Thanks in advance for any help... OK here's my problem, I recently got a TP2 from Verizon and have had many problems with it so far. Especially with WMwifirouter. The main thing is that after I installed WMwifirouter and the ICS program from Microsoft it works like it should for a little while, then the data connection just craps out for no reason. Usually the 2 arrows showing that data is being transferred are white, but they are gray after a while and I cannot connect to anything. Not Opera, weather, IE, ANYTHING that uses the data connection. I went to the Verizon store for some reason thinking they could help me but of course they had no idea what was wrong. I dialed *228 and did the whole reprogramming thing and it didn't fix it. The only way to get it working again is to hard-reset. Which I have done 4 times now. On this last one I have not installed WMwifi or the ICS cabs i have and my data connection is still OK. So my questions are:
1 - Has anyone else encountered this problem? And how do you fix it?
2 - Is there a better program similar to WMwifirouter?
3 - Did Verizon somehow sabotage the phone so you are forced to use their VZAccess thing?
Please no posts saying "use the search" or whatever because I did already and got nothing.
Are you using Google Maps?
I had a similar issue and figured out I was using a VERY old version of Google Maps (from when I first got a VX6800). Often I would close Google maps and my data connection would stop working for EVERYTHING and I would need to reset the phone. Last time I re-downloaded Google Maps instead of installing from my uSD card and it's been working fine for the last month.
Also, what version of WMWiFiRouter are you using?
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.
Hello everyone,
Just got a new LG Optimus One.
I'm having trouble connecting to Android Market, I get the following error message.
"A network error has occurred. retry or cancel and return to the previous screen" and some other times it comes up with another error message ""No connection" (text) "Retry" (button)"
I can connect to the internet via the phones built-in web browser so it's not a network issue and the android market works when I'm connected to a WiFi access point.
What do you think I could do to fix this problem.
Kind Regards,

I can't test it, as I only have 3G and WiFi. I read it somewhere that's why I posted. And as he said Market works on WiFi. It is obvious right?
Edit: I was right, Market does not work on GPRS. 2G is too slow for Market

I'm off home to my native for the past 3days ..its a small town --no 3G nor wifi here!! n my damn fckin fone is pissing me giving problems exactly as u stated ..everything was five until I was using 3g but now don't know why but connection keeps getting timed out in market ..( I'm able to download from browser)..
I'm on market 3.4.4 ..
Any help? ? Its IRRITATINGGGGGGG!!

Market version 2.3.x (old market) works on 2G/EDGE. New Market (3.0) does not work on 2G/EDGE.
Not sure if I should put this in a new thread or continue it here because my problem got worse.
I decided to do a factory reset of the phone and it ended up making things worse.
Now the inbuilt web browser works but none of the applications worked with the internet connection. I tried android market, gmail and youtube apps and none of them worked. Where as gmail email app worked before.
When I try to enter Username and Password for the gmail account (I wait for a few minutes with the waiting message "Your phone needs to communicate with Google's servers..." Once that's finished thinking I get the following error message "Can't Establish a reliable data connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care.".
I'm in 3G mode all the time (with three and sometimes four bars). Sometimes in a mode called "E" which I suppose is Edge and I've been trying all night and haven't had any luck.
I might bite the bullet and call customer care to try and help me but with my previous experience I don't expect they can offer me much help other than returning my phone and asking for a new one. My professional experience with phones tells me there shouldn't be a fault but I cannot put myself to fault. There must be something fishy going on with this phone.
EDIT: (Additional Info) When I try to connect to the Weather I also get the error message "Weather service is temporarily unavailable." Just after I tried the web browser and google loads up fine.
Market 3.4.4 work 2g/edge but when 2g speed is very slow it gives same error i also have this problem but this is not the problem of market it is the problem of speed because sometime 2g speed is very slow i from india in which 2g speed very slow so sometime market give the error.
problem solved!
i had this same problem on my coby kyros tablet. it doesn't have any connection other than wifi, and i could browse the web, but not connect to the market.
after trying a few different things i noticed the time was way off, and went to fix it, then realized that some how the date had been changed to jan, 27th, 2011. i changed the date, time, and time zone, and the market started working perfectly.
DOUBLE CHECK YOU TIME, DATE, AND TIME ZONE!
get your old market back!!!

I got the phone from Virgin Mobile with there settings preconfigured. It's VM branded too.
I re-entered APN and mysteriously it worked, sad thing is the APN I entered was exactly the same except I changed two of the characters from lowercase to uppercase.

