Hello guys
I'm on a travel (Spain right now) and I bought an Orange SIM to use internet here but I'm having some trouble...
Webpages are not loading on Chrome and on the built-in browser, but I can load them on Opera Mobile
I'm getting this error: "unable to connect to proxy server"
It's hapenning only when using mobile data, if I connect to a wifi network every browser works well
I've searched on google but all I can get is about Google Chrome for Desktops...
Any help on this?
CM9 RC2 here
Thanks
You need the correct APN for orange.
Settings, more.., mobile networks, access point names.

Thanks for answering!
But APN settings seems to be ok and since I can open any webpage on Opera, I don't think this is the problem.
Edit:
Also, some apps like facebook, foursquare and gmail doesn't get network connection, while whatsapp works fine :S
Edit2:
Solved
I had two APN configured, one was working and the other wasn't, so I deleted the broke one and now every app uses the right one

Hi Guys,
I need some help. I loaded the BB connect in my Fuze and started using it. Plus I had checked out another sim, mean for a BB. Now I had my Opera perfectly working with MSN or Yahoo taking me to the normal standard site without issues till date.
But based on this changes on the new sim (2nd sim inserted to test in the Fuze) due to the data connection it has the MSN was rendered by Opera was mobile version. I am not sure if this is he issue or the BB browser config is making this issue.
Now my Opera is rendering MSN mobile, Yahoo mobile but doesn't go to standard at all. I have a ATT PDA unlimted data plan and BB enterprise connect. Something went wrong, not sure if this can be in the phone or something idiotic at ATT proxy end. Other sites are seemingly ok, I checked twitter and google. Issue is the behavior is not totally dofferent for MSN. I cannot even see the videos etc now. Cleared Cache, cookies, history, disabled BB broswer settings, I mean anything I can think of.
THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY.
Any idea on how to help on this. I would like to know if this is Opera or ATT or MSN screwup. My hunch is OPERA picking up the link or the ATT proxy somehow storing some setting thats not recognizing my unlimited plan.
Seemingly iwth a HSDPA connection the download and the push email seems to be slow too. Even Opera is slow.
PLEASE PROVIDE INSIGHTS GURUS.
Thanks
The only thing I can think of, and it's simple, probably something you've checked, but the option "Mobile View" under Display in the settings would cause that.
My service providers are jerks. They put all sorts of filters on my internet connection. The only browser that works properly on my X10 is Dolphin Mini. Downloading apps from the market for the most part is extremely difficult. I was just wondering if there was a way to change the DNS, or use a proxy to bypass all this.
PS, the ISP in question is MTN Nigeria (7.2 Mbps HSDPA).
I tried using my friend's etisalat Nigeria SIM, and everything worked like a charm. And that was on EDGE.
Thanks.
If you are using the net to download apps. I suggest you download apps through wi-fi. Or when you need to surf the web.
3G etc, is for small uses.

Well if it's your service provider who blocks, you can't do anything on your phone.
Hi all, i've been having this problem with my Sony Ericson xperia Play.
My bills came in as a hefty $$ bomb. I do not have data plan, so all internet activities are charged at GPRS connection rate. I've had my mobile network switched off, so there's no possibility that applications would still connect to data? Or there is? i only use my phone for smsing and dealing calls.
I called my service provider up, and they told me that my phone's internet activity is active and running. have you guys ever encountered such problem? Could anyone please enlighten me?
Thanks in advance to all.
Usually there arent any problems like this for android. And just to
make sure, the box u checked off was in Settings>Wireless & Networks>
Mobile Networks>Data enabled right?
Normally once you get a phone, the data will automatically on. So normally I will boot up without sim at first, then switch off data.
(I've unlimited plan btw)

You could always use an app that will not allow any apps to access the network. ie a firewall like (droid wall for rooted users). That would eliminate your problem. There are many apps out there which need permission to access the network, including the stock email, google maps, the market, and etc.
I'm of the same mind as the previous posters. But if you see data being used ie. the 3G symbol or whatever your data symbol is and it lights up or is present when the check mark on mobile data is off then it's not actually off. In other words if you don't see only the cell singal bars you could be using data. Hope that helps.
Edit: Also you said "SMSing" would that also include pictures or video in your defn of that? If so those are data. At least in the U.S. they are.
There is a program called APNdraoid or sg like that. this program modifies the apn settings and dont allow your phone to connect to mobile internet. btw you can manually change the apn settings from Settings->Wireless&Networks-> Mobile Networks->Access Point Names. all you have to do is to modify the settings (add some text to the end of the apn row)

To avoid data charges (and seems that you don't have a data plan), I would suggest delete all your APN settings under Access Point Name in Mobile network settings.
If the problem still occurs, you can call your operator to disable internet access from your mobile account.

Thanks for the suggestions ! i'd just go ahead and change the apn ! But i still can't find the root to the problem. It's like paying for something i had never used at all ..
Btw, I am curious that if you tried to load a webpage in your browser when mobile network is unticked? If you did, does it load?
I noticed that I don't receive emails on gmail while connected to 3G. Works fine on wifi. 3G also works fine (for example if i open the browser i can browse fine and even if I manually sync gmail i receive the emails) I just never get the notifications. This also seems to be the case with other apps like facebook.
Is there some setting somewhere I could be missing?
I have sync on for both google account and facebook.
any ideas?
is it possible this is operator dependent? I have a friend with Galaxy S2 and has the same issue.
(also can a moderator please move this topic to Q&A)
Could be APN related. I had to remove proxy yo get tapatalk to work amongst other things.
Do your APN use a proxy? Try remove proxy and proxy port. Write em down first, in case it doesn't help.

I checked, no proxies set - so thats not the case.
I did a factory reset,went through the setup process adding only samsung and google accounts. I tested it by sending an email to myself, while connected to wifi i got the notification instantly, I disconnected wifi and checked that i can access the web through the browser, then sent another email to myself and got no notification.
I read somewhere that the connection bars should be blue if there is a connection to google services. is this true for the s3 stock rom ?
ok i fixed the problem. for anyone else who might have the same issue in the future (i guess on any android ICS based phone) the problem is caused by incorrect APN settings, the default ones the operator shows on the phone were wrong, i simply had to add a new APN with APN Name: internet and no other settings (I assume this is operator dependent)
The APN should be stored on your SIM-card and can usally be requested through USSD-code to have a configuration SMS sent by your provider.
Alternatively you can just call them and request a configuration SMS.

Yes. However note that some providers are so sneaky (and/or lazy) as to have multiple access points which are billed differently. So check with your operator if that is actually the correct one, not that you are billed per Kilobyte and get the shocker of your life with the next bill.
Hello,
Today I flashed Omega rom for sgs 2 and internet problem poped up. Mobile network is on and H+ working, but when I'm trying to open Google Play or browser, internet does'nt work, and even can't load it. I tried to flash different modems and roms but still it's hopeless. :crying: Please help and sorry for bad english

Yes
i have the same problem, I have checked my apn and them are correct, but some applications like whatsapp or facebook only work well with wifi, them only work from time to time with data.
I thing it might have something to do when the mobile goes to sleep it can't recover the connection, is it possible?
I found the problem. The problem was APN. I had old apn so network dint worked. If sameone have this problem just ask your carrier for configuration settings by typing sms or calling.
