A friend of mine has just purchased anew Galaxy S III and she's encountered a rather weird issue: some apps can't seem to access her mobile internet connection.
When she's on wireless everything works perfectly, but no mobile internet only some apps (like the browser) manage to connect to the internet, while others (like the mail client or WhatsApp) don't.
Any idea what might be causing this?

Hi LordBlades,
When you say briwser works on mobile data, are you sure your browser is not showing pages from cache only? Did you check your mobile data settings from your provider and is your mobile data enabled in settings?
And is your friend still working with stock or did she root or flash her phone before that issue?
I just want to clarify your issue

Also check in Settings --> Data Usage if she didn't set a mobile data limit.

Problem solved:victory:
Apparently there were 2 APNs set up by the provider and one only allows browser to work. Switched to the other one and everything works fine.

I am having an odd problem with my Optimus one. Internet connection is working fine for all the apps over WIFI, but when i switch to my EDGE connection, apps like Market, Mail (Yahoo), Facebook, Cnet, NDTV and many more are giving an error saying "Network error, Unable to retrieve error". I tested the mobile network settings and i am able to browse fine using browser app in my mobile. Looks like only my browser alone works fine using EDGE. I searched a lot but couldn't figure out the solution.
Note: I recently rooted my device and moved few apps to my SD card using Titanium. I am thinking if i have moved some important app which should be running in internal memory for the apps to retrieve data in EDGE networks. Before rooting i was able to connect to internet for all the apps both using WIFI and EDGE without any problems.
Please help. I am struck with this problem for over two weeks.
Thanks in Advance
im not sure if this will work but try this:
go to settings>wireless&networks>mobile networks>access point names
there set the options that are appropriate for your phone
Yeah.. i verified that.. Thanks for helping. but i don't think its problem with mobile networks as i am able to launch all the websites using my browser apps. Its just that my apps are not able to use the mobile network i guess.

I guess the problem lies with the apn only...
It happens with me sometime as the access point name automatically switches to wap access point when data is not available over gprs
I think your cell is currently using a wap access point...try switching it back to gprs one...
Like here in my bsnl
bsnllive is for wap &
bsnlnet is for gprs....
Press thanks if thos helped....

Hi all,
I have recently bought my Galaxy S2 and I am trying to install apps from android market. I log in to my Gmail account on PC internet and connect my S2 with PC. Then I chose the free app like Angry birds to be installed. Now on the webpage it shows below the app this message: "This app is compatible with your AirTel Samsung GT-I9100.", which means my phone is connected and compatible.
Then I clicked on the install button and a pop up appeared saying that the application will be installed [or downloaded] to your device shortly. But after that nothing happened. I waited for a long time and there is nothing on my S2. I checked the Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications, and it doesn't show anything there.
I am NOT connected to internet on my mobile, because I want to utilize my PC internet which is broadband. I have not enabled any other setting on S2 before doing this. I have only enabled the Settings -> Applications -> Unknown Sources option for convenience. Even the USB debugging is also disabled.
Can someone please let me know what I am missing? Or if there are any other additional settings that I need to do? Please help guys, I am pretty new with this android stuff...
Thanks in advance...!!!
It cannot download to your phone without it having a running internet connection I'm afraid.

So do you mean to say that I need to have my mobile internet connection ON in order to get that app downloaded and installed on my phone?
Unless you can connect to WiFi.

Yes you need internet connection on your phone also, you cannot install it via the pc's broadband connection. Do one thing download connectify and make your pc as a wifi hotspot and then connect to the hotspot and then begin downloading.

Or you could enable data connection on your device like edge or 3g.
Now that you have a smartphone you should probably get it activated.
Airtel has plans like Rs 98 for 2gb Edge.
Thanks a lot guys for the replies.

Frankimm, I have currently activated the 98 Rs, 1 GB plan. But it's 2g. Still, I will try out the ideas you have shared. Thanks a ton...
Will get back to you guys in case of any issues.
Just to update you guys that when I connected internet on my phone, the previously selected app from the android market got downloaded and installed automatically. So this is how it works. Good to know it finally.

I am posting this on behalf of my colleague who owns a SGS-3. He is unable to use Google services (like gtalk,gmail,currents while he is connected to mobile 2G/3G network. But everything works fine when he is connected to Wifi network. The internet connectivity in 2G/3G through mobile data works fine as he can browse the net, open other applications that use internet without any issues. Has anyone faced the same issue and can give a workaround for this?

