I am running Vegan GTab 7.1.0, and everything was fine. Suddenly though, the only thing that can access the internet is the browser. Amazon App store, Kindle, Google Calendar and the Market, and others can't get to the internet. Market is the only one that gives an error message (no connection - retry), Amazon App store and Kindle simply try to connect forever. Calendar doesn't seem to do anything, but my appointments are not showing up. My Google Book reader says I have no internet connection, but the Google (RSS) Reader has no problem connecting.
The wireless panel claims I am connected (and clearly I am since the browser works).
I have rebooted, no change. It's been this way for days, so it's not a short-term glitch.
The only thing I noticed that's different is that I used to have an icon in the status bar shaped like a slice of pie indicating the internet connection. That is now gone. The full-circle icon with the W in it is still there.
I appreciate any suggestions.

right, this one is a weird one, and i just cant figure it out!
i have 2 android devices at home; a Nexus One and a HTC One S. both exhibit the same issue
in short, when I'm connected to wifi at home, i'm unable to use Google Play or send pictures in whatsapp. gPlay says no network or network timeout when opening the Play app, and whatsapp will just sit there trying to send a photo (the little grey clock icon).
when i'm on any other wifi network; home, friends or parents house, or use the vodafone (UK) network they both work.
to make it weirder, i can push install apps via the Play Store via a PC browser when i'm on wifi, i just cant use the Play app on the phone.
so, it seems like something specific to my ISP/home network right?
so far, this is what i've done to try and fix the issue...and the outcome (works = apps function as expected. fails = i continue to experience issues):
- enable Internet Passthrough via USB cable on the phone (uses laptop network connection). this works. Eliminates router issues?
- configure infrastructure wifi with windows7 Internet Connection Sharing and connect phone to this new wifi network. this fails.
- tried another AP from work (Cisco 1130AG - we use these at work where i am able to sucessfully connect). This fails. Eliminates potential wifi chipset compatibility issues?
- full wipe of HOS phone. this fails.
- used google to find many reports of similar issues, but seem to be the opposite of me; they sugest wifi as a solution, with broken APN settings, or to clear cache of the 'google play store' app on the device experiencing issues.
- opened firewall ports on router (TCP/UDP 5228 according to the google play FAQ), also stuck phone in DMZ. this fails
- firmware and full factory reset on router. fails.
it's been going on for so long that i cant remember when it started (a number of months). i've changed ROMs on my HOS phone and that has no effect either. i dont recall having issues relating to anything specific; one day it just started happening and not worked since.
have i missed anything, and can anyone think of any more ideas? is this something i'm just going to have to live with? does google have any human contact support method for this?
Dear friends, I am facing this weird problem since a couple of days. I mostly use my home's broadband connection's wifi to connect my Desire HD. Recently, a message popped up in my notification bar saying "Sign in to your wifi network" (See attachment). After that I am unable to use most of the google services including Play Store and Google Maps. If I click this notification (Sign in to wifi) I am directed to a website in my browser "http://173.194.35.99/generate_204" which is blocked by my ISP. In Play Store: No Connection. Retry. I am using cm10.1 and also have tried reflashing different roms but the problem persists. Also, the wifi icon remains white in color after connection and does not turn blue. I can use any other internet related app e.g. facebook, firefox etc without problem. I have also checked my hosts file but there is nothing wrong there (Screenshot attached). Help is appreciated.
And yes I can use play store via mobile data but its too expensive here.
i face same thing sometimes
solution is: use a VPN when want to use Google Play
It used to work about a month ago.
Whenever I went to the mall, or this one coffee shop, and also at 7-11 outlets, I would get the notification "Sign in to wifi network", then I get redirected to their login page when trying to visit any webpage in my browser, I sign in, and I can connect after.
But I have been playing around with my android in the past month
- installed AFWall+ to allow only Opera Mini to connect on 3G
- installed ProxyDroid to view the traffic on one of my games (and to get infinite gold lol)
- added Charles Proxy certificate
- installed and uninstalled XPosed framework
- other stuff
And I just recently realized, I never get the "Sign in to wifi network" notification anymore, and I just get a cannot connect error on the browser.
It seems my phone's ability to sign in to captive portals has been completely broken somewhere along the way. It used to work 100%, now NONE of the places work.
Is there any way I can fix it?
Phone: DTC GT-18 Sparkle (Mediatek chipset)
OS: Vanilla OS that came with the phone (4.2.2 Jelly Bean)
I've had this problem for many months on my Samsung S7 (it suddenly appeared). Now that I've bought an S10e I'm very displeased to have the same exact problem again. I didn't transfer anything from the S7 (knowingly. Perhaps some Google/Samsung auto-restoration of settings without my knowledge). The S10e was installed from scratch AFAIK.
Problem:
On the Gmail app downloading attachments on WiFi works fine. On mobile data it never works. It does nothing at all. Hitting preview continuously shows a 0% progress bar.
All other things work without issue on mobile data: Sending and receiving mail, browsing, navigation, YouTube, etc. is normal. Only Gmail attachments don't download...
I don't have adblockers or antivirus. Everything is updated. Gmail isn't on the background data restriction, nor do I use that function.
I tried the private DNS function, that didn't help either. Clearing the app cache and app data didn't help either.
+ VPN.
I spent some hours testing, and most of the time with an active OpenVPN tunnel (all traffic redirect through tunnel) to my home or to my office it works! The moment I disconnect the VPN, it stops working.
(Seems also to work on a LT2P Ipsec tunnel).
Some kind of DNS issues?
I have an older Motorola and an older Sony phone which don't show this problem, so it's not stemming from my Gmail account or my provider.
What can I try to fix this problem?
Hey guys. So my Mate 20 Pro has the WEIRDEST issues. When connected to wifi a few web pages etc are not opening. Instagram can't refresh feed etc. But if I use my Mobile Connection or use a Proxy when connected to the wifi everything works. The same wifi connection on the pc works flawlessly. Opens every single page immediately including the ones not opening on the phone, and even plays games effortlessly.
What do you think is holding back this connection on my phone?
Sounds like you were using public WiFi and some tend to use a firewalls which block lots of different things, I was on the train the other day and they didn't allow forums
The wi-fi on my phone has been screwed since day one. It still 'works' for most things, like games and such, but web pages or links in a reddit app will mostly load (the progress bar will speed along and then grind to a halt) and then... Nothing. When I googled around, it seems like Huawei devices in general are known for this - a smattering of people have devices that are simply broken on wi-fi. Now, I haven't done extensive testing, so it may be the wi-fi devices in combination with the phone that are the problem. It isn't like I have tested this with all kinds of types of routers/bands. It certainly is strange, normally when a wi-fi signal is pooched you simply 404 or stop dead. The way my phone 'almost' loads sites makes it feel like an error checksum protocol spiraling out of control, choking the connection.
If I didn't have a lot of data with my plan, I would have attempted to return my phone.
