When I attempt to connect my brand new HTC One to my home wifi, I get an "Authentication Problem" message. I currently have two other Android devices (Nexus S & 10) connected without issue. And I was able to connect to my neighbors unsecured network, however the signal is too weak to be useful. I even tried removing my password and I still got the same message. What could be causing my One to not like my router, or vice versa? The router is about seven and a half years old, so getting a new one isn't out of the questions, but i'd like to save the money if it is a simple fix.
Disregard, it was an account thing.
To add insult to injury, I cannot connect to mobile data either. I can make and receive calls and send and receive text messages, but no data over mobile. The message I get is "Connection failed due to incorrect APN setting". Did I get a One with a bad radio, or does at&t need to turn something on on my account, or is there something else that i'm not thinking of?

At my new office they have a WiFi network set up for just smartphones. While connected, I can access the internet, use my facebook app, and use many other apps that require the internet.
The problem I am having is I do not receive my push emails (I use the stock Gmail app) while connected to this WiFi network. If I do a manual refresh inside Gmail, it will update fine. But nothing comes through otherwise. Another thing to add is I can't sign on to Talk either while on the WiFi network.
My guess is they have Google Talk blocked which affects push email. I remember the days of the EVO 4G when people were upset at the Talk process running in the background even though Talk was signed out. The reason was the Talk process running had something to do with Gmail push emails. Am I right?
So are there any work arounds to avoid the conflict?
I would just run it on 3G, but there is very bad 3G coverage in the building.
Anyone?...................

My best guess, would be to check out logcat while logged into the Wifi network. I would hope there is some type of error or debugging out put there showing Android isn't able to either authenticate properly due to the way they're filtering traffice or GTalk isn't able to authenticate thus causing Android to not be able to sync. Ideally, Android will output the exact or close to exact url it is uses to authenticate which is being blocked and that'll help you understand the impact from the Wifi network filtering.
those are just some thoughts off the top of my head. hope that helps!
Probably. Mine is at work.

After looking at the log, I see the Gtalk is trying to use port 5228 which some companies have blocked. It would be nice to be able to switch the port to 443 for Gtalk and/or gmail but I don't think that is possible with our phones.
Hi all,
I recently lost or had stolen my S3. Its on t-mobile uk. Its been reported and blacklisted. Unfortunately due to the battery nearly dead and having it blacklisted and maybe the sim removed i could not track and wipe via Samsungdive. Could anyone please advise what will be visible on the screen etc. T-mobile have said only the phone connection, mobile internet and sms are essentially blocked. Im concerned about other data such as already downloaded emails, texts ect being visible and navigation around the phones file system being possible. Would someone be able to look at email apps(system default, gmail and yahoo) or the text app on the phone? Also if a new sim is inserted, would that by any chance effectively create a new profile thus preventing anyone from viewing my old emails and texts etc. I have changed all my passwords. However im thinking of transferring all my emails to new email accounts, deleting the emails from the old accounts and setting the passwords for the old email accounts back to the same as on the phone. Then if the phone connects by wifi the email apps should hopefully update and delete the emails on the phone. Of course hindsight is great and I know I should have had a phone lock in place.
Cheers

If you didn't have any lock at all then everything on the phone will be available, IMEI locking will only prevent the phone connecting to mobile data, making calls or sending texts. Inserting a new SIM won't remove anything.
If you had set the email client to leave emails on the server then you can download them to your pc, delete them from the server, which would delete them on the phone if wifi connection is ever made.
Unless you had your visa card details on speed dial I wouldn't worry too much, it's probably already been factory reset and sold to a mug in a pub.
Thanks for the reply. Ive just noticed....... I changed my google password as a precaution. Ive just switched on my nexus7 and of course it asked for the new password. Therefore I guess if the lost S3 makes a wifi connection it will also ask for a password.
Edit** Sorry it asked for the password because I was connecting to the play store not upon switching on the nexus
(on Net10) On the road I can usually get a browser to open but not much else seems to work the way it should. Navigation, Places, Latitude can't seem to determine my location, or find anything I search for, using towers. If I enable GPS I get my exact location but still can't find destinations (searching...goes on forever). Voice searches always end with "Connection problem". These problems occur whether I'm showing 4 bars of H+, or anything less. In other words--always.
If I'm in a place with wi-fi then all works fine and without hesitation.
No problems with calls, SMS, or MMS.
Can someone please clue me in to the different types of wireless data so I can understand what's not working?
Error msg from Google maps.
An update for future Google visitors: It's taken me lots of time and many calls to the mostly-inept reps at Net10 to get to the bottom of my strange on-road data behavior. I still don't have an answer to my question about
different "types" of data but after a full day of .08Mbps dl speeds I made yet another call and it was finally discovered that when Net10 ported my phone number the rep created a new account for it. When I called to register it it was incorrectly provisioned.
The many calls to Net10 where I was constantly assured "my account" is properly set up was a waste of time--they were looking at the wrong account.
This hopefully is rare so might not be any use to anyone but don't give up bugging them till you get the performance you were promised.
Hey everybody,
Does anyone know how to disable annoying popup messages related to Mobil Data while connected to WIFI? Here's the background; I used to be with Verizon and was one of the treasured unlimited data participants until they recently decided to once again screw their most loyal customers with increases on costs. I left VZW and went to Straight Talk utilizing the 4G LTE Verizon network. Before under VZW, I don't remember my wife's phone showing a message that she could not browse the internet, send email, etc, unless connected to data with the exception of using WIFI. Well since switching over to ST, I've created Tasker Profiles which simulate Juice Defender and turn off mobile data as soon as it is connected to our home WIFI. About every two minutes it popups a messages saying the following:
Title Splash:
Mobile data
Message Content:
Unless you use WI-FI, you will no linger be able to use the Internet, Email or other apps that require a data connection.
Turn off the mobile data connection?
I've attached a screenshot of the message.
How can I disable to popup? I'm sure there's a way to do if someone can point me in the right direction.... Thanks
I should also clarify that the popup returns regardless if you select Okay or Cancel. I even enable Data and still returns.
I found this thread which apparently the issue seems to be related to apps that turn off data or turn it on using automation.

Hey all, been a long time since I've been down here, but I got a Verizon S9+ last week. Bone stock with latest update. I've had wifi calling issues right from the start. My house has terrible service, so with my old S4 I was almost always on wifi calling at home.
My issues:
It seems totally random. Sometimes it automatically switches to wifi calling no problem, other times it simply won't switch, even though I can't get out a text message or a call. Usually a reboot fixes the problem, but I don't need to be rebooting all day when I'm at home, and I miss calls and texts all the time. In testing, it's switching fine sometimes, and I can run upstairs and into the basement while on a call, and it will automatically switch back and forth. Other times, if it has even one bar of service, it will not switch, even though I can't make calls or send texts.
I have tried network reset, and factory data reset, no joy. Wifi calling is on, and I set "prefer wifi while roaming". If I am in airplane mode, even when connected to wifi, it will not make a call or send a text.
Another odd issue is with a group text. If I send a text to multiple people at once, I get an "invalid address" error.
It seems a lot of people on the internet are asking about issues with wifi calling with the S9's, should I just dump this thing and downgrade to an S8?
