Running into a weird issue on my Nexus 6 (not rooted, VZW). When I am connected to my corporate WiFi, my Google accounts don't seem to receive new data. No Hangouts messages, no Gmail, nothing. If I do a manual refresh I can get data (so the connection itself is working), but that is the only way until I connect to another network (WiFi or LTE). My old phones did not have this issue, so I don't think the corporate network is blocking access. Anyone have any ideas?

The network may not be "blocking" access, but may be breaking it. You are talking about the push services not working, probably after some short amount of time. If the network is subject to heavy use or has a *poopy* router, it could be recycling persistent connections too soon.
I.e., there are a total of 65536 available ports available for each IP address. A significant portion of these are not available for use. Of the remaining, each inbound connection needs to be routed through some port. If the total number of connections exceeds the number of available ports, then you MUST recycle ports. An inbound port is required for EVERYTHING, including the response to an OUTBOUND HTTP request.

I heard somewhere that ATT uses a special proxy server in order to charge you for data usage. And by changing that server to a free proxy server (kproxy, proxy ip?) you can get free unlimited data usage....
Is this possible or a bunch or crock?
No one ?
I used to work for the company for a number of years. Complete crock
Nooooooooooooooooooo...
complete crock, even if you turn the proxy off it still charges you for data... i dont run the proxy and still show over 800meg transfer a month
If I were ti funnel the interent over MEdia net, would that count as data?
yea that would still count as data if you gonna use the internet thorugh medianet
But my MMS goes through medianet and it doesnt charge me for that?
Anything and everything that uses GPRS, EDGE, UMTS or HSDPA is data and you will get charged for it one way or the other, whether it's SMS, MMS or raw data (i.e. PIE or checking email). Even if you have an unlimited SMS, MMS or data package and you aren't being charged separately for it, they are still logging it. Look at your phone bill and you will see it (I know AT&T logs every SMS, MMS and every byte of data).
The ONLY way to bypass that is to use WiFi, and that only works with data, not SMS and MMS.
So, in short, it's a crock.
But its not using any of those, its using 3G via the MEdia Net proxy
HSDPA IS 3G. You are using data on the AT&T network.
No matter how much you argue with me, it won't change the fact that unless you use WiFi, data is being transmitted on the AT&T network and MMS/SMS will not work over WiFi.
im not sure why this is so hard to understand so let me try to lay this out before locking this thread...
If your phone uses any sort of data over cellular no matter how its connected to the network (GSM, 3G, HSPA, Edge, NOT including wifi) its tracked, it does not matter what server its connected through (media net, MY ISP, PDA Connect, etc), even if your phone was set to use a different proxy then the data still has to go through att before hitting the other proxy... If it can be tracked it can be billed, and ATT tracks EVERYTHING, SMS, MMS, PTT, Video share, browsing, etc....
ok first of all i did google this but didn't find anything specific
alright so under my "connections setting i have my "select automatic network" to MY ISP.....i thought that was enough to avoid data charges (since i only want to use wifi for internet browsing and emails...and i dont have a data plan).
So i was playing around with the email options and under the "server" settings i noticed the connection was set to Medianet....my heart came in my mouth since i've been going crazy with the e-mails thinking im connected to wifi I changed the connection to MY ISP and now i cant receive e-mails.....so right now im hoping i didn't get charged (somehow) or if i did.....what would be some good bs excuses to get it waived
so my query is..can i send/receive emails via wifi connection? If so, how do i set that up.....
Before i use to turn off "phone" and leave wifi on and i did receive emails with that setup.
so my 2nd qs is....does disabling phone disable medianet or mms capabilities ?
Disabling all Data services from isp
I'm right there with you. I do not want to get a data plan, as I only need internet every once and a while. I have enabled my wi-fi by doing this on my phone:
Start>Settings>Connections>Wi-Fi
then from there you can turn it on, find and join networks...
As to removing all access to your ISP, I am not sure. I keep trying but no matter what i do, every once and a while I notice the little "E" logo at the top symbolizing the EDGE network is being accessed. Which is not what I want. Anyone who can shed some light on disabling the data service from being accessed, it would be greatly appreciated.
hmm well I also do not use the 3G network. The best way I've found to do this is by using the Comm manager and going to the communications manager and disabling 3G and disabling Data Connection. Then if you keep wi-fi enabled it won't ever use the 3G network. If the ROM your using doesn't have a good comm manager then you can download one that has those controls because there are many on this website. Hope this helps,

