No Connection Google Play Store and Sign in to wifi - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear friends, I am facing this weird problem since a couple of days. I mostly use my home's broadband connection's wifi to connect my Desire HD. Recently, a message popped up in my notification bar saying "Sign in to your wifi network" (See attachment). After that I am unable to use most of the google services including Play Store and Google Maps. If I click this notification (Sign in to wifi) I am directed to a website in my browser "http://173.194.35.99/generate_204" which is blocked by my ISP. In Play Store: No Connection. Retry. I am using cm10.1 and also have tried reflashing different roms but the problem persists. Also, the wifi icon remains white in color after connection and does not turn blue. I can use any other internet related app e.g. facebook, firefox etc without problem. I have also checked my hosts file but there is nothing wrong there (Screenshot attached). Help is appreciated.
And yes I can use play store via mobile data but its too expensive here.

i face same thing sometimes
solution is: use a VPN when want to use Google Play

[Q] some apps suddenly can't connect to the internet

I am running Vegan GTab 7.1.0, and everything was fine. Suddenly though, the only thing that can access the internet is the browser. Amazon App store, Kindle, Google Calendar and the Market, and others can't get to the internet. Market is the only one that gives an error message (no connection - retry), Amazon App store and Kindle simply try to connect forever. Calendar doesn't seem to do anything, but my appointments are not showing up. My Google Book reader says I have no internet connection, but the Google (RSS) Reader has no problem connecting.
The wireless panel claims I am connected (and clearly I am since the browser works).
I have rebooted, no change. It's been this way for days, so it's not a short-term glitch.
The only thing I noticed that's different is that I used to have an icon in the status bar shaped like a slice of pie indicating the internet connection. That is now gone. The full-circle icon with the W in it is still there.
I appreciate any suggestions.

Google Play and Youtube connection problem..

That's my problem, Google Play can not connect "try again" and sometimes it shows me two erros: 495 y 923, and YouTube can not connect. But if i use 3G connection yes, It works!
*I already read the following things and i´m still with the same problem:
- "Reboot Mobile"
- "Clear cache and data from Google Play app and Market"
- Yes.. Gtalk works form me and i can talk with others..
- "Reinstall Google Play and Youtube apps"
In 3G connection it works, but if i change to wifi doesnt works. I can use internet with the wifi but google play and youtube dont. I've used the wifi connection since I have this phone and suddenly i have this problem.
Any ideas?
Do you have droidwall or some sort of firewall?
Can you connect via another device?
Have you restarted your phone/router?

[Q] weird wifi issues with android! (play store & whatsapp)

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?

Youtube tap to retry

Hello!
I have a bug in the app for a long time, and I haven't managed to figure out a solution.. Sorry for bringing it up again here, but I looked all over previous threads, and there was no answer in them, not one that worked for me anyway..
The app won't let me watch more than one video in a row without Wi-Fi. Playlists have become useless, and I can't really use the app without restarting it repeatedly. After one video it says that there was a problem connecting to the server, tap to retry, and usually tapping the screen doesn't help. The sign of the cellphone's internet changes constantly between H+ H and 3g when it tries to load videos (and only then. The internet works fine otherwise).
With Wi-Fi the app works fine.
Thanks, Itai
Mostly the problem is with your Data connection. Youtube app needs constant and good internet connection, the constant change of H, H+ and 3G puts very high impact on connection strength.
Just a symptom

The constant change of the sign is a symptom of the problem, not the problem itself. In other apps (and on the first-played video on youtube each time) the phone dose'nt have any problem staying in the H+ sign.
The cause of constant sign change indicates poor signal from your service provider, when the app requests for a good bandwidth. Youtube app may not work on weak connections. If you ever tried, you should also see 'Connection Timed Out' error in Play Store. Happened the same with my previous device (the connection prob with google apps).
Only solution, change your service provider or switch to other networks, such as 4g, wifi etc.
Not Locking

That's the thing, all other apps work (play store too), and the problem is not related to the signal quality. Even the search of youtube itself works fine. It seems like the app can't "lock" (I guess that's the word) on the server.
So, what do you mean by locking? There is no relation between H+, H, 3g and Youtube server. As I said apps are in no way related to controlling network connection, it depends on service providers.
And according to your sayings, all you can do is Clear:
the app data, google services framework, downloads, google play services, Uninstall Youtube app and reinstall it from the Play Store. I highly recommend updating 'Google Play Services' via Play Store. That's all for now.
Now you may ask why the sign changing happens only in Youtube app- Well, I think Youtube requests for full bandwidth and your data connection can't handle it, too weak maybe. You can also try by changing your location
Still no solution..
Anyone?
