Hi All,
My device is a Samsung SII I9100.. The device has not have had any problems until recently. I am unable to access internet via the browsers in my fone.. However, all my other non browser apps are able to access internet. I havent made any changes in settings, which might have caused this issue.
This problem is happening only when i try to access internet using 2G from my network provider(Idea). I had called them up, but they are also helpless regarding this issue. Can someone pl suggest on how can i proceed in resolving this problem?
Many thanks,
Atul

maybe 2G speed is too low and browser reach the time limit to load the page..you can always try to cancel browser data and cache (from manage apps settings) and see if it solve the problem

Maybe your 2G speeds is too low.
Try this,
Download Opera mini using 3G network
Run opera mini to complete the installation.
Then run opera mini on your 2G network, try to Google search something, if it loads, then it might be your slow 2G network causing the problem
Happy Independence Day!
There are many browser out there to try chrome, dolphin, opera and so on.
Try one of them and see if the problem persist.

I already have Opera installed. I'm facing the same issue in Opera as well
I tried clearing the cache, but that didnt help. This problem started occurring recently. Before that I was able
to get connected via any browser. As far as i remember, i havent made any change in settings that could have caused this.
Any suggestions pl...
Many thanks,

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
Hi All, finally have my device with me.
Having problems setting up the data connections via wifi please help.
I have set up the wifi network on my device. The web browser works fine, no problem at all.
But when I click any application which requires internet connection, I am not able to connect via wifi.
Application example, Email, Gtalk , Gmail , Android Market etc..
All these applications work fine when I disable my wifi and use my SIM cards EDGE network for data connection. But as soon as I enable wifi these application give the error message , that they could not connect to server.
My wifi is working, the web browser works, I have checked.
Is there a setting which I need to enable so that the applications use the wifi network also for data connections ?
Please Help, this is my 1st android device, have I overlooked some settings which I need to enable ?
Any idea anyone,what setting have I missed
I am getting really desperate now, please please someone help me out.
I have searched the net,the forums, other forums....found similar posts , but no answers.
My GPRS is working absolutely fine with the apps,
wifi is working but only in browser.
I am not able to access any apps via wifi network.
For my wifi network I have to use proxy server, is that the reason for the apps not working via wifi ?
Is there a solution for it ?
I have searched the net,the forums, other forums....found similar posts , but no answers.

I meant to say, that I have tried to search (google), visited other android forums, searched this particular forum, but did not find any answer.
there were a couple of other users at various forums who were facing similar issues as to what I am facing, but no one was able to solve their query.
Please if anyone knows how to resolve my query please answer.
I am having an odd problem with my Optimus one. Internet connection is working fine for all the apps over WIFI, but when i switch to my EDGE connection, apps like Market, Mail (Yahoo), Facebook, Cnet, NDTV and many more are giving an error saying "Network error, Unable to retrieve error". I tested the mobile network settings and i am able to browse fine using browser app in my mobile. Looks like only my browser alone works fine using EDGE. I searched a lot but couldn't figure out the solution.
Note: I recently rooted my device and moved few apps to my SD card using Titanium. I am thinking if i have moved some important app which should be running in internal memory for the apps to retrieve data in EDGE networks. Before rooting i was able to connect to internet for all the apps both using WIFI and EDGE without any problems.
Please help. I am struck with this problem for over two weeks.
Thanks in Advance
im not sure if this will work but try this:
go to settings>wireless&networks>mobile networks>access point names
there set the options that are appropriate for your phone
Yeah.. i verified that.. Thanks for helping. but i don't think its problem with mobile networks as i am able to launch all the websites using my browser apps. Its just that my apps are not able to use the mobile network i guess.

I guess the problem lies with the apn only...
It happens with me sometime as the access point name automatically switches to wap access point when data is not available over gprs
I think your cell is currently using a wap access point...try switching it back to gprs one...
Like here in my bsnl
bsnllive is for wap &
bsnlnet is for gprs....
Press thanks if thos helped....

Thanks so much .. I had similar issue and its resolved ..
I was trying from last 2-3 days but was not able to ..
Hats off to the person who gave the solution so easily
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!

Hello, I am encounting a mysterious problem.
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
Sometimes, the mobile data connection seems to be connected (the arrows are coloured) but the connection doesn't work.
I can't find a rule about a specific factor that causes this malfunction.
SOLUTION ATTEMPTS
Sometimes the mobile data connection works fine but occasionally I encounter the above mentioned problem that can be solved only by rebooting the device.
I tried to disable and re-enable the data connection, enable and re-disable the flight mode, delete cache but nothing happened. The only solution is to reboot the phone.
I wonder:
Which factor causes the problem?
What exactly a reboot achieves that solves the malfunction?
How can I solve the problem by acting similarly to a reboot but without rebooting the device?

2.3.7 MROM
Vodafone Greece and WInd Greece (the problem occurs using both companies, so it's not a company sourced issue)
Any ideas?
I just discovered another solution that permanently sovles the problem:
When the problem occurs, I open a brower.
I test using the data connection to load a website and the connection doesn't work.
I disable the data connection, enable wifi, reload the website and now the webpage normally loaded.
I disable the wifi, enable data connection, reload the website and now the webpage normally loaded.
The data connection now works normally for the specific browser but not for other applications. Doing the same steps for another app browser the problem can be also be solved for the other specific browser.
I am trying to understand the source of the problem and how the above mentioned steps solves it for a specific app and also how reboot works solving generally the problem.
Any ideas??
It was finally a DNS issue.
Sony Xperia Z mobile data wont work
Hey my Xperia z firmware failed after a tweak incompatibility, so I flashed it with the global 4.1.2 firmware and my mobile data connects it just doesn't give me a data connection. I updated to 4.2.2 and it still didnt work, so then I updated to 4.3 and it still doenst work. Can you help me.

Bell Canada
Sony Xperia Z
Android 4.3 Ice Cream Sandwich (I think)
Wrong device firum, dude.
But you can check your dns settings in your apn. Switch them to 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 to see if that's the issue, if it isn't, switch them back
