Today for some reason I cannot connect to the Android Market. Tries to connect and then I get retry screen. Internet is working ok. I am on xron 2.9.1. Have already tried reboot. Anyone have suggestion?
Maybe your wifi timed out on you. Mine will do that and the wifi symbol will remaine blue.
The only way I know it's off is what you just explained happened to you happens.LOL
check your date and time as well. It will be blue when it's connected to the google services. I've noticed mine jumps back to 1970 every now and again. After I adjust it, it's all good.
I had similar issue this morning. It could be something to do with Market server

Hi all,
Here's a strange one for you, my data connection on my phone was working fine since I've got it (since launch) but all of a sudden, over the last few days, it now can't stay alive for over a couple of hours. To be more precise, it does stay connected, but looses the ability to do anything, for example, active sync sits there "waiting for network" and opera sits there "looking for host" and I can't view anything. It works fine before then, then just suddenly stops. Anyone got any suggestions on what this could be? It's really annoying because it means that my emails suddenly don't get sent through, and I never know when it's stopped working unless I manually check.
Regards,
DragonStar
I got the exact same problem, the only thing I didn't do so far is a hard reset...
The weird thing is that it DOES WORK for lets say the weather plugin in the today screen, but IE, opera, nothing else works
I'm having this same issue with panosha's v2 rom. Weather works ok, but nothing else. I really need it for activesync, and that just comes back and tells me I have permission issues, yet when I soft reset, it works just fine.
Sounds like activesync is the culprit here. Are you using activesync when the data quits working? cause i've had lots of issues with activesync screwing up my data connection.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360268
that is my response to how i get activesync to work and keep my computer connection separate from my phone's connection. If the problem described isn't the exact same thing i'm guessing that it something similar. i would suspect that somehow the settings in your network selection drop downs have been changed.
hope this will help in some way.
Hi all
My head's getting a bit sore from banging it against a brick wall while trying to sort my phone out, and I was hoping someone might be able to help me.
I did a ROM flash to Dutty's latest about 1 month ago, and all worked fine. At some point afterwards, I did *something* (possibly running the Connection Setup Wizard - don't ask!), and I lost the ability to get internet transfers over Orange (UK) - mail would just tell me it can't retrieve the messages (check the settings blah blah), and Opera just gave me a Network Error page.
Now, I've chatted with Orange lots, deleted all connection settings and played around with various settings and I'm pretty confident I have that right. On demand (i.e. starting mail or Opera), I can see the session establishment (i.e. the arrows moving over the G or 3G or H marker on the title bar), and the Data Connection indication is set in Comms Manager, but I still can't get transfers.
Note that I have since reflashed the same ROM a couple of times, and both times I have successfully had the internet working for up to about 2 or 3 days, then it goes again. When it does go, I get the Database Update Check appearing almost every time a session is established. I originally put the patch in place to stop this happening, but was worried that might be causing the networking problems so didn't since reflashing the rom this latest time.
WiFi works OK - I'm using a static IP address but I don't think this is causing a problem with GPRS/3G comms.
So, I'm thinking there might be some setting on the phone that I keep changing somehow (not intentionally) which is breaking the routing between Orange and Windows.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm losing it a bit here, as it used to work fine all the time and now it seems to just stop!
Cheers for any help

Soft Reset
Does a soft reset fix your problem?
I get this from time to time, i soft reset and all is ok again.
I also get orange safeguard on some sites every now and then even though its switched off.
Nope, once it's gone it's gone. Very strange. Still trying to figure this out, as it's driving me nuts!
Still, it's a good excuse to try out some different ROMs!

i had this a wile back and all of a sudden it just started working again
SOLUTION
If anyone's interested, I found a solution to this and I thought I'd share it.
The problem is due to an issue with 2.03 ROM as far as I can tell (I had Dutty's v4 on the phone) and static ip address on WiFi.
IF you use static ip over WiFi, then when you enter the ip address etc for the WiFi network adapter, it appears to try and use these settings on the GPRS connection too. This is why, when I spoke to Orange, as far as they were concerned everything was working OK.
So, the session establishes to Orange, then I request a page and it try's to use my DNS (192.168.1.1) to resolve the address - all goes wrong at that point. No web, no mail, nothing.
To solve, simply remove the settings from the WiFi adapter.
There may be a better solution to this, but I'm just happy I can have my phone back working again!!!

I have a PPTP account with HideIPVPN which works perfectly on my iPod Touch and on my XP computers. It does not work on my Motorola Milestone - the connection is "successful" but no data gets through. At some point on some build of Froyo (I can't remember which), I was quite successfully able to use this VPN on my Nexus One for long extended periods to listen to Pandora Radio.
Recently I tried CyanogenMod 6 RC3, and to my disappointment, I could connect to the VPN but not get any data to go through. So I restored to my nandroid backup on FRF91 (which I'd originally applied via the pre-rooted update.zip). I retried the VPN and it works but after 30-90 seconds the data cuts out and won't work anymore.
Has anyone here had consistent success with a PPTP VPN on FRF91 or CM6 RC3? If so, did you have to do anything special to make it work?
Thanks
Charles
The "cut out" might be related to WiFi keepalive bug. Keep the phone awake and see if the connection still cuts out.

