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!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281034
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.
Howdy, so I did a factory reset last night and since then my Prime cant seem to find my location , in any weather app or maps.....i tried a factory reset a few more times but still no luck....any ideas on what i can try to resolve this would be greatly appreciated!
Assuming you have location services turned on in the settings, remember tablets aren't meant to use gps. If you need gps, go buy a garmin or smartphone, because everyone around here will tell you tablets dont need gps.
I dont care about GPS, never my intention for the tablet.
Location sevices were all checked and that part of it worked perfectly before the factory reset.
Just got to work and it seems to connect ok here. Not sure what happened at home but I will test this evening.
Do you have another android device to test ?
It could be that Google doesn't know about your router's location. They have a database of wifi router locations and maybe they never got yours.

Yep, my Thunderbolt works fine at home.
I will test it this evening whenget back .
Thanks!
Uncheck the ALL location options, then save. Then check them again, you will get a nice terms and conditions dialogue, accept it. Save.
This is crazy....i had location working all day at work and the gym.
I get home and it can't find location. Weird thing is it was fine until i did the reset.
Ugh

I was curious because I had similar issues when I first turned on my prime but I had to go set the setttings like you have them to get it straightened out. Assuming that you have not already set everything up again, have you tried another factory reset?

I did a factory reset, that is when this particular issue starting happening.
Before that location was not a problem for me, at home or on any other wifi.
I did the factory reset intially because it was acting weird, sluggish and non responsive so I figured I would give that a shot before pursuing anything else ...and now my location service wont work at home. Which is strange because it does work on several other wifi spots that I have tried.
I read somewhere that Google can sometimes lose your wifi/router from its DB, just havent found out if there is a way to maybe force it back..?
The fact that it works everywhere but my home which is where I use it like 95% of the time kinda sucks...Maybe I will ping Asus and see what they have to say about it.
Dear All, Good Day
I am using Galaxy S II. Alk was good few days ago but now i cannot access Google Play as it always throws Connection Timed Out msg with the retry tab under it.

I just solved my problem! Since I'm running a newly installed ROM, I wondered if my APN settings were correct (you would think so, since I could browse the net over data). Anyway, I went into the APN settings, and there were several 2Degrees APNs configured. I changed my default from "2degrees mobile" to "2degrees internet", and now Google Play works over data!
Having same problem.
Using Neatrom 3.5 on my S2.
In UK with Giffgaff.
Cant access Play store over 3G/HSPDA+ , But over WiFi its fine.
Tried all the tricks - clear cache, sign in out, reset time, reset phone and reinstalled ROM
If i access play store over WiFi first (then turn WiFi off), then i can at least continue to access/browse it over 3G/HSPDA+, but i can only make new purchases over WiFi and never over Cell data.
Something weird going on

To solve the problem one thing i did was to go to Google Services Framework and clear data, reboot, clear play store data reboot and it should work.
Managed to fix my problem.
I tried all the clearing data/caches, relogging in etc etc and none of that worked.
After reading onlyonejoefish post about his carriers APN settings, it got me thinking.
As i'm in the Uk with GiffGaff i was getting my APN settings from texting "settings" to "2020" and a configuration message came back with them in - and that is what i'd been using.
However i downloaded an app to delete all my phones APN's, then manually inputted my APN settings myself.
This solved my problem, i can now access the play store over cell data
Works with 3G but doesnt work on wifi
I get connection timed out on wifi but when I try with 3G it's working fine.

Finally solved the problem
i solved the problem of google in my android by downloading a app from this link below:
downloadhotportal.blogspot.com[/url]
:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
Do this and then this, noting accounts.db has moved to /data/system/users/0/ on Android 4.2. Note: This removes all your accounts from Android not just your Google account, but having to re-add them is a small price to pay for a working Google Play.
After this happened again, I tried an alternative to removing accounts.db which worked well. I created another Google account then went to
menu => Accounts
In Google Play and added my new Google account. Then I switched back to the original account. To clean up I went to
Settings app => Accounts => Google
Selected the new account then selected "Remove account" from the menu button.
Hi All!
I own a desire x which is unrooted, and have been using it for around a year. Recently, Google play has stopped working with MY WiFi only . It keeps on loading showing the circular sign and nothing appears ... However , it works on any other WiFi network or even when I use mobile data ..... I have researched a lot and tried pretty much everything except a factory reset .. any suggestions? I read on some other forum that even a reset didn't fix the problem :/ Please help
If it happens only with your wifi, tell us how is your setup? Which type of wifi router, which security options and so on. Maybe there is something wrong there. Also, have you tried reconfiguring your wifi or even resetting your wifi router?

Reset your router first (just turn it off and then turn it on again) if that doesn't work I think you will have to factory reset your phone

Factory reset the phone, make a backup of your apps, contact's etc. beforehand
Then, as @GtrCraft said, try a factory reset of your phone (backup important data first!)
Try using a Proxy or alternative way to access the Playstore, can you access from the web browser on you're mobile ? is it possible you're ISP has blocked the Playstore?

Try clearing cache and maybe data for both Google Play services and Google Play Store, if there is "uninstall updates" shown, do the "uninstall updates", reboot and let the Play Store updating again.

Found the SOLUTION!
What I did was that I changed my DnS of my WiFi network on my phone to 8.8.8.8(which is the Google dns) and it works!!!!thanks for your responses anyway !!!
Ok, so there exists some kind of DNS block in your WiFi network, strange. But if you don't want to use Google DNS, you can also try OpenDNS (IPs are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220)
Hey folks.
I´m new here and I hope you guys can help me. I just can´t find a solution to the folowing problem:
I can not get any connection to Play Store via Wifi. It also doesn´t connect when I try to login my phone with my google account. Google Voice recognition also can not be reached. Besides that the Internet works just fine in Chrome!
I am also getting nowhere when trying to upload something in DropBox... DB is not establishing any connection. Probably this has something to do with it.
Everithing is working just fine with "mobile data" (G3?)!
I have tried evering including deleting cash, deactivating & reactivating all the relevant google apps, deleting google account from phone etc... I suppose that the problem could be my wifi router, but I´m not sure and I don´t know how to fix it. (I´m using NETGEAR WGR614 v6)
I am using Samsung G. SIII, GT-I9300, CyanogenMod "cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-i9300.zip", Android 4.4.4. The flashing worked perfectly with "ROM Manager". But I remember heaving the same problems with stock ROM. That´s also the reason why I don´t wont to do a reset... Don´t think it´s going to change much.
Thanks in advance!
