On my galaxy nexus I can't set up my exchange account. I get the message "Can't connect to server." I have a build of ICS on my old incredible that I was able to set up my account on using the exact same settings. Is anybody else having this problem? Any solutions?
GNex Exhange Issues
Hey... Just signed up to hopefully get some headway on this. I also picked up the Galaxy Nexus (awesome so far) and tried to set up my Exchange account. I used the same settings from my OG Droid, so I know they're correct. I also get the "Can't connect to server" error message. I can add a few points of interest:
-I was able to successfully set up my account using the identical settings just by hopping on WiFi. My account synced up fine and appeared to be solved. However, as soon as I went back on Verizon's wireless network, I once again can no longer connect to the server and receive no new mail.
-Third party email apps, such as TouchDown, connect to the server just fine while on the VZW network or WiFi. So at least that means it's not an issue with Verizon's network. You may want to find a third party app in the meantime to at least get you up and running until we can get the native app running.
-I've already been in touch with both the admins for my Exchange account and Verizon tech support. Unsurprisingly, they have no previous reports of similar issues on the GNex and don't have any way of fixing the issue. I recommend reporting it to VZW to at least get more documented cases on the books with them.
So if anyone around here has cracked this egg so far, I would appreciate some help. I suspect this isn't going to be a quick fix, whatever the specific issue, but we will see. If I can provide any more info to help, just let me know. Thanks.
I've setup my exchange account on the nexus just fine. It works on 3g/4g and wifi perfectly.

Same here. However, due to the terrible radio reception, I did have some instances AFTER setup where it failed to connect for a refresh because mobile data wasn't available (because signal was in the toilet).

I've been having problems signing in to Google Talk for a while now. It says "Could not connect to server. Will retry shortly" and never connects. It used to work, but for the past couple of weeks I've been having nothing but issues. I have tried reflashing my ROM, and have tried other ROMs and still have the issue.
My market is also pretty much broken, I can't download anything. It just gets hung up on starting download. I know these two problems are related so I'm hoping that if I get to the bottom of my GTalk issue then my market will work again.
Does anybody have any idea what I can do to get this working again?
In case it matters, I am running Fresh 3.2.0.0.
I had this too. I've been turning 3g off (and getting insane battery life, btw), but my google talk takes forever to reconnect. Market is also hanging at downloading.
After leaving my data on for awhile, everything is ok.
I'm also on Fresh 3.2.
Yeah I left my data on all day today and it's still not working :/
I saw these symptoms when my WiFi was enabled. It turned out that GTalk couldn't connect to its servers through my firewall. In my case, it was because the necessary outbound TCP and UDP ports where closed. I found that GTalk needs several outbound ports open to work properly.
In your firewall configuration you may need to:
* Enable UDP connections to anywhere on any port.
* Enable TCP connections to anywhere on port 5222.
* Enable TCP connections to anywhere on port 443.
After I made these changes, I was able to successfully sign into GTalk and download from the market.

I just got a new EVO and am running the commercial rom for a week or so just to see how fast it is out of the box for a while.
Anyways, I have been having a ton of issues with Gtalk doing the same thing, it never signs in via wifi and even then when I disable wifi and just use 3g it hangs and gives the message you mentioned. Sometimes it logs in, it causes problems with market and chrome to phone (c2p) too. Power cycling the 3g radio is not helping.
I got to the root of my problem a few weeks ago. What I found was that if I sign out and then back in to Talk on my PC, it starts working right away on my phone and then the market comes back up. It's a workaround but it does work for me EVERY time.
Same problems here.. I constantly have connection issues. Both through WiFi and 3g
I'm having problems with this too. Any permanent solutions?
I believe its on Google's part.
it is 3g network problem, try with wifi or after airplane mod and has to sign in

Has anyone else had trouble accessing Google Talk over 3G? If I don't use WiFi, it constantly tells me "unable to access server." If I do turn on WiFi, and then shut it off, GTalk shows everything grayed out. If I don't sign in to GTalk, I can't use the market. What's going on here? I was able to use GTalk on 3G *once* today. Not anymore.
My googletalk hasn't been able to sign in for the past 2 days.
It will randomly not be able to connect but then later connect for a few minutes and sign out.
I'm connected to wifi and its working now however.

Just had this problem on my girlfriend's Epic. It has to do with the Market, they're linked to your account and you can't have on without the other (from experience). I tried rebooting, clearing market and gtalk cache and the new update that came out a few days ago but nothing seemed to work. I finally did a factory reset and everything worked like it should.

