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!!

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.
I lost my SGS2, I had recently registered my phone with DIVE, but switched to a new ROM. I also have latitude active on my phone. If someone switched the SIM, will I still be able to track it?
Time to save for a new phone
There's an app called Plan B from the makers of Lookout. If your device is logged into your Google account and connected to the internet you can go to the online Play Store and push it to your phone. It will auto start and help you start locating your phone!
Plan B
Only if GPS is enabled .. and location will be sent to Google account already registered.

Yeah you need to keep an eye on the account because whoever has your phone will also get notifications of you tracking them (and could delete them) if the phone doesn't have a screen lock.
If he a flashes a rom then everything will be lost

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.
I had a galaxy tab 2 wifi but it was stolen. I did not install any security apps on my tab so i cant locate it. Is it possible to download apps on the market that can brick the device or apps that are not compatible which can also brick it. so that he cant access my files and the tab.
please help. i tried downloading many apps in the market but it failed.
Try Where's My Droid app to locate it. Another possibility is Plan B. I used Where's My Droid to find my wife's phone. Will only work if the device is still powered on and connected to the Internet. Just go to the Google Play Store via a Web browser to send the install to your tab.

Well, you can't download anything to it unless it connects via Wi-Fi. Once it does that, you may be able to locate it using "Where's My Droid" or "Plan B". If you have already sent those apps to the device via the Play Store, they will install once the device connects (unless the thief knows how to wipe it to factory stock before they try to use it). Maybe if you are lucky, the battery died and if they get a charger for it and get it connected to Wi-Fi the apps will install and start e-mailing you its location.
However, if it had a password of any kind to login, they would have to wipe it to even get it connected to another Wi-Fi network, so you are likely just out of luck. I know of no app you could send to deliberately brick it.
This is why Samsung has sites like http://www.samsungdive.com, so you can try to track, lock or wipe your device remotely. I just tried it on my Galaxy S III and it mapped it exactly to my house where it is.
Try plan b ! It's supposedly awesome and its supposed to work great!

i already tried wheres my droid and plan b. but i didnt receive any email. so my last resort is to brick the device by downloading apps from the market. ill try again plan b.
thanks for the samsungdive tip. i didnt know that feature. ill try that on my other samsung phone.
The apps needs to be registered on the phone. You can't just install the app from play store without registering on the phone, if it was possible it would be a serious breach, i could just log in with any of my friend's email, install things from play store and mess up their phone.
Don't think there is any app to "brick" the phone.
Just received my N3 today. Its on stock 4.3. Google Play says No connection. I have tried clearing data/cache in apps mgr, toggling wifi on and off. Any suggestions?
And I dont have a SIM card and getting notifications...would that cause this ???
