I mention this recently in the 'cab' thread but I think it got lost in the rest of the discussions.
I have a SIM-free TP2 which I am using with a T-mobile UK SIM with web 'n' walk.
This has worked fine with Windows Mobile and even with the early Android versions. I downloaded apps from the Android market place without issue.
However, for the past couple of weeks I have not been able to download anything. I can still see all the apps in the market place but any downloads just stick saying "Starting download..."
GTalk doesn't connect either but I cannot remember if that ever worked.
So could it be that TMUK are blocking access somehow?
I know that when I almost bought a G1 from them they insisted that I upgraded to W'n'W plus and also I've never managed to find a GTalk client that works on WM but could they really be blocking non-official Android phones somehow? Or am I just being paranoid?.
R.
try disabling the proxy in connections
If you mean the proxy in the T-mobile APN then it is not set.
Also, I should have said that all the other communications stuff such as web browsing work fine.
R
I am having the same problem with the same phone and t-mobile, any ideas anyone?
Yup, me too. I think they must be blocking it. No idea why though .
Looks like it's not just us who are having the problem:

http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/discu...de9d6130126d76c1294007d16&messageit.offset=30
Looks like it's a t-mobile ****-up...

Good to know they're not "deliberately" blocking it at least
try market enabler maybe?

Doesn't make any difference for me. It seems to make Marketplace crash in fact.
did you fix it?

Market downloads still not working for me.
Waiting for WiFi...
R.
When i rang them, they said their content filter was stopping things like gtalk, android market and even youtube.
I got mine taken away although it didn't bother me before.
Same things happening now, Hopefully the 24 hours they say it takes to activate makes the marketplace work
Youtube works fine for me...
dbwun: What did you get taken way? I don't really understand what you mean.
R.
I took away the content filter tmobile puts on
For me, marketplace was working fine until a couple of weeks ago then it stopped.
What package do you have from T-mob? Web 'n' Walk or Web 'n' Walk plus?
I'm a little concerned that they may force an upgrade on me if I ring up and complain that my Android phone isn't working...
its just web n walk
i did read the posts on upgrading to plus, but unless i force them to give it to me for free theres little chance of me upgrading
Just installed the latest 0103 CAB and GTalk & Marketplace are both working...
Not sure if this is just coincidence or if something has changed...
Don't know if this: "New file system to match other handsets and avoid apps installing to system folder." would have any impact on the functionallity of gtalk or marketplace.
Anyway, both now work via 3G & WiFi.
R.
Thats wierd, same here.
Gtalk works and now marketplace.
Suppose thats great now.
A little off topic but have you tried using the starfield live wallpaper app.
I can download it, but I have no idea how to run it?
Just do a long-press on the home screen then choose Wallpapers then Live wallpapers then Starfield...
R.
Yup, all working here too. WiFi & 3G .
Can't wait for sound now and I'm all set for everyday use.
Update with fix [Thanks jayclapp!]
For anyone with this issue, go into your APN settings and remove anything in the "Proxy" field, right below "APN". Fixed the problem immediately for me + jayclapp!

Hi all,
Having an issue downloading anything from the android market on 3G. 3G works for everything else besides downloading from the market (browsing, email, sync, etc).
When I switch to wifi, I can download from the market perfectly fine.
I've tried a friends SIM with a different carrier, and it DOES work over 3G.
Logcat of the issue happening From what I can tell the error starts around line 50, but I included the full log in case it helps.
I'm not much of a developer so I'm just trying to determine why exactly it's happening, as Android simply spits out a pop-up with the useless message:
[App name here] could not be downloaded due to an error.
I have a friend on the same carrier with a Nexus S and she can download apps from the market fine. Haven't been able to test her SIM in my phone yet though.
I've found some others with a similar issue (although not restricted to only happening over 3G): http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=5a31588b6f655e89&hl=en
None of the solutions there helped though. I've cleared market data, wiped, factory reset, tried different roms, etc.
I'd really appreciate any help.
i'm having the same problem - using a galaxy nexus on tmobile. haven't had the change to try on wifi yet.

