had email issues with it, seems isolated to the phone. So my thought is that there is not anything wrong with my local network here. The rest of the apps seem to work ok on the phone, so it doesn't seem to be a global wifi issue.
Any thoughts on further testing or ideas on what to try?
Some more diagnosis steps.
I installed K9 mail and it works fine.
I tried the native mail client app on another wifi connection without VPN and it worked.
I changed from imap.gmail.com to imap.googlemail.com and get the same result.
I am running out of ideas on things to check, beginning to think that I need to do another factory reset and see if that fixes the problem. Unless there is someway to adjust server timeout settings on the native client.

I have tried different Wi-Fi connections but it sill once in a while tells me that specific app can't work on Wi-Fi, only with mobile data. The issue with that is that I don't have good signal reception at home. Would appreciate any suggestions to solve the issue. I have tried several solutions found online such as: uninstalling and installing back again with a backup, deleting cache and data, resetting Network settings. I have never had an issue like this before with anyother phone.
You can keep the Wi-fi connection at the center of the house which will cover eventually every place, or keep it closer to your room so it won't get disconnected! As for the apps, you can go to the app settings and change the network usage from mobile data to wi-fi. Which apps are not connecting to Wi-fi?

It only happens with the WhatsApp app. I think I found a workaround. This problem may happen if you have multiple access points in your house. Even though is not a proper solution (the issue never happened with my old phone), you just have to turn off and on Wi-Fi and dismiss the notification. WhatsApp will probably work fine after that.
