Android is a very convenient operating system that allows the user to install applications of various categories: from games to weather forecasts. For this purpose, the developers introduced a special service - play market. Without it, a smartphone connected to wifi turns into an almost useless device. But there are times when it happens. What to do in such situations? In this article we will answer this question.
First, let's look at the simple reasons, because they most often interfere with using the market via a Wi-Fi network. So let's get started:
- Unexpected glitches may occur in the Android system. This is the real scourge of this operating system.
Solution: Reboot your device and after that the problem will disappear.
- The time and date on your device are incorrectly set. When connecting to many services, including google play, the date and time are first checked. If they are incorrect, then connection to services does not occur.
Solution: Go to your phone settings and correct the date with time. It is advisable to use the network time zone.
- If your phone is connected to a Wi-Fi network, this does not mean that the Internet is working, because these are different processes.
Solution: Check the source of the wifi network. Go to the browser from your phone and follow any link; if you can do this, then the problem is not in the router.
- There are times when problems occur on Google's servers, but they are very rare.
Solution: Just wait.
- The Play Store may not work due to interference from a third-party application. This most often happens after uninstalling the Freedom app. Let us remind you that it is used to obtain ROOT rights.
Solution: Turn on this application again. Go to its settings and click on the “Stop” button.
Problems with the router
If the play market is waiting for a wifi network, then the problems may be in the router itself. Let's look at them:
- The phone is connected to Wi-Fi, but the Internet does not work. Try to go to any website from your phone, if you can do this, then the problem is not in the router.
- Is your internet speed good? Google play is a demanding application that contains quite a few images. If when you start it there is a white screen and a loading indicator for a long time, then the problem is in your Internet connection. Contact your provider to resolve this issue.
- The router has a function that prohibits a specific device from using the network. To solve this problem, go to the router settings. Find the list of banned mac addresses. If there are such addresses, compare them with your phone address. You can find it in the device settings, in the “About phone” item.
- Wrong Wi-Fi password. Check that the data entered in the wireless connection settings is correct.
- The router is not working properly. There are many reasons for this. You can solve them by simply restarting the device. In some cases, it is worth updating the router firmware.
There can be a great many problems with a router. If you can’t fix them yourself, then contact your provider for help.
Problems in the play market
As already mentioned, google play is a demanding application. Its work can be disrupted by a number of unfavorable factors. Let's try to find and fix them ourselves:
- There are cases when a specific account does not connect to the play market. Use another account to check this.
- Find out about possible updates for your device.
- If you made a backup of your device, then it's time to restore google play using them.
- If the previous point did not help, then restore the entire operating system.
- Go to settings and clear Google Play cache.
If the above tips do not help, then return your device to factory settings (all data, including photos and videos, will be deleted). Don't forget to back up your data.
Checking access settings
Connection to the play market may be disrupted due to incorrect access settings. Let's move on to them:
- Let's check Host first. To go to it, use the “Hosts Editor” program. Look for it on the Internet, not in the play store. We install ROOT rights using the “king root” application. Now let's move on to the file itself. Launch Hosts Editor and go to etc/hosts. Launch the file Host. We delete everything in it except the line “0.0.1 localhost”. Let's save it. Reboot the phone.
- If your phone connects to the play market via the mobile Internet, but does not do so via Wi-Fi, then check your proxy settings. Open your connection settings and find the proxy item. If anything is written there, feel free to delete it.
- Try turning on automatic DNS selection in your network settings.
All these problems arise due to accidental data changes or dubious programs. Always use antivirus on your device.
The process of downloading programs, books and games becomes much easier if you use the capabilities of the Play Market, which is available for users of smartphones running on the Android system. Internet access is required to open the resource. The simplest and most accessible way to connect is Wi-Fi.
Sometimes situations arise when the Play Market does not work via Wi-Fi. As a result, it becomes impossible to download the necessary information and programs, which causes a lot of inconvenience. Why does this happen and is it possible to solve the problem yourself, without involving specialists? This will be discussed in our article.
Disabling the proxy server
Then make sure that next to the line “ Advanced options”
" is checked, and proxy servers are disabled
(this is indicated by the inscription "No")
. If there is no negative word, this means that proxies are set, and you definitely need to disable them.
Are you sure you disabled proxy servers or were they not enabled, but the problem is not solved? Then move on to the next step.
