Some apps won't run and no internet - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 GT-P5210 and have installed TWRP and cm-12.1-20150505-UNOFFICIAL-p5210.zip together with open_gapps-arm-5.1-stock-2016-02013, and all was ok. Now about 2 weeks ago although there was a wifi signal, there was an exclamation mark against it and no internet connection.
I tried to sort that out with no luck and then decided to start over again. Using TWRP, I wiped the relevant folders, then re installed cm-12.1-20150505-UNOFFICIAL-p5210.zip again. When I rebooted into the sytem, there were minimal icons, but no play store and a browser that was locked to a particular website which it couldn't load.
WiFi was working ok now, so I then installed the open_gapps-arm-5.1-mini-20160203. I then rebooted into system and google maps wasn't working, and I had the exclamation mark back again on my wifi connection. I did try the stock version of open_gapps, but there were no google keyboard, no maps and no text to speach.
I had an idea of installing the firefox apk file but it wouldn't work giving and error: 'firefox won't run on this device (x86, 22)'
There is also no internet wifi connection when just install the bare bones OS. It's there at the first boot, but on a subseqent boot there is no internet

Update: I was checking some settings in my router and found that my GT-P5210 tablet was blocked in the MAC filter list. I removed it from the list and now it can connect to the net.
I installed this : cm-12.1-20150505-UNOFFICIAL-p5210.zip
then this: open_gapps-x86-5.1-micro-20160528.zip from here: http://opengapps.org/
The tablet runs fairly well except sometimes it is unresponsive, but that is something else to look at.

SOLVED-Pandora-http error occurred code: 417 startupAsyncTask

Boots to Pandora splash screen with the following message
Pandora http error occurred code: 417 startupAsyncTask
Worked prior to 2.2
Running 2.2 OTA with PRI 1.34-rooted then installed RUU trying to restore PRI to 1.4
Tried uninstalling, reinstalling
Clearing Data and Cache
Any ideas?
SOLVED-8/14/10
So after trying many, many things including several uninstall/reinstall deleting cache and data in the Pandora app and many ##786# while trying to get to 1.4 wiping the user data I got it.
The solution was to boot into recovery and clear the cache here. My guess is that some trace of Pandora was still left and was screwing things up.
For those that don't know how to do this:
1. Unit off hold down the volume up and power button at the same time.
2. This will boot the android on skateboard screen
3. With Bootloader highlighted -the default setting-hit the power button
4. Give it a second and it will HBOOT
5. Use the volume down button to navigate and highlight recovery and hit the power button.
6. If you get the red exclamation in the triangle as I did hold down volume up for a couple seconds and hit the power button while continuing to hold the volume up
7. You will now be in the recovery mode, navigate down to wipe cache partition and hit the power button
8. Reboot and you should be good.

sorry, confused. What rom are you currently running? Are you doing anything funky, like installing the app on the sdcard?
Thanks for the prompt reply.
Installing Pandora from the marketplace
I was running rooted ota 2.2 and had this issue.
Used the recovery utility and wiped and reinstalled stock 2.2 hoping the pri would update to 1.4 and am still having this issue.
Really strange.
I'm getting this error after switching to midNight ROM with EXT4 file system. Clearing the cache does not help. Uninstalled, reinstalled. Uninstalled, cleared cache, reinstalled.
The weird thing is that it worked one time right after flashing the updated ROM and then the next (and every time after) I get this error.
I am getting this error 417 on my Archos 101 android tablet running Froyo.
The thing is, I installed Pandora on my Dads tablet, he got the same error. However, after he went home, he called to report that it is working.
My suspect:
Something in the port forwarding or firewall (I'm using Smoothwall Express 3.0).
I'd love to hear anyone's input and things to try.
I havent tried my Pandora install on another network other than my home. That would tell me if it's related to my network, but I don't know how to troubleshoot beyond that.
Thanks for any help or responses.
I got the Tablet this morning, and was very happy that it arrived so quickly. However, it seems that there is a several bugs in the system that I don’t know what to do about it.
Yahoo messenger will install, allow you to enter your log in information, but will get stuck on yahoo screen with the smiley face, and “loading contact list.” but will NOT load in. Skype and Nimbuzz works fine BTW.
Pandora Radio will not load at all, and will give several error messages. Boots to Pandora splash screen with the following message Pandora http error occurred code: 417 startupAsyncTask
Sling Media player will log in but won’t load the video.
Since I’m deployed in Iraq, it would be much easier to try to fix the problem before thinking of returning the tablet, so, I used Rom Manager, and tried clearing the cached data associated with it. Restored to factory setting. Then I got in contact with Yahoo who after 2 hours of tech support cannot tell me why this is happening. Pandora referred me to Samsung, and Sling Media don't offer support for the tablet, they only offer support to their software. I really don’t have the time and tools to chase tech support from here. Can someone HELP PLEASE?
REALLY SOLVED-Pandora-http error occurred code: 417 startupAsyncTask
After months and months of trying to resolve this issue on my Samsung Vibrant phone, I discovered the true cause of the problem in my case, and it wasn't the phone at all.
It was due to my transparent proxy server.
I use Smoothwall Express 3.0 for my firewall and utilized the built in transparent proxy services. Whenever I used the Cellular network, Pandora would work just fine. However, whenever I used the WiFi network (With transparent proxy services) I would get the "Pandora-http error occurred code: 417 startupAsyncTask"
Since most Cellular networks don't use proxy servers, if you find Pandora works with no issues with WiFi disabled, then consider that the problem is with the network the WiFi is connected to and not the phone. Most likely there is a transparent proxy server in operation somewhere between you and the Pandora servers.
I believe that you are correct because I'm also running Smoothwall express. Perhaps I can figure out how to get the traffic to bypass through. I'll report back if successful!
Awesome find!

