I have just noticed that since a few days back my wifi icon in my CM7 nookcolor is not turning green anymore. Apparently the only related problem is gmail is not refreshing automatically. Google Play is working fine and I'm able to browse the internet.
The problem must be related to my wifi, because whenever I connect to my neighbors or my office wifi, it goes green without doing anything special.
I read google play requires an specific port open in the firewall, which is not open in mine although Gplay is working without it.
Is there any specific port or another setting that should be enabled in my wifi in order to my nook to connect to google servers?
Thanks.

Bump. Any ideas
Out of curiosity, who is your ISP? If you have AT&T U-Verse, you might have a mega router problem. I had one with my Nexus S and the icon wasn't lighting up green either.
It's a Mexican cable network called Cablevisión.

I have this problem that my galaxy s won't always connect back to the 3g network when it becomes available again.
Right now I have to go into settings and there search for available networks and click on the right one and connect to it.
Shouldnt there be an app somewhere or script that could do this from from the desktop, by widget or icon, to force-connect to the network with id '24005' ?
No problem if it requires root, but do you guys know if this is possible at all?
I too would love to be able to switch network operators with a simple app or script.
An automatic switch based on location would be very useful.

Hey I'm new to android, just got a vibrant last week. Decided to unlock it as I travel a lot. The unlock worked, but now I'm having issues with my wifi. I can connect to a wireless network but I cant load pages. The wireless signal is strong and I tried with different routers, but still no luck. Looked through the forum and googled it but couldn't find a solution. If some one could please help with this, it would be much appreciated
try clearing your current wifi settings including remembered connections, passwords, and everything else...then re-scan for networks all over again, that's all I can think of for now
By that you mean just gong into settings->wireless and networks->wifi settings and then just forget the net work, rescan, and rejoin the network? If so, I did that but am still getting the same result. If you can think of anything else or if I didnt do what you suggested correctly please let me know. Thanks

yeah, thats what I meant :/....hmmm...sounds like your connection is working, can you download stuff from the market or is it just the browser? cause I unlocked mine too and wifi works fine
No I cant download anything from the market. I cant do anything that requires an internet connection, but it does show that I am connected to a network.

I sure hope so, thanks for your help
Have you been able to try another network? My first thought was it was in Ad-Hoc mode but I could be wrong. If nothing else restore to stock firmware and then try a different unlock.
Happened to me too. It would show the wifi icon on the notification bar but wouldn't load pages. I'd go to the settings and it'd say can't turn off wifi or can't turn on wifi. And when it was "on" I'd say connecting to modem then it'd just stop. When I was using the browser on wifi it would load a page even when I had full bars. I had to turn it off then back on to load another page. Is this similar to the problem your having?

I hope this doesn't sound stupid but yesterday I uninstalled Advanced Task Manager and poof my wifi started working again. The phone also seems to suffer from less occasional lag without it installed, but that's another story for another thread. Prior to this I had to manually turn my wifi connection off and on, but even that didn't always work. Since the uninstall I have not my wifi connection once. I am currently using the stock rom, rooted with minor adjustments here and there.
hi guys, i also have this problem.
i will be taking the phone in to the tmobile store on thursday.
it shows that i am connected via wifi; however, anything that requires an internet connection does not load.
very frustrating, since just yesterday i used the samsung kies software to tether a network for my laptop. i was testing the capability of the vibrant to act as a modem, and it worked just fine.
any help would be appreciated!
thank you
Charlie
connected but not connected
I also have this problem.
In my Vibrant shows that i connected, but i can not load pages. Someone
found any solution to this problem?
Hi all,
This is happening to me too. Rebooting seems to get Wifi working correctly again. But the problem comes back eventually.
Maybe a bug in the latest JI6 update?
Wi-fi problem.
Someone found any solution for this problem?
Froyo's update will fix this issue?
Thanks.
i hang on you **** iphone users they just bay for its cool smartphone **** iphone android is the king
i have a program that relies on constant gps location but it wont connect to the gps on my i9000 is the gps routed to programs via "com" ports? if so is there a way of finding out what port its on and if i can find out what port the program uses?
its not that the gps isnt working cause it works for all other apps that use it, also i know the app uses gps exclusivly not the getbestprovider() function im just wondering if getting the gps info is different od different devices or does the os talk to the hardware then pass on the data to the app?
melli.
can anybody shed any light on this issue please?

I've had my prime for about a month and a half
I've started to notice an issue with the wifi.
I've tried reading up on google for people with similar problems. But it has been hard to isolate my problem midst the myraid of wi-fi problems primarily those who have issues with the wifi strength being sub par.
The deal is ... Start of the day, walk onto campus, log on to the wifi. Now in order to use my university's wi fi I need to enter my ID details for it in order to connect. So normally I go into Dolphin and click google, and the web authentication page will come up. So I type in my details and the internet works fine, the grey bars turn to blue.
I've read a lot about the difference between grey bars and blue bars, like grey bars means it's connected to the internet but not synced to the google account. However for me, grey bars mean absolutely no internet.
Then further on in the day. I move to another part of campus, then suddenly I've got no internet. I'm guessing because I've disconnected from 1 particular region and attempted to connect in another. Or the transformer prime goes into some hibernatory state while it's unused on standby in my bag.
I can't even get to the authentication page. The signal is fine as shown on wi fi analyser, but it just doesn't transmit everything. I try restarting my tablet, forgetting the wi-fi location and reconnecting. Nothing works.
Still says the connection is fine, but no information is getting transferred.
The same thing happens at home with my wireless internet.
Where the internet bars stay perpetually grey. Now the solution to the problem, is to restart the router, then the internet is fine. However in university, this obvioiusly is not a solution. And I depend on the wi - fi for my university studies, so having no wi fi for the tablet pretty much renders it useless.
Just today, at home. The internet was working fine and I had to restarted the router. And now I've got the problem. If I were to reset the router, I think the problem will cease. Nothing wrong with the signal. It's connected, just no information being transmitted.
Now I'm hoping it's something on the tablet that I can change. If I really have to, I'd factory reset. I've read something about this issue on XDA, where the solution was something to do with static IPs. Now I'm not too tech savvy and have no experience in rooting or playing around with ROMS, so I didn't really understand.
If there is anyone out there has come across this probelm, I'd appreciate any help.
As well as whether factory reset has ever worked for anyone

In home iv always had blue bars, but in my university, they are grey too. I figured this was because of the proxy, but even after configuring the proxy settings in the tablet definitions, i only could get the broswer to worrk, because i think those definitions only work for the http port. In order to be able to connect with other apps, i needed to download an app called proxydroid, but you need root for this. I dont know if this is related to your problem but it may help. Good luck.
Yeah me too when i. Home or somewhere else their green but wen i log into my schools wifi i get gray bars and no internet so what i did os get an everclear portable router lol .. i think its the schools wifi
Blue = full two way communication with Google services
Grey = partial or no communication with Google services
I would suggest removing your account from your device and then adding your account again. We have been able to test that Google services should work on the secure network.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hope Someone SomeDay Someone Really Good Could Fix This Problem :good:
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?
