First off, I would like to say that I know there are certain "approved WP7 sd cards."
I have a Samsung Focus running cleanRom 2.0. I also have an 8gb sd card installed. It's not a fast one or anything, and I am not even sure if it is WP7 approved.
Now here is my question: When I am connected to WiFi, youtube videos (or any streamable videos) load and being playing on my phone near instantly. When I am on 3G and even 3G+ (HSPA+) they will load the first 9-12seconds literally instantly and play up until that point, but then they will stop loading.
Is this a problem with the SD card do you think? Because they load instantly with no problems over WiFi, I do not think this has to do with the SD card. I have speedtested my 3G numerous times with very fast results each time (running on StraightTalk which uses AT&T towers). Everything else related to using 3G loads quickly.
My Focus started having that exact same problem with all video. Youtube videos and video that I had on Skydrive all acted like you describe. At first I thought it was my SD card but the problems persisted after I removed it and reset it.
Why videos worked on WiFi and not 3G I never figured out. The phone was having other issues as well which led me to believe the internal storage was failing on me so I ended up replacing the phone with a Lumia 900.
It wouldn't surprise me if the problem is being caused by AT&T throttling or dropping the stream to conserve bandwidth. It sounds like something they would do.
Did you measured your bandwidth/download speed on 3G? Try to measure and compare with WiFi bandwidth. Probably your connection speed isn't enough for HD vids.
Your question is looks really strange: "YouTube videos are playing good on WiFi but not on 3g, is it my sdcard?" Why do you suspect a sdcard? I don't know what are you using for YouTube but technically those videos can be played from RAM, without any storage - you may trust me...
I have a moto g 8gb. It is rooted and i am using infusion custom rom (and have been for the past month). Yesterday, my wifi started being faulty. It works perfectly (though a bit slowly) for internet browsing on google chrome, and i can send hangouts fine. However, when i try to download or update an app from google play store, it doesnot download. It tells me it is downloading but after about 5min it says could not download. I also cannot connect to the internet in any games eg. candy crush and my instagram feed does not refresh. This occurs at home and work so i know it is not the wifi provider. Also, when i switch to 3g the apps begin downloading straight away.
I have tried rebooting my phone many times. I have tried lots of wifi fixer apps none of them help. My phone thinks it is connected but only chrome and hangouts works. I tried a factory reset then a TWRP restore to no avail. PLEASE HELP
I can connect to the wifi in my office at work. I can browse the internet with chrome and I can even perform a speed test with the speedtest app. However, I cannot download or update apps from the play store. I can do these things via network data. A co-worker has no problem with her GS6 on the same network. Anyone else having this problem?
Nope. And works fine on other WiFi networks?

Most likely being blocked by firewall or the like but that doesn't explain why your colleague can use fine

Haven't tried any other network yet, but I will this evening. Also need to mention another co-worker got a GS7 yesterday and is experiencing the same problem as me. He didn't mention another network and I realize that will be an important piece of information.
Would a firewall allow me to browse and speedtest?
Mine has the exact same issue. It simply won't use wifi for apps other than Chrome. I tried doing some recovery mode steps I found on another site, but to no avail. I have tried it on my network at work and then my home network and still the same. I am going by the Verizon store tomorrow to hopefully get it resolved, unless someone in this arena knows what to do.
Same here. Got my S7 yesterday and 1. Play store will not download apps on wifi but I can browse surprisingly. 2. It seems my wifi signal is weak. I have tried using both my 5 and my 2.4 off my router. Same issue. Taking it tonwork today to see how it does.
Update, but no solution. I am able to do everything on my home wifi network. However, my office network WILL allow me to browse with chrome, do a speedtest, DOWNLOAD apps from Amazon. It will NOT let me download or update apps from the play store and it will not let me stream from Pandora.
Does this make sense to anyone?
My wifi issue is a bit different. It seems to randomly connect/disconnect me at work, but my home network is fine. Never had an issue before this phone.
I had a similar issue and a reboot of my router fixed it..The issue was most notable when downloading from the market
Maybe we don't go to work. Problem solved. lol
Had the same problem as you guys, found this on another site posted in 2014 by djsusant - worked for me
1. SWITCH OFF YOUR MOBILE DATA.
2. SWITCH ON YOUR WI-FI.
3. SWITCH ON FLIGHT MODE.
4. RESTART YOUR PHONE. (KEEP ACTIVATED FLIGHT MODE & WI-FI)
5. AFTER RESTART DON'T SWITCH OFF FLIGHT MODE.
6. OPEN GOOGLE PLAY. WAIT FOR OPEN.
SEE IT WILL OPEN GOOGLE APPS
7. NOW YOU CAN SWITCH OFF FLIGHT MODE.
Hope that helps

