This is my first android device and so far I like it a lot (was previously on windows mobile)
I help run a sim racing site and I'm having a problem with a url to a scoring program we use. It always says "Data connectivity problem. The server failed to comminicate." on the captivate.
and it has the upside down android in the spots the data should show in.
I have tried multiple browsers with no luck. It works fine on my old moto q and it works on my friends iphone both with at&t. I should also mention that it works on my captivate if I am on wifi.
Here is a link to our site h t t p://nr2003.com and here is a link to the content I'm trying to view h t t p://gs58.mtco.com:27035/ARCAHotlaps
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I was able to use Wifi, but not 3g. I believe AT&T might have an issue with directing to a certain point on your server (27035).
This is a connectivity issue with AT&T. I'll try Dolphin browser next.
EDIT: Dolphin did not work but Opera did work. Opera uses their servers to transfer data. I believe it helps speed up data transmission over 3g networks.
Thanks madjsp but would they have an issue with this phone only?
I don't understand why it comes through on the q and the iphone and they are both with at&t also.
I can get there on the captivate's default browser by using a get.php file.

Could that port be blocked on the phone maybe or is that possible? As you can probably tell, I don't have a clue about this stuff lol
Sorry for the spaces in the links but I can't post a link.
I've been browsing this forum for a couple years and just now had the need for a post
XDA is awesome!!
Some browsers do block non-standard ports, but I would expect it over 3G and WiFi. Do you have another Android phone you can try it with?
I can only come to the conclusion that the iphone data plan offers different browsing experiences. Try calling att and ask them about it. They might be able to tell you why.

I called at&t this morning and they said it wasn't an issue with them but who knows.
They told me to call samsung in the morning. I dread that call.
I am unable to find anyone here at work with at&t and android but I did test a droid through sprint and it worked perfectly with a 1.5 version of android.
I also tried it on a verizon ally on a 2.1 version of android but his is an ere27 build I think and mine is an eclair build.
If someone out there with a different build of android through at&t could try it, it would help tremendously.
Either way, I'm calling samsung when I get home from work in the morning and while I'm at it, I might as well mention the gps issues.
If I could get these two issues resolved, this phone would be perfect for me.
This has gotten even more weird.
With wifi the web pages open ok but with the 3G network they dont.
This all with the captivate browser, with the opera everithing is ok (but I like the original browser more)
Here are some pics One with WIFI(page ok) the other with 3G (page not ok)
I have Auto fit checked
text zize medium
no landscame only( thw problem does not fix)
I have reseted my phone and my browser and the problems does not fix.
Please help.
Hi,
I have an Asus Tablet running Android Honeycomb v3.0.1. I have installed Google Earth v2.0.1 in it. But whenever I open the Google Earth Application, It waits on the main app screen for 15 seconds, then gives me this error message:
"Alert !
Google Earth can't connect to the network right now. Please quit and try again later."
Just FYI, I do have WIFI connected and running while opening this app. I have been getting this error since the time I bought my tablet (10 days ago). I have tried uninstalling and re-installing this app, but to no avail.
Waiting for a useful reply. Its a shame I am not able to access such a wonderful app on a nice 10inch screen.
Thanks.
2.0.1 works fine on mine. Strange.
Works fine for me too...