Chrome to Phone doesn't work

Hey guys!
So as the topic says Chrome to Phone doesn't work for me.
Everything is fine on the initial setup, but when I try to send a link or whatever I get the "Sent to phone" message... and nothing happens.
Specs in signature.
same for me...works with another gmail account on my phone but not my main one.
Nobody seems to know a fix so ive sacked it off now and use LinkPush instead.
I had a similar issue with it a week or two back. I just removed it all, clean boots each time and reinstalled it manually from the APK rather than the market. Didn't open it, rebooted and then proceeded with the setup after being logged in on the PC. Oddly, it works fine ever since.
-----------------------------------
- Sent via my HTC Desire -
I had the issue after flashing, wiping or other various changes.
I just cleanly remove it then I get it back from the market.
First, get the chrome extension connected then open your mobile Chrome-to-phone app and login with it.
That made it work for me
i've never had a problem with it - works fine for me - have it signed in at work and a home too
you need to go to chrome to phone - settings -disconnect phone and then follow steps to reconnect

[Q] Couldn't connect to the server

I keep getting "No Connection Couldn't connect to the server" when I try and launch Google + when I hit okay it ask me to choose an account when I choose my Google account it takes me back to the"No Connection Couldn't connect to the server" all of my other Google apps with the same account work. I have removed and re-installed the app from the market as well as rebooted several times. I just moved from an Iphone to the Android os and have rooted the phone and have become addicted to trying out different settings so I'm sure its something I did but I cant seem to pin point it, any ideas?

[Q] Resetting a rooted Galaxy Nexus to Factory Settings

I decided to reset my Galaxy Nexus (GSM, I think!) to it's factory settings, I should also mention that I have used Wugfresh's toolkit to flash Android 4.2.2 to replace its stock image that the phone came with, I flashed it to Yakju because it took a lot of time for an OTA update, I couldn't wait that long so I flashed it!
So my phone's bootloader is unlocked and it's rooted, all using Wugfresh's toolkit.
SuperSU is installed. Busy Box was installed before resetting.
So I reset the phone to its factory settings, and then when it boots back up it asks for your google account, that's where the problem is.
It takes a lot of time to connect to my WiFi network, and when it tries to connect to my Google account it says that it can't establish a reliable connection to the server.
And the WiFi Icon on the status bar is grey, as if their is no internet connection, although if I open the browser it works just fine, and also the laptop is connected to the same network and is working fine.
Please help, I'm in Pain!
IT WORKED PEOPLE IT WORKED
I'm probably the happiest guy on earth!
here is what I have done:
You must be rooted!
1-DownloadTotal Commander and installed it
2-go to /etc/hosts, click on it and choose Edit file.
3-I had two lines
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.55.56.83 android.clients.google.com mtalk.google.com
I just added a # at the beginning of the second line to make it
#127.55.56.83 blah blah
saved the file, and rebooted my device and tried adding the google account. I don't know if it made any difference but I had my SIM card removed the whole time.
here is the original thread:

Help! Google play error 495 curse

Hey guys just fot this tablet Monday, unrooted fresh out the box, it will download apps for a bit them get hung up and stop downloading and eventually show this error. Ive googled it and tried all the tricks that include clearing data im gp app/gp services/ framework. Unlinked my google account, rebooted etc.
2 strange things i noticed.
- my htc m8 on the same nerwork has never had these issues
-I haven't had this happen at my work network
I returned my tab S from Monday, now the new one does it too. I have a brand new Asus RT-AC68U beast of a wifi router. It briefly downloaded some apps once i took down the firewall, then errored out again...
I dunno what else to do i want to keep this tablet I hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance!
perhaps this workaround can help you:
on your pc you can install the chrome browser extension APK Downloader , then when you go to play store, you have an extra button download apk next to the app (all on pc in chrome browser) , once you downloaded the apk you can copy it to the tablet and install it.
Make sure that once you have copied the apk to your device you have enabled "unknown sources" in the settings or else it won't allow you to manually install an apk.
Whenever I have encountered an issue like this in the past I have Odin flashed the device to the latest stock firmware and then during the set up process, made sure that every minute detail entered is correct (or bypass google account installation and wifi connection and install them after the device start up).
Hmm thanks for the suggestions guys. Come to find out my m8 has this issue now so it must be router related somehow...
I too took down firewall of router, saved new settings, rebooted router, turned router off for 5 mins, turned it back on. Restarted lg g3 and then it worked for me. No more Error 495!
