That's a statement, not a question!
If you need some help, more information is going to be needed. I presume from your statement that you are unable to download any applications from the Market over WiFi?
If that's the case:
1. Does it work over the cellular network?
2. What precisely happens over WiFi?
Regards,
Dave

I noticed this same issue today as well. Over the cellular network or wifi, i can't download or update apps. When I check on the status of the app after trying to download it, it just says it's downloading with no end in sight. I can use the browser, check email, update weather, etc... but, the market is 'useless'. I'm running a stock hero.

it works over wifi but takes ages to start, sometimes it starts inmidiatly and sometime it takes a while. i'm not sure where the problem is. but maybe this will be fixed with the new market.

Try starting Google Talk to see if this causes the downloads to start - I've heard of numerous cases where this has "cured" the problem, presumably because some of the GTalk components are common to the Market. It may help, it may not, but it is worth a try.

I know this isn't an option for some, but I just decided to flash the modaco 2.2 rom and market is working fine. I did notice my LEDs were not working today so that kind of pushed me to flash the rom again. I kept the original radio (updating the radio to the latest a couple weeks ago meant I couldn't use my data connection :S) and it's working fine.

Can't download from Market over wifi (but can on 3G)

Hi,
My phone works nicely over wifi for browsing, sync, updating Twitter and weather etc etc. I can look at the Marketplace and choose progs to install and update etc etc. But when I come to actually download them, it just stalls on "Starting download..." every time. As soon as I switch off wifi and go to 3G it works fine.
I do know that our firewall blocks some ports, does the market download over an unusual one?
Running Modaco 1.8 firmware on Teknologist 1.7 kernel, though this has always happened with other versions too.
Thanks.
By WiFi, Google cannot recognize your phone.
Oh, so nobody can download Marketplace apps over wifi and this is by design? How odd.
I downloaded the Copilot maps over wifi via the Market.
Yeah, that sounds more like what I'd expect to be the reality. One of these days I'll come up with a query about this phone that somebody can answer, I think I'm three in a row that nobody's even had a suggestion for now.
Search is your friend!

Sounds like this could be your problem (port 5228).

[Q] Help! Internet connection weird. can surf but not download

I just had about enough with this device! This is so frustrating...
Okay, I have not done anything to my tfp. it's on stock .11. Wifi was flimsy as with everybody, but I was perfectly able to surf the internet and download apps from the market etc.
I am not sure what has happened but suddenly my internet connection isn't working properly no more. the wifi icon stays grey, I can no longer browse the android market (tells me there is a network problem) and when I open the standard browser it tells me there is a problem with certificates on pretty much every page I open.
What the hell is going on? I don't have time for this! I need to work with this device.
Has anyone ever had similar experiences with android/tf201? It might be an ICS quirk, maybe some sort of software fluke or an actual security problem, I have no idea what to google or where to check.
Please help!

Try forgetting your wifi connection and restarting I had to do that to my tfp and it worked right after as for the market I have not seen this issue yet but Have you tired to clear data/cache for just the market app under settings?

[Q] App payment authorization issue on WiFi

First, I have searched both here and Google regarding my question but all I’ve turned up are problems with WiFi connections (which I don’t have – my connection is always solid) and reported problems about 8 months ago with payments in general (my problems are with WiFi only).
My problem is that any time I try to purchase an app on Android Market (and now Google Play) using WiFi, the app hangs at the point where it’s trying to authorize payment. It just sits there no matter how long I wait (well… at least 10 minutes or so). If I switch over to the home screen, turn off WiFi so 4G comes back up and then switch back to Android Market/Google Play, payment goes through properly. Once the download starts I can switch back to WiFi and the app will download without issue. This happened several times when I was straight stock using Android Market, at least once when I switched to NRG’s ROM using Android market, and again this morning with Google Play; it isn’t just the new Google Play app.
I wanted to ask whether anyone else has experienced this and whether you found any reason for it or a solution to it. This isn’t the end of the world but it would be nice to have it working correctly so I don’t have to mess around with the connection while trying to download a large app.
Thanks!

I was having issues last night buying app from google play, was getting error 403. then this morning I bought another and it went through and I was like wtf!
I refunded the three apps that didn't go through then re bought them and they downloaded perfectly.. lol
not sure if that is the issue you're having but take a look at this thread:http://www.google.com/support/forum...ad?fid=4627bf187632930e0004babe8be00aa0&hl=en

Thanks for the link, but unfortunately my issue is different. I never got an error of any kind, it just sat there trying to authorize payment until I switched from WiFi back to 4G, then it went through without issue. Afterword, I could download the app on WiFi just fine.
Thanks again.
My payments for apps only work over 4g
well I can confirm it isn't using wifi, it COULD be your router or firewall, or some other settings. I can confirm it because I don't have a data plan, I use wifi for everything and I have bought apps through it.