Im having the same issue :-(
Same issue with mine. Cannot connect to the network.
Have uninstalled and reinstalled as well.
Between this and the backlight bleed i'm none too happy. With all the good reviews this thing has been getting i'm a tad disapointed.
Just did the 3.1 update and it's still not working. Anyone have any ideas how to get google earth working? Every time it's cannot connect to network.
Have you tried master reset?
no i didn't try a master reset. Google earth was like the second or third thing i put on this after i opened the box and it didn't work straight off. I've seen a few other posts around the web as well with people with the transformer and this same problem and not one solution.
I would give factory reset a try...
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
you can try to clear the cache of Google earth through the applications option in the configuration menu. That trick did help me a couple of times when apps did not work!
Ok did a factory reset. Went through the initial setup and the FIRST and only app i installed was google earth. Still the exact same problem. Cannot connect to the network.
The other computers on my network can access google earth fine but they are hard wired to the router. I just tried my phone over wifi and it can't connect either so it has to be something with my wifi settings on my router. But i'm stumped as to what it might be. Everything is set pretty much default. UPNP is on, just using wep for security.
Any ideas?
** Update
Stumbled onto another thread for a similar problem. I changed my DNS server in my router to googles DNS and suddenly it works. I don't even claim to understand why. Wired computers were fine, anything wireless didn't work until i switched the DNS server away from my ISP to google's. Any possible reason for this?
Your ISP is filtering/throttling.
Hmm, I'm also having this problem too. GE works on my wifi from my PC, and my phone, but not on my pad. I've tried changing the DNS in my router to google's (8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4), but still the same.
If I tether to my phone through 3G, works fine on the pad. Must be something with my router/network, but when it works on my PC & phone on wifi, I can't figure out why it won't work on the transformer!
Any solutions/ideas??

It sounds like your ISP is unable to resolve the google earth server's address.
Thanks for the response, but if was an ISP problem, wouldn't that also mean my phone and pc would have the same problem?
I'm far from being any way knowledgeable when it comes to networking, but I thought that would be the case??
C.
Same problem here.
An of course Google Maps works on the TF101 (it should look at same servers...), and Google Earth works on other PCs & telephones connected to same home network, so ISP DNS is not the cause.

No don't think that's the case. Every other computer on the same network was able to access it just fine through the same router and same ISP. It was only my phone and TF101 trying wirelessly. Even another wirless computer on the network was able to access it, it was ONLY the android devices that were having a problem.
Same hare, not working on the transformer, but i have no problems on any other device`s i own...

I've managed to try my pad on another wi fi network & it works fine on that system, but not on my home network, which will support Google Earth on my phone & PC, so the problem must be router/network related, but I'm damned if I can figure it out.

Have you tried what i did to see if it works for you as well? Go into your router and find the section regarding DNS and switch it to 8.8.8.8 and secondary 8.8.4.4 and see if it works.
OK so I have had my Transformer for 2 days now and so far it has been little more than a paper weight. I have not been able to download a single app from the market. I've tried everything suggested here (cancel/restart, reboot, etc) with no luck. I have not been able to even update Google Maps or install Flash Player, literally I have not been able to install anything. I've tried stock and rooted plus I cannot get any version of Prime to install (finally got the root and CWM installed). Lastly, since this is a Wifi only device it is important to wireless tether with my cellphone. Two days and I still cannot get it to work, will not even find the device. Only 2 days of ownership and I am completely frustrated with this thing. I really like and want the micro SD capabilities but if I can't resolve this ASAP it will need to go back to the store.
Anyone have any suggestions on what all I can try? Please help!
Sorry, I'm a little busy to look for the direct links.
Just look-for the vanilla NVFlash then add the Prime 1.5 (nvflash version). Dump them together into a folder then run the batch file. Simple !
I just helped two co-workers with their brand-new TFs getting rooted this way.
Maybe 5-10 minutes top.
Make sure you unzip the downloaded Prime file (it becomes 4 files). Read the NVFLASH post and have the USB driver ready.
Thanks man I'll give it a shot here shortly
Good luck.
And if you ever have a need to get back to stock (refund maybe ?), there is a stock-ROM (nvflash version), just as easy to get back.

You don’t have to root or flash with a custom rom to get the basic stuff like Wi-Fi. Everything works out of the box as advertised. If something doesn't then either you are doing something wrong or there is a fault with your device. Did you try connecting to a normal Wireless Router? Honeycomb can not see some types of adhoc networks without installing a patch (i.e created by Windows, this may be applicable to some phones too, however it worked fine with My Galaxy S).

I guess you enjoy using command lines to unroot ?!
There is a nvflash package w/stock-rom available. Just double-click download.bat then wait a few minutes.

Hi, sometime the problem is in the market. not the device itself. I got similar experience with my HTC device. I've installed many ROMs but the market always screwed. So what I did was, just reset your device, when it asks the Google account, type in your email like this: [email protected] instead of just blablabla or [email protected]

I guess your phone is offering up an adhoc connection, which Android doesn't support out of the box. It should work fine with phones that offer up a true infrastructure hotspot. Personally, I think adhoc networks should die a horrible death, but I appreciate their necessity if that's all your phone can do.
Search for adhoc and you should find a solution to this issue. You can also try PDAnet (tablet) too.

