[Q] Help, (Galaxy R) Apps don't work with WiFi, but work fine on 3G/GPRS

---

Hello,

I was in a different city for a few days.

During the time, I used 3G / Edge for apps / mail.

When I got back, I realised that none of my apps were working with Wifi.

Market was showing "No Connection - Retry"

Mail app showed "connot connect to server"

Tapa talk showed "connection error"

Youtube showed "connection error"

And so on with some other apps (Tunein radio etc)

However, only Web Brower works fine with WiFi

Also, all apps work flawlessly with 3G.


I also noticed, that once I started a download using 3G, & switched to Wifi afterwards, the download completed perfectly with WiFi.

I have a Micromax A70 (Android 2.2.1) & a Galaxy Tab P1000 (android 2.2).
They work fine with the same WiFi connection, so I guess its not a WiFi/Router/ISP issue.

So can any one help with this issue ?

I searched several forums/googled, but got no definite solutions

I tried stopping & clearing cache /data of market app, as well as google framework, but this did not work.

Other Info:

My phone is rooted, CWM installed, using steps found in this forum.

Thanks!!

Use Static IP ?

Ace-ing all tests.

Hi,

1. How to use static IP?

2. Why is a static IP needed. I didn't need it until I left town. My other devices work fine without static IP. Also, I use my phone's Wifi in 4 different locations so a static IP may not be wise. Now it does not work with any Wifi location. Again I repeat Web browser works fine with WiFi.


Friends, please read the question completely, before replying ... no offence meant ... I appreciate your replies.


Thanks!

You could try reflashing the latest stock ROM available for your country, it is probably because of some software bug in the system/system app's settings.

Do update here on the progress.

Hello,

I am using the stock ROM that came with my phone.

I had rooted the phone as described earlier.

I had installed GO launcher.

Anyways I backed up all my apps n data and reinstalled the CWM backed up ROM.

Now all is well again.
I an sending this post from my phone using wifi.

Im still curious why this happened.

thanks!

Nice to know your R is working again.

It was probably a software bug which was removed when you restored from the backup.

I think you might have set up proxy

From the strange behavior, i can only think of one reason:

Since proxy works only for browsers on android and that too only for WIFI networks, I suppose that is the case. If accessing your wifi network requires a proxy, then you cannot do much about the problem AFAIK. Otherwise, you can go to wifi setting ->tap menu ->click Advanced and clear the proxy and the port.

I don't know much about wifi, but my R is fine now after reflashinb.

I'll keep this in mind should the problem re-occur!

Thanks.
