Hi, I have a Samsung A5 phone and a Linksys Archer C5 router. For some reason a couple apps (mainly Facebook, Instagram and Google Play Store) will not work when I am connected to my home WiFi network. They just won't load any data. On other phones the apps work on the network fine and the apps work on this phone on other networks fine so it has something to do with the specific phone and router combination (i have also tried on a friend's network with the same router and it hasn't worked).
I have tried whatever solutions I could find on the net.... changing the IPv6 settings, removing network password, clearing cache and data on phone etc. Nothing seems to work.
The only other idea that I can think of is to try loading a custom ROM like Cyanogen and seeing if that solves it. But before I spend a ton of time learning how to do that and trying it (and probably failing a few times), I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on if this might work.
Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions would be hugely welcome. This has been driving me nuts and is killing my data plan.
Thanks!

Hey there and welcome to assist....
the above said issue doesn't seem to be a rom issue.. could you please try to install a different version of these apps? you could try to downloading them through a google search for various apk sites...

Hi there,
I am having an issue with my MK808B connecting to my home network. I can connect fine to numerous other hotspots (samsung galaxy nexus, ipad, mifi, etc), but for some reason it just does not want to connect to my home network.
My router is a Cradlepoint MBR-1000, and I am tethering it to a Pantech UM270 Modem for Verizon LTE internet. I can connect fine to this network on several other devices, including the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
The MK808B shows strong signal, but every time I hit "Connect", it will say connecting for a few seconds and then just revert to saying "Saved, Secured" but without any connection being made. I have of course tried all the normal stuff about rebooting routers, etc. I have tried "Forgetting" the network several times and re-connecting - no luck. I tried setting a static IP address to my home computers thinking there might be an IP conflict issue, but that doesn't seem to be it. I also tried taking off all security on the network, but it still does the same thing.
Some of the other forums I have looked at suggest going to some "Advanced" wifi settings on android, but the MK808b doesn't seem to have that option that I can find.
I looked into my router settings and I do not have any unusual permission settings that I can tell - i.e. no "MAC address filtering" or "Access Control" enabled.
Admittedly I am no network expert, and it seems like there must be some simple issue that I am overlooking.
Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks!

Stupid answer, but have you rebooted the stick? I've seen that happen on multiple Android devices randomly, and a reboot always fixes it. You can also forget the network and try reconnecting and retyping your password. Either/both of those should fix.

Yup, tried both of those ideas. Thanks for trying to help, though!
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"
Hi, I have a very specific problem. I haven't found anything like that on the internet and I want to make sure if I can't do anything before I'll try to use my warranty. The problem is, I can't connect to google play and some other sites through 3g/2g connection. It's strange that things like ads in apps or other sites like m.facebook.com or some other work but not every one of them. I can't also share the internet making tethering. On wifi connection everything works perfectly so my question is, is this some kind of a security problem? Have anyone had something like this?
Backup your data and try wipe data or reflash firmware.
I did that twice
I mean wiping out the data. It's new, I got it 2 months ago and I didn't reflash him.
Hey guys,
I have a problem with my nexus, I've noticed that my internet on my phone is acting quite...strange to say. I have a dual band router(d-link 880l) and on my phone I only use the 5GHz one. it's the only device in my home that has problems.
The problem is that when searching something using the google bar it takes ages until I get the desired result, on youtube app sometimes when I open it ,it won't load anything,the second I close it and open it again it works,some videos just refuse to start until i restart the whole application, sometimes whatsapp doesn't connect to their server I have to restart the app to get messages, or to see las act of people,on facebook messenger is the same story,when i send a message it won't send ,it acts like I have no internet connection,until I restart the app. Ironically I get CONSTANT 81mb/s download and 91mb/s upload in speedtest.net app.
I really don't know what to do ,i've forgotten my network,tried connecting on 2.4GHz,put my wif i mode only in 2.4GHz,enterd recovery cleard cache partition,unninstaled whatsapp,youtube,fb messenger,google app,deleted all google play services data,restarted phone,neither of those fixed it...
Can you help me...?
Are you running the latest stock ROM or some other ROM/kernel combination?

I'm running rastapop 5.1.1 LMY48I with elementalx 4.04 since august 2015 with no fancy kernel settings or mods, just adblock and xposed over the top.I started to have this problem since november.
I did a factory reset on the router and I still have the problem.
To rule out software being the problem, I recommend flashing back to stock to see if the issue goes away.
I own a D-link DIR-850 (dual band AC router as well) and I am experiencing kind of the same problems. I have a Nexus 5 with latest firmware (MMB29S) but have had these issues for a while already. My girlfriends HTC One mini suffers from these problems as well. Most annoying is the seemingly random disconnects from whatsapp, I guess caused by Google Play Services being unreachable as at that same time also the Play store and other services relying on it are unreachable. Not sure whether this is an Android bug or caused by a bug in the Dlink router, which off course has been reset to factory defaults and checked for updates several times
Strange thing is that at the times that the Play Services are unreachable, other (plain internet based) services such as browsing with Chrome are working just fine.
I did some research on this compatibility issue between an android phone and a d-link router after I discoverd I'm not the only one.
The problem turned out to be some bug that is present in a way or another in android since lollipop , I think that lollipop(my case) is getting stuck when trying to do a DNS lookup ,but the problem is that it only happens on my home network, I don't have any problems at my friends wi fi or a public one. So my router isn't playing well with lollipop or the other way around.
The only solution I found to this problem is to disable ipv6 on your router or on the phone. So I did ,made a script that changes a value in a file, here it is : "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/wlan0/disable_ipv6". With this I disabled ipv6 protocols on my phone(i've verified "disable_ipv6" file just to be sure that the value is "1") . Everyone bragged about it that it sloved their problem. Well guess I'm not that lucky,the problem still persists on my phone...
I've tried everything in the book...guess that this brand new 150 dollar router is not that impressive as they say...
I don't really want to factory restore my phone,I want to be my last option...the guy above me said that it did the factory reset thing and it didn't work so guess that it isn't an option after all...
If someone can help me(us), i will be very pleased...
At my workplace we have an Asus RT66NU providing the wifi, where I have never had any problem with this.
As you are suspecting it has something to do with the ipv6 stuff, I'll be experimenting with this a bit to see if something changes. First test is putting the autoconfiguration setting to SLAAC+stateless DHCP.
Next step will be disabling ipv6 at all.

I tried with PPPoE( my internet connection ) on ipv6 that is shared with my ipv4 session with SLAAC + stateless DHCP and stateful DHCPv6 . At first it was promising but in the end it didn't really solve my problem. Just for the record ,I had my ipv6 settings before on local connectivity only .
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.
