[Need Help] Problem With Connection to Accounts

Hi Guys!
I am having strange problem with my DS.
I cannot connect to my Google account,Facebook App is not working and...
Well to cut the story short pretty much any app that requires connection to the internet+credentials will not connect.Amazon appstore,Tweetcaster,Tweetdroid,Friendcaster...you name it...the only one that works is official Twitter App(weird).
When I'm tring set up my Google account all I'm getting is "Cannot establish reliable connection..." I know I am connected to the internet cos I'm writing this post on my phone.browsing internet is the only thing I can do.
Now I was searching net for this problem and the only suggestion was HARD Reset.I can rule that out cos I went even further.I flashed 5 different ROMs and problem still persist.
Next thing on my mind was there is something wrong with my carrier.Nope.rang them up and they claim all is ok on their side.I'm on 3UK and I have iPhone4 as well on 3 UK.on iPhone4 everything works flawlessly so I swapped SIM cards.guess what...the same thing on DESIRE S.
I am no noob and I went through literally all the platforms being able to solve 99% of my problems on my own but this one seems to be bigger than me.
If anyone came across this problem before or knows the answer please help.
Thank you in advance.

Okay, lets try to solve this one quickly.
First, some history...
When did this start happening?
Was everthing working well initially, and then suddenly this problem popped up, or has it been like this from the beginning?
Have you recently done any kind of modding or flashing to your phone prior to this?
Then, some diagnostic tests.
Do you have wifi?
If you do, Can you connect?
If you can, do your apps work well with the wifi connection?

Hi
Sorry i forgot to state this in first post.
Yes I have wifi and I when I'm connected to it everything works great.can connect to anything.
I did flash few ROMs while trying to fix this problem.no luck there.
And yes.it all started all of a sudden.before I was one happy DS owner.

Could you please go to Setting> Wireless & Networks> Mobile Networks and check if toggling Network mode helps?
Also make sure that you've selected the correct Access Point Name (The APN should say www)
Let me know what happens.

Nope.tried switching mobile networks on/off.nothing.airplane mode on/off also no luck.APN is right and I can confirm that cos I can browse Internet.it seems that downloading is fine but as soon I try "send something out" like email or tokens to connect to certain services it fails.

Must say i'm at a loss here. Usually whenever i have issues like this, going through the steps mentioned above rectifies it.
Sorry brother, i'm out of ideas here. Will try asking around for more. I hope someone with a better understanding of this will be able to help you out.
Best of luck!!

Thank you anyway.in this case any advise is good.i bet it's something stupid.

Have you tried different kernels? (Clutching at straws (but worth a punt)).
When you wipe before a clean install what do you do? Try the link in my sigi.

Any progress with your problem? If not I suggest you pm ben_pyett or olyloh or lowveld.
They're very good with this stuff and very helpful...

Hi guys.sorry I have been off the forum for a while.
This is totally strange.i found out that this is happening only at certain place.when I am at work problem is there but as soon as I get home everything works fine.it must be something related to cell I am connected to while in my work area.my colleague told me he is suffering from the same thing.he has HTC Desire HD and custom ROM on board and he is also 3UK customer.but what I don't understand at all is that my iPhone works like a charm using the same network.obviously I called customer service again and they claim there is nothing wrong with the network.
Thank you for all your suggestions guys.

Wifi problem
Hi,
Does anybody have the solution for this wifi problem?
I still have this problem with wifi not stable on N networks.
Thanks.

Check your WiFi channel this happened to me and I found out the update stop my phone from seeing channels 12 and 13 so I had to change channel to 1-11 and all was good again

[Q] Wifi Problems

Hi,
Starting to lose my patience with this device now. Such as shame that this lovely piece of hardware is strangled by poor software. I've already put the device on ebay and withdrawn it because its so slinky and I really want the issue to be sorted. I have no option but to go with the ipad mini at this rate, it just works!
Using odin I've successfully upgraded to ICS with P6800DXLP8_P6800OLBLP7_P6800DXLP7_HOME.tar and XXLQ1_OXALQ1_ATO My wifi keeps dropping out, ive tried it on three different routers etc and still the same issue. Tried CM10 and that reboots on me. Ideally i want a stock rom that works without any niggles on my Euro p6800. Any ideas, i'm really trying to make Android work for me, ive searched the forums like a good boy but no real answers anywhere.
:cyclops:

I can't help but thinking... if you are fed up with the Sammy device, why not switch to something that is completely open, like the Nexus 7, instead of a closed ecosystem like Apple's? Seems like there are other (better) choices out there than the iPad mini.

