I have been using my neighbour's WiFi. From the beginning I couldn't access to YouTube or some of the major porn Websites or, use google play store to download or update softwares/games(which I discovered later. Without orbot, downloads/update would just stuck at pending/downloads).
So, I started using Orbot every time I wanted to use Play store or YouTube or any other website blocked.
Today I realized that I can no longer access internet without using Orbot(an exlaimation marks appears next to WiFi icon).
I want to understand what's going on here.
Thanks for your time reading.
P.S. I am new here.(This is my first post on XDA.)

I've been having a weird problem with my Vibrant for the past ten hours or so, and can't seem to find a solution. I was running stock rooted JI6 and attempted to apply some app updates through the Market, but began getting network connection errors. I gave it several minutes, and when it refused to let me in, I restarted the phone, which had no effect. I did an ODIN restore and reverted to factory settings, and the phone refused to sign me into my Google account, saying it couldn't establish a reliable connection. I hunted around and eventually got signed in using the YouTube app workaround, but now when I try to access the Market it says the server is unavailable.
I haven't heard any buzz about a major outage, so I assume this is not something on Google's end. For the record, my connection is fine (tried to sign in to Market on both 3G and WiFi, no go, but browser and other internet-connected apps work fine, as do Google's sync services once I've managed to sign in through YouTube), and my Google account appears entirely normal PC-side. I saw an old thread about people having problems in China etc. after Google was partially blocked there, but as I'm in the United States, I don't think that applies. I am completely at a loss, and now I'm stuck with a factory-settings phone with no apps because I can't get into the Market.
I've followed the XDA forum for a couple months now, but this is my first post. I'll be heading to a T-Mobile store to ask them about it later today, but I'm hoping you folks will be able to shine some light on the subject in the meantime and perhaps even save me the trouble. I'm still pretty new to smartphones and Android, so go much beyond rooting and ODIN 101 and I'm quite ignorant. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks for your attention!
Market works fine on my end. Try clearing the data on market that has helped me in the past. From home screen menu/ settings/ applications/ manage apps/ market/ clear data and cache reboot.
There's no entry for the Market in my apps list, since it's pre-installed.

No change.
Market web installs from "market android com" never start. ('m not allowed to post links)
Under "My Devices" in the settings page it shows my Atrix, It has a "Registered on" date (today) but it doesn't have a "Last Used" date (it shows a dash).
I have followed all the suggestions on the help page. (log in, log out)
My Market App version is 2.3.2.
Google Talk works. The Market App works. Clearing Data and Cache for the Market doesn't help any.
I'm signed in with a regular Google account. (not an apps account)
Any suggestions?
This might sound obvious, but have you tried restarting it or resetting it?
Yep. Lots of restarts.
Does the market work on anyone else's Atrix or is it just me?
I read somewhere that if you open Google Talk and sign out then sign back in, it should get the market web installs working because of a communication problem.

Yeah, that's on the help page. Didn't work.
Empty market cache, and uninstall market upgrades (if any). Had the same problem before with other phones, I do not think this is atrix specific.
Getting the market to upgrade afterwards required some manual steps as well. Too lazy to look that up now though, just google it.

I emptied the cache and uninstalled updates. On the first launch I got the old market, on the second launch it had upgraded back to the new one. I also tried a reboot. Still doesn't work. Good idea though, thanks.
Bump! Any fixes for this? I'm having the same issues. The Market web store even lists my phone being last used on Feb 25 (the last day it was pushing app downloads from my computer). However, when I download apps from my phone, it shows up on my account online.

I thought I was having this same problem, but I was in battery saver mode and had auto-sync disabled. After re-enabling it, the downloads just began automatically.
I had the same issues at first and tried all th above fixes and the ones on the google help page. nothing worked at first. i waited a few hours and tried downloading again and everything worked fine. i can't really explain how but it just started working.
I have had this problem for 5 days =/ Now I just chrome to phone the link and open it with market =/ I have done all the above, contacted Google and posted at Motorola Site. Nothing works.
Darn I am having the same issue. Just got my Atrix an hour or two ago...so we will see what happens. I'll try and keep you updated.
Edit: Mine just started working, so I don't know what the problem with yours is. Hope you get it worked out.
I have same problem here with my Hd2 DFT android Rom maket works fine but it never start downloading any apps :/ please some help ??!!
Do you have apps/the market to update only on wifi? And you haven't opened the apps to have them generate an, "I'm here", marker for the market to send you stuff, when you were hooked up to wifi?
I wondered the same thing...
Good news guys Google talk was not working for me so I re flashed my phone and reconfigure it now Google talk work and market too I don't know if it will works for you but for me it working great now hope it help a bit

