The last it happened it turned out to be issue with the Market itself, but now no one is taking about it and I have not been able to get any updates or download anything from the Market for days.
I've tried every suggestion I came across to no avail; clearing cache, data in any app that seems to have anything to do with downloading from the Market, logging in/out/in to GTalk, downgrading the Market app to stock. Nothing works, and it all started happening out of the blue; no problem one day, and the next day the Market doesn't work no matter what.
I don't remember making any changes to the phone, it's been setup a while ago and running to my satisfaction, except for one thing; some days before the Market stopped working I started noticing that my battery wasn't holding up as well as it used to, but I don't know it this has anything to do with the matter at hand. I'm on a rooted 2.2.1 (mistakenly) released by US TMo with a Go Launcher EX.
So, is it me and my phone, or something outside of my doing. I would hate to do a factory reset, so would anyone have a better plan of action.
Thanks

Thanks, but no change.
I don't know how to say in English. In Chinese, in the settings that have a setting call 資料節省模式.If you tick it, you can't download anything in market.

I find the English name now.
It call data saver in the data manager.
Is this happening over wifi and 3G?
I've the same issue.
It comes out on wifi only.

In the American ROM there are three settings in the Data Manager under Data Delivery; Background Data, Data Roaming, and Data Enabled. I guess the closest would be the last one and it pertains to having data enabled over mobile network. All but the roaming were enabled.
@scrannel: It was happening in both, mobile and WiFi.
Thanks guys, frustrated, I ended up doing a factory reset and restore after all. Now my battery use is back to normal (i.e. excellent) too.
Drat, things (software settings) are fragile; falling apart under normal use.
I am experiencing the same problem. Tried a lot of methods like clearing cache and all but nothing worked.
Everytime I start a download it says 'downloading' for a few seconds and then says 'download paused' and remains there.
This issue is on wifi only, and happened out of the blue yesterday. On my 3g data connection the apps download just fine.
What can I do?
I am having the same problem with downloads from the market, but only on 3g. Everything is fine on WiFi. 99/100 times, an App will take forever to download on 3g, pausing 5-10x during the process. This has been going on since Friday I believe. I have switch roms, complete data wipe, formatted my memory card, deleted .android-secure on teh SD card, nothing helps.
I don't know if its the 3g network or what, but it's really starting to aggravate me
Settings -> Data manager -> Data Saver -> untick "Enable Data Saver" should do the trick
Data Saver off wouldn't help those of us who got "WiFi-exclusive" Market stucks.
Worse yet, sometimes at certain WiFi networks (for example those they give at Starbucks) it works just fine, stuff downloads in huge chunk (from waiting list). Then on other WiFi it wouldn't work.
I even tried it at home WiFi spot with all firewall offline, and still no cigars - "paused".
My market suddenly started working again, but now after a few days it says 'downloads paused' again..
What is happening!

i had the same problem with my stock 2.2.1 defy (but in my case the market got stuck on the old version and wouldnt even update itself). the only thing that helped was doing a factory reset from recovery, and now everything works fine. but afaik there's an app backup option (only in 2.2), so if you do a factory reset you can have most of your apps installed in a minute from backup. good luck!
downloading
Even i am having the same problem when ever it paused like that i will open android market and it will download automatically again try to do like that.

im still on android 2.1 no update yet
i have same problem since i downgrade from CM7 to Official froyo any solution ?
This has been going on for some time now. I cannot actually pinpoint when it happened. But whenever I am at work, I can connect to the network and it's grayed out. I can still browse and use some app but I don't get notifications from my apps and cannot use Google Talk, for example. That entire app is grayed out.
It's an 802.1x EAP - PEAP - MSCHAPV2.
Anyone got any ideas or tricks to fix this? It used to work before and it doesn't. I do not believe anything changed on our end. And I also cannot just restart the router at work. Thanks in advance.

Can you access gmail directly? Sounds like google services may be blocked by your network admin? Just a guess...
Im trying to understand what exactly is happening with you.
Are you getting a wifi signal and no notifications?
or are you not getting any wifi signal at all?
If you are getting a connection but notifications and google apps dont work, it could be that your work router those ports blocked or has a firewall infront of it.
If you are not getting any wifi signal at all, I would try and backup everything, and do a factory rest - update. basically a stock, unrooted wipe and reflash.
Don't know why our how to fix it. But I know that if your wifi is gray you still have data connection. And if it's blue your connected to Google services as well
Jellin' like a felon
Okay, thanks guys. The ports may be blocked. I get WiFi connection, but the indicator is grayed out. When that is so, I can still go into an app and use it with manual refreshes but I never get notifications automatically like I'm supposed to. They only start to pop in one I leave with and get back in the cellular network. And for an app like gtalk, I cannot use whatsoever as I'm signed out.