I've been using since day one of ICS release. Never had problems as you described.

I have had this problem, but it has nothing to do with ICS itself, it is the updated version of Skype and it has affected lots of users of different phones and different versions of Android. As suggested by mharckk, downgrade your version and untick the option in Goole Play to "Automatically Update". I did that, I am running an older version and have not upgraded since about a month ago and I no longer suffer any issues that are present in the current version, which included but are not limited to Skype signing me out every 30 minutes and then refusing to sign me back in, and when you try to sign in it tells you your username and password are wrong. You kill it and restart the app and it does not auto sign in. The list of issues goes on.
Google it and you will find the Skype forum in which this has been discussed and you will find links to an older version of Skype as an .APK, follow the steps, uninstall the version you have installed and remember to uncheck "Automatically Update" in Google Play, you will find it will work.
Hope that is some help to you.
Tried that, still complains about network problems. What version do you use

v2.7.0.907 is the version I am on, you can try using v2.6 and see if that helps with your network issues. I did occasionally have the "Wifi" connection issue on the latest version along with all the other errors, but not often, because it always signed me out.
Like I said, I have had zero issues with v2.7 try it and see, if your issues continue, then uninstall and find v2.6, see if that remedies your issues.
I hope it works.
Its working, sort of, tells me people are offline when they're online. Tells me messages are pending when I know they have been sent because i checked on my PC. I kinda need the official app because i rely on it for calls to my fiancee in the USA, else i'd be fine using IM+.

If you are using the version of Skype I suggested, it is then Official, just not the most recent version as the most recent version has major issues, there is a thread on the Skype forum about all these errors, yet Skype have not responded or even addressed the issues. And like you, I rely on Skype to talk to my fiancee in the US and the version I am on now, v2.7 is the most usable one I have found and the issues of the latest version do not exist.
I have seen what you described, I would suggest signing out and then back in if your Skype as been inactive for a long period of time, or just periodically sign out and back in, you will then see your contacts online, it occasionally happens to me.

[Q] Google Play is not working.

Hello there, I currently encounter a very annoying problem with Google Play, of which solution is nowhere to be found:
1. Using stock ROM, Google Play becomes extremely slow and most of the time not working at all (Network error), while other applications still work well.
2. Everytime I factory reset, it works for about 5 minutes at reasonable speed, then the same problem occurs again.
3. Tried to reverse back to 4.1.1 but nothing changes.
4. Same problem with different WIFI networks and 3G.
5. Jelly Bam (haven't tried other ROMs yet but I believe they would) fixed the problem completely, but its lack of Samsung Apps and other amazing features (like Smart Stay, S Voice, S Note, ...) quickly made me reverse to stock ROM.
After trying every trick found on the internet (reinstall Google Play, clear the cache,...) with no success, and after two days struggling I am now completely exhausted defeated. My only hope is you guys who have had this problem before could help me fix it.
Thanks a trillion.
I recently had a lot of problem signing in, it turned out for some reason my WiFi and phone didn't want to play game with wpa2 but after changing router to just wpa and resetting all working again, I've seen intermittent reports along similar lines sporadically ever since s3 release
Did you try using proxies?

No, because I haven't got the faintest idea about that kind of gobbledegook as you well know

Yes, I did, soneone suggested 0.0.0.0:8080 but that blocks internet connection to all other applications.
I've discovered that uninstalling Google Play updates will help, but only for 5 minutes or so. After which time the problem persists again.
Now my only solution is to uninstall Google Play updates, (then the app will ask for updating at first run), install some apps as quickly as possible before the connection goes down again. Basically I have to repeat that process every second app downloaded, and that drives me insane!!!

That's interesting but in my case even 3G won't work, and the madness is that Google Play works crazily well in custom ROMs like Jelly Bam and like sh*t in stock ROMs.

I feel the pain, took me 10 days to finally get mine working, I did everything you did multiple times, exact same scenario, uninstall updates, get a connection, next time I go back to it,bam, no connection, tried different Roms, flashed to stock, everything!
I had something similar.
What I did was adding a second Google account, deleting the first one, log in, adding the first account back, then deleting the second account, and log in again.
Works for me hoops it's working for you.
