[Q] Need Help, Connection Problem. - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have some problems with my Xperia Sp recently.
At the beginning, my phone failed to load the news-feed (in facebook app) and then I can't play any video posted on that app. The other apps still works well. Several weeks later, I noticed that when I started to browse (in chrome), Google frequently ask me to enter captcha. The next week it getting worse, when I try to search via google image, it never load completely. It look like the pict in attachment_1. Next, the other problem comes, I can't install or update apps from play store. It says "downloading" but no progress (attachment_2). Now, I can't access youtube at all and "some" sites that contain videos. It doesn't even load. I've restored my phone to factory default setting but nothing change.
I try to connect to a WiFi network and suddenly everything works well. So I thought the problem is with my network. Then I try to set my phone as portable WiFi hotspot and tell my friends to connect. All above problems come back again to my phone but everybody who connect to my WiFi hotspot can surf the internet very well.
Please tell me what I should do.....

Ok, I'm not sure, but I have an idea.
You got a Windows PC an the default Sony Android?
Go to PC Companion and search for the option "repair phone".
Then, Companion will download the rom from Sony servers and install it newly. This will erase absolutely everything on the phone. After this, any software error in the phone should be gone. Even if you catched a virus. If you catched one, it could survive a factory reset...
Try this before you try anything with flashtool (in case you read about it). Let's first try the easy options

[Q] Can not access android market on wifi I HAVE TRIED everything

OK. I see a lot of this, in a lot of threads. I have a bionic. This is actually the THIRD one I have had since I got it (now outside of my 14 days of course). The issue as brief as possible: all three phones i have rooted, ROM'd , factory reset, reinstalled stock ROM, re ROM'd , factory reset, etc.. OK now so you know. Wifi alone works well with browser. Sometimes (and I mean extremly rarely) I can get wifi to act with 3G IF I turn it on AFTER i'm in the market but then it is 'stuck on downloading'. I called verizon tech support three times: first two times they said that is normal as verizon network is secure and the droid market needs thats. Third time I was told it happens to 'some' bionic devices and is a known issue. WTF is the deal? I've tried FXR and I work in IT and even my open wireless connections from people I know do NOT WORK. Only works with 3G/4G on.
Really ? No one else ? i know that's not the case at all because the guy I work with was able to get to the market thru wifi just fine until last nite and today. It isn't just me
I am accessing the market on WiFi just fine. Though, to be honest, I rarely check, and I often install apps from https://market.android.com/ (I installed three from there yesterday while on WiFi - it worked just fine.)
The phone is two days old - never rooted.
Even weirder still...
see that's another werid thing. The times I try to go to market.android.com/rl] I get web page can't be displayed. anything with the words 'market' or 'android' give the page can't be displayed (over wifi). anything else at all on wifi internet wise works perfect.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the issue... but have you tried connecting to a different WiFi AP? It sounds to me like access to the market is being filtered. Can you get to market.android.com on your PC while it's connected to the same AP as your Bionic?

Plus one for this. It's the wifi not the Bionic.
Yeah I can get to the wifi on my laptop at both places and can get to market.android.com from both computers. somethng else funny I can't download from market.android.com on the pc to the phone with wifi on; it never downloads. I don't know what the hell the issue is but it's frustraing. i'm hearing another of my friends lost access to the market over wifi yesterday all of the sudden. It's got to be some sort of coding as the wifi does work, just not for the marketplace

Issues regarding YouTube

Okay so, to put it simply... I own an Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 which was rooted up until this day. At some time yesterday, YouTube randomly stopped having any connections to the internet.
At first, when you go to the application you can see videos, they load fine on the list as well as the names and thumbnails, but as soon as you click on them / search for videos / wait for 5 seconds you will get an error "Attention - There is no network connection right now. Please try again later."
I'm 100% positive that it's nothing with my net. Browser works fine, I don't use facebook so no idea if it works or not. I even stood right next to the router or modem, however you call it, with full signal and couldn't go to YouTube.
Now, I unrooted the phone. The issue is still there.
Restarting, pulling out battery, factory reset - Nothing worked.
I'm starting to go crazy with this.
No, youtube doesn't even work if I go the mobile site and try to run the video with the application.
No, it does not show up in "Manage applications" so I can't clear it.
Trust me I'd definetly want to go to Google Play and download a newer version, but considering Google says that Youtube isn't compatible with my device / or the actual INSTALL button on their page doesn't work on my phone.
Do help, I got nothing to do on the phone if there's no Youtube to watch videos or music.

The same thing happened to me yesterday with my Xperia x8 phone. I get the same message when I try to watch a youtube video. It was fine a couple of days ago!
If there's more people with the issue, I doubt it's a phone problem anymore. Youtube is most likely doing something then.. Either way, bump, in case someone knows how to fix this.
You might be right... Maybe they did some kind of update that caused this. Anyway, if I find a solution, I will post it here.
Try upgrading to froyo or gingerbread.It works fine on gingerbread.
I can't. My phone model is too high so I can't install 2.2 or higher.
I've been having this issue as well. There isn't anything wrong my connection, as I can load all the pages >.< I just wish someone had a solution. All I've found to do is clear the app data and that's done nothing...