I'm sorry you're having troubles. Please feel free to give me your tablet. I could always use two!
Barring that, here is what I would suggest that has worked for me:
I have always had "advanced WiFi lock" from the play store, and it appears to have improved WiFi performance even when I had ICS.
I had locerra's cyanogen 10 ROM for a spell and really liked it. I then did some research in the development section and found Daniel HK's Paranoid Android ROM v. 2.55 and have enjoyed it even more. WiFi performance has been consistent and stable on both custom. roms.
Do some research and have a go at it.
If not, i can give you my address as I am currently living in Mexico and you can ship it to me!

I didn't experience any wifi issues at all until today. I'm staying with a friend for the week in Canada, and wifi k3ps dropping out. It seems that only a restart will solve the issue, and the network then falls out of range(even though I'm next door to the router). I'll give the app mentioned a try.... But any other thoughts please let us know! I'm on the leaked ics rom from Open Austria, rooted.
Update: "Advanced wifi lock" app has solved the issue, thanks! But we shouldn't really need to download the app.. Any ideas of how to solve such issues natively?

Correction, sadly the app didn't solve the issue.... Still having intermittent wife but HTC is connected constantly.

Ensure you don't have BOTH 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz enabled on your router at the same time.
Use one or the other.
After disabling 2.4 GHz band, and using 5 GHz only on my Billion router, my device (P6810) had no wifi drop-out issue. Same if I use only 2.4 Ghz band only.
Hope it helps.......
BTW, I would suggest LP8, such as my SkyHigh ROM, having "fixed" wifi issue for most........ But try the above first

Did you fix your issue in the end? I've tried changing settings on the Cisco Valet router to operate in just one wavelength but there is no such option... I guess it must be a old router. The wifi lock app didn't make much difference either unfortunately.

Maybe you could check the router manufacturer website to upgrade its firmware.
Backup your router settings to PC first though...

Thanks, The firmware on my mate's Cisco router was out of date, wifi connection much better but it still cuts out and appears to only reconnect if I restart. Even a "quick reboot" from within Rom Toolbox Pro doesn't reconnect. Annoying issue... It even cuts out midway through a skype call with my wife (but no issues on mates ipad or my htc) Also no issue with my wifi connection back in the uk. Very weird. Any further ideas appreciated!

Just wondering of the connection is secured? Does it cut out on open connection?
If secured, did you restore wifi settings with any particular app (ie. Titanium)? If so, you could try delete/forget wifi connection and manually enter the password instead
Or, delete/forget wifi connection in settings and restore with titanium backup. You usually have choice of "101" or "XML", try one then the other, reboot each time after restore.
Edit: if you have another device to set up a wifi hotspot, open and secured, and test?

It's a secure network, but i've tried forgetting the ssid and then reconnecting, but it makes no difference... Still patchy connection. I don't want to make the network open as it's my mate's network not mine.
I downloaded an app called "wifi manager" and it seems to be working 60% of the time, which is good enough for the moment. When I get back home to my own wifi network I expect no connection problems as it was working fine when I left last week probably the issues were due to my mates awful Cisco router and not the GTab!

impression
I think it's the WiFi driver in the version of your ROM.
There is no reason you should be having to amend settings on a router because in most instances, you will not have access to a,ending the router.
I'm currently living in Mexico and I'm dependent on several WiFi access points around town and intermittent WiFi where I live. I can safely assume that the technology isn't the latest and greatest down here and I don't control any of those settings.
I am not experiencing the problems you are describing.

I think you're right, it is the wifi driver. I've just tried connecting to the open wifi network at Toronto airport, which connects fine on my htc, but i need to restart my GTab in order to connect to it. I'm running an official Samsung ics rom from the European carrier, Open Austria, (downloaded from samobile.com)... These issues only started when I left the UK and arrived in Canada. I'm wondering if the 3g roaming has some part to play in the error. Anyway.. I will try again when I get home, but anticipating issues.... How would I fix this? Do I have to reinstall the rom and all my apps?! (hope not, as I have this baby set up just perfect )

Maybe I overlooked it, but what is your current firmware?
Sent from my GT-P6810 using xda premium

Current firmware is the official ics from Samsung, build number Imm76d.xxlq2
Now I'm back home and wifi connects perfectly. I do suspect an issue of using wifi when roaming, but will keep an eye on it next time I go abroad again and post back if it happens again.

Ah, that says it all...
Check my comments about LP8 firmware mentioned in my first post here..... way down the bottom Was obviously missed. Posts after that, I assumed you had, since you didn't comment about it.
There is also a thread relating to the problem and the subsequentLP8 fix.
Either flash SkyHigh ROM (P6800 DXLP8) or official DXLP8.
Whether just flashing the kernel from DXLP8 firmware world do the trick, not sure, as I have a P6810. But as I said, flashing the firmware package helped most out with the "wifi bug"
Do you have root and custom recovery?

