xperia u: problem running android apps

[#1]

hey! guys  I am unable to run android apps on my xperia u but my browser is running perfectly.

On opening any App it shows "check your network settings".

plz guys tell me something about it.:-/

i also have the same problem bro.

i have bsnl 2g plan.

so its definitely not service providers fault.

maybe we have messed with some settings.

for others :

do we need to do any settings for downloading apps from market coz i was able to download a pdf from another webiste.

plz note that market detects our gmail account but cannot download the app.

do you have the correct APN settings, just google: APN android settings __name of your network___

also check the 3G coverage

i am having bsnl as my service provider too. i selected "bsnlnet" as my apn.

but my phone browser works only with the apn "bsnllive".

What apn you are using?????

is your browser working with apn as "bsnlnet"???

and regarding downloading the apps i don't know about the additional settings.

[xperiaU]

with bsnlnet - apps like toi, gmail, youtube, etc can use internet but not browser. after launching the market can browse all the apps & after saying install it gets stuck in downloading; same as what you said earlier.

with bsnllive - apps are unable to use internet. browser can use internet. but same thing as said before for market.

its a shame that i have to switch the apn everytime i have to use the browser coz i normally use the bsnlnet apn as specified by bsnl.

if you get the solution of downloading apps then plz let me know. :smileyinfo:

[xperiaU]

for internet access the apn is supposed to be bsnlnet.

bsnllive is for bsnl special services like buying songs, games, etc from bsnl.

i have 2g connection & not 3g.

but still i can use hspa connection which is fast.

the problem lies in downloading apps.

i have mentioned the details over here.

uliwooly what can you recommend?

[Kumar_GS]

You may try with "Setup guide" from apps menu list after deleting all APN. Setup guide downloaded the correct APN settings for me. I'm using Vodafone India Tamilnadu.

But i have no clear idea with BSNL.

[xperiaU]

it shows "CelloneEast" & "CelloneSouth" only; whereas i fall under "CelloneWest".

lol.

the settings for apn were sent to me by bsnl call centre so i doubt anything wrong in the apn settings.

hey i got the solution

just update "android market" to "paly store" (ALL IS SAME JUST THE NAME HAS BEEN CHANGED) and then try with the apn as "bsnlnet".

I did this but was not able to come out of the downloading problem:smileyconfused:

HANG ON!!!!!!!

BUT AFTER DOING A MASTER RESET THE PLAY STORE WORKED CORRECTLY AND I AM NOW ABLE TO DOWNLOAD APPs FROM PLAY STORE.......

BUT BEFORE DOING A RESET BACKUP YOUR  IMPORTANT DATA.

hope it works on your xperia also.

hey i have a few querries :

1. how did u update market to play store?

2. what do u mean by master reset? do u mean factory reset?

well actually i had google play store when i bought this phone. however i had to do factory reset to solve an issue. after that i have market on my phone & not play store.

android market will update to play store by itself, try browsing a little bit., downloading a few appshttp://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=190860
