Galaxy S2 Data connectivity problem - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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 .

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!

[Q] No Data Connection in 2.1

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.

[Q] "Web page not available"

I have a peculiar problem and i guess, from google search results, that many others have similar problem.
I am using Samsung Galaxy S 2 mobile phone.
Of late, the default Browser application on my samsung galaxy s2 just keeps coming up with the standard "Web page not available" page when I try to connect to any website.
I generally use default browser to access the web and this used to work perfectly. Of late it has developed this problem. I then tried Dolphine, Miren, Skyfire and this also did the same!
All other applications are fine and can connect to the internet perfectly well. Only In browser, which was downloaded prior to this problem, works fine.
So it seems like something is amiss with my settings / files that the default Browser, Dolphin and Skyfire use.
Any ideas?
You can also reach me on [email protected].
Hoping that someone here would be able to resolve this issue.

I had this problem. Browser worked fine on 3G and would not work on wi-fi even though all apps worked. I fixed this by deleting the Proxy setting - Wi-Fi settings > menu Advanced > Proxy and clear the field. Works OK now.
thanks for response, but it does not solve my problem.
i hope any senior member would come forward on this problem.
Hi, i got the same problem, is Access Point Names problem. Please go Settings->Wireless and network->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names->and choose the DIGI/CELCOM/MAXIS internet. * choose according what telco you using.
solved: use packet data
Hi- Samsung Galaxy S2 with same problem. Also could not attach pictures to text messages, and phone stuck on "downloading" a message of type "multimedia message notification"; both of which may be related issues?
This helped me: make sure "use packet data" is checked at:
settings\wireless and network\mobile networks
(It may have been cancelled by letting my battery die?)

[Q] Do you know a fix for "Web page not available"

I have two Photon phones and the same apps on both of them. On WiFi, the stock Browser will connect to the Web perfectly on both of them. However, on 3G or 4G, one works OK, while the other phone displays "Web Page not available". Same problem with Opera and Dolphin browsers.
1. Rebooting did not help.
2. Shutting down, removing the battery and restarting did not help.
3. Changing settings in Settings/Wireless & networks/Mobile networks/Network mode to Automatic, Sprint Only, or Any CDMA does not fix this problem.
4. Updating the PRL and Profile as well as Motorola Software doesn't help.
In the setting of the Browser Clearing all (history, cookies, cache etc) did not help. Of course, as this problem affects any browser, it may be some problem with a bad setting for a proxy or something related to a proxy. Please note that all app that use Internet like Market, Stocks, New York Times, FoxNews etc work perfectly on 3G/4G.
i had the same issue with mine the other day when I changed my homepage because of the error, I went to Google.com then settings and set homepage as current so there was no issue.

ICS and Openzone

Hi, I recently updated my phone to ICS and now I am having issues with BT Open one and Fon.
On this phone using GB I turned on my wifi, opened the browser (Dolphin HD) and it kicked me to the log in page whenever I was at work and it was fine. However now I don't get redirected. Instead I get 'webpage not available' in Dolphin, and a lengthy 'DNS lookup failed' message in Chrome. Stock browser is also displaying 'webpage not available'.
I am showing 3 or 4/4 bars on the wifi icon and in wireless settings it says BT Fon connected. But Openzone (which is the only other in range) does exactly the same thing.
I tried calling BT but they don't do tech support for specific devices. She did say, however, that the DNS needs to be set to automatic to redirect to the landing page. I'm not very good with networks and their features so I am stumped here.
I've tried to be as thorough as possible. Does anyone have any advice to point me in the right direction please?

[Q] Help. Problem with 3G Internet on Droid RAZR

Hello guys! I’ve got XT910 since December 2011, everything was OK, but few days ago something happened and my 3g Internet doesn’t work anymore. At first I thought that it problem with my cellular communication operator, but I checked my SIM-card on another phone and found that 3g Internet works properly. Another 2 reasons that makes me think that problem is in my phone, it’s:
First, I still have a symbol of 3G connection on top of display, and when I make request a page from browser the arrows on this symbol start highlight in both direction, but browser says “Web page not available”. And second, sometimes I use Orbot for anonymous browsing, and yesterday I found that Orbot can connect to server, I checked Orweb browser and I found that Internet works on it as before. I install Proxymator, and redirect all my internet traffic through Orbot, and all browsers and applications that require Internet connection start work properly. But I didn’t find the root cause why I couldn’t connect to 3g internet direct. Maybe somebody can help me? Sorry for my English.
Sounds like something is blocking it. Have you installed anything recently?