Thanks , I tried that when I got to work. It didn't help. I found out that I can download and stream from amazon music but I cant download or stream from the play store or pandora. I wish I knew more about networking, I'd check the settings on our routers.
Having similar problem on home wifi. I have reset home router. I can download and update if I turn off wifi. With wifi on I can browse with chrome. Have to keep turning wifi on and off to do things.
have the same issue except it will work at the store I purchased at but not at home. Tried every remedy but factory reboot so far. There is a great signal to the phone at home but won't download any apps. Facebook etc seem to come in but I didn't purchase this phone for FB. Any help will be appreciated as Samsung reps have been no help.
Pandora isn't working on mine either, not sure if it's a wifi issue only as service is very poor here (much worse than the old G3, tradeoff for battery I spose) so cannot isolate the cause. Will do later. The steps above didnt fix it.
No Pandora and not being able to read the SD card from cpu will probably be deal breakers for me if they aren't fixed within the 30 day trial. Shame, because there's a lot to like with it.
I can say just one thing - at least on the 802.11n networks the signal reception is much lower than e.g. on Sony Xperia Z3 compact .... that is little disappointing .... I was kinda hoping that brand new super ultra class phone with a/b/g/n/ac modem will have also super ultra good signal reception ...
I have the edge and I'm experiencing similar issues. I've also noticed that backups and even ones through Google photos will not work on wifi.
My previous response seems to be only temporary. Ive been doing the DNSet app and it works. So it looks like something on googles end, hopefully they fix it soon
I bought a GS7 edge and have faced the same issues. Unable to download/update any apps via wifi at home. Using a netgear AC router. All my other devices work fine. I've tried restarting the router. Didn't help. Tried both 2.4 and 5G connections as well. What's weirder is the phone works flawlessly on other wifi networks (school and the best buy store I bought it from when I went back to talk to them about it, it even worked off a tethering connection off the rep's phone)
Try switching wifi secirity from AES to TKIP. It helped me with S6 wifi issues

UPDATE (3/15/16)
So we were able to fix the issue as of last night by changing the advanced settings of the network we were connected to on the phone to static IP. This fixed the google play app issues but oculus apps still wouldn't download. We then turned off enhanced 4G LTE and that seemed to remedy it. Phone as of now works fine, hoping this doesn't cause anything else but will be talking to store reps about this soon.
Hello
Since yesterday I am facing weird WIFI problems with my A9.
It's dropping a lot, I can't update apps on Playstore because it will only download 1 or 5% then stop.
Playing Boom Beach it will also stop playing online after 2 minutes.
Same goes for BBM.
When internet is working it's slow.
I restarted the WIFI router, restarted the A9 3 times, cleared dalvik and cache but the problem is still here!
I am getting crazy.
Do you think it's xposed related or it's a problem between the wifi router channels and the A9?
The internet on my PC (using same router) has no problem at all
Ok I uninstall updates of playstore, it looks like it's better, will report back on long term
Edit: Finally it was a problem of ip, my Sony Bravia TV was using the same ip than my A9 thus conflicting
Hi folks! I have a Samsung galaxy s10e that's given me almost no trouble up until a day or two ago. Anything internet-related on my phone is suddenly working very slowly, if at all. Google is hit-or-miss and some of my phone games that require internet connection are almost unplayable now. It's not having trouble connecting, it just sucks even when showing full bars https://nox.tips/ https://xender.vip/ .
It's not the wifi, because all my other devices and friend's devices have no issues at my place and the problem persists whether I'm at home, work, or out and about. I've tried restarting the phone, resetting the network settings, phone is fully updated from what I can see, and I don't have tons of apps open. This came on very suddenly (in the middle of playing a video, no less) and I'm not sure where to go from here. Anyone have any insight or advice?