I've started having the same issue since the morning today. I've reconfigured my entire wireless network, but to no avail. The WiFi is working fine on the laptop, but when I set it up on the phone, it says "Sign in to Wifi Network" inthe notification tray and then doesn't open a login page. Only Google Apps are having issues connecting to the internet, otehr apps like facebook, 9gag and stuff are working just fine.
It isn't working on any of the mobile devices I have. Incidentally, they are all android. S3, XperiaP and Nexus7. I'm guessing this could be because of the blockage of youtube in Pakistan. since google sometimes uses those servers to authentication requests. Does anyone have any other explanations?

Has anyone been able to get to the solution of the "sign in to wifi network problem? Paranoid android 3.99.1 RC1
i have had the same problem since yesterday
i tried re-setting my mobile WiFi router many times
deleted the network and add it again but didn't work
finally i got it , i removed the SIM card and insulted it into my mobile
and turned the 3G on but it was not working so i got another SIM card
and but it in my router and its working now
so the problem was with the SIM not the router
i hope this helps you......

Insulting only works with people. Physical violence works with some electronics.
I've been seeing the same issue, with a large wireless network with multiple routers; some routers are configured in a weird way (seems to be DNS-related, but I'm not sure), and will make Android think it needs to sign in.
So no solution yet, i guess i am having same problems since morning, but play store is working fine on My Mobile Network

All you gotta do is reset your hosts file using adaway, Which actually disables ad blocking.
I'm downloading an app right now from play store.
There is still no solution

Almost everyone is facing this problem. This is due to PTA's ****ty filters for blocking youtube which they cannot manage properly.
It will come to normal eventually, when they figure out how to resolve this issue. it may take some time. Hope soon.

I have the same issue since yerstaday morning. Gives notification sign into wifi network when i click that it open webpage which is block here. According to my research that IP address is of Google and gives location of US due to which play store can be run with hotspot shield because it changes your IP and connect you to US. But I reset app prefernces and delete cache of play store then reboot my Tablet it works fine no notification error but again today in the morning same error comes. Don't know what to do to resolve it .

yeah...that works.
Fixed
I guess I sort it out ..
I am using PTCL Broadband .. All you have to do is to pick up a toothpick or needle, you can find a small hole on the back of your ptcl router ..
Put that needle in it, there is a default setting reset button in that hole .. press the needle for 4-5 seconds until the router restart ..
Wait for the router to restart properly.
Go to 192.168.1.1
Click on easy installation.
Type the username given by ptcl .. You can call ptcl customer support and get your username or you can find it on the box of the router.
Type Password: ptcl
Click on save ... You are DONE

I have been noticing that on the lg g4 and now the v10 that mobile my account shows small usage of mobile data but not the actual amount I used. I might just be a mobile thing. Not quite sure but I too saw the same thing. But I also watched a week's worth of anime on my laptop via router and only was a 20mb increase in hotspot usage.
What are your mobile settings and the app settings? Thanks

I used all the same as the stock apn except I changed to ipv4...I assume you're rooted. Did you turn off the wifi scan setting under wifi?
Yes, I'm rooted and the scanning is off. I have even emailed the developer of the app. His last response was that I need a vpn.
There must be some sneaky software tracking whether you have tethering enabled. My Hotspot Data is being used/throttled no matter if I'm behind a VPN or tethering to another Android phone.
I'm rooted, removed all of the suspicious looking system apps, and set the APN settings to what I've always used before. I'm at the point of giving up and probably just going to use another phone to tether until a stable custom ROM is released.
I used to have this problem on my old Note 4 where the WiFi Tether app was working perfectly but Tmo was still tracking my data usage. The workaround that I found was to connect to a private VPN on my laptop. I used Private Internet Access to hide my IP and then I was able to tether off my phone with Tmo no longer capturing data used. I'm not sure if it will work on my new v10 though since I haven't gotten around to rooting it yet. I think there's a free Google Chrome extension that will do that same thing and for free. I forgot the name, sorry.
On my note 3 the guide I followed said I had to change the build file in a couple spots and then it worked perfect if that helps u guys out at all I really want this but can't use a vpn bc ps4 won't allow it with online gaming and my phone all I got out here in the woods