It's just plain stupid that this is necessary. Android is starting to really grate on my nerves lately.
Hmmm, my GTalk works when on wifi or 3G. Now when I change connections from one to the other it takes some time to reconnect sometimes. That I do notice.
Forgive My Brevity. To Be Or Not To Be...
I had to hard-reset the damn thing. Adding Google accounts was giving me the stupid "Could not establish a reliable connection to the server" bullcrap. Of course, everything works *wonderfully* now (minus GPS, of course), and the phone is nice and fast again. What is this, Windows Mobile?!
Edit: GAH! It's happening again! "Could not connect to server. Will retry shortly" when on 3G! WTF, Google. I just wasted 2 hours reinstalling apps after a hard reset just to get this crap all over again.
So is this for sure a problem on googles side?? Cuz only few people seem to confirm this issue. I'm still within my 30 days, so I can exchange my phone if its a specific phone related problem..
I don't know. Some rocket surgeon over at Google decided that it was best to allow multiple Google accounts on the phone and sync everything, but not let you change Gtalk accounts. Their response to the bug? They try to throw the Gtalk team under the bus and close the bug report.
Okay, and now it's working again. I moved around to another Sprint tower and everything worked again. This actually happened yesterday. Now I'm back to my original location where the bug showed itself the first time, and things still seem to be working. I'm going to avoid reboots for now...
I am having the same problem

I am also having the same problem with my Galaxy S2. Has anyone resolve this without resetting it to factory setting?
I can't be the only one with terrible Chrome to Phone reliability performance on my Evo. I thought this was a cool concept when it came out but since day one it has never worked reliably.
Most often when I send something from Chrome (on Win 7 laptop with Chrome 7.0.517.44) I get the message "Sent to phone." but nothing. ever. shows. up. on the phone.
After logging in an out of the chrome to phone app on the phone several times it will sometimes work for a while but the next time I go to use it it's the same deal.
This happens whether im on 3G or 4G networks. I'm running stock ROM, rooted, 3.30.651.3 with HTC #17 kernel.
In the interest of figuring this out I just wiped cache/user data and reinstalled 3.30 RUU. (still rooted) I also uninstalled the chrome plugin, reinstalled and restarted.
After logging in on both ends this app still doesn't work. I remember it working one time when I first got my Evo but it's been months and I don't know if this app has just gone by the wayside now or if it's not officially supported on the Evo or what the deal is? I asked another fellow Evo owner to try this app and he confirmed it did not work for him either. He is in a non-4G area I don't know if that could affect things?
I would think a fresh installed install of both the android app and the browser plugin would fix this but perhaps it's something on Google's end? Has anyone gotten this app to work in the past few weeks?
Any help is appreciated
I used it the other day without problem. Strange

It works fine for me. I would suspect a problem with your network. Make sure your firewall isn't blocking the program. Also switch to manual instead of automatic link execution. Maybe your phone gets the link but then craps out when it tries to run it.

I think you're onto something with the network comment. I'm using a cheap $20 netgear router that sometimes does other internet weirdness.
I just tried it on a commercial wifi access point and it worked fine. So I guess it's not my phone or my laptop.
This issue happens to me sometimes. The thing I noticed is when the problem does happen GTalk also stops workings. In order to fix this I have stop and start my internet connection. This bug has been documented. Its bug number 67 on the Chrome to Phone Google project page.
i have searched every possible threads and browsed Google for hours to find for a solution. but i couldn't find any. i have a stable WiFi connection,yet, my whatsapp messages are delayed.( they are not delayed if i am using mobile data). if i send a msg now it takes forever to send it.moreover if someone send me a messsage , i receive it lately,probable 3,4 messages together. i have also noticed that my WiFi do not stay active when i use whatsapp.probably this is the reason my messages do not get sent instantly. the two small arrows in the WiFi bars disappears.which means data are not being sent or received.i have to open the play store or browse the internet to make the connection active. why is it that when i use whatsapp the WiFi connection becomes inactive but when i browse,WiFi is healthy? is there any way that i can force WiFi to stay active and connected when i am using whatsapp?or is it possible to increase the priority of whatsapp to use the max WiFi strength just like browsers and play-store? i really can don't care about battery if i can use whatsapp properly.is there any modded whatsapp apk which can force max wifi to stay active etc etc... i am really frustrated. any help is highly appreciated.
p.s: i have changed kernels, from Franco to trinity than Franco again, unchecked "avoid poor WiFi connections", set WiFi sleep policy to "never"
Sounds more like a problem with your WIFI router then the phone itself. Have you tried to reboot your router?
WIFI High performance widget might help you to keep the WIFI alive when screen off.

