[Q] Play Store Crashes Over Wifi - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys!
Last few days i'm having a weird problem with play store. Everytime i'm using wifi and try to open play store it crashes and closes! BUT, when i disable wifi and try to open it with 3G it opens normally!
I though it was the rom i was using with my Galaxy Tab 8.9, then i installed stock rom back and tried, same problem.
Until now, i though it was a problem with my tab, but i JUST BOUGHT a new phone, a Motorola Razr i, turned it on and tried to open play store over wifi, same problem, but over 3G it opens normally! What could it be?

I have the same problem, it crashes on wifi, and works on edge (yes still on edge).
All my friends have the same problem, i think it is a country wide issue.

I discovered that the problem was in my router. But i thought about that too.

Youtube app, "Connection to server lost."

Hi there,
First time poster - So, "Hey guys!"
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 (Hence the post in this sub-forum,) running on Cyanogenmod 9 (10/04) nightly.
For quite some time, i've had issues with loading videos from the youtube application on my mobile network. Wifi works perfectly fine.
Whenever I go to load a video, it always comes up with, "Connection to server lost, touch to retry."
I'm able to bypass this, by enabling HQ (On or off) and the video loads perfectly.
However, this is only a work around - The issue still remains. It's quite annoying, as It's worked once or twice in the past (This was when I was running stock, without root.)
I've tried everything I can think of. (Reflashing to stock (Rom and kernel,) rebooting, fixing permissions, clearing dalvik cache etc, etc, etc...)
I searched for this exact issue all night last night, and half the day today at work - All to no avail.
Does ANYBODY have the same issue and or know about fixing it?
Many thanks,
Josh
Uninstall ur youtube and install again from play store. Or try to remove google account and re-enter ur account.
I am having the same problems.
Does this not have something to do with the 4.0.4 data problem that has been reported?
Reinstalling youtube doesn't help me.

just refresh it a couple of times .. works for me
OK I messed about with different ROM versions and nothing happened even after a factory reset.
Also updating youtube didn't work.
However I have just installed the latest build 31 of Team Kang and installed an older gapps package from Feb 12 (instead of the Mar 12 package).
Youtube then updated itself automatically on reboot and now works fine off wifi.
It didn't have anything to do with 4.0.4. I stand corrected.

Hi people,
I am currently having this issue on my HTC Desire hence the searching of the entire XDA website for answers. Any help would be thankful.

I have a Galaxy S2 running CM9RC1 and I'm having exactly the same problem. I've tried GApps packages signed from March and April to no avail.
YouTube's mobile site works fine. The YouTube app works fine over WiFi. It fails to load any videos when I'm connected using 3G though and returns the error above.
I've tried a factory reset, cleared cache, uninstalled/reinstalled the YouTube app, tried enabling/disabling HD from within the YouTube app, tried a number of different APNs, selected/deselected the option to preload videos, ensured my flash player is up to date, reflashed CM9 and reinstalled GApps. I've been Googling a couple of hours now and I'm beginning to lose the will to live! :crying:
Everything worked fine prior to me rooting my phone and flashing CM9. I was originally running the official Vodafone UK ICS rom.
I'm beginning to lose faith that I'll be able to fix the problem so would appreciate any suggestions?
TIA,
Bob.
Edit: Well no sooner have I posted that I think I've managed to crack it. I navigated to Settings > Location Services > GPS Source, and noticed that the radio button to use the internal GPS wasn't depressed. I selected it, backed out and now things seem to be OK.

I'm having the same problem. My GPS Source was also unselected but selecting it hasn't made any change to the situation. I'm not sure how GPS can effect Youtube performance?
I've had the same issue with youtube on both my Epic Touch 4G (Galaxy S2) and Nexus 7 device.....but only at my house. Youtube works perfectly elsewhere. Can it be something with my home wifi network? The nexus 7 is wifi only and I have never been able to get youtube to work at my house but it works when connected to other wifi networks elsewhere. Also, my mother-in-law is visiting this week and her kindle fire will not play youtube while in our house, getting the same "Connection to server lost, touch to retry" error message.
All signs point to something being up with the wifi network but I don't know how to solve this issue.
Wound up being Comcast's throttled DNS. All good now.

Try looking at the apn you are on in your settings. Mine was on EPHRD. Moved it ti LTE and now you tube is working again.
I have the SGN2 WITH SPRINT.
disable "restrict background data" from data usage. or if you have any firewall apps disable it then try. hope it will work for you as like me.
sorry for my bad english

S Voice

Here is the Samsung s voice off the galaxy s3 try it and see if it works I can't seem to get it to work on cm9
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26300180#post26300180
Edit: I got it to work using root explorer push it to system/apps and click on it and install it like a normal app.
IT ONLY WORKS ON ICS
Enjoy
Why only S Voice, why not the whole TouchWiz Nature UX with lock screen and all on the Player?
But it's still amazing!
It went well a couple of times when it force closes and "can't connect to server", now I can't use this anymore!

