Would it be possible for some of you guys to install a couple of apps to test as I'm having problems with them.
The apps are World Newspapers (Abhishek Kumar) & BBC News (Jim Blacker). They install fine & launch. The problem I'm having is that I can't read any of the articles over wifi. When I turn off wifi & use 3g connection everything works fine.
I've done a hard reset & installed just those two apps but same thing happens. Also what I found is after a hard reset I can't access Android market over wifi. I have to switch off wifi & sign in using 3g connection first but after that its fine
Thanks

It happened to me as well and same as you first I had to access the market with 3G connection first to pass the terms and services stage/page.
Just a wild guess here... maybe both apps need to know where you are (location/country) so they can push the right news to you and that is not possible over a wifi connection.
I have both apps installed on a Dell Streak, HTC Desire, Galaxy S & Orange San Francisco with everything working perfectly fine over wifi.

Ouch! I did say it was a wild guess. Do you own all those devices? : )
Have you tried to set your network type to 2G only to see if that helps? Please kill/stop both apps first and if you are about to change your network type then please don't forget to reset it back.
Sorry mate wasn't trying to be cocky....
I've just installed Engadget app & having problems with that as well. When using over wifi it downloads the articles text only, pictures don't load. Again over 3g the whole article including pictures downloads just fine.
FYI Pulse app displaying same behaviour...
I think I may have a faulty phone.

What you just described in above meets when Data Server is enabled. Menu>Settings>Data Manager>Data server
This feature is meant for 3G though so I don't get why that happens over your wifi.
Another thing came in my mind was that a standard router supports 4 ports (connections) and you listing dozens of devices I was wondering how many devices are connected to the router when you are using your Defy? Surely you have a couple of pc/laptop too : )

My phone speaker stopped working after a couple of weeks so I returned to Amazon for refund. My Defy definately had a problem with the apps I described including yours, but as there not much people replying to this thread then maybe it was limited to just my device.
My friend
Where are you and which ISP you are using?
I believe the problem doesn't caused by your Defy.

HI there its nothing to do with isp. I have a Dell Streak, HTC Desire, Samsung Galaxy S & JUST got a Nexus S & they all have no problems with the apps.
Oh. I'm sorry about that. Can you check /system/etc/host ? You can view that as a text file. In a normal situation you can see "localhost 127.0.0.1" . if there has any other text, could you tell me?

I have been using my dhd as a wifi hotspot for my laptop for quite sometime, recently I got a nookcolor and I tried to connect to it as well. It showed that the wifi is connecter, but no internet.
I tried connecting to other sources, like a regular router, a nexus one, all works.
The settings are all default, including the DHCP being checked.
Anyone know why?
same problem I am with orange UK - wondering if just dont allow you to share your signal. I know in USA they have to pay their provider to use wifi hotspot. I posted on this before but nobody replied.
Well I persisted to try it out again, flipping around the authentication methods (None, WEP, WPA etc). Now this is the weird thing.
Gtalk/Gmail app on my nookcolor works perfectly fine. On browsers (stock, opera mini), nothing loads ....
which network are you with? and are you using stock rom?
I'm on a Singapore network, there's no restriction on tethering, and yes, I'm using stock rom (not rooted) on my desire hd, nookie froyo on my nookcolor.

I didn't want to make a new thread, so i thought i ask here.
Have any of you tried speedtest.net or the speedtest app?
If i do a speed test on my DHD it shows 4,5mbit download (HSDPA). But if i use HTC WIFI hotspot to share my phones internet connection, then i get only about 2mbit download on my laptop. Is that normal?

