Android : Apps not connecting via Wifi

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.

[Q] My Wi-Fi turned into gray

Hi Guys,
Whenever i connect to a wifi network in my office, my wifi signal turned into gray instead of blue and i cannot able to use google play, i can able to browse but play store, gmail and facebook are not working. Why is my admin blocked my wifi? or is there any problem with my phone i recently updated my phone to jelly bean but before this i have this same problem in ics also. I googled about this problem they all point that i may be disconnected from google services, If that is the problem. How can i connect to google services. Moreover, i can access gmail, facebook, play and all google services in my mobile data packet.

May be blocked this site through proxy. Check same with desktop if you can access it there please check any firewall enable in your mobile.
When ever my mobile not get ip adddress its colored grey in wifi connection.

Hi,
Thanks for your replay but the mentioned sites are opening in my laptop with the same wi-fi signal. In my mobile, it's not connecting. Except facebook it is blocked till evening 7 after 7 i can access facebook but before that i can access google play, gmail, dropbox etc...

Have you checked firewall rules in your mobile? May be blocked by app like avast or droid ??

Yeah I have Avast! But it's not blocking.

Hi,
I have installed avast and recently i rooted my mobile and enabled firewall but before that also i had this problem. Even if i uninstall avast its still not turned into blue. Is there any other way to check which apps are stopping my wifi. Moreover, i have factory reset my mobile for this option after that also it's not connecting. I am sure it's not the ROM problem because the same problem exists in my ics also.

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

Turbo VPN application not working on Honor 4C

Hey guys I have updated my Honor 4C(CHM-U01)
to Android 6.0 and I have an issue with this VPN app called Turbo VPN.
It connects and works perfectly with mobile data but with WiFi it doesn't. When using WiFi network, this app connects but doesn't work at all I mean when I go browsing, websites can't be loaded.
Can you guys install this app too and see if you've got the same issue?(screenshots are added and by the way I've put this app on protected apps list too but the issue not solved)

Please, somebody try this on yours and tell me what's the issue?

Is anybody else experiencing this issue? I'm on Android 6.0 and EMUI 4.0 and I have CHM-U01 model and my build number is CHM-U01C185B560. I didn't have any issues with this Turbo VPN application when I was running KitKat(4.4.2).
This app connects and works perfectly with mobile data but with WiFi it doesn't. When using WiFi network, this app connects and works for just 30 seconds and after 30 seconds, it doesn't work at all I mean when I go browsing, websites can't be loaded.
Can you please install this app too and see if you've got the same issue?(screenshots are added below)

Isn't there anybody out there on CHM-U01C185B560 ROM to tell me what the problem is ?

Still waiting for someone to check it on his/her phone or give me a solution ?

Update: I have just tried it with a different network and It works normally. This is really weird.

Problem with facebook & instagram using wifi in Android Pie

Hello,
Since I updated to Android Pie, first I had the stable version and now beta4, with wifi the app of facebook and instagram don't charge (it says "couldn`t refresh feed"). Instead using 4G they work OK.
I'm root and I think the problem appears when I installed magisk.
someone with the same problem?

1. Why are you using the FB app? It's crap and a battery hog. Just use a browser, request desktop and Bob's your Uncle.
2. If you're on Pie, you will have to most likely wait until the developers update the app to work with Pie correctly. I wouldn't hold my breath for that to happen since they couldn't get their apps to work correctly in the past.

Instagram has no issues here.
What about your router tho?did you try on other routers aswell ? Same result?

Yes, I have tried with other routers and remains the same problem.
Its rare, like the router cancels the connection for a certain type of app.

disable the firewall of your router and try