Dave
Maybe bad flash? try re-flash ROM again.

Ad hoc issue appears to be most relevant.
Market download issues =software issues not hardware. If you do not have any other wifi option then go to McDonald's or Starbucks and try it on their wifi.

Don't know if this helps, But I just discovered that the Transformer doesn't seem to like hidden SSID.
Mine connects fine if the SSID is shown, but once I hide the SSID it said out of range.
My EVO 3D, iPod, TV all work with it hidden.
Does someone know if you can setup the TF to connect with hidden SSID?
Thanks
Thanks for the advice all. I don't have a custom ROM on it yet, just rooted. I can't get the zips to work. Says cannot open (bad). Will try re-downloading for a 5th time and see how goes it. I did figure out the wifi issue on my phone - it was ad hoc as stated and it recognizes my phone now but still won't download apps (says it's downloading but never does). Tried cancelling and restarting several times as well as factory resetting the device. Does the same thing when I connect to my home network as well.

My Wifi network is hidden and I had no issue connecting my TF.
What type of router and what settings does it have?
I am using a NetGear WNDR3700 (802.11-g,n). The TF connects to the 2.4 GHz section over 802.11n.
Is it wise to be playing with recovery images and custom ROMS, if you can't get basic market functionality working?
Clearly before changing your TF from stock, get the market working, this is almost certainly a probem with your Wifi router...
The only problem I am aware of with the Transformers Wifi, is sometimes it does not getting a DHCP address when coming back from sleep (use Static IP), the TW release has this fixed, but the WW does not for some reason, i'm guessing they know 3.2 is incoming soon.
Follow these steps to get the market working:
I don't exactly know what the problem is, but I've had it on a couple of phones before. I do NOT have a googlemail account, so that wasn't the problem.
I deleted all cache/data from the following programs: Market, MarketUpdater, Downloads, Download manager, googleapps (anything that seems relevant)
now first go on a computer, open your gmail via gmail.com, send a mail, edit some contacts, just make sure you do something! Now reboot your eee pad, accept the market policies and see if it works....
If this doesn't fix it, then I have no options left
Update: I ultimately returned my TF (I had already suspected that I didn't receive a new device due to other issues and packaging). I received the new TF yesterday (A+ to Amazon.com). The new TF was 1000x better. Loaded right up, connected, market apps loaded easily, quickly and on the first try. All in all I am pleased. And the root and ROM installs worked flawlessly. Actually enjoying my TF now. Thanks all for the advice and help!

All the WiFi at my work are hidden and there at least 8 people with TFs here. Mostly Prime but some stock. None of us EVER had problem with hidden SSID.
At home my two WiFi are hidden. No problem.

I am running a Belkin N750DB, (WPA2 encryption)
Every other thing in my house works fine, hidden. I changed from a ASUS 300N router that was running same encryption WPA2 with no problem on the TF. I have check and doubled checked settings.
Stumped
Also have it set on 2.4 GHz over 802.11n
I also had a issue with the wifi connection on my first unit. Its would pause/stall all the time in the interent browser and market would give me connection error messages. Now Im on my third one and it has a bright stop on the screen but the internet works great.
Any special ports need to be open or are used by tellme?
At home it works fine when wifi is on. At work it says it cannot connect. it may need a port that is being used for something else on our network and i just wanted to verify
I have a similar issue. It doesn't work on cellular but works perfectly fine on wifi. Been troubleshooting with carrier and LG for a while and still no resolution.
Yeah I have the same problem and it is a port blocking issue because at work our Watchguard blocks tellme and downloads from the market but luckily I am in IT so I just added a firewall exception for my phone so it is ok.

Did it give you the actual port numbers? That is what i need to know. I am the it admin and tellme isn't on a block list on purpose. Downloads work fine.
Cell works fine also but i like to save battery and use our wifi when i'm at work.
Still no answers on this anyone know the ports?

