both my android phones (htc one, nexus 5) are very slow on my wifi. Play store images wont load and my facebook newsfeed doesnt upadte. Other apps like chrome however work. How can i fix this so that all the apps work. I have already cleared cache and done a factory reset of both the phone and router. Thanks for you help.
Might Be Stock Software
Honestly there are a lot of variables in the ROM that can cause differences in network performance. It would be useful to know what carrier you're on for the one and also a comparison in speed to something non android on the wifi.
I don't know if the good post but I've got WIFI problem on tablet Polaroid MID 9748 Android 4.2.2 kernel 3.0.36, CPU RK3188
Tell me if I've been moderated.
For example, when I switch from an application to the other as my browser to google play, I've to switch my tablet in plane mode in and out for refreshing the WIFI connection.
I don't know where this problem is coming from because I'dont have any problem for watching streaming also the wifi card should work fine.
Could be MTU problem? How to check?
Thank for advise

I've had my prime for about a month and a half
I've started to notice an issue with the wifi.
I've tried reading up on google for people with similar problems. But it has been hard to isolate my problem midst the myraid of wi-fi problems primarily those who have issues with the wifi strength being sub par.
The deal is ... Start of the day, walk onto campus, log on to the wifi. Now in order to use my university's wi fi I need to enter my ID details for it in order to connect. So normally I go into Dolphin and click google, and the web authentication page will come up. So I type in my details and the internet works fine, the grey bars turn to blue.
I've read a lot about the difference between grey bars and blue bars, like grey bars means it's connected to the internet but not synced to the google account. However for me, grey bars mean absolutely no internet.
Then further on in the day. I move to another part of campus, then suddenly I've got no internet. I'm guessing because I've disconnected from 1 particular region and attempted to connect in another. Or the transformer prime goes into some hibernatory state while it's unused on standby in my bag.
I can't even get to the authentication page. The signal is fine as shown on wi fi analyser, but it just doesn't transmit everything. I try restarting my tablet, forgetting the wi-fi location and reconnecting. Nothing works.
Still says the connection is fine, but no information is getting transferred.
The same thing happens at home with my wireless internet.
Where the internet bars stay perpetually grey. Now the solution to the problem, is to restart the router, then the internet is fine. However in university, this obvioiusly is not a solution. And I depend on the wi - fi for my university studies, so having no wi fi for the tablet pretty much renders it useless.
Just today, at home. The internet was working fine and I had to restarted the router. And now I've got the problem. If I were to reset the router, I think the problem will cease. Nothing wrong with the signal. It's connected, just no information being transmitted.
Now I'm hoping it's something on the tablet that I can change. If I really have to, I'd factory reset. I've read something about this issue on XDA, where the solution was something to do with static IPs. Now I'm not too tech savvy and have no experience in rooting or playing around with ROMS, so I didn't really understand.
If there is anyone out there has come across this probelm, I'd appreciate any help.
As well as whether factory reset has ever worked for anyone

In home iv always had blue bars, but in my university, they are grey too. I figured this was because of the proxy, but even after configuring the proxy settings in the tablet definitions, i only could get the broswer to worrk, because i think those definitions only work for the http port. In order to be able to connect with other apps, i needed to download an app called proxydroid, but you need root for this. I dont know if this is related to your problem but it may help. Good luck.
Yeah me too when i. Home or somewhere else their green but wen i log into my schools wifi i get gray bars and no internet so what i did os get an everclear portable router lol .. i think its the schools wifi
Blue = full two way communication with Google services
Grey = partial or no communication with Google services
I would suggest removing your account from your device and then adding your account again. We have been able to test that Google services should work on the secure network.

