[Q] Market and Other apps not working over wifi? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi frnds,
I am having prob. with my college wifi. THe college wifi is 802.1 EAP secured network. So after connecting to the wifi. When i open the browser the browser first open the university's login page where i have to enter my username and pass.
And after clicking on login then i can open any site using the browser only.
But when i open any other app like market it does not connect it shows not network connection.
So the problem i think is that before connecting to the net, the wifi first verify the user identity. That can be done only in browser but entering details but not in case if market.
Hence does anybody know a method by which i can verify the wifi for the whole phone and hence can use any app on it.

Many college WiFi networks are configured not to allow second party apps (for example Android Market) to exchange data via that netowork. U would have to ask your network supervisor on your college if the "blocking second party apps" is true.
The proof, that the WiFi is working correctly is, that u can open any other site via the phone browser.
If u are willing only previews of apps in the market, try to connect to the market site via the phone net browser :]

Surfing anonymously

Anyone know any application to be able to surf anonymously by hiding IP address. I don't have data plan and have to use wifi. When in school, the school interent block some application such as pocket legend, MSN Talk PRO etc. So is there any application such as hotspot shield so I will be able to access apps blocked by the school.
I tried VPN Connection and TOR but both doesnt work on x10.
EVO VPN could be an option... You just need to download the apk from the Market and sign in in their webpage (www.evovpn.com)...
It will hide you IP Address...

Hey there,
I'm new to this forum, and to this phone for that matter, but I think/guess your problem is not actually related to the actual android Market application but to your actual network connection (internet connection).
You must have an Internet connection set up on your phone, that means either Wireless Network, either Mobile Network (from your network operator).
First, check that you have a proper Internet connection set up (you can try with Browser app to connect to Google.com or something), and than try again the android Market.
Oh, and I also think that you must have a Google account in order to access the Market application.
Hope this helps
Two things you should check , first that you have good internet connection try opening the internet explorer , second you should have a google account this can be set by the wizard first time you run the google market
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
my internet connection is smooth.... i tried login into google usin the browser and it comes....but only the android market , gtalk nd gmail apps don work....
Are you not able to open, log in and sync ur Gmail application in the phone?
If you are not able to do it , then just do a factory reset.

How do I connect LG Vortex-VZ's Optimus One-to my company Wifi and use apps over it?

I have recently purchased an LG Vortex (from what I read is Verizon Wireless's Optimus One) that comes with the Android 2.2 operating system installed. I have looked into rooting my phone with z4root and have successfully temporarily rooted my phone. I would rather keep my phone unrooted, but if it is absolutely necessary I will root it permanently with z4root.
My question is this: How can I connect to my company wifi and use apps that require wifi?
I can successfully connect to my corporate wifi through the 802.1x EAP protocol. The problem comes when trying to access any of the apps that require internet (I am forcing Verizon's data plan not to be used--using wifi only due to 150MB limit on my data to save $$ per month). None of my apps seem to work--internet browser, Market, Gmail, Google Calendar, etc...
On my company pc I know that within internet explorer the box is checked that says "Use automatic configuration script" and gives an "Address" that is in the format of "..../proxy.pac" It looks like my work uses a proxy for things to connect to the internet. I have no such place to put this information in my LG Vortex. I downloaded an app that seemed promising called "Proxy Settings" which will allow me to enter in the following Hostname and Port. When I tried to enter the "..../proxy.pac" as the hostname it gave me an error stating "The hostname you typed is not valid."
Is there an app or something that will allow me to use my apps when connecting to my corporate wifi? Is it a proxy setting thing or a VPN thing? I am not sure. I am open to any and every idea so that I can use my phone's online features while connected to my company's wifi.
FYI - I have friends that have iPod touches and they are able to connect to the internet with some apps internet browsing and downloading apps, but they have a similar issue of not being able to use all of their apps as well. I believe they were able to put the "..../proxy.pac" address in their devices somewhere.
Thanks!
I am a new member on this forum but I decided to reply because I have a question and a possible solution for you:
-solution:try to download the *.pac file.You will see that it is probably a script that defines your actual proxy's ip.So you could try and figure out which is your actual proxy's ip.Then use this ip for the proxy-app. (However I am afraid that only browser will connect properly,not every app)
-and now the question:how did you manage to connect to the network?I have trouble connecting because the wifi settings menu doesn't seem to help.
I try to connect to a 802.1x EAP network and I have installed the required certificates but I don't know what to fill to username,password fiels.

please help immidiately
Is your device getting a local IP assigned, usually 192.168.x.x but sometimes larger wifi networks like a college will assign something else. If other devices are having issues it sounds like you should contact the IT at your college as it may be their issue.
yaa its obtaining ip address its 172.21.#.# but not connecting tries again today
please help
you should contact your network administrator to check your network set up and to see if the wireless router doesn't have any parameters
At my University, there's a verification page one gets redirected to whenever he/she tries to access the internet with an unknown (to the school) device. Here, one must register his/her device with the network before being promoted to whitelist and being able to access anywhere outside the local network. Check your college's IT page or something to see if you have one of those, and try pointing your browser to the verification page. Your phone's browser may not be redirecting to this page correctly.

[Q] Lenovo tab- "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server"

Hi. I bought a Lenovo Ideatab A 1000 today. I created a hotspot of my college proxy network using my laptop, and connected the tab to it. I can browse the internet on the tab without any issue, but when I try to open play store or any other google service, it asks me for my login details, and when i enter those and click next it displays - "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server ". Also i cannot open any https site from the browser (gmail etc ). But to my amaze, when I created a hotspot using my cellular data from my phone ( not a proxy network) , the play store issue gets fixed as long as I'm on that hotspot.
I googled a lot about this issue, and mostly it is mentioned to root the device and edit the hosts file. But I dont want to root my device on the first day itself. Please suggest some fix to get over this error. Thanks
P.S. my friends can access play store using the college proxy network on their android phones
