Solved!! see last post
I've been trying to figure this out for sometime now....with no luck.
When...and only when I'm on my works Wifi connection, certain apps won't automatically sync (I can still manually hit refresh and sync them). This goes for gmail, google talk for sure but probably others as well.
My apps all automatically sync just fine when on my Wifi at home, or on 4g, 3g, and 1x.
So what's the deal with my works wifi? (I'm the IT guy here so any changes that might need to be made on the Firewall or Access Point I can make if needed)
We have a 5510 ASA Cisco Firewall and I'm connecting to a Linksys WAP54G access point.
thanks,
Are you manually refreshing from the apps themselves or from the acct and sync tab in the settings? My dad wasnt getting anything and when i looked he somehow turned off the global sync

Either one will make them refresh. But they won't sync automatically. If I turn off wifi at work....within a minute everything syncs up. It's only wifi at the office other wise everything syncs with no issue.
So its not that i have any settings for sync turned off or not check marked. Every other wifi i connect to syncs.....its Only the wifi at the office.
It doesn't matter which Rom I run either. aosp or tw. They are all the same.
SOLVED!!
I've been researching this for awhile and finally stumbled upon the answer.
If the problem persists only on WiFi, ensure firewalls aren’t blocking access to ports required for Google Talk and Google Play (TCP and UDP 5228).
I logged into our firewall and opened those two ports and now I'm syncing on wifi as desired.

Hi there
I have a problem with my new HTC Trophy.
It works fine with my Wireless router, It connects fast when I'm in home, and I can surf and get emails and all the stuff.
But then I tried to use zune for configure the wireless sync and problems came.
Zune detecs fine my SSID (withc is not hidden and doesn¡t have MAC adress filter active). Then I click on "Set up wireless sync" button and on the next screen, on the "Confirm Network" one, this is what happens when I click "next":
"Can't detect your phone"
An error has ocurred.
Zune was unable to connect to the wireless network access point.
Error code: C00D07C9."
I really don't understand what is going there. because My zune works pretty fine downloading apps and sync the phone.
Help Anyone?
Thanks in advanced!
I had the same problem with my Omnia7. I found out that you need to disable windows firewall or anyother antivirus firewall when doing the first sync.
Also, connect the phone to the computer and leave it idle for 10-15 mins before you setup wireless sync.
Oh man thanks very much for your help.
Just as soon I turned Off my windows Firewall the sync was completed without any kind of error.
Cheers!
I'm glad i could help.
Cheers

so, after the first sync you can turn your firewalls back on though, correct?
yes, I'd also add an exception for zune.exe to the firewall too

This worked for me also.. Great tip..
Worked for me as well. Thanks a lot
Nice one, I just spent 10 min trying to connect to an AP i forgot that i activated the access control months ago
*then it clicked*
I have same problem with Omnia 7. My laptop running Windows 7 64 bit is connected to same wireless network as my phone. Connection on both systems works without any problem. But when I try to setup wireless sync I have same problem like described here. I disabled Windows Firewall and also real time protection in Microsoft Security Essentials. I do not use any other security software. Any other solution?
same here
I'm also having issues getting wireless sync setup So far I've tried;
Disabling Windows Firewall
Connecting to network via cable
Removing wireless connection in phone and rebooting
Disabling AV
I'm at a loss as to what I else I can try. Wireless on the phone works, wireless on the laptop works, just setting up wireless sync doesn't
anything else to add
I have tried EVERYTHING to get this working. I have disabled everything that might be blocking the ports, I have reinstalled software, you name it.
Nothing.
The strange thing is, the phone worked and synced fine on Windows XP, then I upgraded (moved sideways?) to Vista and now I'm screwed. This is s**t Microsoft.
They can't tell me anything
MAke sure you are signed into the Zune software. i think this has to be done to let zune know that you are connected to the network. I think it is just a wierd bug thats never been caught. for some reason my auto sign in doesn't work. But i couldnt get it to work so i closed zune, then re-opened it signed in (top right corner of zune) then wen to settings and it worked.
I went into settings and click "Forget this phone" so that it would create a new profile. Still didn't work. Then I read on MS support Article ID: 952304 (goo.gl/6nsSm) that it may not work when connected to a public network.
D'Oh, I was connected to my VPN for work so it couldn't find my wireless access point. I disconnected/logged off my VPN, pressed Retry Wireless Sync and it worked like a charm. Then logged into my VPN again. Presto.
Hope this helps someone...
My Samsung Focus has never worked with wireless sync. I got it the day Windows Phone launched in the US and I've been through several hard resets over the past year and multiple reinstalls of Zune.
It sets up fine and then starts to sync and sometimes it will get through a song or two but it will eventually just stall during a transfer and there's no errors of any type. I can leave it there for hours and it won't progress any. I have no firewalls running or connected VPN's.
I've given up trying to get it to work. Very annoying.
I think I found the answer: According to [1] Zune is not compatible with routers using WPA/WPA2 mixed mode. Setting it to ONE of the two should make it work...