i have issues sending e-mails from the built in client, it always tells me i dont have access or some crap which makes no sense since i can sign into my account and check my e-mail from my phone so i normally have to go to the website for my e-mail to send an e-mail which is a pain
Ok... I'm going nuts. I am trying to setup someones Hero on Sprint with a work Gmail account (not @Gmail, it is Gmail small business). I know she has a data connection because I can browse the internet but any time I try and add the Gmail account, it hangs for ~2 minutes and then says it can't add the account because I may have an inconsistent data connection. This occurs on CDMA, company WiFi or even when I'm broadcasting my MyTouch 4G's HSPA via WiFi and the Hero picks it up. The exact error is:
" Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server.
This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care"
Anyone have any ideas? I've reboot, cleared data on Gmail but can't think of anything else.
Greetings,
I am just curious if there is a method in Android to allow for a notification/alert/popup etc if when connected to WIFI, there is no actual internet connectivity?
Currently, if I am at work, connected to a WIFI point, and someone unplugs the internet input from the wireless router, but leaves the router on, the Galaxy Tab believes it is connected to WIFI. It retains full signal as it should, however, programs that rely on connectivity wont generally tell me they can not connect.
The connection doesnt fall over to mobile data, as it believes it is connected ok to WIFI.
I wont receive emails, instant messages etc until I realize what has happened and disable wifi.
I am hoping for a method, be it a setting, or a program, to show my a little indicator when connectivity fails? Perhaps the check can be done during one of the many account syncs, or even a manual setting / check-time etc.
Cheers
None of the market apps I have found do this.
Is this something more suited to the dev section or even apps? My hopes of a simple hidden setting seem to be fading.
Cheers
I can't get AirDroid to connect using ICS leak 213.
I can't even get my phone to respond to a ping from my laptop on the same network, though I can ping my laptop from my phone on the same network.
Any ideas?

It sounds more like a network/router issue than an AirDroid issue, it worked fine for me in .213 and .215 leaks.
Is your phone on a VPN connection? If yes, then it's possible that your phone has multiple IP addresses and AirDroid is showing one which is not accessible from your laptop.
Did you try both connection methods? Via the local IP and via the AirDroid.com wensite?
No VPN connection.
I tried both by local IP and web.airdroid.com, and checked that the local IP is correct from both About>Status and my router.
If I try to connect just through Chrome, I never get anything. If I try to connect by scanning the QR code through my phone, I can sometimes get it to connect initially and bring my to the AirDroid desktop, but I almost always can't access contacts, messages, etc.
I tried port forwarding 8888 for my local IP, but that didn't seem to make any difference.
The strange thing is that my Touchpad works fine with AirDroid. In the past, I've had some odd Wifi issues with both my Droid 4 and my Droid 3, e.g. adding an Exchange account won't complete setup if I'm using wifi on either of those phones (on GB and ICS), but it has worked fine on Android devices without cellular radios (my Touchpad and Archos 101).
It appears like it's a network/router issue, but at the same time appears like it's not.

There could be a clue right here. Do you have a mobile data subscription?
If yes, then perhaps there are some very small WiFi drops which cause Android to try to connect to mobile data instead of WiFi, and the time it spends without the local IP might just be enough to impact AirDroid performance.
You could try the following:
Put the phone in Airplane Mode to disable all wireless connections
Manually enable WiFi - this is possible without disabling Airplane Mode
Now you are on a pure WiFi connection, no mobile data or Bluetooth PAN to interfere. Does that improve AirDroid's behaviour?
Also, if you know how your router works, you can give the Droid 4 a fixed IP address to avoid the IP changing when there is any network hiccup. Most modern routers usually seem to remember which IP they assigned to a device via DHCP anyway (at least for a limited amount of time) but it's worth a shot.
No such luck with the Airplane Mode/Wifi. I outright turning the cell radio off with Phone Info too, still didn't work.
With DD-WRT, my router will keep IPs and MACs associated, so it's not that the IP is changing.
If I reboot the phone, it'll work a little bit initially but eventually stop working and I won't be able to ping it either.
