I have tryed 2 different routers @ work and home

Could be that your 3G is using background data, so it has no bandwidth left for other downloads.
Disable your Background data : Settings -> Accounts and sync -> Turn off Background Data and Auto-Sync
Can you browse the web on 3G ? What about using another gmail account ?

i can use Android Market in both 3G and WiFi
are you able to browse the web when only using WiFi ?

Wifi router firewall??? Disable and problem solved lool

Maybe ur over the download limit. Some providers have limits to how much you can download. So i think you should check ur provider

Im with optus in australia got a 2gig limit still got plenty left. The strange thing is i can still download through android browser. I think i mite have to do a factory reset but trying to think of ways around it koz just got the fone how i like it lol

You could try settings/applications/manage/download manager and delete data that has worked for some people but not 4 me lol. i think it has something to do with settings that go messed up by an app

I'm having the same problem, and so it seems a lot of other Android Optus users. Here's a whirlpool thread:

Thank goodness I found this thread!! I've been going completely mad for a couple of days. I've re-flashed the damned phone 100 times, formatted the SD, repartitioned, cleared the cache, I've tried another google account etc etc. I'm with Optus too and it started happening when my JPC firmware started acting up yesterday. I decided to try JPH and I couldn't download any APPs. Currently I'm not near my WIFI so I'm not sure if that works but I'll check it out soon.
I even went all the way back to the Optus branded firmware JG4 to see if that works and that was dead too.
If it's some kind of Optus thing, I'm OK knowing it's not something with my phone. Hopefully they will fix it soon.

This is fk. Had same problem with Optus. Tried everything with no luck. Gonna ring Optus today.

I certainly hope you didn't disable the entire firewall, instead merely opened up the specific port(s) required by the market?
If the latter, could you share the port numbers, please? Thx!

It is possible, but why would you do such a thing?
You are already connected to the internet using wifi? What does the proxy accomplish for you?

Well my school blocks apps and some websites so the proxy would bypass it

It depends how they block it. A vpn would be better for what you are trying to do. If your urls are in cleartext and they use a commercial filter that uses pattern matching, it wont work.

No harm in trying, how would i set up a vpn

Its a bit beyond the scope of this forum, but you can usually set it up right from your router if it is modern or high end.
Otherwise you will need a server. windows and linux can do this. You are are probably looking to build an ipsec vpn. Just google it. It can be tricky. On the milestone side, you need a rom that supports a tunneling kernel module (older ROMs mostly). This is usually called tun0.

ive been trying to get it to work for hours, setting up a private vpn on windows 7, looking for free vpn services, this is rather difficult

Xoom VPN client?

Looking to use vpn on the xoom to get into my corporate account.
I just got the 3g xoom yesterday so I haven't really looked to see if there is something already in the OS, but any help to get pointed into the right direction would be awesome.
Thanks!

The xoom has built in VPN, just go to Settings > Wireless > VPN
It supports PPTP, L2TP, L2TP/IPsec PSK and L2TP/IPsec CRT

Hi,
My firm is usimg a Cisco VPN,
is it also working with it? Which one should I use?
Isthere a third part client working with Xoom and Cisco?
Cisco offers one in the market, but its needs some certificate depositated by myfirm on a Cisco server which is not possible .
Any idea??
Thanx

Thank you wolfcry....

[Q] WiFi direct

How do you transfer files using WiFi direct? It's failing when I'm sending files from s3 to TX
Sent from my LT29i using Tapatalk 2

have you tried NFC and turning on android beam?????? this should fix your issue

Android beam is sending thru bluetooth, not WiFi Direct

Not working
I have tried almost every possible way to use Wi-Fi direct on my Xperia TX but in vain.
The hardware is indeed included in the phone but I wonder if there is software back up for the same.
Generally whenever you click on wifi Direct option, there are functions to rename your wi-fi direct device name and few others. All of them are missing with Xperia.
I have tried using the feature in sync with Samsung Galaxy S II, LG L9 and Bravia Tablet. All I can see is that connection is established between the two units but send / receive doesn't work.
It feels irritating to see that a flagship product of a company like Sony has these glitches. In addition, there is no available support on this issue on Sony website neither anywhere on web.
I wish that some senior here helps us resolve this topic.
Thanks & regards,

ICS or JB?
In my ICS version, i can't see any options when I check 'Wifi direct'.

I read sony forum, sony's system UI doesnt provide sending/receiving file via wifi-direct.
U have to use apps which can send via wifi direct.

What are these apps?

WiFi direct isn't working on any of our custom Roms, as far as I know. However, a good substitute is Software Data Cable https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.damiapp.softdatacable, it works like WiFi direct. You'll need to install this on both devices, this app can also transfer files between your Android and PC.

i meant, how do you use it, is it by qr code or ip address?

FTP. It works similar to WiFi direct and Bluetooth. 1 device starts a share network using its own WiFi hotspot, the other picks up the hotspot and joins the network. Then you get a browser to share files at good speed.
This does not use your data. If you're worried about it, you can turn off your mobile network and try it.