Can try to find you can set the port the software to install. But the software I forgot.
That's the thing. I checked all the logs for the ip of my phone with the firewall. It shows no logs of blocking it, so i am thinking it uses a port that our exchange server, vpn, or rdp uses or some of the other devices and the info is getting forwarded to them and disguarded instead of my phone. THat is why i need to know what the port is.
so just so i can verify. i tried out the svtp tehter app. and it changes the name of your tether id. its not an actual tehter app just gives you access to the hotspot app already baked in android. its more for verizon users that have the app disabled. ANYWAY suddenly i dont get the upsell page. so just to make sure (because the app is $15) i uninstalled and ran native tether and still no upsell page. so i tried it on my wifes phone (just changing the name of the tether), keep in mind my wifes phone is completely virgin so its not rooted, and BAM it works on that one too. so if anyone has time to try this out to confirm it for me or maybe i just flooked out twice lol
Edit: decided to just buy the app but it didn't work after the few times I changed the names manually on the phone so I just returned it. Changed the title to a question to stop confusion. Maybe someone else made more progress.
T-Mobile sucks for this crap
BTW im using chrome now and tried it in IE both got through
also its not tied to the name. just change it tether and change it back and the page is still gone. just got and upsell text but i usually get 2-5 before seeing the page and thats after i stop the tether and re-enable it later.
never mind upsell page is back but it did last a bit
One thing which was working for me up until a few days ago, was using Firefox Aurora (an alpha, but very stable, way more than nightlies). But at random that stopped working. Of course I installed some updates so IE 10 would work on W7 and it was after that I was blocked on FF. One other thing to note is that I can run a torrent client with no issues, so if it's possible to route a web browser through a different port, that would also work.

thank for the reply. im wondering if there is a way to hide the tether SSID from tmobile or even make it dynamic name. honestly im trying to get all my free DLC for Halo 4 on my xbox and its driving me nuts lol. the way i figure that tmobile blocks us is that they packet sniff and when there is X amount of data flowing through a port then that is when they flag your ssid (or hash tag) and sends the upsell page. im not claiming to know anything about network security but that is how it seems to be. im going to see if i can change the port that tether uses to send and receive, as you said torrenting works with no problem as does mine but they also dont use a UA to work. that is really the only way for them to find out you are tethering, otherwise they would be blocking normal traffic from our phones.
why dont you guys just use a user agent extension and choose safari? works perfect for me.

that is what im using now but my xbox wont connect for updates, it did before i got the upsell page
well t-mobile block tethering based on devices they have set up to use their towers. So you have to "masked" it as another device. If Xbox, or IE explorer (I'm assuming this is what Xbox uses) is on their blocked devices list, then you can't use the internet from their towers. Is it possible for you to download the update on a usb drive then update it through that? Sorry, I don't own an xbox so I don't know.
get fox fi app and use the proxy add on and connect through the proxy and they can not detect it.
You can download the updates but only major ones like ui updates not fixes or security sweeps. And if I don't at least do the security sweeps I can't play some of my downloaded games because this isnt the original Xbox I downloaded them to. I have tried foxfi with no luck. Perhaps you have a better tutorial I could use?

What is this upsell page? Do you see this when you use the portable Wi-Fi hotspot, or just when doing USB tethering? I heard about a year ago that T-Mobile would be charging $15/mo for these capabilities. I do not pay for it, but I still use my phone as a hotspot once-in-a-while. In-fact, I am using it right now! BTW... I am on a "Classic 1000 Ulimited Plus" package that does not show the"Mobile HotSpot Service" of the "Ulimited Premium" plan. I use CM7 based ROMs. I use the hotspot functionality that's already in CM7 based Temasek135.2.

I've been using the user agent switcher since the new unlimited plan with no issues till 3 weeks ago.everything works fine between Firefox and chrome except I can no longer watch YouTube videos. It has to be something between the agent and T-Mobile ( flash player?) because I can use a VPN and YouTube magicly works again. Other wise I get a black screen in the YouTube video that says error occurredlease try again later.
Would be nice if there was a hotspot app out there that would fix this without having to use agent switcher.
