[Q] Market Issues - No Connection on 7.0 Plus

Hello all,
Just bought a the 7.0 Plus tonight and am already having some issues. Out of the box, I was having problems with it dropping wifi connection. I was in range and it showed signal, but the only way to get internet connection with it was to cycle the wifi on to off. Its probably happened 4 to 5 times already in my first night.
Anyways, I used it until the battery was near dead and then plugged in to charge. Now the market place will not load. I get an error saying "No Connection". Cycled it off then back on, nothing. Deleted my google account thinking maybe re-sinc the account and I'll get it back. Now, I can't even get the google account back on it. It only says an error something along the lines of failed to establish a connection. Facebook app, nothing. Picasa web albums, nothing. More or less all the apps that need a connection, nothing. The only exception to this is I can go all over the internet all I want. I am getting a "Security Warning" saying "There are problems with the security certificate for this site". I get this on more or less every site I visit.
I am fairly baffled. Rooted Evo's, GSII's, ect. This is my first tablet though. Only thing search turned up was off a Thrive tablet someone did a full factory reset and got it all back. I'm thinking that might work for me, but its not even a day old and for the price these 7.0 Plus' cost it shouldn't be doing this. Should I be looking to exchange it for another? Maybe I just got a bad one. I'm close to just swapping for an Acer A100. I wanted the 7.0 Plus for the newer hardware because I tend to keep them for a while, but dang this is not working well. Oh, its fairly laggy too. I mean, my original 2 year old Evo on CM7 with a Tiamat kernal isn't this laggy. Its actually smooth, lol.
Sorry for the book I just wrote too. Just fairly upset at this point and looking for help.

Download samsung kies on a pc and update the tab

I tried that, but it didn't help. I forgot to mention I have Kies installed an updated everything when I first started it up.
I returned it. Not willing to deal with features that don't work as well as they should, wifi dropping, and issues out of the box. I'll probably just pick up an A100, but who knows. I also just got a Galaxy Nexus so that'll keep me busy for a bit.

Hello,
I realize this thread is almost a year old, but has anyone else had this connectivity issue with their Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus? I have the Wifi Only tablet (GT-P6210) and this is the second time for me to have an issue similar to what Bill3753 posted above. The first time this occurred I did a factory reset and the problem was resolved. I really don't want to do that again and mess with having to reload all my documents and downloading all of my apps again.
So, after almost a year does anyone know a fix for this issue? Or can someone share a link to the right info?
Thanks in advance!

Ok my problem is fixed now! The problem was with my Google account. I removed it from the tablet and then tried to add the account again. I kept getting an error that said "can not establish reliable connection" and after doing a search for the 50th time I came across a post that said make sure date and time are correct. I changed my date and time, then tried to log in and it worked that time! Now my Play store is connected fine and the browser doesn't constantly give a certificate warning message.
Hope this saves someone else a headache.

[Q] Question related to connectivity and data transfer over networks

Hi everyone
Although I am a new member to this forum, I have been using this forum for months as an unregistered member, scouring the search function with queries related to my android phone, a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S [LT18i] and a Samsung Galaxy SII [I9100G], both with the latest firmware and both rooted, thanks to this forum. Now I have gained some experience in the matter and want to contribute as well, so I joined. Some years ago, when Nokias used to rule this world, I had a lot of knowledge about the Symbian platform and was a moderator in a similar forum to this one. I hope I can contribute in the same way here even though my schedule is pretty tight nowadays. I'll do my best.
Now to proceed to my question. Its a general question I have relating to a queer problem.
I have two applications on my phone pertaining to this issue, Pocket Manga and Tapatalk 2. Earlier, when my phone was on GB, wi-fi and 3G worked perfectly for PocketManga but after upgrading to ICS, the connectivity issues started. Wi-fi and 3G, both would run perfectly for other applications but the arrows representing data transfer would blink for PocketManga. I know that it seemed like compatibility issues with the new firmware, but if I reset my wif-fi router, PocketManga would run perfectly once again...for a while and then the same issue again, only for PocketManga.
As for Tapatalk 2, it works fine on 3G but the arrows blink or don't show up at all on wi-fi.
So my question is, What could be the cause of these problems? Is it a issue with my phone, router, mobile network or with the application? Any insight to this will be appreciated.
Thank you

How did you update? Provider update or Custom ROM?
I'd try to revert the changes and go back to your old ROM (Backup before) just to ensure, that you aren't drawing conclusions between two independent errors.
Except this it's hard to analyse. Sounds like a ROM/Radio Problem to me, but just a wild guess since this just sounds so random (why onle for 2 apps?).