hi guys,
so i think i have a solution but my modem ist airties it can be change with other models. so i have checked the link that hades has shared in german . yes you need to choose one of thee password code and then you go to ip adress of your modem default gateaway i mean, then then there should be isolation users something you need to untick that then save it . thats what i did and it worked.
i hope it works for you too
cheers
If this problem persists even after all the solutions provided, it is most likely that Zune does not currently properly support your Wireless Adapter associated with the computer.
I have this similar issue, I can sync fine on all computers but my desktop refuses to do so. I have even tried reinstalling everything.
Zune Sync USED to work for me... it now no longer works. The only change is that I've changed carrier ROMs since my phone's original carrier refused to update to 7440 and Internet Sharing. On my new ROM w/7440 I can't get it to work like it had... this sucks b/c I do miss it. Sigh WP7 was suppose to not require ROM flashing and hacking.
EDIT: Got it past the Set Up Wireless Sync prompts by going to "General Settings" on Zune and checking the Always start software when device is connected option box.
EDIT #2:Turns out, that did not get my LG Optimus 7 syncing, as now the PC would recognize the phone over wifi, but would fail to install proper drivers. I next had to uninstall Zune using this MS FixIt tool and then I reinstalled Zune as the tool prompts you. You don't lose any information during this process! And now my wifi sync works perfectly again. FWIW I think all this may have started when I installed specific LG drivers to be able to change LG ROMs.
Hi All,
I am a first time Android user (Galaxy S II),switched over from Symbian.
The apps on my phone which require data connection such as Gtalk, Gmail , Android Market, etc are not able to connect via Wifi.
But the stock phone browser works fine on wifi, no problems over there,I am able to surf the web. But when it comes to apps, they do not connect/sync over wifi.
If I disable wifi and use GPRS, apps connect to the internet, and sync in the background. But as soon as I enable wifi apps stop syncing / connectingot he internet.
GPRS plans are expensive and slow compared to my wifi. I want to use wifi to connect the apps also.
How do I do that, is there a setting which I need to enable.
I have to use a proxy server to connect to the wifi netwok, is that the reason the apps are not working. If yes, what is the solution, please help ??????
i have never had this happen but recently my wifi has stopped working all together it just keeps scanning constantly
I had the same problem as the OP. Fixed by setting my time and date manually.

This *could* very plausibly be the problem.
I know on iPhones, our university's network requires proxy settings. You put in proxy settings centrally, but only some software like safari will work. Most apps jus don't realize they need to go through the proxy.
I'd imagine it'd be more or less the same for android apps.
Have you tried to connect with static IP?
setup the correct time and date and time zone. I noticed that my mod got wrong the cities/GMT by +1h.

