When I try to share my mobile data connection to laptop, my laptop can't access internet.
No matter if I use USB or Wifi connection.
Everything seems to be ok, as far as settings are conserned.
Computer recognises and connects ok to the wifi hotspot or usb connection, but can't access internet.
I've tried stock rooted/unrooted and foxhound roms without luck.
Old SGS2 can share net without a problem in sight on every custom rom I've tried. I really need my "lifeline" to work with this phone.
Suggestions anyone?
[ My operator tele-finland sent 2 settings files: internet and wap. Problem was, that the WAP settongs went as default APN... ]
Edit: I've tried Foxfi app with no luck. Seems like there is a signifigant problem with my phone settings conserning mobile data, sice foxfi couldn't verify my internet connection and facebook doesn't automatically update status and youtube app can't load a single video to display...

Nice app, though it has trial quota and USB tethering only.
But one slight problem... still no internet connection.
Is the only way to (totally) reset mobile data operator settings by making factory reset/full wipe?:crying:

I used to have the exact same problem. However mine got fixed by editing the APN. Try clearing out the 'authentication type' and 'apn type' fields.
Thank you circuit89! My operator had sent me two setrings, internet and wap... Guess which one was chosen as default
Solution was to change default APN to internet from that obsolete WAP

Greeting,
I have downloaded and install quite number of applications(eg: weather panel,weather watcher and etc) but it always prompts me internet connection not established, even through my phone dopod818pro conncected through USB to my pc and i can surf internet through my pc on my phone. Any ideas from any experts??
Thanks in advance...
The answer is the connection setting.
You should customize the connection setting and if you used proxy, please also correct the proxy setting.
Usually the setting use My work network for both, internet and local network, and also disable any bluetooth explorer.
I use also dopod 818pro and no problem with weather setting

More detail...
What ROM, what IPL/SPL, any proxy settings etc...
Also, why is this in the "Prophet Mobile 6" Forum, when it is not directly related to "Mobile 6"?
Hello guys,
As you can see from the thread's title my phone can conect to any WiFi router(in WiFi menu it says it's conected) but Market doesn't work and my browser(Dolphin and stock browser too) says that "Tha page is unavailable". I also tried other internet using applications, none of them works.
But they all work when I enable 3G. So the problem is only with WiFi.
I'm on mik's CM7 v6.5.7 with franco,Kernel 19.4.
I did a data wipe, then reflashed all the stuff and the problem didn't solve. I also tried fserve's gbs v15 kernel.
Any ideas? I am sorry if this is a NOOb question, I've benn searching the answer for three days and didn't find anything...
EDIT: The problem is not the router. I tried to conect to the internet at severeal places: resataurants, caffes and public hotspot and none of the internet using apps does work.
Dumb questions first.
Can anything else connect to the internet through the router? ie is the router connected to the internet?
Can you access files on a server attached to the router, using an app like ES File Explorer?
Pfff....
The problem is not the router. I tried to conect to the internet at severeal places: resataurants, caffes and public hotspot and none of the internet using apps does work.
Password needed to connect probably or something like that. Or, the device connect to the router, but it got have permission from the router owner to use bandwidth.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
All the WiFI networks were OPEN, so none of them needed password. And my phone says that it's conected(the wifi icon on the statusbar shows this too) . Do you think that in a restaurant you aren't allowed by the router owner to use the WiFi network's bandwidth? That would be really funny.
Slightly less dumb question next
Have you tried using something like Wifi Connect to log onto the wifi, so that you can access the wider internet? My phone shows lots of "open" wifi downtown, but I still need to connect (log in) to use them.
I must admit, I'm a NOOB...
I didn't try that, I don't even know what it is.I think there is a misunderstanding. I don't have a router at home, I only tried at public hotspots and some restaurants, so I wasn't able to se or customize the routers.
EDIT: Oh, I know what you are talking about.
There wasn't any site on which was written I should log in to ise that network. It should have worked without that.
Wifi Connect is an app - download from the market and see if it helps you out
OK, I will try it tomorrow, since now I'm not able to do it. Thank you in advance.
Hi
I'm using my i5500 (Cm 7.1/1.3 with hotfix 1, and baseband LUYJPE) as my primary internet connection, using USB tethering. I have an unlimited data plan.
Whilst using utorrent, downloading will be fine for 20 mins or so, then just cut out. Data & tethering are still enabled on g5, and PC apparently still has a connection. But can't actually use net.
So, I disable tethering & re-enable, and it's fine again. So, it has to be a phone issue, right?
Anyone have any more info, or suggestions?
(I've tried this with Froyo, CM7.1 (1.0, and 1.3) and is there with all.)
Problem still exists, still looking for help/ideas.
Also, I've found that a lot of android phones do this, some say because of USB 1 ports, others because of the number of connections...I'm lost...

It sounds like your provider is capping your data session to me... On Bell Mobility in Canada, some customers have found that when using pda.bell.ca as their APN, the session caps out at whatever value, but when using pda2.bell.ca as their APN, the session isn't capped... It may be worth looking into, just for kicks and giggles...
Yeah, that's what I thought originally.
But...
I can restart traffic by disabling & re-enabling tethering. The phones connection stays active during that time, and data picks up again.
Also, I can download as much as I like at a high rate, providing upload isn't much. A HTTP download whizzes by, where as any torrent crashes.

The only other thing that comes to mind is that your provider may be throttling the connection... You could try encrypting the torrent's connections, and using non standard ports...
Haven't been able to see or change themes or log in or out since yesterday. Is the themer server having problems again or is just me?

Try switching to mobile data/restarting your phone/reinstalling Themer. One of these should work

Okay, well that seems to be it, switching to Mobile Data. But why? It's always worked before over wifi and nothing has changed in my Internet status or on my phone. Same internet, same cable modem, same router, same ROM with the same settings. And I've rebooted modem, router, and phone. What can I look for that could be blocking Themer beta from working on my phone (GNII) over wifi that has changed since 2 days ago?
Edit: Unless Google is hiding some kind of firewall tweak inside a recent Search or YouTube update, I'm stumped!
Edit 2: All other Internet services on the phone including T-Mobile wifi calling are working normally.
The issue to me is themer same thing data works fine wifi a pain in arse,as you say this has only been an issue over the last couple of days.Also now running very sluggish,everything else again is running fine over wifi just themer having issue
Problem solved, sort of: I've isolated the issue to my own Charter cable connection. It works fine on mobile or wifi data connection outside of my own location. In my Motorola cable box, if I go to the firewall settings, and change the firewall protection to "none," Themer works. But if I change it to "Low," it doesn't, even though I've always had it on "low." Guessing they pushed out an update or changed something on the backend.
Can anyone tell me what port (if not port 80) that Themer uses on the phone to connect to themer servers?
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!