It was the official manufacturer's update. Yeah, the problem is pretty random and weird. But the latest firmware is working fine for me and reverting to the old firmware, even for testing, would too much of a pain just for 2 apps. So, I put forth the question on xda to see if anyone is familiar with such a problem

Anybody?

Are you aware when the Galaxy S Advance will get the Ice Cream Sandwich, or will it go directly to JB?

Update to Data will not reconnect once lost

i started a thread called " Data once lost wont re-connect" back in June
I still don't know what the problem is caused by but it's definitely lollipop related.
i have possibly tried every lollipop rom there is to try and it's always the same.
i'm a driver and cover the whole of Scotland, sometimes some obscure places
with no DATA signal..Once the exclamation mark was up then only a reboot would
sort out the problem and reconnect the DATA. I have tried 3 phones and they all
have the same problem. Now all the phones are on the Three network so it could
well be an incompatability between Three and lollipop??!
I have wiped the phones and put in 38r and 44s and i have not had to reboot
any of the phones this week so it looks like the problem is not apparent on KitKat.
I'm starting to enjoy the Oneplus once again !!!nearly had the samsung edge a couple
of weeks ago!!!
I was thinking that i might of been the only one with this problem untill it happened to the wife's
phone when on holiday.The daughter gave up her phone and went back to an iphone so tried hers on lollipop
and the same problem .
Hope this might help somebody out there it's been driving me insane and although i have had to forget lollipop
and go back to KitKat the phone is now back to being usable and i get my emails and whatsapp when i'm supposed to

I use Calkulin's ROM, currently on the latest, with EE and don't get this problem.
I drive a lot for my job as well, so would expect to see this if it existed.

I don't know what it could be. It all points to the Three network but why does it not happen on KitKat? There must be some issue with Three/Oneplus and Lollipop, especially as the problem is there on all three phones i have tried. After months of trying Lollpop ROMS and different Kernals i am totally stumped, but revert the phones back to 38r or 44s and everything is ticketyboo !!

I'd be tempted to put one of the phones on Calkulin's ROM, then stick an EE SIM card in (just get a PAYG for testing) and compare the results.
I presume you have double-checked the APNs are definitely the same?

Unexpected problems after updating to MM through Smart Switch

Dear Forum,
My wife acquired the S6 last week and I helped her through the initial stuff of creating backup from her previous S3.
All went fine, all was where it should have been, nothing missing, great stuff.
The "Software Upgrade" utility inmediately tells you that there's an upgrade available to MM and I thought to myself "Well, that phone is from November 2015, the upgrade couldn't harm, in fact, it usually improves things", right ?
My wife asked if there was going to be an issue with the upgrade and if it would be possible to downgrade again....
So, I went to Kies3, which directed me to Smart Switch and I began the upgrade. After it was done I did a factory reset and the phone booted, all ok...so far...
I gave the phone to my wife (an avid Instagrammer) and she told me : this is not working, what have you done to my phone ? The nightmare begins for me...
1. Apparently the wifi signal was quite poor (even if sitting in front of the router). It takes some time to connect, which means that pages like Instagram, tumblr, facebook, even searches in Chrome take an eternity to load ! It didn't happen on version 5.1 apparently on her S6 (which I doubt) , and on her S3 it worked flawlessly. I have to say though that I experience the same issue on my current Z9 Max. I believe that the router (Glass Fiber connection) is quite old and not up to new standards, that's why it hangs with new phones. I only have wifi issues at home, any other router I connect to (Bars, brother home, mother home, at work) work perfectly fine. I will change the router as soon as I can, but I firmly believe it has to do with new hardware the router is not used to.
2. Mobile Data
They did not work at all... The look on my wife's face said it all "What the Eff have you done to my fresh new phone" ??? I'm asking this to myself also now...why did I upgrade this thing ? In the end I managed to get mobile data, simply by trying 3G, 2G, individual options and finally 4G worked again. But yeah, what do you do at home with a smartphone if you don't have an internet connection ?
Why did Samsung push-out this upgrade, why are they forcing messages onto the user that an upgrade is needed ? I mean, I've been using Android for quite some time and I've flashed many many Roms, installed software upgrades, I never ever faced any issue on my HTC or Nubia, all worked fine after an upgrade, at least mobile data were working always. Samsung is supposed to deliver top notch phones with top notch upgrades...how can they possibly offer/push something that might cause more trouble than joy ?
I assume a FW upgrade is needed as well, why don't they warn ?
Now the question.... if 5.1 worked fine, is there any possibility to downgrade the S6 to a previous Android version ? Would it be possible with Odin ?
I got an angry wife sitting at home , which is convinced that I only wanted to play around and didn't want to help her.
Have you guys experienced problems after upgrade to MM on the S6 ?
Cheers,
Ken