This happened to me before and basically it was how my IT guy setup our WiFi network in our office. I couldn't use any Google push services on my phone (gmail, gtalk, calender, etc...). Every thing would work fine when I was on data connection, but would stop on WiFi. I just stopped using my work WiFi when I was in the office. It definitely had something to do with the firewall/privileges of the WiFi network.

port blocked..
google push notification and so gtalk need ports like 5222,5223,5228
usually in a work wifi only port 80 (http traffic) and 443 (httpS traffic) are open

Yea... but I'm on one of these tiered data plans from Verizon where I hit at or near the cap every month. I'm trying to use free WiFi as much as possible lol

Do you have wifi set to turn off when the display turns off?
I came across this thread because I'm having the same problem with my GS3, the only thing that solved it was installing a WiFi manager app from the market.
Factory reset plus downgrading from 4.2.2 to 4.2.0 was the only thing that worked for me.
FIX FOR GREY WIFI/MOBILE DATA, and google account sync
HI THERE, sorry im new to e forum, anyways im using a SGS 3LTE with custom rom CM 10.2 android 4.3, CWM touch recovery. So many people are not able to connect to the play store and services over wifi, but only over mobile data. Another issue is that the cellular data and wifi tend to remain grey, unlike that of android 4.0 and back which remains blue. So to solve this heres what i did.
DID EVERY F**KING CRAP OUT THERE. DIDNT WORK.
What i did: use a file manager with root access, look for 'hosts' file in systempath 'system/etc/' and deleted it. So far so good, its permanently blue for both wifi and cellular data, and also i am able to access google apps and store without a hitch.
DO SHARE WITH ME UR FINDINGS/RESULTS AND SPREAD THE LOVE PEOPLE
On a side note: i used to flash and modify small roms for my old htc hd2, but the above fix was heard from a website from god knows where LOL, im singaporean, i speak singlish, and im proud of it so im not gonna apologise for the broken english
In case this helps anyone, the way I solved it at home with my Galaxy Nexus is by changing the setting of the router to Wireless G or N only. I have two routers, so I set one on 802.11g and the other on 802.11n only. By default my DLinks came with mixed wireless protocols. The problem with this is that it seems to confuse devices. That's why they also used to take long to connect to Wifi in general. Since I've made them only one standard now, they connect very quickly. Also, because I had mixed B, G and N on my best router, I never got to really use N. Turns out I had my authentication on WEP, and the only way you're getting N is by using WEP2 with AES.
Fix is here
Hello There, I tried to reset phone,clearing chache,Data but it wont work but now
I have a quick solution on this issue and grey wifi becomes blue in some minutes.
All you need is "Rooted Phone"
1.Install : Root Explorer
2. Grant SuperSU permission to Root Explorer
3. Mount Root Explorer into Read/Write (R/W).
4. Go To System > etc > locate "HOSTS" file in etc folder.
5. Edit Hosts file using root explorer
6. Insert the symbol # before the second set of IP address numbers then save the changes and exit.
7. Reboot your phone...
8. wifi icon will be blue as you start your phone back and some apps like Google play store,keep,etc will be start as normal.
Thanks.

Solution for all
Use Market Unlocker App for solution of this blue and grey wi fi problem
google it or search on black market
Just today, my rooted Galaxy S4 was working perfectly. At about 9 AM I downloaded Liveboot (same person who made SuperSU) After downloading and configuring it, I restarted my phone and it worked. Until... after I tried to turn my wifi on. This is where my problems started. I can't start my wifi... it just turns light yellow forever with the menu forever saying "Wifi turning on." I tried to reopen liveboot, to it forever displaying a "loading screen" for which I soon figured out why. In my root explorer, MANY system files are unopenable, stating they were last modified in 1970, some in 1969. This has caused it so all of my root access is gone. It's on the phone but the apps can't access it because the files can't be opened. They display no error message, when I try to open them nothing happens.
I have tried:
Taking battery out
Hard reboot
Restart
Deleting a wifi file in the data folder but I can't open the data folders
Reinstalling root
I do not want to do a factory reset as I believe it will not fix it as others with the wifi problem have said.
TL;DR I downloaded a boot app, wifi is broken and files are too.
I have never flashed and I'm unsure how to do it, I'm quite tech savy but I'm afraid to ruin my phone.