thanks i found another thread in same forum with the same info thx for pointing me in the right direction - completely fixed the problem - can now connect my archos 70i - sweet
Hey there! I've recently started having problems using 3G on my DHD.
I'm running Android Revolution HD 5.2.3, but the issues started occuring many versions before this, I just haven't had a chance to sit down and look into the problem.
When I connect to 3G, the icon appears in the notification bar but I simply seem to have no connectivity at all. Occasionally the icon will change to a H. If I try to browse a webpage, the up arrow on the icon will light up and the down arrow will occasionally flicker, but nothing happens. Can't browse webpages or use any apps that require a connection.
Sometimes it will randomly start working again for 15mins or so and then drop out again. 90% of the time, turning airplane mode on and then off again will fix the problem for 15mins also before it drops out.
Does anybody have any idea what problem I may be having? I'm with Vodafone Australia.
Update: At the suggestion of another XDA member, I tried flashing another radio and I'm still having the same issue, so I assume it is not related to the radio.
Bonus Question: When I can get access to 3G, since upgrading to ARHD 5.2.3, the google homepage no longer detects that I'm on a mobile device and does't take me to the mobile version. How can I fix this?
Please do check your 3G mobile data APN configuration. Make sure the 3G APN matched with your current carrier 3G configuration (search google for your Vodafone APN setting). The letter H indicates HSDPA connection (or 3.5G, maybe).
In browser setting, check your user agent setting, set it to Android/mobile. If not, clear cache and data of Browser program in Manage Application Setting.

Fixed the browser, thanks!
However, I have set up my APN correctly (as far as I am aware) and am still having the issue. Could re-flashing my radio help?
Update: At the suggestion of another XDA member, I tried flashing another radio and I'm still having the same issue, so I assume it is not related to the radio.
You have a fine, working mobile data, so you shouldn't have to push radio,RIL or flash kernel though. My best suggestion was the APN thing mentioned earlier. Or its network carrier related maybe? Try to consult your carrier customer service.

I consulted customer service and they are uncertain of any problems and simply told me that their service is 'not guaranteed to be perfect'.
However, a friend who lives in my area on the same carrier with the exact same phone is having no problems at all with connectivity, so I'm certain it's related to my phone alone.

Wow, that is not a nice thing to say to a customer. Have you tried to revert to stock rom with stock kernel and vodafone radio?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
I haven't tried that as I couldn't find the stock vodafone AUS RUU (I think that's what I need anyway...)
But I've had a custom rom and custom radio since the day I got my phone and up until two months ago or so my internet has been incredibly fast and not dropped out once, so I'm doubting it's ROM/Radio related... Starting to worry that it could be hardware.

I'm afraid so too. That's the worst case scenario. Still, you should consult someone who's expert in this matter personally. Not the repair shop (that would be last resort).

Does anyone else have problems staying logged into htcdev? Every time I log in, the site says I've logged in but on redirecting me to another page, logs me out.
According to their FAQ,
"Our site requires a single IP authentication, and if you are behind a more complicated network that may alter your IP depending on loading, certain features may not work as intended. We suggest you connect to our site via a direction connection, such as via a home network. We are sorry about the inconvenience and thank you for your patience."
Thing is I am at home. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Since I can't really unlock my bootloader if I can't access htcdev...
I had troubles using Chrome browser. I actually had to use IE to get it to work properly. Have you tried using a different browser?

Yes, I've tried Chrome, Opera and IE, all have the same problem.
Hmmm. Perhaps a router issue. Have you tried bypassing your router and connecting directly to your modem with ethernet cable?
I did try accessing the site from my phone and got the same problem. Also my computer isn't near the router so I can't try that.
Did you use wifi when accessing the site using your phone? If so, try using 3G with your provider ...?

Maybe you should make sure that your browser's cookie settings are correct. Also, if you are using a proxy, chances are, that cookies are not processed properly. Also, if your IP address constantly changes, it may cause problems logging in as well.
I'm having the same problem. I've tried Chrome, IE, Safari, Dolphin HD, etc. Nothing has worked. Its quite frustrating.
nope im havin the same prob. got hboot 1.58 so idk. get a message sayin " indicates hboot update required"

I had the same exact problem when trying to login to HTC dev. It would kick me out every time i would login. I found out that the date on my computer was wrong so i changed it and boom, it worked! Make sure that your date and time is accurate and see if it works. Hope this helps
I have been trying this on multiple computers, multiple browsers, with correct time settings I might add...and to no avail. Maybe this is there way of telling us to piss off and not mod our phones...might possibly be the last HTC I buy honestly. Great phone, but I have no way to make it better after it has hit the 1 year mark and my warranty is up.
This has been going on for some time now. I cannot actually pinpoint when it happened. But whenever I am at work, I can connect to the network and it's grayed out. I can still browse and use some app but I don't get notifications from my apps and cannot use Google Talk, for example. That entire app is grayed out.
It's an 802.1x EAP - PEAP - MSCHAPV2.
Anyone got any ideas or tricks to fix this? It used to work before and it doesn't. I do not believe anything changed on our end. And I also cannot just restart the router at work. Thanks in advance.

