[Q] Apps not working on Home wifi! - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys, am having serious problem from last 4-5 days. Apps on my galaxy n7100 are not working properly/completely when i use home wifi, i get below mentioned problems for specific apps:
playstore: check your connection and try again
facebook: error loading news feed, tap to retry
gmail: not syncing and even not updating , in other words not working
whatsapp: sometimes i get notifications for new messages/calls but sometimes not, and when i open the app itself i get the notifications
facebook messenger: unable to login, but once i login using any other wifi, now i get messages
similar things are with many other apps like pages manager, snapchat etc.
Hike is working fine! (indian messenger app)
i got this problem first time from facebook messenger, it wasn't loading new messages, then suddenly facebook stopped loading and finally play store and everything else.
i tried updating all apps, uninstalling and reintsalling these apps, uninstall and reinstall play store app completely [removed even factory version and used an olde backup i had on my pc to install it again] , but nothing worked!!!
is there any serious issue with android going on these days or what?
am using no proxy server nothing on my router, my PC and laptop are working fine over my home wifi, even many other apps are working on phone and internet is working, but the problem is with some of these apps. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Start with restarting modem, then turn off sync and see if something changes.
There is also option to turn off wifi power saving in service menu (it was somewhere in forum).
Go as close to modem as possible.

no change :/
i already did modem resetting, restarting and even allocated dedicated IP for the android device. but nothing happens, though i found a small thing, when i restart modem, things work and i get push messages/notifications for a very small amount time say 4-5 seconds thats it!

Download issues: stalled at "Starting download"

Hi all,
I'm having an issue where i can't download anything from the market. It just stuck when starting download. I even left apps trying to download overnight - and still nothing.
I already cleared data from all the possible places: download manager, market, google apps, etc. Everything else works fine. I have access to the internet, gmail, gtalk, Gmaps. I killed a task killer, powered off a few times and all the same
I'm running stock, version 003.
What are my options? Please help.
I had that problem with my G1 on TMO, but it hasn't been an issue with my EVO and Sprint. It could be poor service. Have you tried it over WiFi?

What account did you set up for your google account? I had this problem when I first got my phone because I did not use a gmail account. I figured a google account was good enough.
It isn't.
I'd start with troubleshooting your default mail account on phone. Your gmail must be your default. And...lucky...if it isn't...you get to do a factory reset.
That is what I had to do. Lesson learned.
thanks guys, i think i fixed it.
I killed startup auditor and started google talk. Now all works fine. I never had GTalk running and never had any issues with the market. I guess i let gtalk eat my battery life from now on..... Unchecking autosign in doesn't help. It always shows in the running apps.

Problems downloading from the Marketplace?

Is anyone having problems downloading from the marketplace at the moment? I've been unable to download or update any apps all day.
Alternatively can anyone suggest any other reasons why I can't download apps? I'm connecting to the web fine with both WiFi & 3g. I can surf fine 2.
Thanks in advance.

I have some problems too on whatever ROM I use. Sometimes, if I download an app, it begins downloading but the progress bar stays blank and does nothing. If I try it again an hour later or next day, I can download the app.
Sorted....
hi all.
finally fixed it.
Had a problem accessing my Google accounts a while back. Google fixed it (don't ask me how - I never heard a word from them) but it looks like all of my original googlemail.com account logins now have to use the gmail logins. When I added this account to my phone - voila everything words.

Strange WLAN Issue

Hy guys. I have a strange WLAN Issue on my One X.
Problem: I have activated WLAN and I can browse without any problem with any browser I want. But when i fire up an app like Play store or GMAIL, my connection times out or something similar.
Play Store example: I want to download an app, click on Accept and Download, the status bar pops up, but there is no progress. it just do nothing for 1 or 2 minutes... then the download starts (if i´m lucky).
Sometimes when i disable WLAN and fire it up again, i can download in Market with no problem.
GMAIL example: I want to see my mails, scroll down until i reach the last one (on my phone. Then it says "Loading Conversations" (to download more mails) and now the circle keeps spinning and spinning and I also get a timeout or sometimes (if i´m lucky again) it starts to dowload the next 5 mails.
Browser example: No timeouts, everything work like a charm.
So its only on apps it seems. And not only in GMAIL or Play Store... no... the issue is on all apps.
I attach a logcat where i highlighted what i´ve done (with explenation).
Additional Info: It´s not ROM depended, it happens on nearly all ROM´s Ive tried. Tried also many different Kernels and none of them solved the Problem
Might be an issue with your router. Do you have a firewall running on your router?
Sorry i forgot to mention that the problem occours on every WLAN im logged into. Tested 5 different and always the same.. I guess the answer is in logacat... but i might be wrong... maybe some pro can get a look into it...

Try clearing the data and cache out of Play Store and Gmail and see if this fixes it. The download hanging problem has been an issue for a lot of people since the day Android was released.
ok, give it a try...thank you

[Q] Problem with instant messaging and downloading some apps from play store

Hi,
my One X fell into water for one second. Unfortunatelly it damaged wifi card. When I try to switch it on, it says error. I've decided to give up on wifi and use only mobile network data connection.
My problem is that I cannot download some play store applications, even the small ones like facebook messenger. Also instant messaging doesn't work, no matter what app I use (fb messenger, go chat, google talk, skype...). I don't have this problem when I put my SIM card to my older Desire HD or Lumia 820. Even when wifi is off, IM works fine and I have no problems downloading apps from store. Funny thing is that browsing, emails, facebook, youtube or downloading of some apps works fine.
It doesn't seem like a HW issue to me, so I've tried to reset to factory settings. Didn't help.
Then I've tried to root my phone a try different ROM. I've tried many ROMs but I always get stucked when UI is about to load with error message "the process com.android.phone has stopped". The only ROM that seems to work is stock ROM, when I restore backup.
Do you have any ideas?? What can I do to make IM and app store working and also flash custom ROM. Thanks.
Did you flash the correct boot.img from the rom.zip? Which rom did you try?

No notifications

Hi,
I have a OP3 running OxygenOS 4.0.3.
The phone has been running without issues, but now I have one.
A couple of days ago I turned the battery saver on. Ever since then, for notifications, it is behaving like if it was in battery saving mode. So, I don't get gmail, outlook, facebook, ... notifications. Telegram is working tough.
In parallel, I've tried to set-up Google Prompt as 2nd step authentication and I'm getting the following error:
"It looks like you have a compatible phone, but it's not online. "
I can confirm that my phone is online and that I can browse the internet. Probably this has the same root cause as the notifications problem.
Any help?
Do a factory reset and setup your Google account again. Looks like the phone is not able to contact the Google servers.
Thanks for the answer,
The phone is capable of reaching google servers. If I open the Gmail app for example and refresh, it fetches my mails.
I think that somehow the problem is that applications are not accessing data in the background.
I have a similar problem. When I'm connected to wifi I miss and not receive some notifications. Even got me in a bind a few times with work. Uugh
