(Q) TF101 won't connect to secure web sites. - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My tablet has been running fine for years. I don't do much with it except home banking and reading with the nook and kindle apps. However, for the past week I haven't been able to connect to the Nook site to download any new books. The site still works as I've downloaded new books to my PC and phone. When I try I get the message "a secure connection could not be established" thru the browser and "unable to connect to the server. Try again later" thru the app. Any suggestions on what to do?. I noticed that I can still log into my bank. However, I would really like to be able to continue to read from my Nook app. My tablet uses Android version 4.0.3 As I said, it worked fine a month ago when I bought several new books.
By the way. I have already reset the tablet to factory settings and now can't even sign in with the app.

[Q] Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server.

Not solved. Apparently I needed to use a VPN to connect my account though Talk. But now when my VPN isn't on nothing will sync and my gmail won't load. Until today I have never needed a VPN to log into my Google account. Something is obviously still wrong.
So I've flashed dozens of ROM's at this point and have never had this problem before. I have read all the threads and tried the following fixes ...
Pulled SIM and used WIFI
Factory reset
You Tube account ... This actually registers my Google info under accounts but won't sync at all. When I try to sync contacts or anything I get a red exclamation point and nothing happens.
Flashed other ROM's and different gapps.
Tried logging in though other gapps such as Talk and Gmail. Again YouTube will show up on my account tab as synced. It's green and looks synced but if I try to manually sync it the red error shows up again and nothing has actually been synced.
There must be a reason for this yes?
I should also mention that I'm in Shanghai. However I have never had a problem before. What gives? Why now? Could it really be that the server is down and I should just try again tomorrow?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Yeah... i've been having a similar problem in xiamen for about 3 days... china unicom?
Oh? And also never had this happen before? Happened after you flashed a new ROM?
I'm with CMCC.
What makes me think something is rotten is Chinatown is the fact that if I do use my VPN everything is OK. I'm hoping this isn't the case.
I'm searching for some old TB files I can toss on my phone to try and restore it to an earlier date. If that doesn't work maybe a super crusty old ROM will work. I really am out of ideas at this point.
I wonder if getting rid of root and going stock would fix anything?
Error Message
I have also same problem for past 3 days on China Mobile in Shanghai. I belive it should be something to do with the carrier or Network accessibility to Google products... I am on Galaxy S2.
Today I checked on couple of my friends with Nexus and Galaxy S1 and confirmed that they also face same problem...
Currently the only Google app that's working is Google Translate ... The rest however won't work without my VPN on.
So it looks like this is both CMCC and Unicom so far. I don't even know if there is anything else.
The funny thing is Google + has been working on my phone from launch with no problems. Not anymore though.
Anyway there are so many places selling Android devices in China I could only imagine that this is temporary.
I wonder if there is any way to edit some of the carrier info to make things work?
Apparently there is something going on, it looks like.
It looks like it's happened before, and after about 3-4 days it sets itself aright...
Anyone figure out a workaround? I was using a pretty good VPN, but the android version only has pptp and therefore barely works here. I can't get any programs, email, or anything on my phone after a factory reset... this makes me sad.
*had some links posted but I guess I need to post a few more times before it lets me*
Anyone figure out any updates or fixes for this yet?
It's been like that for several days now...I'm with CMCC. After sometimes it'll be okay as usual....black "magic" I would call it.
VPN is a no no for me, used to work fine till they block it. I'm using SSH Tunnel now...no problem in general except from time to time (once in a very blue moon like now) when "they" cast their "magic"
Without tunneling. market couldn't get through these days.
How annoying. I even tried taking out my SIM card, and doing a hard reset, and then trying to download my software from my WIFI, but it's not a DDWRT router so I can't access the VPN.
Is there software that can turn an OpenVPN connected computer into a Wifi router? If I logged into my computer which is on a VPN, maybe I could at least re-download all my apps from the market......
*sigh* or wait heh
I got the same problem like last 5 days ...i m in China too ..with china unicom ...i tried everything possible like factory reset, uninsalling and installing gapps, install stock image , cache cleaning ....BUT ...CAN'T LOGIC GOOGLE ....
at last i used VPN on my phone ..and its sync and connect in a second ...problem gone...Happy to have my fully functional phone back
MAGIC Happened again
Just trying to log into the market .. yes now we can access the market and other google products..

Netflix Error 13001

I've been searching for a solution all day and finally decided to post here hoping someone will be able to help.
Just got my Transformer today, loving it so far. Downloaded the latest version of Netflix. After entering username and password I get "There is a problem connecting to Netflix. Please try again later (13001)."
Tried uninstalling, reinstalling, older versions, the version that comes on the TF, google searches for the error turn up nothing. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Edit: Netflix connects fine on my PS3, iPod Touch and PC.
Netflix error - solution found
I had the same problem and just found the solution.
Go to your IPod Touch settings, find Netflix app and put reset on.
Log on with Android device and it should now work.
Good luck!
Gonna try this right now. (Soon as my iPod gets enough of a charge to turn on, haven't touched it since I got my android device.) Will post back with an update asap.
Update: It's alive! Thanks alot for the info. Now if I could only get it to use the tablet UI.

