Yesterday, I successfully updated to android 2.1. I have confirmed that the APN information is correct and that there is sufficient network coverage. I have activated data in the settings - yet I cannot seem to get a data connection. Unless I activate WIFI, neither facebook nor mail will update, and I also cannot open websites in several browsers (opera, fennec, standard browser, dolphin).
I also don't get an icon for 3g or hsdpa connection.
Anyone having the same problem? Or even better... a solution?
Best,
-Mike

I would say it's your carriers networks are down. I had a similar problem but the 3G symbol was there and it just would download anything. I then disabled juice defender and it works perfectly.
If you are running the nordic kit this seems to be a fairly common problem. One of the guys over at phandroid fixed this by going to the SIM Toolkit and downloading settings, but I did not have this option. I was able to get it working temporarily by fiddling with the APN settings, but then like you it just failed to work any more.
I have flashed back to 1.6 and am now going to update with generic uk firmware.
So - I tried the Sony Ericsson option in the settings (topmost menu entry) to automatically download settings, I tried setting them manually, I tried auto-configuring via the apn-options... nothing worked...
then, suddenly, without having changed anything - I get a 3G signal. Seems to have sorted itself out for whatever reason. Will update in case anything changes.

Hey I'm new to android, just got a vibrant last week. Decided to unlock it as I travel a lot. The unlock worked, but now I'm having issues with my wifi. I can connect to a wireless network but I cant load pages. The wireless signal is strong and I tried with different routers, but still no luck. Looked through the forum and googled it but couldn't find a solution. If some one could please help with this, it would be much appreciated
try clearing your current wifi settings including remembered connections, passwords, and everything else...then re-scan for networks all over again, that's all I can think of for now
By that you mean just gong into settings->wireless and networks->wifi settings and then just forget the net work, rescan, and rejoin the network? If so, I did that but am still getting the same result. If you can think of anything else or if I didnt do what you suggested correctly please let me know. Thanks

yeah, thats what I meant :/....hmmm...sounds like your connection is working, can you download stuff from the market or is it just the browser? cause I unlocked mine too and wifi works fine
No I cant download anything from the market. I cant do anything that requires an internet connection, but it does show that I am connected to a network.

I sure hope so, thanks for your help
Have you been able to try another network? My first thought was it was in Ad-Hoc mode but I could be wrong. If nothing else restore to stock firmware and then try a different unlock.
Happened to me too. It would show the wifi icon on the notification bar but wouldn't load pages. I'd go to the settings and it'd say can't turn off wifi or can't turn on wifi. And when it was "on" I'd say connecting to modem then it'd just stop. When I was using the browser on wifi it would load a page even when I had full bars. I had to turn it off then back on to load another page. Is this similar to the problem your having?

I hope this doesn't sound stupid but yesterday I uninstalled Advanced Task Manager and poof my wifi started working again. The phone also seems to suffer from less occasional lag without it installed, but that's another story for another thread. Prior to this I had to manually turn my wifi connection off and on, but even that didn't always work. Since the uninstall I have not my wifi connection once. I am currently using the stock rom, rooted with minor adjustments here and there.
hi guys, i also have this problem.
i will be taking the phone in to the tmobile store on thursday.
it shows that i am connected via wifi; however, anything that requires an internet connection does not load.
very frustrating, since just yesterday i used the samsung kies software to tether a network for my laptop. i was testing the capability of the vibrant to act as a modem, and it worked just fine.
any help would be appreciated!
thank you
Charlie
connected but not connected
I also have this problem.
In my Vibrant shows that i connected, but i can not load pages. Someone
found any solution to this problem?
Hi all,
This is happening to me too. Rebooting seems to get Wifi working correctly again. But the problem comes back eventually.
Maybe a bug in the latest JI6 update?
Wi-fi problem.
Someone found any solution for this problem?
Froyo's update will fix this issue?
Thanks.
i hang on you **** iphone users they just bay for its cool smartphone **** iphone android is the king
Gents,
I have come accross the weirdest issue I have found on a phone. I have recently acquired an AT&T SGS II and I am using it in Argentina (rooted and unlocked) with Movistar (this is just FYI).
I am having a problem that is driving me nuts...there are times when I lose the ability to navigate the internet. Meaning I have internet connectivity, and can use other internet enabled apps (Market, Speedtest, Maps) but can't get any browser to respond (stock, Dolphin, Opera). This happens only on 3G data, wi-fi works well always.
I have narrowed the problem to the GPS. Whenever I use the GPS with Maps or GPS status, or anything that turns on the GPS, I can't use browsers anymore. I have to either restart or disable and re-enable packet data, this solves the problem until I use the GPS again...
I am running stock UCKH7 with the UCKH7 modem...the only thing I have done is rooted, unlocked the phone and added CWM..
Any ideas?

Sounds similar to the CM7 market data issues on the Infuse.
Does Movistar use a different APN for SUPL?

No, not really. I used to own a Captivate and hadn't seen the option to select a specific SUPL APN.
I have just tried using two different APNs (internet and SUPL) but that didn't work either...
Is there a better modem for your carrier/region?

I have tried KJ1, KJ2, KJ4, KH7 and KK6.
All present the same problem...
What is strange is that this happens only to internet browsing, all other internet enabled apps work without issues.