Hope Someone SomeDay Someone Really Good Could Fix This Problem :good:
right, this one is a weird one, and i just cant figure it out!
i have 2 android devices at home; a Nexus One and a HTC One S. both exhibit the same issue
in short, when I'm connected to wifi at home, i'm unable to use Google Play or send pictures in whatsapp. gPlay says no network or network timeout when opening the Play app, and whatsapp will just sit there trying to send a photo (the little grey clock icon).
when i'm on any other wifi network; home, friends or parents house, or use the vodafone (UK) network they both work.
to make it weirder, i can push install apps via the Play Store via a PC browser when i'm on wifi, i just cant use the Play app on the phone.
so, it seems like something specific to my ISP/home network right?
so far, this is what i've done to try and fix the issue...and the outcome (works = apps function as expected. fails = i continue to experience issues):
- enable Internet Passthrough via USB cable on the phone (uses laptop network connection). this works. Eliminates router issues?
- configure infrastructure wifi with windows7 Internet Connection Sharing and connect phone to this new wifi network. this fails.
- tried another AP from work (Cisco 1130AG - we use these at work where i am able to sucessfully connect). This fails. Eliminates potential wifi chipset compatibility issues?
- full wipe of HOS phone. this fails.
- used google to find many reports of similar issues, but seem to be the opposite of me; they sugest wifi as a solution, with broken APN settings, or to clear cache of the 'google play store' app on the device experiencing issues.
- opened firewall ports on router (TCP/UDP 5228 according to the google play FAQ), also stuck phone in DMZ. this fails
- firmware and full factory reset on router. fails.
it's been going on for so long that i cant remember when it started (a number of months). i've changed ROMs on my HOS phone and that has no effect either. i dont recall having issues relating to anything specific; one day it just started happening and not worked since.
have i missed anything, and can anyone think of any more ideas? is this something i'm just going to have to live with? does google have any human contact support method for this?
Ok somewhat an obscure issue, and the fix that lets a VPN work over tether does not seem to fix it.
I first encountered this on I think 4.3 or 4.2 with my Galaxy Nexus prime. I would use a wifi hotspot, and all connections work fine except for when connecting my playstation Vita. It would say it could not login. So I do a connection test and everything is okay except the attempt to sign into playstation network.
I found maybe 2 other people with the same problem on different devices. I now own a rooted fire phone on 4.6.1. It too has this same problem. And it's believed by some that after 2.1 or 2.2 all native versions of wifi hotspot have this issue. I've tried treve mod, the vpn fix, and a handful of wifi hotspot apps with no luck. I don't know if these apps work as I could not establish even a normal connection through them.
I believe what I need is a kitkat compatible wifi app that doesn't rely on the native hotspot, or some way to modify it if anyone knows what's causing the blockage.
edit: To solve it on my old phone, I actually had to downgrade android to jellybean. I can't do that with this phone though.
Thanks for any help with this.
I'm having a strange issue and wondering if anyone has experienced something similar.. I can access most of the internet (web sites, podcast download, etc), over WiFi and cell data but some things like my imap email seem to get "stuck" (eg, my email client says "socket timeout"). I've learned that if I switch networks, from WiFi to cell or vice verse, the connectivity seems to start working again, but eventually hangs up again. This is happening on both a OnePlus One running Android 2.x and an Asus tablet running 4.4. They both seemed to present this issue around the same time, but a few things changed around the same time that I remember;
1 I installed the WeChat app
2 The WiFi router I connect to most often changed
I uninstalled WeChat but the problem persists.
I want to blame the WeChat app as installing something surreptitious to spy on my network traffic.
Is there any way to see why my network connection is getting "stuck"? Or do I just need to do a factory reset? I'd just hate to go through all the effort of a factory reset just to find I have the same issue.
Hello guys
I have very strange problem with my wifi at home.
Problem is web pages wont load sometimes, sometimes they load few minutes, and sometimes they load instantly.
Same goes for apps like youtube, ebay, playstore.
For example, i google something in web browser, the first search works like a charm, or the second, but the new one then just keep loading forever or wont load at all.
I tryed all android web browsers, stocks, chrome, opera, mozilla, etc, and its all the same, neither works.
The problem exsist on android devices, so far on my note 3, htc m8, samsung s2, and tablet leonovo.
Got 2 wifi networks at home, and on both the same problem.
Tho the wifi works fine on my 3 laptops, no problems at all there.
I have no problem with my devices on other wifi networks, or on 3g,4g network, so it must be something about my home wifi and android devices, since my laptops works with no problem.
bump
any hint or tip would be nice, ty
weird!
If there wasn't any Internet connection, laptops too shouldn't run.
Do anybody else know the password, who can block u?
Nope, noone knows the passwords.
Two routers , and both have problems with only android devices.
But if it were problem with routers, then i should have problems with my laptops too, but thats not the case.