LG Optimus One P500 running stock android 2.2.2

Android Market Network Error????!!!
I fixed with this tool- ” Freedom”,is a hack tool for android market.
YOU NEED ROOT
Hello,
I was in a different city for a few days.
During the time, I used 3G / Edge for apps / mail.
When I got back, I realised that none of my apps were working with Wifi.
Market was showing "No Connection - Retry"
Mail app showed "connot connect to server"
Tapa talk showed "connection error"
Youtube showed "connection error"
And so on with some other apps (Tunein radio etc)
However, only Web Brower works fine with WiFi
Also, all apps work flawlessly with 3G.
I also noticed, that once I started a download using 3G, & switched to Wifi afterwards, the download completed perfectly with WiFi.
I have a Micromax A70 (Android 2.2.1) & a Galaxy Tab P1000 (android 2.2).
They work fine with the same WiFi connection, so I guess its not a WiFi/Router/ISP issue.
So can any one help with this issue ?
I searched several forums/googled, but got no definite solutions
I tried stopping & clearing cache /data of market app, as well as google framework, but this did not work.
Other Info:
My phone is rooted, CWM installed, using steps found in this forum.
Thanks!!
Use Static IP ?
Ace-ing all tests.
Hi,
1. How to use static IP?
2. Why is a static IP needed. I didn't need it until I left town. My other devices work fine without static IP. Also, I use my phone's Wifi in 4 different locations so a static IP may not be wise. Now it does not work with any Wifi location. Again I repeat Web browser works fine with WiFi.
Friends, please read the question completely, before replying ... no offence meant ... I appreciate your replies.
Thanks!

You could try reflashing the latest stock ROM available for your country, it is probably because of some software bug in the system/system app's settings.
Do update here on the progress.
Hello,
I am using the stock ROM that came with my phone.
I had rooted the phone as described earlier.
I had installed GO launcher.
Anyways I backed up all my apps n data and reinstalled the CWM backed up ROM.
Now all is well again.
I an sending this post from my phone using wifi.
Im still curious why this happened.
thanks!

Nice to know your R is working again.
It was probably a software bug which was removed when you restored from the backup.
I think you might have set up proxy
From the strange behavior, i can only think of one reason:
Since proxy works only for browsers on android and that too only for WIFI networks, I suppose that is the case. If accessing your wifi network requires a proxy, then you cannot do much about the problem AFAIK. Otherwise, you can go to wifi setting ->tap menu ->click Advanced and clear the proxy and the port.

hey there
im having the same problem here dude I digged alot of forums but couldnt find any solution yet...im thinking about flashing a new rom
my phone is gs4 9500
Hello all,
While going through the initial set up stage of a new rom on my Galaxy S2 I wasn't able to connect to my wifi, the rom simply didn't see any wifi points so I carried on and skipped the Google account bit as I didn't want any settings or apps being downloaded over 3G.
Once the rom was set up I was able to connect to my home wifi and then entered my Google account details. I then downloaded all my apps but my list of previously connected wifi ssids has disappeared. Any other time I have installed a rom, and that is many on quite a few phones, the list of wifi connections is always downloaded from Google along with all my other settings but I assume due to not connecting to wifi at the start of set up I haven't got any of my old wifi connections back. This includes my work wifi which is to say the least a pain to get set up.
Short of reinstalling the rom and hoping I can connect to wifi this time is there a way of downloading my old wifi connection details?
Sewrizer said:
ok. this is quite simple IF you restored the old rom.
enter recovery mode, go in backup and restore, choose restore then restore the rom in which you had all the SSIDs.
now go in play store and download "WiFi Pass Recovery & Backup"(free software). it will tell you all the passwords from the networks you connected to in the past. just write them down on a paper or in notepad, re-flash the desired rom and when you are in the area of any network you can connect using the password you wrote down. i can't think of another method. hit thanks if this helped.
good luck:laugh:

Yeah I had thought of that method but was hoping for something a little simpler! LOL. Thanks anyway, this looks like the only way to do this.

This works but TrustGo Inc. Antivirus & Mobile Security tells me that it may collect privacy information like IMEI, device model and email account.
Better use this one without security issues: WiFi Key Recovery :good:
Problem solved. I reinstalled the rom but instead of selecting "Reboot" at the end of the install I held the power button in until the phone then went back into recovery. I then installed the latest Dorimanx kernel and rebooted. Dori 9.12 seems to have problems picking up wifi whereas 9.13 has no problems. My home wifi was picked up at the start of the set up and from then on Google reinstalled apps and settings. Or at least is in the process of doing so!
I was a little worried as skipping the wifi set up at the start of my first install meant that there was no email address in the Backup and Restore field within Settings so although the backup and restore boxes were ticked without an email account they may as well have been unticked.. No way to add an email address either.
Thanks for the suggestions, as ever very helpful folks on XDA!