Yes it does not work that well since it is meant for the s3 but you could try rebooting and maybe it might start back to work
How did you manage to get it working in the first place? I always get the 'Can't connect to server' error

If its saying can't connect to server maybe its your internet connection. If it does not work again try reinstalling the app. I think you have to be running some sort of ics build or it won't work.

I've tried reinstalling it many times in system/app or data/app and I've tried changing the permissions
I'm currently running the AOKP tablet mode ROM.
I'm fairly sure its not my internet connection as I can browse the web using any of the browsers from Google Play. However, in some apps my wifi connection can't be detected even though I have full signal. That might be the issue but I don't know how to fix it

Oh your running tablet mode then that's probably why, some apps don't work that well in tablet mode.
Got it working
I managed to get it working
First I uninstalled the app and I downloaded it again just to make sure. I also changed the UI to phone mode by changing the DPI.
I then copied the app to my internal sd card and I installed it as a normal app without changing permissions or anything
I also went into the S Voice settings and unticked 'Use Location Data' and then everything worked, even in tablet mode.
I'm not sure whether the location services or the tablet mode was messing it up though, but on the upside it works now!
No one can get touchwiz ux yet

You have to change your device name to GT-I9300 to use S Voice now

Google play and youtube app not loading?

So I decided to view some videos on the youtube app today, and for some reason it does not load. I uninstalled and tried to re-install the app through google played, but I was unable to download anything through google play. Using the mobile 4g connection, it works fine, but not over wifi. Is there something wrong with my device here?
I'm having the same issues. I'm on a different phone (T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy SII) but YouTube and Google Play are dead for me on wifi. I was able to download an app over 4G but it over wifi I just get "Downloading..."
Yours still failing?
I was having the same problem, reboot fixed it.

Spoke too soon I guess. Both work for me now over wifi. Didn't even have to reboot (rebooted earlier and it didn't fix it). Must have been something on Google's side.
I have the same problem with my lg g3 what do I do???????????????
You can try to reboot your wifi or set the static IP. Hope it works.

[Q] YouTube Issue?

Hi
I have a problem with YouTube in that it won't play a single video unless I'm connected through Wi-Fi. When outside Wi-Fi using 3G as soon as I click on a video I get a "Connection to server lost. Touch to retry" message appear. The same video will play once I connect to Wi-Fi again.
It's been like it for a while now, but never got round to finding out what's happend to it.
I've currently got Omega v32 XXDLJ5 with a stock kernel, it was exactly the same with previous versions of Omega and when I was using CyanogenMod 9.
Can anyone offer some advice (I've tried searching )
I'm 100% sure that the problem is with your Network and not with the phone.

I did think this at first, but then to test it I turned wifi off and set up S3 as a hotspot and tethered my iPad to it and it played a video clip right away. The GS3 just about had a H+ signal yet it worked..
Anyone else have any ideas what my problem could be..?
Thanks

[Q] Google Play is not working.

Hello there, I currently encounter a very annoying problem with Google Play, of which solution is nowhere to be found:
1. Using stock ROM, Google Play becomes extremely slow and most of the time not working at all (Network error), while other applications still work well.
2. Everytime I factory reset, it works for about 5 minutes at reasonable speed, then the same problem occurs again.
3. Tried to reverse back to 4.1.1 but nothing changes.
4. Same problem with different WIFI networks and 3G.
5. Jelly Bam (haven't tried other ROMs yet but I believe they would) fixed the problem completely, but its lack of Samsung Apps and other amazing features (like Smart Stay, S Voice, S Note, ...) quickly made me reverse to stock ROM.
After trying every trick found on the internet (reinstall Google Play, clear the cache,...) with no success, and after two days struggling I am now completely exhausted defeated. My only hope is you guys who have had this problem before could help me fix it.
Thanks a trillion.
I recently had a lot of problem signing in, it turned out for some reason my WiFi and phone didn't want to play game with wpa2 but after changing router to just wpa and resetting all working again, I've seen intermittent reports along similar lines sporadically ever since s3 release
Did you try using proxies?

No, because I haven't got the faintest idea about that kind of gobbledegook as you well know

Yes, I did, soneone suggested 0.0.0.0:8080 but that blocks internet connection to all other applications.
I've discovered that uninstalling Google Play updates will help, but only for 5 minutes or so. After which time the problem persists again.
Now my only solution is to uninstall Google Play updates, (then the app will ask for updating at first run), install some apps as quickly as possible before the connection goes down again. Basically I have to repeat that process every second app downloaded, and that drives me insane!!!

That's interesting but in my case even 3G won't work, and the madness is that Google Play works crazily well in custom ROMs like Jelly Bam and like sh*t in stock ROMs.

I feel the pain, took me 10 days to finally get mine working, I did everything you did multiple times, exact same scenario, uninstall updates, get a connection, next time I go back to it,bam, no connection, tried different Roms, flashed to stock, everything!
I had something similar.
What I did was adding a second Google account, deleting the first one, log in, adding the first account back, then deleting the second account, and log in again.
Works for me hoops it's working for you.
