Dealing with this problem for a while now. Nexus 5, Android M, everything always updated to latest. Approx 50% of the time none of the pictures are loading (app icons, screenshots, album covers in music). Appears only when connected to home wifi (never actually tried on other wifi connections).
Turning on VPN on phone solves the problem.
Using cellular internet solves the problem.
Clearing cache of Play Store and any other in-system changes on apps doesn't solve the problem.
Changing DNS to Google's doesn't solve the problem.
What else should I try?

I can't connect to Google play store/Gmail or Google Now on my nexus 5 via Wifi. None of the older topics about the same problem helped. It seems to work on my mobile network. It started completely randomly, the only thing i installed was Lookout security (but i'm not sure if it started after that) Then i uninstalled it, but it did not work as well. I had stock unlocked Nexus 5, was planning on installing cyanogenmod so this was a perfect chance to do so, and get a fix to the problem. Surprisingly, even unlocking, rooting, installing CM did NOT solve the problem.
Google play says no connection
Google Now says sing in error
Gmail says no connection
Google+ is working though.
Since even installing custom ROM did not help, you can be sure i already tried clearing the caches/data and all of the simple steps.
Any ideas?
You said that you can't connect on wifi, so I assume that you can do so on your mobile data connection?

Yes everything works on mobile connection, only my google play installed apps list seems to be constantly loading without showing my apps.
Google now, gmail, everything works on mobile. Other family members on the same wifi don't have any problems accessing their apps.
I fixed the problem in case anyone else gonna have the same issue try this: open your wifi settings, hold on your current wifi connection, select modify, check show advanced options and select proxy to "none"
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
Google Play Store does not load images when on WiFi. If I turn off WiFi they load fine on 4G (VZW). My WiFi-only Nexus 7 running same 6.0.1 OS loads images just fine so it's not my router settings. I have:
Rebooted phone
Cleared cache and data of Play Store app
Disabled app (which uninstalled back to factory version) and re-enabled
Any help is appreciated!
Well, strange things happen. I was out and went on another WiFi network and images worked. So I think to myself, it must be my router settings. Then I get back home and the images are working now on my home WiFi too........gremlins!
The issue returned. Turns out my ISP (Time Warner Cable) is having DNS server problems. I switched back to OpenDNS which I had been using before getting a new router and problem solved. My wife's Galaxy S6's Play Store wouldn't even download or update apps. The switch to OpenDNS fixed that too!
Updated my phone yesterday, got OTA finally, did factory reset after that, wiped cache but I have two problems when i am on WiFi. First problem is slow loading every picture from various apps (facebook, messenger, instagram, 9gag...), it takes 10-20 seconds for pictures to show, I will include screenshot below.
This is what it looks like in google play, every time I open it takes 10-20 seconds to load all, my connection is not bad, i have 40mbps download and apps are downloading at that speed without problems, only photos loading is slow...
Second problem is that my notifications from messenger, gmail etc are late like few minutes or they appear when I turn screen on / unlock my phone.
Those problems are only on WiFi, not when I am on 3G/4G. I doubt its my router settings because everything was fine yesterday when I was on COS 12.1 and I was on it few months without any problem.
Does anyone had or have problems like this on COS 13 ?
Same thing here. Reverting to cos 12.1 restored speeds but I would like to see if a solution is available

I fixed it by entering IPv6 google public DNS in my router settings, alternative solution is using DNSet application.
I have a OnePlus 2, and when i connect to my wifi network (also tried in a few different places like coffee shops etc - same problem) the speed is around 0.5mbps (measured by speedtest app, browsing, downloading etc), with any other device in my home i get around 50mbps. The signal is great, it connects normally, everything ok except speed. BUT, sometimes (extreamly rare) when I connect to my wifi the speed is normal (50mbps) and it stays that way until I disconnect and connect again...then I drops to 0.5mbps.
Things I tried:
Tried using static ip, and any other setting available in wifi settings.
Tried wiping cache/dalvik, factory reset, format internal storage.
Tried downgrading to lollipop, also flashing custom roms cm13/cm14/exodus/hydrogenos and also custom kernels.
Nothing above solved my issue, the problem was always the same. It's not router releated, because I tried connecting to different ones, same thing. Any advice?
Thank you in advance!

There is very little on the device that would cause this because your data speed is more controlled by the network you're connected to than by the device.
More than likely, it's something running in the background tying up your data connection, probably google play services and the playstore checking for updates. If you're using Facebook app, Facebook messenger, WhatsApp, Kik, Snapchat or any of the other social media/texting apps, they also tie up your data connection scanning for notifications and updates.

I was thinking the same, but then I did a factory reset, 0 apps installed and same speed... I tried connecting to different wifi networks in different places...same speed :/
EDIT: and as I said above, in extreamly rare cases when I connect- it works...then if I disconnect and reconnect again I get the same speed issue (doesn't matter if I do this in an hour or 5 hours)

You Stoll have google play services and google playstore after the reset, if you'll read around a little while, you'll see that the updated google play services causes slow data, battery drain and heating issues because its constantly scanning network, sane for playstore.
