Connection problems with CM9 - HTC Sensation

Suddenly out of the blue my apps cant access the internet, I try to access the market and the connection always times out, but I have no problem surfing the web through the browser. This is odd, and I was wondering if somebody would know whats up.

This is really getting annoying, I can surf the web but if I wanna access any app that needs the internet it will not work, Ive tried taking my battery out and putting it back in Ive reinstalled my firmware, I have wiped cache and dalvik, I have done everything except a full wipe, does anyone have any ideas.

Do ypu have a firewall app?
I use Droidwall and it gets me everytime I flash a new rombevause the default settings for it are to block everything.
So everytime I do a new romi forget about the firewall and spend 20 minutes trying to figure out why the web access doesnt work.

[Q] Strange browser problem

Hi,
After flashing, rooting, chaning my theme and much more on my phone I noticed that my browser is not working. Now, I have Internet connection over 3G which all my applications can connect with, including Opera mobile browser. But when I try to launch the stock browser I only get a white page, and the strange thing is that I can find words when searching for them on the page. Also, the page is clickable (I press randomly on the page until hitting a link).
I have been searching the Internet for a solution and I keep getting to APN settings, but none of the solutions work for me. I also tried to reinstall browser.apk but the phone wont let me since its a system application.
I am using a rooted X10i with build 2.0.2.A.0.24.
did you do a full wipe when you flashed.
and have you tried reflashing and full wipe again ? and clear all caches in manage apps sometimes even after a full wipe ?
as that normally helps
i use opera mobile anyway, prefer it over the stock

[Q] Facebook and HTCwidgets not working after reboot

ok guys another weird issue here.
been running BR 1.6.3 for a while and finally got everything where I like it except now every time i reboot:
1. Facebook adjusts itself to "Do Not Sync". it sucks having to go through 60 contacts and link them all again
2. HTC (and a few other) Countdown widgets show up as "Problem Loading Gadget"
ive tried uninstalling/reinstalling facebook as well as clearing user data and signing in again. no luck there. Ive tried clearing dalvik cache, also no luck there. i tried copying the .apk's for the widgets and while they overwrote OK, it didnt solve anything.
should i do a clean wipe and flash BR again? id hate to go through all that setup and tweaking just to have nothing work again. kind of stumped here and search really didnt turn anything relevant up.
thanks in advance!
PS wont be needing my phone in 10 days (joining the Navy, hence the countdown lol) but in the meantime connecting with friends is a big deal since i wont be seeing them for about 8 months...please help!
well im an idiot.
solution:
make sure facebook and countdown widgets are not on SD card. problem solved.
i had changed my default install location to SD, i'll be leaving that as auto for now haha.
was also happening to me too

apps wont install from the market?

Just set up my Transformer and have gone into the market, when i click on install for any app, and ok the permissions, it does nothing, just sits on the info screen for the app i was looking at. My data connection is fine.
any ideas?
I have tried clearing the cache and data from the market app in manage apps.
Not sure what was going on, It has now started downloading ok.
delete the tread if you like.
sorry.
Actually, got my new Transformer today...it proceeds to download but then errors out...rebooted...same thing...can't download or update any apps.
same here
Had mine just over a day, can't install anything from market. Google says to log onto Google talk, but THAT does not work either ... just times out.
But can surf the web just fine, and navigate around Market just fine.
So now what?
thanks, Ian
Have you tried clearing data and cache for the market?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, cleared the data, there was nothing in the cache. Seems to be a common problem, and various different solutions work for some people but not others (on assorted devices). I have mailed Google but so far no response .... have no problems downloading stuff to my Galaxy S2 over same WiFi network ...
bump
Got the same issue since I got a failed firmware update. A fix would be great
this happened to me too, downloading from android market is a hit-and-miss thing... sometimes it downloads on the first try, sometimes i have to retry it a couple of times before it finally download, and somerimes it wont ever download at all (sometimes it leaves the downloading notification stuck)
I have also seen this behaviour - apps would download, then nothing. Clicking on 'INSTALL' again on the Market store entry would usually then do a successful download and install.
Solution?
Can you guys try this, which seems to work for me (as in: after installing Custom ROMs, is what worked ...)
1. set you phone into WiFi Tethering Mode.
2. connect Transformer to use WiFi via the phone
3. log onto market and initiate download.
4. should work fine. Then disconnect from phone, use normal WiFi connection, and it should work.
I've had long discussions with Google about this. They told me to open a bunch of ports on my router, which seemed to help, but is not THE permanent solution. I think Google, for some reason, needs a fix on your position before they validate you initially, which is what they get when you connect via a cellphone.
The ports in question are:
outgoing TCP and UDP connections to 443 + 5222-5443 port range.
Note: there is often a delay when ordering something from Market via website, and getting it sent to device. This is normal. Downloading via Market App should be faster.
Good luck.
Cheers, Ian
I have the same problem...I've tried every possible "fix" and nothing really works...I'm running stock not even rooted, I've had this problem ever since I got the 3.1 ota. Hoping for a fix in 3.2
I've noticed this too. I select an app to download, then I can see the progress bar of the download and then it changes to "Waiting to install" and just stays there. What I usually do is click the "back" button (or touch it or whatever), then click the app again and push the "install" button again. Then it installs fine.
It's not a deal breaker, but it is kind of annoying.
You can try downloading the newer market. I couldn't download apps with the old market, so I downloaded the new market .apk and can download apps from there.
Did you find the apk in these forums?

