Hi All

I am new to this forum and to Android, I have read about all the problems with the market and flash etc. I have rooted my device thanks to the guide on here and try clockwork but screwed that up :( hopefully get a stock img back on there with the help of others :).

My Question is this do you find that sometimes you can't browse the internet at all on the device as it seem to have lost network connection even tho it is connected. I have try even going in to applanet etc at the time and they don't connect I have disconnected and reconnected the wifi and that doesn't sort it either but after a couple of restarts on the device it works again. Also for some reason it asked me to setup my gmail account and when i do a search it finds "market" could this be the cause or ?

Thanks guys :)

Yea you need your gmail account connected for the market to work.

More than likely will cause other issues without it setup as Google make android revolve around your account

Try setting a static IP for your scroll

i had the same prob when i first got my scroll would sometimes drop wifi or not see it i fixed by changing the channel of the router (mine is a netgear) was on channel 13 set it to chanel 10 an the scroll was fine but my laptop could not then see the network set to channel 6 and now all my devices work ok
probably have to google on how to change router settings for your device(isp) hope this helps