The phone remains awake the whole time. I connect to the VPN and then immediately jump to browser. I load one page and it pulls down successfully. Then I keep clicking links; after the second or third one nothing works anymore, and no apps are able to see data until I disconnect the VPN. This is reproducible.
On my iPod Touch, the same procedure does not have any trouble - I can connect to the VPN and browse for hours.
I located the post on HowardForums where I reported my success with VPN + Pandora on Froyo. It was June 6th, and at that time the latest Froyo build was FRF50.
So I've taken a nandroid backup and I'm going to try a little experiment... roll back to FRF50 via pre-rooted update.zip and see if PPTP works on that build. Don't know if my phone will have a problem with rolling backwards but worst case I can just restore.
Rollback test #1: Didn't clear data/cache first time round. Same results as before, ability to browse cuts out within about 30 seconds of the VPN connection.
Test #2: Wiped cache/data to get a blank (but still rooted) FRF50. Same results again... first page or two I browse to will load but then nothing else will.
Could rooting the phone somehow have destroyed the ability to use a PPTP VPN? So strange, I just can't figure out why it worked in June and not anymore today.
Ah well, since I can't get it working on *any* build right now, might as well go back to CM6 and try out the new stable mod. And I'll keep hoping/wishing/etc for a solution to this problem. Any ideas are welcome.
Well this is interesting. I can't get the VPN to work from my home or office wifi (and it works on both with iPod Touch) - but - when I brought my N1 into a WIND Mobile store and tried their test SIM, I was able to connect to the VPN over 3G just perfectly. The connection didn't stall out and I was able to listen to Pandora through the tunnel. This was using CyanogenMod 6.
I wonder why it's not working on wifi?
Am I the only one who cares about this, or is nobody else experiencing the same bug?
Same problem on the Galaxy S. I think its an Android issue, rather than phone. I understand, though never tested, that it works when doing VPN to a linux box, but never to windows or something like a cisco appliance.
OpenVPN works, but takes a fair amount of messing about to get it working.
On CyanogenMod 6.1 / 6.1.1, I can sometimes stay connected now to a PPTP VPN for 5-15 minutes at a time over Wifi. Not sure when it changed.
I've tested this with a3.5, Xron and Miui and they all get this problem. Maybe installing certain apps trigger this to happen but wifi will eventually slow down when trying to connect to a signal and will be essentially non functional since the OS will basically freeze and then tell you to force close wifi and it requires a wipe and fresh install to fix.
Has anyone else run into this problem?
Check this and see if it helps you.

I don't think its the same issue. In those instances you can still try to change which wifi signal you want to connect to, I think it just loops from connecting and it would disconnect. I think this issue is common and dropped connections occur as well.
But I'm talking about a situation where if you even try to enter the wifi options it will force close.

Before I changed it, it would take forever to get it to release the connection. I just kept hitting "Wait" rather than "Force close" it would take several minutes but would eventually come up and allow me to Forget the network.
It sure sounds like the same, not saying it is, but very similar.
I experienced this problem for the first time yesterday in area where was about 20 WIFI networks. Never ever it happened in my house on A2. A3 A3.5 or XRON2.8
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13779-now-i-believe-that-there-is-wifi-problem/
I have the same issue today, Wifi setting is forced to close, and cannot connect to any Wifi signals. I think it's a bug and it related to the time or date. Because I didn't do anything and it just happened.
No new apps install, no setting changed, and the device was keep on, so it just happens.
Hope someone can find out where the problem is...so sad this happen on New Year's eve....
i have this problem also, the solution i found was letting the touchpad go dead and than begin to connect wifi again.
Similar wifi comments here: rebooting [or maybe toggling/other disconnect] with wifi on/remembered would get it into a state where it was scanning and connecting over and over without really ever working. this was only happening once it was 'remembered'. Going through the wifi settings to forget in this state involved hitting 'wait' a few times and then i'd reboot and readd. 1st wifi connect is always solid for me.
I've found: market.android.com/details?id=com.brilliapps.wifiandmorefixer
Does the same thing except it is one click. I rebooted after the first go, but now no longer. i run this and then readd wifi - all set.
Last night, I found my TouchPad sitting under a pile of papers in my office after a few months of wondering where it was and charged it on the dock. Before this long gap of not using it, it had been working perfectly fine - internet browsing, apps, etc... and the internet definitely worked.
After turning it on, it will connect to my WiFi network without a problem, but when I go to open up a web browser page, it says: "Error: No Internet connection." I also can't get it to load stories in the USA Today app and it won't check email in the email app.
I tried enabling/disabling Airplane Mode and then reset the WiFi settings (gave it a new IP address under the WiFi Preferences menu, like this HP forum post says to do), but it still doesn't want to let me go to websites or anything.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

As you say that you haven't used it for a while I'm wondering if you updated the root certificate.
If you didn't here are instructions on how to :

It won't even let me go into the App Catalog to download the update, actually. When I try to, it says: "You must connect to a network to use this application." After I click "Retry," there is a brief moment where it flashes a screen asking me what country I'm in before it goes right back to the screen telling me to connect to a network.
I don't think this is an issue with my router, since all of my family's phones (a Galaxy Nexus, a Galaxy S3, and two iPhones), two laptops, and a Kindle are all using the network with no problems at all. It seems to me like it must be an internal problem with the way my Touchpad is interacting with the network.
Thanks for the suggestion though! That could be another issue I'll have to fix too (since I don't remember downloading an update to fix that problem, which I hadn't heard about before, though I think I've probably used my Touchpad at some point since July 2013).
