My Google Assistant, my Google Voice search and Chrome will only respond if I'm on Wifi. I'm on mobile network, with full bars and it just doesn't work. It keeps saying something went wrong or no connectivity but I can still use Facebook and other apps with no problems, it just seems to Google is the problem. As soon as I turn on the Wi-Fi everything seems to work perfectly but as soon as I turn it off Google stops working. Any help would be appreciated.

We have a vibrant and a captivate.. When connected via wifi at home, the market and gmail will not connect, but both phones access the internet just fine otherwise.. They connect fine to the market and gmail using 2G or 3G, or other wifi networks..
Can anyone let me know what settings I might adjust on the router to allow connections to gmail or the market on these phones?
Anyone? I just came back to visit my parents and my market and google apps have been working great until I got back here.. Same problem again...
Seems like for some reason you're not able to connect to Google sever on your network.

Exactly.. How can I change my router settings to allow this? I have 3 Android phones on the network, and I can't get any of the three to connect to any google apps through this network...
very frustrating!

Hi
I'm not sure if it's Android or Transformer prime thing.
My google data (gmail, gcal) syncs properly and immediate when i'm @home with my wifi network, but refuses to automatically sync at the office wi-fi network.
The office network is freely available to the device, i can browse the net without any problems.
Can figure it out why the sync doesn't work.
I have noticed the same issue on mine except my home network sometimes has the issue too. I have resolve it by disabling the sync and then enabling it again. This method works for a little while then it seems to go into the no new notification mode. I have to manually refresh in gmail to get my new mail to show up. It is annoying. I even send test emails to both my phone and tablet, but it will not ccome through until it feels like it or unless I manually update. My xoom does not do that.
I have a sort of similar thing. All I know is that I'll be delivering pizzas while tethered. As soon as I get home, and turn off the tethering, my tablet connects to the home WiFi and gets one or more notification noises as it if wasn't syncing the same way when tethered. The oddity is that it doesn't know I'm on a mobile connection so it isn't trying to save bandwidth. I suspect there is something in the security or ports that makes it's connections to the home network different than when tethering, or when you are at work.
I can't speak to the issue regarding tethering, but for those of you having issues at the office, this is most likely due to firewall rules. I work for a cybersecurity software company, and have been fighting for them to address this as both my phone and prime suffer from the same thing.
If you have a good relationship with your IT/Corporate security people, try bringing it up with them.

do you know if google sync services uses other than 80/443 port numbers?
Not only did I notice this same thing happening I also noticed emails I had are disappearing when not on home network and Wi-Fi tethering with my phone this is weird...... they disappear from my gmail application......
Hi,
Has anyone had similar experience and (better yet) a solution to my issue with wifi connections since upgrading to 5.0?
After the update my Ultra Z GPE losses connection to my home wifi, and other wifi (public wifi,, friend's wifi). Once this happens the wifi app in settings does not see/list the wifi connection. I've tried turning wifi off/on, and refresh but my home wifi (and the public and friend's wifi) do not appear as available. The only solution I've found is to power off and back on again. But doing this several times a day is a pain.
TIA

Well my situation has changed, and perhaps a little less of a pain. Even though in Settings it shows my wifi is connected I am still frequently losing the connection. My apps (i.e., Google browser, Google Now, other apps, etc) do not load/refresh and indicate "No network connection. But now I can resolve the problem by toggling wifi off and on. Better than powering off and on but still a pain.

If your device is rooted try Wifi Connection Fixer ROOT by Zextr. The link is

Thank you for your response. But no my device is not rooted. However, I believe I found the cause of my wifi issue. Separate from my wifi issue I was having some issues with Google Now. So, I uninstalled the Google Now launcher. Guess what? My wifi issue is gone. I have not lost wifi connection since I uninstalled the Google Now launcher.
So I can't seem to find a straight answer on this because most of the results that come up in searching have to do with geolocking due to using VPNs with foreign endpoints, and that is not the issue here. I have a VPN server at home, and I keep my phone connected to it at all times to funnel traffic through my pi-hole (phone is not rooted, so no other reliable adblocker can be installed). Play store refuses to download or update anything unless I disconnect the VPN. I originally thought it was the pi-hole itself breaking something, but if I connect to home wifi (runs through the same pi-hole) it works just fine (no it is not set to wifi only). If I just disconnect the VPN, it works fine over LTE. I have true unlimited, and rarely use wifi, so I never turn it on. I tried IFTTT to turn it on only at home but it never works right.. More often than not, it doesn't turn it off when I leave - which causes it to try to connect to random saved hotspots as I drive through town, or the one at work which has crappy coverage, which interrupts my streaming radio.
Is there some hidden setting or tweak I can do to make it work properly and do automatic updates? As I said, the VPN is connected at all times, and I don't remember to check for updates regularly, so it is not uncommon to find dozens of apps that haven't installed updates in a month or more. I DO get notifications of OTA FW updates from the carrier each month or so.
It's a SM-G965U1 (CSpire model on a local mom and pop carrier) if it matters,
I have a new a car that has Android Auto wireless only and the Duo 2 just will not connect. It connects to Bluetooth so calls etc. are fine but I can't connect to Android Auto at all. I thought it was a car issue initially but I've tried a Samsung phone and that connected no problem. I think it might have something to do with connecting to a WiFi network that doesn't have Internet. The phone keeps disconnecting from it but if anyone has solved this it would be much appreciated! The Duo 2 is fully updated and I can't see anything obvious that's disabled.