Google Play Store app "No Connection" and other issues with the Tronsmart CX-919

Google Play Store app "No Connection" and other issues with the Tronsmart CX-919
I seem to be having too many issues with my new Tronsmart CX-919.
Issue #1... The Google Play Store (app) gives me a "No Connection" and won't connect at all anymore. Worked fine for a few days and now nothing. I still have perfect wifi connection because I am able to use the Stock and Chrome Browsers & weather works too. Just the Store App doesn't work anymore.
I have even reset back to factory and it works for a day or so and then again goes back to "no connection".
Issue #2... When I am using the Stock or Chrome browsers I keep getting security certificate pop ups. They pop up so much that it is nearly impossible to use them at all.
What is going on. I have not downloaded anything initially other than stuff from the Google Play Store... so it should be a virus or anything like that.
Help! Otherwise this thing is going back.
Check the date on the stick.
I use a network date setting app that sets it on startup

[Q] Noria 7" Tablet

My wife just pruchased a Noria tablet and is having trouble downloading apps and games.
I set her up so that she can connect to our wifi, got her into Google Play store, but she keeps getting an error message, something like "Error retrieving date from ...."
I even tried it several times, and get the same message.
I am NOT a programmer, Hacker or even a computer Geek (all used with utmost Respect) but I am fairly tech knowledgable.
I know that the wifi is working, as I downloaded the same files to my HTC One X Android phone, but still nothing to her tablet.
Any ideas?

Help? Particular website access issues from android phone

Hopefully I'm posting this in an ok section. I'm not sure what the issue is, and I'm trying to figure out if this is a software, hardware, provider, or website issue. I am beginning to suspect a software issue though.
I have a stock HTC M8, and as of about 2 weeks ago, I'm having issues logging in to one particular website: http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/ , but ONLY when connected through my wireless provider. The main page loads just fine, but as soon as I hit the sign in button to try to get to the signin page, it hangs for a while, then I get the message "internal error - server connection terminated" .
Here's the thing though: If I try to sign in to the page while connected to a Wifi network, it works just fine, and will continue to work properly even if I turn wifi off, until such time as the page automatically ends my session and I have to log in again. It's just that initial log in that won't work if connected to a wireless network. Also, I can't log out either unless on a wifi connection.
Here's what I tried already:
- Tried to log in using my wife's S4 (also stock rom). No good.
- Tried Chrome and Firefox browsers. Same problem.
- Contacted the website support. They say my wireless connection is too slow. Speedtest says 80Mbps down, 30Mbps up, 31ms ping. Ummm... I'm going to say this isn't the issue.
- Contacted my wireless provider (Telus). They say they haven't made any changes the last couple of weeks.
The only changes I've made recently is that I updated Android System Webview. I can't even get a handle on what the heck this app is for (Typical review: "It changed my life! My acne disappeared, and I won the lottery!")
Any ideas? I'm at a loss here....
In chrome you should check on the requeat desktop page and give it a try
Sent from my SM-G355H using XDA Free mobile app
Sadly, I've tried that as well. No go on any browser.
That's why I figured maybe it was something HTC screwed up with a recent update.
Can you access that login with any other method on your htc
Nope. WiFi only. Every other attempt to reach the login page fails. Browser doesn't matter, desktop view is no good, manual or auto login is also useless.
It simply won't load the login page.
I noticed on my desktop that it goes from whatever page you click the login button from, to a log in page, and then back to your original page once you enter your information. It's that transition to and from that login page that seems to be where the issue lies.
I must be in the website you do not need to worry as your droid is safe
Sorry, but you lost me there...
It could be thatbi lost but i dont know coz at somd times i have same problem anf it goea away by itself so i think its a site problem
I thought that originally as well, but they claim they haven't changed anything and blame my ISP, my ISP claims they haven't changed anything and blames the site...
This is why I'm wondering if it maybe has something to do with android web view or the native browser interfering with the whole system since it started about the same time as I downloaded the updates.
You wouldn't by chance know where I could find an apk for the HTC browser 2 versions ago would you? That way I could remove all updates then install that and at least verify or eliminate a possible cause.
Yes i can tell you where is the befault internet brousef app present on your device.
Download ans install es file manager.
Open it. At the top you will see sd card tap that. A mwnu will open. In that menu the first option is / device select that.
In that search for system folder. Inside that you will find many folders but inside folder app and priv_app there are syatem apk
Your brouser app will be inaide one of them.
Try searching goos lucl