Port 5228
This may not help everyone, but I ran into this same problem.
Each day, my downloads weren't sent to my phone and my gmail wasn't pushing consistently, but by the time I got home, everything seemed to be working again. I noticed that I was also unable to log into google talk on my office's wifi (which seems to be the key to getting everything else to work). A coworker with a samsung android phone was having the same problem.
We worked with our network administrator to unblock certain ports on the wifi firewall. We finally resolved this issue by opening port 5228. Now everything is pushing correctly. See if this port is blocked on your wifi.
The weird thing that kept throwing me off is that even if I switched off wifi and used ATT, it was still having problems for a period of time.
Hello Everyone, let me start by saying I have been doing so much reading on this webpage in the past 24 hours (and casually browsed before) and I just want to say thanks. The site is awesome and the users are even better.
I recently installed ia3 of Android on Intel on my Acer Iconia W700 tablet. The guide to install was fantastic. I've had some issues getting GApps installed but I finally got them working where I went thru the google setup and everything and logged into GMail able to see everything so I tried my luck with the play Store.
The App loads and says "No Connection, Retry" I have tried installing a new .apk a few times, I even tried some of the suggestions regarding the ETC file (editing is, deleting it and all sorts of reboots etc) I've tried deleting the apk entirely and reinstalling and I just can't quite seem to figure it out. I am even able to install play when I am in system/app and long press and click install and I notice the version of play updated. Still having the same no connection error when the store opens up.
I know it must at least have an internet connection because anything I start typing into the search box it offers suggestions based on what I am typing. Ex: when i type in "Chrome" it populates suggestions such as "Chrome, chromecast, chromecast app, chrome browser, etc."
There has got to be something I am either doing wrong, or can try a different way. Thank you in advance for any help, and I'll make sure to click some thanks buttons along the way.

Hi all. I've got a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 on Lollipop 5.0.1. My phone has refused to connect to Google Play Services. I tried to add a Google account to my phone but couldn't. That was when I first noticed the issue. I cleared cache and even data of Google Play Services (and Google Services Framework) to no avail. I then went as far as to disable Google Play Services on my phone and then re-enabled it (according to the play store on the Web I've got the latest version). Still not working. And now I don't even have any google amount on the phone. Apps like Google Now and the Play Store don't don't even really open again.
Everything works fine on the Web (even using Chrome). When I try to add an account now, it recognises my email address and password (I deliberately tried a wrong combination and it was detected immediately) but gets stuck at the end of the process (pls see pic attached). What do I do?
On a separate note, I tried to do a factory reset but the phone just keeps displaying "shutting down" without actually shutting down (although I find some things like the phone time do get reseted). What do I do?
Finally, can't use Smart Lock anymore. The Smart Lock screen displays just the Smart Lock title up top. The screen proper remains blank. What do I do?
But by far my major problem is the Google account issue. Thanks.
Still can't post a pic here. The screen I get when trying to connect my Google account says "Can't sign in"
Can't establish a reliable connection to the server.

Have you ever been able to connect?
Are you doing this via WiFi or mobile connection?
If you log into Google on a computer and go to your security settings/list of trusted devices, is it there? If so how many times? Also do you have 2 factor authentication enabled?

Thanks for your response.
Firstly, yes. The issue started just last week. All was fine before then.
Mobile connection.
No two factor authentication. Google doesn't seem to list my country, so can't put in my phone number.
Did you manage to log into Google security and review the list of connected apps and the list for device activity?
Also what phone do you have? Are you rooted? Do you have a custom rom and did you install gapps yourself?

Hey there guys,
So. I recently rooted my s6 edge with the method show on the website highonandroid.com Everything was going fine and dandy. I had a little trouble with downloading and installing the USB Driver (For some reason I didn't have permission from the administrator) My account is administrator. But, got Odin opened up and got a green pass like the video shows. I go ahead and download titanium backup because it is recommended everywhere hah. I wanted to start using Tor. In which you must download Orwall, Orbot, and Orweb to do so in mobile. Well, Orbot and Orweb are in the play store but Orwall is not. I had to download an .apk file to get orwall. There were also links for apks for Orbot and Orweb as well, but just downloaded it from the play store. After that, my internet connection crashed. I did try to run Orwall and Orbot, it connected and what not. But then when I tried to use Orweb, it started. I'm really hoping downloading that apk didn't do anything, and I really just want to get my internet up again.
I've tried rebooting, the router, even tried at a friends house with their router and nothing.
I hope this makes sense to some of you guys. I'm sure it will. This is XDA. I'm also sorry if this isn't where I should post this. It just said post questions here.
Thanks in advance
