Play store slow? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I switched to rcn yesterday for Internet and today on wifi I noticed how slow the wifi is downloading an app in the market.. Speed test shows all is fine with All computers and phones on wifi.. Seems only play store is only one having issues.. Here video recording my sister phone with the issue.. Anyone run into this before? Call rcn? Workaround?

4G issues

Is anyone having problems loading videos through their 4G connection (You Tube and through Flash). When I start to load videos they stay stuck on the loading screen and never load. The only time they load is through a Wi-Fi connection.The same issue applies to Google Play, when downloading an app. It constantly stays on "connecting to network". So the question is is this a 4G problem or a Google error that has yet to be fixed?

As far as google play issue its known only workaround is to download with 3g I haven't had an issue with YouTube.

Are you having You Tube loading problems? Mines constantly stays loading and I reflashed the EL29 Rom twice, and it didn't work.

It's probabaly just sprint's so-so 4g speed & reliability. Unless i'm in a good 4g area, i experience the same thing with youtube.

Where's My Water? minus WiFi = fail

Just a heads up for WMW players on Nexus 7.
I've found out that the game in subject runs just fine but only as long as you're connected to the net.
If you loose the WiFi connection or turn it off, the game force-closes upon launch.
This is either a JB compatibility issue or Nexus 7 compatiblity issue because the same game works just fine on SGS III with airplane mode turned on.
I've raised the issue with the Disney support, so we just have to wait how fast they'll react with the correction

It's mostly likely not an issue not being able to connect to servers. They most likely try to check for wifi/3g connection (as opposed to internet connectivity), and if it doesn't have it, they mishandle that, causing an application crash. I haven't watched the logs for it though, so not sure.
Same here mate, Reported to Disney, hopefully they look in to this soon
darn, I was hoping this issue was solved by now.
Im using an acer a500 with ICS and I have this same problem. Any workaround?
both apps work fine without wifi here. and have since beginning of october at least.
Always worked fine for me with or without WiFi and with or without a 3G connection on my phone.

A lot of apps do a 1 time licence check on the first startup.

Signal problems :(

Hello everyone,
I tried to search about this problem but no luck. My phone says 4g and it have 3 bars but sometimes it wont even pull up a website like I have no service at all and it says coukd not open (for example xda-developers.com) Also in apps I will open it sometimes and it wont load the content if its internet related like xda or facebook app. But sometime in the same place I will get great internet speeds.* I checked with t-mobile and they say there isnt a problem with any of the towers.
The apps are the main problems they run slow or not at all.
I live in wylie, tx
I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem and maybe know how to fix it.
Im using the jedi Rom
Thanks,
Zach

[Q] nfl rewind

anybody get NFL rewind working on the GS3? I have been using the firefox all year to watch 2012 games. In the last week or so, it stopped working. Only plays for about 10 seconds and then freezes.
it seems like the handling of the internet stuff has changed. Not clear if it's on their end or mine. I am running the lastest MOAR ROM. I also did a factor reset and cleared cache's without help. also loaded stock MD4, and didn't work.
any other ideas on why there would be a change?
A search and discussion from elsewhere on XDA indicates that the App will not work on rooted phones. Just from what I have read anyhow.
Unless your on TPR

Thanks, but I was asking about nfl rewind, not nfl mobile. I had been watching games using the firefox web browser. The nfl rewind app only works on tablets as far as i can tell. I must have been the only one using the subscription on my phone's web browser.
stopped working a week or so ago.
Ok. So I did a lot of searching and I found a program that seems to work. However, it's choppy on my connection. My wifi is slow. Is there anyone out there with fast Internet that can try it? I am using the slowest comcast speed. So if you have rewind and faster Internet, please try and report back.
I got it running with photon browser. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appsverse.photon

Google play downloads extremely slow?

HTC M8 here, ever since I upgraded to this phone I have experienced slow slow speeds with Google play store.
When updating an app, get 130k per second. This is with wifi OFF. Speedtest shows I have at least 20mb/second downloading no problem.
Anyone else have slow updating speeds?