Did you tweak the Wifi parameters with your custom kernels (low latency mode)? Have you tried flashing back stock kernel to see if that fixes the issue?
not yet. but my question is if the wifi network was the problem then my brothers htc one x running ics and galaxy tab running gingerbread should also face this problem in whatsapp,ryt? but they dont.is it the rom i am using?do u think getting back to stock might help? any recommendations? i love xenon
I know exactly what you're talking about because I experience it as well. It doesn't matter what ROM, (stock, CM10, PA etc) kernel, (stock, Franco, Trinity etc) or what WiFi network I'm on (work, home, coffee shop etc) but whenever I'm on WiFi my messages in WhatsApp are delayed when the application isn't open. I've basically concluded it's the app itself that has a problem with WiFi. I have no fix, I just keep hoping that the next update will fix it.
The developer website isn't very helpful either. Basically suggesting not to use WiFi if the other fixes they suggest don't work.

No idea unfortunately
I know it was running fine for me on ICS, but I noticed it changed after JB. I run the version of WhatsApp offered directly from the website which I think is different from the Play Store, so I don't know if it was a version change, or something specific to JB.
If I know I'm going to be using WhatsApp I stay off WiFi. Not ideal, but it's the only thing I've done that's "fixed" it.

If you always had this problem since the day you bought the phone and on stock (not sure if you flashed a custom ROM right on the first day you owned it), probably not. But if whatsapp worked fine before and the problem was introduced after flashing a custom ROM/kernel, I'd say returning to stock will probably fix it.

I've used whatsapp since day 1 I have my gnex. No issues whatsoever, not on ICS nor on JB. I also don't see this forum flooded with people complaining about whatsapp, so I'd say it's a specific problem linked to your whatsapp account and/or phone.

Beats me. However, with millions of users and billions of messages sent per day, things obviously can go wrong. Try contacting whatsapp support.

I've used Whatsapp for a very long time, previously on an HTC Desire S and now on my GNex GSM and never had issues.... I'm on stock JB rom but I've tried several others with diff kernels and no probs whatsoever. Until today. Faced the exact same prob as the OP described (whatsapp msg's go thru or come very late on wifi but do so fine on 2G/EDGE - however everything else works just fine re gtalk msg's/browsing etc and whatsapp works fine too on my brother's SGS3 on wifi).
Was going nuts googling about it when my brother informed me that he'd changed the home ISP and now our wifi router was pumping out access from a new ISP's modem. So I tried switching back to the old ISP to test (swapped the cable modem that connects to our wifi router) and whatsapp works fine again. Then my brother switched back to the new ISP's modem and same problem for me on whatsapp! So we factory reset the router after upgrading it's software to latest from the manufacturers website and now, finally, whatsapp works fine for me on both ISP's modems.
Maybe you can try messing with your router (factory reset or look thru its settings or try another ISP input just to test?), maybe it will help. It's a strange issue though. (FWIW my router's a cheap one by TENDA and my phones wifi sleep policy is set to always on).

I am having a problem with the wifi in my house and my Verizon Note 4. Some apps load very slow such as YouTube, Inbox/Gmail, Instagram, and Google play music for example won't play music at all. I also sometimes don't get hangouts notifications on time. Fairly often I have to open the actual conversation thread for the messages to show up. The weird thing is other apps seem to work flawlessly; Falcon Pro, Reddit Now, Pandora and Google Plus all work with no issues at all.
It gets even more frustrating....
My nexus 7 (2013) and my girlfriends HTC One (M8) work fine connected to the same wifi network.
The issues on my Note 4 all go away when connected to the wifi at my girlfriends house or when on 4G at home.
This leads me to believe the Note 4 just doesn't like my wifi here at home. I feel like I have tried EVERYTHING... Forgotten the wifi connection, made sure all the advanced wifi settings are correct, reset my router, I have even factory reset my phone but nothing has changed.
If anyone has any ideas please help. It will be greatly appreciated!!!

I also have some wifi issues. I can maintain connection with the wifi, however, the connection 'degrades' after the a couple of seconds to minutes and after the phone goes to sleep. I tried the following:
1. Airplane mode on and off
2. forgetting wifi and resigning in
3. rebooting
4. factory reset
5. router firmware update (Verizon fios Actiontec m1424wr).
No success... I've connected to other wifi sources (at verizon store, public restaurants, and mobile hotspots) and it would maintain a reliable connection like usual.
I'm getting a replacement Note 4 from Verizon. If that doesn't fix it I don't know what will...

This probably won't solve your WiFi problem, but maybe while you are at home you can use the "download booster" function? If you have unlimited data, of course, because it will use your 4G if I'm not mistaken(?) s:
After trying numerous things I finally received my replacement Note 4. Turned it on and connected... no wifi issues at all. This meant that it was not an issue with my router and instead isolated to the actual phone itself.
Very happy that this worked, though unfortunately it isnt the quickest fix. I suggest turning it in for a replacement if all else fails