Just got my 7.7 3g P6800 back from Samsung in HK... Replaced Motherboard under warrenty due to super brick.
They installed LP7 ROM and when i got it here had wifi issues...
Read about it and found recomendations to change to LP8 Rom...
Now have installed latest LP8 Rom form sammobile
Wifi issues have gone away....For a week...Now back again.
Just dropping out every few minuets and not in range etc...
my ROM is
Baseband version P6800DXLP7
Kernel version 3.0.15-1160935
[email protected] #3
SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 31 15:10:33 KST 2012
Build number IMM76D,DXLP8
Is there anything wrong with this ROM or could anybody recommend a fix or alternate ROM?
Thanks and Regards..

Possible solution to WIFI problems?
I have had major problems with WIFI in my 7.7. The Austrian ICS has dropped connections, went totally berserk in some locations and stopped working unless rebooted.
I have now diagnosed (I believe) that the reason is the use of channel 12 in any WIFI router. If the router does not use 12 there seems to be no problems. At home I can configure my router not to use 12 and after that I have had no problems. There seems to be some kind of conflict or the Tab is faulty in that sense.
I do not know if this can be generalized, but at least for me it worked.

Yes I had the same problem with band number.... My friend's router that my tablet had an intermittent connection with, was on band 11. As soon as I got back home to my router in the uk (which uses band 6) My wifi connection problems disappeared.

Yes I Can say after doing alot of reading i realised its the chanel.
im using locked chanel 5 and seems much better..also wifi connection manager from play store.
still not the greatest and low signal even in same room to router but working i suppose.
Just funny how my S3 has a much stronger signal compared to the 6800 every wifi ive ever used.
Would be good if somehow the wifi drivers from S3 could be used somehow?

Wifi solutions

Hi guys,
Many a times the internet over Wifi becomes dead n I don't come to unless I realise I'm not getting mails n Whatsapp for quite long...
So is there an app which can dc Wifi when the internet is not working n reconnect it when it starts working....
I know expecting a lot over here... But you never know... We have a talented bunch of developer in our android community...

In setting make sure you have checked the option : Notify me when open network available
So if you wi fi goes does it will disconnect but will reconnect once it is back again.
Hit Thanks if this helped

I'm not saying the wifi signal goes away... But the internet becomes dead... The wifi signal remains as it is... So I want something which will disconnect wifi when there is no Internet on the router and reconnect it when there is active Internet. hope you can understand

I've had very similar problems with my device (Sony Xperia S) and in the end, it turned out to be my Router that was causing the problem! I've had to force my router onto 'g-only' Wi-Fi to get it to be stable, now my device stays connected all the time, and also connects everytime.
I'm not saying that is what your problem is, it could be any number of things. But without more information it's impossible to tell. My logic is, that you should make it as 'easy' as possible for the device to connect to the router by checking it's wireless speed compatibility and considering forcing it to a set speed so that all your devices connect ok. Like if your router (like mine) is not n-certified, then it means it can 'possibly' run at n-speeds but is not garaunteed to do so. So, in that case, it's wise to maybe consider changing it to one of it's certified speeds.
Of course there are many other things you can consider looking at too, like trying to change the wireless 'ping' timeout on the phone to be more frequent, which uses more battery, but can keep connections alive.
Also make sure that the device is set to 'keep wifi alive' when it goes into standby.
I'm still new to Android, but I hope that at least helps a little.

It's not the problem of the phone or the router... It's the problem of the internet service provider... From his side the internet gets disconnected... So sometimes as I'm on wifi... Phone does not get Internet from wifi nor it gets from GPRS... So I want some app where when wifi is not having Internet Phone gets the internet from GPRS.. I don't know whether it is possible or not

AFAIK, Android 4.0.4 does not support it. May be Jellybean supports it. You'll need a patched wpa_supplicant file to connect to enterprise networks.
Do you not see the network or are you unable to connect it?

Thanks but that doesn't help very much as my phone won't even display the network in the list, I've tried everything I can think of and range can't be a problem as I stand like 5 metres from the access point

Hey thanks for the help, unfortunately Jelly Bean doesn't work either, I've downgraded to Gingerbread though as I can connect on my old Galaxy Ace, so fingers crossed.

I thought if it'll work since Samsung might've fixed the problem in Ace. But there's no harm in trying. [emoji2]
If it doesn't work then you might as well try a KitKat ROM.
