I have a strange problem with web browsing on an HTC Hero connecting to the Rogers network in Canada.
When the data connection is not active, the icon on my Hero shows "3G". When it is used, it turns to "H".
When email or other programs access data, it switches immediately and I have no connection problem.
However, when web browsing, the connection frequently (but not always) times out, and the 3G symbol remains. I can always get it to work by switching to email and initiating a sync, which is annoying to do.
Has anyone experienced this? Is there a reason that the browser would have trouble with the connection, but other applications wouldn't?
I am on bionix 1.3.1 and have noticed that whenever I turn my wifi on it seems to not allow me data access. My web browser will not connect to a page, market won't load, and any downloads that were in progress will fail. it's as if turning on the wifi is overriding my data connection and blocking it. It says that it's connected in the menu though. Any advice?
Thanks
Edit: I just noticed when looking at my phone stats, that when I turn on my wifi my mobile network state says disconnected, and it connects again when wifi is turned off.
Also, I have an airport extreme and a mac, perhaps that is my problem. I've scoured the internet and found a bunch of info about this problem, but haven't found anything that works yet.

Im sure someone will correct me if Im wrong but if you switch from wifi to 3g while downloading the download usually will fail because you were using only wifi to download the content and when that turned off it doesn't just switch to using 3g you have to manually retry the download using 3g .... when wifi and 3g are on wifi doesn't speed up the 3g instead it does the internet related work and the 3g does the text and phone call related work
that makes sense, thanks. as for the connection problem, it is definitely mac related. my wifi seems to work on other networks. I just need to figure out how to make it work with the airport. It's just weird to me that it says it's connected and shows signal bars, but won't access the internet.

so is the new problem that the airport extreme won't give wifi to your phone or that its not working at all
According to my phone I am connected via wifi to my network from the airport, however, the phone cannot access any internet functions when connected. When I disable wifi, it works fine with 3g or edge. It seems to be something with the settings on my airport, not the phone itself.

That's surprising maybe this means apple products are biased
Hi I recently went to bangladesh for a holiday. I noticed that the apps can't connect to the internet. Apart from the internet apps e.g. opera, dolphin web browser these can connect to the internet. I had no issue with this when I was in the uk. I was wondering if it could be because since there is no 3g network in bangladesh my phone is using 2g network connection - edge connection. Could it be because of that? Also when I was in the UK my phone use to have HSDPA connection and all the apps work when it is connected via wifi.
Hmm strange issue.. Are you using stock SE rom? Are you sure that there is no 3g connection or maybe you disabled it?
I think its your.carrier, theres no way to prove it but who knows

If your phone is on roam, it won't connect unless you go into data settings and allow it to.
I have this problem to, and i have 3g connection but apps cant connect to the internet.
Enable internet while roaming. If problem persists then the carrier dosent support it.

Thank you
Strange thing started to happen few days ago: I don't have internet while being connected over mobile network but have it over wifi. This started out of the blue...
I have unlimited internet via mobile network contracted with my mobile provider so it's not like I've used all of my mobile internet or something. I'm also connected to mobile network as it shows "4G" icon beside my network strength level bar so everything should work except when I try use any internet based app like Chrome or Whatsap, they doesn't work. Chrome gives me "This site can't be reached" problem...
I have Samsung S6 with latest original stock rom (Nougat)
Any idea how can I test where is the problem with mobile internet connection?
EDIT:
It seams that I've fixed it by changing to 3G network and tested and it worked, then I've turned it back to LTE and it worked so now everything works.
Strange... never experienced before that some part of OS stops working and needs restart