Glad I'm not the only one...
By searching pastebin, I've found a few others that pasted their logcats with the same issue, but I can't find wherever they posted it to see if a solution ever happened.
One solution I found was to delete / rename the .android_secure folder on the "SD" card, but I see that folder on my phone. I know dotfiles are hidden by default but I'm showing hidden files and I don't even see .android_secure from adb shell.
I'm on Mobilicity in Canada, which also uses AWS bands, not sure if that has anything to do with it.
I don't like bumping, but I still have this issue and was hoping someone could help out.
Sucks only being able to download apps over wifi.
I saw Josh Topolsky from The Verge has been complaining about this issue on twitter the last couple days.
www.twitter.com/joshuatopolsky
I've tried everything to fix it, tried different roms, kernels, wiping, factory reset, different SIM cards, nothing will fix it.
The 403 error indicates that it's Google's servers that are forbidding the connection...but I see no reason why they would, and it's not like I can change the IP address of what my phone is being assigned by the 3G towers.
Everthing was fine on stock untill i flashed revolution hd 1.3.1... I had the same problem with market but for some reason i enabled wifi and started downloading stuff from the market...then i turned it off and magic it worked thru att 3g...
I hope this temp solution might help you guys out or maybe it just worked for me
Ditto
I'm facing the same issue with a Galaxy Nexus (bought from Virgin) on Mobilicity in Toronto: market works on wifi, but not on 3g.
I'm having this problem too. With Orange in Spain.
But is not a constant problem. Sometimes works fine, and another ones not. When the error comes out I try again several times untill it works. If doesn't I whait to have Wifi.
But as I said it isn't always. But some type of bug is.
I got the Galaxy Nexus yesterday from Virgin Mobile and using it with my Telus SIM and Android Market downloads dont work using the mobile network but switch to wifi I can download from Market. I've tried everything you mentioned as well and still no luck.
I have noticed some delays in downloading but I am pretty sure it is becasue of the "little" 10 Billion Apps promotion thats causing the issues.. the market must be seeing a lot more traffic than it can cope with.. servers must be over loaded!
Try market at off peak times (worked for me)!
This theory syncs quite well with the 10 Billion Apps promotion.. just a thought!

Unfortunately that isn't the reason. It's definitely something more serious / buggy than simply too much traffic. It's been going on for almost 2 weeks now, well before that promotion even started.
Anyone feel like pulling a logcat and seeing if it matches up with mine? I'd suspect it does (403 Forbidden errors).
It basically boils down to Google's servers rejecting the connection for one reason or another. 403 error = The server is connectable, but knowingly refused the connection. It's something on Google's end, but I don't understand why certain devices are being rejected while others aren't.
Went to apn settings and removed the proxy and now i can download from market over celluar
Just wanted to confirm your fix worked for me jayclapp!
Updating the OP with the fix, in case anyone stumbles across the same issue.
Bumping up the thread but i believe it's for a good reason.
I had the same problem with I9100 after upgrading to ICS from GB. Talked to Google play support, their solutions weren't helpful (erasing cache and stuff) and they said it's a carrier problem. I used another SIM from the same carrier and it still wasn't working....
So.... Stumbled on this thread, erased the proxy and now it's working!!!
So, i'm bumping this thread so it will perhaps show up in google in a higher search position and to say thanks to the OP (besides the thanks button)
Odd problem; I can't log in through a machine that has googleapis (google, googletagservices, google-analytics, and a whole bunch of other privacy-leaking places) firewalled; I can log in through a VPN connection that bypasses the restricted firewall, though, so it isn't a username/password issue.
Is this new? I never had problems at work before, and I admit it's no big deal to use a VPN the rare times I'm going to post, but I'd still love to know if anyone else is seeing this...