Did a system wipe of my device (with backup of course), everything is working again as it was ( after recreating the account ), clearing the cache/data has not helped.
I have the exact same issue on my tf as ferparedes.

you can do as many clear cache,clear data,wipe dalvik cache,wipe cache,force stop etc you want...you wont do a thing.
the solution is one and follow my steps cause this thing almost drove me crazy for a week and yes,i could not install anything.
1.erase everything from the internal memory of your transformer connected to your computer. i mean,from the pc move them all to recycle bin.
2. go to recovery menu,and do a wipe data and wipe cache.then do a wipe dalvik cache and then fresh install from install from sd card the revolver rom.
3.HERE IS THE TRICKY PART.
after the first boot,you must do a factory reset of the tablet from the option inside the honeycomb,from the settings.
(NOT from the recovery menu)
i dont remember where this is,i think in development,you will find out.
after the factory reset you will see and android yellow box and the tab will do a reset and erase everything.
Voila! The market will work like a dream and you will never have again problem.
Trust me...i searched a lot for this problem...its the only solution.
they say its a bug in the android secure folder or something and only with a reformat of the file structure it can be solved.
I noticed that disconnecting and reconnecting Google talk solves that installation problem from the market.

[Q] Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server.

Not solved. Apparently I needed to use a VPN to connect my account though Talk. But now when my VPN isn't on nothing will sync and my gmail won't load. Until today I have never needed a VPN to log into my Google account. Something is obviously still wrong.
So I've flashed dozens of ROM's at this point and have never had this problem before. I have read all the threads and tried the following fixes ...
Pulled SIM and used WIFI
Factory reset
You Tube account ... This actually registers my Google info under accounts but won't sync at all. When I try to sync contacts or anything I get a red exclamation point and nothing happens.
Flashed other ROM's and different gapps.
Tried logging in though other gapps such as Talk and Gmail. Again YouTube will show up on my account tab as synced. It's green and looks synced but if I try to manually sync it the red error shows up again and nothing has actually been synced.
There must be a reason for this yes?
I should also mention that I'm in Shanghai. However I have never had a problem before. What gives? Why now? Could it really be that the server is down and I should just try again tomorrow?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Yeah... i've been having a similar problem in xiamen for about 3 days... china unicom?
Oh? And also never had this happen before? Happened after you flashed a new ROM?
I'm with CMCC.
What makes me think something is rotten is Chinatown is the fact that if I do use my VPN everything is OK. I'm hoping this isn't the case.
I'm searching for some old TB files I can toss on my phone to try and restore it to an earlier date. If that doesn't work maybe a super crusty old ROM will work. I really am out of ideas at this point.
I wonder if getting rid of root and going stock would fix anything?
Error Message
I have also same problem for past 3 days on China Mobile in Shanghai. I belive it should be something to do with the carrier or Network accessibility to Google products... I am on Galaxy S2.
Today I checked on couple of my friends with Nexus and Galaxy S1 and confirmed that they also face same problem...
Currently the only Google app that's working is Google Translate ... The rest however won't work without my VPN on.
So it looks like this is both CMCC and Unicom so far. I don't even know if there is anything else.
The funny thing is Google + has been working on my phone from launch with no problems. Not anymore though.
Anyway there are so many places selling Android devices in China I could only imagine that this is temporary.
I wonder if there is any way to edit some of the carrier info to make things work?
Apparently there is something going on, it looks like.
It looks like it's happened before, and after about 3-4 days it sets itself aright...
Anyone figure out a workaround? I was using a pretty good VPN, but the android version only has pptp and therefore barely works here. I can't get any programs, email, or anything on my phone after a factory reset... this makes me sad.
*had some links posted but I guess I need to post a few more times before it lets me*
Anyone figure out any updates or fixes for this yet?
It's been like that for several days now...I'm with CMCC. After sometimes it'll be okay as usual....black "magic" I would call it.
VPN is a no no for me, used to work fine till they block it. I'm using SSH Tunnel now...no problem in general except from time to time (once in a very blue moon like now) when "they" cast their "magic"
Without tunneling. market couldn't get through these days.
How annoying. I even tried taking out my SIM card, and doing a hard reset, and then trying to download my software from my WIFI, but it's not a DDWRT router so I can't access the VPN.
Is there software that can turn an OpenVPN connected computer into a Wifi router? If I logged into my computer which is on a VPN, maybe I could at least re-download all my apps from the market......
*sigh* or wait heh
I got the same problem like last 5 days ...i m in China too ..with china unicom ...i tried everything possible like factory reset, uninsalling and installing gapps, install stock image , cache cleaning ....BUT ...CAN'T LOGIC GOOGLE ....
at last i used VPN on my phone ..and its sync and connect in a second ...problem gone...Happy to have my fully functional phone back
MAGIC Happened again
Just trying to log into the market .. yes now we can access the market and other google products..

[Q] Wifi Works, But Cannot Access Internet

I've seen a few threads here related to wifi, but they don't address the issue I'm having (if I've overlooked an obvious answer, I apologize and would appreciate being pointed in the right direction).
About a month ago I noticed that I could no longer access any web resources over wifi. I can see all available networks, I can connect successfully (and get an IP address), but that's it. This is not limited to a single access point; this is ANY access point.
The worst part is, once in a while, it'll work for a few minutes, then stop (work = access internet via play store, chrome, facebook ... whatever).
I tried using Wifi Fixer as it felt like something configuration-related, but it still doesn't work.
I ended up rooting my phone, wiping it and installing Cyanogenmod. Still no wifi. I wiped that, factory reset and reinstalled stock ... same issue.
I checked that I had a /persist folder, and the file linked in another post already existed (so I didn't overwrite it).
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
