[Q] Can´t download or update from market when on home wifi - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone !
I have this problem, when i´m on my home wifi i can´t download or update apps from google play altough i get the notifications about available updates.
When i click download or update is starts to downloading but it never shows percentage or any progress just the blue bar moving.
BUT on other networks it works just fine, only my home wifi is a problem (even though it worked well about two weeks ago) . I never use 3G or 4G.
I think it has something to do with my router but its just weird.
Do you guys have some suggestions what could i do ?

Hi
i also experience that.. but i think it's just a bug.
what i do is i turn off wifi and turn it on again.. redownload the app
i hope this helps

I also have this bug.. this started to happen after i updated camera firmware ( i know it doesn't have anything to do with it,but oh well)
I have tried to reproduce the bug and found that :
-if your wifi is off and you activate your mobile data,then disable it,when you activate wifi it will connect,but internet will work when he wants...only solution is reboot the phone

You can just search in google and download it's just an .apk, so there's no need for any "compatibility" things..
I hope this helps

Or rip it from a rom or find it on the stock apps posts or Hyper Galaxy add on post .

OK it tried it but still nothing i think lt has something to do with my ISP because they were speeding up the Internet recently.

It shouldn't take a couple of days, it should update within about ten minutes, just make sure you have internet connection and rebooting may help

A location would help. If your location is listed someone local can try on their handset and then be able to tell you if the market is down or if you have a software issue.
Neumarkt Ontario ok for market and updates of apps.

[Q] Problem With Android Market

Hi! I got recently problem with my Android Market. I'm not quite sure what's the problem, but I think because I removed the important system applications. You know google's apps. The problem is that when I want to download an app from the market, it just stands on beginning to download the app, it never goes further....
How should i fix this?
Please help me.
Regards Paul
Can you try to delete the market app from /system/app back it up to sd card
And then place it back and reboot
Not sure if it will work but worth a try

I can test, but I don't think it will work..
Go to settings - manage applications and scroll down to market (impt: only market app and not the other market related apps) and then uninstall updates. And then download the apps u want.

Market servers are down. Be patient . WIll be normal soon
yes, I have had issues as well. No "downloads" were showing...
downloaded one app and now they are back.
could have been a Market server issue as well, but was screwed up for 2 days.
btw: the uninstall updates trick does work in most cases when Market is acting up
is the server still down ?
because i faced the same problem since couple of days

But so i get it right, it's nothing wrong with my phone. It's wrong with the server on Android Market?
I had this problem from last thus till yesterday. Was so p'd off I uninstalled the markets app. I'd recently updated and after uninstall the app was still there but as the previous version, it's working fine now. So I think it's something to do with the updates.

Well, i am portuguese, its not very simple to explain. When i click on a link here in the forum for an app in the market, it gets installed next time i connect to internet in the phone, the problem is that most times if i try in the phone to download with wireless connection it wont download, but if i connect with 3g it downloads.

It works perfectly here. Have you tried clearing the cache and rebooting? Is your network connection fine?

yes i did still problem present
I'm getting same problem today. First happened with Galaxy S (a friends phone) , I was getting "Server Error - Retry". I updated manually to latest google play store and still the same problem.
Next it happened on my HD2. I flashed the phone today with NexusHD2-Gingerbread V3.2 and after setting up my phone, I tried to open market but it gives me same error.
Anyone has any idea?
BTW if I open Play store from web page it loads fine, but if I try to install something from there, it gives me Your Account isn't linked to any android phone.
Strange.
Edit: I fixed the issue by using market enabler and faking my provider.
I think this error could be country related.
Here in the Netherlands on unbranded Samsung Galaxy S2 the play store is working.

theres no need to visit your blog. I posted the fixing with market enabler. But real solution would be fixing it in non-rooted phone. If anyone can do it, please let us know.

[Q] Weird Problem with Google Play

Hey guys, I hope you can help me... I have a really weird problem....
When I try to download an App through Google Play, it stays in "Downloading" but nothing happens, it just stays there "downloading" for ever. The % bar doesn't even appear. The thing is that this only happens when I'm using Mobile Data... when I use Wi-Fi it downloads without a problem.
- I've tried Cleaning cache and data from Google Play but it doesn't fix it.
- I've tried different Roms (full wipe), and I have the same problem.
- Everything works fine... Mail, Browser, Facebook, Twitter, etc, so I thing it's NOT a Mobile Data problem.
- I'm using Hydrogen's latest ICS
I'm desperate, so any help would be welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
You are using an ICS ROM? The use search function, if you are on gingerbread try to wipe cache and dalvik cache this solved it for me.

What do you mean by "use the search function"?
I tried searching apps in Google Play and everything works fine until it starts downloading, then I get the same problem
This happens sometimes to me too i just restart the download or restart the phone it usually fixes this