"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
it keeps telling me i have it, but can not activate it.
i just kdz-d back to stock rom. advanced calling is still not working.
update. after making several phone calls and restarting the phone a few times, the advanced calling came back on stock.
update 2. after making sure i had advanced calling on stock, rooted it with low effort root and the advanced calling stayed. it was the root img from this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/general/vs986-rooteddebloated-t3256814/page58.
i am going to try to flash the pure lg on top of it.
update 3. i did a dd of pure lg (low effort method) on top of the other rooted image and maintained advanced calling. it's a bit cumbersome, but the only way i could get it to work.
update 4. more problems. advanced calling is turned on but there is no data during the call. something is still screwed up.
update 5. flashed back to the previous rooted image, and i have data while calling as well as video. the problem is with the pure lg. also, lg backup didn't work on that.
Kdz back to stock (13b).
Set your phone up like usual.
Get advanced calling activated and make a test call to make sure it's working.
I install all of my apps and set everything up just like I want it.
Then extract your own system image, inject root, then flash the rooted system image. It should keep advanced calling functioning. Your using your own system.img not someone elses. That's why it works. Its worked for me and everyone I know that's tried it.
If you don't know how follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
Good luck.
I went to the Verizon site, removed advanced calling, waited a few minutes, then added it back again. It's been working for me ever since.

My old G4 bootlooped on me so I'm in process of setting up my new refurb. I believe LGDMSClient must not be blocked for you to enable hd voice. This will also enable ota's, but you should be able to disable it again right away.
That seemed to do the trick for me anyway. I was adding and removing hd voice on the website to no avail until I unblocked LGDMSClient, and then bang, the hd voice option was there.
I had Advanced Calling on my original rooted G4 but after it bootlooped, I couldn't figure out how to activate it on my replacement until today. I can confirm that what finally worked was going to the VZW website to deactivate AC, unfreeze System Updates (aka LGDMSClient), reboot, activate AC on my phone, reboot. I have the latest My VZW installed and RootCloaked.

I have a VZW LG G4 and had the same exact problem. After scouring the XDA forums for like ever, I also threw my arms up in the air admitting defeat. Not completely falling into submission, I decided to give it one more shot and called my wife. As I had her on the phone, I tinkered with the option button in the top right of the screen and noticed that the "Noise Suppression" box was checked. I unchecked it and BAM!!! All is well. That is what did it for me. I thought I'd share. Good Luck All.

That just seems like such a bizarre/obscure feature. Maybe noise suppression isn't 'available' in advanced calling, and that's why?
I'll give that a shot. I'm gonna put the G4 up onto 27c -- but I'm not sure if I can KDZ straight from 13b to 27c. I don't want to wipe everything out -- so I figured I'd try to find out the answer first.
I had the same issue. What worked for me was first make sure that you have advanced calling activated on your account. Then I kdz'd back to stock. I went through the normal setup. I verified that I still had advanced calling on my account. I went into settings and clicked on advanced settings and then clicked on activate and when it was greyed out I factory reset the phone. When I went through all the normal setup again advanced calling was working.
Just to preface, I feel really over my head with this stuff but I'll try to explain my phone as best I can.
I recently purchased an unlocked s7 Active to use on my T-mobile plan and it was working great. But i've noticed the icon for wifi calling is stuck in it's blue mode and the wifi calling tab in settings is greyed out so I can't click on it. I've tried starting it in safe mode but it didn't make a difference and I also tried a hard reset. Someone in passing told me I may need to flash my phone to fix this. Is that the case? If so, what do I need to do to do that?
Thanks in advance for your patience and help, like I said I'm not at all familiar with this stuff but I'll do my best to fix it!
Edit- after posting I also noticed that under my "software update" tab I have two options, I can click check for software update and then it says my software is up to date. the other button is "continue update" but it's greyed out. Does that mean something went wrong with the update? My phone says it's currently running on version 7.0 QK4(ATT)
The wifi calling is specifically for ATT, you most likely will not be able to use it if you're not on ATT.
