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!!

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.
I'm having certain problems with my wifi.
Im running 2.2 froydvillain, Wifi works with maps, email, googlemail, but won't work with the Browser or Market, basically they browser won't load, Market wont download, it's just stuck at "Download Paused".
This is the first I've come across it, I've never had this problem before, so, any suggestions guys?
ever since i flashed back to the original rom, i can't seem to be able to access my facebook account... i mean under "Accounts and sync"... i put in my acct/password and it just stays there loading for a while then says it couldn't connect... so i figured maybe it's my network, but i can still access the web and even use the facebook app... ne idea what's happening?
This happens to me when I was running stock with root only (Just updated to JI5, still stock kinda of), started today (maybe yesterday when I was sleeping but just noticed it today). Wait and see, maybe a fix is on the way.
i'm guessing that it's just a network problem? since i've seen both stock roms and J15 having this problem
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
Hey Guys,
I just purchased a Prime 201 and am having serious issues that i was hoping someone could help me with.
After getting home i switched it on and let it go through the standard setup routine where i was asked for my google credentials and to connect to a wireless network. As part of this process an updated firmware version was detected and automatically installed (I'm assuming the update to jellybean)
Once this was complete i attempted to use the device but instantly started having problems with the playstore and connecting to certain web sites.
1. I can connect to the playstore fine but cannot download any updates or new applications. The downloading screen appears but downloads never actually start
2. Through the browser i can connect to certain websites such as cnn.com or microsoft.com and they work fine. Pages load quickly and all appears to be working as it should. However when i try to access sites such as google.com, yahoo.com or a number of other sites the browser just sits there and eventually times out giving me an error saying that the page is unavailable.
3.Gmail works fine and i can send and receive email without a problem
I have tried a series of cold boots and factory resets and still have the same problem. I tried creating a new google account and that didn't work either. I don't believe that its a problem with my router as i can connect fine from other devices including a nexus phone which has no issues with the playstore or accessing web sites.
I have made no mods whatsoever and this is a straight out of the box configuration plus the automatic firmware update. In settings it reports the android version as being 4.1.1 and the build number as JR003C.WW_epad-10.4.2.18-20121122
I've also tried clearing the cache from the apps settings and am running out of ideas fast !
PS: The only other thing that seemed odd is when i perform a a cold reset and select the RCK optioni just get the android robot error (red exclamation mark) I'm pretty new to all things android and wasn't sure if this was related to the problem or not
Any ideas would be appreciated as this is driving me crazy
Thanks
Chris

If that is a "stock" machine and you have not unlocked it etc then you should not have the dead android.
Contact Asus and get it swapped mate.
