I picked up my Atrix today and everything has been going great except for one thing. Sometimes when I launch the Market place and move beyond the first screen it will give me an error message about network connectivity. I have to leave the market place and turn wifi off and then back on before the marketplace will allow me to move beyond the first page. Wifi seems to be working for everything else while it is not working for the market place. Normally I would just uninstall/reinstall an app that was doing this, but since it is the market place, that may be more difficult (i'm not sure, this is my first Android phone).
As of now it is not rooted and I have tweaked no power/wireless settings except to add my wifi info. I would appreciate any ideas.

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.

had/have this problem also sometimes, my solution is quite simple. jsut reboot the phone, and everything works fina and normally
Okay, my phone is on the 2.3.4 OTA update it is also rooted and unlocked ... have recently wiped it clean to try to track down the issue ...
since updating it ... now when i go to the marketplace it will 'hang' and not download anything for a bit ... the H+ icon on the top is in black letters ... after a while the icon will update and show the H+ in blue and the arrows start to light up and the download will finally start ...
if i connect it to wifi it works just fine
i notice if i let the phone sleep for a legnth of time it will do this over again, but if i keep it 'awake' it continues to work as normal...
is there a setting someplace that i am overlooking that allows you to suspend cellular data while sleeping ?
It seems similar to what a lot of us OTA-ers are experiencing. Definitely wondering about this as well.
~ Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G ~
ok so it is not just me .... searched on the forum for a bit and did not find a post about it.
Is it only when you go to the Market?
Are you using the new Market app? (New Market app can cause data to drop).
More info please.
when i first applied the OTA it had the old market but was doing this ... (i did a reset because of it and the fingerprint scanner not working) ... after the reset the first time i went to the market it downloaded the new version and worked for a bit ... but now it is back to making the H+ turn black which i am guessing is showing that there is no data ??? because nothing else will work for a bit after that happens ...
oh, and the fingerprint scanner still doesn't work but thats another issue i need to figure out.
Make sure that your phone is logged into Google Talk by following these steps:
Go to your phone’s app launcher, and press the Talk app
If you’re already logged into Talk, press Menu, and then touch Sign out
Launch Talk again to sign in
Check the markets support page, its under known issues, had the same problem and it worked for me
Since there is no Brilliant Corners 1.2 thread anymore I will have to post here.
Market started acting funny to night. A app would start to download and the blue download arrow would show it was
downloading but nothing was coming through. I did a search and saw some suggestions on about starting Google Talk
and that would fix it but, I do not have Google Talk. Early on in my experiment with the tablet I thought I would never
call anyone with the G- Tab so I deleted it, and don' t know if that it was okay to do that but it is done. Anyway, I read
about doing the original. Market fix. I did this but, now all I get is "server error Retry", I also waited for WiFi to connect.
I have rebooted 3 times with the same results. Any suggestions?
try manually installing the newest version of the android market. You can download from here. http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...te-update-over-wi-fi-only-shortcuts-and-more/
Installed the latest version of Market (3.3.11) and got the same results. Did the "Market Fix " twice and still get the same results. Could it possibly be because I am on a 3G ad - hoc network? I do not have "download by WiFi only" enabled in the options. Market does notify me of the apps that need updating.
Found the problem. In Droidwall some of the necessary components for Market to work were not on the White List. Being on vacation and using a prepaid 3g broadband card with a cap I was over zealous in what I allowed access to the Internet. I learned a good lession.
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?
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.