If your provider only uses a single APN, I don't know what is happening.
Dual APNs should be avoided unless you can't - mainly if your provider requires them. (like AT&T - one for most Internet stuff and one for SUPL and MMS)

Movistar uses two APNs, one for internet and the other for MMS. I don't think there is one for SUPL. I will double check.
Perhaps this will be solved in my next ROM update....who knows!
Hello everyone! I've encountered a substantial problem with my galaxy s2 and I would like your help, if possible.
This problem is related to the mobile network. Each time I try to connect to a website I get some kind of error, from 'Data connectivity problem' to 'Server failed to communicate' and even the traditional 'Web page not available'.
Note: There are a couple of websites that seem to work, such as: m.orange, m.facebook.com and m.yahoo.com.
At this point I would like to mention that Wi-Fi works as intended, with no problems whatsoever.
As for the mobile network, I believe I have the right settings resembled in the APN settings. Data connection is turned on, and I have tried both GSM and 3G. I have also tried different internet browsers, such as Opera, with the same result: only m.orange, m.facebook and m.yahoo seem to work.
It is quite frustrating at times not to have access to a mobile network. I would like to add that this problem remains to any apps that need a network connection in order to run. Therefore, I cannot run anything (Android Market, Google Maps, Youtube app, etc etc).
Thank you for your time. Please advise!
First of all, double check APN settings, see if your provider has an app in the market, or sometimes you can send an SMS and they'll sms you settings.
Secondly, try another modem, you may have a weak modem, before doing this download speedtest and check your connection speed and post that up. To see hows well it's connecting.
Thirdly, check your operators website to make sure they are not having network difficulties in your area.
Is their a setting that turns standard web pages off because that's what it looks like .
jje
Visit the webpage of your service provider. Usually on their support page you can have their data/mms settings sent to you by sms which then will be "auto-installed" on your phone. Good luck!

This is happening to me too; nice to know I'm not the only one although it seems to be a rare problem.
OTA update which seemed to run without a hitch, stock recovery, coming from rooted but otherwise stock honeycomb. I have voodoo OTA root keeper, which did it's job.
I'm fairly conservative with the tab, I've not changed any of the default settings since the OTA, I let all my apps redownload after the update and their data was still there; I have TiBU but didn't need to use it, definitely haven't restored any system data or aps.
My tab sees the sim card, I can send texts and get replies, it knows what network it's on, I get occasional notifications but can't actually connect to anything (have tried search, the browser, FB app, gmail app, news app, all time out).
The simm card works fine in my phone, the simm card from my phone which gives me mobile data on my phone doesn't on the tab.
Settings says there's no ip address available - I never checked before the update, don't know if this is normal.
I've not bothered much with customising the tab since I mostly use it for work, can anyone suggest where I might start trying to fix this?
eta:
I checked a number of threads about mobile data and honeycomb - to get to mobile network settings you go
settings > more > mobile network
I wasn't in flight mode, packet data was selected, network mode was on auto.
The fix turned out to be changing the apn - there are 6 offered, I worked my way down the list (I could have phoned and asked, but that usually means being on hold for 30 minutes first), most of them had no network at all, the default one had a network connection but no mobile data, one works properly
(my tab is on Optus, the correct apn turned out to be optus preconnect)
Hi there,
I'll explain what's wrong here, I have a Samsung S3 i9300 with Android 4.3.1 (SlimBean) and everything works fine. Only when I turn on WiFi (tried several), my internet acces is limited to the google site, and some apps like Facebook and Whatsapp. But when I try to navigate to other websites, I recieve a -Not found- error.
So it seems like technically everything is ok (otherwise I also couldn't open google in my browser). Other devices connected to the same network do not have this issue. I tried to change DNS settings (e.g. 8.8.8.8), but this is not possible in 4.3.1 as far as I can see.
Any suggestions are welcome!

Does it happen on a particular WiFi network or any WiFi?
Is your WiFi hidden?
You can try making Android forget this network & again manually setting it up.
You can also check for any App that may be restricting WiFi traffic
EDIT:
You can change WiFi network settings even in 4.4.2 KitKat
Long Press your Wifi -> Modify Network -> Check 'Show Advanced Options' -> Change IP Settings to 'Static'
Now all settings incl DNS will be visible & you can change them.
I tested several networks and they're not hidden.
I use DroidWall, but uninstalling this does not have an effect unfortunately. Also forgetting and reconnecting does not help.
[EDIT]
Thanks for the tip, however this also does not give me access to the rest of the world wide web..

Did try using some software such as Wifi Connection Fixer?
Also did you try using different browsers on your phone?
I was having such an issue with ebay.in on the stock browser my i9300. But the same thing loaded perfectly with Chrome.
Clearing the Data & Cache of the stock browser helped later on.
I will try the Wifi Fixer, thanks!
I tried two different browsers without luck, and it is a problem beyond the browser imo, because the Play Store also can not download apps when connected to WiFi. I can search for apps, but when I want to download them, it gives me a -no connection, retry-..

If nothing works, I guess you might have to reflash your ROM after clearing the whole data & cache.. :crying:
IMO, CM11 M2 (Android 4.4.2) is quite good, just flashed it on my S3..
Well, I now changed the DNS settings to the google DNS server (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) and rebooted the phone and this did the trick.
I don't really understand it, but I am glad I can use my phone without wiping it completely again!