You can (2.2-2.3). there are roms for locked bootloaders. You can consider that and see if it helps.
Also, update youtube if possible.

I can't. I don't recall finding one for 11W48.
You can't update Youtube further on Android 2.1 (aka above 2.20.16)

[Q] Can not stream apps over wifi at home

i have searched and read and searched some more and can not come up with anything.
here is my issue, i have a s4a, i have comcast modem with a netgear router, i have streamed pandora on this setup for at least a year or more, occasionally netflix and of course some youtube videos. a few weeks ago i signed up for hulu plus, got a chromecast and went to streaming video from my phone. i watched several shows through the chromcast from my phone as well as a movie on HBOgo. last week sometime something has happened and i can no longer stream anything on my phone, hulu, netflix, hbo, pandora, none of these work, i downloaded cartoon network and it works fine. if i disconnect from my wireless network i can stream all of them, as soon as i connect to wifi "unfortunatly (app) has stopped". i have reset my modem, router, wiped my phone, updated my phone to 4.3, re wiped the phone, and still nothing, as of this moment the only app that i have downloaded on my phone is pandora, and i can not stream when connected to wifi...
if i go anywhere else and connect to their wifi everything works fine... why did my phone all of a sudden stop streaming on my network only?
my wifes iphone works fine with all of the above and connected to the chromecast
any help would be great as i am ready to smash this phone

Nothing comes to mind that wouldn't have been solved by everything you've already done... Maybe you will have to buy a new modem?
Just another random thing that might work... try adding a different Google account to your S4A and downloading the streaming apps through that Google account and see if that solves the issue. I believe that specific Google accounts can be limited by developer's based on an auth code that I think is associated with your Google account. Idk why you might be limited, and it seems extremely coincidental that you would be limited by several different developers/provides at the same time, unless Google is for some reason responsible. Please note that I know little about this particular thing so it's a complete stab in the dark but it just might work.
not sure how or why this worked, but maybe it will help someone in the future.
i decided to scan my available wireless networks in range from my phone again.... (not because i was going to mooch from a neighbor ) and noticed that my neighbor had a network labeled "lastname" and "lastname guest".
that got me thinking and reading about my router, i found out that i could set up a "guest" network as well, set it up, connected my phone and only my phone and everything works again, i have no idea why or what happened but it works for now

[Q] Connected to WiFi network, but no internet connection [WebOS]

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).

[Q] Problem with wifi after lollipop update on Sprint HK M8

Hello,
My wife and I are both having similar issues with wifi after updating our phones to lillipop. We can connect to the wifi, but apps that require a login or apps that have an optional login are giving errors saying that there is no network (Network issues, no connection, etc.)
Apps that don't work with wifi: Bank apps, Amazon apps, Twitch, Feedly, Speedtest.net, etc.
Apps that do work on wifi: Chrome, YouTube, Drive, Mail apps, etc.
If we turn off the wifi, everything works fine. We both are running stock phones, I've got the HK M8, and she's got an older M7. There are times when a few of the apps will work for a few minutes, but then the issues come back. My wife's phone is also able to connect to our work wifi, when there, some of the apps that don't work at home will consistently work, but not all of them
We've both been told by HTC to do factory resets and to flash the latest stock RUU. The issue remains even after doing this. I don't really want to do the next step of sending in our phones for 7 to 10 days while they "repair" them.
I've tried everything I can think of. I've also factory reset our router and tried every wifi channel and/or security option, hoping that it is an issue with my wifi router.
Does anyone have any idea of what I can try before having to mail HTC my phone?
Thanks for any help.
Sounds exactly like the problem I had. Factory reseting the router took care of it for me though...

Hey there, i have been using an M8 for two months now and the problem that I have, which fits exactly the description of yours, is starting to annoying me. Every time I try to use these apps which need login I have to turn to mobile data to be able to do it. In my case, the issue that us affecting me the most, is with whatsapp, which even though I do can use, I cannot download media on wifi! (Neither pictures nor voice recordings).
It's a real pain in the neck to be doing this all the time, and I have two friends who also have m8s and are suffering from the same problems, so I guess it's something quite generic. Besides all the other android phones in my family work just fine with my router, so the problem is clearly mine. I think that HTC should have done something about it long time ago if it is such a common issue, considering that the price of the device is not cheap...
Anyway, my question is: have you been able to solve the problem? If you have, would you please take a min to share the solution? I would be deeply grateful!
Cheers and thanks in advance
I am using my HTC One M8 HK with lollipop update from the time they released and never had any problem with wifi. I use wifi wherever I go and no problem with anything. Try the following solutions:
1. Check the WiFi Router. Most of the times it is the problem with your router. Check if there is any restrictions or whitelist/blacklist of services.
2. You might be having some apps with whitelist/backlist running in the background. It could be your antivirus app, battery booster or Opera app, etc which does the wifi whitelist.
3. If you are using the sign-in wifi networks, make sure you signed in to the network using the browser window before opening the app.
4. If you are using the VPN (even in the wifi network) you won't be able to open the apps like Bank apps.
5. If the apps you installed are not supported in your country, you won't be able to access.
Try uninstalling and reinstalling the apps. Sometimes, when you upgrade to different OS partitions are not aligned properly. Reinstall and check.
Good luck