I'm having trouble syncing my Google account on my AT&T SGS2.
Basically the phone won't sync automatically when connected to wifi. The only way to get new email, google voice text, calendar entry etc. is to perform a manual refresh, which is extremely annoying and inconvenient.
And no, it doesn't auto sync even when the screen is kept on.
Funny thing is when wifi is turned off (so when using 3G data), syncing works perfectly and push notifications come almost instantly.
I've tried different kernels and roms and none of those help. I'm starting to believe that I have a weirdly defective device. Any ideas?
Edit: This is the Galaxy Tab 7 Plus 4G w/ TMobile...
So far I am loving it. I have had a plethora of Android tablets, including the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (until yesterday), and the original 7" Tab. Here is an issue I have not run into thus far...
Issue 1: I like my brightness settings to be %100 all the time. I always (almost) have a power cable with me, so I'm not worried about the drain. I have the auto setting turned off as to keep it from adjusting on it's own. However, everytime I open the status menu with the brightness slider, it is down to about %90-%95. I can't get it to stay on full. Also, and even more annoying, every time I open the browser, the brightness drops to like %30'ish and I have to open the status menu and slide it back up. The browser is where I REALLY need the full brightness the most, and it's the biggest issue.
I noticed this out of the box, adjusted settings, nogo, so I factory reset, and same issue. This is leading me to believe this is just a setting or something I am missing. Any ideas?
Issue 2 (THE BIG ONE): This Tab 7+ can't see my work wifi. It connects to my wifi at home just fine (did last night at least), which is also WPA, but it doesn't even see the one at work. It acts like it isn't there. In fact, and this is probably important, it is not seeing any networks up here, and there are at least 10-15 that should be visible from my location in the building (all but a couple from other companies). My G2x (Android 2.3) is connected to my work wifi just fine, and it sees all the others around us, the the Tab 7+ right next to it sees none. I also turned on the wifi router on my phone, it will not see that one either. I've verified the wireless is enabled, as well as turning it off and on multiple times and many reboots, nogo... I need it to hit the wifi at work and home so it isn't sucking my 4G data, so this is a big issue for me.Any ideas? I'm at a loss...
Also, to answer before it's asked: Nope, it's not rooted. I may do this at some point (as I do most of my devices), but for the moment I want to leave it stock and not mess with it. These issues seem like they should be resolved/nonexistant in the stock ROM, so I shouldn't have to root to fix them. Please tell me if this is incorrect...
Thanks for any help, sorry for the long post...
(pardon typos, I'm at work and multitasking, no time to proofread)
on the brightness broweer tip. use a different browser. its a known issue that the stock browser automaticaly dims the screen.

Thank you... You're right, it doesn't happen in Dolphin, however I am one of those weird people the really prefers the stock browser...
The biggest issue is the wifi not showing up. I am updating that issue with more info now...
what channel is the wireless network on? i had a similar problem on my windows laptop, it cannot see the wifi.. turned out that my wireless card(the driver actually) cannot see any wireless network beyond channel 12.. who knows you're having the same problem, might worth checking.

Ours is on 6... Thanks though
for me it was the opposite, it could see my home wifi, but not my work.
only was to solve it was to setup a static ip at work for the GT7...
I called samsung, they said its a problem with some routers. No eta on fix other than static IP.

Just to chime in - I also have the same problem connecting to my work wireless network but I think because it uses a SEPARATE authentication scheme.
The way my office WLAN work is like this:
1). Connect to the WLAN with SSID "Office", no encryption password required
2). Once the Tab is connected, it WILL receive an IP address
3). Open up a browser (Dolphin, etc.) and try to go to any website (Google, etc.)
4). Instead of going to the website I typed in in no. 3, an authentication page will show up
5). I need to enter my Windows AD account and password
6). If its successful, then I can start browsing the Internet (but not going to the Internal network, that requires VPN access).
Step 3 is where the Tab FAILED to do so. It just doesn't want to get redirected to the authentication page.

Yep, same way for me at work. OP did you try to manually add the wireless info vs letting the tab "find" the access point?

Also, here is a strange thing. About 2 hours ago it notified me there were wireless networks in range, and then showed me 2 random networks from another office. Suddenly, it saw nothing again. Then about 5 minutes ago, while I was in the bathroom ( ), it suddenly showed me ALL of the surrounding networks. Yay! I tried to connect to the one I use, it took my password, but never even attempted to connect. Then, they are gone. Now it doesn't see them.
What. The. Fuuuudge.

Hello, I have recently started having the same issues with my F6 not being able to load any background data as well. I believe your solution can lye within the apps that are being used. I Use a stock ROM too for my phone as there are no others out yet for it, and so, I also use ROM toolbox. This morning i could not for the life of me remember what i was doing to make the phone function this way, but remembered that i was dabbling with the DNS and server operations on ROM toolbox the night prier. I was a bit frustrated that there was no easy answer posted anywhere online (google) and had to figure it out myself.. (not so bad) . and since i have been constantly figuring out my ROMS abilities on STOCK I have acquired much knowledge for the F6 root and recover operations. IF you are having problems with any data being transmitted between apps and have been disabling ads through ROM toolbox be sure to make the right changes. For when you wake up to having no data app connection and your clearly connected to the internet it can become jarring.
hope this helps
