hi,
I am having samasung galaxy fit, android version 2.2.1

i am connected to the wifi, and the internet is working fine, no issues at all, i am able to send mails from gmail account and receiving mails also.

BUT when I try to login to gtalk, it gives me the error "Could not connect to server, will retry shortly". Also I am not able to download any thing from the market.

I have tried doing the factory reset several time, but of no use.

First of all, im not a galaxyfit user, But found an information on another forum that could help...

Step 1: In the android menu, go to the settings.
Step 2: Select applications.
Step 3: Load list by clicking 'Manage apps"
Step 4: Click on Google talk; Click clear data and Click ok to confirm.
Step 5: Under clear button, click clear cache.

This may not be a fix, but is worth a try. :) let know if it helps!

I am using Motorola Defy MB525. Connected to internet through Wifi. I could browse and see the mails from gmail and others, but when I try to download some application it stuck with "Starting Download". From a google site I found suggestion to restart gtalk. I subscribed to gtalk and try to connect but that also stuck with "Could not connect to server. Will retry".
I'm trying the same for several days. I cleared the gtalk and other caches as suggested , switched between 3G and 2G and did few factory resets etc, but no solution yet. :mad:

Has any body found a solution for this? Please help? I see from others that this doesn't work for internet connections other than Wifi also.