Can you access gmail directly? Sounds like google services may be blocked by your network admin? Just a guess...
Im trying to understand what exactly is happening with you.
Are you getting a wifi signal and no notifications?
or are you not getting any wifi signal at all?
If you are getting a connection but notifications and google apps dont work, it could be that your work router those ports blocked or has a firewall infront of it.
If you are not getting any wifi signal at all, I would try and backup everything, and do a factory rest - update. basically a stock, unrooted wipe and reflash.
Don't know why our how to fix it. But I know that if your wifi is gray you still have data connection. And if it's blue your connected to Google services as well
Jellin' like a felon
Okay, thanks guys. The ports may be blocked. I get WiFi connection, but the indicator is grayed out. When that is so, I can still go into an app and use it with manual refreshes but I never get notifications automatically like I'm supposed to. They only start to pop in one I leave with and get back in the cellular network. And for an app like gtalk, I cannot use whatsoever as I'm signed out.

This happened to me before and basically it was how my IT guy setup our WiFi network in our office. I couldn't use any Google push services on my phone (gmail, gtalk, calender, etc...). Every thing would work fine when I was on data connection, but would stop on WiFi. I just stopped using my work WiFi when I was in the office. It definitely had something to do with the firewall/privileges of the WiFi network.

port blocked..
google push notification and so gtalk need ports like 5222,5223,5228
usually in a work wifi only port 80 (http traffic) and 443 (httpS traffic) are open

Do you have wifi set to turn off when the display turns off?
I came across this thread because I'm having the same problem with my GS3, the only thing that solved it was installing a WiFi manager app from the market.
Factory reset plus downgrading from 4.2.2 to 4.2.0 was the only thing that worked for me.
FIX FOR GREY WIFI/MOBILE DATA, and google account sync
HI THERE, sorry im new to e forum, anyways im using a SGS 3LTE with custom rom CM 10.2 android 4.3, CWM touch recovery. So many people are not able to connect to the play store and services over wifi, but only over mobile data. Another issue is that the cellular data and wifi tend to remain grey, unlike that of android 4.0 and back which remains blue. So to solve this heres what i did.
DID EVERY F**KING CRAP OUT THERE. DIDNT WORK.
What i did: use a file manager with root access, look for 'hosts' file in systempath 'system/etc/' and deleted it. So far so good, its permanently blue for both wifi and cellular data, and also i am able to access google apps and store without a hitch.
DO SHARE WITH ME UR FINDINGS/RESULTS AND SPREAD THE LOVE PEOPLE
On a side note: i used to flash and modify small roms for my old htc hd2, but the above fix was heard from a website from god knows where LOL, im singaporean, i speak singlish, and im proud of it so im not gonna apologise for the broken english
In case this helps anyone, the way I solved it at home with my Galaxy Nexus is by changing the setting of the router to Wireless G or N only. I have two routers, so I set one on 802.11g and the other on 802.11n only. By default my DLinks came with mixed wireless protocols. The problem with this is that it seems to confuse devices. That's why they also used to take long to connect to Wifi in general. Since I've made them only one standard now, they connect very quickly. Also, because I had mixed B, G and N on my best router, I never got to really use N. Turns out I had my authentication on WEP, and the only way you're getting N is by using WEP2 with AES.
Fix is here
Hello There, I tried to reset phone,clearing chache,Data but it wont work but now
I have a quick solution on this issue and grey wifi becomes blue in some minutes.
All you need is "Rooted Phone"
1.Install : Root Explorer
2. Grant SuperSU permission to Root Explorer
3. Mount Root Explorer into Read/Write (R/W).
4. Go To System > etc > locate "HOSTS" file in etc folder.
5. Edit Hosts file using root explorer
6. Insert the symbol # before the second set of IP address numbers then save the changes and exit.
7. Reboot your phone...
8. wifi icon will be blue as you start your phone back and some apps like Google play store,keep,etc will be start as normal.
Thanks.
