Hey, I am on SlimKat 4.4.2 build 5 (not that it matters, as I've had this problem on all the ROMs I have tried) and for some reason the apps in the title don't work on my wifi. I have tried resetting the router, wiping my cache, forgetting the network, and a few other things, all with no success. The apps just try to refresh for a long time then say connection error. Surfing Google Chrome works fine on my phone, as well as anything else that requires internet. Any tips?
If just those apps won't work then maybe something on your phone is blocking those apps from accessing the network. Try clearing app data; Settings>Apps>Find Your App>Clear Data. Also do you have an AdBlocker that could be causing issues?

Anyone have any ideas on the cause of this?
I can watch videos on youtube and facebook while on 3G, but when on WiFi youtube and facebook videos errors out. I can watch youtube fine using a PC on the same WiFi network. I am on stock rooted LG8.
Things I've tried.
removing all youtube updates, reboot
clearing youtube data, reboot
uninstalling busybox, reboot
removing adblock (restoring original hosts file), reboot
I don't want to do a full factory reset. Anyone got any ideas?
I get this issue sometimes on my phone. I find that restarting the phone makes the problem go away for awhile. Also, try resetting your wifi connection. Hold your finger on the connection in wifi settings and select "forget"...then add the hotspot again. I think this is a bug within the stock LG8 ROM. Install BlazerROM, haven't had any issues since I did this.
Well, I have restarted the phone numerous times without any improvement, but I never thought of deleting the WiFi connection and recreating it. That did it. Thanks.
i'm having this same problem.. youtube works over 3G but i get "connection to server lost" when i try to stream a video while connected to wifi.
already tried several methods and same problem. i'm stock and unrooted.. i wonder if having wifi setup with static IP (no DHCP) has anything to do with it..
really hope they fix this problem because it's really lame.
Edit: it looks like it does have to do with having wifi setup as static IP.. found this thread with someone having the same problem, yet no fix.. pretty ridiculous Google/Samsung, not sure which of the two is to blame..
Hello guys, well i have a bit of a strange problem, i have an unbranded HTC M8, i had it with 4.4.2 stock rom and everything was alright. I just upgraded to 4.4.3 (through OTA), after that, i did a wipe data/wipe cache from recovery to start from scratch, and now everytime i enable wifi the arrows beneath the wifi simbol stay lit all the time. Now i haven't installed any apps, i disabled facebook, google+ etc, i haven't even added an email account so there's nothing that could be using the network. I checked mobile data usage and there's nothing substantial there, so i really don't know what to try anymore. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Android OS shows increasing data usage. What's that exactly?!
Well, completely desperate, i started blocking apps from the app menu in the settings. Apparently, it kind of stopped when i freezed all the related sense processes (facebook, twitter, etc.) though i didn't have any accounts working, because i had just factory formated the phone. Still, it keeps transfering data (not as much) and it's the Android OS doing it. I also have to add this only happens through wifi, 3G data doesn't behave the same way.
I attempted to download an app from Google Play yesterday and noticed the download was running very slow so i stopped it and re-tried it a few times. It then stalled and would not download at all so I closed Google Play store and went back into it, now I get 'No Connection' in the center of the screen and Google Play will not work. I have since tried my stock Android browser and I get 'Web page not available' and also Youtube and Amazon app store have similar issues. However, what doesn't make sense is that some Internet based apps work fine and Dolphin browser works fine too. If I switch off Wi-Fi and connect to 3G everything works fine so the issue lies with the Wi-Fi connection. My wife who has the same phone can connect and use the Wi-Fi fine without any issues and any other Internet device I have is still working as it should be. It appears it is only my phone with the issue.
I have tried checking date/time which is correct.
I have reset cache and cleared data for both the browser, Youtube and Google Play
I have rebooted my phone and my broadband router
I have tried changing the security settings to from WPA2-PSK (AES) to WPA/WPA2-PSK (Mixed Mode)
All to no avail.
I have rooted Android 4.3 but it has been working fine for over a year before now. I would want to avoid doing a factory reset at all costs as I have some important apps that can't be backed up with the likes of Helium and some other forums have shown that a factory reset has not resolved the issue.
Any help on this matter would be much appreciated.
After a day of trying to resolve this issue I have finally managed to fix it. This may be useful for anyone else having the same issue:
I went into my Wi-Fi settings and looked for my router in the list and did a long tap on the name and chose 'Forget Network' so it removes my router. I then did a re-scan so it picked it back up. When tapping it, this time I was able to re-enter my Wi-Fi password and connect. After doing this everything started working again.
I've no idea why all of a sudden the network failed to work correctly but at least it is now sorted. I just don't understand why some Internet access worked and others did not. I guess I shall never know!
About three days ago my phone stopped letting me play clash of clans over wifi, I thought it was just the router needing a restart, so switched to mobile data and that was that.
The next day I restarted the router and still no connection to clash of clans over wifi. Tried just a normal webpage in chrome - worked fine, tried going on my gmail through chrome, worked fine, but anything to do with googleplay store, or syncing with my account from my phone and it just won't connect over wifi. Mobile data and everything works.
I tried clearing cache and dalvik, factory reset, downgrading to 4.2.2 no sense, then another 4.4.4, then a lollipop, just in case it was something to do with the google apps not talking properly with everything else, but to no avail.
Went into the router and factory reset it, tried different security settings and no change. Normal wifi just using the phones browser works fine, as does everything over mobile data. But nothing to do with google is working over wifi. My partner also has an android and uses the same internet connection and all is well, I have gone to a friends place and wifi with google has the same problem.
Anyone with any ideas welcome.
Hello,
I have some issues with a couple of Apps, especially Google Allo, as they say that they don't have an internet connection.
I have either Wifi or mobile data enabled and for both I can state that internet is fine as using most Apps and Browser is good.
I am a bit desperate what issue or cause this could be?
Did you manage to fix this? it began to happen to me as well since CM14.1