Play Store and Widgets Freeze -> When Blue Tooth On

I have been fighting problems with my widgets freezing, as well as updates from the Play Store freezing, for a long time, on my Note 9, which on on V9 of Android.
Doing a complete factory refresh fixes the problem, temporarily. All searchs turn up instructions to clear cache, etc, to no avail.
I finally did a global search on XdA and found this thread based on a Xiaomi Mi 8 with Miui 9.6.3 having the problem with the Play Store. The 'fix' was to turn off blue tooth, and reboot.
I have tried that, and what do you know...that fixes the problem...until I need blue tooth turned on.
So, I"m thinking this is a general Android problem, given it is on two different brands of phones, with two different mfgr updates, and different versions of Android.
Anyone else know of this issue, and of any fix? I'm thinking maybe Google needs to address it, and likely is not aware of the problem. I have no idea how to communicate it to Google, and no expectation that they'd pay attention to me.

If you are using a custom ROM, it is probably something in the ROM that the ROM developer needs to fix, in this case, you will have to get the developer to fix this issue in the ROM itself. Post details of the issue in the thread where you got your ROM.
If you're using stock, it probably isn't something that involves Google's part of your stock firmware, it is probably something caused by your manufacturer's part of your stock firmware.
What I mean is, android devices have Google's base android OS on them, but they also have things on top of the base OS that is put there by the manufacturers and/or carriers, such as the UI that your device uses, some manufacturers use their own UI instead of the stock Google UI.(i.e. TouchWiz UI for Samsung devices, Sense UI for HTC devices, etc).
If this is the case, you need file a bug report to your specific device's manufacturer or to your specific carrier.

Yes, I am using a stock ROM. I will try notifying my carrier, although I find it interesting that the Chinese brand Xiaomi has the same problem. I don't think that would be sourced by my carrier, AT& T.

That may or may not be for the same reason, maybe the two devices have the same bluetooth components and use the same drivers in the kernel, the kernels also could or could not be the same.

Well, at any rate, I guess I may dump this Note 9. I do find consistently that turning BT off it works fine, but I need BT on a lot, and it's wearing out fast to be thinking of turning it on and off.
BTW...I don't recall if I mentioned it, but my wife has a Note 9 too. I had it first, and experienced this problem. WE swapped to see what happened. Still have the problem, so both phones have it.
IN her case, she doesn't use many apps, doesn't care about updating apps, but turning BT off to do so is no problem. Only time she used BT is in the car.

Just an update...
I ended up going back to the N.ote 9. It's been working flawless for quite a while. I had decided whatever was causing the issue got fixed... But it's back tonight. And, turning off Bluetooth does NOT fix it this time.
Really frustrating.

Interesting thing...so I reloaded the Note 3-4 times trying different things. Couple interesting things I noted:
One test was to factory reset, load zero other apps, and check Play Store. It had severa apps to upead. I selected update all, and the freeze happened on the very first app. So this confirms it is not any of the third party apps that I use that is causing this.
By late evening, I had restored my phone to the way I use it. There were 20 apps that needed updating. It was stuck on the first one at 99% for 2 hourse when I went to bed.
When I got up this morning, all had updated...6 hours earlier. So at around 2:30 all apps updated one right after the other.
This feels like the PS is holding back the updates until some unknown parameter is met.
I have searched and spent a few hours reading posts about this problem. It apparently is prevalent, for years. Most of the posts talk about erasing cache and data for PS and/or Download Manager. Those and nothing else suggested is working. It's interesting that it seemed that turning off blue tooth would allow PS to work fine...a few months ago, but not now.