Nothing should be blocking a login on the site, the only thing I've heard of not working is the search engine which also uses Google APIs. The login functionality is all internal to XDA so the only reason that wouldn't work is if you are inadvertently blocking those too. Whitelisting *.xda-developers.com usually fixes that.
I have lately been having real trouble with ad redirection on my cm13 android. where more often than not most websites redirect me to sites like oneclickads etc. I found disabling java in chrome stopped it, but at the expense of website functionality. However this is a persistent thorn in my side in Feedly also, and in that there is no option i can find to remedy the situation.
I have tried clearing of data and caches, virus scanners etc. Nothing seems to find anything. I've now done a total wipe and reinstall of cm13, not doing a restore and fresh installing everything and the problem swiftly came back. A friend is having the same issues on her non-rooted samsung S4 also. I am at a loss for what to do.
For months now i've had problems using xda. The loading would hang and wait. If I looked at the developer tools in chrome, I can clearly see that for some reason it was constantly pending loading at objects attached to hosts like this:
www1-lw.xda-cdn.com
www2-lw.xda-cdn.com
forum.xda-cdn.com
forum-lw-1.xda-cdn.com
forum-lw-2.xda-cdn.com
It was failing to load with Chrome on Android, Linux, and Windows. Firefox would load correctly. Interesting thing is that when I connect via a VPN and then test with Chrome it would load fine. I would say it is just my IP address and routing but this has been over a period of time when my ISP IP address has changed. I've verified that and it is still an issue. I have no other issues with any other site.
If there are details I can provide, let me know. If this is the wrong forum for a problem like this, let me know that too. I've gotten to the point that I block the listed cdn addresses in my hostfile so that they immediately fail and my pages load but obviously that rids me of images and other elements along with not letting you guys recoup cost for ADs.
There seems to be something with the CDNs XDA uses.

Connection is fine. Its a 100M UP/DOWN connection. No adblocking. Zero issues for anything else. I stream a lot of data from various sources. Im a very heavy user and never have any issues with any site but XDA. The fact that it works over the VPN is interesting since it would route it through a different path. The fact that it loads fine without the VPN connection in firefox only is also interesting. As I said, this has been going on for a long time. I'm quote sure it isn't my 'connection'. Of course it could be routing or a problem with the CDNs.
All other page elements load correctly except for all the CDN URLs according to the developer tools in Chrome. The problem is the page won't actually 'render' anything until the CDNs timeout.

i know ill probably get a talking to, but try an ad blocker. xda is chalk full of ads, very very many! that could have an affect. btw, i use adfree http://adfree.odiousapps.com/adfree.apk
It goes further. Even with an adblocker, the page doesn't load properly. Some of those CDNs load real elements. So even with ads being blocked, page would still not load.
Same here. Browser is irrelevant. "Waiting for www1-lw.xda-cdn.com..."

Are you using chrome 53? Upgrade to Chrome application and platforms with version 55, then try again.

My chrome will load slow/hang if i visit xda(open many tabs) with whitelisted adblock(ublock). When hang I can see under taskmanager the page consuming 1gig+ ram. Sites like gsmarena is fine whitelisted, no performance issues so maybe you can see what they're doing right.
I haven't been able to go to the main xda page for over a week now on Chrome, with or without adblock on, it loads in IE but who wants to use that?

I have the same issue. The issue is not present in Firefox. Difference ? MAYBE due to the limit of open connections pr host in google is lower than in Firefox.

Actually, disabling adblock plus helps.

The issue is also present on Firefox and is rather network related. I often have issues loading xda at home and it stucks at opening www1-lw.xda-cdn.com, but at work it works fine almost ach time. This is happening for at least half a year now and there are days (not often tho) where everything loads instantly.

You should disable add blocker.
Same issue, waiting for www1-lw.xda-cdn.com on XDA frontpage, been like this for around a year now. uBlock is disabled. To remedy this, I have to load the XDA Forums in another tab, refresh XDA Frontpage and it's all working good
Same here. I would logon to the site way more often if this dind't happen.
Same here, @theBIGone, I see you're in Amsterdam as well, maybe it's location based as well?
Netherlands here too. Exact same issue.
I was having terrible lockups whilst browsing XDA for ages, to the point that I thought xda was running one of these CoinMining scripts on users. I actually enabled adblockers and the issue totally vanished. Weird.
